Al Sharpton Rally For 47th Anniversary of I Have A Dream Speech
Al Sharpton Rally For 47th Anniversary of I Have A Dream Speech – Al Sharpton is not pleased with the way that Glenn Beck has presented his upcoming rally. The rally will be held at the Lincoln memorial, on the anniversary of Martin Luther King's famous "I Have A Dream" speech, which was also given at the same location. Beck has said that he did not purposely choose the date, but now seems to be capitalizing on the opportunity to present the rally as being related to the civil rights movement.
Thousands of tea party supports were expected to attend the rally on Saturday.
The event is named "Restoring Honor," and was created to show support for the troops that are overseas and at home. The location and timing of the rally have been brought into question by some civil rights veterans, including Al Sharpton, who may be the world's most known living civil rights activist.
"They don't have the right to distort what Dr. King's dream was about," Sharpton said in a statement. He also said that they do have the right to rally, but feels that they should move away from the loose connections between the rally and Dr. King's speech.
It will be interesting to see how the political left reacts to the rally. Beck has been a controversial figure throughout his career, and he had to have known that choosing the day he did would create further headaches for him. Of course, choosing the 47th anniversary of the "I Have a Dream" speech is likely going to be great promotion for his rally, which will benefit Beck in the long run.

Sharpton is an idiot. Why is he still relevant or even alive?
Sharpton is one of the greatest racisits of our time. His entire life has been one of promoting hatred of whites. He makes his fortune by it.
Glen McCoy's cartoon describes it perfectly:
Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are standing under the Wishing Star and Sharpton says, "Oh Wishing Star, we wish for an end to racial strife and bigotry."….and "POOF", they both disappear in a cloud of smoke!
Rev. Al Sharpton's greatest fear is that the end of racism will render him irrevelant. So, he perpetuates racism any time and any place he has a forum. He truly has a different "dream" than Dr. King had. He needs a large dose of humility (which will never happen) and admit his sin.
Why is there no talk of the outstanding speech that Dr. Alveda King gave today?
I thought Rev. Sharpton didn't do the day justice.
What an EPIC FAIL SO CALLED RALLY OMG, I"M LOVING THIS, WHAT AN IDIOT..
POOR CNN WAS DOWN PLAYING THE GLEN BECK RALLY TODAY. AL SHARPTONS RALLY 1000 ATTENDED & GLAN BECK RALLY A MILLION PLUS. NOT TO MENTION Dr. Alveda King Spoke At Glenn Beck Rally instead of RACIST AL's rally, go lick your wounds somewhere..hahahahahahahaahah
Mr Beck I believe feels we still owe African Americans. That racism is still rampant in America on both sides. That through light we can expose the darkness.
Sharpton on the other hand is not world's most known living civil rights activist. He is the biggest hate spewer and does not represent the christian values of a reverend.
I also don't believe he represents the majority of christian African Americans.
If Al Sharpton had done what was honest and shown his faith in God and Dr. Martin Luther King's true dream for us all he would have joined in the Glenn Beck rally. We all need to get along, ask God to guide us to forgive the past and move forward. He, nor Jesse Jackson want that. They want to keep us divided. I pray to my Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ that peace will come to our nation and we will put God back in our schools. That is our only hope and why these racists can't see it, I will never understand. They are living in the past in darkness. May God bring them out of it. There is no one that can change them, but God. This goes for all racists regardless of color.
Al Sharpton may be down behind the Glen Beck comedy stunt but he ain't out. Just keep an eye on Becks sponsors as they run for the hills!
That was very disrespectful to Martin Luther King to thank the vets when King made it clear he was against war.
Becks days in the media are over and I as one of the few black men who really like Beck and some of his extremist talk I will in fact miss him.
I won't miss Palen at all she's worst than that fake radio doctor.
I really am sad that Beck did that he could did his rally differently.
I agree they are both racists. And they are liars. Martin Luther King doesn't belong exclusively to blacks. Refer back to his "I Have a Dream" speech. He longed for the day people would be judged not by color, but by content of character. He reached out to all colors.
Racism is a two-way street.
Did Al not realise that one of the speakers at Beck's rally was Dr. King's niece, Dr. Alveda King? I guess her words honoring her uncle and his legacy were too political for Al.
Al Sharpton should be ashamed of himself. The only racist is the ones that are excited by people like sharpton and Jesse Jackson.
The blacks and white are more in tune than Sharpton or Jackson would like for them to be.
Hey you two hooters!!!!
Why are you not speaking on the Radical Muslims that wants this country to be Muslim? There is a great platform for anyone with the decency and honor.
I thought you two were (Rev's)…….Do you not believe our Bible? If not – Take the (Rev's) out in front of your names!!!! Do you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God – You can not be effective Rev's and play with the political's – You know who they are and what they are after.
Or have you converted to Muslim?
If so – Kindly step aside while people with honor and integrity can step up to the platform……..Yes – Like Dr. Martin's Niiece and all the King family.
Wish instead of trying to cause divisions Mr. Sharpton would have realized the two groups could have been one and built on the dream that Dr. King had. Had sad! I am white, but I love black people and think as a race they are an amazing people. Mr. Sharpton, why make a divide, why not build on the dream. Sad day for you indeed.
News media said, "Glenn Beck's rally was mostly all white, but did not say that Al Sharpton's rally was mostly black." News media are racist for sure. I love the peoples of this country and do not want it divided. Come on America, come together for he good of our country.
Dr Alveda King should have been giving her speech at Rev.Al Sarpton's Rally. Shame on her!!!!
The last desperate gasp of irrelevancy.
The Al Sharpton Rally was a great success!!! Over a million perhaps marched to the MLK Memorial. As far as the eye could see, there were people of all colors marching together for the common cause of equality for ALL people. Don't be fooled!! No matter what themselves media tells you or shows you, there was an EXTRAORDINARY turnout, and I am so proud!!!!
Correction: A over a million people,
Yes, Tom. Sponsors tend so often to "run for the hills" from people who can draw crowds of 300k on a hot summer day. Beck's enemies have been pressuring his sponsors to drop him for over a year, and the effort's been a monumental flop. And as I understand it, King was against the Vietnam war, specifically. Is there anything to suggest he would have opposed America's efforts defeating Hitler, to whom he was nothing but a "schwarzie?"
Mocha, calling Beck a racist has become almost a throwaway accusation. The guy has done entire episodes of his show with all-black discussion panels and all-black audiences. I know it's a novel concept but what, uhh, evidence do have to substantiate that charge?
I don't get it. If Al wanted to live Dr. Kings dream then why not get everyone to attend the same rally. Thats what the dream was for everyone Black and White to come together as one. I think him attending Becks would have made a better impact on what Dr. Kings dream than having a separate rally. Dr. King did not want separation he want to us to unite and to LOVE one another.
Al you need to grow up and try to find God and stop following Satan he is your God Devision is of the devil and that seems to be what you are about I pray for you sir that you will wake up and find the real God That loves you and do the right thing and get over your racism and learn to get along and love others this racism
is getting old you are the one keeping your people in bondage because the people of God love all people of any color and judge a man by his fruits and not his color you should study your bible and PRAY THAT GOD will teach you the truth
I will be Praying for you sir and all those who follow you.
I watched both CSpan coverage of the events …..
Beck focused on a positive message, while Sharpton threw together a rally filled with name calling and vitriol aimed at Beck.
I remember MLK's speech "I have a Dream" ….. it was about unity, not skin color.
Beck was inline with MLK's ideals.
Sharpton's speech was about Hate… & hot to perpetuate Racism
If MLK was still alive he would have b$$$h-slapped Sharpton.
Back in the 70's I attended a Jr. College in Okla. We had several africans also attending school. One of them made a statement that I will never forget, he said and I quote- " The different between the American blacks and the african blacks is the american blacks don 't have a heart! unquote
Al Sharpton is a disgrace to his race. Bigot and hate monger. Keep it going at all costs so he can get some press from the liberals. The Restore Honor rally was just that a true rally to restore Honor among us all. Great job and very touching. Your efforts Mr. Sharpton are as usual, short and non accomplished, bring more trouble and hatred as soon as another venue presents itself! Why anyone listens to you is a mystery.
Hey – this is Al Sharpton, you all. We be gettin' down real good at this rally, where we had a good 100,000…er, 10,000…er, I meant 1,000 people turn out at Dunbar High School. Of course we had to share the venue with a cheerleading practice and a high school basketball pickup game, but it was good. We had a bunch of fine folks…I would name some of them, but I can't. We had labor leaders, and NAACP leaders, and…well, labor leaders, and I believe some NAACP leaders were there. One guy even had on a t-shirt that read, "Glen Beck He No Speaka for Me," obviously a slur at Italians, although the dude was black. And we had speeches from some community leaders, like the head of the welfare office and the head of the former ACORN office, who is now unemployed.
So we had a real good time, speaking and marching and rallying. It was some rally. Then we marched over to where they are building a memorial for Martin Luther King, and there a good 200 people assembled. We showed that dumb Glenn Beck! Hah! We said we would have more people at our rally, and we did. Wait…what? Beck had how many? Half a million?!? What you talkin' 'bout, Willis? Somebody is lying their butt off. No way Beck could beat us! We had labor leaders and NAACP leaders and tons of ordinary folks, some of them with signs! That's not fair! It is just not fair!
"Rev" Sharpton is right – Mr. King was a socialist and wanted Social Justice for black folk. I don't care how Beck wants to twist King's words to make him look like something he is not. Read King's words for yourself – He was as pink as they come. Its disappointing that Beck caught himself in a pickle and chose to go all-out on King being a good man. King and Sharpton stood for the same thing: Black power and Equal property for blacks and whites.
hahahahahahahahaha….. A MILLION at Becks rally, 300 at Sharptons rally…….ahhahahahahahahah nuff said.
sharpton who?
When is it ever disrespectful to anyone to thank the vets? War is not a good thing, but it certainly is necessary at times and the people protecting us from those that would do us harm NEED to be thanked at every opportunity they can. Al Sharpton was preemptive in attacking Glenn Beck's rally. No hate, no bigotry was spilled there. But Sharpton attacked whenever and wherever he could. A true man of God would praise Glenn for making the event about the Almighty and those who protect us. Unfortunately, the Reverend is a reverend for the church known as himself. Oh how I pray he sees the light, and how I pray the Lord cuts through the lies spilled by the tongue of man with the Sword of the Spirit of Truth.
i don't think al sharpton is all those negative things you people say he is when anybody black speaks the truth about ignort white people their racist but when a white person calls some body black a n$$$$r there are millions of excuses you people like a yes n$$$a some one who'll just sit back and take what ever you dish out, well it is 2010 and slavery is long over and we aint sced now so say what you want you have been doing it all your life, doing people any kind of way and expecting for them to take. there are a lot of smart educated black men and women now and white people is just hating it and you are not used to a aggressive black man or woman well get use to because there are many more coming al sharpton speaks for a lot of black people just like george "DEVIL" bush speaks for the whites
I agree with much of the sentiment here. Rev. Al Sharpton had an opportunity to truly make a difference, to bring people together, and he blew it! On April 7th, he was on Glenn Beck. Beck asked him if he believed that "Hope, Faith, and Charity" could bring this country together! Not only did Rev. Sharpton agree, he said "that it (Hope, Faith, and Charity) SHOULD bring this country together". Yet even after several open invitation for ALL to attend, Rev Sharpton had to make his own rally. That action is contradictory to what he said. And then Rev. Sharpton criticized Beck for not doing what he said he would? The rally was all about Hope, Faith and Charity… So, I don't understand where Rev. Sharpton gets off?
In regards to the argument about civil rights – Civil Rights are no longer about Black vs. White, or White vs. Black… It's about THE PEOPLE vs. BIG government. We are losing our freedoms, and Beck talks about how these freedoms began disappearing over 100 years ago, and many president have contribute, from both sides, including Bush Jr. Beck's sentiment towards Bush are the same as those towards Obama – they (were not) are not upholding theirs vow(s) to protect and preserve the Constitution. I think we all know what happens with organization that move away from the very principle they were founded on. We've been seeing it a lot lately in corporate greed! Just like America was NOT founded to create BIG government, corporations are NOT created to scam people. This is the time that we need to hold true to our principles! Just as this is the time that we need to make sure those who represent us, hold true to these principles as well. Reverend and Politician alike.
God Bless us ALL

Announced 3 weeks ago, Spike Lee is teaming up with Showtime to develop a half-hour TV series based on his cherished, though problematic feature film debut, She's Gotta Have It - the feature film that essentially introduced Spike Lee to planet earth (Joe's Bed-Stuy Barbershop: We Cut Heads aside, his NYU Master's thesis film, which won the Student Academy Award and got Spike an agent); a film that celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2011.
It's also a film that was initially given an X-rating by the MPAA. Why? The exact quote, according to Spike, was that the MPAA said it was "saturated with sex."
Thus Spike had to re-edit the film three times, and still then it was considered too risque; So he released it first in New York, unrated, but was contractually obligated to deliver an R-rated movie, if he wanted to get paid, and eventually did.
What was Spike's response to the whole thing?
"I don't think it's out-and-out racist, but the film portrays blacks outside stereotypical roles, and they don't know what to do with blacks in films. They never have any love interests. Nick Nolte is the one who has a relationship in 48 Hours. And when it comes to black sexuality, they especially don't know how to deal with it. They feel uncomfortable. There are films with more gratuitous sex and violence. 9 1/2 weeks got an "R." And look at Body Double."
Further details on the TV serial adaptation (like whether it'll tell the exact same story the film did, with the same characters, who Spike might be considering for his cast, etc) aren't yet available. It's likely a bit too early at this point, with no specific ETA announced yet. It may not even make it to series (Spike has been here before; most recently, HBO passed on his Mike Tyson-inspired Da Brick, last year).
But I assume the Showtime adaptation will likely be set in the present day; and given that it's on cable TV (premium), I expect Spike will deliver something for adults, "saturated with sex," etc. And despite concerns among some that the series will come with similar problems the feature film did (notably, Spike's handling of rape - something which he eventually came to admit he regretted), I'd expect that a She's Gotta Have It TV series, written and directed by a much older, wiser, and mature Spike Lee will hopefully reflect his "coming-of-age," if you will.
But male filmmakers tackling female sexuality in their art should expect close public scrutiny.
Despite the fact that it is indeed early to discuss what the TV series adaptation will look and feel like, I'd still like to look ahead a bit, and consider what actresses Spike might cast as Nola Darling - a character that I think we can assume will be central to the serial, even if her 3 lovers, featured in the film, are absent.
And with that, a survey: Who would you cast as Nola Darling?
She's the young, self-assured Brooklynite, juggling three very different boyfriends, who, maybe, if collected into one body, will represent her ideal mate. But Nola doesn't want to commit to any of her men, cherishing her personal freedom, even as their relationships with Nola grow, and each man wants her for himself. What actress (likely between the ages of 25 and 35) exudes what we can assume will be Nola's complexities - an intelligent, assertive, compassionate, sexual confident, and in control young woman artist, challenging existing stereotypes of women and sex, still, in the 21st century, 28 years after the film's initial release?
Spike Lee did say, 20+ years ago, that he wrote the film with Tracy Camila Johns in mind as Nola. So one can only assume that, in adapting the film into a Showtime series, he could also very likely already have an actress in mind for the part. In fact, I wouldn't at all be surprised, if he's already approached her (whoever she is) about it.
Is this a role that has the black actress of the moment, "it girl" Lupita Nyong'o's name all over it? After all, her lucrative Lancome deal aside, she has yet to book a role that I'd call substantial - voice work in a Disney animated film (The Jungle Book), and playing a social worker to Jake Gyllenhaal's child in Antoine Fuqua's boxing drama Southpaw. I think she naturally exudes the attributes necessary to play Nola Darling - as I'm assuming the character will be painted in the TV serial.
Or will Spike go with a relative unknown, as he did with his mystery Kickstarter-funded Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus, casting British actress Zaraah Abrahams - reminiscent of the Spike Lee of old, who provided launching pads for many *unknown* actors and actresses with his earlier films. Maybe he loved working with Zaraah Abrahams so much in Da Sweet Blood Of Jesus that he'll cast her as Nola Darling; Spike has demonstrated in the past that he loves working with the same group of people, once he's developed a good working relationship with them.
But he certainly has a decent number of *known* actresses in that 25-35 age range to choose from, if he opts to draw from the existing pool. And depending on several key factors (notably, how great the series is, if it does happen), this could present a significant career boost for whomever is cast in the role - working with a widely-recognized filmmaker in Spike Lee, on a project that's based on a cult film that's itself a brand, we could say, that will air on a premium cable TV network like Showtime.
Who would you cast as Nola Darling?

According to a report in the New York Times, Rocky is on its way to becoming a freaking musical -- with a hoped-for 2013 Broadway opening.
EW has confirmed that Thomas Meehan (Annie, The Producers, Hairspray) is writing the book for Rocky, with the Tony-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty writing the music. The plan is currently for a 2012 debut in Germany -- the lead producer is Amsterdam-based European company Stage Entertainment -- with hopes to bring Rocky: The Musical to Broadway in 2013.

BAH !!!!! What a joke. Yes Beiber could do it if he now has the best car 5 YEARS IN A ROW !!! Not gonna happen. Just look at the races this year where Seb did not have the best car..... beaten easily ! That Schumi 5 year stint was a 1 off and Schumi regardless of his dodgy stuff was the last "superstar" to hit F1 after Senna. Seb has not hit that status in my opinion because watching Senna and Schumi do "unbelievable" things, young Seb still has a long way to go. There are drivers on the grid easily naturally faster than Seb like idiot Lulu, so the only diff is the car.
Seb is no Schumi, Senna, Clark or Fangio.

PILOT ROCK, Ore. (AP) — Tara Fox didn't give the idea of organ donation much thought until about six years ago. These days, however, the 21-year-old Athena woman speaks frankly to teens about the idea of organ donation and doesn't hide her emotions as she tells her personal story.
At age 15, Fox rode horses on her family's wheat farm, played school sports and competed in snowboarding at the national level. She rarely saw a doctor and avoided even aspirin. Then one day, she fell ill.
"I felt like I had the flu," she recalls.
She powered through softball practice that day, then fell into bed. The next morning, she stayed there. Along with flu-like symptoms, her forearms, hands and feet began to swell. When she tried to walk, "it felt like I was walking on marbles."
After testing, doctors diagnosed her with an autoimmune disease that was attacking her kidneys. The following months brought rounds of immuno-suppressant drugs and steroids. She went into remission for a while, but then her kidney function crashed again, now working at 25 percent and declining. At 20 percent, she will likely go on the organ transplant list.
This week, Fox and Aimee Adelmann of Donate Life Northwest broached the idea of organ donation to Pilot Rock High School students. Adelmann, 29, is a veteran of two kidney transplants. Her body rejected the first, donated by her father. The Donate Life Northwest representative came armed with factoids.
"Every 10 minutes, someone is added to the wait list," said the Portlander. "Eighteen people die every day waiting."
In the case of organs, demand far exceeds supply. Fox pressed a couple of keys on her laptop and a bar graph glowed from the screen: a tall bar represented 130,000 people needing transplants and a stubby bar showed about 14,000 donors (6,000 living and 8,000 who were deceased). Fox flipped to another slide. This one illustrated how many Oregonians are waiting for organs. Currently, 226 women and 483 men need kidneys. Ninety-nine men and 34 women await livers. Twenty-seven men and four women need hearts.
Oddly, while men outnumber women, "we know males are a lot less likely to become donors," said Adelmann.
One donor can save up to eight lives. Harvesting of bone, tendons, ligaments, veins, corneas, skin and other body parts can enhance the lives of up to 50 people.
This was a somber, yet intriguing topic for a roomful of teenagers, who traditionally don't dwell on their own mortality. They had plenty to think about. People can register to become donors as young as 13 without parental permission.
Neither Fox nor Adelmann presses the point. Fox, especially, feels uneasy about accepting such a huge gift of life from another. She continues to resist, though she knows an organ transplant is really her only course of action.
"I don't want to hinder someone's life," she said. "It's something I've had to think through."
Fox knows she is headed down a rough stretch of road as her kidney function declines, but she seems determined not to let her condition define her. She runs and cycles, rides horses and continues to snowboard, a sport that took her to nationals three times as a teen.
"I don't want to be the sick kid," she said. "I try to live my life the best I can."

Tom Rioux - Doctorate: Transportation Engineering, 1977
I believe that I was the first PhD candidate to use the computer as a word processor to produce my dissertation in 1977. I used the computer software Runoff on the university's DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) System 10. It was the first computer on campus accessible to students to support uppercase and lowercase characters. We purchased completely white 11"x17" continuous feed computer paper with sprocket holes along the sides to put in the printer and then copied it onto the 100% rag 8.5"x11" paper required at the time. Runoff took as input a text file interspersed with commands starting with a period in the first column and produced an output file for printing. Runoff featured automatic Table of Contents, chapter numbering, section heading and numbering, footnotes, and indexing. My dissertation had 100 pages of pure text, 200 pages of tables and figures, and 400 pages of computer software printouts.
I believe that I was the first Ph.D. candidate allowed to use my Computer Science courses to satisfy the Foreign Language Requirement for a Ph.D. in Civil Engineering. I knew 7 computer languages at the time. My supervising professor Dr. Clyde E. Lee stated that since the major research in my field of computer traffic simulation within Transportation Engineering was being done in the United States, England, and Australia, it would not be of much benefit for me to learn French or Spanish.

Confession: the last time I skipped, I think I was 8 years old. But maybe I need to reconsider my mode of transportation. At least that's what Charlotte's Bill Martinelli, aka "The Skipper," wants all of us to do. In fact, it's what he does for a living.
The Skipper rediscovered the joys of youth while running on the beach with his girlfriend. He hated it, and since no one was around, he suggested they skip instead. And now it's the only way he goes. I'm not sure if this is for me, but I've got to give kudos on trying to turn your passion into your livelihood. Martinelli's business was ultimately banned for violating a sign ordinance, but he continues to skip away. What do you think? Could skipping be the new jogging? If you think so, SHARE the SKipper's message with your friends! And if you're an animal lover, then please look below the video for something special.

Citizens says hackers have hit its online banking site
Jan 25, 2013 (Boston Herald - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Citizens Bank is now blaming hackers for the disruption to its online and mobile banking services.
Customers logging onto the bank's website this morning were greeted with an advisory that online services were "not available at this time." Problems with the website began yesterday.
"Our online and mobile banking services are experiencing intermittent interruptions following yesterday's Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) disruption," Jim Hughes, spokesman for the Providence-based bank, said in a statement. "A DDoS disruption hinders customers from accessing websites by slowing sites down or disabling them. Customer accounts and personal information are not compromised." A DDoS is a type of computer attack that uses a number of hosts to flood and overwhelm the server.
Earlier today, Citizens had attributed the service disruption to "unusually high volume of Internet traffic, similar to disruptions that have impacted other U.S. banks," but gave no explanation of why the volume had increased.
For immediate service, the bank advises customers to visit one of its branches or ATMs, or called its 24/7 customer contact center at 800-922-9999.
Hughes did not respond to Herald questions regarding how long the site has been experiencing the problems and how long it would take to resolve the issue.

Today marks the 21 anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope being deployed in space
April 25, 2011 marks the 21st anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) being deployed in space.
The idea for a large space telescope dates back to 1923. The National Academy of Sciences recommended building one in 1962 and construction started in 1977 after Congress approved funding. Construction was finished in 1985.
The HST was designed and built for NASA at Lockheed Martin Space Systems. PerkinElmer designed and built the Optical Telescope Assembly and Fine Guidance Sensors and British Aerospace and AEG made the two solar array wings.
The HST launch was delayed by the 1986 Challenger accident. The HST was finally launched into space by Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-31, April 24, 1990. The telescope was successfully deployed the next day, and has remained in orbit ever since.
Mirror Issue
One problem apparent within weeks of the HST deployment was that the photo image quality was much lower than expected. The issue was caused by PerkinElmer grinding the primary mirror to the wrong shape, being too flat at the edges by about 2,200 nanometers. An investigation by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory found that the contractor had ignored test results showing the problem, did not assign its best optical scientists to the project and did not involve the optical designers in the construction and verification of the mirror. Eastman Kodak, which lost the contract competition to PerkinElmer, had produced a backup mirror, but it was never fully polished and resides today at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C.
The Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), built by Ball Aerospace, was installed on the HST during a servicing mission in 1993, correcting the problem. The contractor also teamed with the Center for Astrophysics and Space Astronomy to build the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, which replaced COSTAR in 2009.
Current Contracts
Since 1990, Lockheed has managed the day-to-day spacecraft operations of the HST and provided preparation and training for telescope servicing missions along with partners IS&S, Jackson and Tull, Orbital Sciences Corporation and Honeywell Technology Solutions.
The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy holds the contract for science operations through April 13, 2013, meaning the HST will likely be in operation at least that long.
Anniversary Photo and Hubble Accomplishments
To commemorate the 21st anniversary of the HST, NASA released a photograph of Arp 273, two interacting galaxies that create a rose-like shape. The photo was taken December 17, 2010 by Wide Field Camera 3, which was constructed at Ball and the Goddard Space Flight Center. Various other contractors contributed parts to the camera.
NASA Photo of Arp 273 Interacting Galaxies, December 17, 2010.
The HST's main accomplishments include helping NASA provide insight into:
- The age of the universe: 13.7 billion years
- The existence of supermassive black holes at the cores of nearly all galaxies
- The process of how planets are born
- The existence of organic molecules on planets outside our solar system
- The theory of dark energy and the idea that the expansion of the universe only recently began speeding up
NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said, "For 21 years, Hubble has profoundly changed our view of the universe, allowing us to see deep into the past while opening our eyes to the majesty and wonders around us." Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) added, "Hubble is America's gift to the world."

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Basics of Biblical Greek Grammar is a general introduction to New Testament Greek, mixing the best of both traditional and modern language learning methods. Students are taught all of the common vocabulary and grammatical forms occurring in the New Testament in a manner requiring far less rote memorization than most other approaches. Memorization of vocabulary is highly focused and centered only on the words truly necessary to begin reading from the Greek New Testament. Rather than having students memorize chart after chart of forms, Dr. Mounce teaches a limited number of rules and endings from which all of the others can be derived in a logical manner. Since it was first published in 1993, this text has enabled over 200,000 students to learn Biblical Greek.
The Third Edition adds a great deal of new supplemental material. Students are given the opportunity in the new "professor" sections to learn optional high-interest vocabulary such as greetings, colors, and the days of the week. These same sections also lighten the mood of the text at times by offering fun classroom activities such as well-known songs translated into Biblical Greek.
This electronic edition makes Dr. Mounce's popular text available in a convenient digital format. It adds nearly 2,000 hyperlinks between the main text and the appendix, making it even easier to look up additional information on forms or vocabulary. Users of The Bible Study App can even use the "look up" feature to find vocabulary words in the lexicon at the end of the text. Verse references have been tagged whenever possible throughout the exegesis sections, allowing students to look up the full text of the verses used in the the examples and exercises.
Dr. Bill Mounce explains the benefits of learning Greek.

So I finally found something that's been on my "shopping list" for quite a while. A small vintage suitcase in excellent condition!!
|Sorry. I had to include a really cute pic of our Golden Retriever snoozing.
She was lying near by when I was snapping pics of the suitcase and I just couldn't resist her!
Well, because I wanted to turn it into a "Welcome to Our Nest" basket for guests! And I found it just in time because we have family coming to stay with us this weekend, so I wanted it ready before her arrival tonight.
|My writing on the chalkboard wasn't perfect. I wanted to rewrite it, but I'm trying to let go
a little of my OCD need for perfection in 2013. I really had to fight it, but it is what it is.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
First and foremost thank you for choosing justanswer.com. I am a licensed criminal defense attorney and member of the American Bar Association and I believe I can help.
You can drop an EPO by filing a motion pro se (without an attorney) with the issuing authority. This is done in much the same way as you got the EPO. The issuing authority can walk you through the simple process of what they need as far as paperwork from you. All that need be said in the motion for dismissal is the fact that you no longer need the protection afforded the EPO and you would like to see the issuing authority dismiss it. The issuing authority will then dismiss the EPO upon your request.
As for the 4th degree assualt charge, no, you cannot drop the charge yourself, however, you can as the prosecution to drop the charge. Prosecutor's will listen to victims of an offense and this, in fact, happens a lot. They may try to persuade you to testify, but the fact of the matter is they have no case if you do not want to move forward with it. Tell the Prosecutor you do not wish to testify and that you do not wish to pursue the charges and they, in their discretion, will almost certainly follow suit. Plus, there will be no probation violation if the charges are dropped because the charges will be dropped. A charge will only affect the person on probation if there is a conviction.
I hope this helps! Please, click "Accept" if you found my answer helpful so I may be credited for my response. Do not hesitate to contact me via justanswer.com with any further questions or concerns. Thank you and good luck!!!
Yes, this is true. As I had said before . . . no witness/no case. Go to City Hall tomorrow and, in front of the judge, say you want the warrant dismissed as you are no longer looking for charges to be pressed. Further ask the judge to dismiss the standing EPO as you feel you no longer are in need of the protection it affords. That should be all you need to do/say. The judge will provide directions for you should the same judge not be able to dismiss the EPO.
Again good luck! Don't forget to click "Accept" so I receive credit from justanswer.com for my help! :)

A Gift to Support Humanities Students' Research
A $5,000 gift from Assistant Professor of German and Comparative Literature Alicia E. Ellis and artist and former visiting faculty member David H. Munson will be used to establish Hampshire College's new Humanities Research Book Grant.
"We had envisioned that this donation would fund a research grant to support humanities students who are just beginning their Division III work. It is meant to enhance the ability of students to conduct research at an advanced level and also support the library collection and fill any holes in its humanities collection," said Ellis.
The Humanities Research Book Grant will support humanities students' work on their Division III (senior) projects through individual grants to purchase books central to their studies. Grant applications will be considered by a committee of faculty members in the humanities and cultural studies. Grant recipients will be chosen based on the intellectual merit of the proposed work and their preparation for such work, the quality of their previous work during Division II, and the necessity of the texts or related media for the proposed topic.

Guidance for Others…Family and Friends of People who Self Harm
The following information was found at the website below.
Do you know someone who hurts themselves?
Are you at a loss as to how to try and do the right thing by them. Is it ok to talk about it, or should you stay quiet? Is it ok to ask to see cuts, burns or scars?
How you react to someone's self injury (SI) is important, and how they react to your concern may well distress you, but each individual deals with their self harm in their own way.
When you first find out that a loved one self injures you may well feel overwhelmed with conflicting emotions. Perhaps you are shocked that your loved one resorts to self harm, perhaps you are confused as to what it all means. You may experience guilt and anger, frustration and sadness. Depending on how you discovered your loved one relies on self harm as a coping mechanism, you may have little time to adapt to the news.
Self injury is a very personal act, and there are many methods by which a person hurts themselves. It can be best to ignore the method of self harm to begin with, and focus on the emotional experience that you're loved one is going through. Self injury is a word which covers a lot of behaviours, all of which share one key element that being they are done with the conscious intention of harming ones self, but not as a way to commit suicide, rather, as a way to cope and survive.
It can be frustrating supporting a loved one through self injury as they may not feel comfortable to talk about what drives them to harm themselves, yet they may also feel very lonely and isolated, feeling trapped in their emotions. It's important to look after your own emotional well being if you are supporting someone who uses self injury.
Ultimatums and No-Harm Contracts
It can be tempting to issue a demand or ultimatum, saying that they must stop hurting themselves this instance. It's tempting to believe that everything will be alright now that you know, and now that you're helping.
Such ultimatums can only serve to drive your loved one further away from you, as you demonstrate that you don't understand and that you're not listening. A person who self injures may well feel isolated and alone; ultimatums only increase the feelings of isolation.
At times, even professional caregivers such as Counsellors will insist that a person agrees to a 'No-Harm Contract'. This can only be counter-productive. As self injury is a coping mechanism it is not reasonable to take it away before providing a suitable replacement mechanism, or strategy for coping.
Your Relationship With The Person
The LifeSIGNS fact sheets for Family/Friends give general information which will be useful for anyone who knows someone who self-injures. The following information elaborates slightly, depending on your relationship with the person.
Self Injury Factsheet for Family and Friends (2007, V2) [PDF; 65KB]
If You're a Parent
Finding out that your child has been self-injuring might come as a total shock, and can be devastating. A person who self-injures often thinks that by taking out their emotional pain on themselves that they won't be hurting other people. Of course their self-injury will hurt those who care about them, but you must remember that this was not their initial intention.
Depending on the age of your child it can be hard not to panic, but you must try not to. Be there if your child wants to talk, and do not belittle them when they do. Remember that self-injury is habit-forming, and once someone is in the cycle of self-injury the smallest things might trigger them. Telling your child that it is stupid to hurt themselves because they have had an argument with a friend or because they have failed a test is not going to achieve anything, and will only upset you both.
Although it is difficult you must try to give your child space and privacy. Encourage them to talk, and to accept professional help, but don't force them. Obviously you want your child to stop hurting themselves, but this can be a long process. No one (especially young people) likes being told what to do and what not to do, so telling someone to stop is not helpful. Remember to let your child know that while you do not condone their behaviour, you love them unconditionally and will always support them.
If You're a Friend
If you're a friend of someone who is under 18 and self-injures, encourage them to speak to an adult about it. If you are at school there might be a nurse or counsellor, or a trusted teacher who you they could talk to. Or you might offer to be with them if they feel able to talk to their parents or another relative.
Your friend might tell you that you must not tell anyone. However, if you're concerned that they are in danger or might be suicidal, then you have to tell someone.
Remind your friend that while telling people isn't easy, in the long-run it will enable them to get the help they need in order to start feeling better.
As a friend of someone who self-injures (of any age) be there to listen to them. Try to remain calm and patient even if you can't understand why they would want to hurt themselves. Let your friend know that they are not alone, and encourage them to join the LifeSIGNS message board for peer support.
Above all, although you care about your friend you must remember to take care of yourself first. Unless you do this you will not be a help to anyone!
If You're a Partner / Girlfriend / Boyfriend
Having a relationship with a person who self-injures can at times be frustrating and very upsetting. Your partner might have been self-injuring long before they met you and you might think that now they have you that they shouldn't feel the need to hurt themselves anymore. However, self-injury is a complex behaviour, and no matter how much you would like your partner to stop hurting themselves, it is not that simple.
Encourage your partner to seek professional help (if they have not done so already) – counselling as a couple might be appropriate for you. Be there for them through the highs and the lows, but make sure that you look after yourself as well.
If You're a Child
Self injury isn't confined to teenagers, people of all ages can be afflicted by the syndrome of self injury. If you discover that your parent hurts themselves, it might be something they've done for a great many years, so try not to be overly shocked. Your parent may well have a good understanding of their destructive behaviour. Parents often feel the need to protect their children from the difficulties of life, and your parent may not feel comfortable talking to you about their emotional distress and mental anguish.
You can support your parent as they seek help, you can encourage them to speak with Doctors and Counsellors and Psychologists. Just because your parent may wish to see a Psychologist doesn't mean that they are 'mad' or 'crazy'; everyone experiences mental distress at some time in their life, and it's best to seek support, in time, the distress can be minimised, and new ways of coping can be learned.

SUV, we suggest you take the 110 PS routeit is really amazing to drive.
A welcome news is that the Terrano gets driver airbag as standard across all variants. Then you have features such as ABS, EBD, fog lamps, dual front airbags in high-end models, double-din audio system, Bluetooth connectivity, etc. While Nissan has added parking sensors, there is no rear-park assist camera. To be launched in early October, we expect the Terrano will be priced some R50,000 above the Duster. And the kind of freshness that it brings with itself, we believe the premium is well worth it.

Chubby Go Bad
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
If you like your chicks to have a little bit of extra meat around their middles and legs, then these naughty babes are sure to turn you on. On Chubby Go Bad, plump models show off their masturbation skills. However, if you want to see these gals delve into the art of hardcore porn, then you won't be disappointed as they also deliver some sucking and fucking that'll have you drooling.
While none of these chicks fall into the super-skinny category, you'll notice fairly early on that some of the babes on ChubbyGoBad don't really have any flab bouncing around. If the possibility of some less-than-plump babes is disappointing, then you might want to move along.
For those of you who are still with me, you'll be happy to know that the design is easy on the eyes and I had no problems accessing the 20 videos. You'll find the clips for each scene posted separately, but clearly labeled as is the full-length version. You can expect HD playback to boot. You can also stream the vids in an embedded Windows Media player.
They've got big boobs, pronounced hips and large, round butts. One exception to the rule is Ilona who has a shaved head and pussy, with proportionately smaller breasts, but she is adorable like a little mischievous angel. The innocence is somehow lost when she is playing with her purple vibrator or riding her male partner's thick schlong.
In addition to the videos, you get 20 photo galleries featuring these same chubby babes getting naughty with themselves and with throbbing cocks. These are crisp, high-res images that you can view with the hands-free slideshow or download in Zip files for future fun.
You get 14 bonus sites, including Dirty Smokers, Pregnant Wishes, New Porn Talents and Moms Got Cream. Some of the MILFs have a few extra inches and there are some sizable bellies on the preggo chicks, but you're not really going to see any other plumpers.
The two real drawbacks to the site are the price and the lack of updates. It has been over four years since anything was added to the collection and I think that it's safe to assume that nothing is ever going to be coming your way again. More of a problem is that Chubby Go Bad is overpriced for the limited amount of content it offers.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.


text: Temperatures are dropping and the holidays are around the corner. We are now entering what is often referred to as "The Heart Attack Season." "In addition to the cold weather restricting our blood circulation, most of us do things during the holidays that are very hazardous to our health," said Dr. Debra Braverman, a specialist at The Albert Einstein Medical Center. Dr. Braverman said that heavy meals, excess alcohol, lack of exercise and stress all can contribute to problems with heart health. Dr. Braverman provides recommendations to protect heart health during this winter's heart attack season. Beware of fatty foods and large portions–Stay away from foods high in sugar, fat, cholesterol and salt, and make sure the holiday dinner table consists of lots of veggies, fruits, lean protein and whole grains. Exercise–Try 30 minutes of light exercise per day to help strengthen the heart by delivering more oxygen to the body. Exercise also lowers blood pressure and helps decrease cholesterol levels. Stop smoking–Replace smoking routine with a 30-minute exercise session. Exercise is also a great way to combat stress, which can often trigger nicotine cravings. Avoid those obvious holiday heart attack triggers–Excess physical exertion (i.e. shoveling snow), overeating, lack of sleep, emotional stress, cold temperatures, illegal drugs and alcohol.

Supporting Children Helping Parents:
Principles to Guide Support
Principles to Guide Support
Each child and family are unique, as are the cultures, neighborhoods, communities, states, and countries in which they live. Yet child development research and experience suggest several principles that can be usefully adapted and applied to the process of helping very young children and families cope with the potentially overwhelming impact of events—as long as we leave room for exceptions and recognize the likelihood of additional unexpected events and complicating factors.
Help young children feel the security of being safe, protected, and nurtured by the adults who care for them. In the long run, the reactions of young children to tragedy and violence, as transmitted through insulating relationships with their parents and other primary care-givers, will determine how the child feels and reacts to terrorism and the danger of bioterrorism. A co-determinant is what the child brings to the encounter, including the child's temperament, developmental tolerances, and cognitive capacities.
Combine adult availability, the simple reassurance provided by daily care, and an openness to "questions without question marks." Attempting to prescribe what a particular adult should try to explain to a particular child is inappropriate—there is no curriculum or formula to follow. However, we can talk with parents and caregivers about giving permission for the child to be curious and concerned about the consequences of threatening, tragic events. Of equal or greater importance is that the timing and "dosage" of adults' explanations and answers in response to the child's concerns and questions should comfortably fit the child's cognitive and emotional tolerances and capacities. Simple explanations may be the best responses to direct questions, fears, and the "questions without question marks" that children ask through sleep, eating, play, or other behavior. Being matter off act, limiting discussion to what has been raised by children's questions, comments, or in play, provides permission for the child to know what he or she is capable of knowing, and facilitates learning in a continuing and coherent manner about what unfolds from the consequences of the threatening, tragic events. Indirectly, this principle may also enable the caregiving adults to cope with the fear that "our world will never be the same" and that a heightened, tension-producing sense of risk and danger may become a permanent feature of our everyday experience.
3.When appropriate, enhance the "insulation" that parents provide. If a parent is panicky, disorganized or grieving and depressed because a family member, friend or colleague has been killed, the insulation of affectionate reassurance, protection, and guidance is at risk. Then other adults with a close relationship to the child can supplement that calming, stabilizing insulation that an other-wise well-functioning primary caregiver provides.

This domain was purchased by my brother and I started this crazy, genealogy journey! The website has changed servers many times and I've come a long, long way in the area of web design. (Follow the link for a look back at the cosmetic changes to the site.)
It might have only been the last 3 years that I've been "blogging" but this site has been around on this domain for 10 years now! I've been working on a new design behind the scenes and now that the Diary of Llewellyn has concluded, I'll devote a lot more of my time to that.
Hopefully I'll have some updates soon on everything I've been up to. All including researching, organizing, learning and quilting! Lots of stuff!

Zdenek Stybar's Roubaix X-Night
- By Brian Holcombe
- Published Nov. 21, 2010
Instead of numbering his bikes this season, Zdenek Stybar's mechanics have differentiated his rigs by race wins in the 2009-10 season. There is a Koksijde bike, the venue where the November 27 World Cup takes place, as well as Hasselt and Hamme-Zogge. His mechanics are holding back one bike – the Tabor model – for Stybar to use at the national and world championship later this season | Photo: Brian Holcombe

After leading Division I College Baseball with 31 home runs, powerhouse slugger Kris Bryant, the Toreros' 21-year-old third baseman, was the No. 2 overall draft pick by the Chicago Cubs. It was a grand-slam ending to an epic season that led to eight Toreros punching their tickets to professional baseball.

No Amnesty for Now: RAF Terrorist Klar to Remain in Jail
Crime, punishment and forgiveness are recurring themes in German 20th century history. With the first two behind him, Red Army Faction (RAF) terrorist Christian Klar learned this week that he'll have to wait a while longer for the third.
Klar's home.
Klar's fate has been the focus of considerable attention in Germany in recent weeks. A Stuttgart court recently granted his RAF comrade Birgit Mohnhaupt parole after 24 years in the clink. But whereas she was up for parole, Klar still has to serve two more years before he can be let out. For a earlier release, he would have to be granted amnesty by the German President's office.
Klar himself recently made it much more difficult for Köhler to do just that. He sent a letter from jail to a recent conference in Berlin, hosted by the Marxist newspaper Junge Welt. In the letter, read aloud at the conference, he claimed that Europe was being ruled by an "imperial pact" and that society must purge its "chauvinistic" forces if it is achieve the "final defeat of capital."
While he made no call to violence, his message was heavily criticized in the German media, prompting Klar to call the media as "block wardens" -- a reference to Nazi neighborhood spies during the Third Reich.
In a recent interview with the German daily Die Welt, Köhler said, "I believe in forgiveness, from a Christian perspective, for one. But forgiveness demands regret. Mr. Klar could demonstrate regret by helping with investigations, by providing details." Klar, though, has refused to co-operate with German authorities investigating un-solved RAF crimes, and has never made a public statement of regret.
A total of 34 people were killed by the RAF, mainly members of the West German financial and political establishment. Its activity culminated in the fall of 1977, with the kidnapping and murder of the President of the German Employers Association Hanns-Martin Schleyer, in which Klar was involved. As the 30th anniversary of the so-called "German autumn" approaches, discussions of forgiveness and repentance have been revived.
It's suspected that Köhler will make a final decision on Klar after this anniversary has passed and emotion is not running quite so high.

I am most interested in filtering messages to those starred by more than 2 (or 3) users. The rational is that if a message is really important or interesting, more than one user would star it. Whereas, a single star might indicate a personal opinion.
