on Feb. 16, 1863. He's buried in East Canaan (Conn.) Cemetery.

Tired, hungry and thirsty, Private Milo J. Freeland and his comrades in the 54th Massachusetts hugged the beach on the morning of July 18, 1863, as Federal land batteries and warships in the Atlantic traded fire with the 1,700-man Rebel garrison inside Fort Wagner.
|Recruiting poster for 54th Massachusetts.
(Massachusetts Historical Society)
Although some soldiers in the regiment had gobbled down hard bread from a rain-soaked box found on the beach near Fort Wagner, most of the black troops had little to eat or drink since their baptism of fire two days earlier. At nearby James Island, the regiment suffered 14 men killed, 18 wounded and three missing in a skirmish described as a "supreme moment for the Fifty-fourth." (2) A historic event, it was the first major battle in which black troops had been deployed during the Civil War.
"The sight of wounded comrades had been a trial," the regimental historian noted. "And the screaming shot and shell flying overhead, cutting the branches of trees to the right, had a deadly sound. But the dark line stood stanch, holding the line at a vital point."
The attack on Fort Wagner would prove to be much different -- and much deadlier. Instead of taking a supporting role, the 54th Massachusetts -- one of the first black units in the Union army and soon to be the most famous -- had been ordered to spearhead the attack. And the assault was to be made at night, a rare occurrence during the Civil War.
|A period map shows forces arrayed against Fort Wagner,
near Charleston, S.C. , in July 1863. (Library of Congress collection)
Training at Camp Meigs in Readville, near Boston, the 54th Massachusetts was looked at as a curiosity at first.
"Every day, but especially on Sundays, large numbers of visitors were present," the regimental historian noted. "Many ladies graced the camp with their presence. People came from distant places to witness the novel sight of colored troops in quarters and on the drill ground." Even the Massachusetts governor and U.S. Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase visited the camp in late April to review the 850-man regiment. (3)
Because Union commanders were hesitant to use black troops in battle, the 54th Massachusetts was initially used only for manual labor. But with recruiting lagging and battlefield losses mounting, the army gradually warmed to the idea of using black troops in combat.
As twilight arrived on July 18, 1863, the men of the 54th Massachusetts, deadly serious, prepared to attack Fort Wagner about 3/4-mile away. "Among the dark soldiers who were to lead veteran regiments which were equal in drill and discipline to any in the country, there was a lack of their usual light-heartedness," the regimental historian noted, "for they realized, partially at least, the danger they were to encounter." (4)
|Milo Freeland was among the lucky ones in the 54th Massachusetts. He survived the attack on
Fort Wagner on July 18, 1863. Many of his comrades were listed as missing in action on
this muster roll and presumed dead. (CLICK ON IMAGE TO ENLARGE.)
Supported by the 6th Connecticut, the 54th Massachusetts, bayonets fixed, charged toward the rebel fort. Under artillery fire, many of the Union soldiers stumbled or fell into the many large shell holes caused by Union naval or land batteries. Hit by flanking fire, the 54th Massachusetts slogged through a ditch filled with water before charging up the slope to the fort, where they slugged it out with the defenders. George Stephens, a sergeant in Company B and the son of a lay preacher, described the scene:
The 54th, undaunted by the hellish storm, pushed up to the work, down into the moat, and like demons ascended the parapet, found the interior lined with rebels soldiers who were well sheltered and fought them one hour before we were re-enforced; and when the regiment reached us, the 3d New Hampshire, which was presumed to be our re-enforcements, they, to a man, emptied their rifles into us. Thus we lost nearly as many men by the bullets of our presumed friends as by those of our known enemies. Some few entered the fort, and when they got in, it was so dark that friends could not be distinguished from foes, and there is no doubt but that many a Union soldier was killed by his comrades. On the whole, this is considered to be a brilliant feat of the 54th. It is another evidence that cannot now be denied, that colored soldiers will dare go where any brave men will lead them. (5)
Although Freeland survived the attack, the 54th Massachusetts was routed. Colonel Shaw was among nine officers killed, and 100 were missing and 247 more wounded. Many of the missing had been killed and were later tossed by the Rebels into a trench near the fort along with Shaw, whose efforts to mold the regiment were recounted in the terrific 1989 movie "Glory."
Freeland served the rest of the war with the 54th Massachusetts, which also fought the battles of Olustee (Florida), Honey Hill (Georgia) and Boykin's Mill (South Carolina) after its epic fight at Fort Wagner. Mustered out of the Union army on Aug. 20, 1865, in Mount Pleasant, S.C., he returned to his wife Sophronia in Sheffield. By July 1880, their family had grown to five children: daughters Jesse, 9, and Sarah, 2, and sons Eugene, 5; Harry, 3, and Benjamin, 1 month. In the 1880 U.S. census, Milo's occupation was listed as farmer, Sophronia's was "keeping house."
Within the next three years, Freeland moved 10 miles south, to East Canaan, a sparsely populated town in the northwestern part of Connecticut. He died there at age 43 on April 16, 1883, 20 years after he enlisted in the Union army. He's buried bear the base of a steep hill in aptly named Hillside Cemetery in East Canaan. Three American flags and an old, broken Grand Army of the Republic marker adorned his slate-gray gravestone during a recent visit. Inscribed on the marker are these words:
The First Colored Man enlisted from the North in The Rebellion of 1861

'Carp comes to an end as Congress adjourns'-A A +A
Friday, June 13, 2014
WITH the adjournment of Congress Tuesday, the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (Carp) is over.
"Congress has already adjourned and failed to pass (the bill extending it)," said Negros Occidental Governor Alfredo Marañon Jr., who has been opposing another extension of Carp that is set to expire by the end of the month.
On Wednesday, President Benigno Aquino III certified as urgent the passage of House Bill No. 4296 that will extend the land reform program for two more years to ensure the completion of its land acquisition and distribution (LAD) component.
Representative Alfredo Benitez (third district) said that Congress will resume in July during the President's State of the Nation Address.
However, Congress can hold a special session if the President will call for it, he said.
Moreover, Marañon said that with the end of Carp, the country is seen to attract more investors and fully develop its agriculture potentials.
"I have been telling the Department of Agrarian Reform to concentrate on support services. Land distribution is easy but what is important is the welfare of the agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs)," the governor said.
He added: "We should give them support services to uplift and alleviate their lives. A total of P150 billion was already spent on Carp but only about three percent of the ARBs have improved living conditions."
The governor had earlier appealed to congressmen and senators not to extend the Carp anymore.
"Agriculture is the strength of our nation and Carp has been detrimental to it," Marañon said.
Negros Occidental has the biggest LAD balance of 100,395 hectares among the 20 provinces that comprise the bulk of the nationwide balance of 422,440 hectares or 78 percent of the 539,666-hectare balance nationwide.
In certifying House 4296 as urgent, President Aquino said it is crucial to address the immediate need to extend the operation of the LAD program under the Carp.
"As a constitutionality mandated undertaking, it is imperative that the State ensure the completion of an agrarian reform program dedicated to the ideal of a just and equitable distribution of land among tenant farmers," the President said.
He added that despite the Carp's initial success in implementing agrarian reform, a substantial portion of the country's agricultural lands remains beyond the program's coverage.

WACO, Texas — The last time Bob Stoops came to Floyd Casey Stadium, he went home whipped, taking stock of his defense.
This time Stoops came to Floyd Casey, he went home whipped, taking stock of his offense.
WACO, Texas — The last time Bob Stoops came to Floyd Casey Stadium, he went home whipped, taking stock of his defense.
This time Stoops came to Floyd Casey, he went home whipped, taking stock of his offense.
Good thing Stoops won't have to return to this bound-for-the-wrecking-ball coliseum. He might have to take stock of his entire program.
Which wouldn't be such a bad idea, come to think of it.
Baylor whipped OU 41-12 Thursday night in a verdict that most saw coming, but few in this manner. With the Baylor defense dominating.
The 12, not the 41, was the embarrassment of this blowout loss to what not so long ago was the Big 12's doormat.
Baylor's offense can light you up. But when Baylor's defense shuts you down, there is trouble in Soonerville.
"Defensively, they were all over us all day," Stoops said.
This was bad. On a night when the OU defense held up for longer than anyone had a right to expect, the offense did not pull its weight.
"It's extremely disappointing that we didn't come out and play better," offensive coordinator Josh Heupel said. The reasons were many.
"Throwing and catching it," Heupel said. "Third-down conversions. Being more efficient running the football. The penalties that get us behind the chains."
The Sooners finished with just 237 total yards. The only touchdown came on a third-quarter drive that was full of innovation (inside screen, fake reverse, a rollout pass) and execution but served only as a reminder of how futile were OU's other 13 possessions.
This was a performance so rotten, it makes you wonder if Heupel's or Blake Bell's or anyone's job is safe.
Stoops said Bell wasn't the problem Thursday night and would remain the OU quarterback. That's probably true, though you wonder if Bell will keep the job going into 2014, when the Sooners will have a veteran team but will need a quality QB to return to championship status.
Bell was not good at all against Baylor, but he wasn't the only suspect.
The Sooners failed to block the Bears at the point of attack. If this OU team can't run on this Baylor team, the Sooners have no chance.
"They give you the box, you've got to block it," said OU center Gabe Ikard. "There's no excuses for not being able to run the ball."
The accepted blueprint to beat Baylor is control the ball. OU ran for 98 yards on 34 carries. That won't get it done.

Actor/Recording artist Joseph Leo Bwarie to depart Jersey Boys for recording studio
LOS ANGELES, CA (August 9, 2012) – After a four year, 45-city run, actor Joseph Leo Bwarie, critically-acclaimed for his starring role as Frankie Valli in the 1st National Tour of the hit musical Jersey Boys, will depart the production on August 12, 2012 to begin work on his second solo studio album. Bwarie said, "I will forever be a champion of Jersey Boys and the talented people who bring this incredible show to audiences everywhere, however, I look forward to this great opportunity to explore and expand my brand of music."
"Joe Leo" is the working title of Bwarie's second collaboration with legendary producer/arranger Charles Calello. The duo have reassembled much of the personnel for the upcoming live session dates at Criteria Recording Studios in Miami, FL and at Capitol Records in Hollywood, CA. "We are approaching modern big band in a very dynamic, theatrical way – Calello and I have had fun filling this record with unexpected surprises and the track list is some of the best of the American Songbook," continued Bwarie. Expect the lush arrangements and powerful vocals to rival those from his debut along with fresh Latin inspired tracks featuring powerhouse percussionists Paulinho Da Costa and Tito Puente, Jr.
Bwarie's first solo record, "Nothin' But Love," hit stores in June, 2011. iTunes deemed the Traditional Pop/Swing record "New and Noteworthy," and the pop-jazz crossover quickly climbed into the top 10 iTunes Jazz chart. Independently-released, "Nothin' But Love" has garnered attention across the globe remaining in the top 10 for 52 solid weeks on www.popjazzradio.com – breaking all records for the European site. Additionally, Bwarie's songs can be heard on the radio in the U.S., Canada, South America, Spain, Italy, Germany and the U.K.
"This record is going to pick up where "Nothin' But Love" left off with the Bwarie spin on classics by Irving Berlin, Johnny Mercer, Duke Ellington and many other greats. I can't wait to share this with fans across the country and abroad, whose enthusiasm for the Bwarie brand of music is so inspiring to me as an independent artist," shared Bwarie.
The record release is planned for early 2013. With interest from venues across the country, concert dates will be announced in the coming months. For more information about Bwarie or his upcoming album, visit www.JosephLeoBwarie.com, like on Facebook.com/JosephLeoBwarieFanPage or follow him on Twitter @JosephLeoBwarie.

Booming population growth and oil and gas development around Dallas and Forth Worth are wringing the last drops of water out of an area in the grips of drought, according to Greenwire.
Supreme Court wades into bitter Oklahoma-Texas water feud ahead of expected 'flood of litigation'
But it's a different picture about 100 miles up the highway in southeast Oklahoma. From a helicopter, about 300 feet up, you see lush areas the size of football fields with glistening puddles saturated by the nearby Kiamichi River.
The Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex maintains it has a right to that water under the 1980 Red River Compact among Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas. Until now, no state has sought to draw water from another using the compact. They haven't needed it.
Oklahoma disagrees and has circled its wagons around its water. The more-than-10-year feud has become as deeply ingrained as football rivalries between the two states, and Oklahoma has enacted laws that effectively ban the sale of water to Texas for fear the Lone Star State will suck it dry.

Experts in Marketing say companies should evaluate their image on a regular basis. Imaging and branding is very important and could be the difference between someone forgetting about your business, or inversely someone becoming a regular client and referring others.
Here's some things to think about when evaluating company image and brand:
-What is the message you want to convey to the market
-How do you think you can communicate this message as clearly as possible
-Would your logo or business card stand out on a desk full of business cards in the same industry?
- How do your customers perceive you? Is it the same as how you would like to be perceived?

Read: Rick Nash Is Valuable, Clutch and Reminds Henrik Lundqvist Of Jaromir Jagr
Rick Nash has seven goals this season and all have come in the third period.
Three of Nash's goals have given the Rangers the lead and he has been credited with one game winning goal.
Against the Flyers on Tuesday, Nash had two goals, including the game winner, and extended his point streak to seven games.
He has five goals and six assists in that time frame.
Joe Micheletti said that Nash has the "clutch" gene and has the rare ability to grab the puck and start raising people out of their seats with anticipation.
Brian Leetch said that Nash has slightly more value to the Rangers than Sidney Crosby has to the Penguins because Crosby has a teammate like Evgeni Malkin.
John Tortorella said after the game that Nash stepped up again in the third period, he has been comfortable and confident as a Ranger since his first day and now that the puck is going in, he is igniting the team.
Dave Maloney called Nash a "stupendous player."
Nash told ESPN NY that scoring goals is his job and that he loves playing in front of the fans at MSG.
When asked about Nash, Dan Girardi said on MSG, "I catch myself watching him sometimes. It's pretty great to have him on our team. It's pretty easy for me to get him the puck off the boards. I'll pick up those assists all day."
Henrik Lundqvist said that watching Nash bring a smile to his face, "It feels so good to have a player on the team who can be the difference every night. It's gonna be huge for us. We have a lot of guys who can step up, but he can bring it to another level."
Lundqvist then said that the way Nash is playing reminds him of how dominant Jaromir Jagr was when he was with the Rangers and at the top of his game.
Ryan McDonagh said of Nash, "we all just turn to each other in amazement. He scores and creates in so many different ways. He is calling for the puck all game which is what we want to see, He has confidence and confidence in his linemates."
Ryan Callahan says that Nash is "special" and steps up when the game is on the line.

Missing 1.06 Review "It's the only thing you've gotten right all day, princess!"
With it's sixth episode, A Busy Solitude, Missing's first season endgame gets alot clearer. For the most part the show vears in a 24-style direction, although, like before we are treated to Becka's sepia and soft focus memories of hubby Paul, this time it's giving birth (although we don't get to experience any of the traumatic aspects of that – sepia and soft focus, remember.) As such the show remains stubbornly bi-polar. On the plus side the action 24 part of the show has revved up to the point that it mostly overcomes the sweet womanly part. Mostly.
*spoilers warning*
The episode starts off with the ending of the cliffhanger, but our heroes don't get blown up since Becka remembers the map-coordinates where she and Paul first met. Yep, this family has a genetic habit of making groups of alpha-numeric code sentimental. This doesn't work for long, as Violet inadvertantly activates a (visible!)laser sensor and they all have to run before the house blows up. Nice that Paul has the bomb programmed not to blow before everyone can get clear. Sure he'll roll your taxi, but he doesn't actually want to kill anybody.
Meanwhile, son Michael and girlfriend in captivity Oksana are enjoying visualizing their escape. And odd bit of lack of smart here, since Oksana gets her dose of insulin every day, waiting to leave will only get them caught for stealing it. And, yes it does.
In the meantime, the CIA boss Jaime Ortega has had enough of Max's fooling around with Becka (I assume she doesn't care about his fooling around with his subordinates) and shows up just in time to see their latest lead go up in smoke. She, however, spends more time berating Max while ignoring Becka, so our heroine pulls a Jack Bauer and steals the CIA bosslady's helicopter. Really makes you wonder (and perhaps, �not wonder) how the CIA in this universe topples governments like they've done in reality.
Becka checks out Helios's operation, and spots a train being filled with some toxic material. Then she decides the only way to get to her son is by giving herself up to Asimoff as more leverage against Paul(?) leaving the CIA and poor houndog eyed Ginacarlo behind. Awww. poor other (italian) man. �At leas the two former lovers get to share some meaningful time in a Moscow train station.
Of course that leads to the more thrilling last half of the ep, where Michael and Oksana make a serious break for it (this includes lots of shooting and stabbing bad captor guy with a hypodermic.) In the meantime mom gets free of her captors and starts searching the chateau for signs of her son, with the CIA in hot pursuit. Yep, Becka is in top Jack Bauer/Jason Bourne-like form here, which is something we really get to little of in this show. �The scene where she escapes from being trussed up is almost worth the price of admission (which,�warranted�is actually zero, but still…)
This all is resolved pretty well, even if it is intercut with the soft focus scenes of Paul not being their for his son's (week's before schedule) birth. And despite him being a lying liar who lies, he still seems to want to be a good father. But, really, do good father's fake their own deaths and therefore skip most of their kids formative years? yeah, despite the sepia tones, I think not.
On the plus side, though, the ep ends with Michael and Oksana about to engage in some post-escape sex. Who need insulin when you can get it on after hopping a train?

Questions for Cesar Millan!

My dog Milo has very bad panic attacks. He has destroyed 3 crates. These happen at various times. He starts panting very heavy and has actually broken the metal on the crate to get out. He is on medicine now for them, but they still happen. He is a very nervous dog, he doesn't like some people. He has passed his CGC class and is very well mannered when on the prong collar. What else can I do to help him?
I have found another pet friend helps..sounds like anxiety or separation issues..so sorry..We love our pets…
I would personally love to know why is still using outdated techniques that do more harm than good, and the true number of how many dogs that he's "helped" that have needed to be put down after training due to increased aggression from his dominance methods.
Please ask Erin's question. Don't be just a fluff and stroke interviewer. Be interesting and challenging!
What Erin said!
What would be the best technique for barking? Moved from large property to mobile home park..I am socializing them: standard Chihuahua female 9, pug-peke 9and their son 8..by walking 3 times a day but they bark at residents as well as other dogs. I've been here for 1 month. They are friendly and love humans but other dogs really shake them up so I walk the other way to avoid the barking which is mostly the Mom Chihuahua who iniates..PLEASE HELP, THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP….Sandy…Mom of 3….
Easy answer would be to first stop walking them as a group. When they are a distance away from someone walking by (or other thing they react to) and not reacting, spill some high value treats on the ground.
Keep doing it and they will begin to associate people (or other things) approaching w/ positive things. Gradually add the other dogs.
This is a very short summary of how to do it. It would also help to take at least one, preferably the most reactive, to a group training class using modern method, positive, and proven by science to be more effective.
I have two poodle/bichon mix with Weiner dog and I got them when they were 2weeks old they are now 2 yrs old but recently my friend gave me a 1 yr old and 2month German shepherd and when I had her she was gentle with both my other dogs but recently she started attacking my female wiener dog and almost killed her she also wants to fight other little dogs she's ok with dogs her size I just want to know how I can help her and what to do if both my dogs can still get along or if they are never going to get along my Weiner dog is a female and she is scared of my German shepherd

Hi, I'm glad you're discovering my psychic house, a place where boundaries and limitations are based mostly on your own desires, insights, and feelings. For years I've dealt with opening up boundaries and categories—those of being straight, as well as of being gay (and a lot that's in-between and as yet undefined). So if these things are hang-ups to you, you might want to try another site. Also, some of the material here is for "adults," that is mature, but also fun-loving, wise, and kind people. Again, if these things are hang-ups to you, you might want to try another site.
Mostly, I want you to get to know my work, and the work of other artists, writers, poets, and musicians. What do we all have in common? Simply an openness toward what is not only new, but also deep and inspiring. If you feel that sex and sexuality have become stale, cold, and as isolating as so much of the rest of our too-commercialized life, then you'll find a home here. If you're looking for just another porno site in "li-trary clothing," then I'm afraid you're at the wrong place. But there are a lot of good things at this place and I hope you'll stick around and discover all of them. And I can't wait to hear from you, because you're too much a part of this site to sit there in the dark and silence.

Morris picks up third Late Models win
Late Model points leader Glenn Morris continued his charge to a second straight championship with this third win of the season at Senoia Raceway last Saturday.
It didn't come easy for the Fayetteville driver, who overtook Thomaston's Shane Fulcher on Lap 12 when his car lost power and dropped to the infield pit area.
Other winners from last week included Greenville's Thomas Mewborn in the B Cadets, Milner's Ben Wells in the Hobby Stocks and John Holcomb of Griffin in the Bomber class. Harold Leath also notched a victory in the Senoia Drug Company Mini Stock.
Morris' set-up allowed him to keep up with Fulcher in the Late Models feature.
"We found more speed with our car's set-up," Morris said. "The car rolls through the corners faster which keeps the speed up in the straights. Other guys have a lot more motor than we do."
Phenix City's Dana Eiland came home second to Morris while LaGrange's Dusty Jones battled throughout the 20-lap main with Columbus hot shoe Pat Wall. Jones passed Wall for good with only three circuits remaining to get a top three finish. Wall was fourth followed by LaGrange's Tod Darda.
Recapping other features:
B CADET: Former champion Thomas Mewborn rode the high side in the preliminary heat races to gain a front row outside starting position and then used that same groove to snare a lead that he would never let go during the feature race. Mewborn left the racing to the drivers in chase with Alabama's Roger Arnett in a dogfight with Bowdon's Wesley Lyle, with Lyle edging out Arnett for the runner-up position.
Newnan's Parrish Duncan was fourth, followed by Lake Spivey driver Dow Kirkland.
HOBBY STOCK: Ben Wells led until the halfway point before having to battle back to hold off a final challenge from Alabama driver Chris Storey for his first career win. Williamson's Houston 'Hoot Daddy' Hatchett passed him had a short-lived lead before spinning out. A hard-charging Mike Jenkins saw his night end when he bounced off a couple of cars and into the Turn 4 wall, sending Hatchett to the back of the pack. After returning, Hatchett tried to climb back into the race, but slipped up the track and hopped on to the Camaro driven by Kerry Carden of Brooks.
BOMBERS: Griffin's John Holcomb won his fourth feature of the season after powering past Riverdale driver Mike Ray with four laps remaining after Ray had led for much of the race from the green flag. Ray finished second ahead of Alex Rudolph, David Johnson and 89-year-old Pappy Powell of Hogansville.
MINI STOCK: Points leader Harold Leath padded his points lead with his fifth win of the season.
THIS WEEK: The fan-favorite Waterless Boat Race IV is scheduled for Saturday. Drivers will pull boats (without trailers) around the track and try to disengage their opponent's boats. The last one remaining with their boat still attached and being dragged is the winner.
"There will be over a dozen entries this season," promoter Tim Moses said. "The track will be full of boats and cars. In fact, I think one of the boats is actually an old jet ski."

Saskia Sassen to Give Sherrill Lecture, "Territory, Authority and Rights," Feb. 21
Saskia Sassen, the Ralph Lewis Professor of Sociology at the University of Chicago, and Centennial Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics, will deliver the 2004-05 Sherrill Lecture on Monday, February 21, at 4:30 p.m, in Room 127. Her talk is titled "Territory, Authority, and Rights: Emerging Assemblages/Specialized Normative Orders," and is free and open to the public.
Sassen's lecture examines various institutionalizations of territory, authority, and rights historically organized through the nation-state that are today becoming partly disaggregated into multiple specialized orders. These bring together "elements that were once part of more diffuse institutional domains within the nation state, or, in some cases, the institutionalized supranational system."
Sassen continues, "These developments raise questions about the future of crucial frameworks through which modern societies, economies, and polities (under the rule of law) have operated: governance of the economy, social democracy as we have come to understand it, citizenship."
Her empirical research for these trends focuses on transformations inside the state (particularly the changing relation of the Executive to Congress and to citizens), the relation of citizens to their national state (given human rights, transnationalism, amnesties for undocumented immigrants), various forms of private authority in the context of a global corporate economy, and the growing use of digital technology by state and non-state actors.
"Much analysis of current change suffers from a nation-state centric perspective," says Sassen. In part this is because elements of the nation state remain both powerful and essential for the functioning of society. "The administrative capability represented by the nation state remains critical and ... militarized border controls have mostly been sharpened rather than diluted in much of the world.... Yet even as the raw power of national states in many cases has increased, this may not necessarily mean that sovereign territorial authority has become more significant."
Critical to the analysis she develops is a set of distinctions between self-evidently global entities (WTO, IMF) and processes that denationalize what has historically been constructed as national, even though they keep being represented in the language of the national. Thus in Sassen's perspective, epoch-making transformations are not only to be found at the global scale, but also deep within the national; locating them takes some serious decoding.

Consumer prices unchanged in June 2012

In June, there was no change in the seasonally adjusted Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. Over the last 12 months, the all items index has increased 1.7 percent before seasonal adjustment.
The food index rose 0.2 percent in June after being unchanged in May. Both the index for food at home and the index for food away from home increased in June, with food at home rising 0.1 percent and food away from home rising 0.2 percent.
The energy index declined 1.4 percent in June, following declines of 1.7 percent in April and 4.3 percent in May. The gasoline, fuel oil, and electricity indexes all fell in June, falling 2.0 percent, 7.9 percent, and 0.5 percent, respectively. In contrast to these declines, the index for natural gas turned up in June, rising 1.7 percent after declining 4.1 percent in May.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.2 percent in June, the fourth straight such increase. Over the last 12 months, the index has risen 2.2 percent, a slight decrease from the 2.3 percent figure of March, April and May, but still above the 1.9-percent average annualized increase for the past ten years.

Getting your class to Knole for less
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Most schools come to Knole by coach but finding a reasonably-priced service can be a struggle. Here are our suggestions to make your visit more affordable.
Shop around
When we've needed to book a coach ourselves, we've found that one of the most highly recommended (by many teachers) and cheapest is Bigfield's Coaches of Tonbridge.
If you have trouble affording the coach fare, there are three options:
1. Free coach trip
If you're a school near Sevenoaks, you can apply for a free coach trip. Bigfield's Coaches has been kind enough to offer a free trip every year to a local school unable to afford the cost of the coach.
The nature of this gift means that a wait may be involved. If you can plan ahead, please email us explaining your situation and why you would like to apply for the trip.
2. By car
We can often accommodate several cars instead of a coach. If you would like to arrive this way – if parents can bring children, for example – ring us on 01732 467155 to arrange a suitable date.
3. We visit you
Alternatively, try our 'Knole in your classroom' service. We come to visit you, so you only pay for the activities and our travel expenses. We can demonstrate Tudor replica costumes if we visit you at your school. The children's costumes are presented as a fashion show, looking carefully at the detail of the costumes and the purpose of each feature. For example, why do the shoulders stick out just a little bit too far? And why are so many of the richest costumes black?
If we visit you, we can also bring some of our Tudor artefacts to complement the costumes. Our visit can include looking at some of Knole's portraits to see what can be learnt about the sitters from their clothes.
- For more information, email Barbara Taylor (Learning Co-ordinator) or call her on 01732 467155.

CARTHAGE The emergency shelter opened Wednesday at the American Legion Post on West Street will remain open tonight for those displaced from their homes because of recent flooding.
Three residents were at the shelter late Thursday afternoon, and the shelter is prepared to house more if necessary.
Cots, blankets, food and personal-hygiene items are available to those in need.
Those not displaced by the flood can receive help from the Red Cross in other ways.
Cleanup kits, including a broom, mop, bleach, bucket, gloves, trash bags and other cleaning supplies are available to homeowners affected by the flooding in Jefferson County. The time and location for the distribution of the kits is not yet known.
Local businesses have contributed bottled water for those in the Lowville area. Pepsi, P&C, Price Chopper and Walmart all contributed either bottles or gallon jugs of clean drinking water. The distribution of the water will be handled by the Lewis County Emergency Management office.
Getting help into the hands of residents as quickly as possible is the priority of the Red Cross in times of disaster, said Jane G. Gendron, community executive of the American Red Cross of Northern New York.
Red Cross volunteers will visit the affected areas to determine damage to the homes and work with the residents affected on both short-term cleanup and long-term recovery.
From our experience with floods and other disasters, direct distribution of relief items along with our outreach visits will speed up the recovery efforts for the affected residents in Northern New York, Ms. Gendron said.

The litter on Ogden Street NW makes him stop. Then it's the seatless bicycle locked to a lamppost, the tree with dead branches, then a graffiti-splattered mailbox. He sighs when he comes to the sidewalk dotted with a measles-like outbreak of blackened, flattened chewing gum.
Each discovery makes Terry Lynch press the redial button on his cellphone. He calls himself. Into his voice mail he recites the location ("1500 block of Ogden Street Northwest") and the problem ("Possible abandoned bike, missing seat, missing tires").

Symbol of Environmental Mismanagement in Russia to Close
June 28th, 2013
June 28th, 2013
The widely unpopular Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill will finally stop releasing toxic chemicals and other pollutants into pristine Lake Baikal, the pearl of Siberia. The mill's long-awaited closure comes after decades of hard advocacy work during which Pacific Environment, our local grassroots partners, and other allies championed sustainable economic alternatives like local ecotourism over harmful industrial projects.

Pacific Environment challenges Big Oils dirty projects all across the Pacificfrom California to Alaska and the Russian Far East. It turns out that even Big Oil's supposed clean-up plans are dirty. The dispersants they use during an oil spill disaster are toxic to people and wildlife. So we went to court, and as a result of our lawsuit the federal government must now analyze the effects of these dangerous chemicals on endangered wildlife in California waters.

I don't know if it's because I'm slightly OCD (but only on really random things) but Baby Girl's toys have to be just so. Otherwise it drives me insane. I didn't think I was going to be one of those moms. I really hope I grow out of it.
At first it was simple things. Those stupid magnetic letters. Every night I found myself finding lost pieces, fixing all of them and putting them all in order. Yeah, that was me. Huzzy used to move the pieces around just to mess with me. How do I know? Because Baby Girl can't spell naughty words yet, that's how.
One of these days I am going to have to relax my expectations a little bit. She's only a toddler, and really there's just no keeping up with the destruction. Last week I bought her a foam puzzle mat. I thought it would be so cute and colorful. Something nice for her to play on and protect my run.
What I expected:
|Note that we're already missing pieces....
What I got:
|Apparently it isn't a mat, it's a TOY
Five minutes. That's all the time it took for Baby Girl to completely destroy the entire mat. I've pieced it back together a couple times, but the result is always the same. I think I'm about to give up hope. So much for the nice play mat. She's already managed to lose pieces!

Event Summary
Informix Corporation (Nasdaq: IFMX), recently announced that i.Decide Web Success, an application promising to provide e-businesses a set of tools to integrate web data with enterprise data, would be available November 15. i.Decide Web Success has analytical capabilities that combine traditional business intelligence tools with web monitoring and analysis tools. Informix is able to integrate these two sets of tools by tapping its expertise in Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) and Database Management Systems (DBMS). See: Informix XML's Its Metadata Transport Data - for more information on Informix's technical proficiency in these areas. The product works by pulling web data, operational data (such as ERP), third party data, and legacy data into a central data repository. The merged data in the repository is then available for data analysis. Analytic capabilities within the front-end component include operations analysis, clickstream analysis, website visitor analysis, marketing effectiveness, and e-commerce merchandising and sales analysis.
Integration of traditional business intelligence with web analysis allows clicks-and-mortar organizations to identify customer demographics, online and offline buying habits, and web behavior. Personalization/recommendation engines and campaign management applications can then use data from i.Decide Web Success to perform their functions (i.Decide Web Success will supply data to Informix's personalization engine and content management software or to products from other vendors' such as BroadVision and Vignette).
i.Decide Web Success rounds out a broad offering of e-business applications from Informix. Other e-business applications include i.Sell, i.Reach and Media360. i.Sell is an e-commerce store-front product that consists of a personalization/recommendation engine and online transaction processing software. i.Reach is a web publishing solution. Media360 is a content management product that manages media assets (documents, web pages, videos, 3D images and other files) over intranets, extranets, and the Internet.
Market Impact
The market force behind the development of i.Decide Web Success is the increasing need for data integration and analysis across multiple channels such as web, call center, and point of sale. i.Decide's primary differentiator is that it integrates traditional business intelligence with web analysis. Informix competes with vendors such as Informatica and Business Objects in business intelligence and NetGenesis and WebTrends in web analysis, but few vendors deliver both capabilities. Information on other vendors that compete in this space can be found in the article: What Good Is Information If Nobody Sees It?.
Realizing that its strength lies in data integration, Informix is actively pursuing alliances to provide best of breed e-business applications to use i.Decide Web Success' central data repository as a platform. According to an Informix representative BroadVision and Vignette are likely partners. BroadVision can supply personalization and online transaction processing applications and Vignette can provide content management applications.
It makes sense for Informix to partner for these and other applications that can use the central data repository and the processes analysis, but this will undoubtedly cause confusion among IT decision makers. This is because significant overlap will likely exist between the i.Sell and i.Reach offerings and the partner offerings. This is an issue Informix should deal with before making any partner applications commercially available. Informix also purchased Ardent software in December 1999 (see: Ardent Software: Will Informix Merger Affect Their Success?) to strengthen their web analytics capabilities prior to developing i.Decide Web Success.
Informix has some key advantages that may help it succeed in the crowded CRM market. With well over $200M in quarterly revenues for the past five quarters and positive profits, Informix is financially strong compared to the likes of Informatica, Business Objects, WebTrends and NetPerceptions. Informix expects i.Decide Solutions to bring a healthy change to the top line, as revenues have slipped from $252M in 4Q99 to $240M in 2Q00.
User Recommendations
Clicks-and-mortar firms looking to integrate their data into one repository for customer analysis across multiple channels should consider i.Decide Web Success. Informix claims that i.Decide Web Success is designed for dot-coms as well as clicks-and-mortar, but IT decision makers should consider the nature of their data integration needs before purchasing this product. A pure play dot-com will derive little value from a data repository that is designed to pull data out of ERP and legacy systems if they don't have those systems in place. Furthermore if your analytics needs are stronger than your data integration needs (because the bulk of your data integration issues have already been dealt with) than i.Decide Web Success may not provide the functionality you require.
If your organization's needs match i.Decide Web Success' capabilities, Informix should be on your short list. The company boasts a lasting, successful presence in the ETL and DBMS markets that should provide advantages in the e-business analytics market. Keep in mind that this is a first version release that has not been time-tested commercially.

Market Overview
new millennium has completely redrawn the IT industry map especially in the
enterprise marketing management (EMM) sector. Since year 2000,
the number of independent marketing automation vendors has significantly shrunk
due to frequent acquisitions and takeovers. Names such as Xchange,
MarketFirst, Annuncio, and Prime Response
no longer exist. Larger application providers like Amdocs,
PeopleSoft, and Chordiant have assimilated
all. Amongst the few still operating is Aprimo. Their strategy
primarily targets large customers from the financial services, technology, media
and entertainment, pharmaceuticals and manufacturing industries, and it pays.
Aprimo just released its version 6.0 posed to help the vendor sustain the ongoing
IT turmoil.
a better understanding of customer preferences to better serve their needs and
increase their loyalty is certainly the motto for the new generation of marketing
automation systems. Many customer relationship management (CRM) software
vendors focused their first marketing modules in generating and conveying leads
to the sales force.
management and e-mail marketing functions were amongst the first modules for
CRM vendors to include in their product offerings. Siebel,
E.piphany, Pivotal, DoubleClick,
and Aprimo are some of the providers of such functionality. Marketers can design
multilayered marketing campaigns filtering by customer segments and using the
contact center capability to reach their target through multiple channels such
as phone, portals, email, direct mail, and PDA.
The second functional category widely provided is electronic marketing. Such a solution offers a web-accessible, enterprise resource that manages and delivers essential information to marketing's customers, both internal (sales, customer support, etc.) and external (prospects, media, partners, etc.). Integrated content management and customization have added value to the basic features of e-mail marketing by avoiding the pitfalls of mass marketing.
basic campaign management modules provide the following capabilities:
analytics is the third component adding a new dimension to the basic campaign
management modules. The analytics functionality enables marketers to conduct
customer behavioral analysis and understand key issues such as propensity to
buy. CRM vendors such as Pivotal, PeopleSoft, and Siebel are now offering marketing
analytics through acquisitions beside other pure marketing players such as Chordiant,
E.piphany, SAS, and Unica.
most recent tool in the world of marketing automation is the emergence of the
marketing resource management (MRM) pioneered by Aprimo.
Facing shrinking budgets, marketing departments are more and more accountable
for the cost of their activities. MRM helps marketing professionals to plan
ahead for the following:
MRM combines workflow capabilities for assigning tasks and triggering alerts and knowledge management to accede into marketing best practices. A tighter control over the projected budget, the planning, and the execution combined with a myriad of functions from campaign and lead management modules have pushed the limits of marketing automation and that is the reason vendors such as Aprimo and Unica are now referring to their products as enterprise marketing management (EMM) solutions.
Product Definition and Market Impact
competition from both major CRM/ERP (enterprise resource planning) vendors and
marketing analytics providers, pure-player marketing solutions like Aprimo,
and Unica continue to serve the enterprise market place with new and updated
EMM offerings. Recently Aprimo announced its new release Aprimo Marketing
6.0. The Indianapolis based firm, caters to big accounts like Merrill
Lynch, America Online, Pfizer, and
Autodesk. Its fully web-based solution encompasses functional
areas such as marketing planning, financial management, production management,
customer dialogue, and lead management applications. According to Mike MacNulty,
a product marketing manager at Aprimo, "the product emphasize on application
modularity contributes to deployment flexibility over time and quicker time-to-value".
Production Management and Planning and Financial Management
are two functional components geared towards the marketing resource management
(MRM). The more traditional features such as campaign and lead manager are covered
by the Demand Creation suite.
Production Management modules deliver the necessary features to initiate
and design through a scripted web template a marketing project from scratch.
Features include internal or external resource assignments and management of
cost by means of real time cost tracking. The pre-defined templates help marketers
to follow the steps specified by best practices. The teamwork is fully auditable
through online approvals for deliverables and creative. A rule based workflow
manager, enables users to control quality standards like Six Sigma or financial
regulatory rules like Sarbanes-Oxley.
Planning and Financial Management modules confer to marketers financial
visibility into their planned, committed and actual investments and provides
the solution its expected MRM qualification. Using the budgeting and forecasting
tool, defined users can be granted access to budget assignment, allocation,
and transfer of funds. Links to a number of back-office applications, such as
PO and AP systems, facilitate the exchange of financial data. Automated notifications
for over- or under-plan conditions can be used by managers to control their
marketing activities financials at different stages.
Dialogue Management and Lead Management are the two
major components of the Demand Creation suite. Users can leverage
various demand creation modules to divide their customer list by segment and
start targeting them using a multistep and multichannel marketing campaign.
As a result they can automatically assign generated leads to specific sales
groups or persons to conclude the sale.
Aprimo Marketing 6.0 .NET architecture takes full advantage of web services facilitating the interoperability of the application in a disparate system environment.
Aprimo Strategy and User Recommendations
A major strength of the Aprimo marketing application is in allowing marketers to handle their marketing activities as a series of interconnected projects. Each project could respect the overall enterprise picture including cost expectancy, resources allocation and return on investment control. Despite its enterprise oriented high priced solution, the Indianapolis based company provides a user-friendly application easily customizable at the user level and process oriented through the use of templates. The application enhanced functionality covers almost anything needed in a marketing department to achieve better results. Additionally, companies can combine their EMM with a Sales Force Application (SFA) application in order to take full advantage of Aprimo's Lead Manager. Aprimo offers a productized XML (SOAP) Gateway to establish and maintain this connectivity with major enterprise players including Siebel.

Neighborhood Emergency Response Team
The Loma Prieta earthquake and aftermath of October 17, 1989 demonstrated the importance of civilian volunteers during a disaster. In a large scale disaster, the use of volunteers may be even more widespread and more necessary. With this in mind, the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) has undertaken a program of civilian emergency response training. The intention of this training is to give volunteers a higher level of basic skills in fire fighting, search and rescue, disaster medicine and preparedness.
This training will be utilized in three specific ways. Neighborhood Emergency Response team members will be:
1) Better prepared in self sufficiency following a disaster
2) Able to provide emergency assistance to their family, immediate neighbors and co-workers
3) Able to work as a team in their neighborhood in the event of a major disaster. The Fire Department's goal is to provide this training to the civilian population as identified and coordinated by neighborhood, work place, church or other groupings.

Philipose, K K (1996) Artificial reefs habitat enhancement and increasing fisheries potential. CMFRI Bulletin-Artificial reefs and Seafarming technologies, 48 . pp. 4-7.
Artificial reefs are used throughout the world to increase the fisheries poter\tial of barren or relatively unproductive areas. Artificial reefs also act as effective fish attracting devices during certain times of the year. Reefs when properly located and structured not only concentrate fishes, but also increase the biological productivity of the area. Formation of rough rigid bottom habitat with artificial reefs of diverse materials increases the surface area necessary for fish food organisms. The reefs also often serve as spawning habitat and shelter for fishes and shellfishes.
