Early years
Born and raised in a Hollis, Queens, New York housing project, attending Junior High School in Floral Park where he met his future wife Aisha Murray and they graduated in 1991. They attended Martin Van Buren High School together, but he did not graduate.
When Atkins was five years old, his sister died from respiratory problems. His parents were Jehovah's Witnesses. Growing up in a strict religious home, Atkin's family did not celebrate birthdays and Christmas, and as a child, was not allowed to listen to rap music. When he first heard it, he decided to be a rapper. He would sneak the music into his house and played it on his CD player when his mother wasn't around. Ja Rule said that he used to go to a school in Queens, but transferred to a private school in Manhattan because of bullying due to his small height. During his interview with Louis Farrakahn, he stated that he was the only black student at the school. Ja said that because of that the other kids didn't bother him.
At age 15, Atkins appeared with 0-1 and Chris Black as part of Cash Money Click, and this would lead to him being signed by TVT Records. He would end up being heard by a young DJ who called himself DJ Irv, then later Irv Gotti. Gotti was a friend of Jay-Z and he was also a DJ for Def Jam Recordings. During the mid 90's, his main priority was meeting Ja Rule and making him the center of his career, and wanted to sign Ja to his new label, Murder Inc. Records. He wanted Ja because of his distinct deep voice. After Irv was able to sign Ja along with DMX and Jay-Z to Def Jam. He, along with Russell Simmons, began to have an idea that they all would work together. They formed a group named Murder Inc.. They recorded many songs together and were featured on other albums when at least two members were on an album they were considered Murder Inc. After the launch of DMX's career, the group faded out of existence as they would only make one more appearance on a song together. Despite all of this exposure, Ja Rule was still relatively unknown as a rapper, so the people at Def Jam came with an idea to launch Ja Rule's career through the success of Jay-Z. Jay would appear on his album and Ja would return the favor as they briefly became associated acts. Through Ja Rule's collaborations with most of the Def Jam roster, he had made himself a household name and became one of the most popular rap acts as he would begin his long successful track as a rapper. He became known as a mainstream rapper when he was featured on Jay-Z's Can I Get A... alongside Amil. He quickly catapulted himself to the most popular rapper in the game and was considered as one of Def Jam Recordings' premier acts.
Music career
Venni Vetti Vecci (1999)
On June 1, 1999, Ja Rule released his debut album, Venni Vetti Vecci. The album marked not only Ja's debut, but the debut album from his label, Murder Inc. Records. Venni Vetti Vecci instantly launched Ja Rule's career as he became a staple on hip hop and pop networks like MTV, VH1, and BET. The album featured "Holla Holla" along with "Its Murda" with Jay-Z and DMX. The final single was "Daddy's Little Baby," a duet with Ronald Isley. These three singles and the production coming from Irv Gotti along with performances from Memphis Bleek, Erick Sermon, Case, Black Child, Nemisis, and Caddillac Tah, then known as Tah Murdah, along with a notable performance from his mentor, Jay-Z led to the album going platinum.
Rule 3:36 (2000)
Ja Rule would return during the summer of 2000, with his new single "Between Me and You," which featured Def Soul act Christina Milian. The single was quickly followed by Ja's second effort, Rule 3:36, which was released on October 10, 2000. 3:36 also featured singles "Put It On Me," and "I Cry." The album featured guest appearances from Lil Mo, Vita, Christina Milian, label mates Jayo Felony, and Black Child. The album was ridiculed by critics for its commercial sound, which completely abandoned the dark street sound of his debut. Despite this, the album fared well on the charts and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Charts. The album would be a huge success going 3x Platinum. The release of this album marked a huge turn in Ja Rule's style of music from a more hardcore edge to a pop crossover oriented sound.
Pain Is Love (2001)
Soon after the release of Rule 3:36, Irv Gotti would sign R&B singer Ashanti to the label, which led to Lil Mo ending her collaborations with the label. During the late summer of 2001, Ja Rule released the lead single from his third studio album, Pain Is Love, which was "Livin' It Up." The second single was the "I'm Real (remix)," and the third was "Always On Time," and the last was "Down Ass Bitch." This album is noted for two things the first is introducing a young Ashanti to the music business and the second is bringing Charli Baltimore back to the music business. Pain Is Love featured guest appearances from Case, The Murder Inc. Family, Missy Elliott, Jodie Mack, Tweet, Jennifer Lopez and a recording from the late Tupac Shakur. Along with its critical success it was also a commercial success it, like its predecessor went 3x Platinum.
The Last Temptation (2002)
Ja Rule would shave his head during the promotion of his fourth studio album, The Last Temptation. His fourth album was released on November 19, 2002. Although the album was fairly successful, certified platinum, it failed to carry the momentum brought by his previous album, criticized for being too commercial. Despite the heavy criticism, it would still be fairly popular and is noted for bringing Bobby Brown back to the music scene. The album features guest appearances from new signees, Young Life, Alexi, Chink Santana, Eastwood, Crooked I, and Nas, who almost signed to the label during that period. Appearances also come from long time-Inc. artists Charli Baltimore, Ashanti, Caddillac Tah, and Bobby Brown. Other guests were Pharrell, and the late Tupac Shakur. The album is noted for one song "Pop Niggaz" with Pharrell, the song is an indirect diss to DMX. Ja's popularity was on the rise during the summer of 2002, featured on Fat Joe's "What's Luv?," and Mary J. Blige's "Rainy Dayz" aside from his own singles.
Blood In My Eye (2003)
Blood In My Eye is the fifth album from Ja Rule. The content of this album led to a dramatic fall in his popularity. This album is also noted as the last Ja Rule album released by The Inc. Records under the moniker Murder Inc. This was partially due to Ja's disses and death threats to adversaries, 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes (a former associate), Eminem, Dr. Dre, DMX, and G-Unit. The album was originally planned to be a mixtape, but former label Def Jam Recordings forced him to release an album in 2003 to honor the contract, where he released an album every year. Blood In My Eye peaked at #6, but only managed to go gold, his lowest selling to date. On this album, Ja sparked rivalries with many artists on the Interscope Records roster.
Ja Rule returned to form on his sixth studio album, R.U.L.E. released on November 9, 2004. This album would serve as a comeback of sorts for Ja as he saw a return to mainstream success. The lead single was "Wonderful" which was followed by the street anthem, "New York," the third and last single was "Caught Up." All three of these singles were major hits in the US. The album featured guest appearances from Ashanti, Lloyd, Trick Daddy, R. Kelly, Fat Joe, Jadakiss, Claudette Ortiz, Black Child, Caddillac Tah and many more. R.U.L.E. is considered one of the best albums of 2004 and the best album of Ja Rule's career and many fans and critics alike call this album a classic. The album was certified Platinum in the United States in 2006, and it is the fifth of his six released albums to go platinum.
Exodus (2005)
On December 6, 2005, Ja Rule released his seventh album, which is nothing more than a greatest hits album. It features only one new song "Exodus (Intro)" which is co-produced by Irv Gotti and Dr. Dre. It features all of the hit singles throughout his career. The album was released to honor the contract with Def Jam so that The Inc. could get a fresh start with a new distributor. Despite the album being nothing special it went platinum in early 2006. It featured the hits "New York," "Wonderful," "Between Me And You," "Put It On Me," and many more. Appearances came from Jay-Z, DMX, Irv Gotti, Lloyd, Ashanti, Lil Mo, Christina Milian and Bobby Brown. After the release of this compilation, Ja Rule took a hiatus from recording music.
Departure from Def Jam (2005-2006)
In 2005, The Inc. Records would come under investigation because of the drug trades by Kenneth "Supreme" Mc Griff, who is associated with Irv Gotti. This would all lead to Def Jam Recordings refusing to renew The Inc.'s contract. They were willing to let go of the label, despite the fact that they were giving up Ja Rule, who had been the label's flagship since 2000 even if he wasn't recording music he was keeping the label in the news. From 2004 to 2006, Irv would search for other labels, and reached a deal with Universal Records.
The Mirror (2008)
Template:Unreferencedsection In March, 2008, Ja Rule plans to release his Universal Records debut and eighth studio album, The Mirror. The first single, "Uh Oh" was released on July 31, 2007 and premiered on music video shows the following day. This second single, "Body" was released in September. The album contains a collaboration with former G-Unit artist, The Game, whom he had once had a lyrical altercation with. They will appear on the track "Sunset." The album was originally supposed to be titled Love Is Pain as a sequel to his album Pain Is Love. Aside from Ashley Joi, The Game, and Lil Wayne, there will be no guest appearances on this album and will mark the last time that he ever mentions 50 Cent, DMX, or Common. The reasoning towards the title of the album is that it is " the only place where you can't lie to yourself." There have been rumors of a dispute between Irv Gotti and Ja over the release of this album because of it being pushed back from the November date to March 2008. They have said Irv pushed it back due to a lack of airplay of its singles, while Ja thought it was ready. Also their on-screen argument over the release of "Enemy of the State" as a single, Ja wants it out now while Gotti wants to wait until the release date is final.
Personal life
Criminal charges
During the summer of 2007, Ja Rule was arrested for gun and drug possession charges along with Lil Wayne. During 2003, Ja Rule was arrested for assaulting a person taunting him about the 50 Cent feud outside of a nightclub in Toronto, Canada. He would end up suing Ja Rule, but they settled out of court. In 1999, he along with the rest of Murder Inc. were brought up on charges for assaulting 50 Cent, which led to a restraining order against them for 50. Also in 2003, he punched a man in Toronto for shouting at him in a crowd because of the 50 Cent feud.[1] In 2004, police investigated whether a feud involving The Inc. led to fatal shooting outside a nightclub party hosted by Ja Rule.[2][3] In July 2007, Ja Rule was arrested for gun possession.
Romantic life
Ja Rule met his future wife, Aisha while attending middle school and they would get married soon as they turned eighteen. Despite this, Ja has been romantically linked to other famous female celebrities. There were rumors that Jennifer Lopez had began dating Ja Rule after their collaboration on "I'm Real," which was not long after she had split with Sean Combs. He has even admitted that he has cheated on her before like in the song "Caught Up" and also "I Cry." Many thought that he had begun dating Lil Mo while they were collaborating by looking at how close they would get in their videos. All of these rumors proved to be false as he is married to his wife and they live together in New Jersey with their three children.
Reported prejudice against homosexuality
In the September 2007 issue of Complex magazine, Ja Rule was mistakenly reported to have expressed that homosexuals are to be blamed for the problems and destruction in the United States, and was disgusted at MTV's promotion of LGBT television shows. He also spoke out about how hip hop is being blamed for more issues than homosexuality, and perpetuated the belief that gays are evil and corrupting music and television.
|"And if it is, then we need to go step to Paramount, and fucking MGM, and all of these other motherfuckers that's making all of these movies and we need to go step to MTV and Viacom, and lets talk about all these fucking shows that they have on MTV that is promoting homosexuality, that my kids can't watch this shit," he continued. "Dating shows that's showing two guys or two girls in mid-afternoon. Let's talk about shit like that! If that's not fucking up America, I don't know what is."[4]
His comments prompted a strong rebuke from GLAAD, who issued a public statement stating, "No fair-minded person can look at Ja Rule's interview with Complex Magazine and believe for one second that his children could be more harmed by what they might see on television than by the vulgarity and prejudice that comes out of their father's mouth. Now that media have seen Ja Rule's intolerance unmasked by his own words, they have a responsibility not to provide in the future a platform for his ugly, vulgar displays of prejudice."[5]
It was later revealed that GLAAD had been mistaken and that he was actually mis-quoted in an interview with online MySpace interview channel The Hook Up on 24 October, 2007.[6] He went on in a January 2008 issue of XXL Magazine to state his words were taken out of context. He is quote as stating:
|"What I was saying in that article is everyone has that same responsibility. They're absolutely right: Rappers have a responsibility to the kids. But don't just pin it on the hip-hop. If I gotta curb my lyrics or censor what I say, no problem. But if you gonna show sexual images during the daytime for children, that should be censored as well ... And I'm not just talking about homosexuality. I'm talking about any sexuality. If it's too sexy for kids, its too sexy for kids ..."[7]
Hip Hop entrepreneur
Aside from being president of The Inc. Records, Ja Rule is the owner and founder of Rule Global Media. This consists of Mpire Records, ErvingGeoffrey, and Stars On Poker.net.
The Inc. Records
Ja Rule co-founded Murder Inc. Records along with Irv Gotti in 1997. When it was formed, because of it being a vanity label, Def Jam owned a 50% stake in the label.
In 2002, Irv Gotti granted Ja Rule 50% of his share of the label due to his recent success on the charts. The next year, Ja Rule was named label president while Irv is the primary owner and the label CEO.
Mpire Records

There are a lot of people who want to do something and progress forward in their careers but the fact that there are limitations for them, one way or the other, hinders their further studies. You might be interested in doing IELTS which is taken as a necessity for the individuals look to go abroad and do something for their countries. If you are to study in any English state, chances are that you are required to show your proficiency with English language as a foreign student. So, a lot of people look to do IELTS and if you are also interested in it, here are some benefits of IELTS online preparation.
IELTS Online Preparation
Comfortable learning environment
The online students have a more comfortable learning environment than the ones that go to regular classes. It is because you don't have to dress like a student and you are not required to go to a physical classroom to take the classes. All you need to do is to sit down on the couch and start listening to the online lectures given by qualified instructors. What better? Take a register and a pencil and start noting down the key points. Complete the assignments while you are sitting at your home and send them to the instructors over the Internet for evaluation. You won't be required to leave early from work neither you will be asked to skip important friends and family time with online lectures (until there is something live even for which usually you will get the recordings later). so this is good benefits of IELTS online preparation
Another benefits of IELTS online preparation | Convenient and flexible
The online learning environment is both convenient and flexible. In classes, it is generally about teacher going at a pace and all the students have to catch up on it. However, with online learning, you will have the lectures in your hand. Watch them in slow mo or repeat a single lecture two three times before jumping onto the next one, it is all up to you. The course material is accessible and certain online institutes may give you an access to libraries which hold relevant books and documents. So, you have a chance to access them anytime you want and from anywhere you like, making your life easier and helping you to maintain the right work life balance.
Benefits of IELTS online preparation | Greater ability to concentrate
When you are studying online it is likely that you will be alone. There are instances when students are shy and they find it hard to concentrate on the studies. These are the people who won't be able to participate in class discussions and they would never ask a question from a teacher in front of the whole class. When learning online, these students know that they are on their own and things that they will ask will be between teacher and student and even if it is out there on a public forum they still won't physically be there which encourages them to be a part of active learning and participate in discussions.
A great option for professionals
There are people who are working currently at full time positions and when they are asked to take certain classes it becomes hard for them to manage. For instance, working for 8 to 9 hours a day and then coming back home only to go to the institute and take classes for an hour or two becomes hectic. It is likely that you won't be able to maintain the right balance and there are instances when you will have to stay late at work or might have a family time coming up. So, regular classrooms won't wait for you and there are no lecture repeats. But with online classes, you can take lectures any time you want. Even if you skip today's class, you have a chance to come up tomorrow and take both lectures, making up for the missed one too.
Final words
So, these are certain benefits of IELTS online preparation. The world is progressing at a very fast rate and you need to keep moving forward with it and equip yourself with as much knowledge as possible. E-learning is making it easy for people to take the classes that they want anytime and anywhere, not just the IELTS but also masters and bachelors degrees as well as other courses, making it convenient for them to study and progress forward in their careers.

Mobile technology continues to make it easier for travellers to manage their own travel while in-transit and the majority of global business travellers are embracing this trend, according to a new study released today from the GBTA Foundation in partnership with Sabre.
More than 7 in 10 business travellers in the United States (78%), Italy (77%), Canada (74 %) and Spain (73%) prefer using self-service technology to manage their travel, while the rate is slightly lower for the Nordic countries (60%) and Germany (56%).
In North America and Europe, the vast majority of business travellers also want to receive personalized travel options. However, they are hesitant to share too much personal information to obtain them.
They are commonly willing to share details such as their frequent flyer or hotel loyalty number, preferred airline and hotel brands and aircraft seat preferences, but fewer than half would share their travel history, preferred leisure activities while travelling, their business calendar with booked appointments and their social media account names.
"Technological innovation has given business travellers greater control of their own travel, but that doesn't need to mean trouble for a managed travel program," said Michael W. McCormick, GBTA Executive Director and COO.
"Travel buyers can recommend apps for their travellers to help drive compliance and can also take advantage of technology to track and more easily assist their travellers in case of an emergency, helping fulfill their duty of care requirements," McCormick added.
"This report demonstrates how corporate travellers look to technology to make travel a more seamless experience. But it also reflects a crowded and fragmented technology landscape where travellers have to use multiple apps and services to manage their trip," said Clinton Anderson, senior vice president, strategy and traveler experience for Sabre Corporation.
"We see an opportunity to integrate critical technologies into a single platform to help business travellers throughout their entire trip. This will dramatically increase traveller satisfaction while improving program compliance and reducing costs for corporations."
Road Warriors & Travel Apps
Business travellers use a variety of travel-related mobile apps during their trips, but in all countries surveyed, supplier apps are more commonly used than travel management company (TMC), itinerary management and expense management apps.
The most common uses for travel-related mobile apps by North American business travellers include flight check-in/status, generating an online boarding pass and booking hotels and flights. Most companies don't require or recommend travel apps as only one-fifth or fewer say their organization has specific apps they require for business travel and about half in each country say their organization does not recommend any travel apps.
Mobile Payment & Millennials
Given the opportunity, many business travellers would likely use mobile payment or e-wallet technology. The share likely to do so ranges from 43% in the Nordic countries all the way up to 75% in Italy. Millennials and Gen-X travellers are much more likely than Baby Boomers to want to use mobile payments.
Technology & Duty of Care
Mobile apps commonly developed by TMCs or third-party safety or security firms can assist with duty of care by allowing travellers to check-in with their company upon arrival at a destination or by allowing companies to track their employees' location and send push notifications in an emergency among other features.
Only a small share of travellers use these apps. Still, despite low use, 63% said they would allow their company to track their location via their mobile device for duty of care purposes.

Muted markets raise questions about China's economic recovery
[SHANGHAI] Investors were relieved this week when China's first-quarter economic data defied expectations for a further cooling in growth. Yet the subdued reaction in stock markets, especially in China, has called into question the durability of any recovery.
For Chinese equities, which have rallied hard this year, the good news was also likely in the price already. Many traders were looking past the data showing the world's second-biggest economy grew at a faster-than-expected 6.4 per cent pace.
While industrial production also grew at its quickest pace since 2014 in the first quarter, the shaky outlook for earnings underlined the broad pressure on China's economy, including from the still-unresolved Sino-US tariff war as well as slackening global trade and growth.
China's blue-chip CSI300 index closed flat on Wednesday, and lost 0.4 per cent on Thursday.
"The market has already priced in economic improvement. The market is always ahead," said Wu Kan, head of equity trading at Shanghai-based Shanshan Finance.

After a battering in 2018, China's stock indexes have been on a bull run. The blue-chip CSI300 index has risen more than a third this year, making it the world's best-performing major index as policy support helped to whet investors' appetite for equities.
Signs of gradual progress in trade negotiations with the United States have also burnished investors' optimism.
It's not just China's broad indexes that have benefitted from the enthusiasm. Underscoring rising risk appetite, star fund manager Fu Pengbo from Foresight Fund Management Co last month had to cut short the marketing period on a 5.87 billion yuan (S$1.19 billion) equity fund after it was 12 times oversubscribed.
The fund, which started raising money on March 21, attracted subscriptions exceeding 70 billion yuan, forcing Foresight to stop accepting fresh orders at the end of the first day of sales.
International markets have also benefitted from signs of stabilisation in China - and unlike China's indexes, some foreign benchmarks initially pushed higher after Beijing released first-quarter economic data. Weakness in US healthcare shares, concerns over economic performance in Europe and doubts about the sustainability of China's tentative recovery subsequently ate away at global gains.
The rapid rise in Chinese share prices this year has also raised questions about how much further the rally has to go, highlighting the market's dependence on policy support.
Mizuho Bank analysts said that "excessive market exuberance", particularly in the property sector, could push Beijing to shift to a stance of "neutral tightness" in the second half the year, which could impact equity prices.
The less rosy near-term prospects for corporate earnings may also weigh on valuations.
Hubert de Barochez, an analyst at Capital Economics, said in a client note that he expects Chinese equity prices to drop in the coming months, as corporate earnings tend to be more in line with export data than the domestic economy.
Exports showed a rebound in March following a sharp drop late last year, but weak global growth is seen as limiting a continued strong recovery.
A rise in estimated earnings per share in China this year suggests that investors are optimistic about trade and the likelihood of a US-China deal, Mr de Barochez said. But he argued that a deal would be "unlikely to drive a turnaround in trade in our view, given the gloomy outlook for the global economy".
While uncertainty remains over whether China's economy has truly turned around, with analysts expecting economic growth to slow to a near 30-year low of 6.2 per cent this year, further policy support to foster a more sure-footed recovery may be a boon for markets.
Beijing has already begun adding fiscal stimulus policies to its toolkit this year, hoping that billions of dollars in additional tax cuts and infrastructure spending will help to stabilise the economy alongside more bank lending.
"Unlike some developed markets, the Chinese policymakers still have bullets, they could use monetary policy and fiscal policy" to support growth, said George Sun, head of global markets, Greater China at BNP Paribas.
China's economy appears to be "in a relatively benign environment, certainly much better than people expected six months ago," Mr Sun said, noting that gains in Chinese indexes have not been accompanied by worrying rises in implicit leverage, as in the speculative-driven stock bubble of 2015.
"Stocks have risen a lot this year, said Louis So, co-chief investment officer at Value Partners Group.
"But there's no need to worry, because it's just recouping last year's losses, and we think there's still room to rise."
So said it would typically take three to six months for government stimulus to feed into the economy, adding that Chinese stocks will also benefit from relatively loose US monetary policy.
"We feel US interest rates will remain at a relatively low level over the next one or two years," he said.

Departmental Papers (BE)
Document Type
Journal Article
Date of this Version
January 2005
We introduce a new approach to synthesizing Class AB log-domain filters that satisfy dynamic differential-mode and common-mode constraints simultaneously. Whereas the dynamic differential-mode constraint imposes the desired filtering behavior, the dynamic common-mode constraint solves the zero-dc-gain problem, a shortcoming of previous approaches. Also, we introduce a novel push–pull circuit that serves as a current-splitter; it rectifies a differential signal into the ON and OFF paths in our log-domain filter. As an example, we synthesize a first-order low-pass filter, and, to demonstrate the rejection of dc signals, we implement an adaptive filter by placing this low-pass circuit in a variable-gain negative-feedback path. Feedback gain is controlled by signal energy, which is extracted simply by summing complementary ON and OFF signals—dc signals do not contribute to the signal energy nor are they amplified by the feedback. We implement this adaptive filter design in a silicon chip that draws biological inspiration from visual processing in the mammalian retina. It may also be useful in other applications that require dynamic time-constant adaptation.

EU reaffirms commitment to migration deal with Turkey….reports Asian Lite News
The European Union has reaffirmed its commitment to an EU-Turkey deal to stem the influx of illegal migrants to the bloc.
Leaders of the 28-nation bloc gathered here on Thursday for the last summit of this year, which focused on issues such as migration, security, economy and external relations, Xinhua news agency reported.
The European Council issued conclusions on migration, underlining the importance of a "full and non-discriminatory implementation of all aspects" of the deal.
The council also endorsed the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan and the implementation of the EU-Turkey statement elaborated between Greece and the European Commission.
As Greece had already taken the first step towards implementing the plan, the council called upon all EU member states to follow suit.
The EU-Turkey deal to curb the refugee influx into Europe came into force in March.
Under the agreement, Turkey agreed to take back all undocumented migrants who had arrived in Europe in exchange for Europe resettling Syrian refugees in Turkey on a one-for-one basis.
The EU also promised to accelerate EU membership talks with Turkey.
Turkey has moved to significantly reduce the illegal flow of migrants under the deal.
According to the European Commission, the influx of illegal migrants to the EU has dropped to 100 per day on average from 10,000 per day at the height of the migration crisis in October last year.
However, the deal came into question after the European Parliament in view of Turkey's "disproportionate repressive measures" in response to July's failed military coup.
In the wake of the vote, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened he could tear up the migration deal and open the border gates "if the EU goes too far".
Turkey applied to join the EU in 1987 and started accession talks in 2005, but the talks have faltered in recent years due to disagreements over issues such as refugees, freedom of the press and human rights.

The Dream Act will soon be reintroduced in the Senate, though no date has been set for when it will brought to the floor. Assistant Senate Majority Leader Dick Durbin of Illinois and other prominent Senate Democrats announced their plans this morning to bring back the long-lived immigration bill, which passed the House last December but failed in the Senate.
The proposed legislation, versions of which have been circulating for a decade, would grant conditional legal status to certain undocumented young people who were brought to this country as minors, so long as they attend college or enlist in the military.
"These young people were brought to the United States as children," Durbin said. "They grew up in this country…they can be our future doctors, soldiers, journalists, and even United States senators."
It's still unclear how this version of the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act will differ from previous versions. According to Durbin's office, the basic requirements for eligibility are similar to those in the bill last voted on. Applicants will need to:
- Have come to the U.S. as children (15 or under)
- Be long-term U.S. residents (continuous physical presence for at least five years)
- Have "good moral character"
- Have graduated from high school or obtained a GED
- Have completed two years of college or military service in good standing
Late last year, the bill was retooled to tighten several provisions, including a lowered age cutoff for applicants.
Durbin will be the lead sponsor of the bill, as he has been for previous versions. He was joined in the press conference by Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, who touted potential economic and national security benefits. Reid and others stressed the military aspect of the bill, which has been embraced by Department of Defense leaders as a recruiting tool. Even among some supporters, it remains a controversial provision.
A national student movement surged last year before the last Dream Act vote. It has continued to grow as undocumented students and graduates have taken to "coming out" with their immigration status as a political act, something that began as a strategy for putting names and faces to those who would be affected.
This morning's press conference was broadcast online via live video feed. The reaction on Twitter from young proponents who watched it was upbeat, but tempered with skepticism.
One person tweeted:
reporter asked about how #dreamactivists are feeling...after 10 years of fighting for #dreamact its hard to have #hope
Another replied:
It's been around for 10 years for a reason. Hope is the last thing we should lose. Justice will be done. #DREAMAct

Papers revel in Archer verdict
Lord Archer's spectacular fall from grace makes headline news in Friday's newspapers, with every one agreeing he got what he deserved.
"Pay us £2.2m" demands the Daily Star, which lost the 1987 libel trial at which Lord Archer lied, eventually leading to his conviction on Thursday for perjury and perverting the course of justice.
It warns that he has 14 days to repay the £500,000 damages it was forced to give him, plus hundreds of thousands of pounds of compensation it now wants.
Quoting the title of one of the millionaire's own novels, the paper says it wants "not a penny more not a penny less" and threatens to take him back to the High Court if he doesn't pay up.
The Guardian sums up his conviction with the headline 'A liar's moment of truth'.
Describing when the jury delivered its verdict, journalist Simon Hoggart said Archer did not flinch as the word guilty was spoken.
But he "jerked as if he had been shot and his lip pushed forward in what looked like unbelievable anger" when his co-accused Ted Francis was cleared, he said.
A woman's scorn
The Guardian said "three angry women" had sealed Archer's fate.
Those were former secretary Angela Peppiatt and former mistress Andrina Colquhoun, who both gave damning evidence in court.
Also prostitute Monica Coghlan, who was at the centre of the libel trial against The Star and had her reputation ruined by Archer.
Humiliated wife
But The Times said one woman is expected to stand by him - his long-suffering wife Mary.
Valerie Grove writes in the paper that Lady Archer knew what she was getting into when she married her husband.
She says she will be a great comfort to Archer, claiming he will be thinking "life behind bars might be disagreeable, but life without Mary would be impossible".
The Daily Telegraph says the verdict was "another humiliation for the wife used to coping with 'Jeffrey's little bombshells'".
It says that the trial judge, Mr Justice Potts, seemed unmoved by Lady Archer's "fragrance" and was more interested in questioning her evidence.
The Express says Lady Archer is facing a possible police investigation over her evidence in the wake of the judge's comments.
Strip search
Reflecting on what Archer's time in prison might be like, The Sun says he will be entering "hell" and reminds him not to forget to write.
In an interview in the paper, disgraced ex-Cabinet minister Jonathan Aitken says Archer would have been "led in handcuffs past barking dogs and shouting warders" and strip searched at Belmarsh Prison in south-east London, where he was held last night.
The Times says Archer will be allowed five £2 phone cards to call his family and a special two-hour visit within the next few days, after that visits will be weekly.
If Lady Archer does see her husband they will be allowed physical contact, it adds.
The Mirror says Archer will rub shoulders with some of Britain's most dangerous murderers in Belmarsh, including Jill Dando's killer Barry George.
Not mincing its words, the paper calls him a nasty, cruel, vindictive, lying, cheating crook in its leader comment. It says the adulation he has received over the years is "sickening".
The man who exposed Archer's lies could not stop smiling at the verdict, according to The Express.
Ted Francis looked relieved at being cleared of perverting the course of justice but "after bottling up his resentment for 10 years he could not contain his delight" it said.

Hiking In The Valley – What You Need To Know!
Arizona weather is a huge draw to locals and visitors to hike the many beautiful trails the valley has to offer. Authorities are concerned about inexperienced hikers who are unfamiliar with the territory and over estimate their hiking ability and lack of preparation. Don't let the comfortable temperature of mid 70ies fool you. Firefighters sill get a lot of calls for heat related complications this time of the year. You should not hike when you are not adequately rested, hydrated properly and have the appropriate clothing.
Here are some helpful tips to stay safe while hiking:
- Avoid hiking alone in secluded areas where there is no cellular reception. It's always best to have a hiking buddy. If you decided to go on your own, be sure to tell someone when and where you are going.
- Start hydrating long before you go on the hike and ALWAYS bring water.
- Make sure your phone is charged
- Wear appropriate clothing, preferably with UV protections and durable hiking shoes.
- Sun protection is imperative! Bring a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen.
- Be familiar with the trails and take a photo of the trail map before you head out.

Basement Jaxx vs Orbital in RockNess battle of the lightshows
Dazzling close to the Saturday night
Basement Jaxx
- Photographer:Justin Madgwick
Steve Jenner - 14 June 2009
The crowd appeared to have grown five-fold on day two of RockNess festival, on the shores of Scotland's Loch Ness. Friday's holiday feel had evolved into full-on large festival going off as the 30,000 party-goers swarmed like hedonistic ants from stage to stage.
The unexpected clear weather was briefly interrupted around 7pm by a sudden heavy downpour which failed to dampen spirits, merely driving some undercover to rave on in the tents and those who remained outside to dance even harder. Less than an hour later, the skies were again clear and remained so for the duration of the evening.
Main stage headliners Basement Jaxx arrived to the biggest crowd so far at 10.15pm, blasting off with 'Good Luck' (delivered by singers in silver Wedding dresses). The dazzling, hyper-energetic and polished set included effortlessly delivered crowd-pleasers 'Red Alert', 'Bingo Bango', 'Where's Your Head At' as well as new track 'Raindrops'. The show was high cabaret with a constant rotation of different singers, rappers and costumes that ranged from tracksuits to animal outfits.
The late sunset in this part of Scotland (it gets fully dark around midnight) may have diluted the immediate impact of the lightshow, but it allowed it to build up gradually throughout the hour and a half set until the whole site was finally illuminated in a powerful blitz of rapid-fire diamond-white flashes for the set's close.
Meanwhile, Orbital exploited the sky-shielded confines of the Clash Tent, showing off their own blistering laser show to full, spectacular effect. A definite highlight of this year's festival, the dance legends brought the packed-out house down with old skool favourites like 'Sun Rising' and 'Chime'. The set was more than worthy of an outdoor headlining slot.
Earlier in the day, Alabama 3, seemingly in posession of a new demon after all these years, almost brought the roof down in the Fat Sam's tent with a euphoric, highly charged set that had everyone on their feet for classics like 'I'm Johnny Cash', 'Mao Tse Tung Said', the one that pays their pensions (Sopranos theme 'Woke Up This Morning') and glorious set closer 'Let's Go Back To Church'. They were followed by a disappointingly lacklustre Super Furry Animals who failed to keep the crowd aroused with a festival-unfriendly set that mostly featured new, unfamiliar material.
Revellers on the main stage were kept dancing to a relentless powerhouse of dynamic sets from the likes of Just Jack, French superstar DJ David Guetta and a typically buoyant Dizzee Rascal, whose encore of 'Bonkers' incited scenes of fluorescent delerium.
Today (Sunday) sees The Prodigy headlining a more rock-heavy day of action featuring Wombats, Placebo and local gods Biffy Clyro. Stay posted for our low-down of the ho-down as well as our backstage interviews with Alabama 3 frontman Larry Love and RockNess festival boss Jim King...

A loss of faith at the Minnesota State Fair?
Less than a decade ago, Catholic diners and Theology on a Stick fed hungry fairgoers—in body and soul. Why they left, and the challenges facing a Catholic return to the Great Minnesota Get—Together
Ordained at 26, Father John Paul Erickson was still shy of 30 when he took a stage at the Minnesota State Fair just yards from the main gate to take questions on Catholicism.
He can still imagine what fairgoers in 2008 and 2009 thought when they saw priests in their 20s or 30s speak at Theology on a Stick, an event at the St. Bernard Bulldog Lodge.
"'Gosh, you know what, here's a couple of young whippersnapper priests. I didn't know that they made them that young,'" quipped Father Erickson, now the pastor of Blessed Sacrament in St. Paul and director of worship for the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis.
He and fellow priests fielded random questions about the Catholic faith at the evening gatherings, while other Catholic experts spoke on topics ranging from love and atheism to movies and conversion. Run by the Cathedral Young Adults of the Cathedral of St. Paul in St. Paul, the event drew steady attendance as people digested the Q&A sessions, talks and music in 20-minute chunks.
"Many people passing through the State Fair, perhaps former Catholics [and] non-Christians, were able to hear the faith presented in a way which was understandable, approachable and attractive," said Father Erickson, who served as parochial vicar at the Cathedral of St. Paul 2006-2008 and worked with CYA. "It alerted them to the fact that the Church is not just a sanctuary for the retired. In fact, it is a living thing."
Theology on a Stick ran three evenings in 2008 and five evenings in 2009. CYA volunteers helped with hospitality and offered fans to heat-weary fairgoers.
"Just having the presence of the religious and the clergy there, I think, itself was a great witness," said Jeremy Baer, a parishioner of All Saints in Minneapolis who served as the event's chairman in 2009.
Cathedral Young Adults launched the event in 2008 as a State Fair version of the ministry's Theology on Tap series that was then bouncing around bars in St. Paul. For years, more than 100 young adults have been regularly attending Theology on Tap, now held at O'Gara's Bar and Grill on Snelling Avenue.
Theology on Tap's popularity and the growing interest in Theology on a Stick made a third year look promising in 2010.
"We were kind of on the cusp of really getting something going in terms of enthusiasm at the State Fair and even on the fundraising side," Baer said.
But then it lost its venue. After a 50-year run, the St. Bernard Bulldog Lodge went up for sale following the 2010 closure of St. Bernard School in St. Paul, which ran the lodge. The next year saw the loss of the other Catholic mainstay, the Epiphany Diner. That closure marked the end of an era for a major Catholic presence at the Great Minnesota Get-Together, which has drawn an average of 1.7 million people per year.
Ten years later, the absence has some Catholics wondering: What would it take to get it back?
Essential manpower
Sustaining volunteers was a main obstacle for keeping the St. Bernard Bulldog Lodge open. With a closing school and a small parish, Father Mike Anderson, St. Bernard's pastor at the time, decided with the parish council to close the Lodge.
St. Bernard's final principal and longtime Lodge volunteer, Jennifer Cassidy, said it was a difficult closure.
"We certainly tried everything to keep it open," Cassidy said of the lodge. "The fair also has direct oversight so we were limited on what we could change or try to do differently."
The parish closed its elementary school in 2009 and high school in 2010. Michelle Ponselle, who served as the Lodge's final coordinator, said the Lodge depended on students and their families to run it as a fundraiser to reduce their tuition. Ponselle served as the school's development director in its final year.
The Lodge "was part of the culture of the school," said Ponselle, a St. Bernard School alumna and a parishioner at St. Jerome in Maplewood.
Demand for volunteers also played a role in the demise of the Epiphany Diner in 2011. Run by the largest parish in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, the diner — famous for its turkey and meatloaf dinners — shut down after 54 years due to an aging volunteer base and dwindling numbers.
"You either had elderly or the younger families, where it was hard for them to leave the kids to be down there and volunteer," said Ruth Dillon, a parishioner of Epiphany in Coon Rapids who served as the diner's final coordinator.
Epiphany leaders also attributed the closure at the time to outdated kitchen equipment, dwindling customers and needed church building improvements.
Theology on a Stick, meanwhile, never identified a place to relocate. "Without an available venue, there wasn't a whole lot that we could do to try to keep that fire alive," Baer said. "All those opportunities that we had just kind of died on the vine, unfortunately."
Religious presence
Other Minnesota faith communities have found numerous ways to engage fairgoers. Protestant ministries Crossroads Chapel and Bible Land Crafts offer religious goods throughout the fair. Building Blocks of Islam provides information about Islam. Both of the fair's Sundays include Prayer at the Fair, an ecumenical worship service, and a service at the Crossroads Chapel.
At one time, around 20 churches, both Protestant and Catholic, ran dining halls like Epiphany and
St. Bernard. Since 2012, that number has been only two, Hamline United and Salem Lutheran, both of St. Paul. The halls raise funds for the churches and build connections for the faith communities.
Teresa Renneke, a 25-year volunteer with Hamline United's dining hall, said the church's close proximity has helped keep a steady stream of volunteers, with around 65 working daily for the annual fundraiser. She said adding Izzy's Ice Cream to the front of the diner in 1999 has helped traffic.
"We try to have a [special] flavor every year," Renneke said. "A couple of them have been very church-related flavors. Our first year we had elderberry … and we've had mini donut crunch, so that kind of fits a fair theme [too]."
Hamline United has varied its burger menu to boost interest. Ham loaf, however, remains a big attraction. Renneke sees the benefit of a sit-down style restaurant at the fair.
"It's kind of a break [for fair goers]," she said. "We have real china, silverware."
Both the Epiphany Diner and St. Bernard Bulldog Lodge stood the test of time for five decades each before closing. That included navigating the food-on-a-stick craze, which took a toll on the role of the dining hall, said Craig Dillon, an Epiphany parishioner who volunteered at the diner for many years.
Rhonda, his wife, attributed it to a "'now' society." "We want to be able to eat and keep on going — just eat it on a stick, keep walking, keep looking and keep going," she said.
Epiphany, Craig said, found a niche in the breakfast hours before someone would want lunch on a stick. "We had less competition for breakfast. Not a lot of people want a pronto pup at 7 a.m.," he said. "We fed a lot of workers of the fair."
The diner served food all day with the help of 100 volunteers. It became a popular fair destination and a source of parish community building. The Bulldog Lodge also had a following and enjoyed a prominent location, now housing O'Gara's at the Fair.
"Lots of heart and soul went into the dining hall for decades with generations of families with stories of working the food line and doing dishes," said Cassidy, who, as a St. Bernard alumna, also volunteered at the Lodge as a child. "And some, like my brother and his classmate, stay[ed] overnight to keep an eye on it."
St. Bernard served a variety of food in a sit-down setting but added a take-out option in its later years.
Aside from St. Bernard and Epiphany, St. John the Evangelist in Little Canada had a diner until the early 1980s. St. Joseph in West St. Paul also had a diner in Epiphany's location before the Coon Rapids parish took over.
"They are really a lot of work," said Father Robert Fitzpatrick, who served as pastor of St. John a year after the parish closed its diner. "Some of them [the volunteers] were basically worn out for the rest of the year."
Now pastor of Corpus Christi and St. Rose of Lima in Roseville, Father Fitzpatrick is responsible for the last remaining Catholic presence at the fair: the
9:15 a.m. Sunday Mass, held at the Family Fair Stage at Baldwin Park. Volunteers from Corpus Christi help with the liturgical logistics.
He said attendance ranges from 300 to 400 people each Sunday.
Both Corpus Christi and St. Rose of Lima also host parking for the fair, except on Sunday mornings.
Revival challenges
In recent years, different Catholic organizations have looked for ways to bring the Gospel to the other 10 days of the fair.
The St. Paul Seminary School of Divinity has spent a day at the University of St. Thomas booth in the Education Building as an evangelization opportunity. Seminarians passed out "Fans of Pope Francis" — paper fans with a picture of the pope — to fairgoers. Karen Laird, seminary communications coordinator, said the seminary is taking a break this year.
St. Paul Street Evangelization, a Catholic nonprofit dedicated to sharing the faith in person, has worked with smaller-scale fairs but doesn't have plans for the State Fair due to cost. Its members ministered at the Hopkins Raspberry Festival this summer.
State Fair veterans caution that setting up shop at the fair takes loads of work.
"It took a very dedicated team," Baer said of Theology on a Stick. "You need a small group of core people that are willing to live and breathe it for a while to make it happen."
That includes fundraising — and waiting.
While the State Fair doesn't have an endless waiting list to get in, there is a wait ahead for any potential vendor — one with no definitive time line. The fair offers spots to the previous year's vendors. If a vendor decides to not return, then the fair administration explores its pool of applicants who match the opening.
Jim St. Clair, State Fair deputy general manager, said what the vendor offers has high consideration in the process. The previous vendor's product and those of nearby vendors also factor in to how an applicant gets chosen. Experience and presentation play prime importance in applicant consideration. Food-related vendors have low turnover rates,
St. Clair added, but the fair overall has a 25-33 percent turnover rate. Dining halls buy property from the State Fair and are required to sell it back if vacating.
Buying property, operating costs and paying for volunteers' State Fair tickets all add up. Baer said it took substantial fundraising for Theology on a Stick, even without buying a venue.
With the reality of vending costs, Rhonda Dillon said a parish would need to carefully weigh the decision to have a booth or venue for fundraising purposes. Craig Dillon said Epiphany drew 1 percent of its cash flow from the Epiphany Diner, and it was still profitable when the church decided to sell it.
He said that having a daily large Catholic presence at the fair really weighed on the decision.
Cathedral Young Adults hasn't abandoned the idea of resurrecting Theology on a Stick. Its leaders have been in conversation about the event with other Catholic young adult groups.
Melissa Kaintz, Cathedral Young Adults core team chairwoman and a St. Bernard alumna, experienced the event as a college student and saw the value.
"It would be reaching, hopefully, a whole new demographic at the fair [that Theology on Tap can't]," Kaintz said.

Thank You Notes
Notes from recipients:
Copyright © 2019 Knitted Knockers Charities, Inc.
Rec'd the knitted knockers and I absolutely love them.
I am so very thankful that Anne was willing to donate her time and talents to helping me. Please let her know how grateful I am for her kindness. I just had bilateral mastectomies done on July 9. It is so hard to even be able to say the words I have Cancer. I still think I'm in shock. I am so glad your organization exists and that it helps others in such a useful, practical way.
I received the Knockers and I am so pleased and happy that I can give these to my grandmother.
Thank you much!!!!
While looking for info about prosthetic breast forms, I came across your "Knitted Knockers" web site. I was so moved by the idea that folks would take the time to do this and to share such a personal and useful gift with women who have had a mastectomy. I do not knit, and my crocheting skills are extremely limited. I wrote and requested a pair of 'Knockers', feeling a little guilty that I don't know how to knit or crochet well enough to make my own. I really didn't expect that you would be able to send some, as I'm guessing you receive a lot of requests. Today, I received my package in the mail, and I absolutely love them!!
My pair was made by "Judy from AZ", and it says they are made with pima cotton. They are so very soft and nice, and it just warms my heart thinking someone took the time to make these for a total stranger.
Thanks you so very much for the "new" me. You made my day!
Today I received a great gift a pair of knitted breast prosthesis. They are a great and appeciated gift. They are soft and easy to wear. I had a bilateral three months ago and still a little sore but with these prosthesis feels good and looks normal. A big thank you
Just received my knitted knockers last night. I tried it on right away & my parents couldn't believe how natural it looked. It is so light weight & comfortable. I can only think of one thing to say - WOW
Thank you so very much for my knitted knockers. They are so much more comfortable and lighter than the prosthetics. I appreciate your kindness and generosity more than words can say
Thank you for the wonderful pair of Knitted Knockers and for the gift of caring you offer to those who are dealing with breast cancer. When a person is dealing with medical uncertainty, it is a wonderful feeling to know there are folks, many of whom are strangers, who care.
What you do for breast cancer survivors is outstanding.
Thank you so much, I consider them an answer to my prayers.
I have been trying everything to get the right look since my double mastectomies in January 2013. The little puffy thing from the ACS just never looked right so after 15 or 20 minutes of tucking and fluffing (and cussing) I would just take them out, cry a little from frustration and continue on with my hot flash. Bootless and not feeling myself. I love my knitted knockers. They are the perfect size and so soft and comfortable. They give me such confidence and have truly put a big smile on my face (I even saw a couple of cute guys check them out) ha ha.
Your knitted knockers gave me back my giggle.
My thanks and admiration for what you do. Providing for newly "changed" women is wonderful!
I absolutely love my knitted knockers!!! They are ever so much more comfortable and feel so much better against my skin than the "dreaded prosthesis I have." You and your volunteer knitters are truly a gift from God, especially after going through a difficult medical trauma and such a major surgery. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

In reviewing what lings and other blogs I should list here, I ran across a great quote from one of my strongly-opinionated heroes, Allen Holub. It's about hiring, and matches my recent experience, where companies want somebody who knows some exact "hot" technology and accept no substitutes.
When you select for experience with specific technologies, for example, you reject extremely qualified people who could learn the required skills in a few days, while hiring incompetent programmers who have been using the technology incorrectly for years.
