It's now official: Trial in the groundbreaking education-equality case – Vergara vs. California – is set to begin Jan. 27, this after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Rolf Treu soundly rejected efforts by California's teachers unions – the California Teachers Association and the California Federation of Teachers – to dismiss the case in its entirety. The ruling is a victory for California's 6.3 million schoolchildren and education reformers everywhere.
Vergara, filed in the names of nine students, seeks to strike down and rule as unconstitutional several California statutes that long have been protected by the power of the teachers unions. Those statutes include teacher dismissal laws that make it almost impossible to fire teachers for misconduct, teacher tenure laws, job protections for teachers that are greater than for any other group of public employees, and last-hired, first-fired rules on layoffs.
Over the decades, few legislators have dared challenge any of these laws because of the overwhelming political power exhibited by the CTA, in particular. Its campaign war chest is the largest in Sacramento, funding significant campaign contributions – primarily to Democrats – to silence criticism of the statutes. It matters not that these statutes, while affecting the educational outcomes of all students, have a disproportionate impact on the children of poor and minority families – a significant sector of the Democratic Party.
Some legislators – including Assembly Education Chair Joan Buchanan, D-San Ramon – sensed that the public was beginning to turn against this blind loyalty to the teachers unions, and she collaborated with CTA and CFT last legislative session to push a toothless "reform" bill focused on rules for teacher dismissals. Her Assembly Bill 375 was nothing more than a "Rosemary's Baby" bill ghostwritten by the CTA and replete with protections for its members at the expense of children. It contained what amounted to a "get out of jail free" card, which limited the time frame to settle dismissal cases, created new layers of protections for teachers in an already stacked process, and limited the number of witnesses who could be deposed. Democratic leaders in both houses fast-tracked it to the governor's desk with the expectation that he would simply sign it.
Even before the governor had time to decide, attorneys for the unions filed court papers demanding that the Vergara lawsuit be dismissed, contending that the passage of AB375 corrected whatever deficiencies the plaintiffs alleged.
What they didn't bank on was the public outcry over the end-of-session shenanigans. Gov. Jerry Brown turned on them, vetoing the bill. The coup de gras came last week when Judge Treu – not fearing campaign retributions from the unions – issued his ruling: See you in court!
Theodore J. Boutrous, co-lead counsel for the Vergara plaintiffs, said after Judge Treu ruled, "We have collected a mountain of evidence. … During trial, we will demonstrate that the challenged statues significantly harm students by violating their constitutional right to equality of education. Through testimony from superintendents, principals, teachers, parents, students and human-resources officials across the state, as well as compelling data from leading education experts, we will prove that the statutes force school districts to keep failing teachers in the classroom year after year, with devastating consequences for students."
The stage is now set – and on a more politically neutral terrain – for the debate over education reform to proceed. Undeniably, the balance of power has shifted. Yet, all evidence has not been turned over, including emails, texts and other communications between Democratic leaders, CTA and CFT, as well as with key state officials, regarding the fate of AB375 and their concocted legislative strategy for killing the Vergara lawsuit. These are public documents, and key to the record. In compliance with sunshine-in-government laws, there is no legitimate defense for shielding of these communications. They must be turned over – now.

GAINESVILLE — Advantage Florida.
Facing a critical stretch in its season with home games against two of its biggest SEC East rivals — Vanderbilt and Kentucky — Florida finished 2-0.
The Gators led big early, then, as they have many times this season, faltered offensively down the stretch before holding on for a 70-68 victory over No. 10 Kentucky on Saturday night in front of an O'Connell Center record crowd of 12,633.
"Our guys were pretty resilient," UF coach Billy Donovan said. "They battled, they hung in there and they found a way to win at the end."
With Tennessee's loss to Alabama, the Gators (18-5, 7-2 SEC) remain in sole possession of first place. Kentucky (16-6, 4-4) is now 1-4 on the road in conference play.
With 12.7 seconds left, senior guard Chandler Parsons hit the back end of two free throws to give the Gators a two-point lead.
Then with time running out, Kentucky freshman phenom Brandon Knight put up a 3-pointer that hit the rim, and UF guard Kenny Boynton rebounded as the clock ran out. It was the first missed 3-pointer of the night for Knight, who was 4-of-5.
"Brandon drove the ball and he went to the wing, and Terrence Jones came to set a pick for him and so we switched it," Boynton said. "Knight took a 3, Alex Tyus contested it and made him miss. Alex came alive in the second half. On that last play, if he doesn't contest that shot, Knight was hot the whole night and it could have gone in."
Florida led by as much as 55-42 after Boynton hit three free throws with 11:50 remaining.
But Kentucky slowly and methodically chipped away at the lead. Knight scored eight during a 17-3 run that culminated with a 3-pointer by Jones to give the Wildcats a 59-58 lead with 5:40 remaining in the game.
It went down to the wire from there. The Gators actually helped themselves at the free-throw line, going 18-of-22 (81.8 percent) in the game and 13-of-14 in the second half. They were shooting 64.9 percent for the season going in.
"We did everything we were supposed to do," UK coach John Calipari said. "They deserved to win the way they played. We fought back and gave ourselves a chance."
The story line entering the game was Florida's veterans vs. the inexperience of Kentucky, whose starting lineup includes two freshmen. But early on, it was Florida's freshmen off the bench who dominated. Nine of Florida's first 20 points were scored by freshmen. And with 3:11 left in the first half, 17-year-old freshman guard Scottie Wilbekin led all scorers with nine points, two shy of his career high.
Knight, who entered with eight 20-point games this season, scored 24, tying the UK freshman record for 20-point games.

My process is a combination of intuitive drawing, conscious shaping and layering, and the search for my spontaneous 5-year old self. I have no idea what the painting will be when I start. Each begins by marking with crayons and paint, and then a conversation between my arm, my eyes, my feelings, and the surface of the painting takes over.
Marks are made and covered up, imagery is created, erased, and reimagined. I keep working until the surface feels interesting, and I use color, line, shape and plane changes to express my feelings about what I see, remember, or invent.

First cases of flesh-eating drug Krokodil surface in US
Posted on September 26, 2013 by D.A.R.E. in News
Krokodil, a flesh-eating drug which first surfaced in Russia more than a decade ago, has reportedly been found in the United States.
Similar to morphine or heroin, krokodil is made by mixing codeine with substances like gasoline, paint thinner, oil or alcohol. That mixture is then injected into a vein, potentially causing an addict's skin to turn greenish, scaly and eventually rot away.
Dr. Frank LoVecchio, co-medical director at Banner Good Samaritan Poison and Drug Information Center in Arizona, told CBS5 that the first two cases of people using the drug have been reported in the state. He declined to comment on the patients' conditions.
"As far as I know, these are the first cases in the United States that are reported," LoVecchio said, adding that the cases are believed to be linked. "So we're extremely frightened."
Users of krokodil — or desomorphine — had previously only been found in large numbers in Russia, where 65 million doses of the opiate were seized during the first three months of 2011, Russia's Federal Drug Control Service told Time.

Former Olympic cyclist Paul Slane got the bug for the sport when he was 10 years old and saw the Tour de France go by in France.
He did not know at the time there was an Irish guy involved, Sean Kelly as it happened.
The 43-year-old then got an old bike and did charity ride for cancer.
He recalls in 1984 getting an invite to join a club where there were about 40 kids from west Belfast under the guidance of Eddie Rafter, and he is still helping people out to this day.
Paul explained: "He (Eddie) got help from the cycling fraternity across the province and the political divide which was a great thing at that time.
"Boys from Dundonald, and Newtownards, all chipped in to the help these kids who hadn't got much.
"Something like an old set of wheels, old frame, bits and pieces of brakes and Eddie would put the bikes together in an old shed in Twinbrook.
"Eddie then said to me that I was showing a bit of potential and he put me in for the All Ireland and some of us were winning from an early age.
"So I really got the bug then and that was it, I just loved the bike," said Paul, who made Ireland's Barcelona Olympic team in 1992.
"Conor Henry and Mark Kane, Davy Kane's son, were with me in the team. Back then, Ulster had a real strong presence in Irish cycling.
"The three of us were great friends and competing against each other through the age groups and we helped each other and in the end we were selected for the Olympics.
"I also took part in some of the one-day classics in France among them the amateur Paris-Roubaix event.
"It is just an unbelievable race," said Paul who believes the Giro coming to Ireland will have a major influence in the sport.
"It is all about the spectacle.
"Kids who don't ride a bike will be swept off their feet!
We may not see the benefit immediately, but almost certainly we will a few years down the line.
"It will certainly help tourism here, but overall it will be a massive boost for the sport itself."
Paul added: "The economy in Northern Ireland will definitely benefit. Yes, they shelled out a lot of money, but the benefit will be accrued in the years to come.
"I have seen the buzz growing week-by-week, even those who know nothing about the sport, are talking about it.
"What I have seen of late is that there is a lot more kids getting involved in cycling.
"One example is a group of around maybe 50 kids in Lady Dixon Park and The Dub, where amazingly girls outnumber boys.
"It is a club called VC Glendale (www.vcglendale.com) and the group is called the Imps - they have got their own personal Giro jerseys.
"They are funded and they are taught the skills on a mountain bike before going out on the roads.
"That's how it all starts.
"I look back and think of the same thing when Eddie Rafter took us out back in the Eighties.
"His free time was taken up looking after at least 40 kids.
"He took us touring, took us to Scotland and then we got into racing. Then former Commonwealth Games and former All Ireland Champion Morris Foster would help and try to improve us as international riders.
"He was a tremendous cyclist, brilliant time trialist, a great man who did a tremendous lot for the sport here, and deservedly awarded the MBE for his efforts.
"When I rode competitively in France I was with the Bic team, then went to Spain to cycle with the Vigo team and lived just around the corner from the Celta Vigo soccer side. You learned a lot.
"Everything you needed to know about cycling, and particularly the work with the manufacturers.
"That, in turn, helped me in my future career as a shop owner in how to set up bikes, what was wrong with this that and the other," said Paul, who still believes that he people of Northern Ireland do not know what is going to hit them when the Giro arrives.
"I really don't think 'Joe Public' realises how big a spectacle it is going to be right on their doorstep.
"The cycling fraternity will, but for a lot of people they do not realise that they will be watching some of the best riders in the world," he said.

McCrea, Regan team up to lead UB past Binghamton
The forceful frontcourt play displayed by Javon McCrea and Will Regan against Binghamton was exactly what Bobby Hurley envisioned when he became the University at Buffalo's coach.
He saw McCrea dodging double and triple teams and controlling the paint, while Regan worked his game inside and out.
McCrea has lived up on his end, but Regan was having a rough go at it early although he took a huge step to fulfilling his role on Monday afternoon.
The Nichols School product scored a season high 18 points and added seven rebounds in proving to be a worthy sidekick to McCrea in the Bulls' 87-57 victory over the Bearcats in front of 3,136 at Alumni Arena.
Binghamton (2-9) didn't have the size or strength to match up with the Bulls inside, especially against McCrea who torched the Bearcats in the post.
McCrea finished with 25 points, 14 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and three assists in 29 minutes – all without a single turnover.
Coming into the season, McCrea and Regan were considered one of the top frontcourt tandems in the Mid-American Conference and they proved it against Binghamton.
"They seem like a perfect match for each other," Hurley said after his Bulls outscored the Bearcats in the lane, 38-22. "Javon can certainly step away from the basket and go off the bounce but Will can stretch the defense out because he makes shots and is a good decision-maker. Javon really handles his business inside so now you really have Javon stepping away some and Will mixing it up in there so it's exciting coaching these two guys."
Even Regan admits it was an interesting start to the season after averaging 11.1 points and 4.4 rebounds last year in his first season at UB after transferring from Virginia.
"The first two games I was in foul trouble and it's hard for me to get my mojo," said Regan, who has scored in double figures in five of the last seven games to increase his scoring average to 9.1 points. "I was doing things but I wasn't really finding my shot. ... For me I learned, too, that I can get a lot off the offensive glass."
Five games into the season Regan connected on a grand total of 11 field goals, but against the Bearcats he was 7 of 10 and collected six offensive boards.
"Will is a great player and I feel that all that comes because he works so hard," McCrea said. "He's always in the gym, always getting shots up and he's very determined."
The Bulls (5-4) opened the game up on the strength of a 10-2 run that closed the first half. Regan capped the spurt with a three-pointer and UB led, 40-27, at intermission.
"As a player, you know your time is going to come and you keep doing what you can control and everything will fall into place," he said.
Said Hurley: "He really had a nose for the ball and was dialed into being physical in the paint and we exploit them in those areas and then stepping away from the basket. It's great when Will has that mixture of hitting the perimeter shots and going inside and mixing it up."
Josh Freelove finished 6 of 10 overall, including 5 of 9 from three-point range, for 19 points, while Jarod Oldham had nine assists and no turnovers.
Monday's game had the potential to be problematic for Buffalo after an emotional overtime loss to Manhattan on Saturday. UB led, 77-74, when Manhattan's Shane Richards forced overtime by making three free throws after being fouled on a three-point attempt by Jarryn Skeete with five seconds left.
One of the issues against Manhattan was turnovers but UB committed just seven against Binghamton (2-9) while registering 21 assists and 28 field goals.
"We're getting mentally tough and the ability to bounce back is not an easy thing," Hurley said. "Games like that are demoralizing when you don't win and everyone felt the pain in that. They responded the right way by being tough and wanting to feel good about ourselves and our basketball team."

The absolute best part is LeBatard's attempt to let Hardaway back down. "Uh, Timmy, you know what you're saying is flatly homophobic? It's bigotry." And Hardaway's like, "No, no. You heard that right. I hate gay people." Awesome.
Of course, the liberal media is all over Hardaway for his "bigotry," but no one is praising his honesty. Or restraint, for that matter. Because let me hit you up with some ka-nowledge about "teh gay0rz" (as they're called on the Internet). Fact: Gay men are attracted to men. Fact: It's contagious. Fact: Gross, right? What's their problem, anyway? Titties are awesome.

Minimal belief change, Pareto-optimality and logical consequence
A rational agent changes her beliefs in response to new information; a widely held idea is that such belief changes should be minimal. This paper is an overview of the theory of minimal belief revision. I employ a decision-theoretic framework to compare various principles for minimal belief revision. The main topics covered include the AGM postulates for belief revision, belief contraction, Grove's representation theorem, axioms for conditionals, and the connections between minimal belief change and questions in formal logic. I characterize under what conditions belief revision functions are consistent with the Levi Identity, and under what conditions belief contraction functions are consistent with the Harper Identity.

If you want to wet your feet and soak up the SoCal beach scene in style, catch a wave to San Diego. Its superb coastline, near-perfect climate and Mediterranean facade make it the quintessential Southern California beach city, but there's no chance to develop ennui. The smorgasbord of museums, zoos, animal parks and beaches will have you wondering which way to run next.

Garden King, Exclusive 3-day FREE mid-size Hertz car rental, Kids 15 & younger stay FREE
This classic hotel, a National Historic Landmark, is set on quaint Coronado island and offers contemporary luxury in an enchanting Victorian atmosphere.
Getting active in San Diego is pretty much all about the water. There's good surfing and windsurfing and there's some great scuba-diving through the giant kelp forests and the deep blue of La Jolla Canyon.
San Diego ZooThis justifiably famous zoo is one of SoCal's biggest attractions, showing more than 3000 animals representing over 800 species in a beautifully landscaped setting, typically in enclosures that replicate their natural habitats. Its sister park is San Diego Zoo Safari Park in northern San Diego County.
The zoo is located in the northern part of Balboa Park. Arrive early, as many of the animals are most active in the morning – though many perk up again in the afternoon. The guided double-decker bus tour gives a good overview of the zoo with informative commentary: sitting downstairs puts you closer to the animals. Once you've made the loop, your ticket remains good for an express bus service in the park, a big help if you're unable to walk far. The Skyfari cable car goes right across the park and can save you some walking time, though there may be a line to get on it.
Museum of Contemporary ArtAdjacent to and across from a San Diego Trolley stop, this museum has brought innovative artwork to San Diegans since the 1960s in the La Jolla branch; check local listings for exhibits.
Old Point Loma LighthouseThe 1854 Old Point Loma Lighthouse, dramatically built at the top of the hill, was so prone to fog-in that a new, lower lighthouse took over duty 36 years later. On the ocean side of the point, you can drive or walk down to the tide pools to look for anemones, starfish, crabs, limpets and 'dead man's fingers'.
Torrey Pines State Natural ReserveBetween N Torrey Pines Rd and the ocean, and from the Torrey Pines Gliderport to Del Mar, this reserve preserves the last mainland stands of the Torrey pine (Pinus torreyana), a species adapted to sparse rainfall and sandy, stony soils. Steep sandstone gullies have eroded into wonderfully textured surfaces, and the views over the ocean and north are superb.
Rangers lead nature walks from here at 10am and 2pm on weekends and holidays. Several walking trails wind through the reserve and down to the beach.
Torrey Pines State Reserve and La Jolla Cove are also good spots for whale watching.
Tipsy CrowThere are three distinct levels at this historic Gaslamp building that's been turned into an atmospheric watering hole: the main floor with its long mahogany bar, the lounge-like 'Nest' (thought to be the site of a former brothel), and the brick-walled 'Underground' with a dance floor and live music acts.
There's more to the scene in San Diego than sunshine and surf. The Ocean Beach Kiwanis Kite Festival makes the most of the wind, with kite making, decorating and flying competitions in March. American Indian Cultural Days held in Balboa Park in May include Native American dancing, music and art exhibits while things can get a little more raunchy at the Pacific Beach Block Party held on Garnet Ave the same month.
The Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off is a popular two-day street bash in June. It's accompanied that month by the three-week Del Mar Fair, a huge county fair held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, with headline musical acts and carnival rides.
The Harbor Parade of Lights in December goes one better than a Christmas tree, with dozens of decorated illuminated boats floating in San Diego's harbor.
Hodad'sOB's legendary burger joint serves great shakes, massive baskets of onion rings and succulent hamburgers wrapped in paper. The walls are covered in license plates, grunge/surf-rock plays (loud!) and your bearded, tattooed server might sidle in to your booth to take your order. No shirt, no shoes, no problem.
Café 222Downtown's favorite breakfast place serves renowned pumpkin waffles, buttermilk, orange-pecan or granola pancakes, and eggs in scrambles or benedicts. They also sell lunchtime sandwiches and salads, but we always go for breakfast (available until closing).

With the start of a new school year, the Zanesville Police Department is advising drivers to watch for changed speed limits, students crossing crosswalks and school buses. And if you don't, expect to get a ticket. Captain Tony Coury says residents can expect to see an increase of police officers on the lookout for speeders around school zones.
"There will be a zero tolerance for speeding in any of the school zones," said Capt. Coury. "If the flashing lights are on, and all the schools have them, if you're caught speeding, then you will be cited."
Another thing drivers should be aware of, is the decreased speed limit on Blue Avenue. The city recently changed the residential area's speed limit from 35 MPH to 25 MPH.
"We want them to drive 20 MPH of course when the yellow flashing lights are on, any time you see the flashing lights for the arrival of students or the departure, the lights will be on. And any other given time they see them, we would ask that they slow down to 20 MPH. Other than that, the speed limit is 25."
People should expect to leave early or give themselves extra time when driving through school zones.

Patricia Green, Superintendent,North Allegheny (Pa.) School District
At the North Allegheny School District, Pennsylvania's seventh-highest-performing district out of 500, students have benefited from a partnership between an unlikely pair: the North Allegheny Teachers' Federation the district's teachers' union and Superintendent Patricia Green's administration.
Knowledge Workers
"Right now we're living in a different generation of labor relations in America," says Green, who has helped perpetuate the partnership that's been in place since before her appointment in 2002. In the era of NCLB, she says, schools have to embrace teachers and look at teachers' unions differently, with less focus on economic factors and even more focus on students' learning. So together the district and federation share provisions and provide a multitude of forums for teachers and administrators to collaborate on issues before they might become divisive. Calling them not teachers but "knowledge workers in a conceptual age," Green says North Allegheny's teachers "are our champions of quality schools."
The collaboration relies heavily on committees that bring teachers and staff together to work out issues that traditionally might cause problems. One committee the Professional Issues Committee meets six times a year to discuss things like special education schedules and caseloads, cafeteria duty, and other topics that might elude more traditional union and administration problem-solving solutions such as contract negotiations.
Student Achievement
Led by Green and Federation President Barbara Hutchinson, the collaboration has resulted in high student achievement and a cultivated sense of leadership and empowerment among teachers and staff . With this has come the ability to attract, sustain and expand a high-quality workforce by emphasizing the district's standard of excellence and high expectations.
The successful relationship between the teachers' federation and school department has resulted in North Allegheny's collaboration becoming a model for school systems across the country. They have been invited by conferences to present outlines of this unique partnership.
With teachers and administrators aligned toward academic success and less on issues that normally bog down a school district's labor relations, North Allegheny developed its own SAT prep course that has brought the district's number of students taking the exam to 95.51 percent. "In two years we raised SAT scores by 30 points," says Green. Among other numerical achievements: the district's SAT math scores surpassed the state's by 71 percent, the critical reading scores surpassed the state's by 66 percent, and writing scores soared 63 points higher.
The union-administration partnership has led the district to achievements such as being named an "outperforming school district" four consecutive years by Standard & Poor's. In addition, Newsweek named the senior high school one of the best in the country, and the Pittsburgh Business Times named three of the district's middle schools first, second, and ninth in the state for their academic achievement. "So many folks are extolling what they're seeing in our district," says Green. With teachers spending less time on labor relations and confrontation, they spend more time on their data-driven instructional decision-making, student achievement, and professionalism.

Need to Reduce Reliance on Petrochemicals Stimulates Southeast Asian Bioethanol Market, Finds Frost & SullivanPRNewswire -- SINGAPORE -- Sept. 7, 2009 -- The Southeast Asian bioethanol market is brimming with opportunities following the recent industry growth, rising number of entrants, and intense competition for best market positioning. The expansion of current producers, backed by the influx of new participants, has dramatically increased local production over the last three to seven years. The governments have also laid strong emphasis on bio-based fuels to lower dependency on petrochemicals, assuring the Southeast Asian market of steady demand in future.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.chemicals.frost.com/), Southeast Asian Bioethanol Market, finds that the market earned revenues of $529.7 million in 2008 and estimates this to reach $6.17 billion in 2015 due to its potential as a next-generation biofuel and the pushing up of production within the region.
The volatility of fossil fuel prices and their impact on the economy have pushed governments to promote the use of various renewable energy sources using locally available feedstock. They have implemented policies such as the National Energy Policy or National Biofuels Programs to encourage the use of alternative energy sources.
The usage of bioethanol in gasoline formulation is nearly untapped and holds great potential, especially considering the current high domestic demand of fossil gasoline across Southeast Asia. Governments are promoting energy diversification efforts, particularly because bioethanol programs will offer a chance for rural development in Southeast Asia's poorer regions. Bioethanol will fare better as a gasoline additive than an energy fuel.
"A standard electronic fuel injection gasoline engine will typically tolerate up to 10 percent ethanol and 90 percent gasoline," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Ratneswary Balasingam. "Should higher ethanol ratios be used, larger-volume fuel injectors or higher fuel rail pressure will be required to deliver energy content equal to that obtained from pure gasoline."
Despite its potential, there are few R&D activities in gasohol formulations for reducing the effects of engine suitability and component issues. The lack of awareness of the benefits of bioethanol restrains the market from growing rapidly.
Bioethanol producers are also under immense pressure to acquire appropriate feedstock, as it must be a competitive source of bioethanol and should not compete for cultivation space with food. Generally, Southeast Asian companies produce molasses from sugar cane, which is the primary feedstock used in most bioethanol production. Molasses are also exported and used by other food-based industries such as in amino acid, rum, spice flavoring, feed, and ketchup.
"However, cassava is being seriously considered by government officials and local producers due to its potential to offer employment in poorer areas and reduce competition between raw materials for bioethanol and food," notes Balasingam. "A liter of bioethanol can be produced directly from 6.5 kilograms of cassava compared to a liter of bioethanol produced directly from 15 kilograms of sugar cane and 4 kilograms of molasses, respectively."
As bioethanol holds great promise as a new energy fuel, it is gaining popularity among both foreign and local producers, fostering competition. To milk its potential, local governments and bioethanol producers can educate the consumers on the 'green' and product-enhancing qualities of bioethanol as fuels and select better feedstock to ensure continuous production.
"Governments can offer tax reductions or subsidies for the use of bioethanol at the implementation stage to end users," observes Balasingam. "Producers can resort to strong product branding, better quality standards, and provision of trial products to gain control of market share."
Most producers pass on the development costs to the end users, unless they are aided by government funds and regional development programs. They can implement extensive product logistics and promotions to gain an edge over competitors and acquire new customers.

Vanilla? Yes. Black tea? I guess?
This is a very soft creamy vanilla tea. I can't really taste the base, but when I'm in the mood for vanilla this is a nice one to go with. I'm happy I tried it, but I wouldn't push everyone to go try it.
I'll try cold-steeping it like Incendiare recommended!

Iran to Investigate Case of Jailed U.S. Journalist
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JIM LEHRER: Next, the story of the journalist imprisoned in Tehran, and to Margaret Warner.
MARGARET WARNER: On Sunday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmandinejad sent a letter to the prosecutor asking the court to let Saberi defend herself fully on appeal. Iran's secretive judiciary is under no obligation to comply.
Today, her father expressed hope that prosecutors will listen to Ahmadinejad.
REZA SABERI, father, Roxana Saberi: I hope they will heed that letter, and they will pay close attention to all the evidence in the file, and judge justly and fairly, and also they should be compassionate in their judgment and not very harsh.
MARGARET WARNER: Later today, the chief of the judiciary ordered a full investigation into Saberi's case.
Saberi was detained in January originally for buying a bottle of wine, which is against Iranian law. Subsequently, she was accused of working without proper press credentials and then charged with spying for the United States.
A dual American-Iranian citizen raised in Fargo, North Dakota, Saberi moved to Iran six years ago as a journalist. She's contributed to National Public Radio and the BBC and did one report for the NewsHour in 2006.
President Obama, when asked about her case at a news conference yesterday, refuted the spying charge.
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Obviously, I am gravely concerned with her safety and well-being. She is an American citizen, and I have complete confidence that she was not engaging in any sort of espionage.
MARGARET WARNER: And today, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton echoed that assertion and told reporters that Saberi should be released.
HILLARY CLINTON, secretary of State: She should be freed immediately, that the charges against her are baseless, and that she has been subjected to a process that has been nontransparent, unpredictable, arbitrary.
MARGARET WARNER: Saberi's one-hour-long trial last Monday was held behind closed doors. Her father says she was not allowed to fully defend herself.

Date: 2012
Source: Wikipedia
Abstract: End Day is a 2005 docu-drama produced by the BBC and aired on the National Geographic Channel, on the TV series, National Geographic Channel Presents, that depicts various doomsday scenarios. The documentary follows the fictional scientist Dr. Howell, played by Glenn Conroy, as he travels from his London hotel room to his laboratory in New York City, and shows how each scenario affects his journey as well as those around him, with various experts providing commentary on that specific disaster as it unfolds.
The following descriptions of the program were released by the BBC: "Imagine waking up to the last day on Earth..." "Inspired by the predictions of scientists, End Day creates apocalyptic scenarios that go beyond reality. In a single hour, explore five different fictional disasters, from a giant tsunami hitting New York to a deadly meteorite strike on Berlin."
Below are the various catastrophes depicted in the order they occur in the film:
- In this scenario, a volcanic eruption on the island of La Palma triggers a massive landslide wherein a sizable portion of the island collapses into the sea, causing a massive mega-tsunami to race across the Atlantic ocean and strike the east coast of the United States, inundating most of New York City, but leaving many buildings intact.
Killer Asteroid
- This scenario begins with a mysterious 'missile attack' in a remote area somewhere in the Middle East. The 'missiles' are soon revealed to be small asteroid fragments, the advance guard of a much larger asteroid on a collision course with Earth, threatening Berlin, Germany. The asteroid is located and an attempt is made to alter its course using nuclear ICBMs. The attempt fails, resulting in the asteroid being broken into hundreds of smaller pieces with the biggest piece then impacting and obliterating Berlin.
- In this scenario, a mysterious virus similar to SARS or influenza is unleashed, wreaking havoc as it spreads at a phenomenal rate throughout Europe, the UK, and North America, prompting many countries to enact martial law and close their borders in a frantic attempt to quarantine the spread of the disease, but are unsuccessful.
- This scenario is based on the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park erupting, incinerating everything within 100 km and releasing ash into the atmosphere which cools the Earth. This segment has only aired in the UK. This scenario was explored in depth in another BBC docudrama, Supervolcano.
- This is the only scenario in which Dr. Howell reaches his laboratory
unhindered, with people protesting, and shouting,"STOP THE EXPERIMENT!"
outside. Upon arrival, he and his colleagues initiate a highly
controversial experiment using the world's largest particle accelerator. The experiment quickly goes out of control, resulting in the creation of a new type of matter called a strangelet, which begins to consume and destroy all matter around it, starting with New York City. The phenomenon wreaks havoc on Earth's weather systems and atmosphere, and eventually leads to Earth's off-screen destruction.
All original official sources cite five different scenarios including a giant volcanic explosion, but the volcanic explosion segment has never been aired in the United States. It has been edited out by the National Geographic Channel for time problems and all references to it on the National Geographic website have been removed. Only the other four scenarios have been aired. However, the BBC website had the super volcano episode until it was removed sometime after May 28. 2006. UKTV History aired the version including the supervolcano segment on January 23, 2007. However, in the original BBC airing each of the scenarios showed the attempts of a family or person to escape the depicted disaster as well as following Dr. Howell, these segments were mostly cut from the UKTV History version aired in 2007. The volcano sequence can however be found on the popular video website YouTube.
A French-dubbed version of End Day was also aired in France (on the channel W9[1]) and in Belgium (on RTBF[2]), under the title Fin du monde : les quatre scénarios (End day: the four scenarios). The "super volcano" scenario was not included.
In-Film References
At one point when Dr. Howell drives off in a taxi at the beginning of the second episode, a front of a cinema is visible behind with "Groundhog Day now showing". In Groundhog Day, the protagonist is stuck in a single day of his life, repeating it time after time with minor variations — similar to the life of Dr. Howell. Transitions between the disasters are shown in such that it turns out that the prior disaster was actually a movie on a TV that has been left running overnight and the credits would roll as Dr. Howell's alarm clock goes off (Wikipedia, 2012).

I had to take about a dozen screen shots the other day and my (new-ish) MacBook does not have a Print Screen key. Instead of remapping a key (I use SharpKeys for that) or finding a keyboard, I installed an NFR copy of SnagIt that I was given a few months back. What a great tool. Wow! You think that taking a screen cap is no big deal but SnagIt makes the process so simple that it's almost enjoyable.
The default behaviour is to pop open the SnagIt editor after the capture and you can quickly crop as needed and save out to file.
The "Menu with time delay" option is indispensable if you have to take images of menus:
And there are a bunch of features that are just too much work in Photoshop (and impossible in Paint) like torn edges, highlights, blurred backgrounds, etc.
SnagIt is from the good folks at TechSmith. TechSmith also makes Camtasia, which I have long loved for making screencasts. I'm now putting SnagIt in the "Love It" category as well. If you make documentation or post screen shots on the web (e.g., in a blog :) ) without SnagIt, you don't know what you're missing. And they even offer a 30-day trial.

After a call for help from the mission, 301 W. Superior St., Fort Wayne Police have increased bicycle patrols in the area around the mission, Coley said. In addition, the mission is working to increase and improve security systems and cameras at that location, Coley said.
They hope to raise $50,000 at the mission's 110th anniversary Celebration Banquet on Oct. 17 to help pay for the extra staff and security upgrades, he said.
"We want our place to be as safe as they want their neighborhoods to be," Coley said of other Fort Wayne residents.
The Rescue Mission began noticing an increase in violence against homeless people about six or seven months ago, said Coley, who has been CEO for six years. He attributes most of the violence to youth gangs.
Mission staff members have heard that gang members have come from as far away as Elkhart to do a "hit," or beating, on a homeless person as part of initiation into a gang, he said.
The 75-year-old male staffer was riding his bike to work when he was jumped and beaten near Freimann Square, which is at Clinton and Main streets, Coley said. The man, who since has recovered, recognized one or two of his attackers as people who had visited the Rescue Mission.
The mission later barred two men and one woman from coming back because of their reported involvement in the attack, Coley said.
Men who have been kicked out of the program have returned to threaten staff members or have left threatening phone messages for staff, he said.
In what Coley describes as a "near miss," a man carrying a gun entered through an unlocked door and walked past staff to try to threaten a homeless man who was at the mission. Staff members were able to scare away the assailant and call police, who apprehended the man, he said.
The mission since has instituted a policy barring community dining guests from wearing gang-related clothing or headgear, Coley said. Police presence also has been increased at meals.
There have been no problems at the Rescue Mission's Charis House, 431 Fairmount Place, which provides housing for homeless women and their children, he said.
But the mission has received reports of violence against or involving homeless people in the Wells Street corridor area north of the St. Marys River and in the tiny park at Wayne and Webster streets, across from the downtown Allen County Public Library.
"We have had problems with some of the groups that attend the park," said John Hidy, security services manager for the Allen County Public Library. But Hidy doesn't know if any of the people congregating there are part of a true gang or group.
Library security staff members have observed people drinking alcoholic beverages and using drugs in the park, he said. The library also has had some problems with vandalism in its plaza in front of the building's main entrance.
The staff checks security camera footage and notifies police if they can identify a suspect, he said.
If people cause a problem inside the library, they are given a verbal warning, he said. If they fail to comply with the library's code of conduct, they can be barred from entering for from one day to a year.
Many of the violence reports involve people in the 18-25 age group, Coley said.
The number of people in that age group the mission serves increased 7 percent in the past fiscal year, which ended June 30, he said.
He attributes the jump to youth aging out of foster care, more teens dropping out of high school, the lack of jobs available and young people leaving Indiana Department of Correction with no family or support system to which they can return.

The mission
Fort Wayne Rescue Mission works to help homeless people become self-supporting again, said the Rev. Donovan Coley, the mission's senior pastor and CEO.
In addition to overnight accommodations, it offers programs to help people earn their GED high school-equivalency degree, prepare for employment, recover from addictions and more.
It cared for 1,275 men, women and children during the fiscal year ending June 30, an increase of 12 percent from the previous fiscal year, Coley said.
Its men's division can serve about 120 men per night, and the women's division, Charis House, can accommodate a total of 78 women and children.
The mission also offers free breakfast, lunch and dinner to its clients and to anyone in the community, he said.

The crew over at AnandTech have put together a preview of ATI's upcoming core logic chipset the RS400. One exciting feature about the RS400 is that it will have a real DirectX 9 IGP. ATI isn't stopping with one chipset; no ATI is releasing three RS400 chipsets. The RS400 chipset is going to give Intel's a run for its money.
As ATI begins to distribute Non Disclosure Agreements for its upcoming core logic, we though we would fill in the blanks before too much information gets thrown under the carpet (until launch date that is).
The major advantage of RS400 over RS350 is the adoption of a real DirectX 9 IGP. Even though RS350 utilizes a Radeon 9100 Pro for IGP, it is still technically DX8.1. RS400 will integrate the Radeon 9600 Non-Pro GPU onboard, which should give Intel's 915G a run for its money. If ATI's roadmaps are to be trusted, this is a bit of a surprise for us. Our original roadmaps in April market RS480 to launch with DX8.1 instead of DX9. Unfortunately, graphics performance is only the secondary function of an IGP chipset, and thus the northbridge must be up to snuff. ATI's memory controller has been its downfall many times before in the past.
ATI originally claimed DDR2-667 support in time for the RS400 launch so we are in eager anticipation if ATI can deliver this expectation before Intel. Intel has moved its DDR2-667 deployment until Q1'05, but we have to take that deployment with a grain of salt; 925XE sampling starts next week and the next Intel chipset for release after that is scheduled for Q2'05.

Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Biotic, Nov 9, 2012.
A few pictures i took of our demo
Any info on a release date?
Radio Shack has it listed in their Black Friday ad, and that's only 3 days away and the phone still isn't announced.
we have accessories already out to sell and the phone is in our ads however our shipment doesnt come till friday... so im assuming the phones might be in the shipment or they were delayed. The verizon rep did mention they were delayed but at what date, i do not know.
Size wize compared to the original is exact same. only difference with keyboard is that the nav buttons were removed. Other than that the device was upgraded for ics and nothing else
just in they will be here by black friday
What store do you work at?
I'm planning on hitting Radio Shack at 6am Friday morning with my wife to get her the phone, but I'd like to know if it's actually going to be there or not. I'm going to stop by the local RS store tomorrow and see if they know anything or have them already. I figure they have to be delivered tomorrow if they are going to be on sale Friday morning at 6am.
Received ours today.

Offshore Industry Instant Weather Forecasting by TerraWeather
Singapore's Terra Weather say that Offshore planners and asset managers will now be able to plan critical offshore activities with greater confidence and accuracy, by taking advantage of a first ever cloud-based weather planning tool that allows users to get real-time, instant weather information any time, anywhere. An internet connectio is all that's needed.
TerraWaves is a global online weather service that uses advanced multi-modeling statistical tools to provide time-critical weather information to businesses operating in the offshore industry, including offshore construction, heavy transport, exploration and production.
Having immediate access to accurate information on weather conditions is extremely important to avoid any costly unplanned downtime and damage to expensive equipment as well as vessel and crew safety.
"Traditional weather studies may take one to four weeks to arrive at the offshore planner's desk, but with a cloud-based planning tool like TerraWaves, planners will now have instant access to weather information that provides valuable insights into past weather patterns and predictions of future weather," says Arnold Doray, Forecast Manager of Terra Weather, the Singapore-headquartered company which has developed this advanced online weather planning tool.
Being completely customizable and interactive is another outstanding feature of TerraWaves, explains Doray who also headed the team of software engineers and meteorologists who took three years to design and develop the product.
TerraWaves allows offshore planners to specify operating thresholds for wind, waves, tides and currents, and seamlessly interact with historical data to generate instant and detailed weather reports, complete with tables, graphs and charts.
The suppliers say that TerraWaves has had a successful pilot run since April 2013 with very encouraging results from offshore companies who tested the tool. The company plans to launch the product in the first quarter of 2014.

This song was recently posted, but it was in a format not easy for me to
play. If the previous post worked for you, you should stop reading this
post now.
Basically, I wanted to be able to play this song without memorizing it,
and my ear is real bad, and my girlfriend wants it and is just starting
to play, so it had to be real easy. Chords are printed with every line,
You can skip the chords in ( ), and I moved the chords to where they
sound right, not where the music says. (this is SIMP format)
. Leader of the Band - Dan Fogelberg
. Intro: G7 C Am Em D G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G
G (C/G) G Bm C
An only child alone and wild, a cabinet maker's son
Am Em Am C D
His hands were meant for different work and his heart was known to none.
G (C/G) G Bm C
He left his home and went his lone and solitary way
. Am Em Am D7 G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G
And he gave to me a gift I know I never can repay
G (C/G) G Bm C
A quiet man of music, denied a simpler fate
Am Em Am C D
He tried to be a soldier once but his music wouldn't wait
G (C/G) G Bm C
He earned his love through discipline, a thund'ring velvet hand
. Am Em Am D7 G
His gentle means of sculpting souls took me years to understand
. C Bm C G
. The leader of the band is tired and his eyes are growing old
. Am Em Am F D
. But his blood runs through my instrument and his song is in my soul
. C Bm C G
. My life has been a poor attempt to imitate the man
. Am Em Am C G
. I'm just a living legacy to the lea--der of-- the band
G (C/G) G Bm C
My brothers' lives were different for they heard another call
Am Em Am C D
One went to Chicago, the other to St. Paul
G (C/G) G Bm C
And I'm in Colorado when I'm not in some hotel
Am Em Am D7 G (C/G) G
Living out this life I chose and come to know so well
. G7 C Am Em D7 G (C/G) G (C/G) G (C/G) G
(no lyrics)
G (C/G) G Bm C
I thank you for the music and your stories of the road
Am Em Am C D
I thank you for the freedom when it came my time to go
G (C/G) G Bm C
I thank you for the kindness and the times when you got tough
Am Em Am D7 G
And papa I don't think I said "I love you" near enough.

What do you think of this format? If you like it, then SIMP
(Stupidity Induced Music Page) format is for you. I SIMPed this song
because I want to play the song without spending a lot of time
practicing/memorizing it, my ear is not good, and I wanted it in a form
where I could play it correctly the even if I had not practiced it for
I'm trying to get several hundred rock songs in this format. If you
are interested in cooperating, please Email me. I currently have
20 or 30 songs in the SIMP format, which I have found easier to
play than any other format I have seen.
SIMP format briefly:
A: Chords printed with every line
B: It should be easily printable on 1 (sometimes 2) pages.
C: Chord chart included.
D: If some of the chord changes aren't really apparent, put them
in ( ) so that some players can skip them
E: You should be able to play it really easily
Does this sound like something you are interested in? If so, please
E-mail me. If you're interested in bilaterally exchanging songs in SIMP,
I'll send you a list of what I have so far.
Happiness is a LEARNed condition - Tom Robbins, from "Another Roadside Attraction"
Verse 3, line 4 should be "Living out this life I've chosen, come to know so well."
Chorus, last line, the hyphens in "leader of the band" are confusing, not to mention inconsistent with the text formatting of the rest of the lyrics. Please omit them. Hyphens are not readily recognized as indicating musical pauses or notes held out (if that's the point.

Lah-Toh County was a county in Idaho Territory from 1864 to 1867.
Lah-Toh County was created by the Idaho Territorial Legislature in 1864 with Coeur d'Alene as its county seat. The name is Nez Perce for "the place of pine trees and sestle". The county was abolished in 1867, although sources disagree whether the area was absorbed by Nez Perce County or Kootenai County. It is most likely Kootenai since Coeur d'Alene serves as that county's county seat.
The county was re-established in 1888 with different boundaries as Latah County.

Jack Nicholson makes Zadan and Meron's "'List'
Gay mega-producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron have brought us everything from singing murderesses ("Chicago") to creepy conservatives ("The Reagans").
Now they're taking a look at impending death with "The Bucket List," a new comedy from director Rob Reiner.
Written by Justin Zackham whose prior credits include a direct-to-video T&A comedy called "Going Greek" the film will star Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman as two terminally ill men who break out of a cancer ward to complete a list of things they want to do before they kick the bucket: gambling at Monte Carlo, racing cars, and shoveling down caviar.
With such recent stinkers as "Alex & Emma" and "Rumor Has It" behind him, let's hope that "make another good movie" is on Reiner's own to-do list.
K.D., Elton sing for Bennett
Crooner Tony Bennett does everything in style if you don't count his ill-fated stab at movie stardom in the 1960s so-bad-it's-good classic "The Oscar" so it's no surprise that his upcoming 80th birthday will be a splashy affair.
Queer director Rob Marshall (the man behind the 2005 camp howler "Memoirs of a Geisha") is putting together "Tony Bennett: An American Classic," a TV special that will air in the fall in conjunction with Bennett's birthday and his similarly titled CD of duets. Musicians who will share the spotlight with the singer who left his heart in San Francisco include queer celebrities Elton John and K.D. Lang, along with Diana Krall, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, John Legend, and violinist Pinchas Zukerman.
Will they expect him to blow out all 80 candles by himself?
Mullally a go for "'Passing Strange'
Finally getting to put down her martini glass after eight years of playing the hilarious Karen Walker on "Will & Grace," Megan Mullally has decided to try her hand at producing. The bisexual actress, singer, and soon-to-be talk-show host has optioned the movie rights to Sally McLeod's novel "Passing Strange" for her own as-yet-unnamed production company, with Martin Garner hired to write the screenplay.
"Strange" tells the story of an unattractive woman who undergoes major plastic surgery at the behest of her husband's family. When the couple moves to the Deep South, the newly hot wife embarks on an affair with an African-American gardener that leads to dramatic consequences. Sort of sounds like "Far From Heaven" meets "The Swan."
Pitt-ure perfect
A Jordanian salesman who tried to pass an I.D. card bearing Brad Pitt's picture has gone on trial in the United Arab Emirates. The 29-year-old salesman is accused of forging the card, using the Hollywood heartthrob's picture and an Arabic name in his quest to lift more than $22,000 left unclaimed in an exchange house where his brother worked as a teller.
They don't let 'em out much in the U.A.E. The man told authorities he'd never heard of Brad Pitt, but he finally admitted downloading the photo from the Internet.
First "'Clouds,' Now "'Sky'
One of the most gorgeously shot films of recent years was the swooning gay love story "A Thousand Clouds of Peace," a delirious and romantic fever dream from Mexico that was honored with the prestigious Teddy Award at the 2003 Berlin Film Festival.
"Clouds" director Julian Hernandez has returned with a new film, "Broken Sky" ("El Cielo Dividido"), about two passionate Mexican gay lovers whose relationship is challenged when each encounters a new man.
If Hernandez's sexy "Clouds" is any indication, look for the action in "Broken Sky" to get muy caliente: early reviews have noted that what the film lacks in dialogue, it more than makes up for in nudity.
Strand Releasing will distribute "Broken Sky" in the United States this fall.

'HYMNS for the Christian Life' is the highly-anticipated fourth US release from preeminent local modern hymn writers and recording artists Keith and Kristyn Getty.
Produced by Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Switchfoot) and Ed Cash (Chris Tomlin, Kari Jobe), the 12-song project explores such themes as work, family, money, community and social action, showcasing Irish melodies as well as American bluegrass and country music influences.
This original collection is highlighted by a special 10th anniversary recording of 'In Christ Alone', featuring 27-time Grammy Award-winner Alison Krauss. Penned by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, the world-renowned modern hymn has been recorded by numerous artists over the past decade, including Owl City, Natalie Grant and Newsboys, and is a classic sung in churches around the globe.
In addition, bluegrass icon Ricky Skaggs joins the couple on 'Simple Living (A Rich Young Man)'. Written by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend, the song is based on the Bible story of the rich young ruler. Clannad's Moya Brennan, one of Ireland's most beloved recording artists, also contributes to Hymns for the Christian Life, singing a traditional Gaelic lullaby as part of 'A Mother's Prayer'. Keith & Kristyn Getty, along with Fionan de Barra (Broadway's Riverdance), penned the piece for their young daughter, Eliza Joy.
"The concept for these songs began two years ago when we took a break from touring and settled in Nashville," explained Keith. "Amid conversations with friends and coworkers around our dinner table and on our porch, we found ourselves discussing the challenges of the Christian life. We pondered ideas such as, 'What does it mean to succeed in your job but not make it your god? How do I handle doubt? In what way should I pray for my children? What is our responsibility for the care of others inside and outside our community?' We believe the Gospel story touches every part of life, so these new songs are a reflection of those conversations and us turning to the Gospel for guidance.
"We hope Hymns for the Christian Life also reflects our continuing goal to write modern hymns for the Church," added Kristyn. "What excites us most about the work we do is seeing a song used by a congregation and hoping it becomes part of the soundtrack that follows a believer through life."

God and Race in American Politics:
Religion has been a powerful political force throughout American history. When race enters the mix the results have been some of our greatest triumphs as a nation--and some of our most shameful failures. In this important book, Mark Noll, one of the most influential historians of American religion writing today, traces the explosive political effects of the religious intermingling with race.
Noll demonstrates how supporters and opponents of slavery and segregation drew equally on the Bible to justify the morality of their positions. He shows how a common evangelical heritage supported Jim Crow discrimination and contributed powerfully to the black theology of liberation preached by Martin Luther King Jr. In probing such connections, Noll takes readers from the 1830 slave revolt of Nat Turner through Reconstruction and the long Jim Crow era, from the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s to "values" voting in recent presidential elections. He argues that the greatest transformations in American political history, from the Civil War through the civil rights revolution and beyond, constitute an interconnected narrative in which opposing appeals to Biblical truth gave rise to often-contradictory religious and moral complexities. And he shows how this heritage remains alive today in controversies surrounding stem-cell research and abortion as well as civil rights reform.
God and Race in American Politics is a panoramic history that reveals the profound role of religion in American political history and in American discourse on race and social justice.
"Mark A. Noll is one of our leading historians of religion. . . . [God and Race in American Politics] tells us a lot about how we talk about God in politics, yesterday and today. As he does so often, Noll here writes serenely about volatile subjects."--Martin E. Marty, Chronicle of Higher Education
"[Noll] has produced yet another admirable synthesis of a huge body of American history and historiography. . . . [T]houghtful Christian readers will find this work indispensable in understanding the big picture of race, religion, and politics in American history."--Paul Harvey, Christianity Today
"Noll's incisive history offers a significant introduction to the tangled relationship of race, religion, and politics in America."--Henry L. Carrigan, Jr., Foreword
"[T]his work is just the sort of introduction that those unfamiliar with the contours of politics, race and religion need. . . . Concerning the struggle for civil rights, Noll makes a powerful argument. While acknowledging the importance of the courts and community organizing, he aptly points out that religion was the indispensable foundation of the civil rights movement. The conviction that God was on the side of the black freedom struggle was powerful."--Randall J. Stephens, Christian Century
"[Noll's] work will be a must read for scholars of U.S. religious and political history."--Choice
"With the self-assurance of a skilled painter, Noll applies a series of brushstrokes that define five political alignments, each influenced by the comparative strength of the state, the market, and religion. . . . Noll's is a tragic vision but one that nevertheless brings welcome clarity to the nation's primary moral dilemma."--Andrew Rojecki, Journal of Church History

I will never forget a conversation I had with a Florida Gator fan before last season.
"Who cares about the Heisman?" he told me.
"Who cares!?" I exclaimed. "Anyone who loves college football cares somewhat about the Heisman."
"Not me. All I care about are the Gators. The Heisman is a joke. No one cares about it anymore."
Well, the conversation didn't end there, but even a casual observer of college football can see that the Heisman is as hot a topic as ever, as witnessed by the lists that are springing up here and there.
Yeah, it appears that the 2005 race has begun. And people already are talking about it and debating it.
I have the feeling that after this season, even that Gator fan will admit he was interested.Powered by Sidelines
