During the recent past, the USA has either politically interfered or used military power in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Egypt. The result of all that is that most of the people in those countries currently hate the USA, there is no doubt about that.Now Obama, who was elected as an anti-war guy, wants to use military power to attack Syria, considering the history of USA politically interfering and using military power in the Middle East in the last decade or so, what do you think the result will be in Syria if Congress gives Obama the thumbs up to attack Syria? I say not good!

As well it should. Many speculate that gun running from Libya to Syrian rebels played a role in our people getting killed and explain the cover-up. The American people deserve and demand answers and justice!

It´s about time that someone pointe out that Benghazi was covered by a bald-faced lie that was echoed through the entire administration and intelligence agencies. Why should we believe the same people this time? What has changed?

I smell a rat! Thhis whole Syria circus is a big distraction to divert attention from something bad happening. Obamanation care is the number 1 suspect.

The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association called for an extension of the July 21 deadline for new derivatives rules, arguing regulators don't have enough time to consider critical issues in the transformation of the swaps market.
Ken Bentsen, SIFMA's executive vice president of public policy and advocacy, applauded the passage of a bill by the House Agricultural Committee this week that would delay the implementation of new derivatives regulations until December 31, 2012. The bill is expected to be voted on next week by the House Financial Services Committee and should it pass, would then be considered by the full House.
"This legislation would provided additional time for regulators to draft rules, conduct additional cost-benefit analysis, and consider the cumulative impacts of these rules on the market and how they would affect business and consumers," Bentsen said in a statement."

Large sections of Tinseltown are in Richter-scale ruins in the aftermath of the Pulse and a devastating earthquake.

Facts concerning the Grand Coulee massacre, the secret government program known as The Phoenix Project, and the Conclave's breeding program, to name but a few.Putting these documents together in one place poses a big risk--not just to the corrupt, but to the innocent as well.

Dark Angel: Lord Carew's Brideby Mary Balogh

Dark Angel / Lord Carew's Bride (Dark Angel #1 and #2)by Mary Balogh
DARK ANGEL: Jennifer Winwood has been engaged for five years to a man she hardly knows but believes to be honorable and good: Lord Lionel Kersey. Suddenly, she becomes the quarry of London's most notorious womanizer, Gabriel Fisher, the Earl of Thornhill. Jennifer has no idea that she is just a pawn in the long-simmering feud between these two headstrong, irresistible men--or that she will become a prize more valuable than revenge. LORD CAREW'S BRIDE: Jennifer's cousin Samantha Newman is smarting after she too is toyed with by Lord Kersey. In the midst of her heartbreak, she seeks solace from her new friend, the disabled gardener Hartley Wade. If only she knew that Hartley is secretly Lord Carew, and that he hides more than extraordinary wealth: a passionate secret held deep in his heart that only her love can reveal.

Yet Max and her inner circle know they must investigate the crimes and stop the bloodshed. Doing nothing would simply give the normals more reasons to hate.But what they discover will shock even the most jaded among them--and expose a sinister agenda that leads to an old, nefarious foe. . . .

So he returns to Germany to find the woman he had once loved--and to start some kind of life in a vanquished country. But ahead of Walter stretches a dark landscape of defeat and intrigue, as he succumbs to the corrupting influences of a malevolent time. Now he enters a different kind of war, one in which he must make a fateful decision-between love and ambition, passion and greed, life and death.

Dark Bargain: Slavery, Profits, and the Struggle for the Constitutionby Lawrence Goldstone
An eye-opening examination of America's foundation. On September 17, 1787, at the State House in Philadelphia, thirty-nine men from twelve states, after months of often bitter debate, signed America's Constitution. Yet very few of the delegates, at the start, had had any intention of creating a nation that would last. Most were driven more by pragmatic, regional interests than by idealistic vision. Many were meeting for the first time, others after years of contention, and the inevitable clash of personalities would be as intense as the advocacy of ideas or ideals. No issue was of greater concern to the delegates than that of slavery: it resounded through debates on the definition of treason, the disposition of the rich lands west of the Alleghenies and the admission of new states, representation and taxation, the need for a national census, and the very make-up of the legislative and executive branches of the new government. As Lawrence Goldstone provocatively makes clear in Dark Bargain, "to a significant and disquieting degree, America's most sacred document was molded and shaped by the most notorious institution in its history." Goldstone chronicles the forging of the Constitution through the prism of the crucial compromises made by men consumed with the needs of the slave economy. As the daily debates and backroom conferences in inns and taverns stretched through July and August of that hot summer--and as the philosophical leadership of James Madison waned--Goldstone clearly reveals how tenuous the document was, and how an agreement between unlikely collaborators John Rutledge of South Carolina, and Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth of Connecticut--got the delegates past their most difficult point. Dark Bargain recounts an event as dramatic and compelling as any in our nation's history.

Each running from a shadowed past, Kate, Asher, and Elsie take refuge within the walls of Summerfield College. But their peace is soon shattered by the discovery of a dead body nearby. Is this the work of a flesh-and-blood villain, or is something otherworldly at play? This unlikely trio must illuminate what the scientists have not, and open a window to secrets taken to the grave--or risk joining the spirit world themselves.

But upon further investigation, Urban realizes that his sister is involved in a dark and sinister scheme to steal black babies from poor girls in small, rural towns and sell them to the highest bidders. As Urban digs deeper and deeper into the kidnapping network, he gets dangerously close to the heart of the matter and is disgusted and disheartened by what he discovers. Dark Child is a chilling story about the untold struggles of the disenfranchised that inspiringly illustrates how one man is not able to turn his back on the problems of his former community -- even though he so desperately wants to leave that troubled place in his past forever.

Dark Continent: Europe's Twentieth Centuryby Mark Mazower
"A useful, important book that reminds us, at the right time, how hard [European unity] has been, and how much care must be taken to avoid the terrible old temptations." --Los Angeles Times. Dark Continent provides an alternative history of the twentieth century, one in which the triumph of democracy was anything but a foregone conclusion and fascism and communism provided rival political solutions that battled and sometimes triumphed in an effort to determine the course the continent would take. Mark Mazower strips away myths that have comforted us since World War II, revealing Europe as an entity constantly engaged in a bloody project of self-invention. Here is a history not of inevitable victories and forward marches, but of narrow squeaks and unexpected twists, where townships boast a bronze of Mussolini on horseback one moment, only to melt it down and recast it as a pair of noble partisans the next. Unflinching, intelligent, Dark Continent provides a provocative vision of Europe's past, present, and future--and confirms Mark Mazower as a historian of valuable gifts.
Dark Cosmosby Dan Hooper
The twentieth century was astonishing in all regards, shaking the foundations of practically every aspect of human life and thought, physics not least of all. Beginning with the publication of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, through the wild revolution of quantum mechanics, and up until the physics of the modern day (including the astonishing revelation, in 1998, that the Universe is not only expanding, but doing so at an ever-quickening pace), much of what physicists have seen in our Universe suggests that much of our Universe is unseen-that we live in a dark cosmos. Everyone knows that there are things no one can see-the air you're breathing, for example, or, to be more exotic, a black hole. But what everyone does not know is that what we can see-a book, a cat, or our planet-makes up only 5 percent of the Universe. The rest-fully 95 percent-is totally invisible to us; its presence discernible only by the weak effects it has on visible matter around it. This invisible stuff comes in two varieties-dark matter and dark energy. One holds the Universe together, while the other tears it apart. What these forces really are has been a mystery for as long as anyone has suspected they were there, but the latest discoveries of experimental physics have brought us closer to that knowledge. Particle physicist Dan Hooper takes his readers, with wit, grace, and a keen knack for explaining the toughest ideas science has to offer, on a quest few would have ever expected: to discover what makes up our dark cosmos.

Award-winning Burlington College Film School student Noah Petrie has a rare opportunity to participant in the Filmmaker Institute of the Creative Mind Group at the Cannes Film Festival in France this spring.
Petrie is selected from a large pool of applicants to attend this two-week program called "Creative Minds in Cannes," from May 14th to the 28th. The event's activities include a short film competition judged by a panel of industry professionals, daily networking events, filmmaker workshops and Cinema Master Classes hosted by industry icons such as Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese
"This is a huge opportunity for my film career and has been a dream of mine ever since I discovered my love for film back in high school," Petrie said.
Petrie, a native of Swarthmore, PA, who has one more semester at Burlington College, is enrolled in its Film School. Last fall, he took part in the Vermont International Film Festival, a 24-hour filmmaking festival, at the Flynn Theater for the Performing Arts. He was cinematographer and editor on the film produced by Burlington College students that won the award for Best Short Film.
Last fall in my Cinematography class, [Burlington College faculty] Jeff Wager pushed students to be a little more adventurous with their internships; to go after something they really wanted to do as opposed to doing it just to graduate. That stuck with me."
"When I saw the flyer for the program, there were just two weeks left before the early application deadline. "I figured it wouldn't hurt to try and I'd get a discounted application fee. I wasn't expecting to get in at all. I'm glad I applied," he said.
Michael Fisher, an adjunct professor at Burlington College and leader on the 24-hour Film Festival, provided his letter of recommendation. "Noah has been an inspirational, tireless, creative force on every project on which we've collaborated," Fisher said. "I have encountered very few young filmmakers as hard-working, enthusiastic, and easy to get along with. There is no question he will make the most of this unique opportunity. He is one to watch."
There is only one drawback. "I'm a broke college kid," he said. Petrie must raise $3,000 to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and has created a website for the purpose, http://www.indiegogo.com/NoahPetrieInCannes. [2] He has a month left to raise the needed funds.
As stated on its website, the Creative Mind Group's mission is to "find the next generation of talented film and TV professionals and usher them into the entertainment industry." The organization has taken over 400 students to Cannes, established over 200 internships and produced over 50 films. It has provided over 40 jobs for its alumni.
At Cannes, students will be divided into groups and given a week in which to write and shoot a short film. The films are then screened at the festival, judged by a panel of giants in the industry. Winning entries are awarded trophies and prizes. During the second week, students attend filmmaker workshops, lectures, classes taught by famous directors, and networking events.
"I'm really grateful for all of the help from the teachers and others at Burlington College that helped make this happen," Petrie said. "It's an amazing opportunity."

EPA Head Misleads The Public in Her Crusade against Coal
Lisa Jackson unfairly trashes coal, an affordable, domestic energy source that has only gotten cleaner.
Thomas Pyle is the president of the Institute for Energy Research.
Last week, EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson spoke at an event sponsored by the Sierra Club and made some serious accusations against coal-fired power plants. Jackson said that "In their [coal-fired power plants] entire history—50, 60, 70 years, or even 30 . . . they never found the time or the reason to clean up their act," (subscription-only). As the administration's head environmental regulator, Jackson has to know that this statement is blatantly false.
According to EPA itself, air-quality is now as clean as it's been since EPA started keeping records (EPA, Air Quality Trend. See also EPA, Our Nation's Air—Status and Trends through 2008). In part, this is because coal-fired power plants are much cleaner than in the past because of pollution control technologies. Since 1970, the six so-called criteria pollutants have declined significantly, even though coal use by coal-fired plants has nearly tripled (EIA, Annual Energy Review 2010, Table 7.3 Coal Consumption by Sector, 1949–2010).
[See a slide show of a reality check on U.S. energy sources.]
Here is a graphic from EPA's website which shows that pollution has fallen by 63 percent even as GDP increased by 204 percent, energy consumption grew by 41 percent, and population grew by 50 percent (EIA, Air Quality Trends, Comparison of Growth Areas and Emission, 1970-2009. See also EPA, Air Quality Trends).
Those are the overall trends. The 63 percent reduction in pollution emissions came from not only coal-fired power plants, but other emissions sources as well. Coal-fired power plants themselves have achieved large emissions reductions even though coal use has nearly tripled since 1970.
According to EPA data, from 1989 to 2009 alone, total coal use increased by 19 percent. Even though total coal use increased, total sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants fell by 62 percent and nitrogen oxide emissions fell by 76 percent. What is even more impressive about this reduction in emissions is that, as the chart above shows, large improvements occurred from 1970 to 1989 and yet coal-fired power plants continued to reduce air pollution emissions.
[See a collection of political cartoons on energy policy.]
After looking at the data, it is hard to see how Lisa Jackson could claim that coal-fired power plants "never found the time or the reason to clean up their act" over the last 30-70 years. Either she is an anti-coal crusader not concerned about the truth, or she is grossly negligent about basic air pollution facts. It is difficult to believe the Obama administration's head environmental regulator does not understand the basic facts about air quality and pollution emissions from coal-fired power plants. Given her statement, however, it is certainly possible.
The biggest challenge for coal-fired power plants is the Obama administration's unrelenting assault on the plants and their workers. Administrator Jackson has been the point person for this assault. EPA has promulgated carbon dioxide regulations on coal-fired power plants, they have proposed ozone rules, used special "guidance" in Appalachia to halt new coal mines, considered regulating coal ash as hazardous waste, and proposed regulations that will shutter 28 gigawatts of electricity generating capacity (most of which will be coal).
[See the 10 priciest years in history for gas.]
America's air quality has dramatically improved over the past 40 years and will continue to improve. It is an untold success story. The Obama administrator's head environmental regulator cannot be ignorant of our clean air success, but unless she was misquoted, either she is ignorant or she is deliberately misleading the American people about coal-fired power plants' impressive reduction in pollution emissions and low cost of electricity generation. Whether it is ignorance or intentionally misleading the American people, either option speaks very poorly of Administrator Jackson.

On Sunday night, TNA Wrestling presents their first pay-per-view event of 2013, Genesis. To get you excited for Sunday's show, TNA is offering streaming Genesis 2011 for free on both TNA On Demand and on YouTube.com. That event featured Matt Morgan and Mr. Anderson battle each other for the right to fight TNA World Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy later in the show. This year's show also features two men gunning for Jeff's title but this time all of them will be in the ring at the same time in an Elimination Match.
Before I get to this event, I have to discuss a major announcement that TNA made earlier today. They have changed their pay-per-view strategy. The days of 12 monthly live pay-per-view events are over. The company will only be presenting four live shows via the traditional pay-per-view method in 2013. In addition to this show, the other three events will be Lockdown (March 10), Slammiversary (June 9), and Bound For Glory (October 13).
Starting in April, during month's when there are no live pay-per-view events, the company will present a new series of pay-per-view specials which will be branded TNA Wrestling: One Night Only. Because these three-hour shows will be taped in advance, they will be offered for a cheaper price. The shows will premiere on the first Friday of each month. The first two specials will be dubbed Joker's Wild Tag Team Tournament and X-travaganza. Both of these shows will feature the X Division and will both be filmed over the weekend.
The company's Unfinished Business one-hour long on demand pay-per-view series will be unaffected by these changes. That series, which focuses on either a historic rivalry or a specific pay-per-view event will still be available for two months at a time.
Overall, I like the idea of trimming down the live pay-per-view offerings as many times it seemed as though the company only focused their efforts on a few shows of the year and the other ones were held because they contractually needed to put some programming on. However, I'm not excited about having to wait until May to see an event being filmed this weekend.
As an example of a show that feels like it is just there because something needed to be broadcast, I present this show. The focus of tonight's edition of IMPACT WRESTLING wasn't making me interested in ordering Genesis, it was all about tuning into next week's show. For those that missed the ending of tonight's program, Bully Ray proposed to Brooke Hogan and the wedding will be taking place next week.
X Division Tournament Final: Christian York vs. Kenny King - The winner of this match will get a title shot against Rob Van Dam later on in the show. Since Kenny King recently beat RVD in a non-title match, I'm picking him to get a shot at the title during this show. Predicted Winner: Kenny King
X Division Championship: Champion Rob Van Dam vs. Winner of the X Division Tournament - Last month at Final Resolution, RVD successfully defended the title against Kenny King and then lost the previously mentioned match. I like Kenny King to win the rubber match in this series and also turn heel in this bout as he seems to be showing a bit of an attitude over the past few weeks. If I happened to be wrong about the winner of the prior match, I'd pick RVD to successfully retain the title against Christian York. Predicted Winner: Kenny King or RVD depending on who wins the prior match
#1 Contender's Gauntlet Match: Gail Kim vs. ODB vs. Miss Tessmacher vs. Mickie James vs. Velvet Sky - Because the company made a big deal about Velvet's return to the company a few weeks ago, I'm picking her to win this match and eventually winning the title from Tara. Predicted Winner: Velvet Sky
TNA World Tag Team Championship: Champions Chavo Guerrero & Hernandez vs. Matt Morgan & Joey Ryan - Matt Morgan's return to the company needs something major to happen soon before it flops. Things started off great with him interfering in random matches and then his stealing of Hulk Hogan's gear that he wore against Andre the Giant at Shea Stadium in 1980. However, Matt is nowhere near the current title scene and doesn't seem to fit into the other main event storyline involving Aces & Eights. Matt dominating tag team wrestling again seems like a repeat of the treadmill his career has been on but it is still better than him floundering around as the sidekick in a comedy act that can't win a title. Predicted Winners: Matt Morgan & Joey Ryan
Christopher Daniels vs. James Storm - While James Storm is on the cusp of the title scene, Christopher Daniels the perfect foil for him while all the controversy around the title continues. I think that this match is just the beginning of a feud that will eventually feature AJ Styles. Because Kazarian will probably be at ringside for Daniels, I'm picking one-half of the former World Tag Team Champions of the World to win this match due to outside interference. Predicted Winner: Christopher Daniels
Non-title Match: Television Champion Devon vs. Joseph Park - I have a basic rule of thumb when I do these predictions, whenever a champion's title is not on the line he will lose the match. Predicted Winner: Joseph Park
Sting vs. D.O.C. - In a one-on-one setting without the possibility of interference, I would always pick Sting to beat D.O.C. However, there are a few factors working against the Stinger in this one. Aces & Eights has full access to the iMPACT Zone and there is no doubt that the brotherhood of bikers will be involved in this one. Also, Sting is not out for a victory, he wants revenge. As he showed tonight, he is not afraid to use the hammer. I can see Sting giving up several opportunities to pin D.O.C. so he can deliver more punishment. That will cause Aces & Eights to come down to the ring to save their brother which will then lead to Kurt Angle's friends trying to stop them. In all the confusion, Mr. Anderson will be the difference maker and cause Sting to lose in a huge upset. Predicted Winner: D.O.C.
Elimination Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Champion Jeff Hardy vs. Bobby Roode vs. Austin Aries - Literally, the million dollar question here is whether Jeff Hardy has resigned with the company. His contract expires this month and I'm sure WWE wouldn't mind signing the huge merchandise seller now that his past problems can't impact any political campaigns. My gut feeling is that Jeff stays with TNA. Jeff latest love outside the ring is his music and due to the lighter schedule TNA offers it just makes sense to continue with TNA. Since I think that Jeff is going to resign with the company, I also think that he will retain the title. Predicted Winner: Jeff Hardy

The new smart fortwo: Even more smart fortwo
By Mike Hanlon
September 27, 2006
September 28, 2006 Eight years after it was first launched, the iconic smart fortwo is about to be superceded. The new smart fortwo, which will be launched in the spring of 2007, will not be on show at the Paris Mondial de l'Automobile this weekend as apparently the world premiere will take place some time later this year, at a location outside of the trade fair circuit. The Mercedes-owned company is dropping plenty of hints about what the new model will look like, releasing sketches of the new model this week and intimating via press release that a sand sculpture could be seen during the German beach volleyball championships that was closely based on the new model.

Jewel Theater
11 West 116th Street,
New York,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Grant Theater opened in 1910, designed by architect S.S. Sugar.. In 1913, work was carried out by architect Victor Hugo Koehler. It was renamed Jewel Theater in around 1921. The Jewel Theater is gone from listings by 1957.

Lost Memory; Here's what I have found….
1914-1915 American Motion Picture Directory
Empress Theatre, 104 W. 116th Street
Mecca Theatre, 261 W. 116th Street
Crown Theatre, 115 W. 116th Street
None of these made it to the 1926 Film Daily Yearbook or beyond…..
The Princess Theatre is nowhere to be seen in any listing that I have.
btw, the only other theatre I have listed in this stretch of W. 116th Street is the Loew's 116th Street Theatre, 132 W. 116th Street which is already listed on Cinema Treasures. It is open by 1926 so maybe that killed off some of these smaller theatres.
Thanks Ken. The Empress Theater appears to be the easier of the three to find information on. I'll add all three of these theaters. We can always fill in the blanks later.
Harlem Theatre Resold.
NY Times January 24, 1920
The Grand Theatre at 9 West 116th Street was resold yesterday to Friedman Brothers by Joseph Seiden and Morris Goldman, who bought it about a month ago. The Friedmans will make extensive improvements. L. Krieger was the broker in the sale and resale.
The NY Times gives the name of this theater as the Grand Theater in 1920. The address that they give is incorrect so I assume they also spelled the name wrong. Its possible that the name was changed to the Jewel Theater after the sale.
THEATRE GROUP FREE ON LOTTERY CHARGE; Six Cleared Because Grand Jury Refused to Indict
NY Times March 22, 1939
Because the New York County grand jury had refused to return an indictment under the lottery law six persons, including the manager, were freed yesterday on a charge that they operated a "numbers" game in the Jewel Theatre, at 11 West 116th Street, last September.
I just bought an old postcard with an ad on the back for the "Grant Theatre, 145th St. near 8th Av. High class Motion Pictures & refined vaudeville. Admission 10c, children 5c." The front is a photo of Gilbert M. Anderson (later known as Bronco Billy). Is anything known of this theatre? Perhaps it changed names or closed & moved to 116th St? Any info. appreciated.
A Kimball theater organ was installed in the Jewel (Grant) Theater in 1922.
A paramount Week ad for 1920 lists the Grant Theatre at 116th Street. By the following year's ad it it listed as the Jewel at 11 West 116th Street.
The New York City building permits database has an entry for a 3-story theater at 11-13 W. 116th Street, built in 1910. The architect was S. S. Sugar.
Listed as open in the 1946 Film Daily Yearbook. Listed as closed in the 1947 edition.
RichErickson (Jun 19, 2007) -
It sounds like the Odeon 145th Street Theatre (http://www.fadingad.com/047.html), which at one time seems to have specialized in Westerns.
There was a theatre next to the Odeon sometimes called the Avenue, Odeon Annex, and possibly Franklin. That could have also been the Grant once.

DC Black Pride 2007: Coalition aims to improve black gay men's health
Published on May 24, 2007, 12:00am | Comments
Among the infamous milestones of the HIV pandemic, June 2005 and the figure 46 percent stand out for African-American gay men. It was then that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta released data from a five-city study -- Baltimore, Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, San Francisco -- that revealed a 46 percent infection rate among surveyed black men who have sex with men. This was more than double the rate of any other ethnicity measured. If ever anyone wanted proof that the house was on fire, this was it. But the fire trucks weren't even nearby.
''The CDC released the five-city study, but they had no plan for addressing it,'' says Cornelius Baker, former head of D.C.'s Whitman-Walker Clinic. ''People like Leo Rennie (currently with the D.C. Department of Health) and Gary English (of New York's People of Color in Crisis Inc.) said, 'What do you mean you have no plan?' They immediately called a number of us together and said we had to do something.''
That something was the National Black Gay Men's Advocacy Coalition (NBGMAC), officially founded in January 2006 as a policy-driven coalition of organizations and members ''committed to saving the lives of lives of black men.'' The NBGMAC is part of this year's D.C. Black Pride, offering a town-hall meeting at the start of the weekend-long event, Thursday, May 24.
''What we've been doing since we formed is outreach,'' explains Ron Simmons, executive director of D.C.'s Us Helping Us-People Into Living and a member of the coalition's executive committee. ''This idea of having town-hall meetings attached to black-pride events is more to introduce ourselves. This is our way of getting out there and seeing what our constituents would like to see us working on, and to tell them about us -- and to see what we're missing. Pride is perfect because you've got people coming in from all over the country.''
As people come to D.C., NBGMAC has been doing its part to take the coalition to the people. So far, the group has held events in Austin, Charlotte, Miami and Philadelphia. While only the Philadelphia meeting was for a black-pride event, NBGMAC's participation in D.C. Black Pride shows that the coalition is committed to these venues.
''We can always dance, we can always party and wear new clothes, but rarely do black, gay men come together in a safe, alcohol-free setting to discuss these sorts of things,'' Simmons says of the May 24 meeting, as well as others down the road.
Baker, recently tapped to serve as the NBGMAC's national policy advisor, adds that along with the give-and-take of the town-hall meeting, the dinner that follows is just as important.
''The dinner part is as important as the talking part,'' he insists. ''It's really about networking and saying we have to address this. We can't be silent. We can't just ignore this.''
Neither can other communities. NBGMAC is planning a summit for later this season that will allow African-American gay men and straight African-American women to come together to work against HIV/AIDS in both communities.
''We do need a united strategy, because the house is on fire,'' says Simmons.
Adds Baker: ''Acknowledging that we care for each other, and getting past some stuff that's been dividing us -- there's a perception that we don't care for each other. We're all fighting this, no matter what community.''
While the community of black gay men and the community of black women have begun the discussions to help them forge ahead, united against HIV and AIDS, Baker says he hopes support will come across racial lines as well, from communities not hit so hard these days as the black community.
''We're at a turning point that's going to define who we are as a society,'' says Baker. ''We have treatments that some people have access to. Poor people, particularly African Americans, are just not able to engage in the same sort of prevention for a number of reasons. Black, young, gay men are being thrown out on the street and have to survive. Often, that means sex without condoms. Especially in the gay community, we have to say this is about all of us, not just some of us.... There are a lot of people who couldn't care less if black, gay men are dying. We are still dying of this disease, and some people are fine with that. The gay community should not be fine with that. I hope that there are other people who love us, who will come and be a part of the solution.''

In 2008, Public Opinion Strategies identified Walmart Moms as a key "swing voter" sub‐group.
As the 2010 election started to heat up, Walmart was curious as to whether moms shopping at their stores were still an "up‐for‐grabs" voting bloc, so Public Opinion Strategies and Momentum Analysis tracked this important sub‐group (roughly 14‐17% of the electorate) from May 2010 thru the election.
As the election came to a close, it was clear Walmart Moms – who were critical to Democratic success in 2008 — had once again proven to be a swing vote in the 2010 election.
In May 2010, the majority of these moms approved of the job President Obama was doing, they wanted more government intervention and they were evenly split in their partisan affiliation. At that time they were also split on their choice for Congress, just tilting very slightly towards voting Republican in November. However, as election season wore on, Walmart Moms eventually broke with their 2008 Democratic allegiances and pulled the lever for Republicans last year.
As the 2012 election cycle gets underway, Public Opinion Strategies and Momentum Analysis will once again track Walmart Moms and monitor their attitudes towards the President and Congress and the issues that matter most to these women.

The contenders are starting to separate themselves in the West, but the East is still a long way from over. Things should begin to clear up this weekend, where two SEC East matchups will essentially eliminate the losers from contention.
SEC Power Ratings
(Oct. 23)
1. LSU (Last week, 1) beat Auburn, 30-24
LSU is living on the edge, but managed to squeak out another close win. At this point, you'd have to say the loss to Kentucky did not hurt their chances in either the SEC or BCS races. Win out, and they're in. The biggest test remaining comes in two weeks at Alabama. Next week: Bye
2. Florida (2) beat Kentucky, 45-37
In a battle between two Heisman contenders, Tim Tebow came out on top, but Andre Woodson acquitted himself well. Both of these guys may end up in New York for the ceremony. The Gators are back in control in the East, but there's no room for a slip-up. Saturday is an elimination game for the loser. Next week: at Georgia (Jacksonville, FL)
3. Kentucky (4) lost to Florida 45-37
By beating LSU and giving Florida all it could handle, the Wildcats have shown they're for real. That's why I moved them up in spite of the loss. They'll get a couple of easy wins the next two weeks while hoping Florida and South Carolina drop one along the way. Next week: vs. Mississippi State
4. Auburn (6) lost to LSU, 30-24
Just like with Kentucky, the Tigers proved their mettle despite losing a close game to a top team, and get a boost up in the ratings. They're probably out of the SEC West race, but crazier things have happened. Next week: vs. Ole Miss
5. Alabama (8) beat Tennessee, 41-17
The outcome wasn't terribly surprising, but the utter domination sure was. Hard to believe this is the same team that lost to a mediocre Florida State team and barely squeaked by Ole Miss. Now, the Crimson Tide are positioned for a showdown with LSU for control of the SEC West. Next week: Bye
6. South Carolina (3) lost to Vanderbilt, 17-6
This one hurt. It not only was the first time Spurrier ever lost to Vanderbilt, but it knocked the Gamecocks from the SEC East lead and they now must beat the Vols or essentially be eliminated from contention. Next week: at Tennessee
7. Arkansas (9) beat Ole Miss, 44-8
Considering how closely the Rebels played Alabama and Florida, this was an impressive win for the Razorbacks. But with three league losses, it's probably too little, too late. Next week: vs. Florida International
8. Georgia (7) did not play
As usual, the loser of the Florida-Georgia game will have little chance to make it to Atlanta. As usual, the Bulldogs are prohibitive underdogs. Will the bye week make a difference? Maybe, if Tebow's sore shoulder turns out to be more than a minor injury. Next week: vs. Florida (Jacksonville, FL)
9. Tennessee (5) lost to Alabama, 41-17
The Vols lost to Bama, who lost to Georgia, who lost to the Vols. Go figure. This schizophrenic Tennessee squad needs to show up Saturday or their SEC East hopes are gone, and Fulmer's job is in jeopardy. Next week: vs. South Carolina
10. Vanderbilt (10) beat South Carolina, 17-6
I wish I could move them up after the big win, but there's no room further up the list. Still, you gotta love when a perennial last-place team rises to the occasion. Next week: vs. Miami (Ohio)
11. Mississippi State (11) lost to West Virginia, 38-13
They're playing out the string now, but the next opportunity for a win won't come until the finale against Ole Miss. Next week: at Kentucky
12: Ole Miss (12) lost to Arkansas, 44-8
The Rebels are pretty much in the same boat as their cross-state rivals. Not many chances left to pick up that first (and possibly only) SEC win. Next week: at Auburn

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Race weeks just ended in Charlotte, but we'll keep with the racing theme for just a little longer.
As local Joe Gibbs racing dirt bike guys, Justin Brayton and Josh Grant will compete in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross series this weekend. The Tennessee National will be held about three hours away from Charlotte in Blountville, Tennessee.
The guys are pretty pumped about competing near their home turf.
Brayton says, "A lot of friends and family will come, so it's always special to race close to home. There's always something about racing close to home that always fires you up a little bit."
"I'm pretty excited that it's this close to North Carolina where the dirt is pretty similar. Hopefully we can do some good for it," Grant said.
The Tennessee National starts Saturday.

Report: Britney Spears To Tie The Knot On Valentine's Day
Posted on Tue Jan 24, 2012 08:25 AM PDT
Britney Spears, who got engaged to Jason Trawick at the end of last year, will be walking down the aisle on Valentine's Day, according to various online reports.
The 30-year-old pop star and Trawick, 40, will reportedly say 'I do' in Maui.
In addition to becoming Jason's wifey, Brit may also be put back in charge of her own finances. For the past four years, Brit's dad Jamie, has been the conservator over her estate. The Sunday Express claims:
- "Jamie wants to go to court in early February so Britney will be a free woman in every sense when she marries."

"Boy Meets World" fans will get to meet the 13-year-old daughter of beloved characters Cory and Topanga in the new Disney Channel series "Girl Meets World."
Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel will reprise their roles as the couple who grew up and fell in love on the ABC show, which ended in 2000. The role of their daughter Riley hasn't been cast yet.
Apparently producers think that fans are feeling really nostalgic these days-quite a few stars are reprising the same roles that they played years ago.
"Dallas" fans were devastated when Larry Hagman passed away last week. The original "Dallas" series ended in 1991, but two decades later, Hagman returned to play beloved character J. R. Ewing on a TNT update. When he learned that he had cancer last year, the octogenarian had this to say: "As J.R. I could get away with anything - bribery, blackmail and adultery. But I got caught by cancer."
In honor of this sad news and the good news about Cory and Topanga reuniting in "Girl Meets World," here's a look at a few other stars reprising old roles:
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Returning to play a character after two decades is quite a feat, but Arnold is going to revisit an even older role. In 1982 he played a beefy adventurer in "Conan The Barbarian," which is the movie that helped launch the action star's career. Now Arnie will be reprising that role in the 2014 movie "The Legend of Conan," so it will be interesting to see what a womanizing, blood-spilling barbarian is like when he's gotten slower and softer.
Tyra Banks
This top model chose a rather odd role to revisit. She's going to play a living doll again in a "Life-Size" sequel. In the 2000 made-for-TV movie, Tyra Banks played a Barbie-like doll that came to life and helped a girl cope with the loss of her mother. Lindsay Lohan starred in the first "Life-Size," so it will definitely be interesting to see if she returns, too (at least nothing can be worse that her role in "Liz & Dick").
Eddie Murphy
Since there aren't enough cop comedies on TV, Eddie is bringing "Beverly Hills Cop" to the small screen. He'll be reprising his role as wisecracking cop Axel Foley in the pilot for the CBS series based on the 1984 movie, and he might have a recurring role on the show. The series will focus on the exploits of his son (Brandon T. Jackson), who has followed in the footsteps of his father by becoming a cop. Hopefully he's also inherited his dad's sense of humor.
Chevy Chase
If you can't wait to see a celeb reprise one of their old roles, all you have to do is quit fast-forwarding through commercials. In a holiday Old Navy ad, Chevy revisits his role as bumbling dad Clark Griswold to recreate the house-lighting scene from the 1989 movie "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." Beverly D'Angelo and Juliette Lewis also reprise their roles.
It's interesting that Chevy is okay with doing commercials after what he said about "Community," the NBC series that he recently quit. He said that sitcoms like "Community" are "the lowest form of television," obviously failing to remember that people really hate commercials.
So are you looking forward to seeing any of these stars reprise their old roles?

Network World - Cisco Tuesday took dead aim at HP and its own shrinking profit margins by introducing a major refresh to its venerable Catalyst 6500 Ethernet switching platform.
The company announced at Cisco Live in Las Vegas the Supervisor 2T engine for the 10-year-old Catalyst 6500, which delivers 2 Terabits of bandwidth to the system. This is almost three times the scale of the previous Supervisor 720, and like with that offering, 2T bandwidth can be doubled when configured into what Cisco calls a Virtual Switching System.
Cisco also announced a new generation of 10G line cards for the Sup 2T and didn't mince words when describing the system's purpose: to marginalize competitive offerings from Brocade, Juniper and most significantly HP, which has been gaining share on Cisco of late with lower cost platforms.
NINE LIVES: Catalyst 6500 has another decade or more left, Cisco hints
"We reject 'good enough' networks" which are marketed mostly on low price and drive commoditization, says John MCool, senior vice president and general management of Cisco's Core Technology Group. "Our market share has hovered around 70%, or 50% of intelligent ports. We've been able to maintain share, and grow our core share, by delivering value to our customers."
At $38,000, the Sup 2T is priced at one-third that of HP's A9508 switch yet is 3X the performance and supports 200+ features or services, claims Scott Gainey, Cisco director of marketing for Unified Access Solutions. Cisco says it also almost doubles the amount HP spends on R&D -- $5.3 billion vs. $3 billion – even though Cisco is half HP's size in terms of revenue.
HP, citing data from Dell'Oro Group, says it captured 12% of total worldwide Ethernet switching revenue market share in Q1, up 2.5 percentage points year-over- year. Cisco's share fell 5.8 points in the same period, HP claims.
But Cisco is also facing a troublesome switching product transition in which the high margin Catalyst 6500 is being squeezed by the lower margin, higher performing Nexus 7000 line. This is lowering switching profits for Cisco, which doesn't sit well with the company or Wall Street.
So the introduction of the Sup 2T may be a way for Cisco to maintain Catalyst margins in the face of the Nexus transition; or it may indicate that a large swath of the Catalyst 6500 base, especially in the enterprise campus, is resisting the migration to the Nexus.
McCool, however, says it's simply a case where the market is "bifurcating" into separate requirements for the enterprise campus vs. the data center.
"The market is bifurcating into a campus-based market needing deep services and the data center converging LAN and SAN," McCool says. "It takes different technology. We'd be silly to walk away from that installed base and loyal set of customers."
Cisco says it has 25,000 customers for the Catalyst 6500 and 700,000 chassis installed worldwide, representing 70 million gigabit ports, 2.1 million 10G ports and 1.2 million supervisor engines.
It has quite literally been a cash cow for Cisco since its introduction in 1999.

Any decent singer should cope with 8 Nancy performances per week. It is nowhere near as exposed vocally as Maria and there is plenty of off-stage time in the course of the show.
The emotional toil might be high - but vocally it shouldn't be a massive job - certainly for the older girls. The 17 year olds might find it more of a struggle.
More music theatre songs is a must for the show - it is the only way we will be able to judge things (and we, the viewers, do have to be able to judge things)
One thing that strikes me on thinking back about the first show and that is the use of backing singers - Rachel was the one given most 'support' from them. I am sure this was not a reflection on her voice - just the arrangement that was used for that number. However I didn't find it easy to pick out her voice in the mix - which means that I really don't know what I think about her yet.

But I do miss a vocal expert on the panel - whether it should have been Zoe Tyler or not, that's not for me to say - but I miss having the performances analysed technically.
Although Zoe Tyler never really analysed anything technically. She used phrases such as 'It was a little bit rubbish'....... Yes, very technical.
I won't be called a baggage!

Interior Design Students work in Designer Showroom
Interior Design Students Tricia Fischer and Lindsay Medford recently had a fabulous experience working with internationally known Joe Ruggiero at his showroom in High Point. You may recall Homes Across America in which Joe was the host. In addition, he was the Editor of Home Magazine for many years. Since then, he is now associated with Norwalk Furnishings and Sunbrella Fabrics. These students have followed in the footsteps of 4 students who have already had this experience. They go the week before the International Home Furnishing Market in High Point opens and assist in setting up the designer showroom where products are sold. The photos you see are the result of the work that our students assisted with. Mr. Ruggiero has supported this venture for almost two years and states below:
"Cindy (Cindy Parker),
Once again you sent us two wonderful students. Tricia and Lindsay were terrific and we greatly appreciate Cape Fear Community College's support.
Attached are some photos of the showroom to share.
Best Regards,
Barbara & Joe Ruggiero "
We are very pleased that our students are able to intern with a designer of Mr. Ruggiero's level and talent and success.

2006 Colorado Blvd, Los Angeles, CA | Directions 9004134.139055 -118.210966
Daily 11am-9pm
Neighborhoods: Eagle Rock, East LA
Wet burritos drenched in smoky red sauce. Salsas made from scratch. Crazy delicious carne asada fries and Mexican breakfast served all day.
Citysearch Editorial Review – Healthier than a taco truck, less "authentic" than an Eastside taqueria and a step above Baja Fresh. That sums up The Taco Spot. Located across the street from The Oinkster, this neighborhood order-at-the-counter joint features a well-rounded menu of ample vegetarian options, fat burritos, combo plates and breakfast served all day. Oh, and tacos. The space is comfortable enough, with Mayan pyramid murals (or is it Aztec?) and framed paintings punctuating the mustard walls, plus a few sidewalk tables outside. If a tofu spinach salad or grilled veggie burrito won't cut it for you, try the popular carne asada fries or a Tampiquena plate with grilled steak, a chicken taquito and cheese enchilada served with rice, beans, guac and sour cream. Not your average taco joint, you can also order ahi tuna tacos and burritos, or substitute soyrizo in your omelet. Daily specials are a nice bonus, along with a bar of salsas with varying heat levels, from refreshing avocado to straight-from-hell habanero.
Carne Asada Fries - unbelievable! – If you have never had carne asada fries then this is the place to have it. The carne asda melts in your mouth and it is extremely flavorful.
One of the few options in Eagle Rock – Denfinitely not anywhere near the best Mexican food. The portions are average or below average. The best par is their salsa bar because there are at least 5 choices, but the salsas are pretty mild. The carne asada burrito is not made of grilled meat, it tastes boiled, so I definitely don't recommend that.
OFF THE HOOK! – This is a great addition to the neighborhood. The prices are super cheap and the taste of the food is above average - definitely restaurant quality. I'm a working mom and I am constantly searching for places that are quick, affordable, healthy and tastes good. The Taco Spot fits the bill. My family of 4 can eat for under $25. Plus the staff is ultra friendly - what more can you ask for?
Fresh! – Mexican food in all shapes and forms is a staple in my diet. Unfortunately, I can't eat from the taco truck everyday because it doesn't agree with my tummy all the time. But now that there's a Taco Spot, I can enjoy the "true" Mexican food flavors without having to schedule a nearby toilet around my meal! :) The corn tortillas the enchiladas are wrapped in are popping with flavor, and filled with giant chunks of chicken. The sauces are flavorful without being salty, and the the salsa bar ingredients are fresh and include the pickled carrots, (that are available at most taco trucks). My boyfriend had the tacos and loved them just the same. The guacamole is also very rich in flavor. Great prices & friendly staff. I can't wait to try the rest of the menu!
one of the best burritos anywhere – Attention vegetarians: Get the bean and cheese burrito with black beans. Add rice inside. Then choose a side, maybe spicy fries or the vegetable soup if it's the special of the day. You won't be disappointed.
The menu is great, but I haven't tried that many things yet because the burritos are unavoidably delicious. The interior is austere but very clean, service quick and friendly. Portions are slightly small, but only compared with other places serving mega-sized items. Do you really need a burrito that must be lifted with both hands? I didn't think so.
great addition to the neighborhood – i love this place. the menu is pretty big, service is fast and food is good and fresh. i usually get the chicken or beef tacos. i've never had a bad meal here.
Eagle Rock spot delivers authentic on-the-go Mexican without the chain production. – A chrome counter, neon red clock and orange chairs scattered outdoors mimic the neighborhood's retro yet modern aesthetic. The menu features taco and enchilada standards, as well as specials like a fresh ahi burrito and spicy shrimp tacos. Vegetarians and health-conscious types can opt for a tofu burrito, grilled veggies or a chorizo-free soyrizo burrito for breakfast. Patrons can season anything to taste from the plentiful salsa bar; super spicy chiles en vinagre is not for the faint of heart.
Save Your Money – What a disappoinment. Being a native of LA, I figured a new taco place in Eagle Rock would, rock. Was I wrong! I got 2 carne asada tacos a la carte that hardly had anything in them. The shells were not fresh and tasted store bought. My boyfriend got the 2 taco plate; 1 beef and 1 chicken. He said he couldn't tell the difference between the two. He got maybe 2 tablespoons of less than average beans and 1 tablespoon of rice. For what you get on your plate you should look somewhere else. The only reason the Taco Spot got a 1 is because of the salsa bar. Save your money and buy Ortega products at your local grocery store.
TACO SPOT rocks! – I'm new to the area and I discovered TACO SPOT on my weekly drive to work... I have to say they totally rock! Great food, I think the Carne Asada Fries and the Carnitas Tacos are my faves... Definitely one to check out on Colorado Blvd... Clean restaurant and friendly staff too... =D

How can I change the regional settings from OEL ?
I have only: System -Administration - Date & Time.
But here I can change only Date, Time and Timezone. I can see any option for regional settings (number format for language/country).
Thank you
Perhaps what you are looking for is under System:Administration:Language. If this is not what you mean, please be more specific and also tell us your Linux distribution version.
I don't have Language option there.
I have OEL6.
If your system is connected to the internet and setup properly, the following should work:
$ su - root
# yum -y install system-config-language
Then you should have the control panel previously mentioned.
Btw, OEL is not the right nomenclature anymore. The product is called Oracle Linux or OL. The current version is 6.4.
# yum -y install system-config-language
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security
Setting up Install Process
No package system-config-language available.
Error: Nothing to do
when I run :
#yum list system-config*
I don't have it there..
I found the package in Google , I see now the Language.
Do you know the package to get the date format, number format? To see the number format for language/territory, for example US 1,0000000.00.
The package is available from Oracle Public YUM. I suggest you check your yum configuration. It is not a good idea to Google and download some package. Please check the information from the following link:
Regarding the number format, perhaps you can explain what you are doing or trying to accomplish. You might be pursuing the wrong solution.
I Windows - Control panel I have:
"Regional and language
Change the date, time, or number format
I need to have the same settings form linux.

Wendy's Chairman Gordon Teter Dies
Printer-friendly version
Read More About
Gordon Teter, chairman, president and chief executive of Wendy's International Inc., died December 18, 1999. The fast-food chain's founder and spokesman Dave Thomas is returning to supervise the company.
Thomas, who founded Wendy's in Columbus in 1969, will lead a five-person management council for the foreseeable future and actively supervise the company's management, the company said Sunday in a statement.
The death of Teter, 56, on Saturday night was the second of a high-ranking Wendy's official in 3 1/2 years. Chairman James Near died in 1996 of a heart attack at age 58.
An autopsy will be performed to determine the cause of Teter's death. But the company, based in the Columbus suburb of Dublin, said in a statement Sunday it apparently was of natural causes.
Thomas, who will have the title senior chairman, will supervise the management of the Company. Reporting to Thomas will be chief financial officer Frederick R. Reed, chief operating officer Jack Schuessler and Paul House, president and chief operating officer of Tim Hortons, the chain of doughnut and coffee shops that Wendy's acquired in 1995.
Teter came to Wendy's in September 1987 with more than 20 years of experience in the franchised restaurant industry. He became president and chief operating officer in 1991 and was promoted to chief executive in 1995, the year he helped the company buy the Canadian-based Tim Hortons chain. He became chairman in 1997.
"Gordon was a great friend and a tremendous leader," Thomas said in the statement. "He had a great business mind and a passion for people. He was one of the smartest men I knew, and he taught us all how to be better business people." Teter is survived by his daughter, Molly of Powell; former wife, Carol of Columbus; his mother, Bonnie, and a brother, Jim, both of Indianapolis.

So, Proposition 37 didn't pass. While some have taken the matter into their own hands by sticking homemade labels on boxes in supermarkets, I'm personally much more concerned about the big picture of genetically engineered crops.
Right now, there are 13 new GE crops ready for USDA approval. The first up is 2,4-D resistant corn (2,4-D is a heavy-duty herbicide, and actually one of the active ingredients in Agent Orange).
How can we possibly be looking to spray 2,4-D on our food? Was Vietnam so long ago that people have forgotten the horrifying effects of Agent Orange? Have we forgotten that veterans are still suffering because of that defoliant?
Those veterans who handled Agent Orange were told the chemical was safe. Farmers and consumers are being fed the same lie now while Dow Chemical and Monsanto Co. push these 2,4-D resistant crops onto the U.S. market.
I for one can't stand by and watch these chemicals hurt more people so that Dow and Monsanto can make a profit. That's why I'm taking part in the campaign to urge Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to reject these crops in order to protect farmers and consumers alike.

Apache Tomcat is a very popular web server and servlet container, with over 70% penetration in enterprise data centers today. Tomcat is featureful, agile, and well supported, and thus many webapps are developed for it today. While Tomcat has a great track record of having secure defaults, and having few security vulnerabilities, your webapp is a different codebase. How secure is your webapp written to be? How can the security of your webapp be improved? And, how secure is the combination of your webapp with your customized configuration Tomcat settings?
