QUNU, South Africa — They gathered in the rolling green hills of the Eastern Cape on Sunday to return a son to his native soil: princes and presidents, chiefs and priests, celebrities and grandmothers, comrades and cellmates, here to bury Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.
"Whilst your long walk to freedom has ended in the physical sense, our own journey continues," President Jacob Zuma of South Africa declared in a eulogy for Mandela, a global emblem of struggle and reconciliation, at a state funeral in this far-flung village. "As you take your final steps, South Africa will continue to rise."
The ceremony began in a cavernous dome, containing thousands with choirs and television cameras, prayers and memories.
The funeral — the final parting after a series of celebrations and memorials that had consumed the land since Mandela died Dec. 5 after months of illness and decline — left his country poised on the cusp of a post-Mandela era that seems certain to test the durability of his legacy.
Mandela's state funeral burial knitted together the many strands of his life. In addition to the full pomp of state ceremonies, complete with soldiers in lock step, a 21-gun salute and jet fighters in formation, the service included Christian prayers — Mandela was a lifelong Methodist — and traditions and rituals of the AbaThembu community into which he was born.
Indeed, long before he became a freedom fighter, a fugitive, the world's most famous political prisoner and then the embodiment of forgiveness and reconciliation, Nelson Mandela was a boy of the Thembu royal family.
His attachment to Qunu, where he had spent most of his childhood, was so deep that he used to tell his daughter Makaziwe, the eldest of his surviving children, that "if I am not buried there, my bones will shake," she said in an interview this year.
Mandela wrote of how he had learned to lead by watching the king of the AbaThembu.
"I always remember the regent's axiom," he wrote. "A leader, he said, is like a shepherd. He stays behind the flock, letting the most nimble go out ahead, whereupon the others follow, not realizing that all along they are being directed from behind."
Three of his children are buried here: A daughter, also named Makaziwe, who died at 9 months; his eldest son, Thembi, who died in a car crash in 1969, while Mandela was imprisoned on Robben Island; and his son Makgatho, who died of complications from AIDS in 2005.
Though less visible than the military honors and Christian hymns that accompanied the funeral, Thembu rituals were a vital part of the proceedings. When Mandela's body arrived at his home, the chief and the king of the AbaThembu kingdom, a Methodist priest and his family were there to welcome him with prayer and song. On Saturday night, Mandela's body lay in his bedroom, said Bantu Holomisa, a family friend and a political leader.
Bringing a body home before burial is an important part of the tradition here. The family and elders need "to talk to the body, to say: 'You're not going to be with us anymore. We're going to take you to your last resting place,' " said an elder member of the Mandela family who asked that her name be withheld because she did not want to be seen as going against the family's wishes.
It also was important that the body spend time in the house, she added, "to connect with the spirits in the house."
Funerals here are not simply a time to celebrate a person's life; they are a forum for recounting one's story, whatever path he or she may have followed. Speakers are called from all parts of the person's life. That tradition was on vivid display at Mandela's state funeral.
Ahmed Kathrada, a fellow defendant in the treason trial that sent Mandela to prison for 27 years, said in an emotional address that Mandela had united a divided nation.
"Today, mingled with the grief is the enormous pride that one of our own has during your life, and now in your death, united the people of South Africa and the entire world on a scale never experienced before in history," Kathrada said.
Joyce Banda, the president of Malawi, gave a plain-spoken and heartfelt tribute to Mandela as an exemplar for African leaders.
"I learned leadership is about loving the people you serve and the people you serve falling in love with you," Banda said, recalling what she had gleaned from meeting Mandela. "It is about serving the people with selflessness, with sacrifice and with the need to put the common good ahead of personal interests."
About 5,000 people attended the state funeral, and millions more watched it on television.
In Mabeleni, a village just up the road from Qunu, Nokwanele Sapepa and four generations of her family gathered to say their final farewell to Mandela.
"Madiba is gone," Sapepa said, using Mandela's clan name. "We will never see another one like him."
Like many South Africans, she said the changes that Mandela had led transformed her life.
"Before, we could not go anywhere we liked; we needed a pass," said Sapepa, 56. "Now, we are free."
But other things have not changed as much as she might have liked, she said. African National Congress politicians had promised the people in her community new houses, electricity and running water in 1995, not long after their first election victory. Electricity came a few years later, but she is still waiting for the rest.
"Two years ago I gave up and started building my own house," she said. "Otherwise, I will die before I get a government house."
Most of her children, like so many young black South Africans, are jobless, and none of them finished high school. Sapepa, a widow, survives on government grants she receives for caring for her four grandchildren.
"It isn't easy to survive," she said as the children ate lunch, four slices of plain brown bread with cups of black tea.
At the graveside, Monwabisi Jamangile, the chaplain general of the South African military, gave the final public word.
"Now you have achieved ultimate freedom in the bosom of your maker," Jamangile declared over the coffin as it sat atop the grave.
A 21-gun salute rang out.
Jets roared overhead in formation.
The Last Post bugle call echoed across the rolling green hills.
And Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela's body was returned to the earth.

text: Home > World Romney pulls in big bucks in Southern California By Ros Krasny, Reuters Posted at Sep 23 2012 11:38 AM | Updated as of Sep 23 2012 07:38 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn LOS ANGELES - Having declared that his presidential campaign does not need a makeover, Republican Mitt Romney raised millions of dollars at two fundraisers in southern California on Saturday to help bankroll the final weeks of the race. "I'm not even going to be able to go home today. We're just coming to town to see you and keep the campaign going," Romney told a well-heeled crowd at the Grand Del Mar Resort hotel in Del Mar, California, about 12 miles from his beachfront house in La Jolla. Some 650 supporters - including diet guru Jenny Craig - paid from $1,000 to $25,000 a head to hear Romney's 40-minute speech in Del Mar, have their photograph taken with the candidate and eat roast chicken breast served on a bed of Israeli couscous. Spencer Zwick, the campaign's national finance chairman, assured donors their money would be spent wisely: to build a "massive ground game across the country in those swing states" and buy more television advertising. The second Saturday event, at the Beverly Hilton, pulled in $6 million, Romney said at the start of his remarks. About 1,500 tickets were sold at three tiers: $1,000, $15,000 and $50,000. Guests were entertained by comedian Dennis Miller and songwriter/producer David Foster. With his standing in the polls slipping, Romney has been under fire from some in his party who feel he has not spent enough time visiting political swing states versus hob-nobbing with wealthy donors. President Barack Obama spent the day campaigning - and also raising funds - in Wisconsin, a battleground state and the home of Romney's running mate, Representative Paul Ryan. Romney had no public events on Saturday. He will fly to Denver on Sunday afternoon for a rally and among other stops will have a two-day bus tour in Ohio Tuesday and Wednesday. Local resident Matt Romney, the second of the candidate's five sons, introduced his father and urged attendees to "open their wallets" at least one more time to help get the Republican's message out before Nov. 6. "It's our turn, you guys" said the elder Romney, 65, who was wearing dress pants and a sport jacket. 'Doesn't need a turnaround' Boarding a plane in San Francisco on Saturday, Romney declined to answer a reporter's shouted question of whether he will soon adopt a more "aggressive" strategy. But he told the crowd in Del Mar Saturday's event was his "last fundraiser in San Diego." In an interview to be broadcast on Sunday on CBS' "60 Minutes," Romney rejected calls for changes, pointing out that in national polls he is in a tight race with Obama. "It doesn't need a turnaround. We've got a campaign which is tied with an incumbent president to the United States," Romney said in excerpts from the interview released by CBS on Friday. At the Del Mar event, Romney lauded some local California entrepreneurs, including Ada Regan, owner of "Strawberry Hill," an historic mansion in Hillsborough, near San Francisco, where Romney raised funds on Friday night. Regan's late husband Barrie, an electrical engineer and Italian immigrant, designed components that were used in the U.S. space program. Pressing a familiar theme, Romney said Obama does not understand what it takes to build a business but rather wants government to play a larger top-down role. "They DID build their business," Romney said of the Regans. In Los Angeles Romney criticized Obama's support for certain union measures and said the key to improving education in the United States was "to put the kids and the parents and the teachers first, and the unions and their interests behind."

Piltun Lagoon, Tomon and Grey Whales
Post by Jake Levenson, IFAW Global Program Officer for Whales, Headquarters Office
I was so tired after arriving at the research site yesterday that I don't really remember falling asleep. Needless to say, I slept extremely well, as soon as my sleeping bag and foam pad rolled out.
I awoke this morning before most of the team and decided to have a look around this side of the lagoon. We had a bit of fog so couldn't head out first thing this morning, but the slight breeze gave a small hint that the fog would soon clear out. By the way, I've learned a new Russian word. Tomon (pronounced too-mon) is Russian for fog. Already, I've heard this word many times in Piltun.
The camp is fairly small, and always oriented towards the lagoon. Both the lighthouse and the abandoned side of the light-keeper's hut that we call home, sit facing Piltun Lagoon, and then open ocean just past. The whales often congregate here, in an area barely 15 by 5 kilometers in area. Sand bars protect the lagoon, and offer a welcomed resting spot for local harbor, ringed and bearded seals. The lagoon also harbors a healthy population of fishes, which attract the giant Steller's sea eagle.
Grisha, Pasha and I decided to take a quick trip in our Zodiac inflatable to scout out the area just past the cut in the sandbars. These mark the lagoon's entrance and direct a fresh influx of sea water into the lagoon with each flooding tide. Out in the lagoon, we spotted a few whales. Encouraged, we decided to radio in and tell the team to get ready. The fog had retreated far enough by 9:00 AM that we could get the survey team in place for one survey. Two of us worked on photo identification with a video and still camera, while a third person took notes and a fourth guided our vessel.
Over the day we spotted numerous whales and three mother-calf pairs. This means -- on my first day -- I already have seen 3/4 of this year's calves (there have only been five new calves this year). Mind boggling and extremely humbling. Also terribly frightening to consider that this entire species produced a total of five babies this year.
Here are a few images from today:
Western Pacific grey whale mother and calf, with the shore in the background:
Western Pacific grey whale with the Piltun Lagoon campsite and lighthouse in the background:
Back on dry land, we are using our computers to match today's photographs with older photographs of known whales. This will tell us exactly who we saw today.
The ocean side of the lagoon, where the whales feed, is sandwiched right between two oil platforms of Sakhalin Energy's so thoughts on the harm these platforms are causing from ocean noise pollution, and the imminent danger of a spill damaging this fragile habitat never really left my mind. (Platform picture)
Finally (it's 8:00 PM) we're ready to sit down for a dinner of bread and beet stew, so I'm going to sign off for now. More updates coming soon! Thanks for following along. And please remember, if you would like to support our work preserving whales in Russia and elsewhere, we can always use your help. In fact, we couldn't do this without you!

cubitus valgus
FREE subscriptions for doctors and students... click hereYou have 3 open access pages.
Cubitus valgus is a valgus deformity of the elbow, the result being an increased carrying angle at the elbows - the lower arms stick out more.
It is most commonly the result of a non-union of a fractured lateral condyle, which may result in gross deformity and a bony knob on the inner side of the joint. However, it may also occur in Turner's and Noonan's syndrome.
The principle complication of a valgus deformity is the development of an ulnar palsy. This may occur years after the original injury.
If an ulnar nerve palsy develops then this can be treated by transposition of the ulnar nerve to the front of the elbow. If there is deterioration and the arm looks unsightly, a correction osteotomy may be undertaken.

Olympic Village Trespasser Jailed
Published 8:00 pm, Thursday, January 31, 2002
A man who jumped a security fence at the Olympic Village pleaded guilty to trespassing and was sentenced to 30 days in jail Friday.
Sheldon Iver Goodman also was ordered to pay $2,500 and serve two years' probation.
Secret Service agents caught him on Jan. 27 inside the athletes' village on the Utah campus after he set off a motion sensor. He told police he was just taking a shortcut.
The 48-year-old Goodman acknowledged in court Friday that he knew access was restricted and that signs were posted on a fence around the area. He added, however, that there was no sign at the spot he entered the village.
Goodman has been arrested on trespassing charges several times in the past six years. His lawyer said most of them stemmed from Goodman's attempts to find a place to sleep at night, although prosecutors said he is not homeless.

ANCHORAGE (AP) -- An estimated 760 gallons of diesel fuel spilled from a generator Monday morning at Pump Station No. 6 of the trans-Alaska pipeline.
The pump station is off Mile 55 Dalton Highway.
The Department of Environmental Conservation reported that a fuel line ruptured on one of the generators used to supply power to the pump station.
About 417 gallons of fuel was recovered from inside the generator module using absorbent pads and a vacuum truck.
The spill affected about 300 square feet of gravel pad beneath the generator module. Contaminated gravel will be excavated after the module is moved, but another generator must be delivered and installed before that will happen. Setting up the new generator could take several weeks or months, according to the DEC.
Pacific Detroit Diesel Allison is responsible for cleaning up the spill.

Anyone else reading this? It's pretty good. Can we talk about best girl. Best girl is explosion tomboy of course.
All urls found in this thread:
Assassin-chan a cute.
Solid taste
It's pretty good.
She's a rapist but she only rapes people with dildos and penis shaped objects. I'm guessing she's also a virgin.
I like stalker the best. both in this and the other manga composed of mentaly unstable grills
MC looks like he had some serious training, strafing and dodging every attacks aimed at him by all the various hitwomen, rapists, bombers and other pyrowomen.
So what kind of shady past do you think he had?
I'm loving it but I'm a little disappointed that it seems to be turning Harem fast. At least hit girl is a qt.
So what kind of shady past do you think he had?
You mean besides getting involved with criminals in a daily basis?
Nah, he's probably the reincarnation of the best criminal that ever lived or something along those lines. Trust me, my dad is friends with the author.
There's only two girls that like him, rapist chan doesn't count.
He got that good by being mugged, kidnapped, assaulted, run over and other attempts to his life and safety his whole life.
And we're what, less than 10 chapters in? It's fine so far, but it may be headed the harem route very fast.
Judging by his hand to hand skills and being able to erase his presence, and sneakily evade traps?Clearly formerly a child soldier from Outer Heaven.
that's what he says, but the principal magic crime detection skills says otherwise
I'll go for the >muh memory loss or >muh sealed memories line
also, what do you think
but the principal magic crime detection skills says otherwise
No? She says she detects the POTENTIAL for him to be a criminal, not that he's a criminal.
If it does become a harem I hope the Yakuza who likes Usagi drop and Non Non biyori becomes part of his harem.
Or maybe is because of the whole training and knowledge he got from being a victim to so many types of crimes so often that he got the potential to become a criminal mastermind
He's a cutie.
Best girl.
Best boy
update when?
all the girls in this where best
I keep thinking the title is Campione! even though I know that Campione! is an entirely different show.
I bet his gimmack is that he's not a criminal and that it's all misunderstanding
That is literally what it says, can you not read?
usagi drop
there's your criminal activity right there
Wait wait wait wait. Is this a group of assassins primarily composed of grills?
Fucking dropped.
This body is criminal.
5/9 of the students are girls. Plus a few other characters like the principal, but in terms of students it isn't too bad of a ratio.
It's a pretty balanced lineup, it's just that the guys don't have that much dialogue, one guy literally hasn't been introduced yet and Gouda's face wasn't seen until for 4 or 5 chapters later.
he said "anime"
so he's ok
Tiger a great. Shame he seems like a character that a series would treat like shit.
I think unnamed kun would fit that role better.
Will all characters be saberfaces in the future?
group of assassins primarily composed of grills
Well, not assassins.
Just crazy pyromaniac/ISIS hoes and scatter stalkers and rapists.
but it has all the best girls
Rank 'em.
Hitman > Arson (Ignited) = Bomber (Extinguished) > Stalker = Bomber (Ignited) > Arson (Extinguished) > Rapist
Principal is clearly retarded though.
Come on guys, it's not a harem. Guy literally has a stalker that would even kill her principal for MC's dick.
The bomber who hates normies is clearly best girl.
Extinguished or ignited?
Not OP, but obviously extinguished.
Ignited Arson is great
Thanks, user. I didn't know there was a new chapter with best girl
where I can find raws besides buying tankobon? cant find online subscriber-reader
I enjoy it
Extinguished and Ignited bomber tomboy looks like rinna nad natsuki respectively.
Extinguished bomber girl is best.
His skills have been honed from numerous battles.
Nah, it's said in the manga that there's a sleeping demon inside of him. As someone said earlier, he probably has the criminal god inside of him that's why so many criminals want to beat him. It sounds autistic but it's very likely.
My guess is that his "thing" is to be the boss, being able to rally together different criminals into a cohesive gang.
That sounds cooler. Just hope it's a funny talent and not a drama device.
The last classmate showed up in the newest chapter. Her thing was apparently impersonation, she has an eyepatch, the rest of the class hates of is afraid of her except for the hacker guy.
So there class is made up of a Victim, a Stalker, a Murderer, a Molester, an Arsonist, a Bomber, a Cracker, a Yakuza, and an Impersonator.
Where's the Klepto?
Is this how to roll from heights in real life?
Rape attempt? Ended up dead? Led her on before rejecting and humiliating her in public for being a disgusting stalker?
Why is this allowed?
Not sure. It looks pretty similar to how they teach paratroopers to land, except they wouldn't continue to roll obviously.
Her husband is probably a senile old man by now. I want to see a doujin of that.
Could be unnamed-kun
Looking ahead, it seems like he's a blackmailer.
Really? That seems like it could be played for a lot of fun in this manga.
Ignited tomboy is the cutest, I really want her to fall for the MC. Assassin is okay, but pretty generic.
That would really make it a fun harem.
This, cute yankees are always the best girls by a long shot
tfw she won't win
Is the student returning to class her granddaughter?
Is she basically going to be Karma?
Its so fucking funny, but I've taken a real shine to Assasin-chan. The other classmates are great too, the anal sadist has some hilarious moments.
No, he just has split-personalities. At night he goes out a-thieving ala Lupin, by day he's a normal high schooler.
What happens if she gets teased?
It's actually 6/10, the absentee classmate is a girl.
Pray and #tweet.
There are other guys you know, why not wish for her with one of them?
This is a weekly manga, right? Is it also translated weekly? I'd like to know how far ahead the raws are.
Not him, but I self insert into the MC 90% of the time. It's annoying.
tfw Tanaka will never give Ecchan the dick
It's on chapter 16 raw.
Thanks for the thread OP, picked up and enjoying it so far
Arsonist is the best girl
Author's got top tier taste
Her sister is better.
favorite show is the walking dead
Horrible taste.
I wish this was the case but too bad we will only get a "lol there's a demon inside him that's attracting all this crime to him"
She's best girl not perfect girl.
I also like Stalker, but Vampire has been steadily growing in the last chapters.
Slit throat was also really cute.
pic related
on another note, this manga has amazing reaction pics. thanks op for making me pick this up
Arson (Ign) = Arson (Ext) > Hitman = Stalker > Bomber (Ign) > Bomber (Ext) > Rapist
This is your megumin now.
She's cuter than the old one
Both are italian words, close enough
The artist is pretty good.
Shit, I need more updates now.
Bomber > Hitgirl > Arson (Ignited) > Stalker > Rapist > Stalker > Gorilla
Is Gouda another king? Intimidating presence but actually a softy? I mean Gouda is still a yakuza so he's probably tougher.
now the power levels
motherfucker just disarmed hitman
Hitman is probably mediocre, even her dad couldn't recognize a young child's presence. Also, I hope her little sister is also a criminal.
No one ever talks about rapist girl in these threads.
I was rereading previous chapters and found out she was teased on chapter 3.
Pretty good.
I ship bomber girl with delinquent man!
This picture sold me into this manga.
Delinquent a moe. I want to bake with him.
Updates never.
Well played, author. Well played.
I just hope this doesn't end with a non-ending like
We're all in the same class again! (After destroying the school in the penultimate chapter)
It's a typical nobody wins ending!
Principal end
She's married with grandchildren, she's happy.
She was in stalker mode, but yeah hitman has been really weak.
She's reluctant about being a criminal and also she was forced to do it. Everyone else is innately criminal.
I really like this
He doesn't know where she hides the dildos
Well he WAS kidnapped as a kid and probably used in some kind of satanic ritual before he was rescued
That's switching cause and effect, he shouldn't have been kidnapped if he didn't already have it.
Her husband is probably a lolicon
loli assasins is not very convincing to read
Oh wow, highschool assassins, very original and well thought out.
Japan was a mistake.
I hope they will introduce Hypnotist Mastermind.
excellent taste fampais
So were you and yet you're still allowed to exist.
Probably wouldn't work. If you fuck that up the only way for your position to be worse is if you land headfirst.
The best way to survive is to find something relatively soft to land on and be drunk since people tend to brace for impact which does the opposite of help.
In theory, once you landed on your feet, the force isn't yet focused (that's the actual reason why most of the damage is into your bone, not on your feet) thus giving you enough time to distribute the force and momentum by rolling which in turn converts the upward force to circular force.
But who the fuck cares, really user.
He pretty much executed a perfect PLF. This is a thing people have been doing pretty much as long as military parachuting has existed.
It literally said he was her homeroom teacher when she was an elementary schooler. He has to be like 80 by now.
I won't be surprise if stalker can hide her presence as well, maybe even better than victim.
Hitman is probably still in training.
Someone post the big guy's non non byori facts
Stalker is a qt
My gf also gets overly excited over my sweaty boxers after I come back from soccer practice. I found it creepy at first, but it's qt.
Sup Forums doesn't like used goods.
that reaction...
The real question I have is would it still be effective from that height? They were on like the fifth floor, right? Its not like he had a parachute.
This was the chapter that skyrocketed this series from "fun, I should check up on it once in a while" to "I have to follow the scanlations as closely as possible now"
not that user, but at the very least it could severely reduce the damage taken if done properly.people have survived falls in the tens of thousands of feet after all.
That being said, i sure as hell would not attempt it unless the danger was grave enuff to be the better option.It is very unlikely that one would be able to walk away from that.
After two to three stories you hit terminal velocity so you don't actually take extra damage from falling any higher I think.
After two to three stories you hit terminal velocity
thats not near enuff time to hit terminal velocity for a human being.
What kind of pansy-ass cops have beagles for police dogs?
im pretty sure its either stalker or hitman
My blushing fetish is so very satisfied
Will she show up again?
New chapter when?
Bet she's stalker's mom. She wanted to make a fiance for her child right away!
Actually, do we ever see MC's parents? I wonder if they're both criminals too, or alternately total worrywarts
I want Victim to be with Hitman, but I know my dreams will never come true.
He's going to have a polygamy end with stalker and hitman,
and polygamy will he against the law in this setting, proving the principal right.
You just sold me this manga. I'll never go through my backlog like this. Hope you are happy, user
Oh thanks, I forgot.
I want loli principal to tell me that I stink.
So he's obviously gonna become some kind of theif right?
expert with locks
can conceal presence
I think so because if you can evade criminals you can probably evade the police with ease. But he's also pretty good at hand in hand combat , it's either master thief or master criminal.
Phantom thief???
He was mostly good at just disarming and evading, which are pretty damn useful for knocking out guards as a thief.
For a good reason.
That part was hilarious, I never expected to see Abe there, much less to see him get sodomized again
It's hard to get a discussion going with a manga that only has 10 chapters, I hope future criminale threads would be more popular. Principal is best girl.
Her husband is a lolicon. She married him for the same reason she's mentoring these kids, to stop him from committing real crimes. She's done something to herself to make her an eternal loli towards that cause.
You read it here first.


text: The Titans practiced without offensive tackle Dave Stewart and defensive end Derrick Morgan on Sunday because of minor knee injuries. Titans coach Mike Munchak said Morgan is likely to scrimmage Monday against Atlanta, but that Stewart is more of a questionmark. "I'm not as sure (about Stewart). He's a little sorer," Munchak said. "Derrick was more of … it was a good idea to rest him since he's been working so many days in a row. He was a little sore so we cut back on him." Steward said he didn't think the injury would keep him out long. Center Kevin Matthews (concussion) is unlikely to scrimmage against the Falcons, but he said he does expect to return to the practice field by Wednesday. The Titans are off on Tuesday.

Malden - The public is invited to hear six state and national urban school leaders in public education discuss how to make effective schools in urban districts at a public forum Tuesday, October 17 at the Department of Education.
The Massachusetts Board of Education and the Department of Education will host the forum on "Effective Schools & Effective Leaders in Urban Districts." The event will be held from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the third floor Board of Education rooms.
Panelists for the forum include:
Commissioner of Education David P. Driscoll said, "The top priority of the Board of Education and the Department of Education is raising student achievement. The panelists for this forum are extraordinary state and national urban school leaders who through their experience can share with others various strategies in helping children learn in public education."
As Massachusetts enters the second phase of Education Reform, along with raising student achievement, of particular importance in this effort is a clear understanding of what effective schools look like and what role leadership plays in the development of such schools. This event is the first in a series of Education Reform forums that will explore these issues.
For more information on the public forum, visit the Department of Education website.

John Camilli, resident manager of the Hawaiian Village apartments in Ventura, said most people only got out with the shirts on their backs after the Thomas fire erupted.
He stood at the top of the driveway of the apartments and watched as crews Wednesday afternoon doused water on a hotspot. This was the second time since the fire they had come to the site, Camilli said.
Like the 150 people who lived in the 53 units, Camilli said he's now homeless and living in his car.
"They thought they were coming back so they didn't take much," he said.
LIVE COVERAGE: Updates in real time on wildfires burning throughout Southern California
Residents first began smelling smoke Monday around 9 p.m. and some decided to pack up and evacuate. Then between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m. the air conditions were getting bad and more and more people left.
"All the last hold-outs started cuing up their cars and waiting till the last second because no one wanted to believe it was coming this way," Camilli said.
At about 11 p.m. they got an emergency notification on their cell phones to evacuate.
It's also when Camilli said he could see 20-foot to 30-foot flames coming over the hillside.
"Every time the Santa Ana winds would throw a gust at us, it would start raining embers down on the property," he said.
Camilli said the glowing embers were the size of golf balls.
He acknowledged he grabbed a garden hose thinking he could stave off the flames from the apartments with picturesque views
"The first time I got pelted with all of these live embers I knew I had to get out of there," he said.
At the same time the dark smoke from the fire was choking out the area, he said.
"I'm not going to be a hero here, I'm gonna get the hell out of here," he recounted.
The scene was frenetic, cars were idle and doors were open, ready to go. Despite that, Camilli said no one left without checking on their neighborhoods above and next door.
He walked down the hill and walked in between homes and saw flames come down on the southwest corner of the building, which had caught fire.
"It was a lost cause and it would have taken a lot of water," he said.
There were at least five cars in the carport that had burned and little remained of the three-story and two-story buildings. Many of the palms surrounding the complex were blackened and the palm trees inside were charred.
On Tuesday, fire crews were on site dousing hotspots with two water hoses. The site was closed to the public Wednesday afternoon when firefighters determined it was unsafe for people to be scavenging through the debris. Hours earlier in the day some live ammunition had gone off from the heat which partially prompted the closure.
Before they closed it off, Camilli said, two firefighters grabbed shovels and helped one former tenant dig through the site Wednesday because he had refused to leave.
A fire engine was once again pouring water over areas that were smoldering.
Camilli said Wednesday he was still trying to wrap his head around it. People have come up all day and seeing the destruction for the first time, some broke down in tears.
"This is their home, their whole lives are their apartment and they got out with none of it," said Camilli, who was only able to grab his laptop, bicycle, backpack and threw them into the trunk of his car.
Hours before the fire raced through the apartments Sam Kaplan, who lives in a home on the street above Hawaiian Village, was keeping a vigilant eye on the situation.
His roommate is a pilot and spotted the Santa Paula fire from the air as he was landing. Kaplan said his roommate and him decided, based on the news reports, that the fire would reach their home.
"Based on the wind direction, it was howling 50 mph on the east," Kaplan said. "The hillside was glowing and (my roommate) started spotting the embers."
The roommate both figured the fire could reach in them in a day or two. The one thing they didn't count on was the fire reaching them that night. That was until they looked at the map and how quickly it was spreading.
"It was a lot faster than expected," he said.
Kaplan said they fled around midnight. They decided to come back right before dawn and found the apartments had been reduced to a smoldering pile of rubble.
"Our garage was ablaze but our house was still not burning," he recounted, standing at the front of his doorway. "So we ran down the hills and some awesome firefighters from Santa Monica were rolling up their hoses."
Unfortunately, Kaplan was told by the firefighters they were running out of water and there was nothing that could be done.
They had just a little left and were willing to try and put out the flames if they wanted them to try.
Kaplan said yes.
"Those guys battled it for three hours," he said. "They got more trucks coming up to refill and even got a helicopter drop on the garage."
The garage was a total loss but the home did not receive any damage and Kaplan is convinced that if it wasn't for those firefighters the home would not be there.
He took the phone numbers of the firefighters and plans to treat them to a steak dinner at some point in the future.

Jessica Hamzelou, reporter
Continued reliance on oil is risky and expensive for business, say the authors of a new report from Lloyd's global risk assessment department, 360 Risk Insight, and UK think tank Chatham House.
The way forward for businesses, the report says, is renewable energy - but the chaos and uncertainty following the Copenhagen climate summit has stifled investment.
Antony Froggatt and Glada Lahn warn businesses that oil prices are set to soar over the next couple of years due to increasing demand. Rising car ownership and subsidised fuel prices in developing countries, they say, will contribute to the increase, along with a demand "rebound" once we're out of the recession.
In a "business as usual" scenario, the authors predict global energy demand will increase by 40 per cent by 2030. But it's unlikely that we'll be able to meet these demands.
The authors point out that we're still in the dark as to when oil production will go into irreversible decline, and the supply from top-producer Iraq is unreliable. "A supply crunch appears likely around 2013," says Paul Stevens, a researcher at Chatham House, in the report.
Some oil production sites are also vulnerable to severe weather events caused by climate change, say the authors, referring to Hurricane Katrina as a recent example. When the hurricane hit the Gulf of Mexico in 2005, storms essentially shut off 19 per cent of US oil refining capacity and sent global oil prices rocketing.
All this means that oil is going to become even more expensive for businesses. Carbon pricing and cap-and-trade schemes will raise energy costs, the report points out. And then there are the costs associated with obtaining oil from difficult environments, such as the deep offshore site of the Deepwater Horizon spill. Within a few years, "a spike in excess of $200 per barrel is not infeasible," Stevens says.
The report calls for businesses to ditch their risky and expensive dependence on oil and invest in renewable energy instead. Froggatt and Lahn say:
Renewable energy solutions can help diversify the energy portfolio of many businesses, bringing added price and supply security in the long term while adding to a company's sustainability profile.
A Lloyd's press release says:
The current generation of business leaders need to rethink their approach to energy risks or be left behind as energy becomes less reliable and more expensive... The environmental and economic cost of our reliance on fossil fuels is too high. We need a long-term plan to reduce consumption and diversify our energy resources.
The report comes a day after Greenpeace launched its "Energy [R]evolution" campaign.
In Greenpeace's vision, 95 per cent of electricity would be produced by renewable sources by 2050. Following this plan - and halting oil production - would boost business by increasing the market for renewable technology to over $600 billion and create around 12 million jobs by 2030, say Greenpeace. They may find unexpected support from Lloyds.

THE CAUCUS; Filibuster Blocks a Nominee
By CARL HULSE
Published: May 14, 2009
For the first time, Senate Republicans blocked a nominee of the Obama administration, mounting a filibuster against the appointment of David Hayes to be deputy secretary of the Interior Department in a dispute over oil and gas leases in Utah.
An effort to force a final vote on Mr. Hayes's nomination fell short of the required 60 votes Wednesday morning as Republicans stood nearly united against Mr. Hayes, a Interior Department official in the Clinton administration.
Republicans were rallied to oppose the nomination by Senators Robert F. Bennett of Utah and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska. Senators said the cancellation of 77 oil and gas leases near federal parks in Utah showed the Obama administration was not taking the nation's energy needs seriously.
''This is denying access to domestic oil and gas resources and making us more dependent on foreign oil, and I think that is a really terrible idea,'' said Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas.
Democrats said that Mr. Hayes had nothing to do with the oil leasing decision and that Republicans were impeding Democratic efforts to make changes at the Interior Department, where some officials in the oil leasing branch were accused of corruption in the Bush administration.
''This was a tired vote of bitter obstructionism,'' Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in a statement. ''It may be uncomfortable for some to watch us have to clean up mess after mess -- from corruption to law breaking -- that is the previous administration's legacy at Interior, but to cast a vote against such a qualified person is the height of cynicism.''
The vote on ending the filibuster was 57 to 39, with 38 Republicans opposing Mr. Hayes. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, ultimately voted with Republicans so as to reserve the right to bring up the nomination later.
Two Republicans, Senators Olympia J. Snowe of Maine and Jon Kyl of Arizona, sided with 55 Democrats. Three Democrats -- Senators Edward M. Kennedy and John Kerry of Massachusetts and Barbara A. Mikulski of Maryland -- were absent. Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania joined his new Democratic colleagues in trying to end the filibuster.

LETTERS: Conservative board leader supported; Fox News is worth watching; protect those wolves
Published 1:10 am, Sunday, February 17, 2013
I see by your editorial on Wednesday against Barbara Cargill headlined "Better board leader needed" that The Enterprise prefers taking a stand against a curriculum promoting patriotism, the Constitution and the heritage of our forefathers.
In other words your newspaper would prefer teaching our children the United States is a bad place and our education system should insist on a belief in evolution with a firm condemnation of our nation's founding fathers. Is that what your newspaper wants taught in our schools?
The liberal bias of the news media is a disgrace and you should be ashamed to print such nonsense.
Gene Vallorani, Beaumont
All you Obama addicts should read those tidbits from history like the lifespan of a republic. I think we are at No. 6 on this list with a bullet, going down. You had better wake up and smell the coffee before the government decides it's not good for you.
When the president and Enterprise reporter/columnist Dan Wallach badmouth Fox News, and all the other TV news outlets line up to kiss the president on both cheeks, Fox is the one network that tells the truth. If you don't like Fox News, hit the remote. They are the No. 1 cable network for a reason.
They tell the truth and report both sides of major issues - unlike Dan and MSNBC, who only know one line, progressive liberalism. Texas has resoundingly rejected that line in the last two national elections.
Freedom of the press only goes if you agree with the progressives, I suppose. Dan Wallach should seek honest work and quit writing lies for a living.
Don Kari, Lumberton
I'm writing in response to the article The Enterprise had about the increase of the Mexican wolves in the wild. This is good news but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service needs to step up the release of more wolves soon to get as much genetic diversity out there as possible.
They need to release wolves in the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico and in their historical range at the Grand Canyon to cut back on the overpopulation of deer and elk. This would ultimately serve to help another highly endangered species, the California condors, which would then be able to scavenge off the wolf kills instead of lead-filled gut piles hunters leave behind.
There are many Mexican wolves that have had "aversion training" to teach them to leave beef alone. Let's get them out there so they can balance out the ecosystem like the wolves in Yellowstone have done.
We need more releases to keep these wolves genetically healthy and on the road to recovery. With all the knowledge we have now on how to coexist with wolves, it can be done if everyone does their part. Let's just get it done.
Kathleen Cheatham, Laveen, Ariz.

Who Speaks for Me?
The mission of Who Speaks for Me? is to raise awareness about the intersection of trauma and women's incarceration by: engaging justice-involved women and girls with programming to understand and heal from trauma; empowering women and girls to become positive contributors to their families and communities; and providing technical assistance to criminal justice stakeholders, including: judges, defense attorneys, prosecutors, jail and prison staff and probation departments, to develop a trauma-informed justice system.
Our Beginning
Taylar Nuevelle, the founder of Who Speaks for Me?, has been blogging, writing, publishing and public speaking since she came home from prison in 2014 as the first phase of this organization that she created while incarcerated. All of her work involves Building a Trauma Informed Justice System for Women and Girls and bringing issues of justice-involved females into the Criminal Justice Reform Movement to end the Trauma-to-Prison Pipeline.
Some Statistics of Trauma Women Experience
Prior to Incarceration
of women incarcerated in America are survivors of sexual violence.
of women incarcerated in America are survivors of intimate partner abuse.
of women incarcerated in America are survivors of abuse by caregivers/
"The special issues facing female prisoners are not getting the attention they desperately need. Most programs to aid former prisoners are designed for men. Programs for women, when they exist, are often cookie-cutter copies of programs designed for men, despite the very different challenges they face. For example, women are typically incarcerated for property or drug possession offenses and are likely to have serious and long-term substance use problems. Female prisoners returning home face more difficult reentry challenges with fewer skills and more deficits than men, and those differences manifest in higher rates of relapse and recidivism". --Gabriela Bulisova, Photo Journalist--from the series Convictions

Commentary On Hebrews
Full Product Description
For many readers the Epistle to the Hebrews is among the most difficult books of the New Testament. Understanding its message calls for a great familiarity with its Old Testament background and a good knowledge of first-century biblical exegesis. This new, independent paperback edition of F. F. Bruce's long-standing hardcover volume on Hebrews in the New International Commentary on the New Testament (NICNT) series covers both of those fronts. When first published in 1964, Bruce's Hebrews received critical acclaim, and over the years it has become a classic work of evangelical biblical scholarship. Just before his death in 1990, Bruce completed a full revision of the text, incorporating twenty-five years of further study. Every reader of Hebrews -- whether student or scholar, minister or layperson -- will benefit from the careful exegesis and pastoral wisdom distilled in this volume.
Commentary On Hebrews by F F Bruce was published by Eerdmans Publishing Company in June 2012 and is our 61244th best seller. The ISBN for Commentary On Hebrews is 9780802867759.

Skip to comments.LYONS: Draft of new U.S. Army handbook must be scrapped
Posted on 12/29/2012 7:51:18 AM PST by bayouranger
Military supposed to defend First Amendment rights
After the repeal of Dont Ask, Dont Tell, the erosion of our militarys moral principles, regretfully, continues.
A recent Wall Street Journal article described the U.S. Armys final-draft handbook, which indoctrinates our military personnel heading to Afghanistan in how to be sensitive to and accept Muslim and Afghan 7th-century customs and values or possibly be killed by our Afghan partners.
Unbelievable. This is being done to prevent the so-called green-on-blue attacks, which have cost 63 American lives this year.
According to the Armys Combined Arms Center at Ft. Leavenworth, Kan., it is our militarys ignorance and lack of empathy for Muslim and Afghan cultural norms that is the basic cause for our Afghan military partners to react violently and kill our troops.
For example, if our military personnel hear or witness an Afghan soldier sodomizing a young boy, the handbook tells U.S. service members to voice no objection, accept it or ignore it, or they could be killed. If an Afghan beats, rapes or kills a woman in the presence of a U.S. serviceman, they are not to interfere or stand up for womens rights or else they might be killed.
What the Army is saying, in effect, is that if Afghan partners conduct violence against U.S. service personnel, it is the servicemans fault. This is mind-boggling. We know, according to former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Mike Mullen, that nine out of 10 Afghan military personnel are illiterate and cannot be counted on in combat.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtontimes.com ...
As a first step, the Armys draft handbook should be trashed.
Second, Congress must take positive action to protect our First Amendment rights and force the Obama administration to withdraw from any further participation in the Istanbul Process. Third, the unilateral disarmament of our military must be reversed. Its time for members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to take a position that supports the oath they took to protect and defend our Constitution.
Retired Adm. James A. Lyons was commander in chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and senior U.S. military representative to the United Nations.
that nine out of 10 Afghan military personnel are illiterate and cannot be counted on in combat....................................... We'll, I hear that illiteracy was what the earlier occupiers counted on to keep the southern tier as a buffer between India and Pakistan. The Northern end of Afghanistan where the Northern alliance is is the more educated area. IMHO, we are in more of a culture war there, than a religious one. We are still dealing with a primitive culture of tribes and clans, who are stuck in time with no apparent desire to change. So why are we there? Copper Oil and Lithium???
It's high time for this mindless BS to cease and desist.

Identity Manager provides the ability to launch jobs that perform specific tasks. The jobs can be run one or more times either manually or at scheduled times.
Identity Manager provides six predefined jobs:
Random Password Generator: Generates a random password for each object defined in the job's scope. The password is generated by NMAS to match a Password Policy object that the job references. The job submits the generated passwords one at a time to a driver's Subscriber channel. The Subscriber channel policies must take action on the passwords.
Schedule Driver: Starts or stops a driver.
Subscriber Channel Trigger: Sends event documents to be processed by a driver's Subscriber channel. For example, a job could generate an event document to trigger policies associated with a user. Submitted event documents can be queued to the driver cache, or they can bypass the cache and be processed immediately.
Driver Health:
Evaluates the health conditions for a driver, assigns the health state, and carries out any actions associated with the health state. This job is used in conjunction with driver health monitoring. For complete instructions about setting up driver health monitoring, including using the Driver Health job, see
Monitoring Driver Health in the NetIQ Identity Manager 4.0.2 Common Driver Administration Guide.
Password Expiration Notification: Searches an LDAP directory for objects whose passwords expire in a specified number of days. When an object that meets the criteria is discovered, the job sends an e-mail to the address contained in the object's mail LDAP attribute.
Telemetry: Identity Manager Telemetry is a new job introduced with Identity Manager 4.0.1. The job functions as a usage counting tool or a license monitoring tool that provides value to the Identity Manager customers. You can add more licenses or retire unused licenses and leverage benefits such as inactive user pricing.
The Telemetry job collects details about the installed Identity Manager software and hardware, and usage of Identity Manager drivers in the customer environment. After the customer registers with the Novell Customer Center, the information is sent to Novell. This information allows Novell to support the customer better, develop and test Identity Manager more efficiently and effectively, and make important decisions in the future. Registering Identity Manager with Novell has many benefits to the customers. You can receive notifications about available updates and patches and find information about upgrades and special offers for other Novell products, and so on.
The Telemetry feature is invoked by using a telemetry agent, which is triggered through an Identity Manager DirXML job configured on the driver set. Similar to any other Identity Manager jobs, the Telemetry job is configured by using iManager. The Telemetry job can be run one or more times either manually or at scheduled times.
The Telemetry agent collects information into an XML file, which is sent to Novell over a secure HTTP connection. A telemetry file contains the following elements of information:
Information: Contains the customer ID, E-mail address, and the GUID. The GUID is the GUID of the eDirectory server object.
Hardware: Contains information about the memory, number of CPUs, and the hardware architecture of the server where Identity Manager is running.
Software: Contains the following product information:
ProductInfo: The Identity Manager version and the patch level.
UsageInfo: Contains the total count of the Active and Inactive User accounts of the drivers under the diver set that is being queried. Inactive user accounts are the user accounts which are disabled and who have not logged in for more than 120 days.
InstallationInfo: Contains activation information of each driver set .
Host: Contains host information such as the name of the host operating system, version, host type (physical or virtual), host name, and host IP.
Other Items: Contains usage information of each driver under a driver set. Other details such as driver name, driver ID, active and inactive usage count, and the driver set activation state are also added. For the User Application driver, information about the Workflow (Provisioning Request Definitions) objects created on the driver is also included.
Information about using the predefined jobs is provided in Section 2.0, Adding a Predefined Job and Section 3.0, Configuring the Properties of Predefined Jobs.
You can also develop custom jobs to perform tasks. A custom job requires you to create a Job Definition and a Job Implementation. The Job Definition is XML code that defines the parameters for the job. The Job Implementation is a JAR file that contains the Java classes that perform the task. The job can perform any task that you can implement through Java classes. Because the job is initiated through the Metadirectory engine, the job also has access to the Identity Vault data. For more information, see Section 4.0, Creating a Custom Job.

Juan Carlos puts on a high-flying act
Published 10:47 pm, Tuesday, August 5, 2014
Another cliffhanger on NBC's "America's Got Talent."
Fans of Juan Carlos Restrepo and the slightly demented TV variety show will have to wait one more night to see whether Houston's favorite in-line skater and dancer will move on to the semi-finals in the talent competition or give up his dream of $1 million and his own show in Las Vegas.
Whatever happens Wednesday, Juan Carlos tried his hardest Tuesday night at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. As he entertained the live audience in a gold body suit, 16 professional dancers helped him ramp up his performance, which began with what looked like fireworks and a few seconds of flight.
The audience couldn't see the harness under his tight and glittery costume, but it was uncomfortable, Juan Carlos said. "It was very heavy, very bulky, but I did my best."
This was Juan Carlos' third performance before the judges and the third time radio personality Howard Stern slammed his act.
"I wish I could say it was silly and fun, but I was bored out of my skull," Stern said.
And that's when he was being nice.

Two other judges, Howie Mandel and Mel B rushed to Juan Carlos' defense.
"Here's what you do," Mandel told Juan Carlos. "You show up and everybody smiles."
More than 100 fans who couldn't make it to New York attended a watch party at Boheme in Montrose, and they lingered even after Juan Carlos finished his act.
Gonzo, an artist and featured guest, said, "That was entertainment whether you like him or not. What more do you want — he had fireworks coming out of him."
Juan Carlos has been in New York a week and a half, rehearsing with 47 other hopefuls. He's kept on his trademark skates almost all day every day because people recognize him with his Rollerblades and come up and hug him.
"These people love me to death," Juan Carlos said, "but thanks to God I'm coming home to Houston Thursday."
Staff photographer Johnny Hanson contributed to this report.

Yes We Did!
Sorry I've been incommunicado recently. Since the election, I've been trying to get my feet on the ground with a new job, and catching up a little on my sleep. In the weeks leading up to the election, I was working very long days, like many of you, I'm sure. I was out knocking on doors for Barack Obama right up until 6:45 p.m. on Election Day.
What a long road we've traveled. We started out saying, "Yes We Can!" later we said, "Yes We Will!", and now we can say, "Yes We Did!". It took thousands of people like you and me, from all walks of life, all over Colorado and all over the country, working hard for many months giving of their time and money to get the facts out about Senator Obama by holding meetings in their homes with their friends and neighbors, making phone calls, and knocking on doors right up through Election Day to change minds, get out the vote, and make it happen. I am so proud of our State for "turning blue", our country, Senator Obama, and what we all accomplished together.
This campaign demonstrated what is possible when a candidate brings people together around common hopes and goals. This campaign has been transformational. The election of President-Elect Obama has been transformational. It is palpable. I noticed it immediately as I walked out of the Sheraton Hotel Wednesday morning where we stayed election night. As I rode the 16th Street mall shuttle to my office, people looked at each other differently. I looked at people differently too. People of all colors looked at each other in the eye--with fresh eyes, with joy, pride, and hope in their eyes. Have you seen it too?
And now I look forward to watching, and helping in whatever way I can, the further transformation of our national dialog from one based on fear, to one based on hope for what we can and will become individually and collectively.
Thank you again for everything you did, and what I know you will continue to do, to help create the future we all hope for.
Like some of you, my wife, Roxy, and I made our flight and hotel reservations some months ago. We will be in D.C. Jan. 16-23 and look forward to celebrating and participating in what will be a historic Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama! I hope you can make it and join us!

Barack Tells Us, "It's Time to Double-Down"
Barack called us tonight at the South Denver Obama headquarters to thank us for all the work we've done, and to ask us to "double-down" on whatever time commitment we had planned to make over the next 72 hours. The 8 p.m. conference call, just before he went to the podium to speak to a crowd in Springfield, MO, included 20,000 field organizers and volunteer team leaders spread all over the country. Several months ago, he asked us to "make this our project", and tonight he was gracious in his praise for what we have accomplished. He said it was simply "astonishing", and he was "proud" of everyone that has contributed so far.
In addition to that doubling-down and "spending every waking moment" through Election Day calling our supporters and knocking on doors, he asked us to do two other things. He asked us to bring our friends and family for the final push to get out the vote. And he asked us to help keep everyone's spirits up—our fellow volunteers, and the voting public. He said we're on the five-yard line, and we need to "leave it all on the field"—meaning give it all you got and hold nothing back. "We can't let this slip through our fingers".
So, this is it. Are you ready to double-down? Are you willing to "go all in" for Barack and your country? Will we let this slip through our fingers? Will you spend even just 3 hours out of the next 72 to help get out the vote, and perhaps change the course of history?
It's really easy. Just come down to 1355 South Colorado Blvd., or go to www.barackobama.com to find a campaign office near you. We'll train you in small groups (as shown in the photo) in how to talk to our supporters on the phone or on their doorstep. All we're trying to do is to get them to return their mail-in ballot or get to the polls Tuesday. I promise--it's a lot of fun. And you'll be able to look back, and say, "Yeah, I helped make a little history in 2008."

Happy Halloween! Now Let's GOTV!
I must say, I think I really did out-do myself this year! Every year our extended family gets together at a family-member's home for our annual pumpkin carving get-together. This year, it was at our house, and this photo is of my creation. Can you tell who it is? I hope so! The picture, however, simply doesn't do it justice. My whole family, including me, was mesmerized by how much it looked like our candidate for President of the United States, Barack Obama!
After we're all done handing out treats tonight (does anyone do tricks anymore?) and escorting our little ones around the neighborhood, we all need to get to work for the next 4 days. It's called GOTV, or "get out the vote"! The winning candidate will be the one with the most volunteers, and the most organized GOTV effort. Will it be Barack Obama, or John McCain? YOU decide! You can come out and join us this weekend as we begin "chasing" mail-in ballots on the phone or on the streets of the neighborhood by canvassing. We'll be doing the same all day Monday and Election Day. We'll also need drivers for those that need a ride to the polls, and many, many other tasks that need to be done to GOTV. So, PLEASE go to www.barackobama.com to sign-up to help, or call me at 303-907-4664.
Do you want to wake up Wednesday and be sorry you didn't do more? Or do you want to spend the rest of your life knowing that YOU personally contributed to electing Barack Obama, the most transformative President of our lifetime? What future do YOU choose for yourself, your family, and your country?

Largest U.S. Obama Rally Yet at 100,000 Was a Sight to Behold!
Wow! At 1000,000 strong, yesterday's rally was a historical event that I am proud to have been part of! I volunteered for the security detail getting people through the metal detectors. I was fortunate to have a birds eye view watching and welcoming people entering through the only public entrance to the venue at Civic Center Park. The diversity of those entering matches the diversity of our City, State, and Nation. I welcomed babies as young as 3 weeks, and seniors that I am sure were in their 90s. I saw black, white, American Indians and Eastern Indians. I welcomed families, gay and straight, holding their kids' hands, carrying them on their backs or stomachs, or pushing them in their strollers. I even met an entire family from Kenya (where Barack's Father was from), who were as proud as they could and should be. I saw attendees helping those with canes or crutches, and carrying those in wheelchairs, down the stairs at the Greek Theater where all public attendees entered.
For 3 hours, from 9am to Noon, as they streamed through the gate, the best way I can describe the overall mood is "joyful". Clearly, everyone was happy to be there. While many said they had waited in line for 2 hours or more, not a single person complained about it. People said they simply didn't mind waiting in line that long. Many said they it was "enjoyable", and that they met a lot of nice people. I couldn't agree with them more.
As Senator Obama began to speak, the gates were closed, and we were released to go into the venue and listen to his speech. I say "listen" because we had about 50,000 [people in front of us, and another 50,000-plus behind us. The only was I "saw" him was to look through my telephoto lense on my camera (smile). But I'm not complaining either. It was more than enough to hear the clear and inspirational words of the next President of the United States. And as good as that was, it was absolutely breathtaking simply to look around me and see the ocean of cheering, clapping, flag and sign-waving people in front of the City and County Building, to the sides, and running all the way back and up to the top steps of the State Capitol. What I saw all around me was America--joyful, and at peace in the knowledge, or at least in the hope, that this extraordinary man would be the one to unite us, and to lead us through the great challenges before us, and into what surely will be a brighter future.

The Biggest and Best Organized Campaign--Ever!
I just got home from a training session for Obama poll leads and poll checkers. There were a couple hundred volunteers there for 2 hours to learn about their roles on election day. Of course, it took a very large room to accommodate these people. It's the same room used every day and every night to dispatch volunteer canvassers and to house the phone bank. It's also the same room that will be used to train hundreds more Obama volunteers over the coming days. It's at least 3 times as large as the entire Kerry State campaign office where I spent a lot of time 4 years ago.
This is the biggest and best organized Presidential campaign I have ever seen--maybe in history. I think Obama has 50 offices around the state, and more volunteers than you can shake a stick at. Obama will have a volunteer covering almost every precinct at every polling place in Denver to keep track of our supporters who have voted. Then, we have enough volunteer phone bankers to call those that have not voted until they vote, and enough volunteer canvassers to dispatch to the homes of every Obama supporter and, if necessary, sit on their doorstep until they get home from work and get out to vote before 7 pm. Four years ago, we could have only dreamed of such resources! If we had half the number of paid campaign staff and volunteers 4 years ago, John Kerry would be President today! As it is, the number and enthusiasm of Obama's volunteers is going to ensure that he wins November 4th.
Having said that, we can not let down. We can not get comfortable. We can not back off. We will only win if we continue to get out there and continue to identify our remaining supporters through canvassing and phone banking every day until the election, so we have the information we need to get the vote out. We can win, and we will win, if we keep working hard for the next 2 weeks. And if tonight's volunteer turnout is any indication, our folks are chomping at the bit to do the work that needs to be done!

The Best Place to Get Involved in Politics
The best place to really get involved in the political process and change the world as we know it is "The Denver Dems", as we dedicated Democrats call it. I could also say your local Republican Party office, but I won't :-)
You can go there in person by visiting 789 Sherman Street, Suite #145, Denver, Colorado 80203. But save that $4 a gallon gas and visit them virtually at http://denverdemocrats.net/home, or give them a call at 303-830-8242, or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can sign up at the website to receive regular emails about what's going on, and identify fun and meaningful events that you might want to attend.
And if you want to do something right now, in the next few weeks, to change the world, go right to www.barackobama.com and find out how you can get involved NOW. Then you will be able to say that you did something tangible, in addition to casting your own vote, to elect the next President of the United States!
