One of the most inventive saxophonists in jazz history, Rahsaan Roland Kirk could play several horns at once, and make his own instruments. By no means a novelty act, his technique was flawless. Blind from the age of two, while a teenager, he discovered the "manzello" and "stritch" - the former, a modified version of the saxello, which was itself a slightly curved variant of the B flat soprano sax; the latter, a modified straight E flat alto.
This anthology covers Kirk's time at Atlantic between 1965 and 1976, from Here Comes The Whistleman, to the seminal The Inflated Tear, Blacknuss and Volunteered Slavery, as well as his collaboration with Al Hibbler, the brilliant The Case Of The Three-Sided Dream and some material previously only available on Does Your House Have Lions?
Compiled with Jazzwise editor and writer Jon Newey, and with liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre.
Also available on 180g vinyl.
Thirty-five years after his death, the blind multi-instrumentalist still leaves you feeling as if you have been run over by a one-man version of the Mingus Band. He brought a touch of the shaman to the playing three horns simultaneously. Listening to him on disc can never quite capture the theatricality; moreover, trademark tracks such as The Inflated Tear bring a strain of let-it-all-hang-out self -indulgence to this overview of his later work. Yet the Ellingtonia is intriguing, and even at his windiest Kirk had something much of the contemporary jazz world lacks: soul. The Sunday Times
"The term genius is too easily bandied about these days, but the late, great horn player was certainly one. This long overdue collection omits some gems in his illustrious canon, but newcomers can't afford to miss out." Daily Mirror
"He just about had it all - and his music still sends shivers up the spine 35 years after his death." All About Jazz
"Its tertiary title is 1965-76 The Atlantic Years, and that completes the primary information you need. Kirk fans will already have all this stuff, but for neophytes this is a good place to experience the carnival of influences that constituted Kirk's latter-day oeuvre: truly a raucous child of Charles Mingus. Kirk played sax, manzello, clarinet, flute and whistle, sometimes all at once. His music is deeply, culturally, consciously "black" to the limit. Sometimes gloriously." The Independent ****
"Vividly-etched portrait of an eccentric jazz genius. When Kirk succumbed to a fatal stroke aged 42 in 1977, the jazz world lost one of its most unique and versatile performers. Derided by jazz purists and dismissed as little more than a novelty or vaudeville act - especially when he played the flute while shouting into it or when he performed his party trick of playing three horns at once - Kirk left a substantial legacy of recorded music behind. Though he was affiliated with a number of labels. his most fertile period was an 11-year spell with Atlantic (1965-1976), during which time he released 12 albums and enjoyed a productive association with producer Joel Dorn. Key tracks from that time can be found on this terrific 2-CD Atlantic retrospective, which features a variety of studio material as well as some hard-to-find live performances." Mojo ****
"Kirk, who died in 1977, could play three saxophones at once, blow the flute and sing at the same time and do several other seemingly impossible things. He was blind too, and juggled all this stuff by touch alone. What came out was a kind of musical collage drawn from the whole history of jazz. He was a serious artist and woe betide anyone who suggested that his performance was some kind of freak show. This double CD pack contains some of his most impressive work, including a generous helping of his great 1968 album The Inflated Tear, along with several rarities." The Observer
"There are an awful lot of thought-provoking as well as entertaining sounds here and, thanks to the helpful notes by Kevin Le Gendre, a lot of guidance for those less than familiar with what made Kirk tick and makes him worth listening to now." Jazzwise Magazine ****
"Drenched in the blues and utilising chants, calls and gospel devices on some tracks, Kirk's music echoes much of what his former employer Mingus was doing in the 50s although Roland puts his own, very personal slant on it all. His flute sound is the very essence of jazz and is pure Kirk. Feel the blues power of Inflated Tear and Making Love. Enjoy the emotive blast of Volunteered Slavery. And on the few tracks where Roland plays just one instrument we hear what an inventive, distinctive tenor sax soloist he was. Ronnie Scott said that Roland came to his club with a nose flute, and, later, an ear flute. He wondered what sort of flute Kirk would turn up with next. Whatever, we may be sure it would still have produced great jazz." Jazz Journal *****
"Producer Joel Dorn once humorously described Rahsaan Roland Kirk as resembling 'a Christmas Tree from Pluto', referring to the array of different instruments (ranging from saxophones, sirens and whistles, to percussion and nose flutes) that were taped together, hanging off his neck and shoulders. Without doubt, Kirk's arresting visual appearance - combined with his party trick of playing three horns simultaneously - sometimes brought disapproval from Jazz purists, who viewed the Ohio-born musician as some kind of sideshow freak. Behind the outrageous showmanship and wild onstage antics, though, there was a serious and phenomenally talented musician whose achievements are only just beginning to be recognised. For the uninitiated, a new 2CD/22 track set, Spirits Up Above: The Rahsaan Roland Kirk Anthology, is a great primer and focuses on Kirk's richly fertile tenure at Atlantic during the years 1965-76. The stylistic span of the music is breathtaking, ranging from beautifully-wrought lyrical ballads to combustible hard bop workouts, funky soul-jazz excursions and incredible, unclassifiable self-penned material (such as the eerie Inflated Tear, an autobiographical song that allues to Kirk's blindness). Some rare and combustible live cuts are also included." Record Collector *****
"Kirk may have influenced rockers more than any other jazz sax player, and he's even seen with Clapton in the 1969 movie Supershow. Leaving the Mercury label after his 1965 landmark Rip, Rig And Panic, he went on to make the 13 Atlantic albums sampled here. Kicking off with two vibrant live cuts from the first of them, Here Comes The Whistleman, these 22 tracks run the gamut of Kirk's music: the trademark flute, playing two horns at once, the outlandish instruments. But it's the terrible beauty of The Inflated Tear, the title track from Kirk's 1967 album referring to the medical blunder that left him blind as a child, which makes this collection essential."

The death of a vulnerable Chesterfield teenager who hanged himself in a custody cell is to be featured in a BBC TV documentary today, Thursday, April 24.
Bolton coroner's court heard this month how Jake Hardy, 17, of Stonegravels, Chesterfield, hanged himself on January 20, 2012, while serving a sentence for affray and assault at Hindley youth offenders' institution in Wigan.
The inquest jury concluded he died four days later as a result of his own deliberate act but found multiple failings by YOI staff contributed to his death after he had been bullied by inmates.
Deborah Coles, co-director of charity INQUEST, said: "The deaths of children and young people in prison should be a national scandal prompting national debate and government action.
"Many of the deaths could and should have been prevented and the mechanisms to protect vulnerable young people are failing."
Jake is one of three youngsters who have died in custody and are to be featured in the documentary called Dead Behind Bars from 9pm today, Thursday, April 24, for BBC Three.
The film was inspired by INQUEST's 2012 report Fatally Flawed. INQUEST has worked with others calling for a review into young deaths in custody.
In February, the Government agreed to commission an independent review into the deaths of 18-24 year-olds. INQUEST also wants an examination of the deaths of youngsters in this film. Emma Wakefield, Executive Producer at Lambent Productions which made the documentary for BBC Three, said the film tells a shocking story through bereaved families.
The mother of cell death teen Jake Hardy is considering civil action and backing INQUEST in its campaign to prevent youth custody deaths.
Mum Liz Hardy, 50, said: "I think the prison service and staff should listen to the kids they are looking after especially when they have special needs. They had Jake for 46 days in their care but they just wouldn't listen to him."
The charity INQUEST is campaigning for an overhaul of the treatment of youngsters in custody.

Kline Statement: Markup of H.R. 4321, "Employment Privacy Protection Act, and H.R. 4320, the Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act"
WASHINGTON, D.C. | April 9, 2014
Today the committee will consider H.R. 4321, the
Employee Privacy Protection Act
and H.R. 4320, the
Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act.
Together these proposals provide an appropriate congressional response to the National Labor Relations Board's proposed ambush election rule.
I had hoped today's meeting would not be necessary. Over the last several weeks this committee has tried to engage in a good faith effort to address concerns about the board's proposed ambush election rule, specifically the rule's effect on the rights of workers and job creators.
Under the board's proposal, the right of employers to communicate with their employees will be severely restricted. Congress decided long ago it was in workers' best interest to hear the views of both unions and employers during an organizing campaign, yet the board's proposal takes a fundamentally different approach. An election could be held in as few as 10 days, providing employers little time to respond to a host of complicated legal questions and practically no time to speak to their employees. As a result, employers will be silenced and debate will be stifled.
We heard a great deal during a recent oversight hearing about the influence outside voices can have on union elections. Our Democratic colleagues showed us a number of headlines from Tennessee. Here is one headline they didn't discuss: "VW labor leader links SUV with works council." Citing Volkswagen's German labor chief, the
Chattanooga Times Free Press
that a "works council labor board at the Chattanooga factory is important if the plant wants to produce other VW vehicles." Reuters reports the same union boss has "threatened" to block additional investments in the southern United States if "workers there are not unionized."
Are these comments an attempt by a union leader to "ambush" workers? Well, that's not for us to decide today. But these comments illustrate that the debate over unionization is often spirited if not divisive. A vigorous debate can often get messy, but it still provides workers an opportunity to gather all the facts and make a fully-informed decision before casting their ballots.
That is why workers will be most harmed by the board's proposed rule. Deciding whether to join a union is not a simple decision. The outcome of an election can affect workers' future wages, health care, retirement benefits, work hours, and other employment conditions. Voters in federal elections have months to hear from all the candidates before deciding who will represent them in Washington.
Don't American workers deserve more than 10 days to decide whether they want a union negotiating over matters critical to their families' well being?
Several weeks ago Representative Roe and I met with Chairman Pearce to raise these concerns and seek answers to some straightforward questions. For example, did the board consider soliciting public input
releasing its proposed rule?
Does the board seek to diminish employers' due process rights by ignoring legal concerns that are not identified during an arbitrary seven-day window?
Is the board worried that providing personal information to union organizers will jeopardize the privacy of employees and their families?
And does the board honestly believe 10 days is enough time for workers to gather the facts, speak with friends, coworkers, and loved ones, and make an informed decision?
Unfortunately, Chairman Pearce failed to provide adequate responses to these and other important questions. We also asked the board to provide the public 30 additional days to comment on the proposed rule, yet even this reasonable, routine request was rejected.
We are left with only one conclusion: The board is utterly determined to jam through the regulatory process a flawed scheme that will stifle employer free speech and cripple worker free choice. Congress cannot sit idly by and let that happen. As lawmakers and the people's elected representatives, we have a responsibility to act.
Employee Privacy Protection Act
and the
Workforce Democracy and Fairness Act
provide a responsible, commonsense response to the board's radical ambush election rule. The legislation codifies, and in some ways strengthens, labor policies enjoyed for decades by workers, employers, and unions. The proposals will help ensure employers can continue to participate in a fair election process and workers have the time necessary to make an informed decision, as well as empower workers to protect their personal privacy. I urge my colleagues to support the legislation.

Sapphire Radeon HD6670 Review
Are you looking for a new graphics card to install in your system? Maybe you are building a new setup that is not going to be used for heavy gaming, but would still like to have all the bells and whistles that are available, such as DirectX 11 support, AMD Eyefinity, and AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing Technology. Whatever your reason for looking into a new graphics card for your current setup, or maybe a future setup that does not require a lot of graphics processing power and needs to operate silently, you may just want to check out the Sapphire HD6670. Sapphire's HD6670 is going to offer you a graphics card with the latest features, as well as the ability to have a single monitor resolution up to 2560x1600, while not breaking your wallet. I am excited to see how well the HD6670 is going to compare to the other cards that are in its class.
Closer Look:
Taking a look at the packaging for the Sapphire Radeon HD6670, the first thing that pops out to me is an image of a woman that is in a modern warrior outfit. This image gives me the impression that the Sapphire HD6670 is not only going to produce some very attractive images, but also is ready for battle against some of the other cards in its class. The top left corner of the package contains the Sapphire logo with the 1GB GDDR5 badge printed in the top right corner. Under the 1GB GDDR5 badge is a sticker that lets you know that Sapphire is using a cooler that was designed by Arctic Cooling with the tag "Cool and Silent" printed below it. This lets you know that Sapphire was thinking what this card is going to primarily be used for and decided to place a cooler on it that is not only going to hopefully give us some good temperatures, but also operate silently. The Radeon HD6670 logo is printed toward the bottom of the package to let you know exactly what is packaged inside. Along the bottom edge of the package, you will find the Radeon Graphics, DirectX 11 Support, AMD Eyefinity, AMD HD3D, DisplayPort version 1.2, AMD, and Gaming Evolved badges. When you take a look at the back side of the packaging for the Sapphire HD6670, you'll find a list of the highlighted features with a brief description of each. Sapphire lists 3D Stereoscopic Support, Digital Power Management, AMD Eyefinity Multi-Display, Microsoft DirectX 11, Advanced Memory, AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing Technology, HDMI and Audio support, and AMD CrossFireX.
Opening up the packaging for the Sapphire HD6670, you will find a cardboard package inside that houses not only the HD6670 card itself, but all the accessories that are included with the card. There is not very much included, but you will find an invitation to the Sapphire Select Club, an installation manual, a drivers CD, and a dongle to convert from a DVI display to a VESA display. Sapphire put the HD6670 in an anti-static bag to help prevent any static electricity related damages during the un-boxing or during the shipping process.
Now that we have taken a look at how the Sapphire HD6670 is packaged and what comes inside, it's time to take a closer look at the HD6670 itself.

Severe Drought Expands In Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - This week's update from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows that an area of severe drought in central Minnesota has expanded eastward into Wisconsin.
More than 7 percent of Minnesota is in a severe drought as of Thursday, up from more than 4 percent a week earlier. The area of severe drought now extends across the northern Twin Cities metro area into western Wisconsin, as well as down a ribbon of land along the Mississippi River to the southeast corner of Minnesota.
The drought has also expanded in western Wisconsin. Eighteen percent of Wisconsin is now in a severe drought, up from close to 7 percent last week.
About 79 percent of Minnesota and 59 percent of Wisconsin are rated abnormally dry or worse, which hasn't changed from last week.

Frequently Asked Questions: NWSL Roster Procedures
The eight founding clubs of the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) will fill out their rosters through numerous mechanisms leading into the inaugural season. Aside from the Western New York Flash, which was allocated two American players, each of the teams was allocated seven national team players (three Americans, two Canadians and two Mexicans). Each of the teams then drafted four college players during the inaugural NWSL College Draft on Jan. 18.
How will the teams fill out the rest of their rosters?
Following the NWSL College Draft, teams were able to sign four additional players beginning Jan. 18 and ending on Jan. 31. There will also be a Supplemental Draft and a period to sign Discovery Players.
Why were the Chicago Red Stars, Seattle Reign, Washington Spirit and Western New York Flash able to sign five additional players?
Those clubs were allowed one extra signing during the additional player signing period (Jan. 18-31) due to unforeseen absences or late season arrivals of allocated players. The specific reasons: Chicago Red Stars (a season-ending injury to an allocated player), Seattle Reign (a pregnancy of an allocated player), Washington Spirit (a possibility of allocated players being unavailable for the start of the season), and Western New York Flash (only received two allocated U.S. WNT players).
What is the Supplemental Draft and what is the reason for having it?
Following the period in which each team can sign four players (and in the case of the Flash, Red Stars and Reign, five players), each of the teams will submit a list of up to 8-10 players that will be put into the Supplemental Draft. The purpose of the Supplemental Draft is to provide a fair balance across the eight teams in obtaining available players.
Who is eligible for the Supplemental Draft?
Any player, domestic or foreign, who has graduated from college or is done with her college eligibility, was not selected in the NWSL College Draft, and whose rights have not been acquired through the previous roster mechanisms is eligible for the Supplemental Draft. Players who were eligible for, but not selected, in the College Draft may be named as Discovery Players after the Supplemental Draft has been completed (see below).
When will the Supplemental Draft take place?
Feb. 7 via a conference call. The draft will be tweeted live @NWSL.
How many rounds will there be in the Supplemental Draft?
There will be six rounds in the Supplemental Draft. The order of the draft will be determined soon.
Can teams pass on selecting a player during a round in the Supplemental Draft?
Yes, teams may pass on selecting a player during a round in the Supplemental Draft.
How will teams fill out the remainders of their rosters?
After the Supplemental Draft, teams may initially sign up to four Discovery Players, and after that period, teams may invite any remaining unsigned players to attend their preseason tryouts or preseason training camps.
What is a Discovery Player?
A Discovery Player is considered a player who was not drafted in the College or Supplemental Draft, or a player who was "discovered" either domestically or internationally, who is not presently on an NWSL roster and whose rights are not owned by an NWSL team. Teams can also list a player who is currently on a roster for a European or other foreign club, knowing that they would likely not have access to the player until the completion of that foreign club's league season.
How do teams claim Discovery Players?
The rights to Discovery Players will be allocated to a team on a "date of submission priority" basis. If two teams submit the same player, the team that submitted the player first will have the opportunity to sign her rights.
What is the process to sign a Discovery Player?
Once a team has submitted a Discovery Player, the decision to sign that player will need to be made in a timely manner determined by the League. Should a team decide to not sign the submitted player in a timely manner, that player can sign with another club.
How can players who are not signed by a team get onto a roster during the season?
Players who have never been signed or taken in any of the League's player acquisition mechanisms can be signed as Discovery Players.
Will there be opportunities after the four Discovery Players for teams to add any other players?
After the initial four Discovery Players are selected and once teams have gone into camp, additional Discovery Players may be permitted.
Is there a limit on how many players may attend training camps?
Each team may begin training camps with no more than 32 players on its preseason roster.
When do training camps begin?
March 11, 2013.
Can teams have fewer than 20 players on their rosters?
Teams can have no fewer than 18 players on their rosters and no more than 20 at any given time during the season.
What happens to players who were not signed before the Supplemental Draft, not taken in the Supplemental Draft or not signed as Discovery Players?
Players who remain unsigned after all of the mechanisms may still be invited to attend training camps to compete for a place on the 18 to 20-player rosters.

Thread - multithreading
use Thread;
my $t = new Thread \&start_sub, @start_args;
my $tid = Thread->self->tid;
my $tlist = Thread->list;
use Thread 'async';
use Thread 'eval';
Thread module provides multithreading support for perl.
- new \&start_sub
- new \&start_sub, LIST
newstarts a new thread of execution in the referenced subroutine. The optional list is passed as parameters to the subroutine. Execution continues in both the subroutine and the code after the
new Threadreturns a thread object representing the newly created thread.
- lock VARIABLE
lockplaces a lock on a variable until the lock goes out of scope. If the variable is locked by another thread, the
lockcall will block until it's available.
lockis recursive, so multiple calls to
lockare safe--the variable will remain locked until the outermost lock on the variable goes out of scope.
Locks on variables only affect
lockcalls--they do not affect normal access to a variable. (Locks on subs are different, and covered in a bit) If you really, really want locks to block access, then go ahead and tie them to something and manage this yourself. This is done on purpose. While managing access to variables is a good thing, perl doesn't force you out of its living room...
If a container object, such as a hash or array, is locked, all the elements of that container are not locked. For example, if a thread does a
lock @a, any other thread doing a
lock($a[12])won't block.
You may also
locka sub, using
lock &sub. Any calls to that sub from another thread will block until the lock is released. This behaviour is not equvalent to
use attrs qw(locked)in the sub.
use attrs qw(locked)serializes access to a subroutine, but allows different threads non-simultaneous access.
lock &sub, on the other hand, will not allow any other thread access for the duration of the lock.
lockwill traverse up references exactly one level.
lock(\$a)is equivalent to
lock($a), while
lock(\\$a)is not.
- async BLOCK;
asynccreates a thread to execute the block immediately following it. This block is treated as an anonymous sub, and so must have a semi-colon after the closing brace. Like
new Thread,
asyncreturns a thread object.
- Thread->self
Thread->selffunction returns a thread object that represents the thread making the
- Thread->list
Thread->listreturns a list of thread objects for all running and finished but un-
joined threads.
- cond_wait VARIABLE
cond_waitfunction takes a locked variable as a parameter, unlocks the variable, and blocks until another thread does a
cond_broadcastfor that same locked variable. The variable that
cond_waitblocked on is relocked after the
cond_waitis satisfied. If there are multiple threads
cond_waiting on the same variable, all but one will reblock waiting to reaquire the lock on the variable. (So if you're only using
cond_waitfor synchronization, give up the lock as soon as possible)
- cond_signal VARIABLE
cond_signalfunction takes a locked variable as a parameter and unblocks one thread that's
cond_waiting on that variable. If more than one thread is blocked in a
cond_waiton that variable, only one (and which one is indeterminate) will be unblocked.
If there are no threads blocked in a
cond_waiton the variable, the signal is discarded.
- cond_broadcast VARIABLE
cond_broadcastfunction works similarly to
cond_broadcast, though, will unblock all the threads that are blocked in a
cond_waiton the locked variable, rather than only one.
- join
joinwaits for a thread to end and returns any values the thread exited with.
joinwill block until the thread has ended, though it won't block if the thread has already terminated.
If the thread being
died, the error it died with will be returned at this time. If you don't want the thread performing the
jointo die as well, you should either wrap the
joinin an
evalor use the
evalthread method instead of
- eval
evalmethod wraps an
evalaround a
join, and so waits for a thread to exit, passing along any values the thread might have returned. Errors, of course, get placed into
- tid
tidmethod returns the tid of a thread. The tid is a monotonically increasing integer assigned when a thread is created. The main thread of a program will have a tid of zero, while subsequent threads will have tids assigned starting with one.
The sequence number used to assign tids is a simple integer, and no checking is done to make sure the tid isn't currently in use. If a program creates more than 2^32 - 1 threads in a single run, threads may be assigned duplicate tids. This limitation may be lifted in a future version of Perl.
attrs, Thread::Queue, Thread::Semaphore, Thread::Specific.
1 POD Error
The following errors were encountered while parsing the POD:

Don't let a lack of light in your home hinder your enjoyment of it. Whether it's that certain corners are too dark or a room's window isn't large enough, there's no need for a limited amount of natural light to affect the mood of your property. Our simple design tips will help you brighten up a gloomy interior and imbue it with a sense of warmth.
1. Make use of mirrors
The best-known solution to shadowy nooks and crannies is to reflect light with clever use of mirrors. A frameless design is particular effective, especially when strategically placed to reflect sunshine where it streams into your room. With this trick, bigger isn't necessarily always better. Make your window appear larger by placing a mirror in a similar size right next to it.
2. Choose the ideal curtains
Whatever the size of your window, amplify its benefits with a pair of lightweight curtains.
Dark and heavy materials or blinds tend to block out natural light. Enhance your room's airiness with curtains in pastel hues and gauzy fabrics.
3. Change your lampshades
Ensure your lamps add to your space rather than exacerbate your lighting issues. Avoid fixtures with bulky shapes and opt for streamlined, contemporary designs to accentuate the glow. Choose a white or off-white lampshade to allow additional light to shine through.
4. Light your room smarter
A room with dark ceilings or low beams can be very atmospheric, but this can also mean compromising on light. Brighten up your space by installing recessed fittings in timber beams, on a sloped ceiling or high up on walls. Bring extra sparkle to your room by choosing bulbs that emit a white glow rather than an orangey or lemony hue.
5. Reassess your furniture
Furniture changes the mood of a space. Replace dark wood, imposing lamps and overstuffed upholstery with sleek modern textiles and items featuring clean lines in neutral tones. Swap heavy items, such as chairs or a coffee table, with minimalist pieces to create additional space for light to fill. In a dark bedroom, opt for bright, fresh linen.
6. Spruce up the exterior
Make sure to assess your outdoor space for issues that could be affecting your home's natural lighting. Is there a large hedge or tree blocking the way? Do you have a plant box obscuring half a window?
7. Create a contrast
Painting your room in neutral colours has an instant lightening effect, but an all-white palette can look clinical. A modern take on this technique is to use contrasting shades or materials, such as classic black and white or metallics and wood. Alternatively, opt for soft cream-hued wallpaper with a marbled effect.

The Lady Bisons threatened to score again in third inning, loading the bases to bring up slugger Abby Keese who lined out to the centerfielder.
In the fourth inning sophomore pitcher Christen Campbell and senior catcher Jennifer Allsup singled in successive order and Dortwegt would single two batters latter to load the bases.
Simons knocked a double to right field to score Campbell and Allsup and advance Dortwegt to third base.
One batter latter in a double steal Simons stole second and Dortwegt stole home plate to earn what would eventually be the winning run.
The Tigers roared back in the bottom of the sixth inning, scoring three runs on a loaded bases double by Brittany Webb.
Their comeback would fall short, with sophomore Alaina Jacobson pitching 1.1 innings of relief to earn the save.
The Lady Bisons totaled for ten hits in the game with Dortwegt, Simons, and Campbell getting two apiece.


text: Wow, this is great. It's been about two years since I last posted in my account. I was just reading what I have been posting. I think it's great. I haven't built anything in a while, I have been saving for a new computer. But now money isn't such a huge problem. Soon, once my computer has it's upgrades, I will save money, buy a few books about the BASIC stamp, and I will start building better robots. I realize that the robots I have been building were good for the age I was, but still, I can do better. I will keep you updated.

Before importing or exporting, please note the following:
ADF (Application Development Framework) Considerations: When importing a Custom Element that includes custom field types or render handlers housed within the ADF, CommonSpot checks to see if the ADF is installed and stops the import if it does not find it. If you are using the CommonSpot Application Development Framework, check that both your web server mapping and the ADF directory are named ADF (all caps).
Path Considerations: Although you can specify any logical path for render handler modules, and export them or Custom Elements containing them to any logical server path, CommonSpot expects import modules to contain site-relative path locations and cannnot properly handle import packets unless the file references they contain are site-relative.

Update/correction: I received the following note today from Peter Beinart explaining why his East Bay appearance was cancelled: "[The East Bay JCC] pulled out because a JVP person was moderator and then when there were no sponsors who were Zionist and anti-full BDS, I pulled out. I did that sadly–cause I agree with JVP on the awfulness of the occupation–but given my strong opposition to BDS targeting all of Israel, it didn't make sense for me to speak to a forum in which there was not one anti-BDS organization sponsoring."
Last week, when Peter Beinart embarked on a tour to promote his new book, "The Crisis of Zionism," leading pro-Israel figures initiated an assault that was as hysterical as it was predictable. The campaign scored its first victory on March 23, when Bay Area pro-Israel groups including the Jewish Federation of the East Bay successfully pressured the East Bay Jewish Community Federation (the same group that helped block a Gaza children's art exhibition last year) to withdraw its sponsorship of East Bay Jewish Community Center to cancel Beinart's scheduled appearance. The pressure began when Jonathan Wornick, a Jewish Federation board member, took to Facebook to urge his friends in the local pro-Israel community to call for pulling out the cancellation of Beinart's talk. "Write or call the East Bay JCC and tell them to REMOVE THEIR SPONSORSHIP of this event," Wornick demanded.
After trashing Beinart and the sponsors of his talk, Wornick opened a Facebook thread mocking the family of Trayvon Martin, the black teenager killed by a neighborhood vigilante for no apparent reason other than being black. At the end of the thread, Wornick offered a list of hypothetical situations that would provoke him to shoot someone to death. He added: "and of course i'd shoot anyone anywhere if they were yelling allahu akbar! [sic]"
Below is Wornick's call to ban Beinart:
After extended ranting about Beinart, Wornick linked to an article reporting the vigilante-killer George Zimmerman's claim that his teen victim punched him. "So now that the facts have come out…are you proud of yourselves for jumping to conclusions?" Wornick railed.
Several screeds later, Wornick descended into murderous fantasies:
Wornick seems to have a penchant for extreme tirades. In March 2011, he published the following rant on his Facebook page:
"When will it end? Kill or be killed? Radical Islam, or, maybe all Islam is the problem. It's a backward, misogynistic, hateful, anti-democratic, ant-semetic, and corrupt. We need to expose this to the western world and get people to realize that NOT ALL CULTURES ARE EQUAL. Islam, if allowed will spread and destroy all Western values. In order to stop films like this we need to stop the spread of Islam. Period."
Though Wornick's Islamophobic screed was publicly exposed, the East Bay Jewish Federation took no action against him. There is no reason to believe they will do anything this time, either. Thus important pillars of the Jewish establishment continue to confirm Beinart's trenchant critique of them.
By the way, I have substantial criticisms of Beinart's book which I will make known in the days ahead and in a review for the Journal of Palestine Studies. Mark Levine seems to share my opinions. Read his excellent review at Al Jazeera English.
