Welcome to the new RacePA!
Bob Liddle [ 85 Vette ] and I also will be siging up this coming week. We along with Keith will be running in SPO. I also have a friend in the Detroit area who also is coming to run his Mustang which in NASA is a CMC car. It was a great event last year. If you can't run come out and give us racers a hand in the pits. You'll enjoying being up and close to the action.
final results are announced at the end-of-day awards & beverage ceremony.
What are the chances this fills up? I'm planning on doing the TT & school, but need to make some small changes to clear their tech... as usual I'd rather not register until I know I'm good to go.
Hope to see more on the registration lists. Where are our newly minted race license holders?

Major-league baseball pitchers usually throw fastballs, curveballs, and off-speed pitches. A few brave souls, however, have made a career out of throwing the knuckleball. The pitch entails lobbing the baseball in such a way that it doesn't rotate, and therefore moves in a manner that's impossible to predict. The filmmakers follow Tim Wakefield and R.A. Dickey, the only two knuckleball pitchers in the majors during the 2011 season, as they attempt to stay in the big leagues while relying on this unorthodox weapon. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The filmmakers who rattled viewers with The Devil Came on Horseback and The Trials of Daniel Hunt return to explore outspoken author Naomi Wolf's controversial claim that America has begun a frightening descent into dictatorship with this documentary that takes its title from the incendiary novel of the same name. Is American democracy, as we know it under attack? By examining the chilling parallels between the current state of our nation and the ascent of dictators and fascism in other once-free societies, Wolf urges viewers to open their eyes to the horrors that could lie ahead. From the increased use of paramilitary groups to the construction of secret prisons and the targeted suspension of the rule of law, the warning signs are all there for people to wake up and finally take notice. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In late 2006, former U.S. Marine captain Brian Steidle traveled to Darfur, Sudan, with the African Union peacekeeping force -- and found his life and perspective on the world forever changed. Devastated and racked with horror by the Janjaweed-driven genocide in the western region of the country (which has claimed 400,000 lives), Steidle set out to work against these atrocities -- atrocities systematically denied and publicly buried by the corrupt Sudanese government. Despite his initial hesitancies, Steidle ultimately agreed to plunge headfirst into the conflict -- and to work toward achieving social change not through violence but through peaceful, humanitarian efforts. His efforts carried him to a myriad of countries and multiple continents; throughout, Steidle took over 1,000 photographs to document the horrors, thus spreading awareness of this crisis to the remainder of the world and roundly defeating Sudanese governmental denials of the genocide. In their nonfiction work The Devil Came on Horseback, documentarians Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg bring viewers along with Steidle on his intensely moving personal journey, and shed light on a region of the world rapidly plunging into its own inescapable hell. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work

Add Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work to top of Queue
Joan Rivers launched her career as a standup comic in the early '60s, a time when female comedians were few and far between, and after several years of working nightclubs to unresponsive audiences, she was booked on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in 1965 and soon became one of the most successful comedy acts in the nation. Since then, Rivers has hosted several TV talk shows, written best-selling books, directed a feature film, launched a line of jewelry, and kept up a busy schedule of personal appearances, determined to hold on to her stardom regardless of the fickle winds of show business. Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg followed Rivers through a typically eventful year in her life, and in Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work, they offer a look at the woman behind the laughter as she struggles to stay in the spotlight, works on new material, launches a one-woman show in the United Kingdom that doesn't fare as well as she hopes, takes a chance as a participant on a reality TV show, and ponders her career in show business at the age of 75. Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Trials of Darryl Hunt

Add The Trials of Darryl Hunt to top of Queue
In 1984, Deborah Sykes, a copy editor at a newspaper in Winston-Salem, NC, was on her way to work when she was attacked by a man who raped and killed her. Three men were identified by the police as likely suspects -- Sammy Mitchell, Johnny Gray, and Darryl Hunt -- but it didn't take long for investigators to single out Hunt as the man who committed the brutal crime. Coverage of the case in the Winston-Salem Sentinel, the paper Sykes worked for, fueled public outrage and many called for swift justice against Hunt. However, Hunt stubbornly declared his innocence, and even declined an opportunity for a plea bargain agreement because he was determined to prove he did not commit the crime. Hunt was found guilty and given a life sentence, but civil rights advocates believed he had been railroaded, especially given the racial tension the trial generated in this Southern community -- Sykes was white and Hunt was black, while the jury that delivered the verdict was nearly all white and some of the most damning testimony, later to be found to be inaccurate, was given by a man with ties to the Ku Klux Klan. A second trial in 1989 also resulted in a guilty verdict, but in 1994 DNA testing proved that Hunt was not the man who committed the crime. However, no North Carolina court was willing to accept this new evidence, and it wasn't until 2004 that Hunt was finally exonerated and released. Filmmakers Ricki Stern and Annie Sundberg began following the Darryl Hunt case in 1994, and ten years of research and interviews went into the making of The Trials of Darryl Hunt, a documentary following his long and painful road to eventual justice. Produced for the premium cable network HBO, The Trials of Darryl Hunt was screened to enthusiastic reviews at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Abstract: Bark of Bauhinia purpurea tree was collected and both the water and methanol extracts were prepared. Both extracts were tested for free radical scavenging activities and phenol content. Water extract was then tested for its protective potentials against alcohol induced toxicity. For this experiment, twenty rats were randomly divided into four groups, alcohol control group, normal control and two experimental groups. The rats in alcohol control group received alcohol (5 g/kg), rats in normal control were given water. Rats in two experimental groups were administered two doses of methanol extract (50 and 100 mg/kg respectively) plus alcohol (5 g/kg) for 30 days. At the end of the experiment, rats were killed after ether anesthesia. Liver and blood samples were collected for biochemical measurements. Parameters measured were thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase, reduced glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, catalase and ascorbic acid. Results showed that both methanol and water extracts scavenged free radicals equivalent to gallic acid scavenging and were found rich in total phenol content. Results of in vivo experiments showed that the water extract inhibited lipid peroxidation, protected the experimental animals from hepatic toxicity and maintained the levels of antioxidants in dose dependent manner.

Abstract: In the present study, inhibitory effect of the methanol extract of Raphanus sativus root on lipid peroxidation has been carried out in normal rats. Graded doses of methanol extract of root of the plant (40, 80 and 120 mg kg 1 body weight) were administered orally for 15 days to experimental treated rats. Distilled water was administered to experimental control rats. At the end of experiment, rats were killed by decapitation after ether anesthesia. Blood and liver were collected to measure thiobarbituric acid reactive substance, reduced glutathione and activity of catalase. Results indicated that the extract of R. sativus root reduced the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance significantly in all experimental treated groups (P50.05) as compared to the experimental control group. It also increased the levels of reduced glutathione and increased the activity of catalase. In vitro experiments with the liver of experimental control and experimental treated rats were also carried out against cumene hydroperoxide induced lipid peroxidation. The extract inhibited in vitro cumene hydroperoxide induced lipid peroxidation. R. sativus inhibits lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. It provides protection by strengthening the antioxidants like glutathione and catalase. Inclusion of this plant in every day diet would be beneficial.

Abstract: In the present study, preventive and protective effects of Ocimum gratissimum in ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity are assessed in albino rats. A methanol extract of O. gratissimum leaves is prepared, with a yield of 3.5% (w/w) of the dry weight of leaves. Graded doses of the extract (10, 20, 40 and 80 mg/kg body weight), together with ethanol (5 gm/kg body weight) are administered orally to experimental groups for 30 days. Normal control rats receive distilled water only, while rats in an alcohol control group (AC) receive ethanol only for 30 days. O. gratissimum reduced the level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance in all experimental groups (E1â E4). Alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels fell in all experimental groups (E1â E4), but this reduction was significant only in groups E3 and E4 (P<0.05), indicating inhibition of lipid peroxidation by free radicals generated after ethanol metabolism. Levels of antioxidants also increased. Ascorbic acid and glutathione levels increased in all experimental groups (E1â E4; P<0.05 and P<0.01, respectively). A significant increase in catalase (P<0.05) was noted only in group E4, although an upward trend was noted in all experimental groups. This study shows that O. gratissimum prevents free radical damage to the liver and thus protects the organ from oxidative stress. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/309 Files in this item: 1

Facebook Case Study: Online Retailer Sees 300% Increase in Transactions Using SHIFT's Proprietary Technology "StoryRank"
The holiday shopping season is still in full swing, and advertisers are working hard to engage with customers across channels and devices in order to be considered during consumers' last-minute purchase decisions. Facebook has proven to be one of the most effective platforms for marketers to reach a large, active online audience that can provide nearly immediate feedback, especially considering that more than half of their 1 billion users visit the site, either on desktop or mobile, every day. As one of Facebook's early strategic preferred marketing developers (sPMD), SHIFT has been helping clients master Facebook and the greater social landscape for almost three years. One tool that powers our clients' success is SHIFT's proprietary StoryRank technology. Available within SHIFT Media Manager, the leading social advertising app, StoryRank uses an algorithm that weighs select Facebook insights to rank a brand's organic page posts. This ranking helps clients identify top-performing content — content that is resonating most with fans and will likely to perform well as an ad. Using StoryRank, one of our more prominent clients was able to drive online transactions directly from Facebook and improve overall ROI versus other channels. Here are more details about the campaign and strategy: Client Vertical: Online Retail A top online retailer was seeking to increase its reach on Facebook surrounding a major holiday. They wanted to actively participate in online conversations, and raise awareness of special holiday offers while doing so. The company was particularly interested in using new methods to exceed the performance of past campaigns surrounding the same holiday. Specifically, the client wanted to: 1) Grow the brand's Facebook page by acquiring targeted fans 2) Drive holiday-related transactions 3) Generate mass day-of awareness

Return of Bruce Wayne 6
Writer: Grant Morrison
Artists: Lee Garbett, Pere Perez, Alejandro Sicat
Date: December 2010
My Rating: Extremely Satisfying!
So, here we have our conclusion of Bruce Wayne's journey through time to return to Gotham, his family and allies. Overall I enjoyed it, was surprised and intrigued, and appreciated the tying up of loose ends. But, it didn't have the reunion moments I was hoping for – guess we'll have to wait for the Batman: The Return one-shot I read about the other day.
This issue starts off at the end of time, with the Archivist showing us things that symbolize Bruce's life. There are the pearls, a bell (which he rang to call Alfred when he decided to be Batman), and a gun. Kind of makes me wonder what things would symbolize my own life, you know? The crazy sea-monster is back, it seems to be like a physical representation of the curse that's followed him through time (and is that curse responsible for his parents' death? Is that the implication? Kind of means he'd always be Batman, no matter what.) I like how it looks like a good old vagina dentata, and also the face-hugger from Alien, anyone else find that?
When Superman and some other JLA type guys show up at the end of the universe to stop Batman, he takes their time machine and goes back to the 'present', leaving them there to escape right after in a different time machine that Batman left for them. He's smart like that. Why don't people trust Batman to always be himself, no matter what happens to him?
Batman shows up at wherever the Justice League is (the Tower?…), and Tim has to explain that he's become a threat to existence. They have a really great moment:
So basically, everything comes together in a crazy way. Superman, Wonder Woman, and Green Lantern save the day, reminding us that Batman needs his allies in order to ultimately succeed. The book closes with Batman rededicating himself to protecting Gotham city, and balance is returned to the universe.
One last thing I wanted to say was that the artwork in this book is excellent. I love how Bruce and the other people are drawn, they look like the ultimate versions of themselves. The bat-suit's various incarnations throughout time are great, variations but always around that same theme and it works really well. If you didn't follow Return of Bruce Wayne as the issues came out, it's definitely a story I would recommend buying when it's published in a compilation. OK, I'm off to read Red Robin 17. Have a great weekend! I am the night.

The record supposedly showcases Wallington's style (or gimmick) – called "The Peck", and explained as a series of incomplete phrases from the players – but to us, this approach is just prime 50s hardbop at its most inventive – a mode that might be dubbed "call and response", in which players trade lines back and forth with great dynamism and energy! Players here are all very well suited to the task – and include Donald Byrd on trumpet, Jackie McLean on alto, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Taylor on drums – all working with great boppish fire on a set of tunes that include "Sweet Blanche", "Minor March", "Jay Mac's Crib", and "Bohemia After Dark". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.

History is packed with tales about brilliant minds that ultimately fall into madness. In our time, chess prodigy Bobby Fischer is one of the most compelling and mysterious examples of an early promise that plummets into disaster.
The life of this enigmatic genius is the subject of Endgame, a new book by Frank Brady, Ph.D., Professor of Mass Communications at St. John's University. On Monday, Jan. 24, New York Times critic Janet Maslin praised Dr. Brady's study as a rapt, intimate book, greatly helped by its author's long acquaintance with Fisher" and Dr. Brady's "deep grounding in the world of chess."
Dr. Brady was the founding editor of Chess Life, the U.S. Chess Federation's official magazine. This knowledge of the game is equaled by Dr. Brady's own relationship with Bobby Fischer, whom he met when the champion was a 10-year-old prodigy in Brooklyn, NY.
In addition to his own experience with Mr. Fischer, Ms. Maslin writes, Dr. Brady "makes use of unusually good source material," such as Mr. Fischer's "own unpublished manuscript to 50 years" worth of his personal conversations with Fischer's associates, mentors and relatives." This includes letters and observations by Mr. Fischer's longtime mentor and his mother, who seemed to predict her son's increasingly bizarre behavior.
Ultimately, Ms. Maslin writes, Dr. Brady demonstrates consummate skill at forging "a demystifying approach to Fischer's eccentricities. He sees the person behind the bluster, and he presents that person in a reasonably realistic light."
Dr. Brady, the former Chairman of the Division of Mass Communications in the College of Professional Studies at St. John's, has written numerous books and articles about chess, including the Bobby Fischer: Profile of a Prodigy, (to which HBO bought movie rights). He also has written books about Aristotle Onassis and Orson Welles.
At St. John's, Dr. Brady has mentored hundreds of students who have gone on to success in journalism and mass communications.

Though it's geography that lures the characters, CenterPoint Legacy Theatre's current production of "South Pacific," running now through May 19, won my own heart over with a stunning emotional honesty and subtle grace. Carried along by classic songs and a bevy of wonderful voices, I felt the magic just as strongly as any of the characters.
The show, based on a book by James A. Michener, follows a nurse and soldier stationed in the South Pacific during WWII as they find love and confront their own prejudices. There's plenty of comedy and several nicely splashy rally-the-troops musical numbers, but it's love that gives the show its heart.
Fortunately for this production, it's the actors that give the love stories their own heart. Lindsea Garside is fantastic as Nellie, brimming with enthusiasm and innocence that's both sweet and believable (all actors were in the opening night cast). Kevin Burtenshaw gives Emile both dignity and warmth, and both actors get points for maintaining their accents so beautifully throughout.
For more information check out the Apr 26 addition of the Davis Clipper.

I Love Kids
I was hanging out with my family this weekend, and my four year old son was on the floor playing with one of his many trucks. And of course being a four year old boy he was smashing it, banging it, and jumping it over his little sister's head. His father who was mid sentence trying to have an adult conversation , ask him not to be so loud and to treat his truck nicer so that he wouldn't break it.
Cody continued on playing, keeping an eye on his father to see if he was paying attention. As he played he took each movement bigger and bigger and a little louder each time, the whole while watching to see what dad would say. He was basically seeing how far he could take it with out getting in trouble. I was getting a kick out of it, Chris my fiancé wasn't finding it so funny, so I asked him, "Cody, how come you have to push it?" I meant his father's patience, he looked right at me, and very matter of fact said, "Because it doesn't have batteries." Love it!

Message board
Hi Carol, just thinking about you, wondering how you're doing...
Hi Frederique...thank you for thinking of me. I have been taking one day at a time, trying to move forward. Busy working, busy working on new concept for mixed media pieces, busy trying to put my life back together. I hope one day soon, I can get back fully and see evevryones artwork. I hope you and yours are doing well.
Hello! Our first critique is today : http://groups.bluecanvas.com/Professional-Critique/forum/post/2680 I hope you will be able to attend! It is from 2-5pm EST. I hope to see you there!
Oh I apologize Lindsey...I have been out of town and haven't been online. Sorry I missed the critique.
Thanks for dropping by and commenting, Carol. I hope you're doing okay, it's nice to see you here.
I'm not ok...but I tell people I am because that is what they want to hear. I'm tired of saying that. Thank you for caring. Love your new works.
Thank you for answering honestly. I know it can't be easy, but be true to yourself as much as is possible.
Just glad you're dropping in from time to time... a little art therapy can't hurt. Sending a hug your way, Carol!
Thank you, Frederique...I hope to become more regular after a while. Still going through so much. I did post a new image a few minutes ago, in the "dedicated to Jimmy" folder.
Cookie, I cannot begin to say I know how you feel, becuase it is different for everyone. I am soooo sorry for your loss. It must be nearly unbearable. As fRed says below, one day at a time and one breath at a time.
Carol, I'm so sorry... there are no words... Take one day at a time... one breath at a time... I hope you can turn to family and to your art for some comfort.
My family has been wonderful, but I don't want to burden them. I have created my first piece since my husbands passing called, "A Love Story" and I just received email that it is going to be published in a book, but I won't know more until later. So knowing my husband Jimmy was my biggest supporter, I think he would of loved this. It is in memory of him.
Carol, I'm sending you lots of hugs, love, prayers, and warm thoughts...You have my deepest sympathies, truly. xoxo
Dear Cookie- many of us have been missing you and thinking of you so much, as you can see. Sending love and courage xxxxxxxxx
I am so very sorry Cookie and so sad for you. I am so ashamed to think that I did not know of this and how I could have missed it is beyond me. But you are and will remain in my prayers and healing thoughts.
Cookie, Kim and I are so sad to here the news, If there is anything we can do for your please let us know. Our prayers are with you
...dear Carol,I feel like I lose some too...we walk together since I steep in BC..your warm welcome...support..encouragement..always give me the extra push to keep goin,now the Bc family is giving you that extra push,we all love you cookie.

Oh my god, Cookie! I am SO sorry! I am totally shocked to hear this news. I can only tell you that I will be thinking of you! I don't know how I would deal with a situation like this. All my thoughts are with you.
The social issues-topic-crude and REAL of this file is an outstanding sour anthem to our own myopia....hope we can fix that together soon.
Yes, Adolfo...it is crude and real. In this series, the birds are society, the issues are real, and the wires remind us "we" are ALL connected. We must move forward and press on in hopes of a better world. Thank you my dear friend for coming by the gallery and for your generosity. xo
thanks for all the love on the page. we really appreciate you asking questions as well. it's always nice to dialogue about the work
You're very welcome... I also enjoy hearing about other artists and their technique and process! Thanks for sharing your awesome works!
Cookie-welcome to WORK IN PROGRESS! Your personal WIP Forum is now available for you to start posting here:) http://groups.bluecanvas.com/WORK-IN-PROGRESS/forum/post/2089
Cookie thank you. I am trying to do the best I can what ever I do.Sometimes is hard but eventually I am happy when nice people like you recognize my effort. I visited your blog and noticed that you are very active person. Having a book is a great thing and I congratulate you. I also watched video you recommended. Waiting for your new art work :)
Congratulations on getting published, Cookie! This is an amazing series. I'm sure the book will be fantastic! I'm very happy for you!
I know exactly how many stars i sprinkled 41. There were 41 pieces in that series and I looked at every one of them. if there would have been 141, then I would given that many stars. Absolutely outstanding work.
I love the images of your "Society Series". Not only are they beautiful and evocative images with excellent color choices they are rich in meaning and depth. They use of the birds is very interesting to me. To me represent evil or at least oppression, especially the swarms of them. Using them as recurring image is very effective. I hope I did't offend you if I misread the symbolism of the birds. Even if I'm wrong they are still very beautiful and powerful images images
Thank you, and I'm elated that you shared your thoughts on the series, I created it so others can relate to it in their own way, since birds are very symbolic in many different ways, different thoughts about them can apply to different images. They represent not only evil, freedom, hope, but also messengers, and the list goes on. They in themselves are a society. The wires can represent a connection or even power. These things we see everyday and pass by them without a thought, is similar to the "in your face" news media, it's there and at times you can get immuned to all the troubles because there is so much going on all the time. In fact, that was the origin of this series. I couldn't escape the events of the day so I chose to produce something positive for me, an escape route.
Thanks for the explanation of the different symbols. I find them even more interesting now. They are well thought out and and expressed in each image. Again a beautiful and rich series. I this e series done or are you working on more. I saw the st
Whoops, I saw your wordpress sight and the story about being surprised by a story about your work, that must have been a great surprise
This will be an ongoing series, but I am currently creating a book for 45 of the images to the series. Next year this series will start to evolve into mixed media pieces. So I'm excited.

If you're out looking around for a dentist, therefore chances are that you won't only be looking for a dentist, but especially for a great dentist. In the face of all this, as you go searching for a personal dentist, you might find a checklist of 'attributes' that go in the making of a good dentist handy.
Incontestably, a great dentist is one that has some degree of professional kindness in them. But given two dentists – one who seems to be of genuinely kind disposition and another who seems to be simply 'professionally kind' most of us would opt for the apparently genuinely kinder dentist. The need for a kind dentist is especially great if you are searching for family dentist, and you happen to get some young kids. This is given that in the event your dentist doesn't come across as really kind to your own kids, they may develop an aversion to him or her – and hence to all future dentists (so planting in their minds the seeds of dental phobia).
A good dentist is one who's easily reachable. Sometimes, dental emergencies do occur, and you may need to really have a dentist who can at least advice you particularly in the moment on what the best plan of action is, even if he or she is not directly available for consultation.
In a lot of people's opinion, a great dentist is one who's seasoned. It really is appreciated that dentistry is a very practical field, one in which expertise in various procedures does come in handy. Many individuals, however, do consider dentists with post graduation experience better candidates for retention as private dentists.
In a lot of people's opinion, too, a good dentist is 1 with whom you can create good connection with easily. This is possibly part of the first point mentioned, with regard to a great dentist being sort – but it's worth of special mention on its own. If you go for a regular dental visit to a 'random dentist' and you find yourself creating good connection over the course of your own consultation session, you might consider making him or her your personal dentist.

I'm not no -- many of you were among the millions who watched the -- 2012.
Video on YouTube that went viral over several days just a few weeks ago unusual film is now being published.
Trying to help rebuild Ugandan communities through a spirit of forgiveness how would you like to be joined now by Daniel -- -- it was associate professor.
A political -- some peace studies at the university of note today a great to see you professor thank you very much for being here.
Good for you Jonathan I tell me a little bit about this film.
Well we wanted to produce a film that would tell a different side of the story namely.
Remarkable people who are practicing.
Forgiveness and reconciliation.
In the wake up civil war that has inflicted terrible atrocities.
And it didn't.
Explain the atrocities a little bit I mean I think a lot of people a lot of our viewers have obviously seen the -- 2012.
The film.
But explain to -- you'll woods.
What kind of atrocities.
Will perpetrated -- in those years there was a wolf -- -- in Uganda.
-- -- 2012 is really write about -- Joseph colony in the Lord's Resistance Army dead.
-- they have -- -- thousands of child soldiers and force them by gunpoint to go back into villages and commit terrible atrocities against the so that civilians there.
And so you had done thousands of children who were abducted -- you had one to two million internally displaced people.
You had.
A huge problem that once.
Conflict -- down there was a huge need for re integration for.
These display displaced people in child soldiers to go back to their villages to take up life again.
So how does how does simply for giving it -- professor.
It's a good question forgiveness is not easy and and it's not simple.
The religious leaders who advocated forgiveness and showed extraordinary leadership in this regard.
One -- forgiveness to be accompanied by a process -- repentance a process of reparations.
A process of reintegration into village life often with the help of traditional tribal rituals that have been used for centuries to.
Deal with wrongdoers and reintegrate them back into the life of the community.
So -- have.
You seen no evidence that this is good simply being able to forgive.
Is working and is helping the healing process.
I have I took a research trip over there in January.
And with the question is this really true can it be that people are really forgiving and these kinds of circumstances.
Circumstances a mass atrocity.
Almost uniformly the answer I got was yes.
To a very wide degree ordinary ugandans have embraced forgiveness and reconciliation.
Again in the context of many other measures.
Like com repentance and truth telling and reparations and and so forth.
But it is remarkable how widespread it has happened.
And through that they've been able to build peace and to a significant degree they still have a long way to go but the strides that they've made are very impressive how one.
Walton is -- professor do you believe for the people of Uganda and those who have suffered.
That -- Joseph coney is brought to justice I -- there was -- a suggestion from some quarters when the company 2012.
Movie became so mom ubiquitous.
That it was perhaps that now an irrelevance and we had to.
Look more to the sort of project you're talking about forgiveness and looking to the future rather than the past do you think he needs to be brought to justice.
I do I think -- 2012 has that part right.
It is true that -- has not been in Uganda for some three years now he's been on the landing nearby African countries -- -- it's still continuing to perpetrate atrocities.
With about 250.
Soldiers under his under his command.
And I think he needs to be stopped just in order to protect these people in yes he should be tried he should do time.
The other thing I would emphasize and what our video you've gone to the challenge of forgiveness emphasize is that there's a whole other side of the story -- peace building.
One in which -- religious leaders play a vital role.
One in which thousands of ugandans are participating they're drawing upon the religious faith their own rituals and traditions.
And -- so yes.
Apprehending -- has to be part of the picture.
And there was popular support for that's great popular support that is diminished somewhat now ugandans much more want peace.
One normalcy to return to their lives but I think.
Most of them would say that yes -- coney can be caught then yes that's a good thing so.
There's -- there's an argument to to try Joseph -- a powerful argument in you'll.
View but -- basic message from this movie Uganda the challenge of forgiveness.
Is that the human spirit is what can really try and fail would that be -- Yes I would say so.
One of the things I understand -- how can people forget given these terrible mass atrocities.
Is the deep religious faith the Christian faith the people of northern Uganda as well as the presence of tribal traditions.
That are deeply ingrained in their way of life.
And the role of tribal elders and helping people to reintegrate those act as very powerful resources.
In that particular culture which they can draw upon for this massive task of re integration.
But yes there is something called the human spirit that is necessary people have to.
Drop looked away within themselves for strength -- look to god for the grace and that is absolutely crucial.
And -- Professor the front let you go just very quickly where can people with view this movie if they want to learn more about Uganda the challenge of forgiveness.
But they still are a sponsor the passer instituted is now on YouTube and the -- video I guess that's called it sun.
-- the challenge of forgiveness you can easily Google let's send -- we'll come right up.
All right Daniel still thought associate professor of political -- and peace studies of the universe you know today.
Great to have you it's a great movie I at urge everybody to go and watch it as soon as they candidate thank you so much.

Colors are exactly what I was hoping for, size is great, quality looks good so far! For the money, this cannot be beat!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.After looking for the right area rug for WEEKS I ordered this one... it's great! I got the 6x9 size in my living room under a 40in dining table and it's perfect! the colors are more bold than they appear in the photo, which is lovely! the pile was medium thinkness, not too much or too little (more than an outdoor rug). Great price and quick shipping... will shop RugsUSA again!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Loved color and everything about it! I was very skeptical of ordering a rug online but I am very pleased. Will buy more from this site.
Great rug! Very durable and beautiful color. Really makes my family room pop!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I was so encouraged by the great reviews I didn t hesitate to order this rug. Yes, this rug is gorgeous and soft in person. I was in love with it when it arrive and quickly placed it in our living room. That s where the love ends sadly. The quality of this rug is horrible and not made for even light everyday use. We don t have a large or busy family (just myself, my husband and a 20 month old) and the rung was placed in a room we don t spend a lot of time in. However, within a week it was battered and starting to fray in multiple places. Thinking it wasn t a huge deal I trimmed them and was still satisfied. However, after a month, there were snags, pulls, and thread all over the place. It was a disaster! It saw barely three months of use before it was falling apart, not even worthy of being donated. I have had great success with ordering other rugs online but this purchase was a complete disappointment and waste of money!
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.This rug is gorgeous! I love it! It does not shed like the wool ones and it is much more substantial than I expected. The colors are dreamy too. This is my absolute favorite rug I have ever seen. I am so glad I got it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is amazing! In person it is absolutely gorgeous, the tan color is more subtle and the silver-blue is perfect. I get so many compliments on this rug, highly recommended!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.2nd purchase from RUGS USA, and I'm satisfied once again! I'm using this rug in my front entrance way and it instantly warms up the space. The colors are pretty accurate... maybe a touch brighter in person.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.i love this rug. it was just what i wanted for our dining room. great colors. great quality.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Very nice rug for the money. Love the colors and texture, it will be perfect in the room I'm using it in. Definitely recommend & loved the price.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a beautiful rug! The quality is superb and the thickness is great for the amount paid. Note: The beige looking details are darker than the photo shows and looks a little on the gold side. But if you pair it with other dark beige items, you shouldn't be able to notice!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I got such a great deal on this rug, and another similar to it. I was holding my breath for it to come, cause I was worried the quality would not be too great. But I love this rug. I put it in my bedroom, and I love walking barefoot on it, and so do my toes! I laid it over my berber carpet, and it is the perfect thickness. Its not too bulky that I am tripping over it, and not so thin that it shifts around all the time. I def recommend it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.My husband and I are extremely pleased with this rug! It is very soft, the colors are exactly what we were looking for and we love the thickness (not too thin, not too thick). My husband commented that this is a rug he can actually lay on without it being scratchy like our pricey wool rug. It is a great buy and looks great under our beige upholstered bed. The colors are pretty accurate - maybe a tad lighter in person.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

-- this story middle school student in Pennsylvania stirring up a lot of controversy by refusing to recite the pledge of allegiance in class the girl just thirteen years old.
Says that she is now being punished for remaining silent.
Instead of praising the stars and stripes it looks like she's has the ACLU on her side.
-- driving us to discuss this is he represented -- for the browns Ville area school district that is just south of Pittsburgh.
Lawyer Jim Davis is here mr.
Davis thanks so much for being with us.
Thank you good morning so the story is this this she refused to step -- the pledge and then some administrators at the school gave her detention.
And wrote her up for in school suspension she says that her rights were trampled on did this school make a mistake in how they dealt with her.
You know I don't wanna say that the school made a mistake I I think -- it happen.
Initially the the instructor involved.
Probably saw this as a disciplinary issue.
By the time it got to me as the -- -- the attorney.
And I was able to let the district -- inform -- as to what the applicable law was.
I think we moved quickly to resolve the matter.
To not implement any disciplined.
And to permit the student as is her constitutional right.
To sit during the pledge of allegiance.
Yeah -- and let let me just stop -- there because not everyone is happy.
With your decision not to move forward frankly -- -- discipline.
In this case because some people in your district -- say what message does that send other students about respecting our country.
Well you deep the problem in I don't know there's a problem I think you we have to take constitutional issue very seriously we are a public body.
We don't have to white.
That the supreme court's interpretation.
We don't have to agree with their decisions but as a public -- We are duty bound to implement and -- over the decisions of the Supreme Court and in this case that the Supreme Court of the United States -- As -- decisions and and found that a student has the right to sit and not stand for the pledge of allegiance.
And that Supreme Court decision you're referring to we have a little excerpt of -- this is from 1943.
In which the justices decided if there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation.
It is that no official high or petty.
Can describe what shall be orthodox in politics nationalism religion or other matters of opinion or force citizens to get -- By their word or act their face there and -- she doesn't have to stick hand.
For the pledge of allegiance so does that mean that now her lawsuit goes away as you understand it.
Well I I don't want to comment specifically our lawsuit I can't say whether it goes away.
That's really question that you would have to ask her counsel.
We -- in that as far as the district is concerned we want to move as expeditiously as possible to resolve the lawsuit.
We want to do that we think it's in the interest of our taxpayers in the interest of our school to do that -- Worked diligently in that in that direction.
As far as the media claims that have been made I can't comment specifically but I can't say that the -- -- will not implement.
Discipline again.
It gets back to the point I've made earlier you don't have to like or agree yeah decision of the Supreme Court but you've got to abide by we are school district.
Got -- Jim Davis you are from the Brownsville area school district we thank you for coming in and explaining all this just by the way we also reached out to the ACLU for comment.
They did not respond in time for this segments.

I Quit!
I am handing in my notice. The working conditions are intolerable, the pay below the minimum wage, the hours are long, with no overtime and I am working well over government guidelines of a 37 hour week. No sick days are allowed or holidays. The employees I am in charge of are an unruly bunch, all of them are on final warnings. They have not improved or met their targets since the last assessment. I will not be working my notice. I have had enough and plan to walk today. If I can find a box, I will pack up my 'desk' and do one.
A Confused Take That Fan.
The response:
The management thanks you for all your hard work and wishes you every success in the future. Leave your key and any company property behind. You may keep your mobile and company car for one week until you can make alternative arrangements.
And I am not kidding. That was his response.
He makes me laugh, so I think I might stay. I actually quite fancy the boss...
and the employees, although naughty are really rather gorgeous...

Hi sweetie, yes, wouldn't it be nice. Just to clear that desk! Just like i did at work before i went on maternity leave! Still remember that day 13 years ago.
I know i used to say to Husband i didn't want to go out with him anymore. And he used to point out that we were bound by marriage and not going steady. how pendantic is that! xxxx - 27 January 2009 20:21

You didn't read the article in the Times about the Ultimo woman, did you? She gives her children/husband/army of nannies KPIs (key performance indicators) for the week! I thought about introducing it but knew I would fail to meet mine.
I think you should hold out for redundancy. The pay out will keep you in shoes and chocolate cake for weeks.

How about going freelance and contracting back your services? Then you can charge a lot more, pick and choose when you do it (like when they're looking really cute and cuddly) and go to the spa when you feel like it. The only argument you'll ever have with the Boss is over late paid invoices...

Think you should stay on... the pension and retirement bit might be a little less stressful! I had my "employee" on numerous final warnings yesterday and then the "boss" went and overruled me and put her on disciplinary! I know it's not grown up to sulk but I did... all day!

Or instead of going freelance, maybe you could subcontract some of the work and stay in bed?

13,000 extra pupils to get free school meals
1:00pm Friday 20th September 2013 in News By Debbie Waite, Features writer
AN EXTRA 13,000 schoolchildren could soon be sitting down to a free school lunch.
And the news has been met with cautious enthusiasm around the county.
Free school meals are currently only available to children whose parents are on benefits or earn less than £16,190 a year.
But Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has pledged all children in reception to year two would receive a free school lunch from September 2014.
In Oxfordshire, 9,506 children now have free school meals. Until 2014 school intakes are calculated it is impossible to say exactly how many extra children will qualify. But on current figures, there are 22,215 children in maintained and academy schools in those age groups – which would add 13,000 more children to the free meals list.
Hannah Forder-Ball, early years manager at St Gregory the Great School in Cricket Road, Oxford, said: "For many children, not necessarily here, that meal will be the only cooked meal they get in a day.
"It's not just promoting healthy eating and understanding but it is actually promoting the social skills that come with eating together.
"I think it is a really good initiative if it can be effectively funded without detriment to other services for children and young people.""
Steve Dew, headteacher at Church Cowley St James School in Bartholomew Road, said: "It's a great idea, particularly for parents that are busy, because they can be assured children are having hot meals and being fed.
"As a school with our Healthy Schools badge, we can ensure it is healthy food they are having and monitor their intake."
A free school lunch will be worth about £400 a year to a family.
Anna Thorne, manager of Donnington Doorstep Family Centre in Townsend Square, said: "I think it is a really great idea that should be extended to all school-age children. The short-term costs will be offset by the long term gains in terms of better health and educational outcomes for children. "Some research has shown that providing free lunches can have a more significant impact on improved educational achievement than direct educational interventions. Providing this for all children removes the stigma that is often still attached to children having free school meals."
Earlier this month the Oxford Mail revealed that children who qualify for free school meals have made big strides in their exam results, with 59 per cent gaining five A* to C GCSEs compared with 37 per cent in 2005, and 25 per cent gaining A-Levels or their equivalent, up from 17 per cent over the same period.

FSOC: Threats to U.S. Market Stability Continue
In its annual report to Congress July 18, the Financial Stability Oversight Council identified several key ongoing threats to U.S. financial stability, including continued economic instability in Europe and the ending of numerous tax cuts and unemployment benefits at the close of 2012, The New York Times reported.
The council, which was created by the Dodd-Frank Act and consists of representatives from the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, noted in its report that large financial institutions in the U.S. may still have concentrated exposures or complex trading systems that could result in large losses given a change in short-term interest rates.
The council also identified eight financial market utilities as "systemically important" and it wants to subject them to stricter oversight. Those include financial entities overseen by the SEC: the Depository Trust Company, the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, the National Securities Clearing Corporation and the Options Clearing Corporation, the Times reported.
Others are overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and include the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, ICE Clear Credit, Clearing House Payments Company and CLS Bank International.
The council also would like to see greater tightening of mortgage servicing standards.
According to the Times, the council still sees the biggest threat as activities in the euro zone. "A systemic crisis in Europe, in which contagion and spillover effects spread widely among euro area countries and markets, represents significant risk for U.S. institutions," the council noted in its report.
The FSOC also is concerned about how the expiration of individual tax cuts and extended unemployment benefits at the close of 2012 will impact financial stability if Congress fails to address them.

To reduce the possibility of injury, as well as extending your time on the slopes, you should engage in some ski training exercises before your next ski vacation.
Because you use your legs so much during skiing, it's important to build the muscles in your legs. This will also give you additional strength and endurance. If you belong to a gym or health club, use the leg machines to build muscle and strength. Do three sets of 10 repetitions with both legs. Follow this by reducing the weight by half and doing the same exercise on each leg individually.
If you don't have access to a gym, you can still work your legs. Do lunges. These are also an overall body work out as well. When doing lunges, make sure your knees don't go past your ankles to reduce the possibility of injury. In addition, squats are beneficial to your ski training, especially if you combine them with hand weights.
Another part of your ski training is to increase your aerobic endurance. You can do this be engaging in circuit training. Simply run or jog for a minute and then perform some muscle toning exercises. Repeat this three to four times. If you have access to a ski training machine, stair climber, stationary bikes and such, these are also great ways to improve your endurance.
To improve your flexibility, you'll want to include stretching in your training regime. By improving your flexibility through stretching exercises you'll be better able to adjust to directional changes while skiing.


text: For Susan Damiani '87CBA, the future of St. John's University begins today. As Director of the Office of Gift Planning, she is responsible for offering our alumni and friends a variety of ways to include St. John's in their estate plans while, at the same time, helping to protect their own financial security. "In my position, I really feel like I'm an educator," she said. "Many people don't understand what planned giving means, because it sounds like such a technical term. I explain to them that it's nothing more than agreeing to make a future gift to St. John's, so that the University knows that down the road it can rely on continued funding to help our students and keep our mission strong. That's really all there is to it." Damiani noted that most planned giving donors are 55 years of age or older, primarily because younger individuals are not as concerned with making a will or planning their estates. She is committed to doing what she can to encourage younger donors to consider making a planned gift as a way of ensuring that future students will be able to enjoy the benefits of a St. John's education. "Many people in the younger age bracket either don't know that much about estate planning or they're just not concentrating on their own financial planning, even though they should be," she said. "A single professional in his or her mid-40s can be a great planned giving donor, and an important part of my job is getting out in front of alumni of all ages and educating them about the ways to give back." After earning her B.S. in Marketing from St. John's College of Business Administration, this energetic alumna began her career in the Public Relations Department of Advertising Age, where she planned events and conferences in locations around the world. She then transitioned into the non-profit sector, working for the Diocese of Brooklyn as Associate Director of the Futures in Education Foundation. Her duties included supervising the Be An Angel To A Student Program, where she was responsible for recruiting donors to sponsor the Catholic school education of children from economically burdened families. "That was really a special project," she recalled. "There were a lot of families that couldn't afford to provide their children with a Catholic education, and the generosity of some wonderful donors helped to change the lives of those families and their children forever. I'm very proud to have been a part of that program." Arriving at St. John's in 2005 to assume her current position, Damiani was overwhelmed by the changes that had taken place on campus since her student days. "When I came for my first day of work, I almost didn't recognize the University with so many new buildings and programs. To see where we are today with our global presence is amazing and very exciting." Among the things she enjoys most about working at St. John's is the opportunity to interact with the members of The McCallen Society, a special donor recognition group for individuals who have made a planned gift to the University. She also enjoys planning and participating in events for alumni who attended either the Lewis Avenue or Schermerhorn Street campus, welcoming the chance to reach out to St. John's most senior alumni as an opportunity to put her Vincentian ideals into action. "My life is really intertwined with theirs," she said. "and over the years so many have really become my friends. I see that sometimes they need extra help, like they may be going to an event and they'll ask me to join them for company. I'm helping one person right now who has no family and is looking to sell her house and move into an assisted-living center. That's how I carry out my Vincentian mission. I have the opportunity to go and help people, which makes my job so rewarding."
