Editor's note: Alan Schroeder, a professor in the School of Journalism at Northeastern University, is the author of "Presidential Debates: 50 Years of High-Risk TV."
(CNN) -- Add another chapter to the illustrious history of freewheeling vice presidential debates. At Centre College in Kentucky, Joe Biden and Paul Ryan engaged in what might euphemistically be described as a lively exchange of ideas. In reality it felt more like a testy verbal brawl between father and son. Consider these key 5 moments from the debate.
Ryan: No need to apologize
This is a well played moment by Ryan, one of his best of the debate. He has a specific argument to make, and he fleshes out that argument clearly and logically. Ryan also delivers the material in an effective way. You can see his face become more animated as he speaks, and he uses simple rhetoric to express his doubts about the Obama administration's handling of the killing of the U.S. ambassador to Libya.
Politics: Five things we learned from the VP debate
Biden's strategic anger
In this clip, Biden delivers the attack everybody had expected President Obama to launch in the first debate. Biden is sharply critical of disparaging comments made by Mitt Romney and Ryan about Americans who, for one reason or another, do not pay income tax. This is classic Biden. He takes a large philosophical abstraction about the role of government in people's lives and personalizes it, citing his parents, his neighbors, the people he grew up with, seniors, veterans and soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. It's quite a list, and he delivers it convincingly and passionately.
Ryan pushes back on the 47% remark
This represents an attempt by Ryan to use humor to deflect a negative, in this case Romney's now-famous comment about the 47% of Americans who don't pay taxes. Debate strategists plan these moments in advance, but it is impossible to predict how they will actually play. In joking about Biden's propensity for verbal gaffes, Ryan is suggesting that Romney mangled his words when referring to the 47%. Ryan does a decent job delivering the line that had been written for him, and he even gets a laugh from the audience. But in the final analysis there's not much Ryan or anyone else can do to counteract the damage caused by Romney's original comment.
Biden: Now you're Jack Kennedy?
In this exchange the two candidates struggle to dominate the conversation -- again, I am reminded of a father and son going at it over the dinner table. The look of feigned incredulity on Biden's face as Ryan speaks is priceless. For his part, Ryan can barely contain his exasperation at being talked over. Biden's line -- "Oh, and now you're Jack Kennedy" -- is a not too subtle allusion to the classic vice presidential debate putdown from 1988, when Lloyd Bentsen told Dan Quayle, "Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." Ryan attempts to laugh off the insult, but he seems a bit rattled here. Biden appears to have hit a nerve. Shouldn't candidates know by now that it's never safe to invoke John F. Kennedy in a presidential debate?
Politics: First two debates couldn't be more different
Ryan loses his cool
Stylistically this is one of Ryan's low points in the debate. Unsure how to handle Biden's perturbed tone, Ryan loses his cool. He begins squirming in his chair and moving his neck like a bobblehead doll. At a couple of points he emits a strange, snort-like chuckle, a sound that does not exactly enhance his maturity. For the most part in this debate, Ryan did not let an overbearing Biden get under his skin, but not in this clip.
Let's give Ryan credit where credit is due. Before the debate he predicted that Biden would come at him "like a cannonball," and indeed he did. Though it wasn't always pretty, Biden managed to dominate the evening, an old lion who had no intention of being taken down by the young gun sitting across the table.
Like a master thespian on opening night, Biden conspicuously deployed pretty much his entire bag of performing tricks: dramatic line-readings, huge smiles, exaggerated laughter, asides to the audience. As over-the-top as some of this became, it got the job done. For much of the debate the super-charged veep kept his opponent in a defensive crouch. At times it looked as if Ryan was afraid Biden might ground him and take away the car keys.
Ryan did have his moments in this debate, but overall he came across as not quite seasoned enough for the office he seeks. Undergirding every vice presidential debate is the question of which candidate is ready to step into the Oval Office at a moment's notice. By this standard, Ryan failed to hit the mark.
Which is not to suggest that the man has no future in presidential politics. The years will obviously take him beyond the problem of immaturity. If Mitt Romney loses this election, it is not inconceivable that four years from now Ryan and Biden might even end up back onstage together, as co-stars in a presidential debate.
Opinion: Sports bar Biden vs. seminar Ryan
Overall, this debate's most striking characteristic was the age gap between candidates. In the optics of televised debates a generational difference can cut either way: the older candidate might look out of date and past his prime, or wise and experienced. The younger candidate might look fresh and energetic, or not ready for prime time. In this case, Biden's age tended to work in his favor; Ryan's youth worked against him.
Beyond the matter of gravitas, Biden won the debate for a second reason: he managed to put on the table most of the issues that President Obama failed to raise in Denver. This was a tricky maneuver, but for the most part Biden accomplished his mission. This allows Obama to hit the reset button for his rematch with Romney next week.

Kichijoji in Tokyo: great for fashion, relaxing and a lovely park
Kichijoji in Tokyo: great for fashion, relaxing and a lovely park
Lee Jay Walker
Modern Tokyo Times
Kichijoji is a very desirable place to reside in Tokyo and just like Jiyugaoka, Shimo-Kitazawa and Nakano each place attracts many people because of the trendy feel to each area. Fashion is more independent and you have smaller companies to search out and many places to relax for coffee, wine or a nice meal.
These places are outside of the main central Tokyo hub and the more famous places like Ebisu, Ginza, Ikebukuro, Harajuku, Omotesando, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ueno and other parts of Tokyo may hog the limelight; however, Kichijoji, Jiyugaoka, Nakano, and Shimo-Kitazawa have their own special feel and they add to the power of Tokyo which is awash with fashionable places to visit.
Therefore, when you visit places like Kichijoji and Shimo-Kitazawa you can walk around many shopping streets and alleyways and often you will find somewhere new which attracts your eye.
The boutiques and other shopping stores have a more independent feel and this attracts the younger generation and this is the beauty of places like Kichijoji. After all, it is nice to have exquisite fashion, fancy restaurants, coffee shops and a lovely park to relax in.
Also, the pace of life is more soothing than the high octane nature of Shinjuku and other main areas in Tokyo which are all fantastic places to visit but in Kichijoji you can find that extra breathing space within minutes of leaving the main area. Therefore, the younger generation and all generations can make the most of this ambient part of Tokyo and Kichijoji is a very desirable place to move to and relocate if you reside in Tokyo.
Inokashira Koen (park) adds to the quaint alleyways and independent stores which sell unique products and trendy clothing. This park is a lovely place to visit and unwind from the stresses of life and it adds to your visit to Kichijoji.
Another appealing nature of this part of Tokyo is live house, blues bars, jazz kissa (jazz coffee shops) and many a young band began in this environment. Therefore, the musical nature of Kichijoji appeals to the younger generation and avid music fan.
Therefore, if you want to experience another part of Tokyo then Kichijoji is a great place to visit and relax and the stunning park means that you can have a most enjoyable day.
All in all, Kichijoji is great for fashion because of department stores and more importantly, elegant and independent boutiques can be found in abundance. The area is very busy in the central location but the streets and alleyways enable you to relax. Therefore, the environment changes quickly and the park and architecture comes together and expands the richness of this upmarket and trendy part of Tokyo.
The music scene is also vibrant and you can feel the energy of the next generation and this aspect means that it is a magnet for the younger generation.
Kichijoji is a lovely part of Tokyo!

15 Years Ago: Paul McCartney Makes Emotional Appearance at 'Concert for Linda'
On April 10, 1999, Paul McCartney made his first public appearance since his wife Linda passed nearly a year earlier – and just his second in the two years she'd battled breast cancer – during a touching farewell concert.
Held before some 5,000 fans at London's Royal Albert Hall, the "Concert for Linda" was organized by her friend and fellow animal rights activist, Chrissie Hynde, among others.
"She's with us," McCartney said that night. "She's loving it."
The all-star lineup on stage included Hynde's Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Tom Jones, Sinead O'Connor, Johnny Marr of the Smiths, George Michael, Neil Finn of Crowded House (whose 'She Goes On' was particularly moving), Marianne Faithfull and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who'd risen to global fame with Paul Simon. Michael said he was moved to take the stage for the first time in nearly three years because his "mother lost the same fight, the same battle that Linda lost."
Proceeds for "The Concert for Linda," hosted by the comedian Eddie Izzard, went toward animal charities, which caused the host to quip, "Some bunny rabbit's going to go: 'Hey, those guys rocked for us.'"
McCartney was backed by members of the Pretenders, along with Costello, for his appearance. He dedicated his set to Linda, whom he called "my beautiful baby — and our beautiful children, who are here tonight." He then joked: "It's past your bedtime" before launching into Ricky Nelson's "Lonesome Town" (a favorite of the couple's as youngsters) amidst a standing ovation.
As he played an energetic version of the Beatles' 1963 hit "All My Loving," many of the evening's stars began to congregate on stage, joining in for a rousing chorus. Hynde rushed over for an emotional embrace afterward, prompting McCartney to quip: "I'll warn security about you!" Everyone then joined in for a closing take on "Let It Be," the title track from the Beatles' 1970 swansong album.

Beth Daane needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 139 designs submitted by 48 freelance designers.
Can you make all these things fit together?! I am looking for a logo to really describe who I am as a photog. I strive for capturing who my client is and really digging into their soul and pulling it to the forefront of my images. I like simplicity, but also like logo's that are distinct and stand out among the rest. Discrete punch is what I am looking for.
Beth Daane Photography
Desired Color Scheme:
Love browns and earthtones w/ mixes of other color- open to other options.
Desired Style:
Not too contemporary, but fresh, striking, elegant, bold, fun, PROFESSIONAL
Accepted File Formats:
jpeg, psd, any others
I don't like hearts, stars, or things that are too "frilly & fussy" but do like some scrolling details and such. I don't like the idea of a "camera" being in my logo. The casualness of undercase lettering is appealing to me, but I am open to many things. I wear many faces and have different sides to my business.
**Please don't delete your entries! I visit, visit and re-VISIT each entry often and just because if might seem that feedback isn't positive, I just might REALLY like it!**

F8 now has several years under its belt, and attendees and the media have come to expect that as Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's CEO, takes the stage at the one-day annual Developers Conference, something is about to change on the landscape of social networking.
The anticipation for this F8 was certainly no different, as tickets for the event sold out in a number of minutes. The release of a second round of tickets sold out even faster. Put the leaks and rumors aside, attendees from all over the world were expecting big things.
My first overall impression of the keynote sessions was how big a role photos and visual media play in the new Facebook experience, both for consumers, and ultimately, brands.
The Photos app has always been one of Facebook's most popular. As such, the writing was on the Wall, so to speak, to make improvements in the presentation and consumption experience. As of late, Facebook had fallen behind in terms of photo user and engagement experience found on other social networks like Tumblr, Posterous and Google+.
None of the announcements last week highlighted photos and visual imagery as much as the Timeline feature, inspired by Nick Felton – now Facebook employee – and his iconic Feltron Annual Report.
It should be noted, that for Felton to create the magic that is his annual report, he saves literally thousands of notes, receipts, photos and other data from the most minute aspects of his life.
It remains to be seen if Facebook users are willing to give that level of detail to a social network. That said, if even a fraction of Facebook users curate their lives in as much detail as Felton, marketers will certainly be frothing at the mouth.
Obviously, Facebook takes into consideration that there are only a handful of Feltons within the newly announced record 500 million daily users, and the rest can add paint to this canvas less frequently, while still building a meaningful 'scrapbook' of their lives.
The second major announcement was Open Graph, whose capabilities enable a richer, more direct relationship between individuals and the places, events, and content they care about.
Companies such as Spotify, Goodreads, Yahoo, Wetpaint and Netflix showcased their Open Graph apps, signaling the evolution of a platform where media is only 'teed up' by the publisher, and where deep interaction, discussion and sharing between users can finally occur.
This is a welcome change. Brands on Facebook who made great efforts to present quality content on Facebook could, in some instances, be penalized by its popularity.
Users who want to interact with great content on large Facebook Pages can easily become lost in meaningless streams of user commentary. The new changes rely substantially on the activity and influence of your friends for engagement and interaction, reducing the size of the influence circle, but making it more relevant.
Sound familiar?
As a social media entrepreneur, I see Facebook's new content and canvas strategy as an extraordinary opportunity for brands and publishers.
Users will have the ability to express preference and share experiences in entirely new ways. Smart brands will recognize their role within the canvas of their audience, using creativity to shape 'serendipity" as Zuckerberg termed it, without coming across as pushy or salesy.
Facebook makes changes – big changes – all the time.
Users squabble, and then they get used to them.
It will undoubtedly take users some time to get used to Timeline, Ticker, Open Graph, and, of course, the word 'serendipity.'
But in the end, the control to curate their own stories and lives will win over the running list of 'stuff,' which is what the Wall risked becoming. For brands, Timeline and Open Graph are huge steps forward in the ability to create lasting relationships with customers and clients.
Let's see where this new level of interaction and engagement takes us.
Leigh Fatzinger, who attended this year's F8 conference, is CEO of Seattle social media software company Prosodic and founder of Nology Media.

Local 4-H members learn 'superhero' leadership skills at conference
Send a link to a friend
17, 2014]
"There's a superhero in all
of us," according to Deb Stocker, University of Illinois Extension
specialist in 4-H youth development. More than 100 seventh- and
eighth-grade youth learned ways to sharpen those "superhero"
leadership skills at the 2014 Illinois 4-H Junior Leadership
Conference Feb. 7-8 at the Decatur Conference Center and Hotel in
Youth attending the conference included Griffen Jodlowski, a
member of Atlanta Town & Country 4-H, and Clayton Skelton, a member
of the Middletown 4-H'ers.
Rod Stoll, Farm Credit Illinois public relations vice president
and Illinois 4-H alum, inspired the 4-H members to keep improving
themselves, stretch their possibilities, live in genuine gratitude,
serve others and keep a young-at-heart attitude. He encouraged the
4-H members to find 10 things each day to be thankful for and live
in genuine gratitude as they strive to be of service to others.
"As 4-H members, we are all about serving others," Stoll said.
When asked what they would take away from the conference,
Jodlowski said he "learned much about leadership and life," and his
favorite quote from the conference was Wayne Gretzky's "You miss 100
percent of the shots you don't take."
Skelton said he "enjoyed the mixer activities, giving an
opportunity to meet new people and learn about them in a quick and
fun way." He added: "All the action and surprises make you want to
come back to the conference just as soon as it is over. It's really
a great time."
[to top of second column]
The conference was taught by members of the Illinois 4-H Youth
Leadership Team, a team of uniquely trained high school and
college-age 4-H members and young adult 4-H alumni. Logan County
members of the Youth Leadership Team are Cameron Jodlowski and
Rachel Skelton.
A portion of the conference expenses was covered by the Illinois
4-H Foundation.

What to do without Ruegs and Rak?
The DU hockey team will use a patchwork lineup against Sacred Heart and Dartmouth/Northern Michigan in the Dec. 28-29 Denver Cup at Magness Arena.
Linemates Tyler Ruegsegger and Rhett Rakhshani, part of the Pios' Super Sophs Trio that includes leading-scorer Brock Trotter, will miss the annual holiday tournament to play for the U.S. World Junior Team in the World Junior Championship at the Czech Republic.
I spoke with coach George Gwozdecky on Monday and, given that he has just 13 forwards – and just 11 for the Denver Cup – he has two choices: go with seven defensemen and 11 forwards, or the typical six D and 12 Fs in unusual fashion.
DU is limited to taking 22 players on the road, and the two guys that have been the extra bodies have been defensemen Julian Marcuzzi and John Ryder. The 13th forward, recruited freshman walk-on Stephen Cunningham, hasn't played.
George says he'll play his best 20 players in the Denver Cup, and he hinted that since Marcuzzi and Ryder are among the top 22, they might get first crack at replacing Ruegsegger and Rakhshani.
If that's the case, the Pios won't go with eight D and 10 forwards, but instead have Marcuzzi and/or Ryder play up front.
You know, that's not a bad deal. Marcuzzi, a junior, is a really good kid and Ryder, a freshman that was brought in late — after Keith Seabrook left for major-junior in the summer — is going to play a ton at D in the next three seasons.
It'll be nice to get them in back-to-back games.
So I view the World Junior duty thing as a plus for everyone affiliated with the local program. Might be different if DU was scheduled to play a national power, but that's not the case. — MC

There is no word more evocative in the urban vernacular than "suburb." For most of us, those two syllables conjure a very specific type of place, with a specific kind of people comfortably living there.
"We think about suburbs in one way," says Elizabeth Kneebone, a fellow at the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Policy Program. "We have a very stereotypical view of suburbs as middle-class, affluent, Leave-It-To-Beaver type places."
And yet, over the last decade, suburbs have increasingly become home to America's poor. Between 2000 and 2011, the population living in American cities below the poverty line increased by 29 percent. During that same time, across the country in the suburbs of metropolitan areas as diverse as Atlanta and Detroit and Salt Lake City, the ranks of the poor grew by 64 percent. Today, more poor people live in the suburbs (16.4 million of them) than in U.S. cities (13.4 million), despite the perception that poverty remains a uniquely urban problem.
As Kneebone and colleague Alan Berube have written before for Cities, this geographic shift has been no quirk of the recession. It began before the housing market crashed, and will inevitably tax communities unaccustomed to housing the poor well into and beyond the recovery. The changing shape of poverty is more systemic than an economic downturn, as Kneebone and Berube document in a new book that corrals several years of research on the topic, Confronting Suburban Poverty in America.
"Often when we talk about rising suburban poverty, people automatically think about, 'Well, who's moving into these neighborhoods?'" Kneebone says. "But it's not just people moving in. There have been two downturns in the last decade, and long-running structural changes in the economy, finding a lot of long-time suburban residents growing poorer, slipping down the economic ladder."
The pattern does vary, though, across the country: El Paso, Texas, has a suburban poverty rate of 34.6 percent; Des Moines, Iowa has the lowest among America's 100 largest metros, at 5.7 percent. These cities have seen some of the most dramatic changes in a decade:
Kneebone and Berube have built individual profiles of suburban poverty for each of the country's 100 largest metros, underscoring that a problem many keep at arm's reach is closer than people expect.
"These are really shared challenges," Kneebone says. "The more people can recognize that their community is a part of this trend, that maybe their neighbor is affected by growing poverty, that hopefully would help galvanize some action around this."
Until now, though, elected officials, service providers and federal programs have yet to catch up to this new picture. And regions will swiftly realize that poverty programs designed for dense urban neighborhoods transplant poorly onto suburbia. "We've seen that the suburban safety net – it's much thinner, it's much patchier, and it's spread over greater distances," Kneebone says.
Many suburbs, for instance, don't have the kinds of public transit networks that can connect impoverished neighborhoods to job opportunities. And it's significantly harder to address poverty through transportation when low-income households in need of it live dispersed over larger areas. Suburbs also simply lack the built-in networks of service providers that have grown up over decades in inner-city communities.
All of this means that if the geography of poverty has dramatically changed over the last decade, we'll have to spend the next decade (and likely more) thinking about how to address it in its newest forms.
"This really isn't about shifting resources away form cities to suburbs, or saying 'Oh look here, now the problem is in suburban communities,'" Kneebone says. "It is understanding that this is a regional issue, that suburbs face the same challenges that cities have been facing for decades. But we have an opportunity now to change the way we tackle these challenges so we don't create the same mistakes in the suburbs that have led to concentrations of poverty in cities."

A different kind of wealth distribution in 17th-century Amsterdam paved the way for its quintessential home design.
Public transportation systems in the United States gained passengers over the second and third quarters of 2019. But the boost came from two large cities.
Livability indexes can obscure the experiences of non-white people. CityLab analyzed the outcomes just for black women, for a different kind of ranking.
In most major cities, fewer than 15 percent of voters turn out to cast a ballot for mayor.

Celebrating 20 years of community-led development "The Apache Way"
- Projects
- People
- Community
- License
- Sponsors
When choosing a name for a new Apache project, or for a new downloadable software product within an existing Apache project, we need to ensure the new name will be suitable. First, we want to ensure that the new name won't infringe or unduly conflict with any existing software products that already exist, and second, we need to understand how well the ASF and the project will be able to defend our use of the name going forward.
These are general guidelines for considering new names, either for podlings
undergoing Incubation, or existing projects creating new software products
or subprojects. PPMC/PMC members must read the
detailed name search process to actually conduct a search.
"Apache" is our main trademark, or "house mark" for our overall software development process, and is shared amongst all Apache projects and podlings.
All top level projects must use the format Apache Foo for their branding. However in common usage it will get referred to as just Foo. So choose carefully.
Use internet search tools to be sure that there is no "similar" product, i.e. software for a specific purpose.
When people conduct an internet search after hearing about an ASF project, they will use some technical terms and a name. We want to appear near the top and not get confused with someone else in the same technical space.
Potential search confusion is important for another reason. Apache projects are often very quickly highly ranked. An Apache project with a similar name to someone else in the same technical space may quickly come to dominate searches in that space. If someone else holds a related trademark then this may lead to a legal dispute. As a non-profit organization, the ASF and Apache projects have no business conflicting with an existing trademark for software products or related services.
Even if a product name cannot be found via a search, if you are aware that it is being used for a similar product then we cannot use it.
You may want to choose a name that is easily remembered, is not too long, and is not difficult to spell.
Be culturally sensitive and avoid names that might offend.
Consider using functional names, especially for products of existing projects, e.g. for an "Apache Foo" project, the product name "Apache Foo Pipelines".
Be good citizens, i.e. do unto others as you would expect that they should do unto you. For example, treat the product names of others with respect, i.e. do not try a twist that is close to the name of a similar product.
Choose a sensible name early in a product's development, e.g. before mailing lists, package names, etc. Better to spend time now - your project will not want to change its product's name later.
See this as an important marketing opportunity, rather than a bother.
By carefully validating the uniqueness of our chosen names and clearly establishing first use in the field, we reduce the chances of future confusion.
The purpose of trademarks is to reduce the likelihood of confusion for users attempting to find our software - to distinguish our software from software coming from some other organization or individual.
Trademarks exist by virtue of use, not just registration. Once we publicly release a downloadable software product called Apache Foo, and refer to it with that name consistently, then Apache Foo is our common law trademark for that software.
The fact that a word or phrase is not registered as a trademark does not necessarily indicate that it is available for our use. If the mark is used in commerce but not registered, then we still cannot copy it for our goods.
Trademarks only apply within a specific class of goods - software products - and to a degree, only with products of similar functionalities.

Even conservatives shun 3 controversial ballot measures
Opponents of the Big Three on the November ballot, take heart: Even Republicans running for the state legislature from conservative Douglas County are leery of them.
All three candidates in the GOP primary in House District 44 were asked about Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 for The Denver Post's online voter guide.
David Casiano, Chris Holbert and Polly Lawrence are vying for the seat now held by House Minority Leader Mike May, R-Parker, who is term limited.
Here's the question they were asked:
Three ballot measures before voters in November – Amendments 60 and 61 and Proposition 101 – would slash state and local taxes by several billion dollars and dramatically limit the ability of state and local governments to borrow money. Do you support any or all of these initiatives? Explain.
Here's how they answered:
Polly Lawrence:
I oppose all three measures. While arguably well-intentioned, I view these measures as an emotional overreaction to Governor Ritter's mill levy freeze, the FASTER bill and the reckless deficit-spending of the Obama Administration. I understand and share the frustration behind the ballot measures. However, if approved, they would erode the basic quality of life upon which the people of Colorado rely. These measures preempt local control and replace it with state government mandates.
David Casiano:
No! I do not support any of these initiatives because they will severely cripple our school districts, bridge and road repairs, special districts, as well as local governments. Yes, people want their taxes cut, and so do I, but these initiatives (an overreaction to Democratic spending) are being foisted upon Colorado by outside organizations from Washington D.C. I would like to reciprocate and foist the same initiatives on Washington D.C. In other words, lead by example, Washington D.C.
Chris Holbert:
It is disappointing that so little information is available to explain how the language of the three measures was established, or how state and local governments would be affected should one, two, or all three of the measures pass. If you're frustrated with legislators who vote without knowing what is actually in a bill, then ask yourself if you really know how these three measures would affect your state and local government. If not, then the only responsible vote would be a no vote.

by Lou Mancinelli
Dr. James Zogby, founder and president of the Washington D.C. based Arab American Institute discussed his new book "Arab Voices – What They Are Saying To Us, and Why It Matters," (Palgrave Macmillan, October 2010) Monday evening at the Woodmere Art Museum as part of the speaker series of the Chestnut Hill Book Festival.
Zogby's research, he said, is full of illuminating contradictions between American perceptions and fact about Arabs — people living in the 22 Arab language-speaking countries that stretch from northern Africa to central Asia. Arabs, Zogby said, actually like Americans and share many of the same values and concerns.
But, Zogby said,level of inaccurate information and myths perpetuated by America's media and imposed on the political and social culture about violent, religious Arabs breeds widespread ignorance about who the people living in the Arab world actually are. And that is a risk, a dangerous setup he said.
"It's not just that we don't know," he said, "but we don't want to know because it changes the politics of what we want to do."
Zogby, who often appears on television and radio — and since 1992 has written a weekly column on U.S. politics for 14 major Arab newspapers — used as an example a host of lies in newspaper and television reports leading up to and into the war in Iraq, He mentioned the false reports about weapons of mass destruction, promises that the war would be fast, and the inaccurate images of Iraqis throwing flowers and welcoming American troops.
"When we started polling around the Iraq War, 73 percent of Democrats said they needed to know more," said Zogby, also a senior analyst with his brother's polling firm, Zogby International and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. "Eighty-two percent of Republicans said they already knew enough."
"When we ask Americans why they [Arabs] hate us, 85 percent say because of our values, " Zogby said. "But 65 percent of Arabs say they like our values."
His message was this: We need to listen to what people in the Arab world are saying. He said that if people listened, they would realize what Americans and Arabs have in common. If we do not listen, he said, the result would be a sense of certitude about false impressions of Arab people presented to us in the media and by our political leaders.
The book is based on a decade of data pulled from. Zogby's polling of people of varying ranges of educational levels, professions and ages.
Zogby, a co-founder of the Palestine Human Rights Campaign who frequently traveled to the Middle East in delegations with former Vice-President Al Gore, said his polling shows a people that lok a lot more like us than we think.
"When we poll, we find the number one priority in their lives is the economy. Number two is education, and number three is healthcare," he said. "They worry about if they are going to be able to take care of their children."
Another myth of the image of Arabs is they are people who are so different they have nothing in common, but according to Dr. Zogby there are common threads.
"It's almost like you open a window and you hear voices shouting out at us," said Dr. Zogby. "You learn they don't hate us."
As an example, Zogby referred to a mall in Saudi Arabia in which the Starbucks in the middle is a popular location, not because the coffee is good, according to Zogby, but because "they are buying a piece of America." In that same mall, he saw a teenage boy wearing jeans and a Yankees cap.
"We export a way of life, believe it or not," Zogby said.
One of the most popular shows in the Arab world, according to Dr. Zogby is "Arab's Got Talent," something like "American Idol."
"It's us," said he said. "That's what we do."
Religious shows, he noted, ranked eight out of nine on favorite programs to watch in the Arab world. The list was topped by movies, game and reality shows.
That does not mean that there are not problems, Zogby said, Palestine is to the Arabs what the Holocaust is to the Jewish, according to. Zogby. Not because of the scale, but because they look at it and see commonalities and the loss of dignity in a world they cannot control.
"They see that it could be me," he said. "It's one of the ties that bind."
While it upset Zogby that three times as many American students study Japanese than Arabic as a foreign language, he is inspired by efforts across the nation by students who organize and start Arab clubs at their schools to learn more about the part of the world that, according to Dr. Zogby, has more U.S. investments, interest and allies than any other part of the world.
Perhaps as compelling as Zogby's message are his questions. How can we learn more? What can we do?
"We listen," he said. "The problem is we don't listen. Our policy makers don't listen. If you want someone to hear you, listen to them first."
Zogby fielded a few questions from the crowd of more than 50 at the event sponsored by the Chestnut Hill Business Association (CHBA).
One member of the audience asked Zogby about accuracy those polled might or might not be wary of speaking the truth for fear of being punished.
Zogby said that he and his staff, who only poll in democratic Arab countries, heard so many responses that were critical of their current government and nepotism, he did believe people were responding in earnest. For example, 76 percent of Arabs believe women should have rights and 74 percent believe in a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
About Egypt, he said that America is viewed as part of the problem and not as part of the solution. One reason Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is disliked is because of his support of the things like the Iraq War and the United States.
"We won't change until more people are educated," said Chestnut Hill resident Julia Sawabini after the presentation. "We won't change until more people speak up and until we stop saying 'Arabs are terrorists.' I grew up and Israelis were freedom fighters and Arabs were terrorists. How can you ever have an understanding when things are like that?"
"Arab Voices – What They Are Saying To Us, and Why It Matters," is available at amazon.com and numerous other locations.

Fundraiser for blast-hit Paktia University launched
Fundraiser for blast-hit Paktia University launched
GARDEZ (Pajhwok): A youth group has launched a fundraiser for reconstruction of the university in southeastern Paktia province after a heavy explosion badly damaged the campus in Gardez, the provincial capital.
The suicide and gun attack on the police headquarters in Gardez left 41 people, including the provincial police chief, dead and some 200 others, mostly civilians, wounded on October 17.
The hours-long and multipronged attack also damaged several buildings including the university.
A group, Teri Youths Association, has started collecting donations from people and drivers entering or leaving Gardez.
The association says they plan to take the fundraising campaign to the interior city and businessmen.
Ahmadullah Ahmadi, head of the association, told Pajhwok Afghan News that their aim was to improve people's interest in education and welfare activities and motivate them to help themselves.
"This drive will also send a message to government officials that Paktia residents have a special interest in education," he said.
Ahmadi said they had collected 200,000 afghanis so far as the fundraiser continued.
"Alhamdulillah, our people have the will to support academic places and this campaign would further empower that spirit, we also voice on officials to pay attention," he said.
Zar Wali Khan, a member of the association who collects donations, said people helped the drive beyond their expectations.
"Trust me, our people show a very strong love when they hear the name of university, even day laborers are donating money, we also give a receive-cheque to drivers, some people donate more money," he said.
Dr. Sayed Wali Jalalzai, chancellor of Paktia University, said the university building suffered 18 million afghanis losses in the blast.
He said the Ministry of Higher Education had provided only eight million afghanis which was not enough for the reconstruction of the university building.
Jalalzai was happy about the youths' fundraiser for the university and said people's interest in education development had increased compared to the past.

The Importance of Engineering in Georgia
Did you realize that the car you drive or the bus you ride to school was designed by an engineer? This skilled trade offers more than the typical 4-year college diploma with the potential to earn back your college tuition while still in school. The industry offers the opportunity for advancement and job security. Similar to many other trades, engineering businesses are searching for qualified workers due to a growing skilled labor gap in the state.
Athens Technical College students Josh Dyer and Joshua Sullivan decided to study engineering because of the endless opportunities in the industry.
"With my degree, I plan to work as an engineer technician until I get established and then go back to school because engineering is never ending," said Dyer. "Our society would not be where we are today without engineers. As times continue to progress, so will the engineering field. Engineering is always changing and that is one thing that draws me towards it."
As engineering students, both Dyer and Sullivan maintain full-time jobs while attending classes. Sullivan works as a mechanical engineering technician for Baldor. His program provides him with the opportunity to find a company he enjoys working for and the chance to climb the corporate ladder before even graduating.
"There are many benefits to working in a skilled trade," said Sullivan. "One that comes to mind first is job security; skilled workers are in high demand. So if you can learn a skill and be good at it, you will always be able to get a job."
Dyer and Sullivan said they always gravitated towards engineering because of the opportunity to utilize their problem solving skills while still working with their hands.
Go Build Georgia, an initiative tasked with spreading the word about opportunities in the skilled trades, provides resources and information to students looking to get involved with the industry. The Go Build Georgia website is a great tool that outlines different career paths, wage information and the training required for each trade.
[Go Build Georgia was replaced by Trade Five in 2016. Learn more at GeorgiaTradeFive.com.]
One of the great aspects of the trade is the numerous paths within the skill itself. For example, civil engineering includes planning, designing and overseeing construction and maintenance of building structures and facilities (such as the roads and bridges we drive on).
Our daily lives would lack the innovations and conveniences brought by all fields of engineering. This trade is a key to the foundation in which our society thrives.

Stop bullying before it ever starts by talking with your kids about bullying. Share what bullying is and what to do when it happens. We can't go everywhere with them but we can show them how to treat others with respect and protect themselves in a safe manner when things go too far.
With school starting back soon, it's important we teach our children ways to stay safe in different situations. The first in this blog series not only teaches kids how to stay safe when riding the bus, but it also gives information to motorists on how to properly share the road with students, buses, and pedestrians.
The legislative session is over and done, and all that's left to do is obey the new laws, most of which take effect July 1.
While many of this year's new laws will have little or minor impact on Georgians' day-to-day lives, there is one big act that could have a drastic effect on highway safety.

These Cats Had Rough Days, So Now They're Getting Massages
Even if you sleep for 20 hours a day, like a standard housecat, there's really nothing like a good back rub to relax you.
A cat's life can be pretty stressful, even for just fours hours out of 24. There are all sorts of insects flying around the house that need chasing. There are dogs that walk by outside—they need to be hissed at. And have you ever seen how many squirrels there are out there, plotting their inevitable home invasion? Someone's gotta keep an eye on them, and that task falls to the kitty of the house.

Ramblings on 1/11 anniversary
An entire generation has been lost thanks to the meaningless arguments they have had to witness in that most sacred of our political places, Jatiyo Shongshod Bhobon.
Those arguments were petty, but dangerous.
Petty because, when your country's highest decision-makers debate most passionately over "Who's the father of the nation/declarer of independence", you know there is something rotten in the state of Bangladesh.
Dangerous because they effectively tainted the meaning of the word "politics" for an entire generation. Much needed discussions on a variety of issues from hereonin will be stopped by using a simple formula: "Bangali shobhaab hochchey shob kichu niye politics kora" or a variation thereof. Which is a pity, because politics is the norm, such as being right-handed. Lack of politics is the exception - sometimes enforced abnormally - or being left-handed. Dirty politics is a disease afflicting the right-hand for which being left-handed is not the answer.
Then came 1/11. I too had hopes during those heady days of January when a disgraceful scholar-president was being neutralised and the overnight millionaires were getting locked up. The rumours were shadowy, so one did not know what to believe. For the sake of one's sanity, one believed the best. The lists were long, so one did not quite notice that a few odd-ones-out had slipped in. Yet, one believed the best.
I too had hopes on 1/11. As part of the generation fed up with Mujib VERSUS Zia, crooks versus thiefs and brothers versus brothers, I had hopes that day. Naive? Perhaps, but no regrets as always.
Bit by bit over the summer, I have lost those hopes. I have become gradually disillusioned with the military-backed-and/or-led-and-maybe-civilian-controlled-caretaker-no!-national-unity-ok-maybe-not government, often fondly, wistfully, almost nostalgically abbreviated to "CTG".
Any criticism of this government is usually countered with the question (or accusation), "Would you rather there be corruption in your country?" or some variation of it. My answer is a humble no. I'm however yet to see any sound reason as to why people think that the CTG's actions will reduce corruption.
Criticism more strident might lead to censorship, perhaps even jail. Thankfully I write online and the majority of Bangladeshis do not read this language anyway. Even more importantly, I do not reside in Dhaka. There used to be a time when I would inevitably add "unfortunately" to that last statement. Nowadays I'm not so sure.
Without further ceremony let me walk you through the milestones I've constructed marking out my journey from hope to disillusionment over the course of 4 months of summer. Please remember, these are entirely my personal reactions. Yours will be different. The time frame represents the free time I had to concentrate on Bangladeshi politics on a day-to-day basis. No doubt the warning signs were already there before summer (that call to Mahfuz Anam, MK Alamgir's arrest, the unequal application of the law, Choles Ritchil's death at the hands of army personnel), but I was either too dumb, too naive or too busy to pay attention.
Milestone 1: The arrest of journalist Tasneem Khalil - May 10th in the Western Hemisphere.
My first inkling that the "revolution" had lived up to the Shavian view of revolutions. It was becoming business as usual for this government as it had become of every other "revolutionary" government. On that evening, as the sun was starting its habit of setting late in the western sky, I could have written the entire script for the farce to follow the arrest of a journalist critical of the regime made by plain clothes men without warrants: follow it up with an unproven, unprovable, reputation-damaging, we-have-evidence-you-cannot-see sort of accusation of "anti-state activities", then either keep him/her in custody indefinitely or hound the accused into exile. If you know your Kafka or recent (2001-present) American history, then you know this script. Who says we don't embrace American ideas enough?
Oh and before the usual doubters start formulating their conspiracy theories about how all of us bloggers simply echo each others' views (or are in the pay of political parties or whatever), let me be very clear in saying once again: in defending him, I stood up for one of my core principles: "I might disagree with what you say but I will defend till death your right to say it". Sadly, no government of Bangladesh has embraced that principle till this day.
In conclusion, though Mr. Khalil was thankfully released within 24 hours (though not without some "forget-me-nots" from his detainers), the incident had laid bare how similar this regime was to the ones it had followed. That he was later hounded into exile like many a dissident before him simply confirmed it.
Milestone 2: The Jute Mills Fiasco at Khalishpur - July-August.
Once again, the indications were there from the start. Poor people getting beaten up for asking their due wages.
But what unfolded in Khalishpur went far beyond the shutting down of factories, that tragic end of the miguided ethos of state capitalism. What happened in Khalishpur signalled that the old ways were definitely not gone. I speak of the constant suspicion in which every organ of this and all previous governments regard the citizen. This is Dr. Muhammad Zafar Iqbal on his experiences there as part of a citizens' initiative to help the jute workers:
"When we arrived in Khalishpur, we started noticing something odd. Police, NSI, DGFI - all of them were acting harshly. It seemed that they had started smelling some whiffs of conspiracy in what was a completely humanitarian effort. This plan had been made after everyone had been informed and all sorts of permissions had been sought and granted. One cannot know a catastrophe by reading a newspaper but rather by observing through humane eyes. We had gone only to do that humane deed.
...... After returning from Khalishpur, an odd thing began to happen. Some of the local workers at the gruel-kitchen had ropes tied around their waists and were paraded through the workers colony by the police, who also tried to scare them by making noises about "crossfire". They were evicted from the place where they were supposed to be cooking. After a lot of thought I could only find one plausible explanation: the government must think that this gruel-kitchen is damaging their image. (Do you remember "image"? How the 4-party government also worried about their image? If one word was said about JMB-Jamaat, they were quick to proclaim that their "image" was being spoiled!) Now I see the same dymanic. If feeding unemployed workers khichuri for one day destroys the government's image, then why doesn't the government take up the responsibility?..."
(Section 3 on Page 3. Translation and emphasis mine.)
And this from Dr. Hameeda Hossain:
"The distribution took place outside three of the mills. The manager in one of the mills had told the Committee that there was no crisis, and workers were doing well! Yet it was from this mill that workers brought their vessels for food. Before the distribution started, personnel claiming to represent intelligence agencies did the rounds of the Committee in Dhaka and Khulna to find out the purpose of the distribution.
Justice Rabbani, too, was telephoned by the BJMC chief. The Committee had collected sufficient funds to keep the distribution going for about 5 days, but at the end of the first day, the local organisers were told to remove their cooking vessels and stop distribution. Four workers were roughly handled, allegedly by the police, and told to stop their voluntary work.
When the police commissioner was asked, he claimed he had given no such orders. So who had, and why was it necessary to stop this support?
(Emphasis mine)
Why indeed? Nothing, except that the traditional bureaucratic (and I count security agencies among the bureaucracy) stance has been to look down upon the very people they ruled over with suspicion, an attitude inherited I suspect from the ex-colonial power. Can a small ethnic minority dominating a much larger ethnic majority look at them with anything other than constant suspicion? South Asia with its high population density has thus inherited a tradition of intense bureaucratic suspicion and hostility towards their very people. An intensity without too any counterparts in the rest of the post-colonial world. (And yes, the link is deliberately to Mr. Khalil's superb op-ed on Kansat, to show that even when I disagree with someone on one particular issue, I do not start discounting the good things they have said!)
1/11 did not change that. And class really has little to do with it: everyone's a suspect. A farmer or a blue-collar worker is as much a suspect as elites such as Drs. Iqbal and Hossain. The only difference is in the way they are treated. And sometimes, as in the case of Tasneem Khalil, even class privilege cannot save you.
Which brings us to....
Milestone 3: The Dhaka University Riots and Curfew. Also called "that week in August". Also known as the straw that broke the camels back. Known aliases include "THAT week". August 20th-August 27th.
This is such a hard topic to write about that I have been stuck at this point for the last two days. I will not recount the events for the regular readers of this blog know it only too intimately. The irregular ones can find out from other sources. Just one request: please look at a source that presents facts, not baseless opinions.
I will not even attempt to present a chronological list of how events unfolded. That is left for another time far from August, and perhaps for another person. Instead let me guide you through a very subjective recollection of matters. (Once again, my own impressions, so please don't come back and tell me that I'm "editorialising" the facts. That is exactly what an opinion piece is for!)
What I remember vividly was well-educated NRBs calling for the blood of Dhaka University students in the name of law and order. If you don't believe me, go and read Unheard Voices' August archives for a sampling. Trust me, it only gets worse in other forums. I refuse to link to any of the comments on UV, except one I found particularly telling.
I understand the need to maintain law and order. I understand the sanctity of public and private property. And I condemn, utterly and unequivocally, the destruction of public and private property that was carried out in the name of "protests" by the students, despite the fact that the avenues for protest are rapidly shrinking nowadays.
However, the key is the maintaining of LAW and order, not simply order. A godfather keeps as much order within his gang as a judge does within his court's jurisdiction. I don't need to tell the reader which one is more lawful. By the same token therefore, the LAW-enforcement agencies have to work within the stipulations of the very law they seek to uphold. (Some other time as to why the "law" component of law and order leads to prosperity - I refuse to use the word "development".)
The evidence suggests they didn't. This BBC interview with an eye-witness is the most damning evidence I know.
The August riots of Dhaka University had an amazingly polarising effect on the Bangladeshi blogosphere, and I'd venture to say, on Bangladeshis everywhere. As an example, I present this one comment left by a cheerleader for the CTG's repressive actions that August, a commenter named Boishakhi who said the following:
"We have two choices either we want things to be cleaned up or maintain the status quo. It's time we take a side."
And here I was thinking that all Bangladeshis were on the same side! It is highly ironic that the same people who draw these arbitrary lines dividing "us" from "them" were/are also the ones worried most about "civil war" and "failed state" status. Clearly George Bush's Manichean view of the world has conquered further and wider than his armies. An embarrassingly childish statement at a critical time. Yet, who else would egg on the government to baton-charge and tear-gas its own (admittedly rowdy) citizens except children who didn't have to face the consequences themselves?
There really is nothing more I want to say about those ten awful days of August. I believe that nothing more needs be said.
Milestone 4: The arrest of cartoonist Arifur Rahman.
No other single event (this was written before the Rangs Bhobon collapse) has shows the moral bankruptcy of this government than the imprisonment of one of our young citizens for the politicking of the decrepit, elite oldies. I have written enough on this topic, I cannot write anymore. I want to thank bloggers - Addafication and Shadakalo come to mind - for not letting this issue die just yet.
We were supposed to create a state where the strong would take care of the weak, the destitute, the young and others who cannot (yet) take care of themselves. Instead, we have come to this: the weak subsidising the strong, the destitute being made more so by the bulldozers of the strong, and the young being sacrificed to please the old and cynical.

I've been working on this sheet music for our church symphony. it's my first time writing a drum part and I'm not quite sure if I'm doing this right. Feedback is appreciated :)
I have been using Musescore for 2 years now and I have been looking for ways to implement drags into snare parts and I haven't been able to figure it out. Does anyone know how to add them in?
I finished composing the first movement of my suite as a 50 follower special. Here is the link:
What options are there for me to write in sticking I know musescore recently had an update about sticking but don't know where to find it and how to use it
If its not asking too much i would like to have a sound effect for a gock shot on snare drum. If there already is one then someone tell me how to get the drumset sound for it.
When I'm writing for any ensemble that contains the MDL instruments i always experience a glitch that happens after i stop playing the score. I will usually click the stop button and when it does a huge bang of all of the instruments in MDL being used come at unison and full volume. This will happen a few times and after so many MDL will start glitching and it will make the velocity go all over the place. It makes it sound almost corrupt. I know it isnt corrupt because after restarting the platform everything is fine. Then the sound happens again and it goes haywire and i have to restart the program once again. I've experienced this before but only now has it become extremely prominent. This is my main issue however the problem with shots also bothers me. The unaccented taps are louder than a rim shot. I can get around it by using a ping shot (which is slightly louder but it is still a bit quieter than an accented note) however i still prefer to use a rimshot. Thanks for listening! Hope you can figure out the problem soon.Reply
this is the best form of my mary had a little lamb parody (it sounds dumb, but it actually sis one of my better pieces)
Check it out!
So, you know how I have been working on the 50 follower special composition right? Well, I am 2/3 of the way through it and even include a short bit of canon in the composition. But after this canonic moment, I can't seem to make further progress. I know that I want to go back to G major by means of a plagal cadence(which would require me to substitute C major for C#°) and that I want to end the piece with a plagal cadence.
I have been having this composers block for about a week now. I usually embrace it and just move on to composing something else, but this is a 50 follower special composition that I have been working on.
I reached the 50 followers milestone. Now just to finish my 50 follower special composition. I can't promise when it will be done but right now I'm halfway through it.
After installing the recent version of musescore 3, when ever I open it it closes before I can do anything. Any solutions?
Articulations have completley stopped working on MDL instruments. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I'm currently in the middle of writing a movement for an indoor drumline program, and I have a few voiceovers that need to go into a few certain measures. Does anybody know how to achieve this?
Hello! I am trying to add muted cymbal crashes to my marching cymbal part but there is no sound in MDL for this. Would I be able to add it myself or is this simply not possible? Sorry, I'm not very savvy with this program.
Edit: I've been trying to edit the .sfz, and it's quite difficult. Is there an easy way to do this with Polyphone or is there an easier program to use?
If you don't know already, I am now almost at 50 followers. Currently I have 39 followers so just 11 more and I will have reached the 50 follower mark. I had maybe like 4 followers 2 years ago. So clearly, I'm doing something right. My most recent score called The Storm just brought me 2 more followers. I suppose they followed me hoping to someday see the entire suite that I plan on The Storm being a part of. That suite I call Weather Music. Maybe I should compose another part of the suite for that 50 followers mark, upload it when I reach 50 followers, and then whenever I have finished the suite, upload it in its entirety.
If you want to listen to what I have so far of The Storm, here it is:
It just so happens that I have been getting rain for 3 days straight here in Ohio.
Update 1: 6/18/2019
Oh my goodness, 4 followers in a single day. That is a record for me, I am now at 43 followers. I don't know if the follower milestone or finishing the composition will come first. If the follower count does come first, that's fine. I'm not pushing myself to finish the 50 follower composition.
Update 2: 6/19/2019
Wow, 5 followers in 1 day. I don't think I will finish my 50 follower composition before I reach 50 followers. Often my composition process is slow, so don't be surprised if a week has passed and I still haven't finished the composition yet. I will get it done when I get it done. I emphasize quality over quantity with my compositions.
Update 3: 6/24/2019
I'm just 1 away from reaching the 50 followers mark. As for the composition, I'm about halfway through composing it.
