Twitch.tv originated as a spin-off of general interest live-streaming site Justin.tv and catered to a core group of online gamers.
It was – and is – a platform where top players of online games like League of Legends and World of Warcraft would live stream when they were playing.
People could log in and follow the action from everywhere in the world and have direct contact with their favorite players through the chat box.
It took several years before poker recognized the value of Twitch for online poker and Jason Somerville is generally credited with being the pioneer of online poker streaming.
What's the Future of Twitch Poker?
At the PSC Bahamas, PokerStars' top five poker streamers got together for a panel discussion to elaborate on the state and potential of the phenomenon that is Twitch.
Along with Somerville were fellow streamers Kevin Martin, Jaime Staples, Randy 'nanonoko' Lew and Bertrand 'ElkY' Grospellier.
Randy Lew: When I started playing poker I didn't know anyone who played but obviously I had a lot of questions.
Twitch was an easy way to communicate with like-minded people. It helped me learning because I could watch players and ask questions.
Twitch poker Godfather.
I learned many basic things like maybe I shouldn't put it in with Q-T off-suit all the time as I keep losing.
Jason Somerville: Twitch started as a gaming portal. The major advantage is the level of interactivity of this platform.
Now, with poker being more established on Twitch, it brings people into the game. They see it trending and tune in.
First they only see people playing cards, then they realize that they are actually playing poker for real money online.
That's a big part of the thrill as anyone can see us winning or losing hundreds or thousands of dollars – hopefully winning.
We have this event called "Runitup Reno." We've now hosted it three times, I think, and we have people coming over from Norway, Sweden, Germany, the UK, everywhere. And they all heard about it when they watched the stream.
Also, you can always find someone who's interesting just for you. There are many who would watch one or two of the five of us, but not the others. The diversity of the players makes it interesting.
ElkY: It's so much more fun to watch any tournament as you're closer to the streamer and they're closer to you.
It's an amazing experience to have someone following until 4 am. The dedication is incredible and it's a great way to build a community.
Kevin Martin: Twitch reaches people who never played poker before. We have a guy here at the PSC Bahamas who started playing because of Twitch and now he's won a package for the main event.
How to Start a Poker Twitch Channel
Jaime Staples: I freaked out the first time when I went online and I was very clumsy. But the thing is, anyone can do it, the process is very simple. You just download the software and open an account.
Lew: Consistency is crucial in the initial stages. Stay away and you lose your viewers. If you won something big and start twitching, you might have 5,000 people watching you.
If you think you can stream any old time, think again.
But if you then think you're such a big deal you don't have to show up for six months and you'll still have these people watching, trust me, you won't.
Somerville: When I started out I streamed for 77 days in a row at least 7 hours a day. That sounds crazy but there are guys who stream even more.
You have to do a lot to grow your audience and you need to be in some way unique.
Martin: The first time I was streaming was also the first time I played online. I did have a lot of live experience but non online. And it showed.
I played terribly and lost. Then I said I will stick to $5 tournaments until I win, and I did that. I think following that progress was something that also attracted viewers.
How to Keep a Twitch Poker Audience Coming Back
Somerville: It's about the broadcaster finding their own rhythm. Everyone can come up with some innovations at some point, although even after years the most successful streams are still similar to what they were years ago.
Does Twitching Hurt Your Game?
Martin: I play low stakes with a pretty short, three-minute delay. That's still long enough to not give too much away but it helps to stay close to the viewers as things have only just happened when they come up on the stream.
Staples: Daniel Negreanu once said to me that self-awareness is key and I thought that was pretty cool.
Of course, you're telling people what you know. But you also know what they know, so as long as you're aware of yourself and what you're doing there's no damage.
It actually makes a difference how long your delay is. Four to six minutes is my range and shorter is always better. It's weird when comments about a hand come in that you played six minutes ago.
Trolls gonna troll.
Somerville: Believe me, jokes are weirder. People go 'haha' in the comments and I have no idea what they're talking about.
Lew: Streaming is not to our advantage, believe me. But it does make us stronger as well because we have to adapt to people learning from us and become better players.
How to Deal with Trolls and Critics
ElkY: Sometimes you explain yourself when someone says you played a hand badly or weird. But sometimes there's no point because people are just attacking you because it makes them feel better.
Lew: My motto is 'someone negative in my life won't get the attention they want.' Don't feed the troll because you cannot win the argument.
Staples: When you start to have a name, and people see you as a human being, your numbers go up. But things can always sway to the negative side. You need to find a balance between having some success without becoming a target.
Somerville: Daniel Negreanu once said to me don't take anything serious, they don't know who you are. And it's true.
No matter if it's something positive or negative. But you need mods to delete the worst nonsense otherwise people start echoing each other.
One says "that was terrible" and the next guy answers "you have no idea" and then things get out of hand quickly. I have two guys who are reading Twitch comments full-time just to clean up the worst mess.
Staples: Everyone has their own approach.
How to Stay Motivated Streaming Poker
Lew: In tournaments it just happens that you just bust and bust and bust, but it makes me want to keep playing. Downswings are amplified by being public but I always try to spin the negative energy to use it for something good.
ElkY: If you bust, all the people on the stream bust with you, which is extra motivating. I mean, I can't let people down who've been following me so long, so I have to play my best even if I have deep runs for several days in a row and I'm getting really tired.
Staples: I had a really bad year in 2016. I had some money from my income in the beginning so I tried playing higher stakes and better players - and they crushed me.
Maybe that was a mistake and I learned from it. Everyone has their own approach; while Kevin went for the straight development, I took the swingy line.
Somerville: There's a lot of losing in poker. Get used to it! We lose 80 times of a 100, maybe a little less if we're really running well.
Heck, even Phil Ivey would bust 75 out of 100 tournaments -- if he'll ever play another 100 tournaments.
Martin: Stay close to your viewers.
But to be honest, when you have a deep run, make the last two tables as chip leader and then boom, you lose and finish 15th, if then 5k people laugh at you, it hurts.
I guarantee you we're all more thick-skinned today than we were ever before, peaking in not caring about what people think.
Will Twitch Kill Poker?
Somerville: When I started there was no book except Super/System. Then the book market exploded and players went crazy because all this information was given out. But it hasn't killed poker.
Lew: It's naïve to think the level of a game wouldn't evolve. It does just like mankind has always evolved and still is. But it's still possible to become a consistent winner in poker, and it'll stay that way.
You don't need to be better than everyone in the tournament you play in; just better than the guy at your table you're playing right now.
Elky: We became good at poker without books. Today, with or without books, whoever is motivated and talented will become good anyway.

She learned to sew at the age of 4 at the feet of her beloved grandmother. Veronica's first project was to sew a button, and after she mastered that, her skills grew. Her first experience with a sewing machine resulted in Veronica sewing her finger. She switched to sewing fabric, and she enjoyed creating clothing for herself and later clothing for her two young children.
As a young adult, her creative endevours expanded from sewing, to crochet, embroidery, ceramic and stained glass arts. Years later she took up quilting as a way to connect with her soon-to-be mother-in-law and fell in love with the freedom it gave her to create unique pieces of art even when using the same pattern. Eventually, the life came full circle as one of Veronica's first quilts was for her grandmother.
For Veronica the memories of her grandmother curling up with her two children in that quilt and reading or playing became treasured memories that continue to surface as she helps other quilters create treasured heirlooms for their families.
She has demonstrated the technique at quilt shows, quilt shops, cruises, quilt guild meetings and on television. Veronica has taught many classes and workshops. She also does trunk shows on stage and loves to pass her 70+ quilts around in the audience. Veronica is also a Certified Quiltsmart Instructor.
While Veronica may be the face and voice of Bear Thread Designs, she acknowledges that its is her family that keeps things going and not just inspirational. Her husband, Kevin is the brains of the operation as he runs the office, overseeing management of the company, "does the math" when it comes to the financial areas and attempts on most days to keep Veronica from buying more than she sells when she's at show, all while running the every day working of their Texas ranch! Their son Mark and his wife, run the Shipping and Distribution Department, while daughter Michelle manages the Marketing and Education Department and assists with scheduling. The grandchildren oversee "quaility control" as they nap in quilts, unfold and scatter as much fabric as possible and stack empty fabric bolts into elaborate buildings!

Snow & Ice Control
General Snow/Ice Control Policies
Snow and ice control is emergency work and is accomplished as efficiently and expeditiously as possible with the resources available to City government. A combination of many factors interact to make each snowfall and the effects of each such snowfall unique. Consequently, the snow and ice control plan for the City must be flexible enough to cope with and respond to varying conditions during and after each winter storm.
Find detailed information on the City of Dubuque's city-wide snow/ice control policies.
Primary/Secondary Snow Routes
During a winter storm, fourteen City plow/spreader trucks will be dispatched when necessary to plow and treat Dubuque's streets. Each truck is assigned to one of fourteen (14) zones or routes into which the City is partitioned.* If snowfall accumulations are in excess of six (6) inches, motor graders and plow-equipped endloaders may be dispatched to assist with plowing operations. These plows will first clear the primary, and then the secondary, streets. After those streets are open for vehicular traffic, the plows will then clear all remaining streets listed on the sixteen (16) general plow routes. The current budget provides that all improved streets are to be cleared for vehicular travel within forty-eight (48) hours of the cessation of a winter storm.
View a map of the primary and secondary snow removal routes.
Odd/Even Snow Route Parking Policy
The City of Dubuque's odd/even snow route parking policy affects 34 miles of Dubuque's most heavily traveled streets. Prior to the policy, cars parked along streets have made it difficult for our crews to plow curb to curb. Some streets became hazardous to drive due to narrowing widths. The snow route parking policy allows crews to plow the streets more effectively, improve driving conditions, and provide better on-street parking.
After snowfalls of three or more inches, when announced, the program requires odd / even parking along the designated routes. When in effect, parking is prohibited on the even numbered side of the streets on the even days of the month, and on the odd numbered side of the streets on the odd days of the month. The parking restrictions are enforced from 12:00 noon to 5:00 p.m. or 1:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Download a detailed brochure on the program.
Implementation/enforcement of the odd/even snow route parking policy will be announced at least six hours in advance through area news media, including CityChannel Dubuque (117.2 and 8 on the Mediacom cable system.) Vehicles violating the restrictions will be ticketed and fined $30.
Request an email or text notification whenever implementation of this policy is announced.
For additional information regarding Dubuque's snow route parking policy, contact the Public Works Department at 563.589.4250.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
I would have been excited to visit Flora, a new downtown Oakland eatery from Tom Schnetz and Dona Savitsky of Doña Tomás and Tacubaya fame, even if there were no such thing as a blogosphere. Flora's lineage and location were enough to whet my appetite — downtown Oakland has hit its stride of late, and the new bars and restaurants I've tried there have been a pleasure to visit. Doña Tomás has long been a favorite as well, with a menu and ambiance so good when they're good that the occasionally uneven quality of the food and service can be forgiven.
But there is a blogosphere, and it's filled with people who love to both eat and opine — so the flurry of online activity upon Flora's debut was really no surprise. One foodie blogger raved about a meal she enjoyed there soon after the restaurant's "soft launch." Then another bashed that early rave — and the restaurant — without ever having eaten there. Naturally, that second writer was then torn to shreds for criticizing a restaurant he'd never visited. He bashed back, and so on, and so on. (The Express and its food criticism also took a few hits in the course of this lively exchange.)
I won't call all of this commentary much ado about nothing, but it's definitely much ado about not so much. So far at least, I've found Flora a little disappointing — but that doesn't mean it won't find its footing and blossom.
First, the ambiance. In contrast to the sunny exuberance of Doña Tomás' Mexican decor, Flora has all the warmth of an Edward Hopper painting (you know the one — you probably had the poster in college). Situated across the street from the Fox Theater, in the ornate cobalt-blue Floral Depot building, it's got a long glowing bar and tall windows discreetly frosted a third of the way up. You enter with the feeling that you're about to meet a private eye for a Sidecar and a look at some seamy photographs.
The menu is standard California cuisine, more predictable than revolutionary and a bit expensive, with several entrées hovering around $20. More creativity seems to have been put into the wine and spirits list that's sure to make your head spin, especially if you order off the extensive cocktail menu. I tried the Corpse Reviver No. 2, for which Flora gives credit to Arnaud's French 75 Bar in New Orleans, and revive me it did — tartly — with a mix of gin, Cointreau, Lillet blanc, lemon juice, and, now that it's legal again, absinthe.
Lunch at Flora consists of soups, salads, sandwiches — we particularly loved the salty but delectable tuna melt — and just a few larger entrées. A salad offered at both lunch and dinner featuring a Little Gem lettuce assortment with red potatoes, hard-cooked egg, and a black truffle vinaigrette was substantial enough to stave off hunger without filling us up; its myriad enticing flavors made for a lovely start to the meal. Ditto the mixed chicories served only at dinner (replaced with arugula the night we ordered it), a dish that also featured apples, fennel, Point Reyes blue cheese, and a pomegranate vinaigrette. The switch to arugula was one of a surprisingly high number of substitutions or unavailable menu items during a Saturday night visit to Flora; the kitchen was out of two starters and two entrées, and our dessert featured a substitution as well. Too bad they didn't run out of the charcuterie plate of salami and ham, which resembled and tasted like small piles of luncheon meat dropped inartistically on a plate.
No matter, we'd forgotten all about it by the time we tucked into our grilled New York strip steak, which was as juicy and tender as any we've tried in recent memory and perfectly accompanied by horseradish cream, sautéed spinach, and potato gratin. Other entrées included chicken, fish, and pasta dishes; an intriguing vegetarian option of a butternut squash pancake with crème fraîche and roasted beets and fennel; and a pan-roasted duck breast that we were warned was on the salty side. I appreciated this last bit of candor from our server — a rarity in a world of restaurants where all too often the response to "What do you recommend" is an effusive and disingenuous "Everything!"
Flora's dessert menu is a long list of creatively rendered temptations designed to please a range of tastes: crinkle cookies, bread pudding, even a cheese plate if you're craving savory. But the caramel pudding served with sea salt that we ordered so eagerly after a weekday lunch, knowing that at the hand of the right chef those two flavors can complement each other surprisingly well, was both too large and too sweet. We had better luck with our Saturday night meal, which we finished with coffee served in a small French press and a spumoni sundae (no spumoni, but we loved the vanilla toffee ice cream that replaced it). It's hard to ruin a sundae, and something about the dish's simplicity fit nicely with Flora's retro vibe.
Skewing the menu a little more firmly in that retro direction — sticking with the classic dishes they seem to have mastered and adding a few more — might not be such a bad idea for Flora. After all, you just don't share mixed chicories with your private eye — and I don't recall any Little Gem lettuces in that famous Hopper painting.

Surveyors Looking to the Future with New Apprentices in 3D Surveying
A South Yorkshire company is to become the first in the country to offer apprenticeships in 3D surveying. 1st Horizon, which is based near Penistone, wants to recruit up to ten apprentices to help cope with increasing demand for its services.
The company, which was set up in 2006, specialises in 3-dimensional laser scanning of buildings and surveying for underground pipes and cables. They can survey anything from sewage works and reservoirs to supermarkets and schools.
1st Horizon was one of the first in the UK to invest in the 3D scanners and has recently invested £500,000 in new 3D equipment. Most clients are in the UK, but the company has also worked on projects in Russia, Germany and Romania. It also helped Channel 4's Time Team look for an Iron Age fort using a 3D scanner.
By teaming up with Barnsley College the company is now able to offer the two-year apprenticeship to young people aged 16 to 18. The apprentices will be employed full-time by 1st Horizon and undertake training which will be run in-house and at the college.
Jim Garside, 1st Horizon's managing director, said: "We are working with the college to design the training from scratch as it really is the first time something like this has been done. It will be pretty technical, but we are talking about an industry that is going through massive growth.
"We are seeing an increase in demand for our services and these apprentices will help increase the capacity of our teams working at different sites throughout the country.
"These recruits are the future of the company and we hope in two years' time they will be able to take on senior roles."
Applicants must have a minimum of five good GCSEs and be IT literate. The training will be a mix of in-house, block release and online learning.
Tim Taylor, programme manager for construction at Barnsley College, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to be working at a cutting edge company in this vocational area. The industry is rapidly changing with the advent of new technology and it is exciting for Barnsley College to be working in partnership with such a new venture."
Anyone interested in applying for an apprenticeship should contact 1st Horizon at email@example.com

Walking through Winnipeg with the Weakerthans
The winds of Canada blow wild and cold. At least, that's what I hear – I've never been to the depths of Manitoba, but after listening to the last few albums by the Weakerthans, I have a firm sense of place built up in my head. They make me feel like I've been there.
The Winnipeg band was forged in the fire of punk rock, with singer/lyricist John K. Samson coming from the band Propaghandi. He created The Weakerthans after looking for a less rigid form for his intricate songwriting. The Weakerthans combine a kind of country-tinged post-punk with sweeping storytelling that's like hearing a Raymond Carver story set to music.
Their fourth and latest album, Reunion Tour, doesn't break huge ground from their stunning last disc, 2003's Reconstruction Site. Instead it's merely lovely, warm and dense, another gem-filled tour of hooks and wry lyrics and better than 90 percent of the bands out there. It's full of telling details that evoke some of their fellow Winnipeg singer, Neil Young, but it's got a kind of humble awe all its own.
Samson's subject matter reveals his eye for the downtrodden and worn-out folk of life. The power-chord guitar rock of "Tournament of Hearts" is actually about the terminally uncool Canadian sport of curling – as the narrator at a curling match thinks of his lost love: "I slide right through the day, I'm always throwing hack weight." The gorgeous "Civil Twilight" pays ode to a worn-out bus driver lost in his thoughts: "My confusion-cornered commuters are cursing the cold away," goes another note-perfect couplet of lyrics.
The songs skirt the edge of pretentiousness – for instance, one song on both this album and the last are narrated by a cat named Virtute – but the nonchalant air of Samson's voice pulls this off, like a combination of Robyn Hitchcock, Wilco and an Elvis Costello who grew up on the Canadian prairies. Samson's work is intricately married to the Winnipeg surroundings, with local characters and legends all mythologized in his work.
Even that mysterious denizen of the north woods gets his own tune in "Bigfoot!," which features a sasquatch believer holding faith despite the mockery of his small town neighbors:
"I'll go through it all again
watch their doubtful smiles begin
When the visions that I see believe in me."
Perhaps my favorite song on Reunion Tour is the wistful "Sun In An Empty Room," a delicately drawn portrait of leaving a home behind that's inspired by an Edward Hopper painting:
"The black on our fingers smeared the ink on every door pulled shut /
Now that the last month's rent is scheming with the damage deposit."
Samson's lyrics offer rewards on repeated listens – it's worth the somewhat lengthy wait between Weakerthans albums (four discs in a decade; they haven't broken up, so I guess the Reunion Tour title is a bit of an in-joke). The Weakerthans provide surpassingly intelligent, yet hook-filled and accessible rock. They're a Canadian treasure worth searching for.

Hello and welcome to my story of my Peugeot 304 Cabriolet.
It all started in the late 70s when I became an apprentice at Codap Peugeot in Manchester. Every time we got a 304 convertible in, I was amazed at the car. It just had that 'I want one of those' factor and I promised myself that one day I would have one.
My first Peugeot 304 convertible was a later model, from 1975, known as the 304s. This basically had a few more horse power, a different dashboard, an 'S' badge on the back, headrests and twin carbs, than its predecessor. I sold it locally and regretted it before it had even left the street.
If you haven't already guessed, this is the one now owned by the Our Classic Cars team!
A short time later I began to look for another. My search led me to Leamington Spa where my current car had sat for many years in a warehouse, shoved in and out as and when they got busy. The hood, carpets and seats were trashed and it didn't run, stop or anything.
Once it arrived home I then began the search for parts – then stripping, welding, painting and freeing off just about everything. Hours and hours were spent to get it to the standard it is today.
There is still plenty to do though – but there's no rush as this one is not for sale. UK spec right hand drive models are now getting pretty rare – there are only 16 x 304 convertibles and 25 x 304s convertibles left on the road.
I attend various car shows throughout the year, where the little Peugeot 304 Cabriolet always draws a crowd.

Oppo opened sales for their new R9 and R9 Plus smartphones in China this past Friday, and sold a record number of units on the first day.
Oppo reportedly sold 180,000 R9 and R9 Plus units the first day sales opened in China. This was far more than Oppo anticipated to sell, making their debut a big success. This sales figure includes both online and in-store sales. Oppo's ramped up marketing may have contributed largely to the big sales figure. The desirable specs and beautiful design all for a super budget-friendly price also make it worth picking up.
This is quite impressive out of Oppo and caught even us by surprise. Let's hope the company can keep the momentum rolling in the months ahead. Hopefully Oppo will bring the popular duo to more countries in the near future, which will surely help in increasing sales.

SANTIAGO (AFP) - A Chilean at a rock concert where more than 80 people were killed in the Paris attacks described Saturday how a gunman pointed right at him before letting him go, but two other Chileans died.
"The terrorists got there and opened fire all over the place," David Fritz Goettinger, 23, told Chilean radio, referring to the historic Bataclan hall where the US band Eagles Of Death Metal were playing Friday when the violence erupted.
"It was kind of like an earthquake, they were firing all over the place, there were explosions and shots," he told Chilevision from Paris, where he has spent most of his life.
"I'd gone to the bathroom and I came out and could tell something bad happened," he said.
"The music from the show had stopped so I went to talk with my friend and ask what happened. And then I saw dead people."
A gunman pointed right at him but did not fire, Goettinger added.
He told police he was asked by one of the gunmen if he believed in God, and he said he did.
He was asked if he was French, and he said he was Chilean.
He was let go, he said.
"So then we hid, first we crawled along the floor to find somewhere to hide, and I got stuck somewhere on the second floor," he recalled, adding: "I'm tired. I am in shock."
Patricia San Martin, 55, was not so lucky. She was attending the same show with her daughter and was killed, Chilean Senator Isabel Allende said.
A second Chilean was also killed, the foreign ministry said, naming him as Luis Felipe Zschoche Valle, but the circumstances of his death in the attacks were not immediately clear.

Justice Will Investigate Till Murder Again
Aired May 10, 2004 - 11:05 ET
DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Now we'll go live to Washington, D.C. The Justice Department holding a news conference. They plan to reopen a murder investigation of a murder that is almost 50 years old and helped inspire parts of the civil rights fight. Let's listen in. ALEXANDER ACOSTA, ASSISTANT U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR CIVIL RIGHTS: Good morning. The Department of Justice and the Mississippi District Attorney's Office for the 4th Judicial District today are opening an investigation into the 1955 murder of Emmett Till. In August of 1955, Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American boy, a Chicago resident, was dragged from his bed, kidnapped and murdered while visiting family in Mississippi. His crime was that he purportedly whistled at a white woman and perhaps touched her hand. Less than a month after Till's body was pulled from the river, an all-white jury acquitted Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam of Emmett's murder. The jury acquitted despite eyewitness testimony as to the defendant's identities. In closing, defense counsel had appealed to jury members' white heritage, suggesting that their Anglo-Saxon fathers would turn over in their graves if they lacked the courage to free these men. The jury deliberated only 67 minutes. One juror suggested that it would not have taken that long if they hadn't stopped to drink a pop. Bryant and Milam subsequently sold their story to a magazine detailing how they beat Emmett, shot him in the head, tied a metal fan to his neck with barbed wire and pushed his body into the river. But because they had been acquitted they could not be tried again. When Emmett Till's body was returned to Chicago, his grieving mother insisted on an open casket funeral. She intended to let all the world see what they had done to her little boy. Over four days, thousands witnessed the injuries on Emmett's body. Pictures and magazine articles of Emmett's murder shocked our country. Emmett Till's brutal murder and grotesque miscarriage of justice moved this nation. The murder of Emmett Till stands at the crossroads of the American civil rights movement. Although too late to save Emmett, the slaying helped galvanize opposition to the brutality of segregation and Jim Crow. In fact, it was just 100 days later that Rosa Parks famously refused to move to the back of the bus. Bryant and Milam have since passed away. However, renewed interest in the case has suggested information that they may not have acted alone. If indeed others are implicated and they can be identified, they can still be prosecuted. While the five-year federal statute of limitations in effect in 1955 has since expired, prosecution can still be brought in state court. As the murder was committed in Mississippi's 4th Judicial District, jurisdiction to prosecute would lie with District Attorney Joyce Chiles. Accordingly, I am pleased to announce a federal-state partnership to investigate the murder of Emmett Till. Federal prosecutors and FBI agents today are being assigned to investigate the Emmett Till murder in partnership with the district attorney's office and local law enforcement. ACOSTA: Their findings will serve as the basis for any possible prosecution. I would like to thank the district attorney, District Attorney Joyce Chiles, for her dedication to this matter. I'd also like to thank Jim Greenlee, United States attorney for the Northern District of Mississippi, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for providing the manpower to investigate this murder. Though his murder was brutal and tragic, Emmett Till unwittingly played a pivotal role in launching the modern civil rights movement. We owe it to Emmett Till, we owe it to his mother and to his family, and we owe it to ourselves to see if after all these years any additional measure of justice is still possible. Thank you. QUESTION: This case has drawn a fair amount of attention just in the last year or so. Tell us what you can about evidence that has surfaced in the past year or so with the documentary and other things. ACOSTA: You are correct. During the production of a documentary and during other research as a result of additional attention on this case, some information has been brought to our attention that suggests that other individuals may have been involved in the murder. To the extent that other individuals are involved, we owe it, as I said, to Emmett, to his mother, to family, and to ourselves to investigate whether in fact others were involved, whether their identities can be found, given the age of the case, whether they live, and if so, it would be appropriate, right and, I think, necessary to prosecute. QUESTION: Can you expand on... ACOSTA: We're opening a criminal investigation. I can't expand into details of what evidence may or may not have been brought to our attention. QUESTION: Have you had a chance to review that information or the evidence? ACOSTA: We have received information. Our attorneys and our prosecutors have conducted preliminary reviews into it. ACOSTA: At this point, we think what is appropriate is to open an investigation. As you may know, the FBI did not investigate this matter 50 years ago. And so, we believe it's appropriate to send FBI agents to investigate the matter. Because jurisdiction lies with the district attorney, we are working with her and partnering with her. Any final prosecutorial decisions would be hers. QUESTION: There have been several cases like this reopened in recent years. You had the (UNINTELLIGIBLE) prosecution. That was successful. You've had the three civil rights workers that were murdered still in the '60s, that has not produced anything so far. What's your sense of how difficult this will be, assuming you can go forward with some kind of a case? You've got -- it's so old, you've got witnesses if there are any. Is there really any chance... ACOSTA: You know, it's a nearly 50-year-old case. The two individuals who were charged initially with the murder are now dead. But as part of the documentary and as part of renewed interest, additional information was brought to our attention. Even if it's incredibly difficult, we -- you know, it's an appropriate use of department resources to investigate matters such as this. For those that are familiar with the civil rights movement, the murder of Emmett Till was pivotal. His open casket funeral in the north galvanized support. It brought the brutality of segregation and Jim Crow to the eyes of citizens and Americans in Illinois and Chicago. For the first time, many people witnessed what it was like to be subjected to lynchings and other actions that took place in the South. And so, it really did galvanize support. One hundred days later, Rosa Parks made her courageous stand, or sit. And in matters such as this, we owe it to them and to the civil rights movement to look into it if an investigation may uncover evidence of additional actors. QUESTION: Can you just clarify the federal statute of limitations for this type of crime? Is it different then than it is now? ACOSTA: It is different. In 1955, there was a five-year statute of limitation in effect. The statute of limitations in effect at the time of the crime is the statute of limitations that applies. It gets complicated. For those who are interested, I'm happy to provide a later backgrounder. But since then -- the basics is since then it has been amended so that in cases where there has been a murder, the statute of limitations restriction of five years would not apply if it took place today. Because it was in effect in 1955, it has run. ACOSTA: That being said, Mississippi, the state of Mississippi has full authority to bring a prosecution. District Attorney Chiles has full authority to do so. And we are, in essence, lending our investigatory resources to her and to the state to investigate this matter and to provide whatever information may be required to bring a prosecution if appropriate. QUESTION: By restating what's gone down in history, that Bryant and Milam were the two people who kidnapped and murdered Till, does that mean that you're not looking at any other people who might have been involved in the actual abduction and murder and are potentially looking at accomplices who were involved in either covering it up or... (CROSSTALK) ACOSTA: Let me be clear. Bryant and Milam sold their story to a magazine, so we are aware of what they said in the story that they told the magazine. We have been told that other individuals may have been involved in the actions leading up to or around this incident. And so, we are doing a broad investigation to see if other individuals were involved in the murder and the kidnapping or in other crimes associated with the murder and kidnapping of Emmett Till. QUESTION: So you're saying it's possible, it's at least an open question whether others are involved in the actual kidnapping and/or murder? ACOSTA: It's a matter we'll look into. QUESTION: And then just in terms of timing, did you say that -- I think you used the word "today" to describe the activity of FBI agents. Are they starting today? Have people been in Mississippi? ACOSTA: People will be assigned today. Today we are opening the investigation. My staff has been in Mississippi to discuss this matter with the district attorney, to negotiate and develop the partnership. But the investigation is being opened today. QUESTION: Was the Justice Department ever asked to get involved in the years after the Till case? And if so, was the decision (UNINTELLIGIBLE). ACOSTA: I don't have access to the historical record from 1955. QUESTION: You said this new evidence was brought to your attention. QUESTION: I wonder who brought that evidence to your attention? ACOSTA: It's a criminal matter. I've said what I can say about... QUESTION: Who asked you to review the case? How long have you been reviewing the case? Since what time? ACOSTA: We have received several letters from civil parties on this matter. I've pretty much said what I can say with respect to specific evidence. QUESTION: Can you say how long this has been under review? ACOSTA: I've said what I can say with respect to specific evidence. QUESTION: What about the level of federal resources, the general idea in terms of the number of prosecutors or FBI? ACOSTA: That will be a function of what we uncover as the investigation proceeds. As with all investigations, we will put as many folks as we think are necessary and appropriate to fully investigate this matter, to produce a report that will disclose whatever evidence we find regarding the killing of Emmett Till, regarding his murder. And we'll track down whatever leads are necessary in order to see if individuals can be identified who were responsible in addition to the two who were already tried. QUESTION: In terms of initially, can you give us any sense in terms of initially... ACOSTA: I'll provide you with a precise number. QUESTION: You said that you received several letters. Was the investigation launched in any part because of media reports on the case? ACOSTA: I believe, as the first question said, renewed interest in this matter has led to information that has been shared with the Justice Department. To the extent that renewed interest led to information that has been shared with the Justice Department, then certainly renewed interest contributed to our receiving that information and therefore has contributed to our looking into this matter. QUESTION: When you were talking about the documentary that Rock Simmons (ph) renewed, has that documentary -- is it out there already or is it still in the works? And in terms of that, have you worked with those film producers at all on this? ACOSTA: I believe the documentary is in the public sphere. I'll confirm that in about one minute. QUESTION: Has this issue been on the Justice Department's radar screen -- the Bush administration's Justice Department radar screen prior to the movie? And also, regarding the movie and people who are watching it, what sphere of folks? Was it people who were related to people who were focused with this case who called in? Was it African-Americans? Was it... ACOSTA: I can't say who has been watching the movie. What I can say is that the matter was brought to my attention. ACOSTA: Information was discussed with me. I asked my staff to travel to Mississippi to speak with the district attorney in Mississippi to develop this partnership. We at the Justice Department believe that it is appropriate in cases such as this where we are given information that other actors may have been involved to fully investigate the matter. Thank you. KAGAN: We've been listening to a news conference from the Justice Department, talking about how federal prosecutors, investigators and the district attorney in Money, Mississippi, will be reopening the murder investigation into the killing of Emmett Till. He was a teenager from Chicago back in 1955. He was visiting Mississippi when he unknowingly broke some unwritten laws of the Jim Crow south. He was dragged from his uncle's home, and he was beaten and killed in the middle of the night. Two men were arrested and charged with his murder. They were both acquitted very quickly by an all white, all male jury. They later then sold their story to a magazine and gave a very brutal account of how they killed Emmett Till. Now they -- now this new investigation will look into whether there were others involved and other identities that can be charged in the case.

Hi! Guess what? I got me a new book and I couldn't wait to dive right in! I am reading The Grave Robber by Mark Batterson. Mark is one of my favorite authors. You may recognize him as the author of The Circle Maker. I simply love reading his books! I am able to draw parallels to my own experiences and shed light on God's work in my life that I may not have recognized before. The Grave Robber is an in depth look at seven miracles of Jesus in the Gospel of John. I have just started the book and the first miracle happens when Jesus is encouraged by his mother. He turns water to wine at the wedding in Cana.
One of my favorite themes in the Bible is when we get a glimpse of how much God truly cares for us. Remember the story in 2 Kings chapter 6? Seven little verses tell the tale of God using Elisha to restore a lost ax head to his servant. The servant was devastated when his borrowed ax head landed in the Jordan river but Elisha knew that God would take care of him. He tossed a stick into the water and the iron ax head floated right to the top! Guys, this story is smack in the middle of of 2 amazing tales, the healing of a general and the deliverance of the Israelite Army. God CARES for us. God ROCKS!
Back to John chapter 2. The Wedding! The hosts were awfully embarrassed to run out of wine before the end of the celebration... I journaled an actual quote from The Grave Robber right onto the margin of my Bible. Batterson says: "I love the fact that this first miracle of Jesus is not about saving a life. It is about saving face! And it reveals how much God cares about the minute details of our lives. God is great not just because nothing is too big. God is great because nothing is too small. It it's a big deal to you, it's a big deal to God."
Nothing is too big or too small for my God!!

During these uncertain times, how can we help?
See below to participate in our Impact Sector survey, access our COVID-19 Resource Hub, and explore our growing directory of COVID-19-specific and virtual volunteering opportunities.
It is the mission of the American Museum of Ceramic Art to educate by presenting, collecting and preserving significant ceramic achievements of the world's cultures from ancient times to the present and through aesthetic and technical study to develop a deeper understanding of cultural values and traditions.
As an organization of vision, devoted to the arts, we believe that visual art experiences communicated through professional artists, workshops or gallery exhibitions, promote cross-cultural understanding and provide new perspectives and insights which enrich our lives.
Exhibitions and programming at the American Museum of Ceramic Art will embrace a wide number of topics - all relating to clay. Within this broadly diverse community, it is our goal to increase the aesthetic appreciation of clay as an art form and to assist our audience in unraveling the creative thinking behind the making of ceramic objects. At the same time, AMOCA aims to provide confirmed clay enthusiasts with encouragement, camaraderie and exhibition opportunity.
Used as a teaching tool, pottery is one of the most enduring indicators of culture. We can open the doors of the past through exhibitions of archeological finds; we can trace ceramic advances by studying the construction, glazing and firing practices developed throughout history, and we can find clues to the social expression of certain time periods through the study of ceramic shapes, forms and styles of decoration. Varied exhibitions may display pottery from different countries, focus on the work of an individual clay artist, illustrate specific skills or emphasize current high-tech processes. Useful vessels, tile collections and sculptural works, from wide-spread eras and regions, will all be part of our repertoire.

Web Summit 2013 opens tomorrow with NASDAQ bell ringing
Tomorrow (Wednesday 30th October) marks the opening of the fourth Web Summit at the RDS.
A record total of 10,000 attendees from Ireland and around the globe will attend this two-day festival of ideas which will see some of the world's leading company founders, investors, start-ups and industry-leading firms come together at more than 60 events organised across the city.
At 13:30pm on the main stage history will be made as the NASDAQ will be opened for the first time ever in Ireland by Taoiseach Enda Kenny.
The event will be closed on Thursday evening by the Taoiseach and one of the world's foremost entrepreneurs Elon Musk, founder of PayPal, Tesla Motors and Space X who will be joined by founder of Sherpa Ventures Shervin Pishevar and moderator Mark Little for fireside chat.
Founder and CEO of the Web Summit Paddy Cosgrave said of this year's event, "This is an event like no other. It is a melting pot where entrepreneurs can share experiences, collaborate on new ideas and have the opportunity to meet people who have blazed a trail in their respective fields as well as pitch their business ideas to some of the leading investors in the world. In four short years the Web Summit has become the 'not to be missed' event in Europe and has helped put Dublin and Ireland on the global tech stage."
"The Web Summit's success has provided a superb platform from which to showcase Ireland and its start-up culture to the world's foremost technology companies, but what is very exciting this year is how we have expanded the Web Summit to provide a platform for Ireland's food producers to showcase their produce to an international audience with the Food Summit. It also provides a new and unique experience for Web Summit attendees", he added. "We're also promoting over 30 of Ireland's best established and up and coming music acts during the Night Summit, a music and arts festival which takes place alongside the main event".
Over the next two days of the Web Summit 950 start-ups from Ireland and Europe will have the opportunity to meet with over 300 investment groups who between them manage billions of dollars in venture capitalist funds and are on the hunt for the next 'Facebook' or 'Twitter'.
"Over the next two days, investors from Google Ventures, KPCB, Accel, Atomico, Andreessen Horowitz and Greylock will meet with Irish and international start-ups. We've given start-ups the best possible platform, these funds manage billions of dollars and they're all looking to invest. The Summit is a great opportunity for start-ups, including hosting PITCH presented by Box and the ESB Spark of Genius awards", added Cosgrave.
Keynote addresses at the Dublin Web Summit from some of the world's leading technology experts and innovators include; Aaron Levie, Co-founder and CEO Box; Tony Fadell, CEO of Nest; Jay Bregman, founder & CEO of Hailo; Phil Libin, founder & CEO of Evernote; and Vice Media CEO, Shane Smith. 350 speakers will deliver talks from 6 main stages in the RDS and in workshops during the Summit.
It is estimated that over the course of the Web Summit 15,000 hotel bed nights will be sold in the city. In addition to accommodation, the hospitality sector will also receive a significant boost from the number of expected bookings for restaurants, bars, hotel boardrooms and other venues, resulting in substantial revenues for the city.

Wall Street fell sharply in early trading on Monday (local time), continuing a technology-led sell-off from Friday, as fears of a worsening global-economic slowdown and dropping oil prices continued to rattle investors.
The Nasdaq Composite that includes large-cap technology names such as Alphabet, Microsoft and Facebook was off 1.7 percent on Monday.
Microsoft's 3.3 percent decline weighed the most on the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq.
Heavyweights Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Alphabet were down between two percent and foue percent.
"Equities are in a 'go-nowhere-fast' mode, with a downward bias in the near term," said Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist at US Bank Wealth Management in Minneapolis.
"We need oil to stabilise to provide some confidence for investors, partly because to a degree, investors' stress is high, earnings visibility is low, and market internals continue to weaken," he said.
US crude oil prices fell 2.6 percent after a meeting between Saudi Arabia and Venezuela failed to reassure investors of measures to bolster prices.
Demand for crude is considered a barometer for global economic health, and markets across the world have tracked the rise and fall in the price of the commodity this year.
On Monday morning the Dow Jones industrial average was down 238.19 points, or 1.47 percent, at 15,966.78.
The S&P 500 was down 30.73 points, or 1.63 percent, at 1,849.32.
The Nasdaq Composite index was down 93.95 points, or 2.15 percent, at 4,269.19. The index closed at its lowest since October 2014 on Friday.
Nine of the 10 major S&P sectors were lower, with the 1.95 percent fall in tech stocks leading the decliners.
Dismal sales outlooks from marquee technology names LinkedIn and Tableau Software had sent shares in the enterprise sector crashing on Friday amid fears IT managers were curbing spending.
Cognizant added to those worries on Monday. The IT services provider dropped six percent to $US55 after it forecast its slowest revenue growth in 14 years.
LinkedIn, which closed down 43.6 percent on Friday, was up one percent at $US109.50 on Monday.
Tableau, which almost halved in value on Friday, was down 4.8 percent at $US39.35.
Twitter shed 4.5 percent to hit a new record low of $US15.03 after reports over the weekend that the company was planning to change how it displays tweets.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 2,453 to 295. On the Nasdaq, 1,962 issues fell and 351 advanced.
The S&P 500 index showed four new 52-week highs and 45 new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded no new highs and 197 new lows.

Region Remains Steady in Midst of Global Turmoil
Washington D.C., Sept. 20, 2011 – Robust growth over the past decade in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has had one new, key driver: China. The region's relationship with the Asian giant has proved to be a critical source of stability, both during the global economic crisis of two years ago, the greatest since the Great Depression, and even the current market turmoil that is rolling across Europe and the United States.
So far growth forecasts for LAC have remained positive between 3.5 and 4.5 percent for 2011 and 2012 and inflation rates are expected to stat between 6 and 7 percent this year. Perceptions of sovereign risk continue to be relatively low for the region. In fact, in an unprecedented development, markets now perceive that the sovereign debt default risk of several countries in LAC—including Chile, Colombia, and Peru—is lower than that of France.
While the consequences of the current global uncertainties are largely out of the region's control, it is no time to remain idle. One central question for the region today is whether it can make the most of its relationship with China to turn its recent vigorous recovery into sustainable robust growth for the future. To better understand such prospects, the World Bank's Chief Economist's Office for the region has issued a new report, Latin America and the Caribbean's Long-Term Growth: Made in China?
The study takes an in-depth look at the China-LAC relationship, particularly as it compares to Japan's interactions with East Asian economies from the 1970s to the 1990s. The report concludes that China's role in Latin America will need to adapt and evolve if it is going to have a lasting, positive impact.
"There is little evidence that China can play a role in fostering productivity growth for Latin America and the Caribbean," according to the World Bank's Chief Economist for the region, Augusto de la Torre. "In this new context of lackluster economic performance in the U.S. and Europe, one key question is whether LAC can leverage its deepening connections with China and turn it into an important source of long-term growth."
The golden years of the East Asian Tigers were characterized by large flows of intra-industry trade and foreign direct investment from Japan, with significant distribution of technology and knowledge more broadly. The first decade of China relations with Latin America have lacked much of that promising exchange.
China has become the principal trading partner for some large LAC countries. Trade between China and these nations, has revolved around the exchange of the region's abundant natural resources for low-tech goods from China that are labor-intensive to produce. This type of trade typically limits the potential gains from technology and knowledge sharing.
That is not to say that there have been no gains from the commodity boom in the region, the report emphasizes. Some bright spots show that certain commodity sectors in LAC are benefiting from technological innovation and generating local, quality employment. Extensive networks of local businesses in Peru and Chile, for instance, are benefiting from their ties to mining extraction and salmon farming, respectively, while agricultural producing countries in the Southern Cone have showed new technology deployment and productivity gains.
Until these favorable conditions become more widespread, however, it is difficult to expect that the region will finally begin narrowing the gap with advanced nations. LAC's growth performance over the 20th century was rather dismal – with per capita income remaining largely steady at 30 percent of the U.S. In contrast, East Asian countries saw their per capita income, which was only about 15 percent that of the U.S. in the 1960s, rise sharply and steadily to reach more than 70 percent of the U.S. by 2010.
The very fact that the region is confronted at this stage with inflationary pressures arising from strong economic activity is a clear reminder that the region tends to bump against "structural speed limits" at comparatively low growth rates.
While the high-performing economies of emerging Asia can sustain annual growth rates in the 6-9 percent range without inflationary consequences, in most of LAC the non-inflationary growth rates that can be sustained over long periods hover below 5 percent.
Some of the factors that help explain these differences in growth potential include:
- LAC's road density has declined 15 percent since the 1980s, while it has expanded 30 percent in the Asian countries.
- LAC's electricity installed capacity was about 17 percent below that of the Tigers in the 1980s. Now it is almost 50 percent below.
- LAC's percentage of population with tertiary education has risen from 9.5 percent in 1990 to 14.2 percent in 2009, but it pales relative to the Tigers, which has gone from 10 to 20 percent in the same period.
On the other hand, De la Torre explains "LAC has developed vibrant democratic systems that in the long term can contribute to ensure that progress in these key areas is sustainable."
In addition, some of the key external conditions to raise LAC's growth rate sustainably above the world's average are in place: large and growing countries with strong demand for LAC exports; high commodity prices; and low world interest rates. Seizing the opportunity on this favorable environment will require a well-designed and adequate policy mix that maintains macro-financial stability while fostering productivity, the report concludes.

Saturn's seasons are really, really long. A single trip around the sun — what we think of as a year here on Earth — takes nearly thirty times as long for Saturn. Like many planets, Saturn's surface undergoes changes as seasons progress and change, and since Cassini has been orbiting the planet since way back in 2004, the craft has had the opportunity to observe a full season, and all the dramatic changes that came with it.
One of those changes was the increase in what NASA refers to as "springtime hazes." That haze is what makes the planet look a giant ball of blurry clouds, and an increase in haze at the north pole has caused the bluish-green hue of the massive hexagon to transition into a mix of dull brown and tan, with just a hint of green remaining in the very center of its eye.
It's a fantastic observation, and a great example of the kind of amazing material we'll be missing out on when Cassini ends its mission later this year.

Article Title
Why Can't Tyrone Write: Reconceptualizing Flower and Hayes for African-American Adolescent Male Writers
Using qualitative methods and a case study design, the perceptions and writing processes of three African-American eighth grade males were explored. Data were derived from semi-structured and informal interviews; and document analysis. The study concluded that the perceptions of the three participants' writing processes did not adhere to the steps depicted by the cognitive process model of writing (Flower and Hayes, 1981) that has become a dominant model for describing the composing processes of students. Recommendations are made for altering the Flower and Hayes model to depict how these three, African-American eighth graders perceive school writing.

The power supply I ordered for my laptop was wrong in so many ways. Not only did the "universal" adapter come only with a car hookup; but, the plug for the laptop side doesn't fit in my HP/Compaq. Fortunately, desperation and creativity go hand-in-hand and I found a local power adapter I can borrow for a bit.
Of course, this stroke of good luck couldn't go unpunished. My laptop no longer charges its internal battery. My theory is it has fried it, like the last one fried.
This laptop is getting expensive. This is two batteries and two power supplies dead.

Parents of children with autism know how much effort they have to put into getting their children excited for school and helping them learn new concepts. From a very early age, these children simply develop differently than other children do. They respond differently to peers or adults, develop major skills in different orders from other children, think and understand mainly from their own perspectives and have difficulty memorizing concepts, focusing and organizing. If these children are not taught correctly, they may struggle with anger and frustration and may give up entirely on learning activities.
Effective Special Education for Los Angeles Children with Autism
There are several key ways that special education teachers can make learning a positive thing for autistic children. First, teachers should always incorporate structure into their classrooms. Teachers should follow certain timetables every day of the week for classes and activities and should let students know what is happening next. Students will also need to be told every step in a process in order to succeed. Second, these students will learn best when presented with pictures and other visual aids. Conversely, they do not learn well simply by listening to the teacher present a point. Thirdly, because these students are often prone to high levels of stress, teachers can use classroom time to teach these children behavioral strategies that can help them lower their anxiety and find positive ways of dealing with negative emotions.

You can authorise an eMandate using your netbanking login or your debit card and PIN.
When your merchant asks you to authorise an eMandate (electronic mandate), you will go through several screens.
Here's what you need to do.
Step 1. On the eMandate authorisation page (either on your merchant's website or on LotusPay), you can check the mandate details and proceed with authorising it. Read the NACH Debit consent and check your mandate details. You can select Net Banking or Debit Card (depending on whether that bank has that option), then click Continue.
Step 2. You will be redirected to the NPCI website and then to your bank's website. This next step varies depending on your bank's process. Some banks will do the next two steps in reverse order.
Step 3. Review the mandate details and click on the button to proceed.
Step 4. Log into your internet banking or enter your debit card and PIN (depending on the option you selected earlier).
Step 5. You will need to enter an OTP that you receive via SMS to the mobile number registered with your bank. Some banks may also ask your permission to do a one Rupee transaction to authorise the mandate.
You will be redirected back to NPCI, back to LotusPay, and then back to your merchant's website.
That's it - all done!
Troubleshooting tips
In rare cases, you may have trouble completing the above steps. Not to worry! You can always try again using the same link that you started the process from.
SMS not received
If you did not receive the SMS within three minutes, there could be a few reasons:
- Issue: The SMS went to a different mobile number than what you were expecting. Solution: That must be the mobile number registered with your bank. Go ahead and use the OTP.
- Issue: There is a delay in the system. Solution: Wait some time and try again later.
Error message on NPCI website or bank website
If you're seeing an error message on the NPCI page:
- Issue: You entered an invalid bank account number. Solution: Double check the bank account number that you entered matches the netbanking login or debit card that you are using for mandate authorisation.
- Issue: There is a system error. Solution: Wait some time and try again later.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
When cows attack: As we reported last autumn ("Head 'Em Up, Move 'Em Out!," November 14, 2001), the practice of allowing cattle to graze East Bay Regional Park District land has been the subject of a major neighborhood beef. Supporters say grazing is a boon to local ranchers as well as a natural, pesticide-free fire-control method, since cows chow down on many invasive plant species considered fire risks. Critics say cows simply trample the greenery, muddy the streams, eat everything in sight, and may be helping displace endangered local species that need a shady, verdant habitat to survive, such as the red-legged frog. The Alameda Creek Alliance and the Berkeley office of the Center for Biological Diversity challenged the district's grazing practices in court four years ago, but lost after the judge forbade them from submitting expert testimony on grazing's impact from outside the East Bay. Unfortunately, there were no local studies. "[The judge] limited us to what was in the park district's record, and of course there was none because the park had never conducted a review," says Jeff Miller of the Center for Biological Diversity.
Now both sides have gathered plenty of paperwork. Last year, the district produced its own study under the auspices of its Grazing Task Force, which recommended minor changes such as more fences in sensitive areas and fixing some trails. Last month, the Center for Biological Diversity issued a riposte, which included a list of more than 150 peer-reviewed scientific papers showing the impact of grazing in the Western United States. And a less scientific but more local study arrived at the same time thanks to the Friends of Sycamore Valley, better known as park-lover Greg Schneider. This one-man anti-grazing lobby released a hefty 366-page report showing what cows have done to his neighborhood park, Sycamore Valley Open Space. Schneider's report includes some of the five thousand photos he has taken showing the park's loss of vegetation and the prevalence of cow pies. It also includes testimony from park users who have been harassed by testy bovines, including the sad tale of a Danville man who claims that a cow butted him so hard that he flew ten feet into the air and landed in a nearby pond. Schneider also contends that the district is skirting the law because, by his calculation, sixty-nine percent of the district's parks have not performed Environmental Impact Reviews to assess the effects of grazing.
While Schneider is not an ecologist or a biologist, he says it's easy to see that something's wrong, and that the changes he's witnessed in Sycamore Valley are easily extrapolated to the district's other parks. "They can talk all they want and say how it's not damaging, but it's pretty hard to dispute the photographs," he says of his report. The Center for Biological Diversity is looking into another legal challenge, and Miller says that even though Schneider's study doesn't purport to be scientific, it will be invaluable in showing how grazing changed the face of Sycamore Valley. "He basically did the park district's EIR for them," says Miller.
Socialists in Berkeley? More than 300 members, activists, and fellow travelers associated with the International Socialist Organization showed up at a crowded UCB lecture hall last Saturday to hear Greg Palast, author of The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. Palast's smooth shtick, drawn from his detailed investigations of the unfortunate imbroglio that left Bush junior in charge, had packed the pews of Berkeley's St. John the Worker church the night before with a 700-strong audience. Lest anyone argue the far left has withered and died, his reception suggests otherwise.
Palast recounted how he discovered and reported for the BBC on the little voter-scrubbing program of Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, which allegedly disenfranchised some 57,700-odd reputed felons. Palast pointed at his laptop, reading that one of those scrubbed from the rolls was one "Thomas Cooper who was convicted in, ummm, 2007! Katherine Harris the time traveler," he quipped. "Of the 57,700, at least 92 percent were not criminals and 54 percent were guilty of being black. Let's see now. George Bush won by 500 votes." Palast's voice trailed off rather deliberately at that point.
Ahmed Shawki, editor of the International Socialist Review, capped off the evening's events with some suitably dissident warnings about life during wartime. From revolutionary John Reed, he quoted: "There is never a war overseas that is not paid for without a war at home." And from that pillar of radical thought George Carlin, he added: "During a war, never trust anything the government says."
And, yes, just in case you were wondering, the eighteen-to-eighty-year-old audience really did stand up and sing the Internationale -- well, most of it anyway.
Reeducating Nina: 7 Days was shocked, simply shocked, to see Berkeley High School alumna Marie Hartman -- better known under her porn name, Nina Hartley -- turn up recently at a SoCal temple with her new fiancé. No, we weren't shocked to see her as the guest lecturer at a place of worship. (So what if she's done 300, 400, maybe 500 porn films over the past two decades?) We were stunned to hear she had a new fiancé. His name is Ernest Greene, whom some of our more horny readers might know as the editor of Hustler's Taboo magazine.
As Hartley's legion of fans already know, Nina has spent most of her acting career in a high-profile three-way marriage with Berkeley photographer David Carr and local free-speech activist Bobby Lilly. Of course, California doesn't recognize three-way marriages, let alone same-sex ones, so on paper Hartley was only legally bound to Carr. Just four years ago, the trio headlined the Family Synergy conference promoting the benefits of multiperson marriages.
Porn's self-described socialist was quoted in Adult Video News as saying during her recent appearance at Temple Beth Ami, "I did have a three-way relationship for about twenty years. It was good in theory, but in practice it didn't work." She then announced she was going to marry Greene.
Before she walks down the aisle again, though, she'll need to finalize her divorce from Carr. Hartley filed for divorce in Alameda County Superior Court in July citing irreconcilable differences. Carr is contesting the divorce, arguing there is a "reasonable possibility of reconciliation."
You can't fault a guy for trying.
