CD isn't that great no matter what way you cut it. That Harvey Dent track is an insult. Tech should make his mind up him fucking self what kind of music he wants to do. K.o.D. wasn't that great, and now neither is this disc. He's the one that went off on all that "Show Me A God" crybaby ass shit.
Even though I havent heard this album yet Im gonna have to disagree with most ppl about "oh his old shit is better" and say that a lot of his newer material shits all over anghellic and absolute power ,the calm and thw worst, if thats what we are saying when we say his "old shit".
Everready was an album that instantly appealed to me without any getting used to whatso ever. If killer was cut to 1 cd with the key standout tracks left on their Im willing to go as far and say that killer would have been one of the dopest hiphop albums to drop in the past decade period.
Kod was very original in terms of concept and minus a couple of mis steps was pulled off just as dope as everready and killer. Absolute power was a dope ass album but the couple of songs on there that sucked were fuckin HORRIBLE, Like biancas and beatrices and "absolute power' itself fell short of glory and became very annoying. D12 fucked up she devil and made it a skip over. Anghellic was a dope ass album but the original with the stripclub song was well kinda weird. The thing about anghellic and even tech himself said is that his flow was very sloppy and off beat.
Ive come to expect collabos albums to be masogonistic and repetitive. Cause they all have been. But techs solo work is where its at for me.
Exactly! Fuck all the haters! Tech has never let me down with a cd. I've been impressed with every single Strange album. The man has been rappin his heart out for people and all they wanna fuckin do is bitch about "i want darkness!", "I want this!" "I want that!". Just listen to the fuckin music and be happy.
King Rasta said:People have been saying Tech is "selling out" forever. I'm sure people heard Absolute Power and were like, "This is nothing like Anghellic waah waah waah". Now that's a classic. People said the same shit about Everready, and that's almost everybody's favorite album. People wanted darkness and he gave them KOD. People bitched. People wanted party shit and he gave them Mixed Plate. People bitched. People will always bitch because they have an unrealistic ideal of what Tech's music should sound like. Tech's music still sounds like Tech, so I'm good. Tech has always written about his life, and now he's living the good life.

Dark Days
This is probably my least favorite week of the year. The shorter, darker days that accompany the clocks 'falling back' always puts me off a bit. Suddenly it's dark both coming and going, and it takes me a full week to adjust.
This year, the first dark ride into the office on Monday will be even a bit darker than usual. A year ago November 5, we all lost a friend of the bike. Most of us didn't know it, and until I picked up a panicked phone-call, I had never heard of Robert Hyndman. But ever since I got the call from Ben Lieberson that somebody had "crashed pretty bad" on what was otherwise a terrific group ride from Santa Monica into the beautiful canyons overlooking the Pacific Ocean, it has been a steady reminder of appreciation.
On a gorgeous route that I myself had done with a group earlier that spring, friends, family and customers rode together as part of the one-anniversary celebration for our partner shop, Bike Effect. When Robert crashed as he was descending Los Flores Canyon Road all feeling of celebration instantly extinguished. By all account it was immediately clear that this accident, this horrible and inexplicable accident was just that, an accident.
A sad reality is that this sport we love, this life we have chosen of the bike, can have real consequence. As fans we have witnessed it in professional racing. Many of us have likely ridden past a white 'ghost' bike as we've gone through the city. There are ample reminders about how the beauty and tragedy blur.
In talking with Robert's friends and family since, I have learned how Robert lived and loved the bike. I have been reminded that what we get to do is special. And that the bicycle brings us all so, so much to love about ourselves and all that we encounter.
Be safe out there.

It's hard to believe it's been a year since our dear friend Roberto left too soon. I wasn't on the ride that day but I still remember getting the panicked text messages. You never think when you talk to someone that it might be the last time you ever speak.
On a birthday ride a few years ago he had presented me with the polka dot jersey (I'm wearing it in the photo above). He knew how much I hated climbing. It was only fitting that I wore it on his memorial ride. I remember a couple other riders came up behind me that day and gave me a push to help me get up that beast of a hill (Los Flores). At one point I had to ask a guy to stop because I was crying to the point where it had become hard to see. The cycling community has an amazing way of helping each other heal…
Throughout this year I've had moments where I really miss my friend. It might be on a ride or when I realize that I can't call him in on a project to help me out. As I remembered his passing over the weekend I remember his unbelievable sense of humor. He would have given me crap for riding on the mountain bike Saturday instead of a road ride from his house. He was the glue that kept our riding group together.
Early today I was getting cleaned up after an early morning recovery ride. While shaving the legs I started crying and remember how much he used to raze me for not shaving. I would present all my excuses and reasoning to which he would simply reply "if you ride, you shave". When I finally did start shaving the legs I sent him a picture of a bad cut saying "this is why, this is why I don't do this". His response "you shave like you ride…amateur"
I miss you friend, your wit, your talent and that booming laugh.

In an opening-night thriller, the WC Commanderettes were on the ropes with the game on the line against the Taylor County Lady Cardinals.
They had just surrendered a five-point lead in just over 30 seconds and found themselves in a tied game with 27 seconds remaining.
After WC had already clawed their way back from a nine-point second-half deficit, it looked as if they might be headed to overtime.
But as sophomore Karagan Brizendine dribbled the clock down and finally made her move to the basket with under 10 seconds to play, fate intervened.

Moving into your Fall River Home: Clean Green!
It's easy to switch to green cleaning products when you're moving into a new home. Going green with natural household products means spending less, cutting down on harsh chemicals inside your home, and putting less harsh chemicals down the drain and into your local water supply. Here are some green household tips for your Fall River home.
Instead of Drano, pour baking soda down the drain, then follow up with white vinegar. Let the foam bubble up and soak for a minute, then pour boiling water down the drain to rinse.
Instead of window cleaner, mix 1 gallon of water with 3 tablespoons of white vinegar into a spray bottle.
Instead of a toilet bowl cleaner, sprinkle baking soda on the bowl and rinse with vinegar, then scrub with a toilet brush.
For a spot remover, use club soda.
Instead of wood polish, squeeze 1 lemon into 1 teaspoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon water. Apply a thin coat of this to the furniture, let sit for 5 minutes, and buff off with a soft cloth.
To browse hundreds of Fall River homes for sale, including short sales and foreclosures, visit the Greater Fall River Real Estate website.

Mark Slavit is the Columbia Bureau chief and the Mid-Missouri Traveler.
A dedicated volunteer was honored with a surprise presentation Thursday afternoon.
Central Missouri Community Action administrators gave Wanda Fischer their Volunteer of the Year Award.
Fischer started volunteering at Columbia's Bear Creek Head Start Preschool in April 2011.
The retired grandmother gave more than 300 hours of her time to preschoolers.
She was chosen from more than 1,660 volunteers from eight mid-Missouri counties.
"To see them grow up and develop their little personalities and just to be a part of that process was the rewarding part," she said.

Taiwan's Fading Independence Movement

The rising proportion of islanders who identify themselves as Taiwanese is driving increased enthusiasm for an independent Taiwan. However, this study from the East West Center argues that Taiwanese public opinion is increasingly favorable to peaceful relations in the Taiwan Strait. Using generational analysis, it shows that while many older Taiwanese hold passionate views about cross-strait relations, younger Taiwanese tend to be pragmatic, moderate, and open-minded.

Summary: Although neither China nor Taiwan wants war, both pursue policies that raise the risk of bloodshed: the first by issuing vague warnings, the second by testing their limits. To stabilize the situation, the Bush administration should help broker a temporary agreement under which Taipei would put off independence and Beijing would stop threatening to attack.

The various actors involved, including transnational corporations, local companies, investment promotion agencies, and multilateral donors, as well as lawyers advising foreign investors or their local counterparts and financial intermediaries, each follow their own interests. By its nature, FDI involves the interaction, and sometimes the clash, between different legal concepts of the participants and regulators.
Counsels to local governments and domestic partners in a joint venture with foreign companies may not always be accustomed to legal documentation in an Anglo-American or continental European style. As a result, dealing with FDI requires an ongoing learning process for all who wish to understand and successfully manage foreign investment transactions.
All this elucidates the need for a multi-author book which covers various areas of the law on FDI from different perspectives. The authors of this book are all concerned with FDI as either academics or practicioners and come from a variety of legal, academic and geographical backgrounds. The book consists of three parts:

Rep. Sander Levin (D-MI), ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, will speak with reporters at the Christian Science Monitor breakfast in Washington on Tuesday.
Rep. Levin will likely discuss changes to the tax code, as well as prospects for fixes for Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid financing, and trade legislation.
Congressman Levin voted in favor of the bill that avoided parts of the so-called "fiscal cliff." Congress is facing three more fiscal deadlines in the near future, including the debt ceiling, automatic spending cuts and the end of a continuing resolution funding the government.

The Moynihan Report and the Question of Black Masculinity
By the 1960s, concepts of self-image, self-esteem, and self-identity were commonplace in discussions of race. Pushed along by Brown, these themes were also advanced through the popularization of psychotherapy and the publication of a virtual flood of behavioral and clinical studies. Best-sellers like Robert Lindner's The Fifty-Minute
Hour (1955), a collection of psychoanalytic case studies, presented prejudice as, above all, an irrational psychological condition.[76] Explorations of racial psychology also found institutional support in new federal bureaucracies—especially the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)—established after World War II to support civilian behavioral research and promote mental health in the U.S. citizenry. Self-esteem was a concern that migrated from the theoretical terrain of personality development to take up residence in policy debates about black unemployment, poverty, and education in the New Frontier and the Great Society. And self-esteem typically encompassed the emphasis on gender and family issues that was so central to the work of postwar experts.[77]
The Negro Family: The Case for National Action, popularly known as the Moynihan Report, was probably the most controversial example of postwar behavioral research transformed into public policy, and its ideas have proven remarkably tenacious, outlasting the debate over social policy in the 1960s by several decades.[78] Daniel Patrick Moynihan was a young political scientist who went to Washington after Kennedy's election and upon receipt of his Ph.D. from the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. Moynihan was representative of the new breed of "social scientist-politico" who populated military and civilian bureaucracies in the 1950s and 1960s, promoting the idea that social and behavioral science should play a much larger role in government: diagnosing problems, suggesting solutions, evaluating programs.[79]
In March 1963 Secretary of Labor W. Willard Wirtz asked Moynihan to head the new Labor Department Office of Policy Planning and Research, and Moynihan became the youngest assistant secretary in the federal government. A year earlier, Moynihan had been involved in important policy debates among psychological experts as a member of the Kennedy administration's Interagency Task Force on Mental Health. That experience exposed him to the single most important innovation in the mental health field at the time—the replacement of institutionalized treatment of mentally ill individuals with community programs to prevent and contain emotional maladjustments, a radical shift in policy that served to implicate all individuals (not just crazy ones) in the quest for psychological health. In his new job at the Department of Labor, Moynihan read Selective Service Director General Lewis Hershey's 1963 report on the dismal mental and physical state of the U.S. military, a report so shockingly reminiscent of World War II military statistics (a 50 percent rejection rate, for example) that Moynihan decided
to do something about it. The something was a novel mixture of welfare and warfare. "The thought of using the Selective Service System as a national screening device came instantly to mind. To link social issues to military preparedness was, well, an idea I called Theodore C. Sorensen at the White House [about]. He liked it."[80]
Moynihan went on to contribute to a task force report, One-Third of a Nation: A Report on Young Men Found Unqualified for Military, Service, which emphasized how effective the military might be as a social welfare program—preparing young men for jobs and offering them opportunities for education and training. Several years later, telltale traces of these recommendations showed up in Project 100,000, a Defense Department program that lowered military admissions standards with the goal of uplifting the "subterranean poor" and curing them, in the words of Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, of the "idleness, ignorance, and apathy" that marked their lives.[81] It was not coincidental that Moynihan found inspiration and reason for hope in exactly such products of military psychology. They linked warfare to welfare, neatly illustrating an important, recurring theme in the history of psychology: the reverberation of wartime developments in distinctly nonmilitary policy spheres. In the short run, One-Third of a Nation functioned as a blueprint for the War on Poverty and as a model for Moynihan's next project: a report on the black family.
In writing the report, Moynihan undoubtedly drew on his own recent experience analyzing the problems of a gender-specific subject— young men unfit to serve in the military. He also drew, freely and consciously, on the insights that E. Franklin Frazier, Kenneth Clark, and others had offered into the gender dynamics of the black family.[82] The Moynihan Report thus reproduced many of the features of the postwar literature reviewed in this chapter. It blamed slavery for lowering self-esteem and increasing dependence, accepted patriarchy as normal and natural, identified black families as matriarchal and deviant, and called for the employment of responsible male breadwinners as the solution to a host of social problems in the black community. It is worth quoting the Moynihan Report at some length in order to illustrate the centrality of gender in the link Moynihan forged between welfare and warfare.
At the heart of the deterioration of the fabric of Negro society is the deterioration of the Negro family. . . . In essence, the Negro community has been forced into a matriarchal structure which, because it is so out of line with the rest of American society, seriously retards the progress of the group as a whole, and imposes a crushing burden on the Negro male and, in consequence, on a great
many Negro women as well. . . . Given the strains of the disorganized and ma-trifocal family life in which so many Negro youth come of age, the Armed Forces are a dramatic and desperately needed change: a world away from women, a world run by strong men of unquestioned authority, where discipline, if harsh, is nonetheless orderly and predictable, and where rewards, if limited, are granted on the basis of performance. The theme of a current Army recruiting message states it as clearly as can be: "In the U.S. Army you get to know what it means to feel like a man."[83]
Very little, if anything, that Moynihan wrote about the black family was new, although he did pepper the report with more copious charts, graphs, and statistical correlations than had previous writers. Moynihan did call the black family damaged and disorganized, but hadn't Frazier pointed out the terribly destructive consequences of slavery and urbanization twenty-five years earlier? Moynihan used the term "tangle of pathology," but hadn't Kenneth Clark articulated a comprehensive approach to the "social pathology" of the black ghetto which had been hinted at in An American Dilemma? Moynihan pointed out that the family was a useful target of government intervention, but hadn't one of the most appealing things about the family always been that it seemed particularly susceptible to conscious change by outside agents?
The charges of racism that swirled around the public debate over the Moynihan Report were especially ironic because Moynihan allowed race far less autonomy as a factor in historical development than had the other experts—Myrdal, Frazier, and colleagues—on whose work the report depended. Based on his own recent study of the history of various immigrant groups, Moynihan believed that nothing about the black family's problems was specifically "racial."[84] One journalist even summarized Moynihan's view as follows: "Paddy and Sambo are the same people."[85] Like other desperately poor individuals, blacks living in poverty needed decent jobs, educational opportunities, and the hope of attaining some measure of security in life. What Moynihan wanted to do was turn a ghettoized black underclass into an urban industrial working class, hence providing the basis for an interracial economic alliance, much as Frazier had suggested. His vision of a stable black working class did not imply that voting rights or desegregation, the core demands of the civil rights movement, should be rejected. Indeed, Moynihan supported these aims. But he insisted that guaranteeing the symbols of legal equality, while doing little to promote concrete opportunities for economic participation, was merely a way of repeating the
tragic errors of Reconstruction. Black people's basic problems, according to Moynihan, were about class, not color.[86]
Gender was implicated in either case, however. The destruction undisciplined men would wreak on a community—any community—was as evident in the histories of Irish and Italian immigrants as it was in black urban ghettos during the 1960s. Moynihan warned,
There is one unmistakable lesson in American history: a community that allows a large number of young men to grow up in broken families, dominated by women, never acquiring any stable relationship to male authority, never acquiring any set of rational expectations about the future—that community asks for and gets chaos. Crime, violence, unrest, disorder—most particularly the furious, unrestrained lashing out at the whole social structure—that is only to be expected; it is very near to inevitable. And it is richly deserved.[87]
He had personal reasons to know. Moynihan had grown up in the poor, heavily Irish Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan, the product of a female-headed family. During his teenage years, he worked in his mother's bar, where he and his brother frequently intervened in rough disputes between customers and got a firsthand look at the anarchy of unchecked masculinity.
The assumptions that Moynihan and his contemporaries made about gender were deep and consequential, but they went largely unquestioned at the time. There were, however, a few exceptions: women who insisted, in 1965, that female "domination" was a perverse male fantasy and that reinforcing male supremacy in the domestic sphere simply scapegoated women (like Moynihan's own mother) who were forced to earn an independent living in order to support their children. One such critic was Mary Keyserling, director of the Women's Bureau in the Department of Labor. She tried to expose and counter Moynihan's gendered assumptions about economic roles in the family by arguing that wage-earning black women were not a problem, that "our under-utilization as a Nation of the great national resource which is our womanpower" is an "item of unfinished business."[88] Only men like Moynihan, Keyserling tersely pointed out, were saying that black women were "over-employed." Abandoning the workforce to become dependent wives and mothers was no solution, in Keyserling's view, because the obstacles facing black women were at least as great in the case of earning decent wages as they were in the case of finding reliable male breadwinners. She calmly noted that improving the employment
status of men was a noble goal, but it should not come at women's expense. Black women, after all, were concentrated in the lowest-paid, most dead-end jobs. They needed economic advocacy as much, if not more, than others.
These were exactly the criticisms that would become standard feminist arguments just a few years later. In 1965, however, Keyserling's was a rather solitary voice. Most women active in the civil rights movement, understandably enough, would not have welcomed a choice between endorsing black women's economic dependence or abandoning the code of racial solidarity, and until the appearance of an autonomous women's movement several years later, these appeared to be the only choices. Nevertheless, research on black women's organizations has shown that the controversy over the Moynihan Report served to push many black women toward feminist consciousness several years prior to women's liberation.[89] It was only a matter of time, of course, before a chorus of feminist denunciations of Moynihan would appear.[90]
In 1965 though, the deafening silence that greeted Moynihan's gendered ideology helps to explain why Moynihan did not seem to realize, either while writing his report or afterwards, that gender, sexuality, and the family would be such hot button issues and the unacknowledged source of a great deal of the controversy. Alarm over families, and over what occurred within them—between men and women, parents and children—doubtlessly reminded the report's critics of the self-improvement approaches of psychological experts because the explosion of postwar clinical work was tied so firmly to personal difficulties and domestic adjustments. Because the women's movement had not yet turned issues like sex-role socialization into questions with legitimate public standing, it was no wonder that so many of Moynihan's critics reacted to his emphasis on sex roles and family skeptically, as a dangerous detour into the private sphere. They worried that, whatever Moynihan's intentions, policy-makers would respond to the report by endorsing counseling or therapeutic treatment because they viewed black Americans' real problem as "ego inadequacy" or "deviance" rather than an absence of equal opportunities.
After decades of performing as walking, talking examples of racism's psychological destruction, black Americans had had enough. Part of the national spasm over the Moynihan Report was surely due to the fact that it appeared during a moment of critical transition in the civil rights movement. Black Americans were no longer willing to wait patiently as experts observed their behavior, peered into their psyches, and moni-
tored levels of social pathology in their communities. William Ryan, a psychologist and one of the most prominent of Moynihan's critics, articulated the anxiety that psychology would displace politics, and bluntly caricatured psychological experts as follows.
Writers about the Negro family dwell on the issue of sexual identification as if they had just stepped off the boat from Vienna forty years ago. They are more kosher than a rabbi, holier than a pope, more psychoanalytic than Freud himself. It sometimes appears that they worry more about the resolution of Negro Oedipus complexes than they do about black men getting decent jobs. . . . They see psychological functions, particularly sex-role induction, as far more prominent than other more important functions of the family.[91]
For many civil rights advocates who criticized the Moynihan Report, "family disorganization," "social pathology," and "the culture of poverty" were code terms. They intimated that since black Americans' problems were primarily personal and psychological, institutional racism and discrimination could be deemphasized or even eliminated as a terrain of government action. Many mainstream civil rights activists shared Moynihan's belief in the naturalness and superiority of patriarchal gender and family arrangements; even black power advocates frequently recommended a heavy dose of patriarchy as the best antidote to the poison that whites had forced on the black community. Almost all, however, emphatically objected to the notion that matriarchal families were the source of black Americans' problems. The vast majority of black families were still headed by men and, in any case, the causal relationship went in the other direction. Racial oppression produced social pathology rather than vice versa. To put the family under a microscope threatened to undermine the very foundations of the Great Society by "blaming the victim."[92]
Moynihan's goal all along had been to design a universal system of social provision to care for Americans at the bottom of the class ladder, regardless of race. His choice to promote family policy as a means to that end had more to do with practical, political considerations than anything else.[93] Families, it has been pointed out, were relatively straightforward targets of intervention and measurement. Further, family policy had a chance of winning support in a Congress dominated by a conservative majority of Republicans and southern Democrats, whereas general social welfare measures, presented as such, did not. Moynihan understood this very clearly. In later years, the War on Poverty's abandonment of class issues (for Moynihan, these were repre-
sented by jobs programs and income guarantees) and its embrace of community action programs and ideas like "maximum feasible participation" (which Moynihan rejected as an example of importing useless social-scientific concepts into government programs) was, for Moynihan, proof positive that he, and the War on Poverty, had failed.[94] Convinced that race had been overemphasized, Moynihan wrote a memo in 1970, as an advisor to the Nixon White House, urging the federal government to treat the circumstances of black Americans with "benign neglect."[95]
In 1965, when Moynihan began work on the black family report, his purpose was, quite simply, "to win the attention of those in power."[96] He wrote it "for an audience of a dozen, at most two dozen, men who in their brief authority had become accustomed to . . . making large decisions on the basis of manifestly inadequate information."[97] It was never intended to go beyond a tiny circle of high-level policy-makers, although it eventually did. Between March 1965, when the report was initially approved and printed, and July 1965, no more than eighty numbered copies had been distributed in the Department of Labor and the White House.[98] What opened the report to a firestorm of public criticism, and what made Moynihan a household name after July, was largely a fluke of timing. The Watts riot exploded on August 11, just two days after Newsweek had summarized the Moynihan Report. Watts was the most destructive riot in the United States since the 1943 riot in Detroit. Demand for copies of the report skyrocketed immediately; seventy. thousand copies of it were eventually printed.[99]
This coincidence of timing generated a widespread perception that Moynihan's "tangle of pathology" was the Johnson administration's official explanation for the violence, arson, looting, and death that had appeared with such ferocity in Watts. The establishment news media certainly adopted this view. The Wall Street Journal announced that "Family Life Breakdown in Negro Slums Sows Seeds of Violence—Husbandless Homes Spawn Young Hoodlums, Impede Reforms, Sociologists Say"; the Washington Post reported that "the Los Angeles riots reinforce the President's feeling of the urgent need to help restore Negro families' stability."[100] Moynihan encouraged such conclusions by pointing out the dramatic rates of female-headed families and illegitimacy in Watts, and by offering his customary warnings about the dangers of unchecked masculinity. In a 1967 article, Moynihan reflected that "Watts made the report a public issue, and gave it a name."[101]
Watts also made him into an instant riot expert. Embittered by the avalanche of protest over the report, Moynihan left Washington to head the Massachusetts Institute of Technology/Harvard Joint Center for Urban Studies, where he spent the next several years designing a plan of expert first aid for the country's crisis-ridden cities. Central to his new public authority was the real desperation of federal, state, and local administrators to find anyone who might help. During the Detroit riots, in the summer of 1967, Moynihan was urgently called to that city by a mayor in need of advice. That fall, Life produced the following solemn headline: "A Troubled Nation Turns to Pat Moynihan."[102]
Even more than timing, the fear and angry reaction that ghetto riots provoked in white Americans seemed to vindicate Moynihan's perspective as well as erase any remaining hopes that the conscience of white America could be moved in antiracist directions. Deep reserves of feeling that black men were especially disordered in attitude and uncontrollable in behavior had been fortified by experts' emphasis on irresponsible, nonmarital sexuality, illegitimacy, and the burgeoning literature on black "matriarchy." These reserves were obviously much easier to tap than the "American Creed," if the latter even existed at all. Hadn't Moynihan at least offered a plausible explanation for this moment of crisis? What was rioting, after all, if not convincing proof that black families had twisted the masculinity of their sons to the point of extreme irrationality and violence?
Moynihan's solution, too, rang true for many. The transformation from marginal, defiant loners to integrated and responsible breadwinners would be produced by upward mobility, a move which required money but whose essence lay in wholesale changes of attitude and loyalty. As one Moynihan observer put it, "In the lower class, they don't take care of property; in the working class they do. In the lower class, the men don't work; in the working class, they're trying to get overtime. It's the difference between the rioter and the cop."[103] Just how large policy-makers thought this attitudinal gap was, and how profoundly implicated in it were postwar investigations of the sources of prejudice among whites and personality damage and gender nonconformity among blacks, can be seen in the work of the Kerner Commission, the federal government's major response to ghetto riots after 1965.

The debate over the use of computers in public education dates back to at least 1983, when the federally appointed National Commission on Excellence in Education issued its report A Nation at Risk, which harshly criticized the failures of the U.S. educational system and tied them to the nation's economic problem: "Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world. . . . The educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very virtues as a Nation and a people." The report concluded, "We must dedicate ourselves to the reform of our educational system for the benefit of all."
The warnings of A Nation at Risk came at a time when Americans were beginning to embrace computer technology. IBM had just released the first personal computer in 1981; the company sold 6 million of them in 1983. In 1984, Apple Computer gained popularity after introducing the Macintosh, a personal computer that featured a novel, easy-to-use graphical user interface and a mouse in addition to a keyboard. The Internet and the World Wide Web would not gain popularity for another decade, but in the early 1980s Americans already felt that a social transformation was underway and that their children should be prepared for it. As the authors of A Nation at Risk put it, "Learning is the indispensable investment required for success in the 'information age' we are entering."
By 1988 more than half of all workers in the United States were using computers. The nation's school system followed this trend: According to American Prospect cofounder Paul Starr, "Between 1981 and 1991, the proportion of schools with computers rose from 18 percent to 98 percent, and the number of students per computer fell from 125 to 18." Elementary and middle schools purchased mostly Apple computers, while high schools favored DOS-, and later, Windows-based machines. And as computer technology became more advanced, so too did the educational software that was marketed to schools. Computer-assisted education (CAI) was, and still is, touted as a potentially revolutionary new means of learning. "PCs and general applications software made computing more flexible and easily adapted to different subjects and styles of teaching," writes Starr. He adds, "Unlike motion pictures, radio, and TV, computers were far more susceptible to both student-centered and teacher-defined activities."
In the early 1990s, the movement to use computers in the classroom was reinvigorated by the explosive growth of the Internet and the World Wide Web. Many parents and educators hoped that the Internet would enrich CAI and the overall educational experience by connecting classrooms to the outside world. Responding to this enthusiasm, in 1996 President Bill Clinton proposed federal funding to help bring computer and Internet technology into all classrooms by 2000. Congress allotted $2 bil- lion to the Technology Literacy Fund in 1997, and this money helped bring the percentage of K–12 classrooms connected to the Internet from 3 percent in 1994 to 77 percent in 2000. Grants for integrating Internet technology into education were also a major part of the No Child Left Behind Act that President George W. Bush signed into law in January 2002.
The case for integrating computers into the classroom is summed up by a 2002 Department of Education report:
The latest research and evaluation studies demonstrate that school improvement programs that employ technology for teaching and learning yield positive results for students and teachers. Given that many schools and classrooms have only recently gained access to technology for teaching and learning, the positive outcomes of these studies suggest a future for education that could be quite bright if the nation maintains its commitment to harnessing technology for education.
The adoption of new and emerging technologies by schools and classrooms offers even more reason to be hopeful. With sufficient access and support, teachers will be better able to help their students comprehend difficult-to-understand concepts and engage in learning, provide their students with access to information and resources, and better meet their students' individual needs. If we take advantage of the opportunities presented to us, technology will enhance learning and improve student achievement for all students.
In addition, a 2002 National Policy Association report titled Building a Digital Workforce: Confronting the Crisis emphasizes the need to train students for a computer-dominated workplace. Echoing 1983's A Nation at Risk, the authors of Building a Digital Workforce write: "America has a workforce crisis. It has a sufficient supply of workers, but they lack adequate 21st Century IT [information technology] skills to fuel the information age economy. . . . Unless the country acts now to fill this gap, its competitiveness may be threatened."
Yet, from its very outset in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the movement to use computers in education has had its share of critics, many of whom simply don't believe the claims of technology enthusiasts. For technology skeptics, zealous claims about CAI echo Thomas Edison's 1922 prediction that "The motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and . . . in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks." Motion pictures became primarily a media for entertainment rather than education, and critics charge that the same thing is happening to computers and the Internet.
The anti-technology viewpoint is presented in detail in books such as 1999's High-Tech Heretic: Why Computers Don't Belong in the Classroom and Other Reflections by a Computer Contrarian. Author Clifford Stoll argues against the conventional wisdom that students need to be computer literate to succeed in the workplace:
What jobs will be around in 2100? Surprise! They're pretty much the same jobs available today: dentists, truck drivers, surgeons, ballet dancers, salespeople, entertainers, and school- teachers. A century from now, there will still be movies stars, morticians, gardeners, forest rangers, and police officers. . . . Curious thing about all these jobs—none of them require computing.
But the main argument used by parents, teachers, and policy makers who oppose CAI is that the money that schools spend on computers could be better used for other things, primarily hiring more teachers. This view was expressed in 1998 by the National Science Board (NSB):
The fundamental dilemma of computer-based instruction and other IT-based educational technologies is that their cost-effectiveness compared to other forms of instruction— for example, smaller class sizes, self-paced learning, peer teaching, small group learning, innovative curricula, and in-class tutors—has never been proven.
The NSB is referring to the fact that widespread use of computers in education is less than two decades old, and research on its effectiveness is largely ambiguous.
Indeed, one thing that both sides of the computers-in-education debate agree on is that more research is needed to determine what educational techniques—computer-assisted or otherwise—are most beneficial for students. As Michael Dertouzos, author of What Will Be: How the New World of Information Will Change Our Lives, puts it, "We need to continually examine what succeeds and fails, and why. And we should do so before we deploy any technical approach on a grand scale." America's schools are the laboratories in which educators' many different experiments with CAI are being conducted.
The debate over computers in education is constantly evolving based on new research and technological advancements. Ultimately, decisions about whether and how to use computers in education will be made largely by individual communities and schools, based on their particular resources, needs, and goals. The viewpoints in At Issue: Computers and Education highlight the main arguments in the debate about whether CAI is good for the nation's school system as a whole.

Access "Storage spending report"
This article is part of the Vol. 4 No. 4 June 2005 issue of Exploring new options for disk-based backup
Strategic vendor choices shifting Storage managers responding to our survey have been relatively stable in their choice of strategic vendors for backup hardware, as well as backup and storage management software, since 2002. But in disk and switch hardware, users have had shifting allegiances in who they list as their primary vendors. We've generally interpreted that designation as a measure of mindshare and strategic importance, not market share. In switches, Brocade Communications Systems Inc.'s failure in 2003 to present a convincing roadmap and stream of new products opened the door wide, and Cisco Systems Inc. has clearly stepped into it. Cisco's mindshare is way out of proportion to its market share, although reports from analyst firms such as IDC have generally shown that to be growing, too. McData Corp., meanwhile, continues to enjoy the growing popularity of directors. In disk storage, the story is a bit different. After its troubles in 2002 and 2003, EMC Corp. has clearly emerged as the leader. Hewlett-Packard Co. fell and Hitachi Data Systems Inc.... Access >>>

It kinda really is, I too thought at first that reason was just a toy, like the roland mc-303.
Reason is a fully programmable program. You can route and automate anything in it.
If you know synthesis, you can make any of Reason's synths sound great…even Subtractor!
The MC303 is a 14 year old rompler with limited programming capabilities…huge difference.
I will say though that Reason didn't start getting good until 3.5 release and got really good at 4.0.
I'm sure 5.0 will bring some really cool tools to kick it up a notch. Now with Record out the pair are a pretty lethal budget combo if you don't want to drop thousands of dollars for a music studio. I always recommend Reason to people who want to learn production.
remember, fancier tools don't necessarily make a better mechanic. It's all how about how you learn to use the tools to their potential.
