Kid Fonque is South Africa's most consistently excellent and cleverly eclectic DJ, as at ease spinning dope downtempo and tech-house as he is dropping dubstep and drum 'n' bass.
His wide-ranging taste and attention to quality have lead to him compiling four mix-CDs (including a Sonar Kollektiv comp) and landing slots alongside Jazzanova, DJ Krush, Fink, Luke Solomon, Mr. Scruff, Rainer Truby, Gilles Peterson, Forss, Metro Area, Ame, Aaron Jerome and many more.
He describes his style as "soulful, jazzy, freestyle, fresh and always unpredictable," but it's these last two adjective that best sum up his skills – just check the sets on his Mixcloud page, which veer from house and garage to folk and wonky.
The latest issue from Kid Fonque's bright mind and brilliant hands is "a mix of South African underground music with a touch of International flair" titled Kid Loves South African Beatz, and it features some of the coolest producers plying their trade in SA at the moment, including (the recently-covered on Generation Bass) Felix Laband, The Layders, Tumi, Blackwhole and a whole bunch more equally brilliant beat practitioners.
Bonus: An ace and classic slab of jazzy hip-hop from Tumi And The Volume (who have members from both Mozambique and South Africa in their midst).

Hello Everyone,
The purpose of the laboratory report write-up exercise is to learn how to write like a scientist. Colby Department of Chemistry's goal is for each student to graduate from Colby College as a Chemist, with all the tools you need to succeed in your field of study. You need to learn how to effectively convey information in a thorough and concise manner by presenting the significance of your data in an attractive and informative method.
There are now two links available for you to use to help you write your laboratory reports and discussions
The ACS author guidelines pdf instruct you on the proper format for presenting all data and text. Some of the information may not apply to you; look at the headings to distinguish which tool will be most helpful to you in writing your report. Specifically, look at the guidelines for presenting charts, graphs, molecules and other such figures that pertain to the laboratory discussion, as well as how to properly cite references and an outline of what should be reported and discussed in each section of the laboratory report.
The second link in an example paper concerning the methods of molecular modeling. The information may be a bit advance for some of you, do not get frustrated if you do not understand the paper in full context, however you should still read the paper and use it to give you a visual idea of how to discuss your result values and their significance, as well as present data and figures accordingly.
145 Laboratory: Here are a few comments to help you write your lab discussion. 1.) All lab discussions should include name, date, lab section, and a title.
2.) Make sure to begin the discussion with a clear and concise objective. 3.) Make sure to write in complete sentences and check for punctuation as well as grammar errors. Colby has a writing help center located in the Farnham building if you need any assitance. 4.) Include the significance of the laboratory questions and data, do not just answer the questions.
Example, if the bond order designated by WebMO is different than the qualitative predicted Bond order, then you ought to explain your reasoning for this discrepancy. 5.) References for literature values, diagrams, bond lengths, (anything that needs referencing) needs to be cited, and in proper notation. At the end of laboratory 3, you will find a literature cited section. You can use these two references in your discussion or you can use them as a template format on how to properly cite a literature reference.
Lab 3 is posted ... you will have a pre-lab quiz! Please read the lab handout thoroughly before coming to lab.
The third lab assignment will be posted very shortly ... our apologies. We're actually trying out a new molecular orbital modelling program and we're still ironing out the issues. It will be posted one way or another by the end of the day on Friday.
I have increased the quantity of assigned problems for the second homework assignment and alterred the due date until next Friday (October 2nd). This is a MUCH more substantial problem set, so please do not wait until the last minute to complete it.
I'm going to wait a bit before I assign Homework Assignment two. I'm goint to be lecturing kind of randomly relative to the book's 6th, 7th, and 8th chapters. Your second homework will not be due next Friday, but sometime the following week. Have a nice weekend!
Reading assignments, thought questions, and reminders are posted regularly on that link. You are responsible for keeping track of it.
Hello Everyone,
Just as a reminder, make sure to fill out your lab notebook properly before coming to lab. There is an example format how to fill out a lab notebook in your laboratory syllabus, plus for your personal visual tool, I have made an example format available for you on the wiki lab webpage. Just click on the link to view it. Most of you are continuing on with research, you will need to know how to maintain and organize your lab notebook.
The purpose of a laboratory notebook:
1.) To replicate the experiment if need be. In order to do this, the lab notebook needs to be organized and have enough information and data that someone can just pick up your lab notebook and do the experiment.
2.) Second, if you have any errors with your data, or need to reference information for later use, having all of that in your lab notebook is a hard copy for you to refer, especially to check for inaccuracies in the data and calculations.
3.) The lab notebook is a tool that will help you prepare for an experiment before doing it. You can organize data, charts, tables, look up formulas, equations, chemical health concerns, etc. In other words, the lab notebook helps you be prepared.
Hi everyone, the second lab is posted. Please note that you will have an in-lab quiz rather than a hand-in prelab assignment. This will be a very brief quiz that will require you to have read the lab handout and have a good understanding of the day's procedure. For this week, you will also be quized on chemical nomenclature. Please download the common ion worksheet and memorize. The reading assignment from chapter 2 will help in this regard.
Hey, for those of you who don't have an access code for MasteringChemistry because the bookstore is out of codes, go to the bookstore and get a refund (if you've paid for the code you don't have) and buy a code directly from the MasteringChemistry website . Please let me know ASAP if there are any further problems.
Hello Everyone, I have been receiving many of your Pre-laboratory assignments that are not properly formatted. This is not following the American Chemical Society (ACS) format. The Assignment clearly states one of the features you will be using Excel for this semester is: "Making charts for presenting data, including the formatting of charts according to the standards established by the ACS Style Guide." Please refer to the Appendix I and II on how to make a chart, or for a visual representation, look at how the charts and tables were presented to you in Laboratory Assignment 1. Many of you are submitting a chart that has no title, no borders, the widths have not been adjusted, there is no name on the page, no title on the document...etc. Think about it for just a moment, if I were to print out a chart that has only values and units would you know what experiment the chart was pertaining to? Would you know if it was a true experiment or a pre-laboratory assignment? That is why it is important to have title references to indicate what the document is concerning. Your name is very important, especially for all lab assignments. I have about 30 students, to make sure your work gets graded, have a name on each and every assignment you turn into me.
Your Set-up should look something similar to: Pre-Laboratory Assignment 1: "Equations of Electronic Structure of Atoms: Using Excel to Calculate Wavelengths and Frequency" CH145L Fall 2009 Section (x)Tara Kraus Table 1: The following set of data relates the Apple iPhone frequency range using Excel to find the energy associated with one mole of Photons.
--Now place your properly formattedChart/Table here.
If you have any questions, call me, text me, email me, stop by my office tomorrow morning, talk to me in class, by no way should you feel that you are bothering me. I am here to help all of you. You can always email me your assignment early and ask me if it meets the proper format. I will gladly give you feedback. There should be no reason for you to not receive full credit on Pre-Lab1, however, if I receive am Excel document that is not formatted correctly, I WILL be deducting points.
Click on the Homework link to view the assignments. Please check out the grading rules too.
Hello Everyone!
Your first lab will either meet on Monday September 14th from 1pm to 4pm for Section A or Thursday September 17th from 1pm to 4pm for those of you in Section B.
Your first Laboratory Assignments are now available for download.
Pre-Lab1 is due via email to me at <email@example.com.> before coming to lab. That means, Section A, is due no later than 12:30 on Monday September 14th, and Section B no later than 12:30 by September 17th. I will send you a confirmation email upon receiving your assignment. If you do not receive a confirmation email from me, you will need to re-send the assignment.
A Reminder:
Bring with you to your lab section, Laboratory Assignment 1, your chemistry lab notebook to record all data collected and methods with the first Pre-Lab completed and already attached to it, and a pen. For your laboratory notebook, you are to purchase a composition book. Refer to your lab syllabus for instructions on how to properly set-up a laboratory notebook.
We ask that everyone follow the lab rules and safety. All long hair is to be tied back, wear sensible clothing: no open toed shoes or sandals are allowed. Of course, no food, gum or drink in the lab area, but feel free to leave a bottle of water outside the lab with your backpacks and other personal belongings as it poses a safety concern to have them in laboratory area.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
See you in Lab!
Welcome to Colby (or welcome back to Colby)! We get started tomorrow morning for CH145 at 10 AM in Arey 5. There is no need to bring your textbook, just a notebook and something to write with. See you then!

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a dispute about how the state of Oregon taxes heavy trucks, effectively preserving a law that many interstate truckers feel is discriminatory.
"This confirms that it's a state matter and the state has handled (truck taxation) evenhandedly," Stephanie Soden, a spokeswoman for Oregon Attorney General Hardy Myers, told The Associated Press.
Oregon is one of the few states to charge a weight mile tax, which is figured on a per-mile basis. For trucks weighing 78,001 to 80,000 pounds, the tax is 13 cents per mile.
According to The AP, Department of Transportation officials in the state believe heavier trucks inflict more damage on the state's roadways, and should therefore pay the highest amounts in taxes.
However, Oregon's law allows intrastate haulers to pay a flat tax fee, while interstate haulers pay based on weight and distance.
State officials claim the local haulers take shorter trips and use private and lesser-used roads more frequently, and cannot be taxed equivalently without the flat tax exception in place.
However, the American Trucking Association had challenged the law in court, arguing that it discriminates against interstate truckers by giving breaks to local wood, sand and gravel haulers, according to The AP.
However, the lower court ruled there was no evidence of unfairness against interstate haulers. Had the decision gone the other way, truckers would've received refunds amounting to as much as $60 million, The AP reported.

At least 50% of the development time is typically spent on figuring out the system in order to figure out what to do next. In other words, software engineering is primarily a decision making business. Add to that the fact that often systems contain millions of lines of code and even more data, and you get an environment in which decisions have to be made quickly about lots of ever moving data. How do you approach this challenge effectively?
Developers are data scientists. Or at least, they should be.
Yet, too often, developers drill into the see of data manually with only rudimentary tool support. Yes, rudimentary. The syntax highlighting and basic code navigation are nice, but they only count when looking into fine details. This approach does not scale for understanding larger pieces and it should not perpetuate.
This might sound as if it is not for everyone, but consider this: when a developer sets out to figure out something in a database with million rows, she will write a query first; yet, when the same developer sets out to figure out something in a system with a million lines of code, she will start reading. Why are these similar problems approached so differently: one time tool-based and one time through manual inspection? And if reading is such a great tool, why do we even consider queries at all? The root problem does not come from the basic skills. They exist already. The main problem is the perception of what software engineering is, and of what engineering tools should be made of.
We go through live examples of how software engineering decisions can be made quickly and accurately by building custom analysis tools that enable browsing, visualizing or measuring code and data. Once this door is open you will notice how software development changes. Dramatically.
In this course, you will get to create such custom analyses hands-on using Moose - a uniform and compact platform for creating new analyses. First, you will see how cool assessing systems can be. Second, seeing how diverse use cases can be supported by a small set of tools will challenge the default reflex of relying only on code reading.
Moose is a cool open-source platform for software and data analysis. Why cool? Because it lets you build all sorts of custom analyses very fast. Often minutes fast. Think of it as R with an highly interactive environment that is also specialized for software systems.
Let's pick a couple of examples. Here is how you find all classes annotated with @Service that are being called from classes that have 'ui' in the qualified name:
model allClasses select: [:each | (each isAnnotatedWith: 'Service') and: [ each clientTypes anySatisfy: [:c | '*ui*' match: c mooseName ]]]
And here is how you visualize the dependencies between a group of methods:
view nodes: methods. view edges connectFromAll: #clientMethods. view layout force
Rather concise. Combine this with a live environment and you can change the way you perceive legacy code.
The course is dedicated to software engineers and architects that want to experience hands-on a different way of reasoning about software systems.

text: At the time of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the Mufti of Rwanda, the most respected Muslim leader in the country, issued a fatwa forbidding Muslims from participating in the killing of the Tutsi. As the country became a slaughterhouse, mosques became places of refuge where Muslims and Christians, Hutus and Tutsis came together to protect each other. KINYARWANDA is based on true accounts from survivors who took refuge at the Grand Mosque of Kigali and the madrassa of Nyanza. It recounts how the Imams opened the doors of the mosques to give refuge to the Tutsi and those Hutu who refused to participate in the killing.Many, if not most people who now know of Rwanda - associate it with that horrific period in 1994. Or associate it with the earlier heart-wrenching movie on the genocide: Hotel Rwanda. Of all Eastern African countries, I have this very high esteem for Rwanda. Especially now. In the last sixteen years, since the genocide - Rwanda has dramatically very much changed. Thanks to its gifted leaders and its very resilient people. Not only are mountain gorillas being very well protected and their numbers steadily increasing through the years. Not only is Kigali, its very scenic capital city, the cleanest, safest and most orderly urban center in the region - but, the whole country is being cleaned up. One reporter, John Rash, who recently visited the country couldn't help stating: Rwanda is the cleanest country I've ever seen. Rwanda, today, is also the least corrupt and the fastest growing country in Eastern Africa. In the region, Rwanda, too, is the country where, today, Islam is growing fastest.

Architecture firm Lord, Aeck & Sargent just completed their renovation of the University of Michigan's Memorial Phoenix Laboratory, together with a LEED-certified addition. The project features innovative green building strategies that utilize passive design principles and maximize natural lighting.
The project includes the renovation of the Michigan Phoenix Laboratory, built in 1955 as a living memorial to men and women who lost their lives in the World War II, and a new addition which houses the University of Michigan Energy Institute (UMEI). After the world's first nuclear reactor used for research of the beneficial potentials of atomic energy, located in the vicinity of the MMPL, was decommissioned a decade ago, the university decided to modify the building to facilitate a broader range of energy research.
The $11.1 million project started with renovating the building's third floor. Phase 1 included an upgrade of the building's mechanical and electrical infrastructure, restoration of the masonry exterior and replacement of the exterior windows. A new program was then introduced, along with two large chemistry labs. Service carriers, benches, cabinetry and work surfaces are mobile and can be reconfigured to facilitate different uses. With the exterior wall almost 100 percent glazed, the labs receive an abundance of natural light.
As for the UMEI addition, the architects introduced an overhang and a rounded glass curtain wall to a two story exposed steel structure, while a horizontal fritted glass sunscreen regulates the amount of natural light entering the upper floor. The 10,161-square-foot addition comprises three new conference rooms, support spaces and a common area. A solar sundial located in the lobby tells the time of day and allows one to compare the time difference to other major cities throughout the world.

Looking to add a little bit of leafy green ambiance to your house? Maybe your neighbors are willing to share samples of their thriving gardens? Rootcup is an ingeniously simple little gadget to help prepare plant cuttings for repotting. Michael Good, its creator and a former Apple engineer who did design work on the iPhone 5, sees it as a chance to help green the world one home at a time.
The durable and recyclable little cup suspends a plant cutting in water while it sprouts roots, then makes the transfer into a pot for planting simple. And the manufacturing process offers its own contribution to the community. In a recent Treehugger interview, Good states, "I like local manufacturing, so I committed to assembling rootcup where I live, San Francisco. Rootcup is assembled at a rehabilitation workshop that hires people who were previously unemployable due to disability."
Interested in bringing a little bit of the great outdoors into your home? Learn more about the Rootcup (or order your very own) at their website, http://rootcup.com.

So. Let's talk about this outfit. It's matchy-matchy, which I don't like. And it's one of those outfits that the majority of people would label as cute, but in fashion blogger world, we label as "everyday" or typical. So I'm a bit indifferent about it. I like it, but am more posting it out of the feeling of needing a Chels Wears post, not that I'm really in love with it or anything. I wore this last night on my "date" with MJ...and my brother. We went to Cheddar's in Erie. Which is poorly named for how nice it actually looks inside. I was highly misled.
MJ was in town for an admissions fair and I certainly didn't want to pass up the opportunity to see him, but since I've also be fighting the good fight against this little cold, I didn't really feel like getting dressed up. This is what happens when you know you're going to see your boyfriend of four years and you both are just going to stuff your faces and then go home. I have to admit that I'm seeing a lot less of MJ then what I expected when I first moved and that was apparent after being so excited to see him all week and then realizing we only got to spend like an hour together. We are officially back to long distance when an hour of his time is the best part of my week. Next month we'll get some more quality time in, my friends (Hannah and Wade) are getting married and we're making a whole weekend out of it. So while that's a month away, my bridesmaid dress is cute, so that'll make up for him seeing me in such a casual outfit last night haha

Too many creeps in the world
My father thought there were enough creeps in the world, so he aimed at not adding more to the tally as his 8 children left home to meet the world. The dictionary calls creep a slang term and describes a creep as An annoyingly unpleasant or repulsive person. I don't recall my father ever spelling out a definition of a creep for us, but we certainly all understood exactly what he meant.
- Creeps lie.
- Creeps take what isn't theirs.
- Creeps speak disrespectfully.
- Creeps take the easy way out.
- Creeps mooch rather than work.
- Creeps laugh at others misfortune.
- Creeps walk away when others need help.
- Creeps are an embarrassment to their family.
That's a short list, but I think you can get the idea. My father had a standard that he used to raise his family. Until we hopefully meet in our next life, I won't ever know for certain where he came up with his standard. He did believe strongly in God and we did go to church, but we were never beaten over the head with the Bible to correct our behavior. My father simply wasn't a creep and he just lived an example life for us.
Today, as I read the Bible looking for help as a parent, I keep running into examples of just how right on my father was in his example life and his teachings. Could I accept a lesson in truth from a liar? Would I grow up respectful of others, if my dad had been disrespectful to others?
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. For you know that we dealt with each of you as a father deals with his own children, encouraging, comforting and urging you to live lives worthy of God, who calls you into his kingdom and glory.
(1 Thessalonians 2:10-12 NIV)
Perhaps as a parent, I am on a parallel path with my father, just offset by 40 years? I owe a great debt to both God and my father. I will continue to reflect on both of their examples, as I try and not add my sons to the list of creeps in the world.

Here's the second terracotta orchid pot that I glazed. For this one, I decided to use a rabbit, because I wanted to use the brown slip. The texture on the rim of the pot is also due to the slip.
Although the green (It looks green on white clay) glaze I used for the rim and saucer was also supposed to have crystallization, I can't see any here. I don't know if that's because of a bad batch of glaze, or because the crystals are all clumped in the bottom and wouldn't come up (though it didn't seem like that when I stirred) or because the slow cool wasn't slow enough. I'm not disappointed. I've decided I don't like the crystallization. It obscures the texture of the clay body.

In India, the non-alcoholic Beverages market is $5 million which might not beat the health drink market ($300 million) but pretty decent to deep in. As revealed in the survey, the beverages consumption is steadily raising.
Recently, was reading an article at Open magazine which claims that the success of Sprite, a non alcoholic fizzy drink (which has beaten home grown Thumbs Up and mega brands like Coke) is due to its 'cool and straight forward non fizzy advertisements'! the article states "All said, Sprite's success bears an edge of differentiation that's reckless no less than competitive".
Let's cut the crap! Sprite is selling faster than any other brands due to it's quality of being a great mixer for Vodka. This alcoholic beverage is growing in India at the rate of 25% every year! Vodka is particularly popular among the youth and ladies as it doesn't smell (like whisky) or gives a tummy (as Beers do). Also, vodka never gives a kick as any other brown drinks (hence, it's difficult for the parents to guess what happened in a 'house party'). DIvansh Burman, a consultant in the Indian retail liqueur industry stated "in my opinion, gender flexibility has a lot to do with this increased consumption. Studies show more women prefer vodka over men and with Indian women getting a voice over booming economy, the raise in vodka sales seems real". While interviewing few peer leaders the INgene team found that Vodka mixing itself is a 'cool' way to attract peers. Akash (21) jovially said "oh ya, mix gets me fix!"... later, we found that 'fix' means dates.
The transparent sweet fizzy Sprite is the best companion for transparent Vidka. In every office party, college fest, all girl's meet, this mix works fabulous. It's competitor Mountain dew has much less rack presence throughout the country. This mix also allows to experiment with the drink as DIY (Chilli vodka, Lime mix, Mint vodka and so on).
Hence, though the ad/ media agencies are trying hard to prove their worth through advertisement, the reality is the powerful 'blending capability' and rack presence of this otherwise non benevolent drink that's making it fly high in Indian subcontinent.
Rest is bakwas, anyway.

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump began his Thursday-night charity event by touting all of the people —including himself — who wrote big checks for it.
Trump announced that he would suddenly host a fundraiser for veterans as an alternative to going to the Fox News primary debate.
Trump boycotted the event after repeatedly complaining about Fox host Megyn Kelly, one of the moderators at the debate, as well as the network overall.
"First, we have to talk about people that made a lot of money," Trump began. "They wouldn't have made a lot of money, they wouldn't even be here, if it weren't for the vets and our great military."
"Carl Icahn gave $500,000. One quick phone call," Trump said, referring to his fellow billionaire whose support he frequently touts on the campaign trail.
He continued:
Richard LeFrak, a great builder in New York, gave $100,000. Donald Trump, another great builder in New York — now a politician, I can't stand this, a politician, I don't want to be called a politician, all talk, no action, I refuse to be called a politician — Donald Trump gave $1 million.
Trump then ticked off a number of other people who wrote big checks, which he said amounted to more than $5 million.

Many people have this weird notion that sunglasses are to be used only when the sun is bright and can be done without on cloudy or shady days.
NO ABSOLUTELY NOT !!! The sunglasses shield you not only through the visible(the VIBGYOR part) and tactile(the infrared part) parts of the light spectrum but also from the invisible and the most harmful part of sunlight i.e. the Ultraviolet (or UV) spectrum which cause harm to your retina and can also cause cancer on prolonged exposure.
Now what is the best thing about sunglasses? Not only do they serve the very important purpose of cooling and protecting your eyes from those harmful rays,they have also evolved as fashion accessories. Use them to enhance your facial features or use them as a hairband, they look cool both ways!! And another plus point is,they effectively cover those dark circles that you are trying so hard to hide from the world!
So when Blogadda came with this fantabulous offer,I checked out some sunglasses at gkboptical.com . They have a huge range of sunglasses from a price bracket of Rs.500 to over Rs.30000 with huge discounts upto 30%. They deliver free in India for all glasses above Rs.500 and worldwide at a very minimal shipping charge. The range of sunglasses is huge with multiple world renowned brands like RayBan, Bvlgari, Oakley, Prada, Versace, DKNY, Adidas, Puma, D&G and many others.Many different variants like Aviators,Wayfarers,Cat eyed, Polaroids, colored glasses are also available. Do checkout their website for more.
Here are the two I selected. I tried to select two very different ones for different looks.
The Gaga -
Lady Gaga was the first person who popped in my mind, the very moment I saw these Cat eye shaped sunglasses. With a pinkish tinge to the glasses and the pink detailing on the frame,this one was an instant favorite.
I would pair it with a summer dress with floral print / nautical stripes and a pair of flat calf length gladiators. Come summer!! Ah they remind me of an escapade to the beaches.
Animal prints are a rage now. I wouldn't dare wearing an animal print top or an animal print denim but these almost cheetah printed sunglasses from Ray Ban are a great option for experimenting.
I would pair it with a crisp white shirt, dark blue denims, nude pumps and a similar animal print clutch or nail art. The more daring ones can opt for similar printed pumps instead of the nude ones and minus the nailart and animal printed clutch. The trick is not to overdo it and not to mix up the prints.
Did you like the two looks I suggested?? Do you have something different in mind?? What are the ones you liked the best from their collections?? And what is your favorite style of sunglasses?? Mine are Jackie O's. Do tell me in the comments sections.
Till we see again!!

EU Reaches Data 'Understanding' on US-Bound Air Passengers
BRUSSELS ~ The European Union has reached an "understanding" on how to transfer personal information about passengers flying to the United States for use in Washington's "war on terror," EU officials said.
The agreement, when endorsed next month, would provide the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) with 19 categories of data about air travelers that it could keep for 15 years and share with other law enforcement agencies.
It would end more than a year of transatlantic legal wrangling over information that could be taken from tens of thousands of passengers each day, a process that has raised deep privacy concerns in Europe.
At a meeting in Brussels, EU ambassadors reached "basic political understanding on substance" of the passenger name record (PNR) agreement, the EU's Germany presidency said.
It said that the accord must be reviewed by certain national parliaments in the 27-member Union before being officially endorsed, possibly on July 10, after unidentified "reservations" were raised.
"Time is needed for examination in capitals and national parliaments," a EU official confirmed, on condition of anonymity.
The accord was built on a deal made last week between EU Justice Commissioner Franco Frattini, German Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, for the EU presidency, and US Homeland Security chief Michael Chertoff.
Schaeuble defended the US data collection system and said Europe should try to develop its own.
"It would be completely irresponsible not to use this information," he said.
Under an interim agreement, which expires at the end of July, the DHS can obtain access to information about EU citizens flying to the United States for use in its fight against terrorism.
Thirty-four pieces of data, including credit card and passport details, email addresses and travel itinerary, can be withdrawn by the department and shared with some other agencies under certain conditions.
The new agreement would see the department collect 19 categories of information collected, according to a text of the agreement.
But to the untrained eye, these appear to cover most of the original 34 pieces of data and could even involve more information than currently used.
"It's a bit of a disguise," an EU diplomat acknowledged.
The US department would be able to retain the information for 15 years – in an "active database" for the first seven and "dormant status for the last eight – instead of three-and-a-half currently.
In a letter annexed to the text, the DHS commits to provide "PNR data only to other domestic government authorities with law enforcement, public security of counterterrorism functions."
The data would be used "in support of counterterrorism, transnational crime and public security related cases (including threats, flights, individuals and routes of concern) they are examining or investigating …"
After seeing a draft of the agreement, European Data Protection Supervisor Peter Hustinx wrote to Schauble to express concern about several parts of it.
"I have serious doubts whether the outcome of these negotiations will be fully compatible with European fundamental rights," he said in the letter.
"Data on EU citizens will be readily accessible to a broad range of US agencies and there is no limitation to what US authorities are allowed to do with the data," he said.Filed under: Travel & Culture

Join Maxim Jago for an in-depth discussion in this video Adding clips to a sequence, part of Learning Premiere Pro CS6.
Once you have a sequence, you're ready to start editing some clips into it. And there are so many ways of doing this. Essentially they're all achieving the same thing. You're going to locate a clip in time and space. On the Timeline here, I've got a sequence open. It's called First Sequence. It's in my Bin here in the Project panel called Sequences. And I'm ready for some media. I'm going to look at some stuff and I'm going to put it on the Timeline. I'm talking about time and space. By time, I mean, from left to right in the Timeline panel, when is it going to be, and in space I mean which track is it going to go on. I can choose whether my video is going to go on to any of the video tracks I have. And in many cases, it's really just a question of dragging and dropping and you're, you're done.
So, let's have a look at some of the ways we can do this. I'm opening up one of my bins here, and I'm going to pick a shot to put in. Let's have this mid shot. Now, if I double-click on this, I can view the contents of it. And I can see right away that this clip has no audio because the little Audio icon underneath the monitor is grey. I can't do anything with it. And also, on the Timeline, I've got the Source Track buttons here telling me which tracks are available. I've got video but no audio. So this is just video only.
And there's a quick way of applying content to a sequence. You can just Drag and Drop straight from the Bin. Now, I'm getting a warning here which is telling me this clip does not match the Sequences Settings. Change sequence to match clip settings? What this is telling me is that the way my sequence is configured is such that for this video clip to play back, Premiere Pro is going to have to do some work. It's going to have to convert the video to match my Sequence Settings.
Do I want to change the sequence or do I want to keep it as it is? Now, if you are mixing and matching media, you're going to just have to make your own decision about this. Maybe you've chosen correctly in the first place, maybe you haven't. I'm going to say yes, change the settings. And now I know that my sequence is going to play this back perfectly as it is. We just zoom out a little bit as well on this navigator. In this case, I've dragged my video on to the video one track. I could just as easily drag it onto video two or onto video three, and the higher the video track, the more in front it is. So, of course, I'm just repeating the same clip again and again. If I zoom out a little bit more, drag over a bit, and find some media that has audio.
And let's take this double identity stuff, for example. Again, I can Drag and Drop,. And when I do, Premiere Pro is going to aim to put the audio for the clip in line and connect it to the video and on a track with the same number. So, here I've got Video 1 and Audio 1. If I put this up on Video 2, it goes onto Audio 2, Video 3, Audio 3, and so on. If I just re-size the Timeline a bit, you'll see that above the tracks and below them, there's this unmarked gray area, which looks useless but isn't.
If I want to add a clip to a track that doesn't exist yet, or if I try to add audio that has a different format to the tracks that I have, I've got to have mono, stereo, or 5:1 and so on audio tracks. If I try to put something on the Timeline that's not supported by the existing tracks, I can just drag it to this unmarked area. And Premiere Pro will automatically add the tracks I need. So here, if I drag this up to Video 4, there is no Video 4 yet. But if I let go, Premiere Pro is automatically going to add those tracks for me. I've not got a fourth video track and a fourth audio track. This is lovely because as you're staggering your way through Premiere Pro, first getting to know it.
It means you don't need to think quite as much. You, you'll be pretty confident that Premiere Pro is going to allow you to do what you want to do. And there's an even bigger way of doing the same thing. A moment ago, I put a clip into the Timeline. But because the sequence settings didn't match, Premiere Pro offered to change the settings. Let's get this glove compartment shot. If I look at this, he goes, and somebody searching a glove compartment. If I drag this shot onto the New Item button, and this is where you would go to make a new sequence. If I bring this up, you get the regular New Sequence dialog box, and you can choose your own presets, and so on. That's the manual way.
But if I drag this button directly onto the New Sequence button, suddenly I get a sequence containing that clip. And it will automatically match the settings for the clip. So, here is my new sequence. I'll call this Matched Sequence so you can look at this. And I'll drag that into my Sequences Bin just to be tidy. This means, if you aren't too confident about video formats, and resolutions, and pixel aspect ratios, and compression, and file types, and audio tracks, and all of that kind of stuff. If you really just want to get started and get editing with Premiere Pro, this is a perfectly legitimate way to create a new sequence. It's probably how I would do it.
There are a couple of exceptional circumstances where you're going to want the manual control to define your sequence settings. But this way, you know it's going to work. So, you just Drag and Drop. In fact, if I want to, I can drag and drop a whole bunch of clips. Let's just select Shift, select some more. Just holding down the Shift key and clicking on the last item on the list, drag that on to the New Item button. There you go. I've now got a sequence with all of those clips in it, and it matches the settings for that media. Let's call this one, Matching Multiple Clips, okay? And now here's the thing.
I want to see my Sequences Bin. I can't see it because it's, the window's too tall, and I don't want to re-size the interface. So, if I press the Tilde key, it's the one on your keyboard with a kind of a backwards apostrophe on it. Now, where it is varies? On mine, it's in the top left. If I press this key with the mouse over this panel, it's going to go full screen temporarily. And I'll just grab this and put it in the Sequences Bin. And then, press the button again to go back out at full screen. It's a very useful shortcut. You can use it on all of the panels in the interface in Premiere Pro. Now, I can Drag an Drop multiple clips into the Timeline. An if I'm in Thumbnail View for example, if I hold down the Ctrl key an bring up this double identity bin, I can select a whole bunch of clips. I can choose to put them in different orders.
I can move them around and I can throw those into the Timeline as well. Let's just put these in here. That works, too. And I can also select a bunch of clips in my Project panel. And having selected them, click on this button down here Automate to Sequence. Now, I will go into all of the controls here, most of them will make sense to you as you look down. You've got the order that they're going to put into the Timeline. That's going to be either the order you clicked on them or the order they happen to be sorted. Do I want them sequentially, or if I've put markers on the Timeline, they can go where the markers are. You can hit the beat of the music that way.
Just add markers and then choose this option. Do I want to overlay on top of anything that's in the Timeline already or do I want to insert and push things out of the way? Do I want to have some overlap? How many frames of overlap do I want? And we're, if we're working in Tier C with 30 frames a second, so this would be one second. If we're working in Pal then it'd be 25. Of course, you can do lots of different frame rates these days but those are the standards. I can do frames or seconds. I can automatically have a default video and audio transition which is across this whole for video.
And an audio cross fade for audio, just to blend everything together. This is great for montages. And I can chose not to have the video and audio. But in this case, I'm going to say OK, and there are my clips all lined up. In fact, I've probably got the play head in the wrong place. Let me see. It's just gone over the top of what was there. Let me position the play head here and have another go. And there you go. And what I did just now is I accidentally left this play head right at the beginning of the Timeline. And as a consequence, I just laid those clips on top of the ones that were already there. In this case, not very visible because it's the same shots. But this a hazard, this a danger when you're editing. You could accidentally replace content and not know you've done it. So, go steady and observe what you're doing and make sure that the outcomes are what you expect.
As well as taking things straight from the bin, I can also open them up in the Source panel up here. And I can Drag and Drop from the Source panel, I can take just the video from the Source panel. Or just the audio from the Source panel, or I can use these two buttons. Now, in a nutshell, there are two ways that you can edit in Premiere Pro. You can either edit like film, where you're chopping things and seperating them and inserting new clips, or removing them and closing the gap. That would be like film style editing. Or if you like, like word processing with text rather than an old style typewriter on paper.
Or you've got, let's call it the Videotape style, where if you want to replace something, you just record over the top of it. In one case, things move around. In the other case, they don't. And these would be called, if you like, the Insert mode or the Overwrite mode for editing. And I'll show you what I mean. I'm going to put this shot down on the Timeline. And I'm going to zoom in a bit with the Plus key at the top of my keyboard. Plus and Minus keys will zoom in and out. Now, just move this over a bit and I'm going to hold down the Shift key to snap to the beginning of the clip on the Timeline. Using the Shift key on my keyboard. Now, I'm going to open up this draw search shot, and I can mark this with an In Mark, and an Out Mark to say the beginning and the end of the part that I want.
And now, look what happens if I choose these two different modes. First of all, look what happens when I override. So, I'm just going to lay this on top. There you go. If I move my play head out of the way a little bit, you can see this draw search shot has just laid over the top of the closing shot. Now visually, it's sometimes hard to spot, because the name of the clip will always be moved to wherever the beginning of it is. So, it still looks like we're looking at the left end of this closing shot, but we're not. If I undo with Z or Cmd + Z, just watch the length of this clip, you see it's extended now back to where it was before, overwrite rights over the top. I'm just going to undo.
Now, have a look what happens when I use the Insert option instead. And in particular, look where the end of this clip is on the Timeline. When I Insert, it pushes this clip out of the way. We would say further down the Timeline or later in the Timeline, I'll just undo so that you can see that again insert, it pushes it out of the way. Now essentially, these two modes for operating like film where everything is around or operating like videotape where it doesn't. These two modes apply to all of the things you can do on the Timeline.
Putting things in the Timeline, moving them around and taking things out, you've got those two modes of operation. There's no right or wrong, and you'll commonly find that towards the beginning of the edit, you're using the Insert mode. And towards the end of the edit, you're using the Overwrite mode to avoid changing the synchronization of things happening on the Timeline. To avoid changing the length of your Timeline. There are keyboard shortcuts for all of these things, of course. It's the comma, the Insert, and the Full Stop for overrides.
And that's adding clips to a sequence in Premiere Pro CS6.

St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton Saved Sandy's Sight
Monday, March 10 2014, Hamilton ON - Sandy Schweyer, a 55 year-old resident of east Hamilton, was like any other individual going for their annual check-up at the Optometrist; however she came out with news that changed her life. After receiving a Tonometry test, a comprehensive glaucoma exam (a test also known as the puff of air in your eye), it was then her doctor told her that she could have glaucoma and that she would need to see a specialist right away.
"For years, nothing with my eye sight had changed; no differences with my vision, no pain or pressure. If I had not received that test I wouldn't have known I had glaucoma," said Sandy Schweyer. "It was then that I was sent to the Hamilton Regional Eye Institute at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton's King Campus."
"Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness worldwide, yet 90% can be prevented," explained Dr. Enitan Sogbesan, Glaucoma Specialist at the Hamilton Regional Eye Institute at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton's King Campus. "Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damages the optic nerve and can destroy eyesight. Unfortunately, nearly half of those with glaucoma are not even aware that they have it."
Early detection, through education and regular and complete eye exams, is the key to protecting one's vision from damage caused by glaucoma.
In honour of Glaucoma Awareness Week (March 9-15), St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton is hosting a free education session for the community on March 12th. The session will provide information about glaucoma and how to protect your eyes.
"Dr. Sogbesan saved my sight - I am not exaggerating! After the eye drops no longer worked for me, I decided to have surgery at St. Joe's this past year and I am so grateful to be able to continue my life with clear vision," said Sandy Schweyer. "I tell people whenever I get the chance, always get your glaucoma test. This quick eye test is so important to our everyday life."
WHEN: Wednesday, March 12, 2014
6:30 – 8:00 p.m.
WHERE: Kemp Auditorium,
King Campus, 2757 King Street East, Hamilton
WHO: Dr. Enitan Sogbesan, Glaucoma Specialist

Seven noble families fight for control of the mythical land of Westeros. Political and sexual intrigue is pervasive. The dominant families are the Houses Stark, Lannister, and Baratheon. Robert Baratheon, King of Westeros, asks his old friend Eddard, Lord Stark, to serve as Hand of the King, or highest official. Secretly warned that the previous Hand was assassinated, Eddard accepts in order to investigate further. Meanwhile the Queen's family, the Lannisters, may be hatching a plot to take power. Across the sea, the last members of the previous and deposed ruling family, the Targaryens, are also scheming to regain the throne. The friction between these clans, and with the remaining great Houses Greyjoy, Tully, Arryn, and Tyrell, leads to full-scale war. All while a very ancient evil awakens in the farthest North. Amidst the war and political confusion, a neglected military order of misfits…

We caught up with Es Devlin, the designer of David McVicar's epic production of Berlioz's opera Les Troyens.
In this short film the designer talks in detail about the process of designing an opera and why model boxes are made for every main-stage production. She also explains why clear design is essential for the teams who build the sets and props as well as the director.
Es has designed several sets for operas at the Royal Opera House, including for McVicar's production of Salome. She also designs stage shows for the world's top pop and rock, working with the likes of Kanye West, Take That and Rihanna.
The attention of billions was on Es's work as the closing ceremony of London 2012, which she designed.
Discover more about the role of spectacle and epic design in the history of opera, in the exhibition Opera: Passion, Power and Politics, at the V&A Museum 30 September 2017–25 February 2018.

Low-budget B-movie with a predictable plot.
2/10 A noticeably low-budget B-movie that is challenging your suspension of disbelief.3 years ago
It was probably filmed in Ukraine (since it's cheaper, I guess) and all the billboards and labels in "Saratov" are actually not in Russian, which is extremely annoying. (Imagine a movie showing New York, where everything is written in German. The "Russian" guy in one of the scenes can't even pronounce the word "christian" properly). When the characters enter a typical panel-block house in "Saratov", we end up seeing your typical Brooklyn lobby. This series of flukes never ends.
The plot itself is predictable and spread out. The first 20 minutes of the film could easily be conveyed in 2 minutes. The rest of the movie maintains this ratio.
I had to turn it off after an hour.
1/10 This movie is no more that a crafty sermon.3 years ago
It hooks you in by appealing to your emotions and a flashback sequence, but doesn't deliver anything other than segues into Sunday school lessons and prayer time. I don't know the original story, so I cannot compare it to that. The worst part is that this movie seemed like it could have been so much better.
The score is distracting, incessant, and out-of-place; The writing is nothing original (some parts of it are ~2000 years old!); and you have ~30 year old actors playing 19 and 20 year old characters, which is also very distracting.
I was convinced to watch this movie by the reviews on IMDb.com, and you should really avoid making the same mistake I did.
How to ruin a good story on film
1/10 First of all, before I get attacked for this review, I want it known that I am LDS. That said, I'm not the type of LDS blindly submissive follower, I'm of the free-thinking variety and as such, this is not a critique of the story or religion. as a person who studied film production in a major university, however, I must say this is one of the most poorly made films I have ever seen in a very long time.3 years ago
The story is fine, if you can get past the mostly-awful acting, intrusive music, continuously shaky camera work - obviously in competition for the largest number of nauseated viewers since 99's 'The Blair Witch Project' and quite a bit of filler involving 1990's basketball references and ineffective waiting family scenes, you might actually enjoy it.
The film has its moments, two exactly, but the other 100 minutes are not worth watching for those brief moments of redemption. Had this film been made another way, it could have really been something, the basic story is good, the script, screenplay and film production isn't up to par, even considering other low-budget films.
Personally, I wish I would have just bought a ticket to see 'Saving Mr. Banks' or 'The Secret Life of Walter Mitty' again.
You need blind faith to endure this Rasputin v. Tintin mush
2/10 Be highly aware that the positive reviews written here are driven by the religion of the writers.3 years ago
The score is truly appalling, ill-fitted to the context, almost constant throughout the film and extremely irritating.
The narrative is cardboard cut-out in it's execution and as convincing in it's delivery as the fable that the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement, Joseph Smith, was directed to golden plates buried near his home by an angel. (Oh, and the angel repossessed the plates before they ever saw the light of day - convenient eh?).
If you want to watch a couple of preppies handcuffed to a radiator for 90 minutes, be my guest.
well crafted sermonizing hung on the frame of a true story
4/10 Despite what the other 10 star reviews would have you believe, this is very much an LDS movie that will likely appeal only to LDS audiences. Since it's a true story that made TV news in its day, I suppose it is no spoiler to reveal that not much happens to the two kidnapped missionaries during their 5 days of captivity before they are voluntarily released. For that reason the screenplay fills the action void with: a dream sequence, many flashbacks, a heady dose of preaching to the camera, and some none-too-subtle figura christi allusions. But I'll grant you that it is a fairly well made film for its type. It's true that the actors playing the missionaries are about ten years too old for their roles and the ones playing Senators and FBI agents are about 10 years too young, but overall the film is comfortably shot and scored. Yes, the hand-held camera is herky-jerky even when it doesn't need to be, but who really cares about these quibbles? Go see it if you skipped Sacrament Meeting last Sunday or if you just want to reinforce your belief that deep down all gentiles really respect we Mormons even when their use of coffee, tea, and beer makes them do bad things -- like not root for the Utah Jazz.3 years ago

The Vanderbilt Law community mourned the loss of Robert Belton after his death February 9. Professor Belton retired from a 34-year career on Vanderbilt's law faculty in 2009.
A nationally recognized scholar of labor and employment and civil rights law, Professor Belton became the first African American to be granted tenure at Vanderbilt Law School after joining the faculty in 1975. He was a popular and beloved teacher and mentor who particularly enjoyed working with students interested in social justice, and he played an important role in mentoring minority law students, serving as faculty advisor to the Black Law Students Association.
After earning his law degree at Boston University, Professor Belton served from 1965-70 as an assistant counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund Inc. (LDF), where he headed a national civil rights litigation campaign to enforce what was then a new federal law prohibiting discrimination in employment because of factors such as race and sex. He had a major role in the landmark Supreme Court civil rights case the LDF litigated, Griggs v. Duke Power Co. He then practiced for five years as a partner at the leading civil rights law firm of Chambers Stein Ferguson & Lanning in Charlotte, North Carolina, one of the first racially integrated firms in the South, before joining Vanderbilt's law faculty.
Professor Belton was the lead author of a widely-adopted casebook on employment discrimination law that was the first to incorporate critical race and feminist theory. He taught the Law of Work, Employment Discrimination Law, Constitutional Tort Litigation, and Race and the Law. Among other honors, he received the American Association of Law Schools' Minority Section's Clyde C. Ferguson Award in 2003 and the National Bar Association's Presidential Award in 2006.
I loved Robert Belton. I don't think I ever told him, and that makes me very sad. I did, thank God, tell him I was appreciative of his classes, guidance and candid advice. I still am.
My first year of law school was a disaster. I thought many of the class readings boring and suffered from a severe shortage of self-esteem. But in the first semester of my second year, I found a class that intrigued me—Law of Work, taught by Professor Belton. During the second semester, I took Employment Discrimination from Professor Belton. I liked the material, and my friend Rupert Byrdsong suggested that I consider becoming a research assistant. I initially recoiled at the idea, wondering what possible help I could give a learned professor who had litigated U.S. Supreme Court cases and changed civil rights law. But Rupert kept encouraging me to ask him, so I did. To my pleasant surprise, he said yes.
That semester he gave me an assignment to write about the U.S. Supreme Court's case law on the concept of societal discrimination. I liked the assignment and turned in a memo. I'll never forget the next time I saw him. He just stared at me, maybe even glared at me. "Hudson, you can do better than this. You can do much better than this." That was all he had to say.
He made me want to do the best job I could for him. For the first time in law school, I applied myself. My third year, I took his Constitutional Tort Litigation class. I loved the class and aced the final exam. Thanks to his mentoring, I had finally realized that law school had been a good choice for me and that I could succeed. I also became interested in teaching, because I realized what a positive impact a good teacher can have on students who have ability, but lack confidence.
Professor Belton cared about his students during and after law school. He graciously took the time to listen and offer advice on a wide variety of topics—some related to the law, many not. Through the years, we stayed in touch.
When I started writing books, he encouraged me. He listened when I was working on an employment discrimination case or talking about my passion for the First Amendment. When I began work at the First Amendment Center, he told me to get to know and seek counsel from Professor Tom McCoy, which was great advice and connected me with another friend and mentor. He welcomed me as a colleague when I began to teach First Amendment Law at Vanderbilt.
The year after Professor Belton retired, I had the honor of teaching an Employment Discrimination class at Vanderbilt. He shared with me his syllabus, gave me numerous pointers, and told me—"Just be who you are."
Professor Belton was a great teacher, a great mentor, a great man, and a kind and loyal friend. I miss him very much.
Rupert A. Byrdsong '94 was Robert Belton's research assistant from October 1992 until May 1994. Byrdsong is a partner at Ivie McNeill & Wyatt, the largest African-American owned law firm in California, where he oversees the employment discrimination department. Byrdsong remained close to Professor Belton after graduation, and the pair frequently discussed employment discrimination issues. Because of their close friendship, Byrdsong was asked by the Belton family to deliver the eulogy at Professor Belton's memorial service on February 15, 2012. The following tribute is excerpted from Byrdsong's remarks.
Bob Belton was an outstanding mentor, role model and teacher; a trailblazing attorney and advocate; and a loving husband, father, brother, uncle, grandfather and friend. He was also my personal hero.
Bob was a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. He was the first tenured African-American professor at Vanderbilt Law School. It had to be God's divine intervention for Bob to have tenure so he could be free to teach the subjects he taught in the way in which he taught them. The portrait of him now hanging at the law school is an inspiration to not only African-American students, but to all students who desire to make this world better. At the unveiling of the portrait, Bob said he learned three keys things from his father that guided him throughout life. First, keep a youthful spirit; second, pursue meaningful work; and third, find happiness in helping others. Bob excelled in each category.
Bob wanted to be like Thurgood Marshall. He was dedicated to changing the landscape of the law, using the existing laws to bring about equality, and advocating for and framing new law for the same purpose. Many people forget that Bob was an accomplished litigator before he became a professor. Bob went beyond legal theory and philosophy in the classroom because he had been in the trenches. Working with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, he knew how to frame the issues and to present the case in a way so that it had a chance to win. This background and training made him an exceptional professor.
One of Bob Belton's claims to fame was that he litigated Griggs v. Duke Power Company. Griggs was the case that set forth the disparate impact theory—that is that you could show discrimination even if you did not consciously intend to discriminate. Griggs established that if the impact of your employment practice systematically excluded a particular race, that practice was illegal unless the employer could show business necessity. He was working on his book discussing the history and evolution of the Griggs case when he died. It is my prayer that his work is completed to further cement his legacy in employment law.
We were also fortunate to witness Bob Belton's mark on another US Supreme Court case, Harris v. Forklift Systems, a case about sexual harassment that set forth the analytical framework to determine what constitutes a hostile work environment. Bob brought the plaintiff, Patricia Harris, to our class, and he gave a wonderful play-by-play rendition of the arguments by the Supreme Court justices. He was like a kid in a candy store, excited about the victory, but you could tell he was equally excited about the practice of law. He taught from a perspective that the goal was not to get a good grade in his class. The goal was for us to take the knowledge he shared and to make a difference in the world.
When President Barack Obama won the election in 2008, Bob and I talked that night. I called him and said, "Look at what you have achieved! Your body of work has made this day possible." He said, "Byrdsong, when I cast my vote for Obama, just to see his name on the ballot brought me to tears. I never thought I would see this much progress. But we still have work to do."
Bob was not afraid to point out that race is the proverbial elephant in every room—and that you cannot and should not act like it is not there. He often said that race brings people together at the same time it divides; unless you talk about race, you cannot deal with its impact on our thinking, our beliefs, and indeed, our society in general. His ongoing battle was overcoming the hurdle to even have the debate. He wanted people to talk about race. His belief was that once people started talking about race, you could begin to create solutions for the issues raised by it.
Bob was also not ashamed to be an advocate for affirmative action. He said, "How can you say it is unfair to grant opportunities when one race has benefited from a two hundred year head start?" He thought it was ludicrous to not want to even the playing field. He also dared anyone to show him someone who had benefited from an affirmative action program who did not make a difference once they got the opportunity. Bob did not want a handout. He wanted people to have access and everything would flow from there.
I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to have taken four of Bob's classes, and also to serve as his research assistant for two years while I attended Vanderbilt. During those meetings in his office, after and in between classes, I got to witness the pioneering genius of Bob Belton, the passionate commitment to require, to insist that the law do what it is supposed to do—to advance equality and justice. And if the law did not do enough, Bob was continually trying to figure out how it could, and would offer brilliant reasons explaining why it should. He wanted to make a difference. He did make a difference.
So tonight, after you have eaten your dinner, break out a bottle of Jack Daniels and send up a toast in Bob's honor!
Thank you, Bob, for sharing your gifts, your vision and your love.Top of page

Veteran's Day*
If your feet walk foreign soil, I wish you a swift and safe return home.
If you came home broken, I wish you swift and full mending.
If you suffered loss, I wish you the softening of grief, and abundance in your future days.
Thank you Dad, Big Brother, Uncle, Cousin, Basque A, Ed, Danny, and all of those who step/ped up and put on a uniform.
*For those who didn't know, Veteran's Day is for the living, Memorial Day is for the dead, which is why this post only mentions people still walking this Earth.
