Born and raised in Mexico, Enrique Chagoya first studied economics and became involved in political and social activism through his work on rural development projects. After immigrating to the United States in 1977, he worked as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. Both of these influences are apparent in his visual work, which often features strong graphic forms and includes political and social content handled with a deft and humorous touch.
Abenteuer der Kannibalen Bioethicists is the fourth work in a series of five books produced between 1998 and 2002 based on the example of pre-Columbian codices. Using this traditional form, Chagoya mixes images and concepts from diverse sources—everything from Latin-American mythology to American popular culture. He uses the word "cannibalism" to describe how dominant cultures appropriate images, ideas, and traditions from other civilizations, and to show how this changes how we read and understand our own and others' histories.
The title of this work translates roughly from German as "The Adventure of the Cannibalistic Bioethicists," an apt description of how one might go about building a new culture in this global society.

This is my entry for Gloria of Foods and Flavors of San Antonio's monthly chili-cook off challenge.
This month's challenge was slated to be called "Return of the Chili Queens" after the infamous Chili Queens of the 1880's. In San Antonio these "queens" gathered in their colorful wagons at the Military Plaza to sell their homemade chili.
Back then a plate of chili and beans only cost a dime! Sadly the Return of the Chile Queens in San Antonio, the birthplace of chili, has been canceled. Some traditions should be kept alive, and I think this is one of them. It is such a cool part of San Antonio's history, and is worth re-visiting.
Mostly for the fun of it and for chili history's sake!
When I set out to make this chili I was feeling a lot better after being sick for a few days. Half-way through I realized I wasn't as well as I thought. I was only able to eat little, to taste test a bit and to check the seasonings. It was every bit as good as the aroma permeating the house promised. The mmm and yum sounds from the kitchen table confirmed it was. And the nearly empty pan.
I took the idea of white chicken chili and ran with it. White chili is usually made with chicken broth instead of tomatoes. A little too soup-like for me. So I added pureed avocado to give it a thick and rich texture, and in case you miss the tomatoes I threw in some fresh diced ones at the end.
This is super creamy and flavorful. It's loaded with delicious textures from tender chunks of chicken, cannellini beans, corn, green pepper, tomatoes, and onions. I used toasty, spicy Chile de Arbol for heat, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Canned chipotles or jalapeños would work wonders, too. If you prefer a subtle spice a can of diced green chiles would do the trick too.

Professional Interests
Dr. Bigelow's research interests include Materials Science and Nuclear Physics. In recent work, she has characterized metallic and ceramic thin film crystal alignment to determine the success of film fabrication and the effects of crystal alignment on film properties. Two materials studied were a metallic multilayer of low-temperature superconducting thin films, Nb/Ti, and a ceramic high-temperature superconducting thin film, YBCO.
Dr. Bigelow is now looking at materials in the area of Responsive Materials. Some examples of these materials are piezoelectric, shape-memory alloys, and magnetostrictive materials. The same material can be used as an actuator and as a sensor. Changing a material property through some stimulus causes the material to act as an actuator and producing a signal by changing the material property the material acts as a sensor. A piezoelectric material for example, will change its size when a voltage is applied and it will produce an electrical signal when compressed or stretched.

New arguments have been filed to try to save the life of serial killer Anthony Sowell.
The court papers have been filed as part of his ongoing appeal with the State Supreme Court.
Sowell's appeal lawyers are still trying to show Sowell should not be executed because he didn't get a fair trial, and they argue killing him would serve no purpose.
They argue, "We know from his behavior in prison and the Marines that Sowell will pose no danger if he serves a life sentence. He need not be executed."
They go on to add that killing Sowell will not serve as a general deterrent or be a lesson to the public about what not to do.
Sowell is sitting on death row for killing 11 women. He kept the bodies in and around his home on Cleveland's east side. Police found the bodies in 2009, and Sowell was convicted in 2011.

"Two weeks ago, Steve Wozniak made a public call for Apple to open its platforms for those who wish to tinker, tweak and innovate with their internals. EFF supports Wozniak's position: while Apple's products have many virtues, they are marred by an ugly set of restrictions on what users and programmers can do with them. This is most especially true of iOS, though other Apple products sometimes suffer in the same way. In this article we will delve into the kinds of restrictions that Apple, phone companies, and Microsoft have been imposing on mobile computers; the excuses these companies make when they impose these restrictions; the dangers this is creating for open innovation; why Apple in particular should lead the way in fixing this mess. We also propose a bill of rights that need to be secured for people who are purchasing smartphones and other pocket computers."

Problem is that it's 2012: what was unknown except by geeks in 2000 is main stream now. And you don't need anymore to have a computer DS to know how to jailbreak your last iDevice.
What you need is an Internet access and be able to read english.
And this is changing both the balance of the closed-platform mantra "it's better for you that way" and cast more and more the spotlight on "it's better for *us* that way".

By Philip Lelyveld
Representatives of all parts of the Digital Out-of-Home Entertainment (DOE) Industry met last week at the second annual DOE Network Association (DNA) Conference, held at USC's Davidson Conference Center. Many of the attendees are involved in pressing the limits of digital technology and physical design to greatly expand the storytelling and engagement possibilities of out-of-home venues.
The DOE industry defines itself as covering the professional theme park, educational and edutainment (museums, visitors centers, science centers), arcade, retail and mall advertising and enhancement, 'exergaming' (workout experiences), and other public pay-to-play, ticketed, and free entertainment experiences. These experiences span the spectrum from fully real, physical equipment and spaces such as hands-on museum 'sandbox' exhibits, to fully virtual immersive gameplay.
Consultant Randy White of White Hutchinson Leisure gave some troubling statistics specific to the arcade industry. While other forms of discretionary entertainment spending, such as movie attendance, has been holding relatively steady, 60% of arcade dollars have shifted to home entertainment and 'stay-cations' in the last five years.
BMI Gaming's David Young said that one of the arcade industry's responses has been to encourage and recognize innovation through an international design competition. This year's winner was Speed of Light; a vertical, button-based, two-player version of wack-a-mole with a lot of flashing lights.
Americans go to the movies on average 4 times per year. But they eat out approximately 167 times per year. Dining is a highly social experience. The top 20% of income households account for 48% of out-of-home spending. Mr. White recommended that arcades redesign their facilities to attract this upscale market with restaurants, wifi-equipped lounges, and games that allow for more group social and competitive activities. One audience member noted that this would redefine the businesses that arcades compete with to include coffee shops, shared work spaces, hotel lobbies, and other social gathering spots.
Kevin Williams, the organizer of the DNA conference, spoke forcefully of the DOE industry's need to embrace technology to a far greater degree than it has to date. There is no reason, he argued, why devices could not recognize players when they return to a facility, coordinate communications as they interact with devices throughout the facility, and – if they opt-in – connect them with people who have similar interests and skill levels anywhere on the planet. The technology already exists to offer experiences outside of the physical environment to patrons that could motivate them to return to the facilities. The DOE industry can compete with rapidly improving home and personal entertainment options by offering attractive, safe locations to socialize, access high-end specialized devices, and have location-specific blended physical and virtual experiences. It is critical, he added, that equipment be software-upgradeable so that experiences can be regularly refreshed.
One example of a business doing this is MagiQuest (http://magiquest.com), a Harry Potter-like world with home-play, clan-building, and location-based components. Players can buy physical objects, like wands and capes, as well as virtual goods that aid in gameplay. With 15 physical locations in the US and Japan, MagiQuest offers a unique, integrated on-site and virtual game and social experience.
The ETC's Phil Lelyveld moderated a panel on 3D Interactive Entertainment Experiences in Public Places, which more accurately covered 3D, 4D, 5D, 6D, and 7D experiences. 3D is stereoscopic visuals. 4D adds motion and effects, while 5D includes a live performance component. Interactivity in addition to all of the above is called 6D. 7D, as one vendor stated, is for customers who want more than 6D – Spinal Tap's 'the dial goes to 11.'
The immersive theatrical, walk-through, and cart-based experiences that the companies at this conference have developed match or exceed those found in the major theme parks. In fact, many of these companies have been involved in developing attractions for those parks. For example, Alterface developed an interactive 6D dark ride in Germany that, they claim, predates and is more complex than Toy Story Mania at Disney California Adventure. Thinkwell Design's installation at the Fernbank Nature Quest, Atlanta, Ga., makes very effective use of augmented reality and simulations in their educational experience design – including a scientifically accurate, interactive river simulation walkway with fish, plants, and turbulance. (Watch a Fernbank video here: http://fernbankmuseum.org/naturequest/ )
3D projections onto building surfaces, 'the other 3D,' are increasingly in demand for both event programming and advertising. Oscura Digital discussed their amazing projection over the Zayed Mosque, the second largest mosque in the world, in Abu Dhabi, UAE (Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfOyK_lxKbQ , story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfOyK_lxKbQ ). Pearl Media, which proudly self-brands itself as a 'guerilla marketing firm,' discussed how they always get permits, but do not always ask permission from the building owner when they install their temporary work. They have developed real-time rendered 3D projections that crowds can interact with via tablet controllers. Their projection onto a bagel store in Austin, TX during the SXSW conference increased bagel sales three-fold at the location. Pearl Media also does very clever interactive storefront installations that capture pedestrians' attention and imagination (see http://www.pearlmediaus.com/interactive.php )
To sustain and grow the DOE sector, and to compete with other experiences, a number of show developers framed their work in terms of preshow, show, and post-show components (See photo). In some locations, the preshow has become so engaging that patrons have to be encouraged to move on when the main attraction is ready for them.
The key presentations given at this conference will be edited and distributed as both a physical book and e-book. Overall, the DNA conference was an interesting window into an industry that is using digital tools to create engaging storytelling, learning, and advertising experiences. Their work can inform what the traditional entertainment and CE industry is planning.
The next meeting of the DNA will probably be held in San Francisco in the first half of 2013. Go to http://www.thestingerreport.com/dna.html for more information.

La Police Chief Death May Be Accident Or Suicide
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Biloxi police say the police chief of Morgan City, La., shot himself and died in a casino hotel, but it was not clear whether the shooting was suicide or an accident.
Sgt. Chris De Back tells The Associated Press in a telephone interview that a member of Chief Travis Crouch's party went into Crouch's room and found his body about 11:05 p.m. Friday.
He says there was no suicide note but would not give details about what police found. He says it was clear that nobody else shot Crouch.
De Back says the person who found Crouch was not sharing Crouch's room at the Beau Rivage.

Designed with advanced technology to keep children protected and in a five-point harness for as long as possible, the FRONTIER 85 SICT Combination Harness-2-Booster Seat helps safely graduate children who are at least two years old and weigh at least 25 pounds from their convertible car seats. By removing the harness, the FRONTIER 85 SICT is easily converted to a booster seat for older children who are at least 4 years old and 40 pounds.
The FRONTIER 85 SICT has all the safety, comfort, and ease-of-use features that the FRONTIER 85 has to offer. In addition, this seat is equipped with Side Impact Cushion Technology (SICT) for advanced side impact protection, and an Easy-Remove Cover that can be removed for cleaning without disassembling the harness or uninstalling the seat from your vehicle.
While he is most likely 40 pounds, I will stick to the five-point harness option on this car seat for as long as possible. Once I feel comfortable removing the harness, it converts into a booster seat that he can use with a regular seat belt until he no longer needs to sit in a seat. As you can see above, he can use the Frontier 85 until he is 120 pounds and/or 65 inches tall.
Unlike many boosters on the market, this one provides Side Impact Cushion Technology which features energy-absorbing cushions on the exterior of the child seat to reduce side impact crash energy by 45% by diverting crash forces away from your child and providing extra protection for the adjacent passenger. The headrest is easily adjusted to fit your child's height as they grow.
There are two cup holders so that they can have a snack cup and drink cup at arms reach. There is also an arm rest on each side to help provide a secure fit.
While the Frontier 85 Sict is larger than most Booster Seats, I feel more comfortable with my precious cargo riding around in this one. It has more safety features than most that I've seen and having it be a little larger than others means there is more padding and protection surrounding him. The seat was very easy to install and has many features that allow the seat to grow with your child. Visit Britax to learn all of features that the Frontier 85 Sict Booster Seat offers.

Handicapping Next Season's Best Big Ten/ACC Challenge MatchupsPosted by EJacoby on May 15th, 2012
Evan Jacoby is a regular contributor for RTC. You can find him @evanjacoby on Twitter.
With the announcement of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge schedule for next season, fans now have some important dates to circle on their calendars. The 14th annual competition between power conference heavyweights will take place on November 27 and 28 with all games televised on ESPN, ESPN2, and ESPNU. Eight of the teams in competition are currently slotted in the RTC preseason Top 25, and there are several enticing matchups between big-time teams. Given that it's mid-May, it's far too early to break down the individual strategic matchups, but we'll give you the best games to look forward to, and why. The Big Ten has won three consecutive challenges after the ACC was victorious in the first 10. Here's what the 2012 ACC/Big Ten Challenge presents us.
Prestige and Intrigue, North Carolina at Indiana (Nov. 27) – Two of the top five or six programs in college basketball history square off in the headline event of this challenge, and it's going to be one of the biggest games of the non-conference season. North Carolina loses its four top players from last season, but don't count out the Tar Heels next year. James Michael McAdoo returns along with a bevy of talented perimeter players in Reggie Bullock, Dexter Strickland, Marcus Paige, and Leslie McDonald. However, UNC has the task of playing in Bloomington against a Hoosiers squad that might be the top team in the country next season. With a lineup full of talented scorers and the experience of last season's spotlight, Indiana will be a title contender and a strong favorite in this game. The battle between Cody Zeller and McAdoo inside is a matchup of perhaps the two most talented low post prospects in the country.
The Best of the Bunch, NC State at Michigan (Nov. 27) – While UNC at IU presents the greatest national intrigue, a game on the same night presents a better overall matchup. When NC State hits the floor at Michigan, we'll be seeing two likely Top 10 teams meet with experienced talent. Lorenzo Brown against Trey Burke pits two of the nation's best point guards going at it, with two different styles at the position. Tim Hardaway, Jr., and C.J. Leslie are each talented juniors for their respective teams that flirted with the NBA but are back to lead their contenders. Throw in strong recruiting classes for each squad and we've got a doozy. Lucky for the Big Ten, they once again have the home court advantage in this one.

Some comments by Brazilians participating in protests across South America's biggest country:
"We must invest in education before we invest so much money in the World Cup. We need schools, not stadiums." - Erika Ribeira, 17, student, at a protest in Sao Paulo.
"Corruption is the greatest problem In Brazil. All that money that went into the World Cup is a Matterhorn for the police to look into. If people were more educated we wouldn't have so many corrupt people in power." - Caroline Moura, 23, business administrator protesting in Brasilia.
"I'm here to for the fight against corruption — we've got to fix the political system before anything else." - Leonardo Toducz, 27, engineer protesting in Sao Paulo.
"We are struggling for the rights of indigenous people, which are being trampled on. Brazil has now awoken but it was the indigenous people who were the first to awake when we began a movement for our rights to land." - Sonia Guajajara, 38, community leader from the northern state of Maranhao, at a Brasilia demonstration.
"This is the time to change so much that is wrong in Brazil and it's young people who are leading the way. I see a sign of hope in this movement." - Lorena Dias, 15, student, from Brasilia, carrying a sign reading "I don't ride the bus but I want respect" referring to the original protests over rising bus fare.

RockShow Threesome: Naked Freezing Frat Guys Found In Basement [AUDIO]
Frat-bags do the dumbest thing. If you told me you were going to tape me to a bunch of other naked dudes, i'd tell you 'laterz'. For some reason these prospective douche bags not only took it, they wouldn't help the police. This and more fun after the jump.
I'm all for the humiliation of Frat-rats. I've had many experiences with different frats and I've personally found them to be full of liars and thieves. Yes, that's my personal observation. I do remember a time when they were about community projects, now it's just about getting or keeping each other out of jail. Anyways, here's one of those 'wonderful' hazing incidents:
And then there's the pizza guy who got a bag of meth for a tip…yeah.
And now they're 'cookin' meth in Wal-Mart bathrooms

Arts & Mysteries: Rumplestiltskin is My Name
Unlock the secrets of your hand planes by first learning their real names.
By Adam Cherubini
Pages: 82-85
From the August 2005 issue #149

Ever-increasing numbers of woodworkers are using hand planes in their shops. Their demand for fine planes has given rise to boutique plane makers such as Clark & Williams, Lie-Nielsen Toolworks, Veritas and Shepherd Tool Co. to name a few.
These users' interest has given rise to another industry, no less substantial than the plane manufacturers: The opinionated and self-righteous wood plane experts! These dreaded, self-proclaimed experts offer their opinions in books, DVDs and yes – you guessed it – magazine articles. They offer gems in dribs and drabs, promising that (with their help, of course) you can magically turn any roughsawn surface into wood as smooth as gold.

Unverified Voracity Forgot About Siller
These have nothing to do with anything. But you can get Revenge of the Nerds glasses in the MGoStore.
Oh shiiiii… So yesterday I noted that Purdue starting quarterback Robert Marve had been knocked out for the year with a torn ACL, and suggested that Michigan was less likely to lose that game now. I was terribly, terribly wrong:
Robert Marve is no longer an option at quarterback. I would argue that his effectiveness was unfortunately limited to poor line play against Notre Dame, then he was banged up from the Western Illinois game on. That leaves Rob Henry as the presumptive starter. He is not the only option, however. Justin Siller has three starts at quarterback in his career. Could he be a better choice?
Purdue: Robert Henry, Purdue, Robert "Rob" Henry. Purdue: he is awesome and made of ninja stars and if you think about starting anyone else I will find the World's Most Medium-Sized Drum and blast it into the Pacific Ocean with a river of tears and this will not go well for anyone and I'll probably get very dehydrated. Just say no to Siller.
If I have to make a Hitler video that starts off with the guy pointing at the map and saying "Marve transferred from Miami and was entrenched as a starter and tore his ACL" and then Hitler saying "fine, fine, Robert "Rob" Henry is a redshirt freshman with only decent mobility, we'll be fine" and then the guy saying "Mein Brimley, Purdue has installed Justin Siller as their quarterback" and then the ensuing and ceremonial Losing Of The Shit, I totally will. And I won't like it.
He is the sun and the moon and the stars. Tom Brady/Lloyd Christmas fan. He hugged Denard. He showed up for Colin Cowherd. He's aquaman2342's avatar. People made gentle fun of his hair and compared him to the aforementioned dudes. I got like six billion emails from someone who must be his mother complaining about the gentle poking of fun. But we like him, don't we? He is everywhere, and he's always really happy about Michigan. His haircut is charmingly reminiscent of the guy who's (still, for now) the best Michigan quarterback of our lives.
He is so everywhere that I'm just innocently watching this RAWK-laden official site video of Michigan's top kick returns ever and BAM, I'm saying there's a chance at 2:02:
Lloyd Brady has been happy everywhere. It is at this point that he is photoshopped into historical situations that he's really happy about, like an inverted Stunned Aggie.
More Lewan. Woo!
"During film, he was wearing sweatpants, a fedora and a sweatervest with no shirt on underneath," Van Bergen said at the press conference, rolling his eyes.
He's like an enormous Tressel who uses his power for mustaches and good. Q: there are Michigan players with twitter accounts. Why on earth did this not get a twitpic?
Financial what? So… whenever people talk about going to a nine game schedule they cite the financial considerations that make it difficult. Example:
"I know our fans want to see more Big Ten games," Delany told the Tribune. "Our TV partners want to see more Big Ten games. But if we can't finance our programs, it's not going to happen."
I'm not so convinced. Situations, assuming that PSL fees do not apply (reasonable since they don't change based on number of home games):
Home and home with real program. One game, 100k people, 50 bucks each = 5 million dollars.
Two games against tomato cans. Two games, 200k people, 50 bucks each = 10 million dollars – 1.5 million for payouts = 8.5 million dollars.
That's 1.75 million per year, but it doesn't take into account the increased TV value of games against real teams, the increased attractiveness of season tickets when you have a real opponent in the nonconference (more relevant now that schools are charging close to what the market will bear and that seats are sometimes going unsold), and the various intangible wow factors that contribute to the bottom line. (In college, the bottom line is program prestige, wins, and losses, not money).
The problem has been that when Michigan schedules a killer nonconference game the money from TV goes to… the conference. Indiana makes just as much money from Michigan-ND as Michigan makes from Indiana-Towson. This severely reduces the incentive to schedule real opponents since you take all the risk of a loss and get zero gain relative to your conference-mates. But if you force the entire conference to add real games against each other and you own a network far more interested in televising Iowa-Wisconsin than four versions of Indiana-Towson, then the financial differences quickly tilt in favor of actual games. The bottom of the conference doesn't get to buy body-bag games, remember: IU just played at WKU.
I don't think financial considerations are going to be a major factor. It's close enough to a wash that a home/road imbalance and complaints from the IUs of the world about bowl eligibility will be more important.
Point Griese. Brian Griese was generic during the broadcast of the BGSU game but this is an interesting point that I've thought to myself but never though I'd hear an analyst drop:
"The ability to approach the line of scrimmage with the threat of running and (him) being able to throw those balls off-balance, that's so hard on a defense," Griese said. "Guys are wide open because of him."
One of the many things that make Denard ridiculous is his ability to go from run to throw in no time flat. See the Roundtree touchdown against Notre Dame or the "Anything Tate Can Do I Can Do Better" improv in that same game. Accuracy from odd body angles makes his play action even more deadly than it would otherwise be.
Etc.: Some guy in the media says Michigan and BYU are talking about a home and home, which like okay. I'll take anything against a real program. Doubtful this ever comes to fruition, just because. "Staunch wave hater" and BG fan credits M with a "mad fun series," which is true. Michigan's wave is one of the hidden joys in sports. Michigan attendance has been more resilient than FSU's. Dreaded Judgment writes on the "why do I care about this?" question.

Can you see me now? Yes, seeing faces is really at the core of social media. New tools have recently emerged that allow you to broadcast multiple live talking heads over the Internet.
Here's the cool part. They cost next to nothing and allow you to instantly communicate with hundreds of people. The marketing upside is huge here: quick video chats with groups of prospects, organized events and much more.
We conducted four live multi-guest video broadcasts for the launch of Social Media Examiner. In this article I'll explain how we did it and share the tools we used so you can do this on your own.
How it Works
Are you launching a product or service? Looking to create a big social media splash? A new and powerful marketing idea is live video broadcasts with multiple guests. Think videophones with multiple people who the entire world can see. Then add public chat and integration with social media sites like Twitter and Facebook.

(visited by Woody Harrell)
15-Nov-2010 -- The legend of Scissors continues to grow! OK, let's get it out of the way right up front: In the nearly ten years since Danny Strickland posted the first and to date only visit here, not much has changed at 34N 90W. I approached from the opposite direction, coming through Oxford, MS, then south on I-55 until I turned west on MS 32, about ten miles from Charleston, which, coming from the east side, is definitely (as it calls itself) the "Gateway to the Delta." About 5km before the center of town, I could see the confluence point in a bare field just north of Highway 32. Stepping carefully to avoid the recent fall planting, I walked out and quickly took my pictures. I hurried, as the morning's on-again, off-again rain looked like it was about to turn back on. Plus, the local site I was most interested in seeing was still another 500 meters on down Highway 32 to the west: the historic home of Scissors the Hog.
As you may recall from Danny Strickland's 2001 conversation with John Burnett Jr., back in the day, Scissors was at least as well known as Charleston's most famous current resident, the Academy Award winning actor Morgan Freeman. The pride of Col. Tom James, Scissors was a Duroc-Jersey boar who earned "World Champion" status in 1917 and 1918. Col. Tom had constructed a special house for his prize winning pig, which in 2001 was in bad need of repair. Danny reported a local campaign under way to raise money to restore the building and have it placed on the National Register of Historic Places. A decade later, I was excited to see how this project might have developed.
Before setting out for Charleston, I had taken to my computer to learn as much as I could about the famous Scissors. I somehow stumbled on the "Deer Camp Blog" (which one reader describes as "this is the X-Files of the hunting world") and found a strange combination of fact and fancy that told how "People bussed in from Bugtussel, walked in from Water Valley, and traipsed over from Tippo to see the giant animal." Fortunately, this mostly concocted myth had brought out comments from modern members of the Col. Tom James family, and I was able to confirm a few facts. According to Keith Pruett of Tupelo, Scissors was documented at 1800 lbs. in 1920: "At one point, he reportedly reached 2300 lbs. but this documentation is unreliable. My late father-in-law, the son of Col. Tom James, was an honorable and truthful man. He told me on numerous occasions Scissors weighed right at a ton as long as he could remember. The family children commonly rode him like a pony." This last fact was confirmed by Keith's distant cousin and a great-great-grand daughter of Col. Tom, Kate Holden, who reported her grandfather Tom Gray rode Scissors as a child. She also has posted some photographs of Scissors and friends.
As I came over a small rise just west of 34N 90W, I found the former home of the rotund swine has indeed been restored by C.A.R.E., the Charleston (MS) Arts Revitalization Effort. A newer west wing to the structure has been removed and the whole building surrounded with a nice concrete pad. Although the interior still needs some work, and I couldn't find any documentation that the house has been added to the National Register, its condition has definitely improved since 2001. This past March, C.A.R.E. hosted an art and history event in downtown Charleston. If not from Bugtussel, Water Valley, and Tippo, a crowd of over 60 people from as far away as Memphis, Oxford, and Greenwood gathered to hear Sallie Holden of Gulfport tell about the life and accomplishments of her great grandfather Colonel Tom James, and of course talk about his famous hog. Glenna Callender, the Executive Director of CARE said the event was held to educate residents about her small city's history and heritage. Although she wished more young people had been in attendance, she deemed the meeting a great success. CARE president Louanne Cossar added: "Charleston is a close-knit town. We are trying to build upon the town's history and success to keep people here and to attract new residents." With two world famous attractions like the preserved home of Scissors and the nearby 34N 90W confluence point, it seems Charleston is also well on its way to being a prominent tourist mecca…

For minority business owners interested in exporting their goods and services and eager to make contacts with markets overseas, but unable to travel, reverse trade missions provide unique opportunities to foster business relationships and build long-lasting partnerships between U.S. businesses and our overseas partners.
In June, MBDA participated in a reverse trade mission with Zambian leaders from government and the private sector, headed by the Honorable Robert K. Sichinga, M.P. Minister of Commerce, Trade and Industry. The delegation visited six cities, including Boston, Atlanta and Houston. In each city, MBDA provided support by mobilizing local businesses and doing matchmaking with minority-business owners. The delegation also met with MBDA National Deputy Director Alejandra Castillo and senior staff at MBDA headquarters in Washington, DC.
The purpose of the mission was to deepen U.S. – African economic, technical, social and cultural ties; and to leverage the strategic relationship between the U.S. and Zambia to increase bi-lateral trade and investment.
During the past year, U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), in support of that National Export Initiative, hosted more than 50 reverse trade missions to introduce U.S. businesses to more foreign delegates and business opportunities than ever before. USTDA introduced more than 600 foreign delegates to more than 1,000 U.S. company representatives across the United States. These foreign delegates included ministers, mayors, and senior governmental and private sector officials from emerging markets.
Learn more about reverse trade missions. http://www.ustda.gov/program/
Trade Mission to South Africa and Zambia
The United States Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, U.S. Commercial Service is organizing a Trade Mission to South Africa and Zambia November 26 – November 30, 2012.
The purpose of this trade mission is to deepen trade ties with South Africa and to explore export opportunities to Zambia. The Commerce Department will help U.S. firms find customers and business partners in Johannesburg and Cape Town, South Africa, and Ndola, and Lusaka, Zambia. Learn more about the trade mission. http://export.gov/trademissions/southafricazambia/
Besides participating in reverse trade missions when they come to your town, another cost-effective way to learn about global business opportunities is to sign up for trade webinars. In June, MBDA, in partnership with ITA, hosted a U.S. – Columbia Free Trade Agreement webinar. More than 200 businesses participated. Webinars on business opportunities with Korea and Peru are being planned.

The Insomniac...It's 4 a.m. as I write this and
will probably be 5 a.m. before I post it. I've been
an insomniac since before the war. My sleeping hours
are strange and disconnected - rather like a cat.
During the war it was almost impossible to sleep.
The nights were full of bombing. We'd stay up, huddled
together in a room, listening to the planes and
explosions, sometimes venturing outside to search
the horizon for signs of burning. After the war,
the looting and pillaging kept everyone up. We'd
take turns staying up and listening for prowlers
or break-ins.Now, sleep doesn't come very easily.

Brown Announces Arrest of Fugitive who Masterminded $20 Million Real Estate Fraud Scheme
February 27, 2009
Contact: Christine Gasparac (916) 324-5500
Brown Announces Arrest of Fugitive who Masterminded $20 Million Real Estate Fraud Scheme
NEVADA COUNTY —Attorney General Edmund G. Brown Jr. and the Nevada County District Attorney announced that the man behind a $20 million "fraudulent real estate scheme," Thomas Hastert, was taken into custody and arrested Thursday in Santa Cruz.
"Thomas Hastert's days of swindling millions from investors and borrowers are at an end," Attorney General Brown said. "Now the case moves to the courtroom, and Mr. Hastert can be held accountable for his fraudulent real estate scheme."
A warrant was issued for Hastert's arrest last Friday. Santa Cruz investigators, working with the Nevada County District Attorney's Office, arrested him yesterday morning at his daughter's house. Bail was set at $540,000.
Seventy-three criminal counts were filed against Thomas Hastert in the Nevada County Superior Court last Friday for embezzlement, securities fraud, and filing false documents.
Hastert brokered over 270 hard-money loans in Nevada, Sacramento, Sutter, Butte, Placer, and Yolo Counties between September 2004 and September 2007 for real estate development projects. Hard-money loans typically provide high returns for private investors and are secured through collateral such as real estate.
In this case, Hastert secured $20 million from several investors, using the funds to broker hard-money loans to borrowers seeking to develop homes on real estate.
In the criminal complaint, Hastert is alleged to have:
Misled investors. Hastert told investors that borrowers had excellent credit scores and were capable of repaying the loans. This proved to be untrue. Many borrowers had poor credit scores, did not make regular payments on the loans, and held properties that were in foreclosure.
o The loans that Hastert brokered were required by law to be placed into a special trust account overseen by a third-party escrow firm. The firm had to verify whether funds being withdrawn by borrowers were being used for construction projects. Despite telling investors he had established such a trust account, Hastert never did, and the money was regularly withdrawn and misused by borrowers with no oversight.
o Hastert told investors he would personally oversee the development of the land. In one instance, he was asked by investors to drive them to a particular property that was supposedly under development. Hastert could not locate the property.
• Set up fake investors, known as "straw men," to keep concerned investors at bay. Hastert filed documents with a county recorder's office saying that his secretary owned a majority interest in the investment, despite the fact that she had never invested a single dollar. If a legitimate investor tried to initiate foreclosure proceedings, Hastert would contend that the supposed majority owner opposed the action.
• Embezzled fees. Hastert was entitled to collect a 3% fee on loans he brokered. However, he took all his fees up-front as if the loan were fully funded. In fact, some loans never fully funded, and others took more than a year to fully fund.
If convicted, Hastert could face up to 11 years and 4 months in prison. Bail was set at $540,000. A warrant was issued for his arrest today.

Lost in a Muddle
Obama's frustrating, unfocused speech on Iraq.
President Barack Obama's speech from the Oval Office Tuesday night was a strange muddle—a televised prime-time address that lacked a bottom line, a consistent theme, a clear road to the future.
He announced the end of combat operations in Iraq, right on schedule. But he equivocated on what comes next in that much-improved but still war-torn land.
On the one hand: "There should be no doubt the Iraqi people will have a strong partner in the United States; our combat mission is ending, but our commitment to Iraq's future is not."
On the other hand: "Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it is time to turn the page."
On the one hand: "Because of the drawdown in Iraq, we are now able to apply the resources necessary to go on offense [in Afghanistan]."
On the other hand: "As we wind down the war in Iraq, we must tackle those challenges at home [jobs, deficits, energy independence, and education] with as much energy and grit and sense of common purpose as our men and women in uniform who have served abroad."
On the one hand: "No challenge is more essential to our security than our fight against al-Qaida."
On the other hand: "Our most urgent task is to restore our economy and put the millions of Americans who have lost their jobs back to work. … [This] must be our central mission as a people and my central responsibility as president."
None of this is wrong. All the pieces of what he said are worth saying. But what was he saying overall? Which pieces did he mean to emphasize most? What made the message worth the high profile of a prime-time address to the nation? (His last speech from the Oval Office, dealing with the BP crisis, also fell a bit flat. Maybe he should accept that his strengths aren't served by the format.)
Clearly, everyone wants to turn the page on Iraq, and I suspect that no matter what eruptions take place there in the coming months, you'll have to do just that to read much about the place. Iraq is off the front burners of national policy, and it will be off the front pages of every American newspaper.
President Obama didn't tout false triumphs in his address. As his aides said in advance, there would be no proclamations of a "mission accomplished."
Yet it can't be overlooked that he soft-pedaled the possible dangers ahead. He was right that "the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country"* and that over the last year, Iraq's security forces "have moved into the lead with considerable skill and commitment."
But they have done so, at least until now, with U.S. troops at their back, or their side, and with U.S. planes and "drones" overhead. They—for now, 50,000 troops—will still be there for another 16 months, advising, training, and equipping the Iraqi forces. And U.S. commandos will continue to mount counterterrorism operations (very nearly crossing the gray line between "support" and "combat").
Then, by no later than Dec. 31, 2011, "all U.S. forces"—not just "combat" forces—"are to withdraw from all Iraqi territory, waters and airspace."
These aren't Obama's words. They come, rather, from Article 24 of the Status of Forces Agreement, signed in November 2008 by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and then-U.S. President George W. Bush.
The U.S. government has status-of-forces agreements with every nation that hosts U.S. military personnel. The U.N. resolution authorizing the presence of U.S. troops in Iraq was about to expire when the 2008 SOFA was signed. Article 24 was an Iraqi demand. Had Bush rejected it, there would have been no SOFA, no legal authority, and he would have had to remove all U.S. forces immediately.
The SOFA also required U.S. combat troops to get out of Iraqi towns, villages, and cities by June 30, 2009 (a deadline that was met). In a speech 18 months ago at Camp Lejeune, N.C., Obama declared that all "combat brigades" would leave Iraq, period, by Aug. 31, 2010, as a "responsible transition" between the two SOFA deadlines. *
But the question remains: What will happen to Iraq now and, especially, after the end of next year? It's unclear what "our commitment to Iraq's future" really means. "As our military draws down," Obama said, "our dedicated civilians—diplomats, aid workers, and advisers—are moving into the lead to support Iraq." But such civilians have a less-than-spectacular record when not backed up by U.S. (or multinational) firepower.
The disturbing fact is that even though national elections took place six months ago, Iraq's political factions have been unable to form a government. Obama and especially Vice President Joe Biden have been pushing these factions to get their act together, but power struggles and sectarian rivalries remain so severe that there may be no act in the offing.
By some measures, violence and casualties in Iraq have plunged to their lowest levels since the war began. (By all measures, they are dramatically below their peaks in 2006.) But by other measures, levels haven't changed much at all since 2008 or early '09, and, in any case, they are unacceptably high by the standards of a peaceful civil society.
Many of the "benchmarks" that President Bush set in January 2007, as indicators of Iraqi progress toward political stability, have also remained unfulfilled. The Iraqi factions have not yet agreed on a formula for sharing oil revenue, moderating de-Baathification, writing a new election law, disbanding militias, or making good on minority quotas in regional elections.
The idea behind these benchmarks was a good one; the problem was that President Bush never enforced them, never used America's leverage to offer rewards and penalties to Iraqi successes and failures. And now that U.S. troops are pulling out (again, at Iraq's insistence and by international law), our leverage is diminishing still further.
In the latest edition of the Brookings Institution's Iraq Index: Tracking Variables of Reconstruction & Security in Post-Saddam Iraq, dated Aug. 24, Michael O'Hanlon and Ian Livingston write:
The … impasse over the March 2010 parliamentary elections, especially the dispute over barring some 500 candidates (mostly Sunni) from running in that process, has not only jeopardized Iraq's future political progress, but partially reversed recent accomplishments … [and has resulted in] backsliding on several key matters.
The Iraqi "surge," which Bush ordered in 2007 (and which Obama is now trying to emulate in Afghanistan), reduced the violence in Iraq and did what its architect, Gen. David Petraeus, hoped it would do: create a relatively secure space in which Iraq's elites could settle their disputes through politics instead of civil war. The problem is that Iraq's elites haven't taken advantage of the space—haven't settled their disputes—and it's unclear whether they will manage the feat in the near future.
Much as the surge and—at least as important—the counterinsurgency strategy deserve credit for the creation of this secure space, there were other factors at play as well: the Sunnis' own rejection of foreign jihadists the ethnic cleansing of once-mixed districts; the erection of concrete barriers in the middle of large cities, such as Baghdad, to prevent hostile sects from mixing; and the fact that many Iraqis, including some of the most talented (technocrats, doctors, merchants, and so forth), have simply fled their homes—2.7 million to other towns in Iraq and another 2 million to other countries. (Fewer than 5 percent of them have returned.)
There are hopeful signs, too: a restoration of services, in some cases to prewar levels; a rise in national income; the proliferation of cell phones, satellites, and computers; and an improvement in the quantity, quality, and (judging from local polls) the trustworthiness of the Iraqi military.
Still, as Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said earlier today in a blunter speech, to the American Legion:
I am not saying that all is, or necessarily will be, well in Iraq. … Sectarian tensions remain a fact of life. Al-Qaida in Iraq is beaten, but not gone. This is not a time for premature victory parades or self-congratulations, even as we reflect with pride on what our troops and their Iraqi partners have accomplished. We still have a job to do and responsibilities there.
Obama did make a similar point in tonight's speech, though more brightly. "Iraq has the opportunity to embrace a new destiny," he said, "even though many challenges remain."
What are these challenges, and what is this destiny? What is the job we still have to do, and what are our responsibilities there? These are the questions President Obama still has to answer.

Roots and Wings
Rachel Thomas
Antique glass, acid etched, sandblasted, painted and silverstained. Aim for the moon and you"ll hit the top of the tree". Roots and Wings - confidence - to flourish - innocence - vulnerability - fragility. The leaping flying children, as from Peter Pan, suggests innocence, joy and adventure. The owl hunts in silence in the shadows. I am happy persuing ideas rooted inmy training as a childrens book illustrator. Conservation, (stained glass), is my passion and I believe that glass design today is still a wonderful and relevant medium in which to tell stories and convey messages. I have barely scratched the surface.

|Marty is a painfully shy bachelor who feels trapped in a pointless life of family squabbles. When he finds love, he also finds the strength to break out of what he feels is a meaningless existence. A sensitive and poignant film from the writer of "Altered States." Remake of a TV version that originally aired in 1953. Notable for Borgnine's sensitive portrayal, one of his last quality jobs before sinking into the B-movie sludge pit.

Ingenious Jigs: Flexible Fence Fixture
This accessory will rise to the occasion to make cuts safer and easier.
By Nick Engler
Pages: 28-30
From the June 2004 issue #141
Buy this issue now
Now and again you may have to turn a board on its edge to work it – cutting a groove, drilling a series of holes in the edge, sawing a raised panel, resawing and so on.
During these operations, a tall fence provides better control than the short fence that accompanies most power tools. However, if the fence is too tall, it actually can hinder your work as much as it helps, restricting access to the workpiece and getting in the way of the machinery. (This is especially true when you're resawing on the band saw – if the fence is taller than the board you're cutting, you can't position the machine's upper blade guide properly.)

This 32- or 33-credit program is designed especially for individuals looking to combine their academic and professional experience in the areas of criminal justice, social justice, and/or community justice in a way that suits their career plans. These individuals already have the skills needed to study and lead, and have proven themselves in their chosen fields.
This program provides students with the knowledge and skills to understand and assess organizations and evidence-based policies for the purpose of contributing to the development of a more effective, efficient, and innovative criminal justice system. The program also provides students with applied learning, the ability to pursue further education at the doctoral level, and an excellent opportunity for networking with other criminal justice professionals.
Students will complete the program over 20 months, taking two courses per semester for five consecutive semesters. The program runs on the first Thursday, Friday, and Saturday of each month from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
For more information please see the UFV Academic Calendar
Please call 604-854-4579 or email
"All the professors at UFV provided assistance throughout the program, helping us determine how to approach our project, how to research questions, and where to take our ideas."
Everyone brought different experiences to the table and we all learned from each other. There were lots of mid-career individuals, two or three with as much experience as myself, and some students fresh out of their bachelor's program. The professors have been great and the learning environment offered at UFV is exceptional.
The most valuable thing I took away from the program was the opportunity to network with people that I may not have crossed paths with if it had not been for this specific experience.

chapter 25 has been translated....
ah....i see so because he haven't kiss shiraishi yet so the power haven't been overwritten from kissing odagiri before that's why the love power still in yamada...
but now he already kiss shiraishi thanks to the experiment the power is gone and he have to kiss odagiri again to get the power back to deactivate the love effect that affecting the other 2
but afterward the aftereffect of the kiss would make odagiri fall in love again with yamada and im damn sure odagiri dont want to be kiss by yamada again to remove the effect..or at least ask for something in return now she has fall in love with yamada for real...
and i guess most likely the glasses girl is the third witch? or maybe someone who know about some info?

Like he can tell Yamada would have been better off after being stabbed in the back -_-
It's sad but that romance plot was so damn cliche that it was painful to read. Prediction time; Nene will start developing feelings for yamada. Backstabber will somehow reveal the magic wore off ages ago and he actually really likes Nene for real. Then the two will end up together (happily?) ever after

I am greatly amused at how Shiraishi always leaves Yamada in a pinch at just about the right time (wrong time for Yamada himself)
Poor guy's absence was not even noticed by the rest of the group whilst they were busy enjoying themselves.

Well I just caught up to the last chapter and I am extremely interested again.
Miyabi and Miramuya actually like being in love is harlious. As long as its something supernatural, they love it O_o
I was just on another forum in a thread guessing about what the other witch abilties might be. As I was putting up my list of abilities, I realized something. Infact, I think I just worked out what Meikos ability is. So I am going to lock it in eddie, but I will put it in a spoiler because I am confident I am right. My reasons fit.
Spoiler for My guess at Meikos ability:

meiko's power most likely "sensory transfer" and amplify... remember when yamada she nosebleed hit by the teacher normaly that dont happen by just being hit... so most likely she hope to copy yamada's answer by copying his sensory input, in this case his eyes to take a peek on his answer.. what do you guys think?
the reason she said what might happen dont be surprised is possibly there might be a side effect to the victim as well, examp. if the hearing is taken, the victim hearing will be impaired a bit until the spell removed
