"C'mon people now, smile on your brother
Everybody get together try to love one another – right now."
Lyrics, "Get Together," The Youngbloods
"[Thomas Sowell's book Migrations and Cultures] is a strong indictment of both affirmative action and multiculturalism. The former because it tends to be self-defeating, the latter because it discourages minorities from shedding old habits and adopting new and more functional habits."
James Michaels, Forbes, May 6, 1996.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Martin Luther King, Jr.
In the recent Inauguration festivities, occurring (as they always will) near Martin Luther King's birthday, America's obsession with race was once more on display.
Thus news reports noted a disproportionate number of African-Americans in attendance, and there were endless intertwinings of the Obama Presidency with Black civil rights.
Once again there was the nauseating self-congratulation at electing a "black" President (for explanation of the quote marks, see below). Civil rights icon John Lewis was front and center. An overjoyed person-on-the-street told CNN that he hoped there would be a series of milestones – female Prez., gay Prez., Hispanic Prez….how about secular Prez.? Won't happen anytime soon.
Time to shut up
The politics of racial identity will never go away. Race is the perennial subject of a national "conversation," because the race merchants and diversity mongers won't SHUT UP about it. Don't tell me it has to go on till there's not a racist thought or action in this great land. That'll never happen.
In the Annals of Political Hypocrisy, there's a place of honor for the politicians who proudly proclaim that we don't have "a Black America, a white America, a Republican or Democratic America (fill in your own list of adjectives)…but we are all one nation, indivisible."
Nice thought. What crap.
The very politicians who proclaim our supposed national unity then continue to undermine and destroy it by diving us into "races," institutionalizing the idiocy with lists of these artificial categories on census and other forms. How many times have you been confronted with those odious little lists and the little boxes you're supposed to check?
Sorry for the cheap shot, but the last society to be so obsessed with racial classification was the Third Reich.
We are urged to check the appropriate box and segment ourselves so that we can receive government goodies aimed at this or that "race." I've seen "Pacific Islander" and "Orthodox Jew" as "races."
Given that we now have an arsenal of laws against discrimination, I can't see how this is good for the country, this obsession with pigmentation and forced equality.
Vile cancer
These are vile cancers, undermining meritocracy, competence, and productivity in various ways: bilingualism, race-norming, African-American studies, ubiquitous employment and admissions quotas (I've seen the HR data charts), Corporate diversity councils and conferences, just for starters.
It's all accompanied by and cloaked in Orwellian jargon:
-- "inclusive" ( = preferences for blacks, Latinos [as self-defined; see below], and women),
-- "diverse" (same definition as previous),
-- "multi-cultural" ( = favoring the culture of the aforementioned groups),
-- "equal opportunity" ( = "we're gonna meet our quotas, come hell or high water"),
-- "diversity awareness training" (= "of course, we assume you're all bigots; we'll just rub your face in it and teach you to keep it to yourself"),
-- and my favorite, "people of color."
This last one is extremely slippery – see below – but seems to apply to African-Americans, Asians and self-defined Hispanics. The Asian Heritage celebration at the last corporation I worked for was embarrassing, including everybody from India and Pakistan to the Far East. That's about three billion people...and oh yeah, they're all SO proud to be Asian.
Enough already!
After a whole generation of affirmative action, haven't we achieved "diversity"? After a generation of preferences for "people of color" (ridiculous: we're ALL people of color, except maybe albinos), of making people today pay for the past sins of others, can we be done with it?
(I note in passing that the concepts of "hereditary guilt" and displaced punishment are firmly embedded in religion and thus come very easily to modern people. The Old Testament holds succeeding generations guilty for the sins of their ancestors. And the Big One: Jesus was scarificed to forgive everyone's guilt, forever and ever, at least for those who believe.)
Blacks and Hispanics (and women) now have a plethora of professional organizations that can help them get a leg up. Why don't they think that the perpetual double standard is demeaning and unacceptable?
White Attorneys Association?
I ask once again: Why can we not have a White Accountants or Attorneys Association? There's just as much diversity within the "white" groups as there is in the others.
I know the pat liberal answer: because that's what we had back when if you were white, you were all right, and just about every organization was whites-only. But is the remedy to commit the same crime as payback? For 300 years?
Companies waste a lot of time and money trying to get their numbers right. If you're the right color and gender, there's recruiting and mentoring for you (the corporation uses employees as unpaid recruiters). I never got any personal mentoring to accelerate my career. Wrong color, wrong gender.
No mas!
Most odious to me as a linguist is the encroachment of Spanish as a second national language. I know what happens to societies that have two or more competing languages for public life. They are tragically and permanently divided, because there's no better way to exclude someone than by speaking another language.
I think that when a caller presses 2 "para Espanol," he/she should hear this, in Spanish: "Pressing 2 means that you have obviously not taken the time to learn the language of your adopted country. Please hang up and call back when you are able to conduct business in English. Have a nice day."
Who's the "they"?
The media reflect this racial perception, with constant references to "the fast-growing Hispanic electorate." Well, yes, they have a high birthrate. But who's the "they"? There's no escaping the fact that their differences outweigh their similarities, although they bank on the latter for political advantage.
"Latinos" from a couple dozen countries, with wide genetic, linguistic, and cultural variation, band together as one "people" to get government preferences. Just one more snout in the public trough.
Affirmative action for the Irish?
No affirmative action or race-norming for Jews, thank you very much. Or any other group that's suffered persecution and discrimination in this nation's history. Would affirmative action for the Irish be in order, given what they endured? There was a time when they weren't even considered white!
And all of this despite the fact that race does not even exist as a biological/genetic reality! It is only a social and political construct.
"Races" are not real.
Jews are not a race, as has so often been argued, by Jews as well as those who would exterminate them. OK, there are two major gene pools, Ashkenazic (Eastern Europe, mainly Poland) and Sephardic (Southern Europe, mainly Spain). Culturally/religiously, they are two different sects, like Lutherans and Episcopalians.
And yes, there is a lot of intermarriage. Sometimes, living in the suburbs of Detroit, I thought that the entire metro Detroit Jewish community had sprung from just 100 families. They all sure looked like cousins.
But Jews are not a race. Genetically they are most like – guess who? – the people they live with. So an Ethiopian Jew is genetically more similar to another Ethiopian than to me. Duh!
{Aside: The whole inbreeding/intermarriage/pure blood thing has been a disaster for humanity, resulting, on a small scale, in what I call "Xerox errors" (or in my more cantankerous moments, "Jew diseases") like allergies or auto-immune ailments – systemic weaknesses of the body and resultant illnesses…and on a macro-scale, in a "march of folly," as one hereditary, "pure-blooded" hemophiliac royal idiot after another looted and screwed up his country -- or was so weak and retarded that other, power-hungry people stepped in and did the same.
How much of human folly can be traced to genetic disabilities from inbreeding? Just a thought. }
Impossibility of racial classifications
Guy Harrison eloquently makes the point about the impossibility of racial classifications in his book 50 popular beliefs people think are true (pp. 180-185). The so-called "races" in the layman's mind are arbitrary choice-points in a vast continuum of pigmentation, facial features, and other physical and genetic characteristics.
Harrison says that instead of trying to prove the existence of discrete races by putting a "Caucasian," an "Oriental," and a "Negro" side by side, what if you picked a Navaho, a Fijian, and an Ethiopian? Who belongs to what race?
He notes that "for something that is supposed to be obvious and commonplace, race is awfully difficult to pin down. The reason for this is clear: races are make believe. . . [A]s human-made categories and not natural biological categories, races are created and defined by the whim of culture."
Harrison cites the amazing conclusion, based on research on sub-Saharan genomes (paper published in Nature in 2010), that two bushmen from two villages within walking distance are genetically more different from each other than from a Japanese or a Korean! I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that one.
Harrison concludes that "The truth before us is clear, if we choose to recognize it. Our species simply does not accommodate naturally occurring race borders between vast groups of people. Cultures have created and artificially imposed them. The fact that so much death, cruelty, suffering, and social inefficiency has been caused by this delusion demands that we finally accept the reality of who we are and abandon [the belief in discrete races]."
But noooooooo.
Political behavior is based on images, perceptions, and feelings, not scientific data and facts.
Is Obama Black?
Most ridiculous and nauseating of all is the hoopla and self-congratulation over that fact that America is finally enlightened enough to elect a Black President. Woweee!
Except he's not an American Black; he's LITERALLY an African-American, not at all related, by history, culture, or genetics, to the people who today call themselves "African-Americans."
Once again we see the arbitrariness of racial classification. I find it amusing that there is a real, if somewhat nutty, controversy over his birthplace – but not a peep over whether he is "really" black.
Not only does he lack the American Black experience (smoking dope at the elite Punahou School in Hawaii doesn't count)…but East Africans, including Obama's Kenyan father, are very different from the West Africans who made up the slave population. But he's got the color – and no accent, either, and that's good enough.
Sports and "race"
In sports, supposedly the ultimate meritocracy, the concept of racial superiority/inferiority in this or that sport is refuted by massive research that explains ethnic sports performance in terms of social and cultural factors, not to mention a ton of hard work by individual performers.
Michael Jordan is my favorite example. I was in Chicago for the glorious 90s – six NBA Championships in eight years! Few people recall that he was actually cut from his high school team. He could have quit basketball right there. But Michael, tall and gifted, also had a prodigious work ethic. (So did "white" Larry Bird.) He added dimensions to his game as he matured. He practiced long after others had quit.
Superstition dies hard.
Sometimes even centuries of scientific proof are not enough, as we see in the pathetic but tenacious efforts by religious believers to cling to their fairy tales. I find it incredible that in 2013, huge numbers of people believe that the Book of Genesis actually describes the creation of the universe. They reinforce their fantasies by building religious museums and theme parks and, now, a life-sized model of Noah's Ark.
The spurious concept of "race" will likewise endure, even in the face of new knowledge that tells us that there is only one race – the human race – with an infinitude of variations.
Verdict of science
Interestingly, religion and science agree that there is a "brotherhood of humanity." But once again, the two diverge sharply in reality. With religion, it's just lip service, usually – and hypocritically -- accompanied by commands to ostracize or murder those who look different.
But the verdict of science supports the humanistic point of view: we are one species.

Just because your ideas are wildly impractical doesn't mean they're not good.
I emphatically agree that education, of a very different kind, is desirable. As you may know, it wasn't until my college honors thesis -- and only by accident, because I chose to analyze literary dialect in the writings of black authors -- that I found out how blacks had been treated in our great country for 100 years after the Civil War, which I thought had solved the problem of racism, forever. Silly boy.
I know about the Jewish (even in my day) quotas and wouldn't be surprised to learn that there are quotas for Asians too. Colleges want many things besides smarts from their students. Very few proudly tout their reputations for learning above all else (e.g., The University of Chicago, "where fun goes to die"), so forget about intellectual meritocracy.
Critical thinking is something many institutions promise but never deliver. Maybe the professors are too left-wing. If people were skilled in critical thinking. important institutions (religion, politics, sports) would be challenged, and we wouldn't spend $12 billion on Super Bowl consumer goods and food (just heard it on CNN).
I'm lacking in perspicacity...?
Hear, hear on the quality of debate at A/N. In all too many forums, people post vile things anonymously.
Take a look at the Thomas Sowell link on my latest post. He's an economist who's done exhaustive research on race, ethnicity, and achievement, and he's one of AA's most articulate critics. And he's black!!
I think the negative reaction to your article is in part due to the delicacy of the issue and in part due to the lack of typical Alan Perlman mother of all linguists, perspicacity.
While I remain ambivalent about AA if a gun was put to my foot I'd probably reject AA. Harvard University used to have quotas limiting the number of Jews it would admit. I wonder whether there are universities today limiting the number of Asians it will admit. This is a form of these guys are smarter than the rest of us and we aint too crazy about their kind discrimination. In some ways a meritocracy is the best of all possible imperfect worlds.
I offer a solution to the general issue of racism. There is nearly zero chance of its effectuation. We should have an encylopedia of religious harm. We should look at our own history critically. We should teach children how to think critically. We should deem childhood indoctrination (before the age of reason) a form of child abuse. Aint none of what ought to happen gonna happen.
As an aside, seems to me that the atheists on this site are generally more thoughtful, intelligent, and ethical than the population at large. This aint a bad place to test one's ideas in a free marketplace of ideas.
Once again, thanks for your thoughtful comments. I loved "monkeys with machine guns."
As regards sports, you and I are definitely on the same page. Super Bowl tickets cost (I think) $600, and that's without scalping.
Racism is real, and we should not shut up about it. But that wasn't the title of the post.
As I looked through the comments, I saw that I was being accused of racism, callousness, and worse.
People!! I object to affirmative action, compulsory quotas based only on ethnicity and gender (profoundly anti-humanistic), artificial classification, and self-congratulation on the success of an individual who's black, Hispanic or a member of some other "protected class" (again, what about Lithuanians or Cambodians?) -- regardless of quaifications or competence. You may not care if the success of your enterprise is undermined by underqualified AA cases, but I do.
I totally agree with paragraph 4 and 5.
Your point on Jews/Irish vs. blacks is well taken. But recall that both (and other) groups suffered terribly in what was then a virulently racist America. Jews weren't immune to lynching - remember Leo Frank? And, as devil's advocate, I would point out that blacks have done better in America than anywhere else in the world, including Haiti, which has been independent almost as long as the US.
One of the problems of monkeys with machine guns is over-identification. Our biological heritage causes us to be tribal. Humans identify with their groups way too much. Over-identification is the sine qua non of nationalism, religion, racism and even spectator sports.
Any educated individual can prattle on for hours about the evil of the aforementioned. I mean if sports fans were not so damn zealous ticket prices would be reasonable and some of those groupies might be on the market for us regular guys. Oh yeah and maybe some of the trampled to death fans at soccer stadiums would well, not be trampled to death.
In the matter of racism in America should we keep quiet about it because race is a social construct, not a real phenomenon? Or should we examine racism, make its etiology and its history known? I think it is the latter. It is time for education in America to get real. We need american education to inculcate critical thinking and critical studies.
Understanding the physiology, sociology, history and impact of racism will encourage children to break with their racist parents and greater culture. The over-identification of their parents with their own race and the demonization of other races will be rejected. And when young'ns reject the concomitant evil in prohibition against miscegenation we will have greater flavor in our citizens. "Purebreds will be the exception and there will be less opportunity for ingroups.
Ultimately the playing field will even out. Ignoring racism simply gives the ingroups carte blanche to willy whale hump the rest.
It is unfair to compare blacks who came to america in chains and endured slavery with Jews and Irish who came here for a better life. I dont feel like expanding on this thought.
Glen, We'll agree to disagree on whatever point of language we disagree on. See my explanation of grammar vs. lexicon.
Why do you think I have something against Hispanics? It's just that they're such a big target. What other group is so blatantly and artificially self-created for the purpose of political advantage? What other group (aside from blacks, women, and assorted "people of color") thinks that "diversity" means "more like me"? We don't have this problem with Albanians or Lithuanians or Kazakhs or Morroccans in the US.
I am actually FOR multiculturalism, literally. We're already multicultural. Just let it happen. Some ethnic groups may gravitate to some fields and occupations. So what?
Alan I stand by my straw. Have a thousand readers comment on the article as is and another thousand who read revised version with the spanish stuff expunged and see favorable impression in control group. Unless of course the tea baggers are in control group.
I dont think you are xenophobic. I think you are all over egalitarianism, just think your idea re english is incorrect, at least as it was initially presented.
My great grandfather was ashkenazic revolutionary who escaped from Czarist prison.
Certainly it is problematic to put people in a stereotype based on their genetics. But while it can (and often is) reduced, it is unlikely that will ever completely disappear. We evolved as social animals with a sense of in-group and out-group. Now exactly what constitutes 'in group' is something that we may learn as children, or we may learn through good or bad experiences, but the instinct to categorize is there. You cannot completely educate that away. And you CERTAINLY can't stop it through government intervention.
But there is a big difference between mistreating people on account of their genetics/religion/language and simply acknowledging that we are primates with millions of years of natural selection behind us.
Similarly 'sexism'. We are mammals, and mammals, perhaps more than many other animal forms, have significantly different behaviors between the sexes. This is NOT accidental, it's the product of long evolved reproductive strategies. What works out for males does not for females and vice versa.
The issue of aggressiveness was brought up. In virtually all mammals (and certainly primates), males are more aggressive. This is not a social construct (if anyone doubts that, I invite you to try to manage a bull the same way you do a cow). People, even enlightened ones, do perceive women and men differently (recent neurological testing has demonstrated this). So, through experience, and perhaps some instinct, we expect somewhat different behaviors. An (unskillfully) aggressive woman may be perceived as harsh, in much the same way that a passive man would likely be perceived as weak.
We have largely eliminated the legal differentiation between males and females (as well we should) but we should hardly be surprised that underneath it all, we still have the same primate brain. Eliminating the legal differentiation, or preaching an ideology does not change who we are.
It's true that we have gone through a genetic bottleneck 70K ago, but there is a lot of room for variation in that time. Dogs split off from wolves much more recently than that, and different breeds of dogs are significantly different in behavior and size even though they are still a single species. The very measurable shift in IQ in Ashkanazi Jews seems to have occurred during the middle ages. The IQ peaks in some Asian groups is probably much older, but certainly not reaching back to the bottleneck time.
The right approach is not to pre-judge any person (because remarkable people can come from ANY background) but it is not necessarily (and is indeed futile) to argue that background magically has no statistical effect, when it plainly does for all kinds of animals.
Glen, Glen, Glen...You create a huge straw man (forced assimilaton) and proceed to burn it down with great (if misplaced) glee.
My argument for one national, public language is based on considerations of practicality and social cohesion. You object to those? People can speak any language they like. It's a free country. You want to put Spanish subtitles on our money...that's where I draw the line ;)
I am only two generations removed from Ashkenazic Jewish peasants who fled here to escape the pogroms and compulsory service in the Czar's army. How could I be xenpophobic and anti-immigration. I'm one of those people who believe that one of the major reasons for America's success is the self-selection of motivated, risk-taking people to come here and start anew.
PS. to S/B: I agree that Obama, whatever his claims to Negritude, couldn't have been elected even 25 years ago. And there are plenty of people today who hate him for his color (and his middle name).
To S/B: Thanks as always for your thoughtful comments. Please see my reply to other commentators re race (doesn't exist) and racism (definitely does exist and must somehow be eradicated).
On language, it's important to distinguish vocabulary from grammar. The structure of English has changed over the centuries, but not because of the influence of other languages. Change is endogenous. English has always been a Germanic language, historically related, in its structure and basic vocabulary, to Dutch, German, and the Scandinavian languages.
But lexicon is another story entirely. We have "loan words" from a hundred languages. There's a big difference between using Spanish words (rodeo, barbecue) and Spanish grammar.
There was a huge influx of French (and, later, Latinate) words after the Norman conquest, but they're now so totally embedded that they seem totally English.
Of course, it's not always as clear-cut as that. "Spanglish" does switch back and forth, even in the same utterance. And in many societies, there are different languages for different settings and purposes (when people do this, they're "code-switching").

(IOU)Death Novice Champions of Stuff Thursday 15/03/2007, 01:38
Okay I just started within 15 minutes of writing this, played 3 battles, lost 2, tied 1
Here's my deck (Please don't laugh at it.)
Venus,Maeva, Noon Stevens, Melluzine, Brandon, Flo, Meyen. Acid DC
All of the characters are under level 2 by the way.
So what should be a battle plan.
P.S. I'm selling Venus...
6SimS-Sven Master UTOPiA Thursday 15/03/2007, 08:48
Note, (IOU)Death cannot sell his/her characters on the market neither publicly nor privately (has not purchased any credits)
a better advice is to get all the daily tourneys(currently there is 4)...making it into the half gives you a credit...so if you can have 20 credits you could somehow get cards..
Obey Giant Imperator Thursday 15/03/2007, 10:18
My advise.battle alot and Evolve your cards they not the best but they could get better...you could stand a better chance of winning then...see what cards you like in your deck and use that clans...start fighting and building clintz its going to take a while but its fun
soldier on
zacharias Senior Sunday 18/03/2007, 11:18
Go and battle in every tournament so you get some credits, and then buy a pack, that is my advise
Collector_HM Guru Pit Viper Sunday 18/03/2007, 13:47
Heres my advice dont take advice, rather play ur own learn ur own strategy play at ur way so no one can beat u thats wat i did
Prysm CCU Guru Sunday 18/03/2007, 15:58
Lol, that's a good idea Nate, here, it's a competition, even though we're all helpful to an extent, it's still that a competition. You're like the enemy, a weak enemy but an enemy nonetheless. If you can't buy any cards i'll give you a couple so you can get a deck started but don't ask for help lol you have to learn on your own

Any ideas?
I checked google, found nothing. clicked "search the message board" and i guess thats for searching players?
Yes I belong to th newbs, maybe one day I will exit newbville and know what Im doing in this game. Anyway, I want to specialize in berzerks, maximum pain has always been my game in any video game I have played, plus...their animation for kos is cool haha.
Since I just started a couple days ago, my deck is terrible, I do in fact have 4 of the clans. Go me .
They are a combined worth of...800 clints? haha.
the rest are from other clans.
So What cards would you reccommend I shoot for? I got a couple rare cards from a pack. So I can afford cards from..maybe 2-4k worth. Also, I read that sometimes people combine 2 clans together for better effect?
Sorry if this post is ridiculous, lame, stupid etc. Just lookin for some help
I obviously have no idea what I am doing yet ha.
Snowy Hutson Titan Masters of Battle Thursday 31/01/2013, 07:13
Melanie, Roger, Sprinter (personal preference), Lola Noel, or Lola.
On the other hand, I may not be the best source since I just got into he Berzerk. So far, I have used them with either Uppers or GHEIST. (4 cards are Berzerk, the other 4 are either Uppers or GHEIST). I mainly like them for their highish power (Well, high compared to Rescue, which was my 'original' clan) and unreducable bonus.
Now, it is true that some people will combine clans for more card options and deck synergy. For example, if you want to have high damage deck, you could try the ever annoying La Junta or Fang Pi Clang in a half deck (4 cards are bezerk, 4 cards are Fang Pi or La Junta). You could also do the 6/2 or 7/1 split, but they are much rarer. Theproblem with split decks is that your bonuses will not activate if you don't have two cards from the same clan.
PS. I'm assuming you know how to build a deck using the My Deck button under Collection.
PVTPeterson623 Guru Thursday 31/01/2013, 20:46
Alright thanks, using what you said I made this:
Lola Noel
Thats bout it for now. Waiting for some cards to sell and ill put it lola and roger when I can afford them. Gonna try pure berzerk for now. Then I might go for la junta or fang pi with the berzerk and see how it goes.
Thanks for the help. If anyone has differing ideas, feel free to post them
Pilluminati Imperator URBAN MADNESS Friday 01/02/2013, 23:09
One of those drummond need to go..replace it with miho or something,then esther can be bumped up to hilly billy(and if you want,work your way up to taylor,or even cortez).

SALT LAKE CITY — A thoroughfare filled with murals had previously attempted to connect the Jackson and Gadualupe neighborhoods in Salt Lake City. It is now being used to build a bridge of peace and understanding between two countries.
The program Bridge over Barriers invited Iraqi high school students and their host families Tuesday to participate in painting a mural design under the bridge at 300 N. 700 West, in hopes of combating stereotypes and closing the gap between cultures.
"As you know, the American society is the open minded people (and) there's a lot of needs in my society, yet I want to learn more from the American society and copy this experience to my community," said 16-year old Abdullah, who along with the rest of the students asked that their last names not be used.
The Utah Council for Citizen Diplomacy and the Iraqi Youth Leaders Exchange Program chose 64 English-speaking Iraqi students to participate in a four-week youth leadership exchange program that started in Washington D.C. and later placed them in seven cities throughout the country.
Salt Lake City participated for the first time by hosting 10 students and placing them with families of Salt Lake high school students, who gathered to work together and get to know each other while painting the mural Tuesday.
Abdullah's family had previously visited the United States and had described the country to him. But nothing his parents said could have prepared the teenager.
"I was telling myself, 'This is America, am I dreaming?'" he said. "Everything is cool (and) the streets are clear, clean, everything is beautiful. Oh! I will stay here, just kidding."
Zahraa, 15, wants to improve her leadership skills while experiencing different cultures.
"I want to improve everything in Iraq," said the teenage girl. "I want to make our voices be heard and I want to have freedom in Iraq, just like here in America."
The Iraqi students did not look past liberties that are usually taken for granted.
"People are free to do anything, free to behave the way they like, free to talk the way they like," she said. "In Iraq, you don't have the right to talk about yourself (and) about how you feel."
The Iraqi Youth Leaders Exchange Program, which is sponsored and funded by the U.S. Department of State through the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, has had 200 alumni in the past several years. The program has helped eliminate many stereotypes among the students.
"I am not even feeling homesick because I really feel like they're my family," Zahraa said of his host family. "My host sister treated me like her own real sister."
Sarah Mian, 18, and her Pakistani family are hosting Zahraa and 18-year old Rana. "Having them here is just the most humbling experience in my life," Mian said.
Mian said she, too, has been able to break stereotypes previously instilled in her.
"They are more intelligent, advanced then even the Western world. Here, (they) have so much knowledge that no one else has, so much truth that we are all yearning to search for," Mian said. "Them exposing that to us is the most gracious gift."
Mian, who is hoping to go to medical school in Pakistan, still sees tension between the Eastern and Western cultures in Salt Lake City and believes that the more exposure people get in an artistic manner, the better it will be for all cultures.
"The more we talk face to face, and we don't rely on the media and the news and the things that people are telling us and not really explaining to us, the more we will understand who these people are and why there is nothing wrong with them," she said. "They are just like you and me and maybe they have more to give us. We have something to give them, too."
Yusur, a 15-year-old who choose to cover herself with a veil and wear sunglasses to shade her face, said she believes that a bridge can be created between Iraq and the United States, but not at the expense of losing her culture and religious beliefs.
"My opinion before I got here was that life here was very easy and easier then Iraq," Yusur said. "I was thinking that Iraq is a hard country to live in and that America was easy, but I discovered that no, America is very hard to live (in)."
Life is harder, she believes, because of the variety of different cultures.
Because her family is not here and because she is a girl, she feels an obligation to keep her traditions and customs.
Elise Grizzel, 15, expected the Iraqi students to be much more conservative and was surprised at how much English they speak. She and her host sister Yusur are very different.
"She (Yusur) is almost like a newborn baby to this culture," Elise said. "It's amazing watching her adjust and try to expand herself. I think she is having a hard time because she is trying to stay with her past and her culture. But, the more I get to know her, the more I understand why."
Fifteen-year old Shadan said she has realized that there are more similarities between Iraqis and Americans than there are differences.
"Before I came here (to the United States) I didn't know the world had so many different cultures," she said. "It is nice to know that even though I am different and from a different country, I am still human. I have the same rights (as) everyone in the world."
Once Shadan returns home, she said the first thing she wants to tell her parent is that Iraq needs change.
"We need change in our lives," she said. "We need more freedom, definitely. We need to start working on things, you know?"

In 2005, I wrote that "Integers represent a growing and underestimated source of vulnerabilities in C and C++ programs" as the lead sentence in the "Integer Security" chapter of Secure Coding in C and C++. This prediction has been borne out in a recent study published by MITRE on the types of errors that lead to publicly reported vulnerabilities. "Integer overflows, barely in the top 10 overall in the past few years, are in the top 3 for OS vendor advisories".
An Integer Story
A vulnerability in bash versions 1.14.6 and earlier that resulted in the release of CERT Advisory CA-1996-22 provides an example of a programming error resulting from the incorrect use of integers.
The GNU Project's Bourne Again Shell (bash) is a drop-in replacement for the UNIX Bourne shell (/bin/sh). It has the same syntax as the standard shell but provides additional functionality such as job control, command-line editing, and history. Although bash can be compiled and installed on almost any UNIX platform, its most prevalent use is on Linux, where it has been installed as the default shell for most applications. The bash source code is freely available from many sites on the Internet.
There is a variable declaration error in the yy_string_get() function in the parse.y module of the bash source code:
static int yy_string_get() { register char *string; register int c; string = bash_input.location.string; c = EOF; /* If the string doesn't exist, or is empty, EOF found. */ if (string && *string) { c = *string++; bash_input.location.string = string; } return (c); }
This function is responsible for parsing the user-provided command line into separate tokens. The error involves the variable string, which has been declared to be of type char *.
The string variable is used to traverse the character string containing the command line to be parsed. As characters are retrieved from this pointer, they are stored in a variable of type int. For compilers in which the char type defaults to signed char, this value is sign-extended when assigned to the int variable. For character code 255 decimal (-1 in two's complement form), this sign extension results in the value -1 being assigned to the integer.
However, -1 is used in other parts of the parser to indicate the end of a command. Thus, the character code 255 decimal (377 octal) serves as an unintended command separator for commands given to bash via the -c option. For example:
bash -c 'ls\377who'
(where \377 represents the single character with value 255 decimal) will execute two commands, ls and who.
This example is interesting in that the vulnerability is entirely the result of an error in handling an integer value. More commonly, integer errors result in vulnerabilities by causing an exploitable buffer overflow.

Great covers
I'm sure this is covered at least twice a week on this forum, but does anyone know any really great covers? Saw TVotR doing Mr Grieves the other day and it was great, inspired me to do a blog post. Oddly, it didn't even make the list.
Anyway, most covers are shit, but if you know any great ones please share.
Come on, there are too many to know where to begin
But go on, how about Kangeroo by Big Star. covered by This Mortal Coil and then Jeff Buckley. Each version is amazing.

Sophien Kamoun
Sophien Kamoun received his Maitrise (B.S.) degree from Pierre and Marie Curie University, Paris, France, in 1987 and his Ph.D. degree in genetics in 1991 from the University of California, Davis, where he conducted his research in the Department of Plant Pathology. Following postdoctoral studies at the NSF Center for Engineering Plants for Resistance Against Pathogens at Davis and at the Department of Phytopathology, Wageningen University, The Netherlands, Dr. Kamoun joined the Department of Plant Pathology, Wooster campus, at The Ohio State University in 1998. His research program is focused on oomycete molecular genetics, and he was promoted to associate professor in 2002.
Dr. Kamoun has made outstanding contributions to the science of plant pathology that have been described in more than 50 journal articles and book chapters. His research at Ohio State is aimed at understanding the molecular basis of interactions between oomycete pathogens and plants. He has rapidly become a global leader on oomycete molecular genetics and genomics and has opened many new research fronts. He pioneered the study of nonhost resistance of Nicotiana and Arabidopsis to Phytophthora infestans. A major accomplishment included the cloning and characterization of a multigene family of P. infestans encoding extracellular elicitor proteins. These proteins, called elicitins, induce the hypersensitive response in some plant species, and he showed that recognition of the major elicitin, INF1, is a component of nonhost resistance. This work has greatly influenced many scientists working on the molecular genetics of Phytophthora– plant interactions and in basic studies on the hypersensitive response of plants.
Dr. Kamoun's laboratory has also been involved in pioneering studies in genomics and functional genomics of Phytophthora. In 1998, he published the first functional analysis of a Phytophthora gene, and his laboratory is performing similar gene silencing analyses with other putative avirulence/virulence genes. Recent contributions in functional genomics have revolved around developing data mining algorithms and high throughput functional assays that link sequences to phenotypes for Phytophthora genes and facilitate the discovery of novel Phytophthora effector proteins. Dr. Kamoun also pioneered the use of in planta functional analyses of Phytophthora genes using virus vectors. His research is currently supported by the NSF Plant Genome Program.
Dr. Kamoun's early research focused on genetic analysis of the pathogenicity of Xanthomonas campestris and included characterization of a pathogenicity locus of the hrp class, discovery of a phenotypic switching phenomenon, and the development of novel strategies for refined genetic manipulations of xanthomonads. Dr. Kamoun also was one of the first to recognize and classify races of the crucifer pathogen X. campestris pv. campestris. His knowledge and expertise is in much demand around the world. Over the years, he has offered more than 60 invited seminars and presentations at national and international venues, has served as a panel member in the USDA-NRI program, currently serves as a senior editor for Molecular Plant Pathology, as an associate editor for Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, and is on the advisory committee of the NSF Potato Genome Project and the NSF Phytophthora Collaboration Network. At Ohio State, he has organized two international workshops on oomycete genetics, and there is a steady stream of international scholars visiting his laboratory.
In addition to his research, Dr. Kamoun is highly committed to the education of students in the areas of genetics, molecular biology, and genomics. He and colleagues developed and co-teach two upper-level graduate courses at Ohio State: Agricultural Genomics— Principles and Applications and Plant–Microbe Interactions. Both courses aim at exposing students to modern research themes in these areas. In addition, he has organized and managed an interactive website for agricultural genomics that has been heavily used by students. Three of Dr. Kamoun's graduate students have won travel and research awards, including a first-place award for a research poster at the International Congress of Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions in Madison, Wisconsin, in 2002.
Dr. Kamoun has a continuing interest in and commitment to training undergraduate and high school students from diverse backgrounds and in involving underrepresented groups in molecular plant pathology research. Several undergraduate interns from multiple institutions and students from Wooster High School have conducted internships in his laboratory and received training in molecular biology, plant biology, and bioinformatics. Undergraduate students have often coauthored his publications, and several have moved on to graduate studies. Dr. Kamoun also organizes a summer program, entitled Internships in Plant Immunity, that promotes the use of plant–microbe interaction systems in research and teaching at minority institutions. He serves on The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences Diversity Advisory Council and contributes to the outreach efforts of his department in the area of biotechnology education.

"Omahan Tony Bakhit shares a special connection to Jesus," writes Lisa Maxson in the Catholic Voice, newspaper of the Archdiocese of Omaha, Neb. "His birthday is Dec. 25. And he was born in Bethlehem."
When he lived in Bethlehem, Bakhit attended Mass at the Church of the Nativity with his family until he was about 11 years old. Tradition holds that the church is built over the spot where Jesus was born.
In the Pittsburgh Diocese, the 7-year-old sextuplets of Joe and Erin Perry, along with their 11-year-old brother, Parker, are anxiously awaiting Santa's visit to their Ohio Township house this evening.

Caggeso to take polar plunge
Larry Caggeso of Ridgway will be jumping into the Allegheny River for 30 seconds this Sunday, Dec. 11, as a part of the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics in the Allegheny River. Caggeso has been involved in polar plunges for two years. His first plunge was in Conneaut Lake in Ohio with his son, Michael Caggeso. "My first year was in Conneaut Lake, and it was one of the first times in many years the lake froze over," Caggeso said. "They had to bring in a back how to cut a hole for us to jump into."Caggeso and his son are part of a seven-person team called the Allegheny River Rats who assist in raising monies for the foundation. "You have a goal of $1,000, and our team has already surpassed that," Caggeso said. "The proceeds go to the Pennsylvania Special Olympics and help those with special needs who are mentally and physically disabled."Joining the polar plunges was an effort to support his niece Marie Emanuele who suffers from Down syndrome. "My niece is a child with Down syndrome," Caggeso said. "Through this she has participated in riding horses and has learned equestrian skills, and it really makes me happy to see her do that."Caggeso asks anyone wishing to donate to the Special Olympics please make checks payable to Larry Caggeso and mail to CNB Bank, c/o Special Olympics, PO Box 156, Ridgway, PA 15853.Pick up a copy of the Friday, Dec. 9, 2011 edition of The Ridgway Record for more.

Ann Hicks, Toni Crawford, Wilfredo Gonzalez, Luther Coggin, Judith Solano, BruceTaylor
Tom Foran, Carol Thompson
Chair Hicks called the meeting to order. She asked for a motion to approve the minutes. The motion was offered and the minutes were approved unanimously.
Vice President Serwatka stated that the intent of this item was to change the name of the UNF Graduate Studies program to the UNF Graduate School. Graduate School was a common title used at many universities when a sufficient number of programs existed to justify a separate school. He included that most other universities represented their graduate programs/schools with this title – exceptions were the University of West Florida and Florida Gulf Coast University. This change would also add prestige to UNF's graduate programs.
Vice President Serwatka stated that everything was in place to support a separate Graduate School – a graduate dean, the Office of Graduate Studies, a graduate council and an appropriately staffed graduate faculty. He stated that the Graduate School would be accountable for appointing these faculty members and maintaining policies and regulations governing this school.
President Delaney requested clarification regarding the Board's role in approving this item. Vice President Serwatka stated that it was past practice for UNF to invite the Board to review this and other similar issues.
Trustee Thompson asked for clarification regarding the alignment, within the University, for the Graduate School – would the dean's position in the Graduate School be exclusive to this capacity or would other functions be included. President Delaney stated that the current plan was to align the Graduate School with Academic Affairs and include the dean as part of the Academic Affairs staff. Trustee Solano offered her support for this approach.
President Delaney stated that the name change was nomenclature. The Graduate School would continue to operate under the same guidelines as before.
Vice President Serwatka stated that the Graduate School would be seated over all individual graduate programs, providing resources, editorial assistance, research assistance, etc.
Acting Provost Mark Workman commented on the appeal of having a Graduate School, stating that this created opportunity to distribute resources more effectively and create equitable relationships between colleges.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve this name change – UNF Graduate Studies to UNF Graduate School. This motion was brought forth, seconded and unanimously passed.
Provost Workman stated that based upon certain assumptions, projections and historical data, included in the meeting materials, UNF was considering adding two new doctoral programs, one being a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree.
President Delaney stated that the industry now demanded that a physical therapist have a doctoral degree. Without offering this, UNF would have no reason to continue this program.
This discussion continued, addressing the Board of Governors (BOG) and their support of additional doctoral programs within the SUS. Vice President Serwatka stated that the BOG was reluctant to approve doctoral programs and was providing more support for baccalaureate programs.
Trustee Gonzalez asked if the BOG would be sensitive to the growth pattern within universities when making decisions about doctoral programs. President Delaney stated that the current mindset of the BOG was to dissuade additional doctoral programs but hope was that this would evolve.
Trustee Gonzalez stated that in order for an area to retain a work force with specialized training, a local doctoral program was imperative. If students left the area to pursue doctoral degrees, they would most likely secure employment in the areas where they received these degrees. Provost Workman stated that UNF was meeting the expectations of the BOG in doctoral and baccalaureate programs but perhaps, not the needs of the community.
Trustee Thompson suggested that UNF review the incentives of the flagship program in nursing, considering the growth in the healthcare field and compare this to State incentives.
Chair Hicks concluded this item, stating that this was brought to the committee for review only. No additional action was necessary.
Vice President Serwatka stated that this policy codified the way tuition waivers were allocated. He stated that this year, tuition waivers had been funded at slightly more than $1 million and this amount grew yearly based on enrollment and tuition costs.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the Tuition Waiver Policy. The motion was offered, seconded and approved unanimously.
Vice President Stone stated that there were five changes being presented regarding the BOT Bylaws – the cycle or timing for electing Board officers (officers would be elected in January); clarity on the role of the Board chair, making it more consistent with University practices (the role of the chair was rewritten to address committee appointments and committee chair appointments, assigning this responsibility to the Board chair); deleting any language referencing annual Board meetings; additional language substantiating that the Board chair appoint a trustee, with applicable financial knowledge necessary to serve as chair of the FAC.
Chair Hicks asked for a motion to approve the proposed bylaw amendments. The motion was offered and seconded. The motion was passed unanimously.
Associate Vice President Kaye stated that current enrollment numbers exceeded expectations.
President Delaney stated that anticipated enrollment would include students with higher SAT scores and GPA averages and future growth would be slowed allowing the number of faculty to catch up with the number of students. Associate Vice President Kaye stated that the number of freshmen students would also be reduced to accommodate the need for additional faculty.
Associate Vice President Kaye stated that minority growth had increased – particularly African American. President Delaney stated that this was accomplished even though there had been an overall drop in enrollment across the State of Florida.
Associate Vice President Kaye stated that the latest academic profile for an incoming freshman was a 3.59 GPA. The SAT scores were higher and this was attributable to the recent increase in Merit Scholarships. President Delaney clarified that this was the inaugural year for the Presidential Merit Scholarship – these funds were released this academic year.
This discussion continued, addressing future head count and class shape. The intent was for future enrollment to target transfer and graduate students; thus, maintaining or elevating the existing student profile.
Associate Vice President Kaye provided an overview of the current recruitment materials and presented the committee members with a sample of these items.
This discussion continued by presenting a summary of newly created support systems for Enrollment Services which were the One-Stop-Shop, Week-of-Welcome and the Advising Task Force. Associate Vice President Kaye referred to documents she provided, outlining and summarizing financial aid dollars and enrollment – past, present and future.
Provost Workman stated that UNF faculty came from a broad range of institutions and were recruited by systematic national searches. Progress had been made in achieving diversity, both in recruiting and appointing new faculty. He added that faculty salaries needed to be commensurate with the industry averages in order to attract and retain minority faculty – salaries of existing faculty also needed to be equitable.
Provost Workman addressed the impending search for a new director of the library, stating that the pool had been narrowed to five candidates. He included that the positive synergy between the University and the City of Jacksonville might enhance the recruiting class for the new director.
Provost Workman provided an update on the newly created research position for Associate Vice President for Research.
Attention was turned to the search for a dean of the Graduate School. Vice President Serwatka stated that this search would be deferred, pending the definition of structure and alignment.
Considering time constraints, this item was deferred to the next meeting.
Chair Hicks asked for further remarks or questions and, having none, adjourned the meeting.

Blinkenlights Arcade (2002), Bibliothèque nationale de France, Paris, France
Arcade was the second interactive light installation of Project Blinkenlights. Following up on the original Blinkenlights installation in Berlin, Arcade marks a new step in interactive light installations in public space.
In the context of the Nuit Blanche art festival in Paris, the team transformed the Tower T2 of the Bibliothèque nationale de France into a huge computer screen. With a matrix of 20 x 26 windows (resulting in 520 directly addressable pixels) and a size of 3370m2, the Arcade installation was positioned to be world's biggest computer screen ever.
Eleven Nights
The installation started on September 25th, 2002 running eleven nights until the official Nuit Blanche happening at October 5th/6th. During this time span, the installation presented an ever-changing kaleidoscope of animations and interactive applications.
Arcade promoted a new series of classic computer games to run on the building, allowing everybody to play games on the building. Among others, the all-time favorite pixel puzzle game Tetris could be played using nothing but a mobile phone.
With its newly designed light control technology, the Blinkenlights team was able to smoothly dim the brightness of each pixel. This allowed for sophisticated, large-scale animations glowing into the Paris night life.
Public Participation
Using the newly created ArcadePaint program - running on Mac OS and Windows operating systems - everybody could start creating his own pictures and animations immediately. The resulting files could be sent in by e-mail to become part of the ever-growing playlist of animations to be displayed during the lifespan of Arcade.
Programmers had the opportunity to create animations directly by creating the simple, XML-based file format, which is a natural evolution of the original Blinkenlights Movies file format. You can access all necessary information on our Developers' Page.
Documentation Video
We have created a wonderful documentation video of our Arcade project. You can see it right here but you can also download a high-resolution version on our video page.

New Loyola grant focuses on helping vulnerable Louisiana, Mississippi families
Subscribe to our Newsroom RSS feed | What is RSS?
Follow Loyola University New Orleans on Twitter
Loyola press release - March 10, 2014
The Jesuit Social Research Institute at Loyola University New Orleans recently received a $200,000 grant to enhance its efforts helping some of the poorest and most vulnerable families in Louisiana and Mississippi.
The grant, awarded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, will fund a multi-pronged approach designed to head off the most pressing economic injustices low-income people face locally, including unscrupulous payday lending practices and poor health care, to name a few. Funding for the project is provided from Feb. 1, 2014 to Jan. 31, 2016.
The goals of the grant-funded approach, the newly formed Economic Justice for Vulnerable Children and Families project, are to allow Loyola's Jesuit Social Research Institute to expand work on economic justice with a keener focus on financial inequities, their racial connections and the impact on the region's vulnerable children. At the same time, the institute will provide in-depth economic research and analysis to support advocacy efforts as well as citizen education, faith and community engagement.
Specifically, the project will allow the Jesuit Social Research Institute to:
- expand its resources to educate the public on the negative impact of payday lending, which targets 60,000 low-income families in Louisiana each year with its high-cost and high-fee loans that promise fast cash;
- support the work of interfaith and civic groups to improve the low rankings of Louisiana and Mississippi (No. 46 and 49, respectively) in the Kids Count index, which measures the well-being of children in America, including infant mortality, children living in poverty and children living in single-parent homes;
- support policies to reduce anti-immigrant sentiment responsible for putting nearly 2 million immigrants, including children, at risk and driving them into the shadows every year;
- work to reform the current tax structure, which results in millions of poor families paying higher taxes than many middle- and upper-income families; and
- provide fiscal analysis and public education to improve health care for low-income parents and their children, resulting in more secure families, more regular work, and less family spending for catastrophic illnesses and other care.
"JSRI is not going to cure all these problems, but this focus on economic security means that if low- and moderate-income families were free of payday usury, paid lower taxes and had Medicaid coverage, while immigrants were paid just wages and were free of fear, these families would have more economic resources to meet their own needs. As the Catholic Church has put it, these families would be better able to be 'artisans of their own destiny,'" said the Rev. Fred Kammer, S.J., J.D., director of the Jesuit Social Research Institute.
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation (WKKF), founded in 1930 as an independent, private foundation by breakfast cereal pioneer, Will Keith Kellogg, is among the largest philanthropic foundations in the United States. Guided by the belief that all children should have an equal opportunity to thrive, WKKF works with communities to create conditions for vulnerable children so they can realize their full potential in school, work and life.
The Kellogg Foundation is based in Battle Creek, Mich., and works throughout the United States and internationally, as well as with sovereign tribes. Special emphasis is paid to priority places where there are high concentrations of poverty and where children face significant barriers to success. WKKF priority places in the U.S. are in Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico and New Orleans; and internationally, are in Mexico and Haiti. For more information, visit www.wkkf.org.

PHILADELPHIA – Jason Duboe scored three times in the first half, while Dean Gibbons added two goals, including one on a man-up opportunity, but the 17th ranked Harvard men's lacrosse team dropped an Ivy League road game at Penn by a score of 12-7 Saturday afternoon.
Harry Krieger recorded 12 saves in net for the Crimson, which sees its record fall to 5-5 overall and 1-3 in the Ivy League. Penn improves to 5-7 and 1-4 in the Ancient Eight.
A goal by Duboe gave Harvard an early 1-0 lead at the 10:44 of the first quarter, as Duboe fired the Crimson's first shot of the game past Penn goalkeeper Joe Hegener. At the 6:42 mark, Kevin Vaughan fed Duboe with a pass and the senior midfielder notched his second goal, giving the Crimson a 2-1 advantage.
In the second, Alex White and Duboe found the back of the net, as the Crimson and Quakers headed into halftime tied, 4-4. Penn held a 21-10 lead in shots through the first half of action.
Penn opened the third quarter with a 5-0 run, as the Quakers
grabbed 9-4 lead entering the final stanza. In the fourth
quarter, Gibbons ended the Quaker scoring run by netting a man-up
goal, making it a 9-5 contest at 14:09. With 10:42 to play,
Peter Schwartz added another man-up tally, pulling Harvard within
three goals. Gibbons tallied his second man-up score of the
quarter at the 6:41 mark, cutting Harvard's deficit to
Penn held the final count in shots, 42-27, while the Crimson enjoyed a 23-17 edge in ground balls. Harvard won 9-of-21 faceoffs and was 14-of-16 on clear attempts.
Up next, Harvard will host No. 5 Princeton at Harvard Stadium on Senior Day Saturday, April 24 at 1 p.m.

Research Highlights
October 2012
Partly Cloudy With a Chance of Aerosol
Satellite images reveal that clouds affect the particles surrounding them
The sky can appear nearly clear or somewhat hazy between clouds. Now, scientists have found that clouds influence tiny particles near them to attract and hold water, which ultimately affects the balance of sunlight energy between the sun and the Earth's surface. Photo courtesy of MayaSimFan.
Results: Call them cloud wannabes. Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory found that when the sky is described as partly cloudy, particles near those clouds swell larger with water vapor. The larger particles then reflect and scatter more sunlight energy, like cloud hopefuls. Scientists gleaned these cloud effect secrets from satellite data to find an increase of about 25 percent in the particles' reflectivity.
Why It Matters: Aerosols are tiny particles of dust, ash, pollution, and chemical compounds suspended in the atmosphere. These small particles have huge impacts on the warming and cooling of the Earth through their power to absorb, reflect, or scatter light from the sun. Previously, global climate models have neglected the influence of clouds to increase the water attraction by these particles. This research helps scientists better understand some of the effects that have a major impact on how and when energy from the sun affects the Earth's climate.
Methods: The PNNL scientists used 11 years of high-resolution daily observations from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellites to assess the effect of clouds on aerosols. They analyzed data on the aerosol optical thickness and fraction of the sky covered by clouds using probability density function, a statistical approach that shows the distribution of random variables. This approach enabled them to describe the relative frequency of clear sky to a sky thick with aerosol particle activity in global regions.
A large plume of dust, blowing off the coast of Africa, overlaps and mixes with scattered clouds over the Atlantic Ocean. Dust is one type of aerosol particle that can be influenced by clouds to affect the warming and cooling of Earth. Photo courtesy of NASA.
Although there are various factors controlling the aerosols near clouds, in their analysis the team found that hygroscopicity—the ability of the particle to attract and hold water-is a major factor driving the optical depth of particles. Satellite observations suggest that complex interactions occur between coexisting clouds and aerosol particles. This study will help improve representations of clouds in climate change, and result in a better grasp of how aerosols affect the warming and cooling effect of the sun's energy on the Earth.
What's Next? PNNL researchers will use the global-scale observations for estimating how and when energy from the sun affects the Earth's climate, which will provide a better understanding of climate models.

FinLtr-10: State Special Schools
Official Letter
Official Letter
September 10, 2011
Dear County Superintendents of Schools:
Statute requires the school district of residence of the parent or guardian of any residential student attending a State Special School to pay 10 percent of the excess annual cost of education for that student (California Education Code Section 59300). Item 6110‑006-0001 of the Budget Act of 2010 (Chapter 712, Statutes of 2010) requires the State Controller Office (SCO) to withhold the amount due from each school district, as reported by the California Department of Education (CDE), from the district's principal apportionment, and transfer that amount to the State Special Schools account
(6110-006-0001). The transfer is separate from the First and Second Principal Apportionment certifications.
Accordingly, enclosed is the schedule of transfers or "adjustments" reflecting the difference between 10 percent of the final excess costs incurred in fiscal year 2010-11 and the amounts previously transferred at the 2010-11 First and Second Principal Apportionment certifications. Positive entries show reductions to the district's principal apportionment payment; negative entries show an increase, to compensate for previous transfers that now exceed the final amount.
Beginning in fiscal year 2010-11, apportionment related letters from the CDE's School Fiscal Services Division are no longer being mailed to the county superintendents of schools. Instead, county superintendents will be notified by e-mail. Accordingly, the CDE has sent an e-mail to each county superintendent, addressed to the county's CDEfisc e-mail address, to inform him or her of this adjustment. The e-mail includes a link to the CDE Categorical Programs Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/ca/statespecialschool.asp where these adjustments are posted. The CDE requested that the e-mail be forwarded to all school districts and charter schools in the county.
For standardized account code structure coding, use Resource Code 0000, Unrestricted Resources, and Expenditure Object Code 7130, State Special Schools.
If you have any questions regarding the adjustments, please contact AnneMarie Rouse, Office Technician, State Special Schools & Services Division, by phone at 916-327-3850 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. General questions regarding this notice may be directed to
Shannon Reel, Fiscal Analyst, Categorical Programs Unit, by phone at 916-319-0323 or by e-mail at email@example.com
[Note: the preceding contact information is no longer valid and has been replaced by Tonya Holmes, Fiscal Analyst, Categorical Allocations and Management Assistance Office, by phone at 916-323-6028 or by e-mail at email@example.com.].

Byatt, A. S.
Byatt, A. S. (Antonia Susan Byatt) bī´ət [key], 1936–, British novelist sister of Margaret Drabble . Educated at Cambridge, Bryn Mawr College, Pa., and Oxford, she is a noted critic and novelist whose work is erudite, subtle, and passionate. Her best-known novel, Possession (1989)—at once a mystery, a work of Victorian literary scholarship, a romance, and a philosophical inquiry into the nature of love—won the Booker Prize. Byatt's other fiction includes a quartet of novels, The Virgin in the Garden (1978), Still-Life (1985), Babel Tower (1996), and A Whistling Woman (2002), centered around a Yorkshire family and exploring modern English life. Her novella Angels and Insects (1992) and her novel The Biographer's Tale (2001) both examine Victorian times with a contemporary sensibility, while her sweeping later novel, The Children's Book (2009), tells of a writer, her family, and the wider world during years from the late 19th cent. through World War I. Byatt is also known for studies of Iris Murdoch (1965, 1976) and other literary essays, e.g., Passions of the Mind (1992) and On Histories and Stories (2000) short stories, e.g., Matisse Stories (1993), Elementals (1999), and Little Black Book of Stories (2004) and fairy tales (1997).

Photo: Getty Images
Dozens of classic movies will disappear from our streaming life this month as Netflix once again overhauls its offerings.
Taxi Driver, Chinatown and Dr. Strangelove are all going, as are a host of Bond films.
And if you feel like a Rocky marathon you'd better get on it because those are going too.
It's not clear whether the removals are permanent as licences to stream the films can be renewed.
In total 79 movies will depart with 45 new ones joining reports the Consumerist via reddit.

Jesus, I don't even know what to do with this. At a small Sundance show last week, Courtney Love played an acoustic cover of Jay-Z's "99 Problems," and it is ridiculous. The pros: Courtney's voice is still a powerful weapon, and she still has that husky emotive rasp to it even when she's quasi-rapping; the finale, where she repeats the "hold my gun" line over and over, is powerful. The cons: She is Courtney love covering "99 Problems," and she leaves at least one N-bomb intact. So. I mean. I don't know. Watch fan footage below.
(via NME)
Love supposedly has a new single called "This Is War" ready to drop 2/7.

Wu put up a couple of figures here on the screen ... it breaks down by states Tennessee Georgia Indiana Alabama took us through ... what these numbers tell you ... while not only do you see in black voter turnout ... the rate of black voter turnout surpassing ... that of whites in those states but nationwide ... this was that Renault was the first time ... this happened since the census is been ... keeping such records in obviously ... Obama won the presidency of the first black on ... black man aam has something to do with the what's interesting about the figures is that the trend ... are actually predates the Obama presidency but by more than a decade dates back to nineteen ninety six ... so aam ... which is of course I took another trend in the country ... and that is why we aren't really a toss of the city remains to ... be the iam states passing will ride the ups ... and the left telling us that this is an effort to disenfranchise what axe and take us back to poll taxes and literacy tests ... and the Jim Crow era ... but it census figures don't bear that out ... aam black voter turnout has been increasing even as they have been passing more ... voter ID laws and that the states ... with the script is more ideal us in the country ... um places like Indiana ... and and aam GA ... aam and Tennessee ... saw black turnout surpass quite turned I want to listen to connect the dots are we know it why when voter ID only two black turnout is it because black voters say ... well I'm showing my ID in my mind is going to be counted this is done and my boys can be heard in a ... while well as the trends I think I don't know that that they're connected I think of but when it does show ... is that black people are not incapable of obtaining the Aggie necessary ... to vote just as they are not ... incapable locating ... the idea necessary to get a library card reported an airplane or interim government building ... so I think is look on descended ... on the part of the left to assume ... that that would be the case on it doesn't surprise me at all no one explains more political engagement on the part of black America ... is something up out lead to the political scientist at the same way but what we do know from these is that ... aam it if it did give them the phonecall ... of voter ID laws is not valid integrity is the right claims from people that support the claim ... but in fact is the isthe is an effort to disenfranchise black does not work while the Supreme Court isn't is about to rule on a very important case related to the steam so ... the constitutionality of section five ... of the nineteen sixty five voting rights Act now to explain that for viewers who don't know ... what that section that I mean this was a temporary measure of of the act other perks are permanent but this is the time for him and he was in the states with a history ... of discriminating against blacks aam ... who are trying to vote ... and it said that the state the mostly southern states they have to get permission from the federal government to change any of their ... voting laws in the Supreme Court ... is considering a case right now determine whether this has outlived its usefulness of blacks are in fact still being ... disenfranchised in the States and it's interesting because the name state in the case is Shelby County Alabama ... versus Holden ... and an Alabama re-elect voter turnout ... is well above white voter turnout ... and we already knew that that black motor registration in the States covered under section five ... exceeded black motor registration northern states the states that are covered but now we know that voter participation also ... exceeds aam white voter participation so it that that that did the case for continuing section five is getting weaker and weaker and weaker ... and I think the the Census Bureau data disaster that ... has sat next to Ben Ely ministrations doesn't proclaim victory and say what a way to carry them what's the fun that I no longer does the Fed was a great success for Middlebury and Jason Riley thank you so much for being on the show

This exhibition includes traditional African art and works by African-American artists—some of whom have adapted the styles and motifs of African art to their own working methods. Others have drawn inspiration from African culture. Among them is a female bush-spirit mask with humanlike features. This West African mask is constructed of materials such as wood, brass and braided human hair to illustrate its supernatural force. A large wooden dance mask, just over 49 inches high, made by the Baga tribe in Guinea, represents the goddess Nimba, a symbol of fertility. The mask is worn over the head and shoulders of the dancer, who is concealed by a raffia costume and peers through two holes carved between the breasts. These impressive traditional African objects are juxtaposed with works by such contemporary American artists as Willie Cole, Alison Saar and Carrie Mae Weems.
