Lt. Gen. Mikhail T. Kalashnikov with a model of the AK-47 in 1997.
Published: December 23, 2013
- Lt. Gen. Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, the arms designer credited by the Soviet Union with creating the AK-47, the first in a series of rifles and machine guns that would indelibly associate his name with modern war and become the most abundant firearms ever made, died on Monday in Izhevsk, the capital of the Russian republic of Udmurtia, where he lived. He was 94.
Viktor Chulkov, a spokesman for the republic's president, confirmed the death, the Itar-Tass news agency reported.
Born a peasant on the southern Siberian steppe, General Kalashnikov had little formal education and claimed to be a self-taught tinkerer who combined innate mechanical skills with the study of weapons to conceive of a rifle that achieved battlefield ubiquity.
His role in the rifle's creation, and the attention showered on him by the Kremlin's propaganda machine, carried him from conscription in the Red Army to senior positions in the Soviet arms-manufacturing bureaucracy and ultimately to six terms on the Supreme Soviet, the Soviet Union's legislative body.
Tens of millions of Kalashnikov rifles have been manufactured. Their short barrels, steep front-sight posts and curved magazines made them a marker of conflict that has endured for decades. The weapons also became both Soviet and revolutionary symbols and widespread instruments of terrorism, child-soldiering and crime.
The general, who sometimes lamented the weapons' unchecked distribution but took pride in having invented them and in their reputation for reliability, weathered the collapse of the Soviet Union to assume a public role as a folk hero and unequivocal Russian patriot.
A Soviet nostalgist, he also served as the unofficial arms ambassador of the revived Russian state. He used public appearances to try to cast the AK-47's checkered legacy in a positive way and to complain that knockoffs were being manufactured illegally by former Soviet allies and cutting into Russian sales.
The weapon, he said, was designed to protect his motherland, not to be used by terrorists or thugs. "This is a weapon of defense," he said. "It is not a weapon for offense."
General Kalashnikov's public life resulted from a secret competition to develop the Soviet infantry rifle for the Cold War. The result was the AK-47 — an abbreviation for "the automatic by Kalashnikov" followed by the year the competition ended.
General Kalashnikov, a senior sergeant at the time who had been injured in battle against German tanks, was credited with leading the design bureau that produced the AK-47 prototype. The Soviet Union began issuing a mass-produced version in 1949.
The true AK-47 was short-lived. It was followed in the 1950s by a modernized version, the A.K.M., which retained its predecessor's underlying design while reducing its weight and manufacturing time.
Shorter than traditional infantry rifles and firing a cartridge midway between the power of a pistol and the standard rifle cartridges of the day, the Kalashnikov line was initially dismissed by American ordnance experts as a weapon of small consequence. It was not particularly accurate or well made, they said, and it lacked range and stopping power.
It cemented its place in martial history in the 1960s in Vietnam. There, a new American rifle, the M-16, experienced problems with corrosion and jamming in the jungles, while Kalashnikovs, carried by Vietcong guerrillas and North Vietnamese soldiers, worked almost flawlessly.
By this time, in an effort to standardize infantry weapons among potential allies, the Soviet Union had exported the rifle's specifications and its manufacturing technology to China, Egypt, North Korea and Warsaw Pact nations. Communist engineers would eventually share the manufacturing technology with other countries, including Iraq.
The design was incorporated into arms manufactured in Finland, Israel, South Africa and other nations. The result was a long line of derivatives and copies.
Because Kalashnikov rifles were principally made by secretive governments and often changed hands in nontransparent transfers, it is not known how many have been manufactured. Common estimates put production at 70 million to 100 million; either number would dwarf the production of any other gun.
The rifles eventually filled armories throughout Eastern Europe and Asia and spread from war to war, passing to Soviet allies and proxies, and to terrorists and criminals, aided by intelligence agencies and gray- and black-market sales. The United States became an active purchaser, arming anti-Soviet fighters in Afghanistan in the 1980s and indigenous Afghan and Iraqi forces in recent years.
General Kalashnikov's bureau also used the A.K.M. design to develop machine guns for infantry squads, helicopter crews and vehicles. By the 1970s, the rifle's design had become the basis for a new Soviet rifle, known as the AK-74, that fired a smaller and faster cartridge similar to that of the M-16. That rifle remains the standard weapon of the Russian Army.
The general often claimed that he never realized any profit from his work. But in his last years he urged interviewers not to portray him as poor, noting that he had a sizable apartment, a good car and a comfortable dacha on a lake near the factory where he had worked for decades.
Work and loyalty to country, he often suggested, were their own rewards. "I am told sometimes, 'If you had lived in the West you would have been a multimillionaire long ago,' " he said. "There are other values."
How essential the general was to creation of the Kalashnikov line has been subject to dispute. A post-Soviet account in the newspaper Pravda challenged his central role, asserting that two supervisors modified his weapon during field trials.
An amiable personality with a biography ideal for proletarian fable, he was given credit for their work, the newspaper claimed. The general disputed suggestions that the design was guided by others, but also said the rifle was the result of the collective that labored beside him.
The Kremlin embraced his version, although a careful reading of the official histories and General Kalashnikov's many statements and memoirs shows that his accounts of his life, combat service and work repeatedly changed, raising questions about the veracity of the conventional accounts.
Mikhail Timofeyovich Kalashnikov was born in Kurya on Nov. 10, 1919. He was married twice, the second time to Ekaterina Kalashnikova, a technician in his design bureau. He is survived by a son from his first marriage, Viktor Kalashnikov, who is also an arms designer; a daughter from his second marriage, Elena Krasnovskaya; a stepdaughter, Nelya; and several grandchildren.
Later in life, he disapproved of anyone who he thought had hastened the Soviet Union's downfall, or who had been unable to control the political and economic turbulence that followed. In memoirs and interviews, he was harshly critical of Mikhail S. Gorbachev and Boris N. Yeltsin.
To the end he was loyal to what he called Socialist ideals and the leaders who gave them shape, and seemed untroubled by the hardships endured by his family during the early years of Soviet rule. His family's land and home had been seized during collectivization, and when he was a child the family was deported into the Siberian wilderness. His father died during their first Siberian winter, and one of his brothers labored for seven years as a prisoner digging the White Sea canal.
Still, General Kalashnikov spoke of his great respect for Lenin and Stalin alike. "I never knew him personally," he said of Stalin, "and I regret this."
Yusef Lateef in April. He sought inspriation well beyond the Western Hemisphere and anticipated cross-cultural fusions.

- Yusef Lateef, a jazz saxophonist and flutist who spent his career crossing musical boundaries, died on Monday at his home in Shutesbury, Mass., near Amherst. He was 93.
His death was announced on his website.
Mr. Lateef started out as a tenor saxophonist with a big tone and a bluesy style, not significantly more or less talented than numerous other saxophonists in the crowded jazz scene of the 1940s. He served a conventional jazz apprenticeship, working in the bands of Lucky Millinder, Dizzy Gillespie and others. But by the time he made his first records as a leader, in 1957, he had begun establishing a reputation as a decidedly unconventional musician.
He began expanding his instrumental palette by doubling on flute, by no means a common jazz instrument in those years. He later added oboe, bassoon and non-Western wind instruments like the shehnai and arghul. "My attempts to experiment with new instruments grew out of the monotony of hearing the same old sounds played by the same old horns," he once told DownBeat magazine. "When I looked into those other cultures, I found that good instruments existed there."
Those experiments led to an embrace of new influences. At a time when jazz musicians in the United States rarely sought inspiration any farther geographically than Latin America, Mr. Lateef looked well beyond the Western Hemisphere. Anticipating the cross-cultural fusions of later decades, he flavored his music with scales, drones and percussion effects borrowed from Asia and the Middle East. He played world music before world music had a name.
In later years he incorporated elements of contemporary concert music and composed symphonic and chamber works. African influences became more noticeable in his music when he spent four years studying and teaching in Nigeria in the early 1980s.
Mr. Lateef professed to find the word "jazz" limiting and degrading; he preferred "autophysiopsychic music," a term he invented. He further distanced himself from the jazz mainstream in 1980 when he declared that he would no longer perform any place where alcohol was served. "Too much blood, sweat and tears have been spilled creating this music to play it where people are smoking, drinking and talking," he explained to The Boston Globe in 1999.
Still, with its emphasis on melodic improvisation and rhythmic immediacy, his music was always recognizably jazz at its core. And as far afield as his music might roam, his repertoire usually included at least a few Tin Pan Alley standards and, especially, plenty of blues.
He was born on Oct. 9, 1920, in Chattanooga, Tenn. Many sources give his birth name as William Evans, the name under which he performed and recorded before converting to Islam in the late 1940s (he belonged to the reformist Ahmadiyya Muslim Community) and changing his name to Yusef Abdul Lateef. But according to Mr. Lateef's website, he was born William Emanuel Huddleston.
When he was 5 his family moved to Detroit, where he went on to study saxophone at Miller High School. After spending most of the 1940s on the road as a sideman with various big bands, he returned to Detroit in 1950 to care for his ailing wife and ended up staying for a decade.
While in Detroit he became a popular and respected fixture on the local nightclub scene and a mentor to younger musicians. He also resumed his studies, taking courses in flute and composition at Wayne State University and later studying oboe as well.
In the later part of the decade he began traveling regularly from Detroit to the East Coast with his working band to record for the Savoy and Prestige labels. By 1960 he had settled in New York, where he worked with Charles Mingus, Cannonball Adderley and the Nigerian percussionist Babatunde Olatunji before forming his own quartet in 1964.
He was soon a bona fide jazz star, with successful albums on the Impulse and Atlantic labels and a busy touring schedule. But he also remained a student, and he eventually became a teacher as well.
He received a bachelor's and a master's degree from the Manhattan School of Music, and taught both there and at Borough of Manhattan Community College in the 1970s. He earned a doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 1975 (his dissertation: "An Overview of Western and Islamic Education") and later taught there and elsewhere in New England.
The more he studied, the more ambitious Mr. Lateef grew as a composer. He recorded his seven-movement "Symphonic Blues Suite" in 1970 and his "African-American Epic Suite," a four-part work for quintet and orchestra, two decades later. His album "Yusef Lateef's Little Symphony," on which he played all the instruments via overdubbing, won a Grammy Award in 1988, though not in any of the jazz or classical categories; it was named best New Age performance. Mr. Lateef said at the time that, while he was grateful for the award, he didn't know what New Age music was.
In 2010 he was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Mr. Lateef is survived by his wife, Ayesha; a son, Yusef; a granddaughter; and several great-grandchildren. His first wife, Tahira, died before him, as did a son and a daughter.
His creative output was not limited to music. He painted, wrote poetry and published several books of fiction. He also ran his own record company, YAL, which he established in 1992.
He remained musically active until a few months before his death. In April he appeared at Roulette in Brooklyn in a program titled "Yusef Lateef: Celebrating 75 Years of Music," performing with the percussionist Adam Rudolph and presenting the premieres of two works, one for string quartet and the other for piano.

Dr. Robert Neuwirth, a prominent gynecologist who developed minimally invasive techniques that helped many women avoid hysterectomies, died on Dec. 17 in Newark. He was 80.
The cause was complications from a stroke, his son Michael said.
Dr. Neuwirth, who for much of his career was chairman of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan as well as a professor at Columbia's College of Physicians and Surgeons, was both a physician and a tinkerer. He spent decades inventing, refining and revising his own techniques with the goal of finding simpler, more efficient ways to reduce painful and excessive menstrual bleeding.
One of the earliest methods he developed was to remove fibroids, the benign tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus and can cause excessive bleeding.
In the past, surgeons who wanted to remove fibroids did so by removing the entire uterus. That procedure, called a hysterectomy, required a large abdominal incision and could carry increased risks of infection and complications. Women could not become pregnant after having a hysterectomy.
In the late 1960s, Dr. Neuwirth developed an alternative method that used a camera and tiny instruments, inserted through the vagina, to remove fibroids individually, leaving the uterus in place. The recovery period after the procedure, called an operative hysteroscopy, was much quicker, and many women were able to become pregnant afterward. By the 1980s, operative hysteroscopies were becoming common, and hundreds of thousands are now performed in the United States each year, many by doctors first taught by Dr. Neuwirth.
Dr. Neuwirth's innovations often involved what is known as endometrial ablation, in which the tissue lining the uterus is deliberately reduced or destroyed to reduce heavy bleeding, called menorrhagia. Several years after popularizing hysteroscopy, he received a patent for a technique that involves inserting a balloon-like device into the uterus and filling it with hot water to essentially burn away part of the uterine wall. That procedure, which can be done in a doctor's office, has also become commonplace.
In recent years, he was working on still another method, a chemical treatment that involves applying silver nitrate to parts of the uterine wall. One of his consistent goals was to create treatments that were relatively easy and inexpensive, in part so they could be used in countries with less sophisticated medical care.
"He didn't want to make these complex," said Dr. Jacques Moritz, a longtime colleague who is director of the gynecology division at St. Luke's-Roosevelt. "He always wanted to keep it as simple as possible so that more people could do it."
Robert Samuel Neuwirth was born on July 11, 1933, in Floral Park, N.Y., on Long Island.
He was the only child of Phyllis and Abraham, a physician. He received a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Yale in 1955 and a medical degree from Yale in 1958; he completed his residency at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in 1962.
Twelve years later, he was named head of the obstetrics and gynecology department at St. Luke's and he stayed in that role until 1991, well after it had become St. Luke's-Roosevelt. From 1977 to 2000 he was a professor at Columbia. He served as an examiner for the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology from 1982 to 1988.
"He was a brilliant physician-scientist, pushing forward new knowledge, but he was also a brilliant physician educator," said Dr. Frank A. Chervenak, a former student who is chairman of obstetrics and gynecology at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and at Weill Cornell Medical College.
In addition to his son Michael, survivors include four other children, Susan Neuwirth-Guerra, Jessica, Laura, and Alexander; and six grandchildren. He was married twice; both marriages ended in divorce. He lived in Tampa, Fla., and had a home in Englewood, N.J.
Dr. Neuwirth often did follow-up studies to test the long-term consequences and safety of his techniques. He studied menstrual function in women who had hysteroscopic surgery, and he tested whether ablation techniques could mask cancer. He found that they did not.
Dr. Alan DeCherney, the program director for reproductive biology and medicine at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, one of the National Institutes of Health, was among several people who emphasized that Dr. Neuwirth was a modest man who was not inclined to professional networking or self-promotion.
"He didn't sell his ideas, he just did his stuff," Dr. DeCherney said. "People saw it was good and they picked it up."

- Andy Granatelli, a colorful entrepreneur who turned STP oil treatment into a national institution and built racecars that won the Indianapolis 500 in 1969 and in 1973, died on Sunday in Santa Barbara, Calif. He was 90.

Andy Granatelli, left, with the driver Parnelli Jones in 1967.
Mr. Granatelli appeared in commercials for STP oil treatment, and the company's decals were everywhere.
The cause was congestive heart failure, his son Vince told The Associated Press.
In 1961, the Studebaker Packard Corporation acquired Chemical Compounds, a company with seven employees and only one product: STP (for scientifically treated petroleum). Mr. Granatelli was named the president and changed the company name to STP.
Within a decade, the company had 2,000 employees and was selling more than 100 million cans a year, and its annual sales of $2 million had grown to $100 million. STP decals, with the slogan "The Racer's Edge," were everywhere, both at racetracks and on the bumpers of family station wagons. Mr. Granatelli appeared in commercials for the product.
But in 1971, an article in Consumer Reports said STP oil treatment was actually "thick goo," a worthless oil thickener. Mr. Granatelli denied that, but stock trading halted, and in two days, the stock, which had been at $58, fell to $38.
In 1974, STP was sold to Esmark Corporation for $135 million.
Mr. Granatelli was also involved in auto racing, and his innovations shook up the sport's establishment. From 1961 to 1965, he entered cars in the Indianapolis 500, at that time America's most celebrated race, with supercharged V-8 engines. Their horsepower reached 837, up from the conventional 450.
In 1967, he built and sponsored a radical new car with a turbine engine and 80 percent fewer parts than a conventional, piston-driven engine. Al Dean, a rival owner, said, "If they're going to race airplanes, then let's all race airplanes."
Mr. Granatelli entered a turbine car in the Indianapolis 500 that year with Parnelli Jones driving. It led for 171 of the 200 laps and was leading by almost one lap with three laps left when a $6 transmission ball bearing broke. The car slowed to a stop.
The next year, the United States Auto Club, which made the race rules, ordered turbine power reduced by a third. Still, a Granatelli car with Joe Leonard driving was leading with eight laps to go when a tiny gear broke in the fuel-pump shaft. The crowd, which seemed to prefer the traditional cars, cheered. Then came more restrictions, and Mr. Granatelli gave up on the turbine car.
In his 1969 autobiography, "They Call Me Mr. 500," he said: "We were rather badly handled in the turbine affair. Perhaps we tried to hurry tomorrow to a group of tradition-bound people who were frightened silly at the prospect of a new dawn."
In 1969, Mario Andretti crashed Mr. Granatelli's new four-wheel-drive Lotus in an Indianapolis 500 practice. Andretti drove a year-old backup car with a conventional engine in the race and won. In 1973, Mr. Granatelli won the race again with a car driven by Gordon Johncock.
Mr. Granatelli last entered a car at Indianapolis in 1974. He also sponsored Richard Petty in Nascar races, and from 1972 to 1981, Petty won four series championships and four Daytona 500s.
Anthony Granatelli was born March 18, 1923, in Dallas and grew up in the Chicago slums. He dropped out of school at 14 and worked in a grocery for $6 a week.
He and his two brothers — Vince and Joe — became auto mechanics who turned normal car engines into racing engines. When he was 20, he and his brothers bought a gas station in Chicago and became an instant success because four or five mechanics would work on a car at once. Soon, he started marketing auto parts.
After World War II, he promoted auto stunt shows featuring drivers who did rollover and end-over-end crashes and survived, a sort of Harlem Globetrotters performance with spark plugs.
In 1946, the three brothers drove an 11-year-old racecar from Chicago to Indianapolis. They slept in a garage because they could not afford hotel rooms. With Danny Kladis as their driver, they entered a car in the 500, which qualified in the back of the field, ran out of fuel and finished 21st.
By 1947, Mr. Granatelli was promoting stock-car and hot-rod races in the Midwest. In 1948, he tried to become an Indianapolis driver, using a helmet borrowed from his friend Bill France Sr., the founder of Nascar. He crashed in his qualifying run.
Mr. Granatelli's first major business operation was Paxton Products, which made superchargers and was losing money. He bought the company in 1958, and in seven months, it was making a profit. In 1961, he sold the company to Studebaker and became a Studebaker vice president, chief engineer and driver.
His production cars set more than 400 world land-speed and endurance records. At 62, in a passenger car legal for street driving, he drove 241.731 miles per hour over the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
Studebaker controlled 55 percent of STP's stock, and in 1973, it terminated his STP contract because of differences with the board of directors. In 1976, Mr. Granatelli bought Tuneup Masters, an auto-parts distributor, for $300,000. In 1986, he sold it for $60 million.
He was elected to at least 24 automotive, racing and business halls of fame, including the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 2001. Besides his son Vince, survivors include his wife, Dolly, and another son, Anthony.
In 1969, Mr. Granatelli said of himself: "People say he's flamboyant, he's this, he's that. That's just me. I can't help who I am. I was born supercharged."

- Dr. Kenneth C. Edelin, a Boston physician whose 1975 manslaughter conviction for performing a legal abortion was overturned on appeal in a landmark test of medical, legal, religious and political questions surrounding abortion in America, died on Monday in Sarasota, Fla. He was 74.
The cause was cancer, his family said.
Two years after the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision legalized abortion in 1973, Dr. Edelin, a 35-year-old resident in obstetrics and gynecology at Boston City Hospital, became the focus of a roiling national debate over crucial issues that had been left unresolved by the justices: When does life begin? Does an aborted fetus have rights? And what are a doctor's often contradictory duties to the fetus and its mother?
Dr. Edelin (pronounced EE-da-lin) was charged with causing the death of the fetus of an unwed 17-year-old during an elective abortion in her sixth month of pregnancy. In a six-week trial in Boston that explored uncharted legal ground and made headlines across the country, Dr. Edelin, who was black, was vilified as a baby-killer and defended as a victim of racial and religious prejudice being tried for an action that had never been defined as a crime: killing a fetus that may or may not have been a "person," and whose rights had never been specified by law.
The abortion, which took place in 1973, began as a routine procedure: the injection of a saline solution that usually causes uterine contractions and the expulsion of the fetus. But several tries were unsuccessful, and Dr. Edelin completed the abortion by a surgical procedure known as a hysterotomy — making a small incision in the uterus, like a cesarean section, and detaching the fetus from the placental wall by hand.
Prosecutors did not contest the legality of the abortion — Roe v. Wade had struck down anti-abortion laws in most states, including Massachusetts — but argued that Dr. Edelin, after ending the pregnancy, had deprived "a baby boy" of life-sustaining oxygen while it was still in the womb "being born." A photo of the dead fetus preserved in formaldehyde was shown to the jurors, and some said they were "shaken" by it.
The defense called the photo inflammatory and objected repeatedly to the prosecution's use of "fetus" and "baby" as interchangeable terms in a case it said was being politicized. Medical experts testified for the defense that the fetus, estimated to be 24 weeks old, was not viable enough to have survived outside the womb. Dr. Edelin's lawyers contended that no "person" had even existed, let alone died.
But the all-white 12-member jury, which included nine men and 10 Roman Catholics, convicted Dr. Edelin of manslaughter. Some jurors said later that the photo of the dead fetus, whose face, they said, looked distorted as if in pain, had been decisive in their decision to vote guilty. An alternate juror also said after the verdict that jurors had made racial slurs against Dr. Edelin "more than once" before closing arguments.
The presiding judge, who had instructed the jury that it could convict only if it believed that the fetus was a viable person and that the doctor had acted recklessly, sentenced Dr. Edelin to one year of probation, although he could have imposed a maximum of 20 years in prison. Dr. Edelin kept his medical license and continued to practice at Boston City Hospital.
The verdict was hailed as a victory by anti-abortion groups and the Catholic hierarchy, which had long contended that life was sacred and began at conception. But it shocked and dismayed advocates of women's rights, who called the case a precedent that could make doctors wary of performing abortions in the second trimester.
Dr. Edelin called the prosecution a "witch hunt" in a city where a huge Catholic population believed that fetuses were human beings with the rights of citizens, and that abortions were sacrilegious. The chief prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney Newman A. Flanagan, was himself a Catholic who hoped to run for Suffolk County district attorney, and was widely admired for pursuing a case that might tighten restrictions and intimidate doctors who performed abortions.
Dr. Edelin appealed the verdict, and in 1976 the state's highest judicial body, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, unanimously overturned the conviction and formally acquitted him.The appellate court held that a doctor could commit manslaughter only by ending the life of a fetus that was definitely alive outside the woman's body. It rejected the prosecution theory that the fetus might have been alive in the uterus after being separated from the uterine wall, and was thus a "person" for purposes of the manslaughter law.
The ruling also clarified the definition of "life," saying that it meant having heartbeats and respiration — more than "several transient cardiac transactions" and more than "fleeting respiratory efforts or gasps." Besides giving doctors protection by defining when a fetus is a live person, the ruling also protected them from criminal liability for failing to take "heroic measures" to save a fetus once it was outside a woman's body.
Propelled to fame by the case, Dr. Edelin became a hero of the women's movement, was named to prestigious posts in national health and human rights organizations, and went on to a successful medical and teaching career. He became known for his concern for indigent patients, and spoke often of the need for legal and safe abortions as a necessary alternative to the dangerous back-alley practices of the past.
"Nobody likes to do abortions," Dr. Edelin told The New York Times in 1975, "but the least we can do is make it safe and humane."
Kenneth Carlton Edelin was born in Washington, D.C., on March 31, 1939, one of four children of Benedict Edelin, a postal worker, and the former Ruby Goodwin. Kenneth attended racially segregated Washington elementary schools and graduated from the Stockbridge School in western Massachusetts in 1957.
After receiving a bachelor's degree from Columbia College in 1961, he taught math and science for two years at the Stockbridge School and then attended Meharry Medical College in Nashville, where he earned his medical degree in 1967.
In 1967, he married Ramona Hoage. They had two children, Kenneth Jr. and Kimberley, and later divorced. In 1978, he married Barbara Evans. They had two children, Joseph and Corrine. Besides his wife and four children, Dr. Edelin is survived by eight grandchildren; a brother, Milton; and a sister, Norma Edelin Johnson. Another brother, Robert, died in 1982.
Dr. Edelin was the uncle of Jeh C. Johnson, the current United States secretary of homeland security.
Dr. Edelin was in the Air Force from 1968 to 1971, rising to captain and serving a hospital internship at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. After his discharge, he held a medical residency at Boston City Hospital from 1971 to 1974. He became the hospital's first black chief resident in obstetrics and gynecology in 1973, and that October — nine months after Roe v. Wade — performed the abortion that led to his arrest.
After his acquittal, Dr. Edelin became a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Boston University and was chairman of the department for a decade until 1989. For years he was also director of ob-gyn at Boston City Hospital and managing director of the Roxbury Comprehensive Community Health Center, the largest provider of primary health services for Boston's African-American community.
He was chairman of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America from 1989 to 1992, and a director of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund and of the Guttmacher Institute, which promotes reproductive health. His case was the subject of a 1978 book, "The Baby in the Bottle," by William A. Nolen, and a play, "As to the Meaning of Words," by Mark Eichman, that was staged in New York in 1981.
Dr. Edelin, who lived in Sarasota and in Oak Bluffs, Mass., discontinued his medical practice some years ago and retired from teaching in 2006. He was the author of many articles on the prevention of teenage pregnancy and the perils of substance abuse during pregnancy. In 2007 he published a memoir, "Broken Justice: A True Story of Race, Sex and Revenge in a Boston Courtroom."

Latest tie-up news
Kolkata-based elderly care startup Support Elders has a well-developed care providing network which ensures that the old never have to feel unwanted or alone. Recently, the startup made a significant breakthrough by tying up with HIDCO(West Bengal Housing Infra Development Corporation). The tie-up is part of the latter's smart city initiative. Support Elders seeks to tap the initiative to provide housing support to the aged residents of the New Town area, a rapidly rising township located in Kolkata's fringes.
About Support Elders
Apratim Chattopdhyay, Co-Founder, MD and CEO of Support Elders, said that the concept of such a startup was created when it became evident that the elderly were lacking sufficient support from their children and younger relatives, due to the latter's professional commitments. With the risk of a medical emergency confronting these people being ever-present, this concept is certain to be extremely beneficial to the elderly. The startup itself was founded by Apratim, Deepanwita and Debina Chattopadhyay. It claims to be a "social entrepreneurship initiative" which focuses on providing holistic and integrated long-term care for the elderly.
One of their most significant innovations is the Medical Emergency Alert Services(MEAS) : a smart, lightweight wristband which allows the elderly to notify Support Elders's National Alarm Centre(NAC), which consists of emergency care personnel. Another is the excellent Care Management Services(CMS), which allows for the remote medical monitoring of those with ailments such as Alzheimer's. Support Elders's Member Care Associates(MCA) team ensures that those with such conditions are taken care of, and MCAs help the elderly with their chores.
A number of startups have forayed into the caregiving segment. However, according to Support Elders, their diverse range of holistic services sets them apart from the rest. Apratim and Co. not only ensure that those suffering from ailments are taken care of, but also that the overall lives of the elderly become a bit brighter and less lonely. This startup with a humane face is sure to bring a smile to the faces of many of the aged in the years to come.
Visit the Support Elders website for more info about their services, or to avail of them.

A gentleman spy organisation offers an unlikely young man the chance to be in the secret service, but first he has to go through a series of tests with other, much more posh, competitors. At the same time, an American technology genius is becoming a major world threat.
The Good:
- Great selection of established actors: Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Michael Caine, Samuel L. Jackson, Mark Hamil and Jack Davenport.
- Taron Egerton, who plays Eggsy, delivers a very believable character who is quite endearing.
- There is a Pug involved.
- Great to see such Britishness involved, including some of the humour.
- Nice rags to riches story, with a great commentary on snobbery, self-image and climate change.
- The mix of action and comedy will appeal to a wide range of people.
- Great nods to Arthurian legend and some Bond satire involved.
- Awesome female villain. I loved the fact that she was a double amputee and was also really kick-ass. It could have bad connotations though if other films run with the same concept after the Oscar Pistorius trial.
- Follows that great trend of comics into films.
- Great clothing selection. Honestly, the suits, the umbrellas, the shoes, even the glasses were like an extra character.
The Bad:
- Slightly contemporary with mentions of Iggy Azelea so may not age well.
- Can verge on ridiculous comedy in places.
- Chavviness at the beginning may grate on some people.
- Quite gory!
- I am not sure about our villain. He only makes sense to a point with his motives and doesn't strike you as really being all in with his plan.
A great film. Fun to watch, very accessible for many age groups and I would definitely buy it. Very entertaining and quite thoughtful too.

The group consists of people from various Artistic disciplines including, but not limited to, music performance and production, painters, writers, graphic artists and designers, film makers, dancers etc. We value social justice and how that relates to Art. We are into being an encouraging community that values others and actively seeks ways to encourage people to go further.

By meeting together and sharing our stories we hope to encourage one another through friendship.
The group is very open and informal. We start at 7pm with coffee and hangout time for half an hour, then we gather together and an invited guest speaker shares their inspiring story with us usually for about ¾ hour. We love to interact with the speaker where possible. We end with more social time for networking and social interaction together. The meeting officially ends at 8.30pm
We meet at the Streaming Cafe (Bertram and Leon Ave, Kelowna, BC) usually on the second Monday of every month | http://streamingcafe.net

This final book does a nice job closing the loop on character's storyline, which is what you want in a conclusion. For starters, you get to see more of Gale in this book. With the previous ones, it was all about Katniss and Peeta, even though Gale was a choice she had to make. In this book, you saw more of him as well as Katniss with him. Seeing him allowed readers to understanding the ending and why Katniss made the choice she made. It was also the choice I wanted her to make.
Collins also reworked Peeta. Peeta was tortured by the capital causing him to turn on Katniss. He was down right cruel sometimes and totally out of character for him. She really tried to make the reader hate him and in some cases I'm sure it worked. I never doubted him though.
The most surprising part was the ending, a true Shakespeare paradox. The one thing that causes Katniss to board this rollercoster ride of the Hunger Games is the one thing she couldn't stop from happening in the end. The fate or destiny of it all.

As human beings we are always already committed. The question is not whether we are committed, but what we are committed to. In the ordinary, average, everyday, "mass," self that the German philosopher Martin Heidegger characterized as "inauthentic," we find embedded certain commitments that are easily recognizable when they are distinguished. I take the following from ruminations by Fernando Flores whom I first heard speak of this some 20 years ago.
Commitments of the inauthentic self
1) To look good
2) To no action
3) To assessment and assessment about assessment(s)
4) To offending and being offended as a permanent possibility
5) To already knowing the answer and to questioning for answers and not open to questioning as inquiry
6) To shopping for novelty
The issue is not whether these commitments are right or wrong or good or bad. Rather the more useful concern is what kind of life, of experience of living they give rise to and continue for ourself and others.

WE BELIEVE that the Bible is God's inspired Word. The original manuscripts contain no errors. The Bible available to us today reflects God's divine message to mankind. It has been supernaturally preserved, and is how we learn who God is and how we can know God's divine intention from ages past, as well as His plan and purpose yet to be revealed. The Bible is our authority and therefore teaches us, reproves us, corrects us, and trains us in righteousness so that we may be complete and equipped for every good work.
WE BELIEVE that God exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. While the Trinity is a mystery, we believe that these three are distinct, yet are one God. (A 4th Century Creed may help with the understanding of the Trinitarian belief can be viewed by clicking HERE.)
WE BELIEVE in God as absolute and sole Creator of the Universe, and that creation was by Divine Action, not through evolutionary process.
SALVATION for MANKIND
WE BELIEVE that God, the Son, came to earth in the flesh; we understand Him as Jesus Christ. He was born of a virgin and lived a sinless life, therefore, fulfilling the Father's righteous requirements under the Law of Moses. The four Gospels reveal the teachings of Jesus as well as His signs and wonders. His perfect life and His supernatural works prove that everything said about Jesus and everything Jesus said about Himself is true.
WE BELIEVE that God, by sovereign choice and out of love for men, sent Jesus into the world to save sinners. Jesus took the sins of mankind upon himself and was considered by the Father as the single acceptable sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins. By dying on the cross, Jesus' shed blood divinely covers the sins of all who believe. Because of Christ's sacrifice, mankind can be removed from the curse of the law and exist in a right relationship with God, the Father.
WE BELIEVE that while Jesus died He did not stay dead, but that on the third day following His crucifixion, Jesus arose from the grave. We understand Christ's resurrection to be the Father's acceptance of the Lord's sacrifice and thus His approval of all who are born again. The conditions for salvation are repentance from sin, and belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
WE BELIEVE that Jesus ascended into heaven where He exists in a place of power and authority as head of His church here on earth. He prays and actively works on behalf of believers everywhere until the day He returns to physically set up His Kingdom and rule over all the nations on earth.

Your source for SAP BI and BusinessObjects tutorials, best practices, and training content
Reading this article you will learn:
Modern business solutions often run in a complex enterprise landscape that requires extensive use of data replication and transformation functionality. Tools such as the SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server, SAP Data Services, SAP Replication Server (formerly called Sybase Replication Server or SRS), and SAP Event Stream Processor (SAP ESP) offer a wide variety of technology, functionality, data sources, and formats to build enterprise-ready data replication and transformation solutions.
Today, most enterprise IT environments support complex solutions that are installed in a distributed environment that requires solution and application integration. The systems may run in local client-based data centers, managed cloud service platforms, or public cloud environments. Additionally, the enterprise data is mainly generated and maintained in internal data sources, such as transactional systems, data logs, and emails, and its integration in the distributed environment becomes one of the key aspects of solution complexity.
I present the possible data replication and transformation options between the old (already running) and new SAP and non-SAP business applications. Included are SAP-provided tools and solutions that support the real-time and batch-oriented replication and transformation of business data.

I'm sitting here going through Geeky Tattoos submissions while my partner watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the other room. Or at least I think that's what all that screaming, crashing, and 90s fashion is all about. (Yes, the fashion literally screams late 90s) When I came across Terry's tattoo I couldn't resist posting it, even though he provided zero back-story, no hint on who did it, or why he got it. Oh well, for the Joss Whedon fans out there, you'll understand not getting an explanation cause that's what happens every time they cancel one of his series away from our desirous hearts!
Grrr Arrgh!

The supernatural drifts of the compositions brought together in this recording, served by the power and playing technique of Séverine Ballon, reveal unexpected facets of expressiveness in the contemporary cello. Fully engaged in the renewal of its repertoire, Séverine Ballon especially favours conversing and working with the composers, in the intimacy of the 'sound factory'. Having initiated numerous creations to which this recital admirably bears witness, here she offers us a tailor-made programme in the heart of the compositional procès. Once again, what could have been likened to risk-taking allows Séverine Ballon to affirm, forcefully and with conviction, her artistic identity, her commitment and her very particular place in the world of the contemporary cello.

Monthly Archives: October 2013
In addition to the $88 million contract awarded to CGI Federal for the health-insurance exchange website, the company has received a total of $422 million in contracts related to Obamacare since the legislation was signed into law, according to Bloomberg News.
Fox News reported a number of occasions in which the company had failed to meet deadlines or experienced botched launches similar to that seen with the launch of healthcare.gov.
"In projects stretching from Canada to Hawaii, parent company CGI Group and its subsidiaries ran into complaints about its performance," Fox reported.
"The morning I heard CGI was behind [Healthcare.gov], I said, my God, no wonder that thing doesn't work," said James Bagnola, a Texas-based corporate consultant who was hired by the Hawaii Department of Taxation (DOTAX) in 2008, to Fox News.

Ted Cruz criticizes DOJ for arguing international treaty can trump the Constitution
Justice Department attorneys are advancing an argument at the Supreme Court that could allow the government to invoke international treaties as a legal basis for policies such as gun control that conflict with the U.S. Constitution, according to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
Their argument is that a law implementing an international treaty signed by the U.S. allows the federal government to prosecute a criminal case that would normally be handled by state or local authorities.
That is a dangerous argument, according to Cruz.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) has informed Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) of his intention to place a hold on Federal Reserve chair nominee, Dr. Janet Yellen, until the chamber votes on S. 209, the Federal Reserve Transparency Act.
"I am writing to convey my objection to floor consideration of the nomination of Dr. Janet Yellen to Chair the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve without also considering legislation to bring much-needed transparency to the Fed," wrote Paul in a letter to Reid, delivering on a threat he made last week.

Republican Ryan Frazier and his "Obama-esque charisma"
The news continues to be good for Republican Ryan Frazier, who is trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter.
The Cook Political Report today changed the race from "likely Democrat" to "leans Democrat," signaling Frazier is gaining ground on the popular two-term Democrat from Golden.
"Aurora Councilman Ryan Frazier won the August primary convincingly and is a strong challenger whose background as a veteran, charter school backer, and an African-American Republican put him on plenty of "rising stars" lists long before he jumped out of the Senate race and into the House race. Perlmutter has strong union backing and still has the edge, but this is a competitive race."
Two days earlier, columnist Dick Morris speculated in The Hill that Colorado Republicans would unseat three Democratic congress members: Perlmutter, John Salazar and Betsy Markey.
"Ed Perlmutter, a solidly entrenched Democrat in a supposedly nearly-safe district, is running one point behind his GOP opponent, the unusually articulate Ryan Frazier (a black Republican with Obama-esque charisma)," Morris wrote.
(Whether he's right about the three seats will be known in two months, but Morris is clearly wrong about the 7th Congressional District being a nearly-safe Democratic seat. It's a swing district and Republicans won it 2002 and 2004.)
In addition, a poll released late last month from Magellan Data and Mapping Strategies showed Republican Ryan Frazier and Democrat Ed Perlmutter in a dead heat. The poll of 830 likely voters found Frazier with support from 40 percent of respondents and Perlmutter supported by 39 percent of those contacted.
It's a tough climate for Democrats this year, but Perlmutter's supporters note he is a tireless campaigner and is well-known throughout the district, where he was born and raised. He's been praised by veterans and other groups.
Also running is Libertarian Buck Bailey.

Sylvester Stalone spoke to his son in one of the most memorable Rocky scene about "believing in yourself."
"The world ain't always rainbows and sunshine," said Rocky Balboa to his son in the popular believe in yourself speech. "It is a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, and no ody is going to hit harder than life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth, but you've got to be willing to take the hits and not point fingers saying you're not where you want to be because of him, her or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that. I'm always going to love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You're my son and my blood. You're best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you're not going to have a life."
Sometimes words like these can be hard to hear especially when the world knocks you down to your knees and you lose hope and belief in yourself.
God's Word also has a memorable scripture about experiencing difficult things. In Romans 5:3-5, the scripture says these hard things happen to teach us, shape us, and help us value who we are, bring us closer to God, and to the people around us – and most importantly, serves as a reminder that we are never, never alone. Each of those moments, God always draws us back to Him.
I love the verse of Proverbs 3:5 which reads, "Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path."
Sometime we take our eyes off Him while taking hard, painful hits and lose sight of who we are. Sometimes we wander with selfish and empty hearts while trying to control that happened with our own hands instead of leaning on Him. Maybe there is no rhyme or reason, but our Father is calling out to us in our pain, begging us to connect with Him.
Sometimes God uses the tough moments to teach us while shaping our direction. Maybe the road we were on was a terrible one. Maybe we were leaning too deeply on a person who would eventually leave, or chasing love in the wrong places. Maybe we were letting ourselves be the center of the universe, living without true purpose or hope, but all of this disguised by temporary things.
Stallone is right. We do have value, even when we don't believe or see this worth.
This year I took a friend to Tybee Island's Annual Critz Tybee Run Fest. It was the five-year anniversary when I ran this race for the first time and a solo race when I experience one of the most difficult times as a wife, runner, and parent. This year's race brought back so much emotion and a strong desire to seek Him.
The first time I ran this race, I was intending to pound every bit of anger, emotion, and tears on the path of Tybee's 26.2 mile race. Did it work? Well, yes, but God showed me a bit more. You see, I was aiming, like many of us do when we try to put things in our own perspective on life, to achieve perfection in this race – if I could just try harder, love deeper, and give more. But no matter what I did, said, or how much I pushed myself, I seemed to forget that bad things just happen and are the inevitable and escaping pain is impossible.
Related story : Day 74: A Light Unto My Path
This year, I was able to celebrate this hope in God's love. He reminded me that pain will happen, but I don't need to feel alone and weak because Jesus already carried my pain. I just needed to do is accept my Father's love, and allow Him to direct my path and continue to have hope.
Just like the LightHouse story I experienced and wrote down in this blog five years ago, this hope and His light, shown through a symbol of a lighthouse on Tybee Island, carried me to the finish line. I learned that sometimes things will feel a little off, nothing will always appear right, spinning in circles or taking misguided paths will cause dizziness and confusion. That there will be times when I want to quit, run or chase something that makes me feel light looking for another thing hoping to fill a temporary feeling.
That's when God steps in. He desires to fill us, give us peace in our chaos, rest exhaustion, and healing in our brokenness. He wants to help us find our footing, continue forward "getting us back to the start". In my case, another starting line where I can once again discover hope and unconditional love of my Father. His reminded promise that even when the world hits us hard breaking us to our knees, He is always here and never leaving.

15.20 ▶ Questioner: Are there any Wanderers with these Elder Race, or not?
Ra: I am Ra. These are planetary entities harvested — Wanderers only in the sense that they chose, in fourth-density love, to immediately reincarnate in third density rather than proceeding towards fourth density. This causes them to be Wanderers of a type, Wanderers who have never left the Earth plane because of their free will rather than because of their vibrational level.

Well not this time misters! I am going to stand my cynical ground and call a bluff on the you, Nashville weathermen! Look what they have predicted for tomorrow:
You can only imagine what the grocery stores are going to be like tonight! This is much more then they predicted last time! And I, with much much thanks to by amazing husband, do not have to "run into" the store tonight! He went shopping and made sure we had all the necessities for the weekend - plenty of vino, Jack Daniels, and of course some grub!
After a short day tomorrow (only working until noon -woo hoo!!) when it is all suppose to hit!-given it snows......I plan on heading home to the hubs and enjoying a weekend full of wine, cooking, movies, and finishing up the 1st season of True Blood!
Have a fabulous weekend!!
P.S. This is one of the VERY few times I hope I am proved wrong! :)

Technology parks are models to capitalize on knowledge in national and regional growth, are efficient devices within the transfer of technology, creation and attraction of corporations with excessive added value. This discourse is bout and in addition examines how ideas of function, autonomy, synthetic intelligence and function-driven technology converge and impact approach, also affecting the consumer and all-round-reality. However, our society has develop into too dependent on technology to have the ability to give it up any time quickly. Add the transhumanist agenda to 'improve' humanity using technology and it's straightforward to see the potential for a brand new 'master race' to emerge. When Heidegger investigates 'the query concerning technology' he is involved within the essence of modern technology, not simply any technology; for it's modern technology that poses the issue. Looks like a lot of people are ready to see how 3D technology shapes up. I'm in no hurry to switch proper now either and am proud of my HD TV. The downside with any technology is us. In terms of replication tech, Soylant Green is an example of how people can turn something into a detriment.
They point out to all kinds of advamcements that technology has wrought in our midst; they create our attention to the medical and different sorts of faster motions(Air Travel, and many others) that we are now enjoying becasue of technology; and to inform the reality, these are true if one had been to look at them at face worth.
New science and technology can also at some point result in mainstream various gas autos, house travel for civilians, digital actuality conferences, a worldwide community of private wi-fi electronics, information-transmission at the velocity of thought, reversal of global warming and too many other improvements to mention.
The discovery of spinning wheel increased the productivity of thread making course of to an amazing extent and when Lynn White added the spinning wheel with rising provide of rags, this led to the production of low-cost paper, which was a first-rate issue in the development of printing technology.
If you think about making an attempt the tactic of using thermicon technology as your hair elimination solution, you must first totally perceive your complete hair growth cycle as a result of it'll help rather a lot in figuring out whether this methodology will give you the results you want.

<i>How will be the access path built here?</i>
It will be what is known as "arrival sequence". In general, the access path will be the physical sequence that records are stored on disk.
Note that physical sequence possibly have little relationship to the order that records were written to the file. E.g., if the REUSEDLT(*YES) attribute is set for the physical file, then normal add/change/delete maintenance can place new records into the physical positions of records that were previously deleted. File reorganization and various changes over the years can also affect the physical ordering on disk.
The basic rule is that the order of retrieval is not guaranteed unless you specify an order.

Newt Gingrich went on full attack mode Thursday night in a possible last ditch effort to wrestle Donald Trump's running mate slot from Mike Pence. Now he's going on Facebook to deal with the "hysteria" his statements about Muslims caused.
On Thursday's "Hannity," Gingrich said that Muslims should be tested for supporting Sharia law, and if they do, we should kick them out of the country.
Amazing distortions of my interview on Hannity last night.i will do a lengthy facebook live later this morning on the issue of sharia— Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) July 15, 2016
"Sharia is incompatible with Western civilization. Modern Muslims who have given up Sharia, glad to have them as citizens. Perfectly happy to have them next door," Gingrich said.
The former Speaker of the House did not stop at Muslims supporting Sharia.
"Anybody who goes on a website favoring ISIS, or al Qaeda, or other terrorist groups, that should be a felony and they should go to jail," Gingrich said.
The hysteria of the media overreaction to my comments on the Nice attack is very https://t.co/udfQQdx84A my facebook live later today — Newt Gingrich (@newtgingrich) July 15, 2016It had been speculated that Gingrich was a finalist to be Trump's running mate before news broke that Trump will name Pence as his running mate.
Trump on Friday officially announced Pence was his choice . A news conference was planned for Friday morning, but Trump delayed the event because of the terrorist attack in Nice, France, on Thursday night.
Hannity gave Gingrich a lift on his private jet to Indianapolis to meet with Trump earlier this week. The Fox News host tweeted that he was just doing a favor for a friend.

By Kialo Winters | NATIVE INNOVATION
September 13, 2014 - The Diné Bizaad app seeks to provide a dictionary of Diné words and phrases including spoken word. Native Innovation, Inc. and the collaborators of this project have designed a unique way of promoting our Diné language. This project in it's infancy was sometimes perceived as too ambitious, but the vision of Native Innovation, Inc. is to be just that - innovators and visionaries.
The Diné Bizaad app was originally developed January 2013 by Kialo Winters of Na' Neelzhiin - Torreon, New Mexico. This concept began January 2013 with a blog called Diné Web 2.0 which promoted Diné language learning by seeing and hearing spoken word by searching through categories of situational Diné words and phrases. The idea was also to create a space on the World Wide Web for collaborators and contributors to add Diné language samples. The Diné Bizaad app was made available on September 13, 2014 in the iTunes® store. The Diné Keyboard layout founded in 2012 by Jerome Tsosie and Florian Johnson has been integrated into the Diné Bizaad app and naturally makes searching words/phrases work seamlessly.
Kialo envisioned this language learning concept to be open source, with a community of Diné language enthusiasts contributing from anywhere around the world. In fact, this goal of community based sharing helped develop the move from a desktop browser to a mobile app design. The concept of crowdsourcing common Diné words and phrases allows us to input the regional variations of pronunciations and vocabularies spoken by our Diné people.
The Diné Bizaad app has two parts, a Diné-English vocabulary and a English-Diné vocabulary. The English words and phrases are all associated to Diné words and phrases. The synonyms element and antonyms element are important principal parts in searching correct Diné word and phrase associations within the app.
The Diné Bizaad app is to use the World Wide Web as a repository to perpetuate Diné language communication and education. We do this with an inclusive ensemble of Diné language enthusiasts, who continuously add content shared from Diné communities and from their personal contributions into the Diné Bizaad app repository.
The first goal, education and the second, system management are goals stating what results the Diné Bizaad app will be. Since this is a mobile app, it's difficult to measure the outcomes or return on investment and will have to go by local census and local language assessments, respectively.
- You will be able to read and hear, through spoken word, enunciated Diné letter consonants, diphthongs, glottal & nasal sounds and vowels.
- You will be able to identify self-help and intrinsic motivations to learn the Diné language through dialogue synchronously and asynchronously with friends, family and neighbors.
- You will be able to use this as a language learning tool that accompanies language curriculums in any formal education institutions.

After 14 innings and more than five hours, Polk State won its home opener last night, defeating Lake-Sumter State College 7-6.
Trent Sinkfield's two-out line drive hit the pitcher and brought home Miles Simington from third base with the winning run.
Billy McKay got the win, pitching a scoreless 14th inning.
The Eagles tallied 13 hits, 13 walks, and 13 strikeouts.
Polk State took a 6-3 lead into the ninth inning, but the Lakehawks rallied for three runs to tie the game.
The Eagles loaded the bases with two out in the bottom of the ninth but failed to score.
They put the potential winning run on base in the 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th innings before finally scoring the game-winner in the 14th.
"It's always nice to get a win at home on Opening Day," said Head Coach Al Corbeil.
"Nothing like playing a 'single doubleheader' in one night when we have two more games in the next two days.
"It was a game of some good pitching performances at times by both teams, some very bad base running, and a lack of the big hit. But we finally got the big hit there with Trent.
"We just about emptied our bench and had pitchers playing the field and everything else. Everybody got some experience tonight. They got their feet wet, that's for sure. "
After Lake-Sumter jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the top of the third inning, the Eagles responded with a run in the bottom of the frame. Sam Koruschak led off with a single to left, took second on a wild pitch, moved to third on a fielder's choice, and scored when Zach Scott's grounded out.
With the Lakehawks took a 3-1 lead in the fifth, Polk State answered with two runs in the sixth, two more in the seventh, and one in the eighth.
Simington went 3-for-7 with two doubles, two runs, an RBI, a walk, and a stolen base.
In seven at bats Sinkfield singled, doubled, walked, scored twice and drove in the game-winning run.
Zach Scott had four walks, a run, and an RBI.
Nico Limoncelli collected three RBI, a single and a triple, a walk, and a stolen base.
Danny Berg had a single, a sacrifice, a walk, and an RBI.
Pat Doudican started on the mound for the Eagles. In three innings he allowed two runs on two hits, walking three and striking out three.
Working in relief were Julio Blanco (two innings, one run), Bryce Van Horn (two scoreless innings), Chavez Fernander (two innings, three runs, three hits), Evan Johnson (four scoreless innings), and McKay (one shutout inning).
The Eagles (1-0, No. 7 FCSAA, No. 12 NJCAA) face Eastern Florida (0-1, No. 9 FCSAA) today at 1 p.m. at Bing Tyus Yard in Winter Haven.

Festival 2014, presentation
The main thought , dealing with the preparation of the third edition of JULIET was listen to opposing forces that dwell in each of us . The push towards outside and listening to the inside, wanting to leave for the nostalgia of return , the future and the past. And the need to deal with both.
Verona lives and has lived in the myth of Romeo and Juliet : the emblem of love for the world and the next door neighbor to the citizen. With the result of two forms of knowledge that do not meet.
I would try to fill the gap , trying to understand , meet and live with Verona and their citizen the story, and meet up with them side by side , on the street , in schools, in the premises. And they become the protagonists of their myth.
I would like to welcome visitors , lovers, tourists, fans, curious continuing to give life to the myth that they know and see and show how it can change the life stage of Romeo and Juliet: from the classic Opera in love, for the first time located in one of the "temple of love ", Juliet's tomb, to the "return to life" in Shakespearean times and places , the RE- LIFE who wants to enjoy the space and time written 400 years ago.
In the year of the 450th anniversary of the birth of Shakespeare be Verona tribute to the bard who chose our city and hoisted as a symbol .
And continue to believe that , from England to Italy , from Spain to Germany , from Greece to France, there is a COMMON EUROPEAN CULTURE that is born from the great thinkers, writers , poets who have inhabited this Europe before us, and that have created the Western Canon in which we can all recognize .
That Opera in love is the leader of a European project on the city of love (EUROPE IN LOVE – Europa enamorada ); that Opera in love in this autumn and winter has turned the tourism fairs in Europe ( London , Berlin, Milan) to hear and be learn from international organizations of tourism; that Opera in Love is about to enter the scientific committee of the Second Congress of the International Pageants (Teruel – October 2014 ) , are signs that indicate that a route is started , that the moorings are give it up and that the route is plotted .
Program to the stage … not forgive to mention that this year Juliet will seek to develop work for young artists, to promote the hospitality of Verona, to integrate the cultural and tourist offer in order to be abreast of the times in respect of the city , its inhabitants , its guests.
Festival 2013, presentation
I' am Solimano Pontarollo, artistic director of the Juliet Festival, now on its second edition.
"Juliet" puts Shakespeare in theater, dance, opera, literature and cinema. All in the spectacular setting of the Romanesque church of the twelfth century, Santa Maria in Chiavica .
From 17 June to 2 September 2013, the Festival proposes 22 events dedicated to the Shakespearean's heroine :
* Every Monday (the day when there are no shows in the Arena ), the star of the Festival: Opera in love – Romeo & Juliet
* The debut of three new productions: "Black Juliet", "La lamarè Juliet" and "email@example.com"
* And again, Juliet in Feltrinelli, Portami con te, La passione è un'altra grammatica, Globe on screen, Lettere d'amore scritte a mano and R & J readings
with a break for the San Gio Festival and Mid-August.
During this summer 2013, Juliet will open the doors of the church that traspires history and legend. We are honored to be in the company of so many actors and directors and to share with our audience of Shakespearean lovers, Italian and foreign tourists and citizens all our passion, our energy and our desire to be open to the world.
