Organizing as a Civil Right: How to Boost Labor and Reverse Inequality By Daniel Adler Rolling Stone September 20, 2012 http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/national-affairs/organizing-as-a-civil-right-how-to-strengthen-labor-and-reverse-inequality-20120920 These are dark days for the American labor movement - and, not coincidentally, for the American worker. Decades of globalization, technological change, and a relentless assault by employers and right-wing politicians have left unions gasping for air. Only about 7 percent of private sector workers belong to a union, down from 35 percent at the height of labor's power, in the mid-1950s. Public employee unions, now the core of the movement, are hanging on, but they're taking a beating, too - and not just from conservatives like Gov. Scott Walker in Wisconsin; now even liberals are piling on, as witness Mayor Rahm Emanuel's fight with Chicago's teacher's union. As labor has weakened over the past few decades, American workers have lost much of their ability to bargain over wages, hours, benefits, and working conditions. At the same time -- and surely this is no coincidence, income from productivity gains have gone almost exclusively to the top 10 percent, while middle- class workers have seen their incomes stagnate or shrink. And with unions less able to supply money and manpower to political campaigns, the Democratic party is increasingly outgunned by the corporate-funded GOP, further weakening labor's political hand. Union decline looks irreversible. But it doesn't have to be. Or so says policy analyst Richard Kahlenberg. A big factor in labor's slide, he argues, is the failure of current law to protect workers who want to organize a union from employer retaliation, especially firing. In a new book, co-authored with Moshe Marvit, Kahlenberg, a fellow at the liberal think tank The Century Foundation, proposes amending the Civil Rights Act so that it makes firing a worker for attempting to unionize legally akin to discriminating on the basis of sex or race. Under the protection of civil rights law, workers illegally fired for organizing would have access to far more effective remedies than the ones provided by current labor law, including damages, injunctions, discovery, legal fee awards, compensatory and punitive damages. In the preface to the book, Why Labor Organizing Should Be a Civil Right, Tom Geoghegan, a noted labor lawyer whom Kahlenberg credits with first coming up with the idea, argues that bringing union organizing under the protection of civil rights law would "change the culture as much as the civil rights revolution did" for racial and gender discrimination. Moreover, he adds, "Nothing would do more to put a brake on the country's runaway economic inequality." RollingStone.com recently got Kahlenberg on the phone to talk about the push to shore up the labor movement, rebuild the middle class, and restore economic justice by making union organizing a civil right. Your proposal would make firing a worker for trying to organize a union a violation of the Civil Rights Act. But isn't that already illegal under existing law? Yes, but the law is weak and the penalties fail to deter employers from firing workers. Labor rights are routinely abrogated. If you look at what goes on in the private sector today, when an employee, or a group of employees, tries to organize a union in order to protect their interests, employers frequently fire the ringleaders, and that puts a stop to the union organizing effort because the leaders are gone and everyone else is scared. There are thousands of documented cases each year in which employees are wrongfully fired for trying to organize a union. Amending civil rights law is potentially a tall order. Why not strengthen existing labor law through legislation? Labor law reform is always an uphill battle. Progressives have been trying to improve it for almost fifty years now, going back to Lyndon Johnson. Right. Most recently, in 2009, Democrats and the Obama administration tried to get the Employee Free Choice Act enacted, which would make it easier to organize and stiffening penalties for employer abuses, but the bill didn't even make it to a formal vote in the Senate. I personally support EFCA. I think it's a good idea. But it failed in part because it was complicated, and therefore easy for opponents to distort, and also because it was seen as a fight between two sets of special interests: Organized labor on the one hand and business interests on the other. Public employee unions, which are now under siege, aren't covered by the country's key labor law, the National Labor Relations Act. Why not? And would you bring both private and public workers under the protection of the Civil Rights Act? The way that the law has developed in the United States is that we have a federal labor law that covers most private sector workers - not all, but most - and public sector workers are protected under individual state laws, which makes subject to the whims of the political trends in the particular state they happen to live in. It seems to me there's a strong argument for federal protections for all employees. Why is framing labor organizing as a civil rights issue a better way to go? We think that if we frame this in terms of civil rights and anti-discrimination, the American public will understand what is at stake, and understand the basic issue of fairness. If you put it to people, "Should an individual be fired even if they're doing a good job at work because they're trying to assert their fundamental right to organize a union?" most people will answer, "No, that's unfair, it's wrong, and it ought to be stopped." And we think that simple message has a greater chance of prevailing. But still, amending the Civil Rights Act will require Congress to act. The only way that this legislation would move forward would be under a Congress that is friendly to labor rights and civil rights. So I think as a practical matter, you'd need a Democratic Congress and a Democratic executive. The next time that happens, we think that it's important for progressives to have a plan ready. How do you reconcile the labor-movement emphasis on solidarity with the individual-rights emphasis of civil rights legislation? I believe in solidarity. If that were a value that was deeply woven into the American ethos, then I think it would make sense to lead with that argument. The reality is that we are a country that values individualism and individual rights. And rather than battle against that cultural emphasis, I think it makes more sense for labor to advance collective rights in a way that fits into the American story, which is that an individual standing up for his or her rights shouldn't be discriminated against for doing so. And so to my mind, rather than continuing to butt our heads against the wall of American individualism, it makes more sense to harness that sense that individuals have rights in this country that ought to be respected. One of the major roles of the government is to protect individual rights. How do you see the stakes in this fight? Labor is under unprecedented assault. We really face the prospect of a country without labor unions. And more broadly, there are clear economic trends in this country - growing inequality, decline in the middle class - that coincide with the decline of the labor movement. Between the 1940's and around the early 1970's, when labor unions were strong, productivity gains were matched by wage increases. Since the mid seventies, productivity has continued to increase, but wages have been mostly flat. When you look at who gets the productivity gains there, they're going today to the 1 percent, not to workers, something that has been less apparent in other countries with stronger labor movements. Where is public opinion on this? Aren't people generally ambivalent about labor unions? The public is mixed on unions, but strongly support the basic right of collective bargaining. Short of your proposal actually going into law, how else can labor rights be shored up? Even short of legislation, I think it's important for the labor movement to emphasize the rhetoric of civil rights. The UAW is starting to do that with a campaign organizing workers in the South, and I think that can be very effective. The Civil Rights Movement in this country is quite rightly iconic. If the labor movement could associate itself more closely with the movement and the need to promote the dignity of individuals and of individual workers, then I think they'll have a much better time explaining themselves to the public. ___________________________________________ Portside aims to provide material of interest to people on the left that will help them to interpret the world and to change it.

Clementine - Baltimore
Online Reservations
Took my Mom for a birthday celebration and dinner here last week. The service was excellent and very attentive, especially to the birthday girl. ;) I love that they include the charcuterie tasting plate with dinner. A very nice touch and generous of them. We all enjoyed simple Steak Salads. Very summerery (?). Steak was tender, greens fresh and more importantly, not overdressed. Desserts were heavenly. Really like that they support the local growers. I would recommend Clementine to anyone.
Foodies unite: Clementine strikes the balance between delightful presentation and delicious taste combinations. Great fresh cocktails, too. Bring your kids. They can play off in a corner where toys will keep them occupied while you enjoy every morsel on your plate.
I made a reservation for six (five adults, one baby) for a 9:45 a.m. brunch. When we arrived, the host said next time we make a reservation, make sure to request the "kid side" of the restaurant. I had no idea what he was talking about until he walked us to our table on said "kid side." There is a big play area for kids with a TON of toys. We got a table for six right by the kid area and it was perfect for my antsy two-year-old to go play while we waited for the food to come. I ordered the challah french toast and it was incredible. Another notable plate was the catfish and cheese grits - phenomenal. Definitely recommend and if you have kids, request the "kid side!"
Clementine is a star among stars in Baltimore. Parking is easy (by CVS -- lot is for the neighborhood). Food is exceptional. Cocktails are creative. And the wine list has some real gems and doesn't break the bank (several delicious bottles under $45, ours was only $30). I had a wonderful time celebrating my birthday there. So much so that my sis and I went back for brunch the next day! If you go for brunch get whatever the special pastry is! And if you go for dinner, get the charcuterie platter!
This is a very charming place. There are two dining rooms here, one is more hip & vibrant looking. We were sat in the other room, which is has a very warm colonial feel with modern touches and is the "family friendly" side. This worked out great as we had our 1 year old with us. This room has a lounge area for the kids, complete with a couch, books, toys and games. I was impressed by the kids' lounge. I haven't seen anything quite like that before. Also, the food was quite good. I had the duck breast which was served with a cornbread stuffing which was delicious. My wife had a scallops and shrimp dish. The seafood was plump and delicious and was served with a luscious brown butter sauce. They also have some interesting options for kids.
My husband and I really enjoyed the food and the mixed drinks. The staff was great, as they assisted me with a suprise birthday cake for my husband that I ordered through Hamilton Bakery. I recommend everyone to go atleast once and try the great food.
We went to clementines for our anniversary of 34years. My husband asked where I wanted to go for dinner and of course I said Clemantines. I had rabbit and my husband had the pork chop. They were fabulous, which I expected. Thank you for a great dinner.
Main dining room can be VERY noisy. Still, we had a great meal.
Their combination of children's play area plus great cocktails and food make this the perfect spot for families with young children in tow.
First time going for lunch and it was great as usual. Will definitely be back for another one.
Great place except for the noise level and too many little kids.
Clementine is a great little Hamilton restaurant. The food is always good although overpriced. Specialty drinks run around $9 but are strong. Food is tasty and well prepared but portions are generally small. On this occasion it was busy and fairly noisy but they offered 2 additional drinks an the house even though we had no complaints. It is certainly worth the trip but be prepared to spend around $100 for two.
We had some relatives coming into town who are foodies who wanted are young kids to go someplace with us. I immediately thought of Clementine. The kids had a great time even though it was late for them. The adults enjoyed the food and visiting. I think this is the perfect place for nice dining with children. The staff was very patient and understanding of the kids.
We were there for the benefit for Moveable Feast. Thanks for giving 50% of the take. We appreciate your activism for this cause. We dined out for Life here last year.
My fiancé and I eat here often and we love it!!!! We take all of our out of town friends here for brunch and dinner! Love this place!
We have been to Clementine for brunch, lunch and dinner and it is always great.
Fresh food that pleases the palate. Can't go wrong ordering anything from the menu. Moderately priced. Friendly atmosphere---and good for families with small children too.
Great as always. I definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.
I've been several times and my girlfriend orders the duck. I order something else, and while my food is great, the duck is amazing. So order the duck, or at least be sure someone willing to share does.
I recommend this place for breakfast. It takes American classics and turns it into some really good food.
Delicious and pleasant as usual. Only downside is that the back room was incredibly hot, and our party left early because it was hot enough to be quite uncomfortable. The other room was cool and comfortable, and it was unclear why we were seated in the room having temperature issues when there were open tables in the more comfortable climate controlled room.
My friend and I met up for brunch on Saturday at around 10:30. The place was busy but not extremely crowded. The menu had everything from a standard American scramble to an Indian scramble to a Korean variation. I tried the Migas, which was a scramble that included tortilla and some other tasty ingredients. My friend opted for the traditional scramble. We got a side of cumin home fries which was delicious. Coffee was good too. Overall, the service was great, food was fresh, and the setting was pleasant. I would recommend it for brunch/lunch. I found out you can park across the street in the CVS lot for the restaurant because it's a community lot, convenient as there is only street parking otherwise.
Clementine continues to be one of my favorite places to eat. I took my future inlaws there last weekend and they loved it too. I will take bonus points any way I can get them!
We've been to Clementine's before and it is always good. Unfortunately, despite making my reservation through Open Table, they did not had it in their system and we ended up having to wait behind others already there for a table. I showed them my reservation listed on Open Table on my phone but they said if it wasn't in their system they couldn't count it. At least it wasn't a very long wait. Not sure what to do when this happens
Terrific meatloaf and vegetarian meals. Best dessert ever--chocolate pear tart.
This was the best dinner and wine for an extremely fair price anywhere. I highly recommend it! Everyone was wonderful and the atmosphere is not noisy at all. The tables were nicely spaced so people were no sitting on top of one another. A welcome experience.
I moved away from Bmore two years ago and whenever I am back in town visiting friends I always make everyone to Clementine, and everyone leaves the place stuffed and with a new favorite restaurant :) Their brunch and lunch options are amazing. Some standouts are the belgian waffles, french toast, duck hash, mushroom tarts, and cheese grits. And before I get any further, let me say, GET A MUFFIN! Their muffins are the best you can get anywhere. Each time I have been they have had a different flavor (cinnamon, peanut butter and jelly, blueberry, and this last time pumpkin with pumpkin seed streusel topping!!). They capture the season with their specials and please the mouth and belly! And they brew zeke's coffee. enough said! go now!
The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and relaxed. Belgian waffle was awesome. Kids area was a nice touch
Was reluctant to go at first (not sure why) but can't imagine a better kid-friendly restaurant. Felt like an adult dining experience with amazing food where kids were also welcome. Love that they also have a side for adults where you could simply have a romantic meal. Highly recommended.
I love the food menu at Clementine. They have inventive cocktails and the space is charming. The service is attentive and consistent. My two complaints are that I would have liked the option or had been told that I was being seated in the room where they have a station set up for children to play. It's great that they have something to keep kids occupied, but it also meant that there was a young child crawling around on the floor near my table. The second complaint is the desserts. They pride themselves on having a pastry chef, but each time I've had desserts with my dining companions, they were dry and needed some sugar! I don't like overly sweet or overdone dessert, but I feel it's an area that really could use some improvement.
This restaurant is definitely baby friendly! The waitress was even giving my son a little back rub! There is also a play section for kids to play once they're done with their meals. Clementine's has great food at a great price too.
Clementine has a very comfortable atmosphere with casual dining. Both times I went, brunch and dinner, we were greeted with, "hello friends". The server was amazing and I wish I could remember her name. They have a large variety of wine and beer along with other alcoholic beverages. The food is absolutely outstanding. It's food that would be served in a 5 star restaurant. I felt like I was eating something from the shows on Food Network. Of course, you don't pay what you would at a 5 star restaurant. They change their menu daily due to the fact they use so many fresh ingredients. I would recommend Clementine to a friend, neighbor, grandparent, or a total stranger. Awesome place with awesome food.
They had a pretty impressive drink menu and most of their beers were inexpensive. We got the mac & cheese as a starter which was delicious. I ordered a baked chicken entrée with gouda mashed potatoes and green beans, my friend ordered the meat loaf which came with the same sides. We both loved our meals. The chicken was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Juicy with crispy skin. For some reason a different server came over to take our dessert order, even though our server was still on duty. That was a bit strange, especially when our server didn't know and he seemed a bit miffed. But I have no complaints about service. For dessert I ordered the coconut cake. They had an awesome dessert selection. I will definitely go back.
Clementine has two sections, which are both very nice - a beautiful dining area more suitable for date night/ adult dinners and a great room that caters more to families, complete with a couch and toy area. The food is fantastic and very fresh. They utilize a lot of local produce and meats. The service is great. Kind, caring, quality servers. We have been here for a date night and a family night with our 1 year old. Both were perfect, special evenings. Enjoy!
Took my family that was in from out of town to Brunch and everyone enjoyed it. I was especially impressed, when my elderly mother was upset that her Belgium waffles had maple syrup on it )which was not mentioned on the menu and she does not like) and the waitress was very kind and exchanged it for her.
Enjoyed the atmosphere and was just nice to sit and relax and enjoy the food and good service.
The place is lovely, the food is great (the charcuterie is fantastic), but the real standout is the teamwork among the incredibly pleasant grownups on the staff. We will definitely return.
I ordered the Korean Hot Pot, and it was creative, fresh and delicious!
The restaurant always has a great menu and follows through with consistently great food.
This restaurant has a wonderfully global offering for brunch. My husband had the fresh duck hash and I was torn between the Korean hot pot or the indian breakfast. The elvis waffles were light and delicious. We will definitely return next time we are in Baltimore.
have been telling a co-worker from virginia(I work in dc)about area restaurants. we decided on clemintines. they enjoyed it as i always do
This is a perfect place for dinner or brunch if you want to stay away from downtown in Baltimore. The menu is interesting, has a lot of local food and homemade charcuterie, and the execution usually right on. This time, we werE out of the brunch window, I guess, and a side of sausages was stone cold ( but cooked). They.make fabulous drinks and have a good wine and beer selection. The service is excellent.
Unique dishes served in an eclectic dining room- Clementine is like no other in Baltimore. We started our meal with their very special house-made charcueterie plate followed with a fantastic pecan crusted scallops (sauce was proclaimed "crazy good") and NY Strip steak. Sweets looked great, but we were just too full from our fantastic meals. All ingredients are sourced locally and incorporated in a sophisticated way into everything they do (pumpkin puree in the bourbon cocktail- wow!) We'll be returning and I definitely recommend you give this place a try. Unlike anything else in town!
We both greatly enjoyed our dinner at Clementines. We had the duck breast and the pork chop. Both were cooked perfectly. What we liked best is the menu is different from the usual offerings. The duck breast came with a hash of autumn vegetables and a spiced cranberry coulis. The pork chop came with gouda mashed potatoes and braised kale. Our plates were beautiful. Service was attentive but not overly so. The only complaint I have is that all the seats are hard and some tables have benches instead of chairs. It was not noisy when we were there but we went early. I imagine when the restaurant is full the noise level would be high because of the bare floor and no tablecloths or seat cushions. We can't wait to return.
love this place. Had gone only for brunch before but dinner was fabulous. All the meals ordered by our party were tasty. Participants in the farm to table movement. Drink are fabulous - wine list is small but very well done. One of the great stops in Bmore Hon!
One of my favorite restaurants in Baltimore. I don't make the "trip" too often since it requires getting in the car and driving, but when I do go to Clementine I always absolutely love it! Delicious, locally sourced food and drinks and always friendly and informative service. Clementine manages to be both relaxed and elegant, so you really can't go wrong with choosing this restaurant for any occasion!
I knew Clementine was known for its charcuterie, and the charcuterie was amazing, but really everything we ordered was just great. The menu called their niche "fancy comfort food" and I think that's a good description, even if the pheasant wasn't like anything Mom used to make! I went with my parents and my grandmothers, and though the menu was a little intimidating to them the food itself was not. The desserts in particular were very homey, but in the best possible way. One of the best meals I've had in a long time!
This place is truly a hidden gem in Hamilton. This is the 2nd time my girlfriend and I have dined mid-week here for dinner, and we're always seated right away and are served promptly. The service is fun and energetic and the food is BY FAR my favorite when it comes to dining out. Although the prices are a little on the steep side, it's TOTALLY worth it every few weeks. Their homemade sodas, such as sparkling rosemary lemonade or their lime basil mix are worth getting 2 or 3 of. Try some of their Zeke's coffee, as well! I can't say enough good things about this place, and each time I've been here, I leave looking forward to the next time I'll visit. The menu changes often, which is a huge plus. I'm thinking that we're trying breakfast next.
Even though we live across town, we love to eat at Clementine. Everything, from the food to service to environment is always great. Our latest trip was for Father's day and it was the perfect place! Our reservation near the end of their serving hours meant they were out of many things, however, we were able to find menu items that worked, even for our Gluten-Free diner, and we all left satisfied.
It has been a couple of months since we've been to Clementine, and we are delighted to make it back. We ate on a Sunday evening and had a terrific meal. Servers were friendly and knew the menu really well. Charcuterie plate is a highlight, but everything was delicious. I hope that the Duck Niçoise salad sticks around for awhile. Thank you, Clementine!

loyola MAROON LOYOLA UNIVERSITY NEW ORLEANS FEBRUARY 11, 1977 VOL. LI 11 1M0.15 How fire-safe is the Loyola campus? By Patricia Watt About 1:30 last Saturday morning, a fire broke out at Pierce Butler Hall, a women's dormitory at Tulane University. Evacuation of the building was prompt, in spite of the fact that some of the main fire exits were blocked by the blaze. Only a few minor injuries were reported. If this had happened at Loyola, how well would we be prepared for this kind of emergency? Luckily for the residents of Butler, fire drills are a regular part of dorm life at Tulane,. The residence halls here have not had any fire drills in the last eight months. At least not since Edgar J. Maxwell, Jr., director of housing, has been here. He plans to initiate them in the very near future. Fire drills have failed in the past because of the number of false alarms that are turned in every semester, Maxwell said. "Students could become so complacent hearing all these false alarms that they could just turn over and go back to sleep during a real fire," Maxwell said. For the most part, students have stopped paying attention to the fire alarms altogether, according to Maxwell. Students have filled several alarm boxes with glue in order to keep from constantly being disturbed by false alarms. The glue prevents the alarm from ringing. Maxwell plans to put an end to false alarms by completely evacuating students from a building every time an alarm goes off. "The building will be emptied every time the alarm is pulled," Maxwell said. He said by doing this, students who are inconvenienced by the false alarms will put pressure on these "immature people." "People who are turning in false alarms aren't just putting their own lives in danger, but the lives of everybody on the floor." Resident assistants in the dorms attend a workshop every August, just before the dorms open in he fall. Last year, the New Orleans fire marshall gave a demonstration on the proper use of the fire extinguishers. The RA's also' learned about fire regulations and safety procedures. They are responsible for clearing the halls in case of fire. The RA's are also required to teach dorm residents what to do in case of such an emergency. This is supposed to be covered in the first section meeting of every semester. However, Aleada Lee, a junior living in Buddig, says she has not heard anything about fire procedures since she was a first semester freshman. Ann Leßlanc, also a resident of Buddig, says the resident assistant on her floor did cover the fire safety rules in their first section meeting last semester. Brian Falato, a Biever resident, when questioned about what was done in his section meeting, replied,"All we did was discuss all the activities we had planned, and tell people not to throw firecrackers on the carpet because it was our property and we would student? pay for it. Of the 36 people on the floor only 12 showed up." According to Maxwell, the RA's have not demonstrated the proper use of the fire extinguishers in their meetings. Maxwell said they are not required to do so. According to fire department regulations, here should be a fire extinguisher for every 2,500 square feet. These should be checked once a year. The maintenance department has a regular schedule to check all extinguishers on campus within that period of time. A spot check revealed that maintenance seems to be keeping up to date on this job. However one extinguisher in Marquette, two in Bobet, one in Stallings, and another in the Military Science building have not been checked since July of 1975. The biggest problem with the extinguishers is that many people have no idea where to find them. The basement of Danna Center is especially bad. The most often heard reply to "where is your fire extinguisher?" is "gosh, it's got to be around here somewhere." Fire Prevention Inspector Edward Ritter of the New Orleans Fire Department says that wooden buildings are required to have adequate fire extinguishers and two exits. Class A building, constructed of brick or cement, must have enclosed stairwells, two clearly marked exits, and a conspicuous fire alarm system. Most of the buildings on campus are Class A. Sprinkler systems are not required by law in buildings of this type. According to Manuel Vega, Director of the Physical Plant, the fire department has expressed some concern that there are no sprinklers in any of the campus buildings Any building over 50 feet tall must have a system of stand pipes and hoses on each floor and in the stairwells between floors. A check of campus buildings showed that fire extinguishers were included with the fire hoses. All fire exits must be plainly marked and stairwells should be kept clear at all times. On the second floor of Buddig, three of the exit signs were found to be defective due to vandalism, a grocery shopping cart was parked in the stairwell, and a bicycle in the exit. The Fire Department tries to inspect all buildings once a year. Due to a shortage of manpower, it may go as long as 16 months between inspections. School officials are not warned beforehand that the fire department will be visiting the campus. Other hazards the fire department looks for are improper storage of laboratory chemicals, paint and other flammable material. Hlectrical wiring can also be potentially dangerous. The rooms in Biever have a built-in fire hazard . When the building was constructed, an electrical outlet was placed in the floor under the window of each room. When the floors are mopped, water seeps down into the outlet and rots the insulation on the wiring. Maintenance has been closing the outlets as, they short out. So far, nothing has been done about inspecting those still in operation, at least as far as Dave Maybury, resident director of Biever, knows. With the recent Tulane fire, it is wondered whether or not Loyob * prepared for fire. Dorm rates to increase $70 effective next semester Dorm students will be paying an extra $70 per year for double-occupancy rooms next year. The increase, recently approved bytthe University Board of Directors, pushes room rates for women's double-occupancy rooms to $796 from $726 and rates for men's double-occupancy rooms to $746 from $676. According to Ed Maxwell, director of housing, most of the increase is due to increased utility rates. "All utility rates have gone up," Maxwell said, "water, gas, everything. There are many contributing factors, but that is the m ain factor." Maxwell said students could keep down the cost of utilities in their rooms by "cutting off lights if you're not in the room." The $70 increase in room rates is about a 10 per cent increase over this year's rate. A check of housing at other universities in the New Orleans area showed that Loyola is still in line with Tulane and Dominican in housing costs. For example, housing at Tulane ranges in price from $750 to $825 per year. Dominican.'s rates are about $1,400 per year, but that includes room and board.

Okay so I tried to do some research on this before posting and all I can really find is threads of people 'talking' about how it doesn't work well or how they don't like it but I can't find any direct information to exactly 'what it is."
Can anyone explain to me what analogue controls are? From my experiences can I benefit from this? My current controllers I use are:
Head Tracking: TrackIR 5 for head-tracking.
Controller for Driving: Razer Onza Tournament Edition Xbox 360 controller for driving vehicles, it feels a bit better than the mouse and keyboard and offers force feedback.
Thrust-master T-Flight Hotas X flight simulator joystick for helicopters and jets. (Still trying to setup perfectly.)
Keyboard + mouse for on foot infantry operations ect.
So currently from my experiences, I set the 360 controller to a default customization layout they had in the game. It allows all the buttons to be setup without me having to adjust them, but also locks them down so I cannot change them. Honestly this is okay with me as I can drive fine with TrackIr 5 to look around.
The flight simulator stick I use comes with a side thrust hand thing. So I guess you can decrease thrust and increase thrust. I currently just used the increase and decrease thrust and not the analogue controls section as I don't know what they are for.
When I am in a helicopter for example, and my thrust pad is centered, it in fact keeps the heli centered. When I press the thrust up a bit, about 1/4 I begin to climb in altitude very slowly and can center out moving my hand pad back to center. Also if I force the thrust pad all the way forward (4/4) I climb in altitude very quickly and mimicks the Q key.
What is the point of analogue controls and why do I need them?

In September, IIE announced that it is launching a new course designed to train Ministry officials and university representatives in Myanmar on how to create and manage an effective international education office. The new course, "Connecting to the World: International Relations for Higher Education Institutions," will be an "essential step to enable universities in Myanmar to connect with institutions in the United States and other countries so that they can build institutional capacity and prepare their students to meet current workforce needs and support rapid economic development." This project is part of a broader IIE Myanmar higher education initiative which seeks to help the country rebuild its higher education capacity.
According to the London-based investment bank IBIS Capital, the global education market is now worth $4.4 trillion. And the latest numbers from OECD suggest that approximately 4.3 million students are now studying outside their home country. What does this mean for international education and how will it affect our work?
Higher education institutions, educational organizations, and governments around the world are continuously looking for new ways to engage internationally and to keep their academic institutions relevant and competitive. Funding organizations and governments are investing substantial resources in international education, and are seeking to identify new areas to support.
Reflections on the 2012 World Innovation Summit in Doha
The annual World Innovation Summit on Education—known as WISE—is a unique, multi-sectoral education conference. It brings together stakeholders from primary, secondary, and higher education, government, corporations and technology companies, NGOs, and—critically—students. And it is one of the most global education events I've ever been to: 1,200 participants from more than 100 countries.
Last week, IIE co-hosted one of our occasional "IIENetwork National Conference Calls," which bring together colleagues from around the world to discuss key topics that affect international higher education. The call was developed by IIE in partnership with JP Morgan and focused on "Models for Expanding U.S. Universities' Global Presence: Strategic and Financial Issues." More than 160 senior financial and administrative leaders and Chief International Officers from colleges and universities across the United States dialed in for this call.
Daniel Obst is Deputy Vice President of International Partnerships at the Institute of International Education. He is also the Director of IIE's Center for International Partnerships in Higher Education.
For more than nine decades, the Institute of International Education has been at the forefront of international education. The Opening Minds blog is IIE's take on how this field continues to change. Here the Institute's leaders will explore international educational exchange, global student mobility, institutional partnerships, international development, and other topics and trends that are shaping higher education around the world.

Progress to report.
Its investments and some -- the clean energy to -- hundreds of thousands of jobs and -- we get from wind and solar energy.
Patients instead of the one that we -- fuel economy for passenger cars like point one -- Cut greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles.
There's more than 8000 dollars and plus the -- it's been in sixteen years.
I'm an average two point six million fewer barrels we'll -- patrolling products every day.
Are you are you an environmentalist for Obama well if you were -- you already know that that is the tailor made message that the president -- for his constituency of environmentalists.
-- Administration's efforts these are these solar panels wind turbines electric cars and all of that good stuff.
And this is how are quite welcome back Internet and here's the problem.
For the president as it relates his reelection campaign in the environment.
We were just talking in the previous segment about.
Slice and dice.
Micro targeted strategy that they're using one of those subgroups of the president is very interested in keeping a hold of or environmentalist he wants and giving money he wants them involved he wants them active.
But at the same time in his outreach especially in the Rust Belt in states that were very tough.
For the Democrats in 2010.
He doesn't want to be seen as a guy who is some sort of an environmental crusader it's a tough spot so let's see how it's going to affect.
That -- presidential election helping us to do that welcome back -- -- now he's -- former spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee he was right hand guy to Chris van Holland he's democratic strategist and again we'll -- -- treated with Mary -- and dvd.
Also PPD is Ford O'Connell he's chairman of -- -- back if Republican strategist.
They both love America out what makes the show gentlemen.
Great to be here always great to be okay good he's one -- she was always OK guys so the question is this.
And buster was you don't get so the president is trying to hit the sweet spot here.
The EPA.
Not really helping him out because he's trying to say.
Here's a sensible approach he's gonna fight global warming but he's gonna do it in ways that are bad for the economy my and then this guy from the -- you remember this guy that comes out and says that he's a Roman century and -- defying.
Oil and gas corporation spread because the president hit this week's -- Well I think the president hasn't has a pretty good record on the environment also on energy I mean that the attacks from the right on the EPA and -- on the president's environmental record are kind of things that aren't surprising it's something that that Republican -- been doing for quite a long time.
To -- you look at the president's record though compared to George Bush at a very similar point in time in there in their administrations.
Bush actually is approved 5% more.
Regulations in the president so.
-- and that's a Bloomberg study that was done several months ago is that true yeah I had a right here 5% more does it quite a visit qualifier -- by the -- because.
Maybe he was rewriting existing regulations is that possible well I mean it was.
Did the study looked at overall regulations they looked at.
And they looked at also the effect on the economy I think the other thing about the EPA to remember.
Is that you offer a -- movement there once upon a time the EPA was not some demonize -- and I want -- read your quote.
Which says.
-- yeah I thought it.
That I -- -- that -- is preservation of our environment is not a liberal or conservative challenge its common sense.
Though this is -- time the budget constraints I -- requested for EPA one of the largest percentage budget increases of any agency.
Guess -- that was Ronald Reagan video never ordered it's okay here's my only point I think first of all if you look at although the at the end I think that if you look at.
What the president has done on the environment it's a good record on fuel efficiency standards.
On drilling you know we're joined more than we ever have but.
He -- have to thread a needle with places like Ohio and Michigan and make it look as though that it is -- is I think it is.
Romney has has an issue with suburban voters and women who really do like protecting environment so I think it's and it's going to be -- it's going to be a juggling act.
Yeah energy is going to be the president's Achilles heel if he loses in November.
Because some of his environmental regulations are actually causing the -- our guest works okay that's gases -- to just update now radio.
Let's just say four dollars just for the sake of port through it will simulate 387.
Exactly going down it's going to -- -- well.
Taxes and basically environment regulations and finding regulations -- -- that can only sense you know they're in the gas price market -- whether or not people eat.
Okay and also -- regulations are hurting small business so frankly people don't see your way out of their current situation the presence gonna wind up losing because he's really basically pushing.
-- form of environment environmental -- Why I -- fellow of environmental.
There I think -- and I lose and Ronald Reagan may have been doing the same so.
I think -- the larger issues you're right energy is going to be a big debate point during this campaign I think if you look at the overall economy if if you look at the last two years four point one million private sector jobs 25 straight months of from a private sector job growth you among many of the jobs that -- lost over the course administration weren't due to regulation.
But -- give him.
-- if you if you would allow me outer I would say this.
And -- wanna get your reaction you have a president who who consistently in polls.
-- registered voters in this.
I do Wall Street Journal Washington -- there's broad agreement on this point something like 40% of the electorate thinks that he's too liberal.
-- and they they attach that to him.
And at -- time of economic uncertainty and the president himself said it in the Rolling Stone interview where he said look people quit caring about global warming.
Because they couldn't find a job and those those attitudes are luxury attitudes that you can have if you have a good income.
Should the president.
Deal with this EPA -- the -- fire -- fire him should he do something about the EPA to make a statement in Ohio to make a statement in Michigan and Wisconsin Pennsylvania say.
I'm taking this seriously and I don't want any bad actors -- -- when he wrote it.
So yes in the last I think in September he there was a small rule -- -- those going to affect and he stopped that.
You know he has approved a number of different drilling -- so you know I think I think that he -- look the key thing for the president thinks he's going to be able he's gonna have to -- balanced.
His his commitment to.
To protecting the environment -- sending a message to folks in Pennsylvania and Ohio and other parts of the country where coal and oil are reportedly just let me -- All are important and and so that they're comfortable with his positions right now I don't see that there.
And we gotta you gotta you gotta fire because basically people aren't that you know you say Michelle yeah people think that the president isn't doing everything he can do in this sort of statement writer long goes to that sort of notion and Martin the American voter and basically small lineup -- exactly what here's the thing I actually don't agree with the fact that the public is blaming the president right now for high gas prices I think there's going going all out now they are not -- it depends on really what poll you look at.
And it's not affecting his approval rating and he if you he could be happy if -- if gas prices were lower he might be at that everything is he would be 53 gives right now I'm just telling you -- -- that he was doing everything he can do is his numbers I don't think it I don't think anyone thinks that and everyone that people in Washington are doing everything they.
Think that it felt that if I -- as though we we will also stimulate Internet that you don't think we're doing a very good job here in town we know that guy that's why we try harder here on power -- guys I stick around Israel and take a quick break there when we come back we're gonna talk about the -- of labor unions.
As we reach an inflection point in the battle between organized -- the Republicans and Democrats all of that good stuff so stick around.

Everyone had heard of the tale of the wanderer. The 16 Colossi he had slain in the Forbidden Lands to bring back a loved one. Dormin being sealed away for the second time after 'borrowing" the wanderers body.
The Forbidden Lands were inaccessible ever since the 16 had been slain and the leader of the wandering people had destroyed the bridge. Or so everyone thought...
A new bridge has arisen from the canyon the previous bridge was created. A new passageway to the Forbidden Lands and along with it 16 new Colossi which also meant something: Dormin was back.
For the first time in hundreds of years: the ritual had begun again.
"Thy next foe is..."
Yes! Hello everybody! My name is XkatX, in case you didn't find out already. This is my first time creating an RP, and I thought to myself, "what would be fun and awesome?" Why, Shadow of the Colossus has answered my thoughts!
Now, as the title states, this is in fact a Shadow of the Colossus RP. If you haven't played the game, which I reccomend, the game is bloody awesome, I suggest you visit the Team ICO Wiki. Take your time.
As I have stated, this is the first time I have been a GM for a RP and the first time I have created one, so a slot for Co-GM will probably be filled by...Somebody. I don't know. my Co-GM is Mr/Mrs. Luna Star! Yay!
Now, this RP can't have too many people, sadly. Probably only 3-4 people. If those 3-4 people appear out of nowhere, the OOC shall be made because people have took interest! Hurraaaah!
1: As most RP's have this rule, this will be no exception. NO. GODMODDING. I cannot stress this enough. Godmodding can get you kicked from this RP.
2: This will be a free RP, so one liners are allowed. However, I am hoping for atleast 2 sentences.
3: Romance might be allowed, but please, nothing over PG13. Anything like sex or that stuff should be fade to black or kept to PM's.
Again, this is my first RP that I have GMed, so a Co-GM can be expected. If somebody wants to take that role, just ask and we can sort the stuff out.
This is a Shadow of the Colossus RP, so rather than striking at a Colossus's feet over and over again, we're gonna have to climb the monster and strike its weak points.
I'm not going to be part of the main cast of characters. My character will be the character needing to be ressurected by the ritual(like Mono in the game.) and I will be controlling the various Colossi.
So, yeah...If you haven't clicked out, good for you, you have become my friend and you have no choice in this matter.
"Thy next foe is..."

From Cuba to Iraq?
Is the US about to transfer its captives from the Guantanamo prison in Cuba to the notorious Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq?
U.S. President Barack Obama has announced that he will soon close the special prison constructed under the Bush administration in the isolated American outpost of Guantanamo Bay in Cuba. Before, the Bush officials argued to prevent the closing of this prison because they did not want to allow the prisoners to enter the United States, where they would be entitled to the protection of the U.S. law. This would require the government to allow them to have lawyers, to protect them from torture, and to try them by judges and not by military tribunals.
Because the U.S. does not want to have the prisoners in America, but must evacuate them from Cuba, they are now actively looking for other places in the world to which it can send these 'special' prisoners. American diplomats have already started checking this with countries in Europe and elsewhere.
In the latest development, it has now been learnt that the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq will be reopened. The prison became one of the most famous prisons in history because of the way in which American soldiers there abused of Iraqi prisoners. Now it is to be operated by the Iraqi military as part of a secret deal with the American authorities.
Many in Iraq are worried that the US will transfer Iraqi prisoners to Abu Ghraib simply in order to say they are not responsible for them any more, while inside the walls of the prison these prisoners will be abused and tortured as before. But there is also the possibility that the hidden prisoners will not just be from Iraq.
Now, there is a new question on everyone's lips: Will the dark stain that is known as Abu Ghraib be the new home to the atrocities known as Guantanamo?

Abstract: The charge transfer between metals and some solution-cast polymers has been investigated by employing intermittent soft contact under a controlled condition. The result of our measurements reveals that the measured charge is unaffected by our attempt at purifying the polymer samples and so we conclude that the charge transfer is an intrinsic property of the polymers. The histogram of the charge distribution for all the polymers studied is not Gaussian but skewed towards larger charges. The metal work function influences the charge transfer to the polymer except polyvinyl chloride, which behaves as Teflon, already reported in our earlier work.

I'm still on the hunt for a decent first surfboard, I would love a longboard but don't think it's going to easy to get a good one for a cheapish price, plus I need roofbars etc, so think I will save up for one as my second board.
There is one of these Tiki Superfly fish going second hand not too far from me, for about £130, what do you think as a first board? I'm 5'2, 10 stone.
dimensions are 6'6 x 21" x 2 3/4", sound good?

EAST COAST -- Forecasters at offices throughout the Northeast have been monitoring the situation for days now. They've been in constant contact with emergency management officials.
In a report issued earlier this month, the Weather Service was criticized by government officials about the way Tropical Storm Irene's potential impact was communicated to the public.
Meteorologists say they know what they need to do better.
Warning Coordination Meteorologist Steve DiRienzo said, "Last year we underestimated the strength of the storm, so it was hard. I don't think we told people how bad it was going to be. A lot of people said, we didn't know it was going to be that bad. That was partly our fault. Partly because we didn't know it was going to be that bad. So we've taken it to heart that as soon as we see indications of impacts that are going to be severe, we're going to get the word out and be very strongly-worded statements to let people know what is going to happen."
Forecasters say that while most computer models take the worst of Sandy southwest of our area, everyone should monitor this storm as anything can happen over the next 72 hours.
NEW YORK STATE -- Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a State of Emergency in New York in preparation for the potential impact of Hurricane Sandy.
As the storm makes its way to New York, Cuomo is coordinating statewide preps. He has ordered the state's Emergency Operations Center in Albany to remain open 24 hours a day.
The state government is also communicating with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the National Weather Service.
Cuomo is urging New Yorkers to plan for hurricane conditions and to keep a close eye on news reports in order to stay updated on Sandy. He says the state learned a lot from Irene and doesn't want to take any chances this time around.
"We had not seen damage like that or some people have never seen damage like that. It wasn't predicted frankly, we didn't know anything like that was coming. So it has given me a healthy respect for Mother Nature and we are doing everything we can to be prepared," Cuomo said.
Cuomo has also asked President Obama for a pre-landfall disaster declaration, which would allow for state access to funds and FEMA resources to prepare.
Due to the impending storm, the Governor's conference on Emergency Preparedness scheduled for October 29th and 30th in Albany is being postponed
NEW YORK -- The MTA is monitoring Hurricane Sandy, which poses a threat of high winds and heavy rain. That would make it unsafe to operate subway, bus, and railroad lines, as well as to allow vehicles on the MTA's seven bridges and two tunnels.
The MTA said it will shut down services to ensure both customers and employees are safe.
Visit mta.info for more information.
MASSACHUSETTS -- Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is urging residents to be prepared.
Patrick says lessons learned from previous storms are helping them prepare for this storm. He says while the full impact of Sandy is uncertain at this point, there are things people can do to minimize damage.
"Some things important to do around your homes: Trim back trees that are touching the house, shrubbery around the house, remove diseased or damage tree limbs that could be blown down and cause damage in the event of the high winds we're expecting," Patrick said.
Patrick went on to say clearing rain gutters can go a long way in preventing flooding.
NEW YORK STATE -- Capital Tonight's Liz Benjamin spoke with Jerome Hauer, the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services Commissioner. He says emergency workers are ready to respond to whatever the storm may bring and there's already a plan in place should evacuations become necessary in upstate communities.
Hauer said, "We have a pretty good line of communications and the cooperation's been great. And we've been talking about the potential impact, what resources they would need if in fact they did evacuations, open shelters, and all of that is lined up if it's needed."
Hauer is urging people to not become complacent about the storm and to heed any and all warnings issued by emergency officials.
The Humane Society of the United States is advising pet owners to prepare their pets for the possible storm. Officials there say all pets should be brought inside to a safe place where they will be protected and away from windows.
Pet owners are also urged to prepare an emergency kit for each animal in your home. It should include:
The Humane Society is also asking pet owners to remember that if the space is not safe for you, it is not safe for your pet.
