(CNN) -- In a 400-175 vote Tuesday, British MPs approved the second reading of a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. The bill will be up for further debate in the House of Commons, but Tuesday's vote indicated a significant majority of members support the measure. In order to become law, the bill has to clear further parliamentary hurdles, including a vote in the House of Lords.

Storm rally for split with Trojans
MANLIUS – The Bureau Valley Storm rallied late – and big time – for a 5-4 win over the Mendota Trojans in the first game of a doubleheader Saturday. Mendota took the second game 7-1.
Thus, these two eventual fellow regional participants split two games before heading to the postseason together in a couple weeks at Oregon High School.
"The first game was a Senior Day for us," BV coach Jon Matlick said. "And it was nice for us in the second game to get the kids that normally don't get a lot of playing time, a nice opportunity for them to get in and have a chance to show what they have.

"Every Star Is Different," Children's Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 142–43
1. Ev'ry star is diff'rent,
And so is ev'ry child.
Some are bright and happy,
And some are meek and mild.
Ev'ry one is needed
For just what he can do.
You're the only person
Who ever can be you.
A shining star, shining brightly,
Not so very far, shining brightly;
Be a shining star. Shine so brightly;
Shine right where you are, brightly!
2. I can shine for others
And let them feel my love,
Follow the commandments
That come from God above.
I can help another
To learn to choose the right.
Having faith and courage
Will let my star shine bright.

I love every aspect of the Dora dollhouse. It's provided countless house of quiet play for my 18 month old and 3 and a half year old. Few toys span their ages, but this one meets the mark. The only downside of my 18 month old playing, is that Perrito (the dog) is a choking hazard. However, he's my 3-year-old's favorite part. The figurines and house are high quality, durable plastic, that has survived one too many falls in our house. But my favorite part? IT FOLDS FLAT! The genius who designed this toy somehow configured it so that the back of the house folds up for easy storage, and the stairs detach. Incredible. As soon as we're done playing, it stores right under the couch...so we can sit on it and watch Dora.

This is a very cute dollhouse for dora lovers, but it's very flimsy i got it for my daughter for christmas she's 2 years old and already it has fallen on her twice. The way they made it to be able to easily fold it and put it away is the reason why it falls over when it's played with. Along the linein the middle of the house where it's folded to close, that part sinks in a little so the floors of the house are not leveled this also causes all the furniture to fall over. Any tiny bit of pressure you put on it on the back of the house makes it fall over it's very upsetting because it was an expensive gift made horribly. I assure you if you buy this it will happen too you too and toysrus does not refund you your money back because the box is opened.

The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government and is designed to "increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries." With this goal as a starting point, the Fulbright Program has provided almost 310,000 participants—chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns.
Program History
The Fulbright Program was established in 1946 under legislation introduced by then-Senator J. William Fulbright of Arkansas. The Fulbright Program is sponsored by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
The Fulbright Program awards approximately 8,000 grants annually. Roughly 1,600 U.S. students, 4,000 foreign students, 1,200 U.S. scholars, and 900 visiting scholars receive awards, in addition to several hundred teachers and professionals. Approximately 310,000 "Fulbrighters" have participated in the Program since its inception in 1946. Currently, the Fulbright Program operates in over 155 countries worldwide.
Program Funding
The primary source of funding for the Fulbright Program is an annual appropriation made by the United States Congress to the Department of State. Participating governments and host institutions in foreign countries and in the United States also contribute financially through cost-sharing and indirect support, such as salary supplements, tuition waivers and university housing.
The Congressional appropriation for the Fulbright Program in fiscal year 2010 was $253.8 million. Foreign governments, through binational commissions or foundations abroad, contributed approximately $60 million directly to the Program.
Program Administration
The Fulbright Program is administered by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs of the United States Department of State under policy guidelines established by the J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board (FSB) and in cooperation with a number of private organizations.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs develops policies to ensure fulfillment of the purposes of the Fulbright Program and administers the Program with the assistance of binational commissions and foundations in 50 countries, U.S. embassies in more than 100 other countries and a number of cooperating agencies in the United States.
The J. William Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board, composed of 12 educational and public leaders appointed by the President of the United States, formulates policies for the administration of the Program, establishes criteria for the selection of candidates and approves candidates nominated for awards.
Binational commissions and foundations abroad propose the annual country programs, which establish the numbers and categories of grants based on input from local institutions. In a country without a commission or foundation, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy develops and supervises the Fulbright Program. Currently, 50 commissions are active, 47 of which are funded jointly by the United States and the respective government. Each commission or foundation has a board, which is composed of an equal number of Americans and citizens of the participating nation.
Some Fulbright programs are administered directly by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. Others are administered with the assistance of cooperating agencies. (Contact addresses and telephone numbers for each cooperating agency are provided on page five of this fact sheet.) Foreign citizens interested in the Fulbright Program should contact the Fulbright Commission or Foundation in their home country or, where no commission exists, the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy.
Fulbright Grant Categories
The term "Fulbright Program" encompasses a variety of exchange programs, including both individual and institutional grants. For further information, please visit http://fulbright.state.gov/.
The Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program sends approximately 1,100 American scholars and professionals per year to approximately 125 countries, where they lecture and/or conduct research in a wide variety of academic and professional fields.
The Fulbright Specialist Program, a short-term complement to the core Fulbright Scholar Program, sends U.S. faculty and professionals to serve as expert consultants on curriculum, faculty development, institutional planning and related subjects at overseas academic institutions for a period of 2 to 6 weeks.
The Fulbright Visiting Scholar Program provides grants to approximately 800 foreign scholars from over 95 countries to lecture and/or conduct postdoctoral research at U.S. institutions for an academic semester to a full academic year.
The Fulbright Scholar-in-Residence (SIR) Program enables U.S. colleges and universities to host foreign academics to lecture on a wide range of subject fields for a semester or academic year. Preference is given to institutions developing an international agenda and/or serving a minority audience, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic Serving Institutions, Tribal Colleges, small liberal arts colleges and community colleges. Approximately 50 grants are awarded annually.

The Fulbright Visiting Specialist Program: Direct Access to the Muslim World, was a component of the Visiting Scholar Program that helped U.S. higher education institutions and communities enrich their understanding of Islamic civilization and culture as well as the social, political and economic developments in the Muslim world. Scholars were matched with U.S. institutions for a period of 3 to 6 weeks, lectured or taught short courses, assisted with program and curriculum development, interact with students and participated in public outreach programs with community groups, local schools and civic organizations.
The new Fulbright Interfaith Community Action Program was designed to foster the development of more peaceful and productive dialogue and action across religious and cultural boundaries. The scholars engage in a semester-long U.S. exchange experience that includesd collaborative learning centered on interfaith and intercultural dialogue and collaboration.
The Fulbright New Century Scholars global program brought together groups of approximately 30 outstanding research scholars and professionals from the U.S. and other participating countries. Participants were selected through an open competition to conduct multi-disciplinary research on a global theme. Aimed at bringing new depth and visibility to the core program, the Fulbright New Century Scholar Program supported interdisciplinary, collaborative research across borders. As of November 2010, no new topic is planned. For more information, visit this web site at a later date or contact program staff.

Safe Haven
Before the Civil Rights Act, African-American travelers found a warm welcome in Kittery Point.
By Deborah McDermott
Images Milne Special Collections, University of New Hampshire Libraries
Clayton Sinclair, Jr., was a skinny teenager headed down a troubled path when his mother, eager to get him off the New York City streets, sent him to live with his father and stepmother in their guesthouse on Kittery Point in 1949. It was, the retired Atlanta lawyer says today, "the best thing my mother ever did for me."
Rock Rest, the inn operated by Hazel and Clayton Sinclair out of their home, played host to doctors, lawyers, teachers, and other well-educated guests who engaged one another in stimulating conversation while enjoying delicious food in the formal dining room. "By just talking with them, I got a bigger world view," Sinclair says. One frequent visitor, a lawyer, took a special interest in Sinclair's education. He even attended the young man's graduations from Traip Academy in Kittery and the University of Maine. "Meeting him gave me the extra push," Sinclair says. "He was very instrumental in my decision to go to law school."
The inspiration that Sinclair took from Rock Rest's clientele is all the more understandable considering the inn's unusual niche: it catered exclusively to middle-class African Americans at a time when segregation was both covertly and, in some places, overtly the law of the land. African-American travelers could not lodge just anywhere when they were tired or eat just anywhere when they were hungry, but at Rock Rest, they were treated with dignity and respect.
No wonder, then, that local historians and members of the seacoast region's small African-American community wanted to preserve Rock Rest's legacy when Clayton Jr. decided last year to sell the house he had inherited from Hazel. With his blessing, they offered Rock Rest's contents to the planned National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C.
Intrigued by the proposal, William Pretzer, the Smithsonian Institution's senior curator for history, hopped onto a flight to Maine. And when he walked into Rock Rest, he knew he'd found a treasure. Everything — the fine china, the polished silverware, even the badminton racquets — were right where Hazel had left them when she died in 1995.
"This is the largest group of domestic furnishings the museum has collected on one place," says Pretzer, who took most of the house's contents back to Washington, D.C. (Construction of the National Museum of African American History and Culture is set to begin in 2012, with an opening planned for 2015. For details, visit nmaahc.si.edu.) The furnishings from Rock Rest, Pretzer explained, provide a window into the working-class African-American home of the mid-twentieth century and, more importantly, the culture of the tourist home in pre-desegregation America. "This is an under-researched area of African-American history," Pretzer says. "We believe that there are many more places like Rock Rest than are currently known."
Hazel and Clayton Sinclair's guest home was located on Route 103, a narrow, winding road that hugs the Kittery Point shoreline, offering stunning views of Portsmouth Harbor interspersed with piney woods and houses. In the 1940s and '50s, the peninsula was dotted with hardscrabble farms, fishermen's homes, and a handful of grand summer mansions.
Then, as now, Kittery was no different than any other town in the state of Maine, in at least one regard: Its population was predominantly white. (From 1764 to 2000, African Americans comprised less than 1 percent of the state's population, according to author Gerald Talbot's Maine's Visible Black History. Today 1.2 percent of Maine's population is black.) In fact, Hazel and Clayton Sinclair, who bought Rock Rest in 1938, were well known as the only blacks in Kittery Point for decades.
Like many of their peers, the Sinclairs came to Maine as hired help. Hazel worked as an upstairs maid and cook for a New York City family who summered in York. Clayton was a chauffeur for the family of novelist and literary critic William Dean Howells, who had a waterfront estate in Kittery Point.
Those who knew Hazel say she loved Maine's rocky coast, sea breezes, and rural pace. "She was a very smart woman," says Angela Booker, whose mother was Hazel's cousin. "She had a lot of business sense. She was very level-headed, and she knew what she wanted out of life."
A high school graduate, Hazel was also extraordinarily literate. Her scrapbooks of newspaper clippings, personal diaries, meticulous account books, and voluminous correspondence, including Senator Margaret Chase Smith's replies to letters she had written, are part of the Rock Rest collections that her stepson has donated to the University of New Hampshire.
Clayton was gentlemanly, somewhat stern, and well informed about the news of the day, Booker says. "He loved to talk, and he could always be counted on to share his opinion."
The Sinclairs met during the summer of 1936 and enjoyed a whirlwind courtship. "I have said I will," Hazel wrote in a letter to her aunt dated September 27, 1936, two weeks after her marriage. "Why, I don't know, but I did. You know, love is a funny thing if it is love that makes us do things. I think you will like my husband when you meet him. He's not bad to look at, brown skin, taller than I, weighs about 185 lbs. I'll make the best of it while it lasts, as it is all a chance. Don't worry about me. You know I always come out on top."
The house on Route 103 was in a ramshackle state when the couple bought it two years later. "Hazel said, 'I'm not living in that shack,' " says Valerie Cunningham, a Sinclair family friend who grew up calling the couple "Uncle Clayton" and "Aunt Hazel." Director of the Portsmouth (New Hampshire) Black Heritage Trail, she was instrumental in the effort to place the Rock Rest furnishings in a museum. "Clayton said, 'Can you afford something better than this?' Of course, they couldn't."
Clayton, who was then working as a driver at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, repaired and expanded the house in his spare time. By 1940 he and Hazel were taking in guests. Initially the offers of lodging were informal. The Sinclairs and other families — all members of the People's Baptist Church in Portsmouth, which was the center of their lives — often put up visitors coming to the area for a wedding, a funeral, or a short vacation. "That's how it began," Cunningham says. " 'I would like to go to Maine. Where is it safe? Where can I stay?' Clayton and Hazel, being smart, said, 'Huh, we should have a business here.' "
The Sinclairs were by no means the only entrepreneurs to build a business catering to black travelers in Jim Crow America. By the mid-twentieth century, major corporations like IBM and General Electric were hiring black men in management positions, and their work required travel, says Gretchen Sorin, director of the Cooperstown Graduate Program in Museum Studies at the State University of New York College at Oneonta.
Sorin wrote her PhD dissertation on travel in the pre-Civil Rights Act era. "They couldn't stay in hotels and motels, and they couldn't just pull into a restaurant and eat," she says. "It was a very hostile landscape for African Americans. You were literally traveling from safe black space to safe black space, and to do that you had to traverse the vast white space in between where people were not treating you very well."
Many turned to The Negro Motorist Green Book. Compiled by an enterprising New Yorker named Victor Green in 1936, the book was a state-by-state guide to guesthouses, restaurants, gas stations, hair salons, and other establishments that catered to African Americans. The 1949 edition lists establishments in Bangor, Gardiner, Portland, and Old Orchard Beach. By 1959, guesthouses had been established in Dixfield and the tiny Washington County town of Robbinston.
In Old Orchard Beach, the Cummings Guest House catered to the swing era's musical elite who played local clubs. Its guest register, procured by the University of Southern Maine, contains the signatures of Duke Ellington, Mercer Ellington, Bessie Smith, Lionel Hampton, and "Cab's Orchestra Boys," referring to Cab Calloway and his band.
Not all innkeepers advertised in the Green Book. Ethel Goode Franklin, whose Ogunquit guesthouse hosted black actors as well as the maids and chauffeurs of white actors performing at the Ogunquit Playhouse, did not. Hazel and Clayton Sinclair never felt the need to advertise in the Green Book, either. They were doing just fine without it.
The Sinclairs drew on their work experience to create a guesthouse that was at once comfortable and gracious. "Rock Rest was proper but not formal," Cunningham says. "Everything was what you would expect in a hotel. Hazel had been working in white people's homes for a long time, and she catered off-season. She knew how to treat people right. Her guests were sophisticated and treated as such."
The dining room table was set with fine china, crystal, and polished silverware. Clayton's garden beds provided the flowers for the centerpiece. To ensure that these guests would never have to face the ignominy of rejection, breakfast and dinner were included in the cost of accommodations. And what meals they were: fried chicken, baked beans, and every Friday, lobster thermidor. Hazel was famous for her Parker House rolls and for her seasonal desserts like strawberry shortcake and blueberry pie. "Food was really the draw for the guests at Rock Rest," Cunningham says. "Everything was homemade, often with ingredients that came right out of the vegetable gardens."
For entertainment, guests played horseshoes, badminton, and croquet. On drizzly days, they gathered in the game room that Clayton built in the detached garage and challenged one another to cribbage and Ping-Pong.
Although there were pockets of segregation in the seacoast region, there were no laws mandating segregation as there were in the South. Rock Rest guests were generally free to visit area beaches and other attractions. "It was the upscale places where they could run in to problems," Cunningham says.
In their day-to-day lives, the Sinclairs also found acceptance. Clayton was a deacon in his church and Hazel sang in the choir. Together, they founded the Seacoast Chapter of the NAACP. Closer to home, Clayton served for five terms on the Kittery Board of Appeals, and Hazel was a founding member of the local chapter of the League of Women Voters.
They were good neighbors, still remembered today for acts of kindness. York resident Eddie Storer, who grew up in Kittery Point, recalls the morning of his father's funeral in 1942. Because of gas rationings, he and his mother were planning to walk to the church two and a half miles away. Then Clayton Sinclair appeared at the front door. "He said, 'My car is sitting here. There's a full tank of gas. You take this and you use it as you need to,' " Storer says. "My mother asked him how he'd get to work at the shipyard, and he said, 'I'll walk. Don't you worry about me.' "
When Clayton died in 1978, neighbors and longtime guests flooded Hazel's mailbox with letters and cards. "I loved him as a brother and I love you as my sister," wrote frequent visitor Louise Abrams of Newark, New Jersey.
"You are loved by everyone here in Kittery Point," wrote one resident. "If anyone did not know you both, it was indeed their loss."
"You have both been so much a part of our town and have touched so many lives," wrote another.
The year 1964 — the year the Civil Rights Act banning segregation in the United States was signed into law — was a turning point for the Sinclairs. Although they continued to take in guests through the early 1970s, business dropped significantly. "Even though they were involved in the Civil Rights movement, they knew the people who would suffer were the black business owners," Booker says. "The Civil Rights Act was good for all, so even though you might lose your business, you would gain because you could go anywhere."
Yet, what most impressed William Pretzer when he stepped inside Rock Rest in 2010, more than thirty years after the final guest had departed, was the sense of suspended animation. "The dining room was visually attractive with its china closet, étagère, and buffet displaying china, glass, and linen," he says. "The veranda with its cushioned wicker chairs, porch swing, water cooler, and hutch provided a very relaxed atmosphere."
Hazel's presence, in particular, was apparent. "The most poignant place of respite was the Sinclairs' private place," he says. "Mr. and Mrs. Sinclair added a small room to the rear of their house. At midday, after cooking and cleaning for their guests, Mrs. Sinclair retired to this plain room with its two rocking chairs, small table, and reading lamp for her own, well-earned respite. That is the scene that sticks with me."

The Business and Liberal Arts Program enables students to combine a traditional liberal arts education (including the natural and social sciences) with effective training in the business and/or not-for-profit sectors. Many liberal arts colleges around the nation have taken the initiative to prepare their students for business and non-profit careers without compromising the traditional characteristic of their educational mission. The administrators and educators of these institutions have noted that employers look for potential managers, who in addition to having excelled in critical thinking, effective communication, and analytical ability honed in liberal arts curriculums, also possess a general knowledge of business environments. This program both reaffirms the fundamental importance of liberal arts in college graduates' overall development and provides the necessary theoretical and practical exposure to the global business world through appropriate courses, workshops, mentorship, and/or internships.

The Afghan Whigs … Still Going
Watch reunited Cincinnati greats play South By Southwest via live stream
As the final notes rang out at Bogart's early on Jan. 1, many fans at The Afghan Whigs' final concert of 2012 (after a year of steady, successful global-touring) were left wondering if they hadn't just witnessed the final Afghan Whigs' show ever. Band members were vague in interviews about the Whigs' future beyond the dates in front of them and since the tour has ended, frontman Greg Dulli has reportedly been working on material with Steve Kilbey of The Church, while Fists of Love — the local Indie band featuring the Whigs' John Curley on bass — have a new release, I Sang My Heart Out To A Snake Once, scheduled for next month (the release show is April 19 at Northisde Tavern). But future plans were never ruled out.So it was a pleasant surprise but not a total shock last week when it was announced that The Afghan Whigs were going to headline the "Fader Fort" party/showcase (presented by The Fader magazine and Converse) at South By Southwest this week. The band is slated to headline tomorrow (Friday) night's festivities at 8:30 p.m. (Cincinnati time) on a bill that also features Ra Ra Riot, The 1975 and Future. If the Whigs have no plans beyond Friday's mere half-hour-long set … well, that would just be weird (unless they were paid an unusually large amount of money to perform). Read CityBeat's Afghan Whigs cover package from last year here, here and here.What will they play? Will they have news on the future? Lucky for fans, you don't have to be in Austin, Texas, to witness the performance. The Fader Fort showcases are being streamed live through Saturday. Click below to watch the Whigs' and all other performances live. The stream runs today, tomorrow and Saturday from 2-9 p.m. Below the player is the full schedule.

The Afghan Whigs Are My Co-Pilots
The Afghan Whigs' music hit me hard in my 20s and hasn't left me since
The music of one of Cincinnati's all-time greatest musical exports, The Afghan Whigs, hit me at precisely the right time. As a child, the music of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who tattooed itself on to my DNA, while my high school years found me becoming obsessed with College Rock, Punk, Hip Hop and Hard Rock. But The Afghan Whigs were my "coming-of-age" soundtrack — from (approximately) the ages of 20-27 — and, like those childhood musical heroes, their music has never left me. Those years were pivotal in my growth as a human being. In that brief span, I was a raging alcoholic, a one-step-from-the-gutter junkie and a newlywed — at least for a few years all at once — with a handful of relationships that played themselves out painfully woven in between, followed by the "light" that comes with sobriety and clarity. I can't remember exactly the first time I heard The Afghan Whigs. I knew of them right after high school by seeing their names on fliers for shows at bars I wasn't old enough to get into. But once I finally got my hands on the band's debut for SubPop, Up In It, in 1990, I was hooked. While the music on Up In It still gives me a jolt every time I listen, the songs (save "You My Flower") never became as emotionally resonant as 1992's Congregation, 1993's Gentlemen and 1996's Black Love would prove to be for me. The sound of the Whigs' music was the perfect transition for me from favorites like Dinosaur Jr., The Replacements and Husker Du. But there was an aura in the Whigs' music that those groups were never capable of invoking. And originality — no one before or since has conjured the magical abstract-art guitar squiggles Whigs guitarist Rick McCollum has churned out and John Curley is one of the "Alt Rock" revolution's most distinctive bassists, with his sublime mix of melody, feel and sheer propulsiveness. Original drummer Steve Earle also had a trademark sound in his playing, a flurry of Hard Rock bluster and shuffling dance rhythms. Together with the hearty, evocative songwriting, The Afghan Whigs always had something more — an air of mystique and a sound beyond the trends — than their late '80s SubPop peers, not to mention their '90s Alternative Nation breakthrough cohorts. I got lost in the dark corners and ominous shadows of the music, as well as its manic moments of pure, jubilant uplift and smothering, inescapable sadness. And I soon began to pick up on the words of frontman Greg Dulli, which have repeatedly given me those moments every deep music lover has where they're almost freaked out by how closely the lyrics mirror their own feelings and experiences. Dulli's lyrics were raw, clever, poetic and brutally honest "love songs." It was the brutal honesty of his poetry about relationships that led to a still ongoing belief by detractors that Dulli is a misogynistic asshole. But I never got that vibe, even when the lyrics (always taken out of context when used against him) skewed that way, like on Gentlemen's "Be Sweet," where Dulli croons,"Ladies, let me tell you about myself/I got a dick for a brain/And my brain is gonna sell my ass to you/Now I'm OK, but in time I'll find I'm stuck/'Cause she wants love and I still want to fuck" Some find Dulli's swaggering "lothario" persona onstage off-putting and such lyrics crude, sexist, deplorable. I find them a relevant part of the story and character development, but also a realistic portrayal of a virile young man's mental process. Dismissing Dulli's words because you find them dick-ish or "sexist" just seems disingenuous. Men are assholes sometimes. And they can realize that in themselves. And women can be assholes, too. When I met my current longtime partner, she was as obsessed with Liz Phair's music as I was The Afghan Whigs', which made me draw some parallels between the two. She loved Liz Phair for the same reason I loved the Whigs — their music spoke directly to us and was dazzling in its self-awareness and rare candor. It should be noted that I really love Liz Phair's first album (the main one she built her legend upon, Exile in Guyville), but my girlfriend merely seems to tolerate my affinity for the Whigs. Still, The Afghan Whigs have tons of female fans, some who just love the sound of the band, some who appreciate the quality writing and musicianship, some who find Dulli's honesty sexy and some who find the man himself a hunk among hunks. There are usually an equal amount of male and females in an Afghan Whigs audience. Dulli's lyrics have a personal, intimate style, like something being revealed to you in a whisper or drunken yowl in the backroom of a speakeasy, which might be why most of his critics fail to consider the possibility of a non-autobiographical "narrator." What Dulli's lyrics offered to me was something I hadn't heard before, and it all goes back to that brutal honesty. He was presenting a more complete and complex picture of love, one that admitted mistakes, wielded vitriol like a sword, cranked up the self-deprecation, wallowed in sex, drugs and misery and held on to the hope and promise that love first presents. The Whigs' connections to classic Soul music isn't just in the sound or beats; that lyrical description could also be about Marvin Gaye or any number of great vintage Blues and Soul artists. Dulli sings about the emotional ups and downs a man in, out or around love feels. And his honesty made a lot of uptight people (and men trying to seem "femi-sensitive") uncomfortable. It's sort of like a non-ridiculous version of Howard Stern's "He says the things we all think and feel but can't say ourselves!" Like Charles Bukowski and Henry Miller, Dulli never ran his insight through a PC filter — he just ran it out, filter-less. I can be masochistic in my listening habits, cuing up songs that are painful in their reminder of darker times or clinging to them during fresh, new depressing moments. But I've also listened to the Whigs while elated and ready to celebrate. Though I don't have the same visceral response to the Whigs' more upbeat "party" anthems (particularly on the band's swan song, 1965), I've grown to love them almost as much. During dysfunctional moments in love affairs, with my issues with drugs and alcohol, Gentlemen's "Fountain and Fairfax" — with it's lines like "Let me drink, let me tie off/I'm really slobbering now" — stung. But it was a good sting, like a shot of whiskey. Songs like these, the ones that echoed my weird, nihilistic feelings of "fuck it all," helped me realize I wasn't totally insane. Or at least I wasn't the only one who was trying to understand and deal with this insanity. Black Love closer "Faded" has been an anthem for many breakups, the Purple Rain-sway giving me the same kind of chills Wendy and Lisa get in the Prince movie when he plays the title track for the first time. And whenever my longtime battle with depression has led me to suicidal thoughts in my life, "Crime Scene (Part One)," the numb, opening salvo on the Whigs noir, emotionally-wrenching masterpiece Black Love, starts running through my brain: "Tonight, tonight I say goodbye/To everyone who loves me/Stick it to my enemies, tonight/Then I disappear." More than once, it's brought me to tears and squashed all suicidal thoughts — thinking of saying goodbye to everyone who loves you is sometimes all it takes. As I eventually got my shit together, getting off the hard drugs and managing my alcohol intake, another Whigs' song would haunt me, but this time in a purely reassuring way. I've used a "program" called Rational Recovery to help me stay off of drugs and alcohol and the essence of the system is mental cognizance — being able to recognize when your mind and body are trying to get you to drink or do drugs. You turn this "feeling" into a physical thing and name it. I suppose it could be named anything, but I've gone with "The Beast," per the suggestion of the Rational Recovery book. It sounds silly, but merely saying in my head, "That's The Beast," has worked wonders for me staying sober. I eventually started to cling to a line from The Afghan Whigs' single "Debonair" from Gentlemen: "Once again the monster speaks/Reveals his face and searches for release." It so perfectly matches my "sobriety mantra" and mental ritual, I've considered having it tattooed on my arm. I'm fairly certain that I would've become a huge Afghan Whigs fan if I wasn't from Cincinnati. Even before I found a way to make a living from writing about music from the area, I loved "homegrown" music and never saw it as simply "local music." But being able to see the Whigs in concert dozens of times, venues big and small, all over the region, including a few epic holiday shows and a couple of "secret" warm-up shows the band would sneak in before hitting the road — that certainly helped their "favorite band" status in my mind. The Whigs have long been a phenomenal live band. Musically, it's always been a tight but ragged glory. But Dulli is one of the most entertaining, funniest banterers in the history of Rock & Roll. His mid-set chats (formerly trademark "smoke breaks," though Greg is now apparently a non-smoker) were like an edgy, fired-up stand-up comedian going into the audience for some "Hey, where you from?" volleying. But in Dulli's case, it was usually a time to talk musical tastes, new bands, maybe throw out some humorous sports commentary, playfully taunting every other person in the venue. It was loose, like party chatter, and I always found it an hysterical highlight of every Whigs show. Comedy and music are my two favorite things in the world and the Whigs usually delivered both in concert. The band members were a few years older than me, so there was a sense of awe early on when seeing them around town. When a band I was in was playing at Sudsy Malone's in the early '90s, it would be a total mind-fuck to hear a Whigs member was in the crowd. Especially because I'd taken to listening to the band's music so much, almost everything I played for a long time was informed by the Whigs. (Big C chords with a suspended 7 or mere C to E-minor chord progressions are classic early Whigs' motifs.) I'm far from the only local musician from the'90s (and likely beyond) inspired by the Whigs' music, but there was another kind of inspiration during that era when all of the band members were out and about in Cincinnati. The Whigs' "fuck it, let's just go do this" ambition, just getting in the van and going, actually worked. That gave a lot of musicians hope that they could be heard outside of city limits even if they were from Cincinnati. But, unlike in Seattle, where there were several groups with similar sounds rising simultaneously, the Whigs were too unique to copy to the point where a label might sign a "soundalike" band. It's what's great about Cincinnati music — the lack of a unifying sound as a result of artists trying to make their own unique thing. The Whigs were even involved in starting my career — the very first review of any piece of art I ever wrote was a take on the band's Congregation album for a features/criticism class I took at the University of Cincinnati. (I remember getting a pretty high grade and thinking, "I got this.") Once I'd decided I wanted to write about music full-time, I accepted an internship in New York City. Driving over the hills into New York City, the Whigs' remix of "Miles Iz Ded" called "Rebirth of the Cool" came on some random NY/NJ-area radio station. It made me feel like I was on the right track. Gradually, I'd meet all of the members out and about, and each had that Midwestern down-to-earthness that it usually takes outsiders to point out. Well, I'd meet every member except Mr. Dulli. During the peak Whigs years, Dulli seemed especially sensitive to negative press, reportedly calling out (or just calling up) writers who'd say sometimes legit, sometimes stupid things about him or his band. I was a mentally unstable substance abuser who, for reasons I don't completely remember or understand, added a couple of dumb barbs about the band into my column or elsewhere in CityBeat over the course of a few years. They weren't especially harsh, save for one aside where I mentioned (jokingly) that a rumor was suggesting Dulli had developed a massive bourbon habit and gained 500 lbs (or something equally outrageous). It was stupid and baseless and, given his family lives in the area and might read it (this was pre-internet-is-everywhere), he had every right to be angered by my youthful idiocy. If you're reading this, Greg, I apologize. It was another lesson in growing the fuck up, courtesy of The Afghan Whigs. I came to despise that sort of trashy journalism but, in a cruel twist of fate, baseless gossip websites might just be the only job I'll be able to get one day given the state of newspapers. In response to my bad-taste alcoholic/obesity sentence, I received a fax (a fax!) from Dulli's publicist saying the Greg was challenging me to an AIDS test. I'm still not totally sure why, though I think it was either a comment on my taste in women or my IV drug problem at the time. I was flummoxed. Embarrassed. Ashamed. Confused. Then tickled. "Greg Dulli knows who I am?" (Then ashamed again: "One of my musical heroes hates me.") That how much I love Dulli and his musical partners' output — he might've strangled me with his bare hands if we ran into each other at a bar and I would've been all, "He touched me!" Many of Dulli's more direct peers from the Cincinnati area who were around when the Whigs were coming up don't seem to have a very positive opinion of the man, but I've always taken their shots at him with a grain of salt. There might have been some jealousy or maybe Greg really was an asshole in his mid-20s. I can relate. There are so many stories and legends about Dulli's personal life and actions during his time in Cincy as the Whigs were taking off, he's like an urban Rock Star Davy Crocket. None of it has ever changed how I listen to the Whigs' music. To this day, when I've been in a relationship in turmoil or crumbling apart, I still think to myself, "My life is becoming an Afghan Whigs song again." And I know there will be some emotional pain and probably a few bad decisions involved, but it's at least going to be an interesting ride. The one that never ends.

WATCH: Afghan Whigs Launch U.S. Tour on 'Kimmel'
Cincy legends play "My Enemy," "Uptown Again" on late-night TV
The Afghan Whigs kicked off their upcoming U.S. tour — which brings them to back to their hometown twice, at Bogart's on Oct. 25 (sold out) and Dec. 31 (tickets on sale to the general public tomorrow through ticketmaster.com) — by performing on ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live last night. The Whigs performed "My Enemy," Track 2 on their masterpiece, 1996's Black Love, and played the show off with "Uptown Again" off the band's swan song, 1965, from 1998. And, once again, they sound better than ever. You can watch the full episode here. Here's "Enemy." And here's "Uptown," in full (only a snippet made it on the air):The group performed a "mini concert" for those assembled at Kimmel's studio in Hollywood. The great Whigs fan site Summer's Kiss reports that the Whigs played Gentlemen track "Fountain & Fairfax" and the Black Love song for which the site is named, "Summer's Kiss." Kimmel's official site sometimes posts bonus songs, so if/when we find good footage, we'll update this post.

Afghan Whigs to Play Bogart's on New Year's Eve
CityBeat sponsors hometown greats' last show of 2012
Billboard magazine recently ran an interview with Greg Dulli, frontman of legendary, recently-reunited crew The Afghan Whigs, titled "Afghan Whigs: Gone In November?" in which the singer/songwriter was coy about the band's plans beyond its current run of U.S. tour dates. Today we can answer that question with a resounding "NO!"After the current slate of announced dates (which kick off this weekend in New York City at the Dulli-curated Night 2 of the All Tomorrow's Parties/I'll Be Your Mirror fest) wraps up in L.A. on Nov. 10, the band has added one new date — a second homecoming show (following a sold-out affair Oct. 25) on New Year's Eve at Bogart's. CityBeat is the presenting sponsor of the concert, so if you strike out on tickets, be sure to check out our "Win Stuff!" hub to register for freebies. The tickets will first be available tomorrow (Tuesday) at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster.com. This is the "fan pre-sale"; just enter the password "Happynewyear" to get it on the early action. Remaining tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. (Here is the pre-sale link, which will go live tomorrow morning.) UPDATE: Actually, HERE is the real on-sale link, live right now. To get the U.S. dates started with a little promo push, the group is performing this Wednesday night as the musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live. (If you're curious, the other guests Wednesday are actors Julie Bowen and Nate Parker.) The band will reportedly be performing a "mini-concert" for assembled fans, so keep an eye out after the show for more clips from the appearance.

Hospitality and Tourism Law
Summer Program
June 2 - 6, 2014
For many years, attorneys seeking careers in hotel law faced limited options of apprenticeship in a law firm or self-directed study. With Washington, D.C. as the corporate home to the titans of the hotel industry, the Hospitality and Tourism Law Program at American University Washington College of Law is recognized for its legal education in hotel law and a directed career path.
Taught by leading practitioners and industry legal experts, the Hospitality and Tourism Law Summer Program provides intensive training for students and professionals interested in pursuing a career in the hotel industry. Executives and attorneys bring practical and academic experience to the classroom, where they'll share current industry practices, themes, and trends. Courses cover a broad range of complex legal issues to provide a fundamental overview of hospitality and tourism practice. Site visits in Washington, D.C. to corporate hotel headquarters and to convention center hotels bring participants outside of the classroom and into the real world. Tours, events, and dinners are also scheduled for participants to network with professionals in the industry.
The five-day program, with classes in the morning and evening, is designed to meet the busy schedules of law students interested in earning academic credit during the summer and of attorneys interested in earning CLE credit. The program is ideal for attorneys seeking careers in hotel law with law firms and in-house counsel, as well as non-traditional careers that include hotel development and general manager operations. Corporate officers and non-attorneys seeking fundamental topics in legal analysis and contract drafting are also encouraged to attend. All participants will be eligible to receive a Certificate of Legal Studies in Hospitality Law and Practice upon completion of the program.
(1 academic credit per course)
Introduction to Hotel Law and Real Estate
Using a combination of case study, dialogue, and course work, this introductory course provides an analysis of complex legal issues routinely addressed by attorneys engaged in hospitality matters such as: licensing and franchise rights, tort liability, business formation and the complexities of hotel real estate development.
Hotel Franchising, Licensing, and Management Agreements
Probably the single most important area of hotel law, the management, licensing, and franchising agreements necessary to operate most hotels are embedded with complex issues that integrate law, economics, heightened negotiations, and detailed contract drafting. The course explores the many models of hotel ownership and branded chains that allow operations to appear seamless to hotel guests.
Advanced Topics: Labor & Employment Law, plus Gaming Considerations in the Hospitality Industry
Once the domain of Las Vegas and Atlantic City, gaming operations and casinos now thrive across the country. In addition, massive resort hotels create numerous issues for the hotel attorney. This course examines recent developments in legal and operational areas including: hotel torts; alcoholic beverage regulation; federal, state, and local regulation (including the ADA); Indian and Tribal gaming; and intellectual property.
Site Visits Include
Marriott and its Ritz-Carlton Hotels Headquarters
Fairmont D.C. Hotel
Online Registration
Online registration will be open early January 2014. Applications are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a $65 non-refundable application fee.

Updated 3:40 PM
SYRACUSE -- Judge William Walsh, who is presiding over the trial, addressed Dwight DeLee and said "there have been serious threats made to witnesses" and that one of the threats came from a member of DeLee's family. The judge said that this needs to stop or it will hurt DeLee's defense.
A female witness said she saw DeLee walk up to Green's car and hurt his say something about "fa****" and they (Lateisha Green and Mark Cannon) "need to get out of here".
The witness then said that DeLee pointed the gun into the car and pulled the trigger. She was very emotional. Her statements in court differed from what she previously told police.
Another witness called and invited Moses Cannon (Latiesha Green) to the party. She was talking to them in the car outside the house and heard someone say "get these fa**** out of here". The witenss also said that someone in a hoodie came up behind her with a gun and put it into the car window. She heard a click and then the car sped away. She did not see the shooter's face but recognized the voice and hand as Dwight DeLee.
Court is in recess.
Updated 1:50 PM
Two people who were at a Syracuse house party when a transgendered woman was murdered say the man accused of the crime called the victim a "fa****."
But neither of those witnesses at Dwight DeLee's trial said they saw him fire the shot that killed 22-year-old Lateisha Green last November.
DeLee is being tried on a hate crime murder charge. Prosecutors say he killed Green because of anti-gay bias.
If convicted of a hate crime, DeLee would face additional prison time.
On Tuesday, two prosecution witnesses who told police they saw DeLee shoot Green recanted their statements. Green's brother, who was wounded in the same attack, identified DeLee as the gunman during testimony Monday.
The trial is continuing Wednesday afternoon.

Updated 12:20 PM
Witnesses have been called to the stand Wednesday in the hate crime murder trial of Dwight DeLee of Syracuse.
The police detective that originally questioned DeLee took the stand and testified that DeLee allegedly said everyone was out to get him and he was putting his faith in God. DeLee looked 'defeated' to the detective and kept repeating "its over… its over". When the detective asked DeLee if he hated homosexuals, DeLee said "no".
DeLee's defense attorney countered that his client he was fatigued from the interrogation when he made those remarks.
A 19-year-old woman also took the stand and said that she lived near where the shooting took place. She said that she knew that Mark and Moses Cannon (the birth name of Lateisha Green) were gay and she didn't care.
Allison testified that a car pulled in front of the house. She said she was walking through the door when DeLee said "we don't play that fa**** sh**". She then heard a "popping sound" outside and then everyone panicked.
Witness testimony is scheduled to continue in the afternoon.
Original Story:
Testimony is continuing for a third day in the trial of a 20-year-old upstate New York man charged with the hate crime-murder of a transgendered woman.
Two prosecution witnesses who told police they saw an accused Dwight DeLee kill Lateisha Green recanted their statements on the witness stand Tuesday.
Siblings Johnny and Jasmine Gaston testified that investigators told them what to say about the shooting of the 22-year-old Green at a Syracuse house party last November.
Both gave signed statements to police identifying DeLee as the gunman. But on Tuesday, they insisted DeLee was involved and said someone else killed Green.
"They were telling me the story of what happened," said Johnny Gaston, who claimed he was coerced during eight hours of questioning.
Gaston and DeLee were friends who arrived at the party together. Jasmine Gaston is DeLee's girlfriend.
Perplexed prosecutors held several bench conferences with the judge as they questioned their two reluctant witnesses, who were among more than a dozen people who testified Tuesday at DeLee's hate crime murder trial in Onondaga County Court.
Earlier, another witness testified that she heard two men make disparaging remarks about gay people moments before a third man fired a single shot into the parked car in which Green was sitting.
But although she said she heard the two men using the word "fa****," Cassie Williams testified that she never heard the suspected gunman say anything.
Williams, 17, described the events surrounding the shooting but said she could not identifiy the killer, who wore a dark sweat shirt with the hood pulled over his head.
Mark Cannon, the victim's brother, testified Monday that DeLee was the person who fired the shot into the car. Cannon was wounded by the same bullet, which grazed his arm before hitting Green in the shoulder.
Medical Examiner Dr. Robert Stoppacher testified that the shot tore through Green's shoulder into her chest. The bullet passed through one lung, then her aorta, before lodging in the other lung, causing her to bleed to death.
Forensic experts also testified for the prosecution but they said they found no fingerprints on the rifle and could not conclusively link the gun to the bullet recovered from Green's body.
Prosecutors contend DeLee fatally shot Green because he thought she was gay. Born Moses Cannon, Green decided at age 16 to live as a woman, her family has said.
If DeLee is convicted of committing a hate crime murder, it would be only the second hate crime conviction involving the murder of a transgender person in the United States. Allen Andrade was convicted in May in Colorado of beating 18-year-old Angie Zapata to death with a fire extinguisher after discovering she was biologically male.
Under New York law, DeLee could face a minimum of 20 years to life in state prison if convicted of murder as a hate crime. Without the hate crime element, the minimum penalty is 15 years to life.
