What is one resource to help AAPI entrepreneurs succeed?
From joining the Asian Professional Exchange to finding a mentor, there are several resources for AAPI small businesses to help boost the path to success.
Asian Professional Exchange
In the United States, several governmental agencies run programs that work to support AAPI business owners. However, many other resources work to provide help to Asian-American businesses. Some examples are the Asian Professional Exchange, Asian Women in Business, and Asian American Business Development Center, which work specifically to support these businesses. There are also conferences that unite different Asian business owners to discuss important issues in the community and meet and network with others.
Saneem Ahearn, Colorescience
Small Business Administration
One resource to help AAPI entrepreneurs succeed is the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA offers several resources for small businesses, including counseling, training, and financing. The SBA also has several programs specifically for AAPI entrepreneurs, including the Emerging Leaders program and the 8(a) Business Development program.
Matthew Ramirez, Paraphrasing Tool
ACE NextGen
The Asian/Pacific Islander American Chamber of Commerce and Entrepreneurship, which is related to ACE NextGen, is an excellent opportunity for younger generations to connect with industry experts in a mentorship setting. Programs such as Inner Circles, which provides development from leaders, are an effective way to build business skills and network with others. They also offer a six-month program known as Level Up, which provides webinar experiences to new entrepreneurs. For those looking for support from AAPI leaders, ACE NextGen helps young business owners follow in their footsteps to success.
Dino Ha, Kaja Cosmetics
Asian American Business Development Center
One of the best resources for AAPI entrepreneurs is the Asian American Business Development Center, AABDC. The AABDC non-profit supports Asian-American-owned businesses by connecting owners and highlighting our achievements with a sense of strong community. They also provide a load of support for AAPI businesses, offering everything from technical assistance to COVID-recovery programs. Their annual Asian American Business Roundtable is a favorite - it's always full of helpful information aimed at the unique issues that AAPI face in the business world.
John Li, Fig Loans
AAPI Whitepapers
Whitepapers focus on how AAPI entrepreneurs should implement sales and marketing strategies. This vital resource is published on reputable media sites, providing data-driven and informative insights. Whitepapers are backed by careful scientific analysis and case studies from respectable business professionals, agencies, and organizations.
Tim Hill, Social Status
Find Your Local Asian Chamber of Commerce
Asian Chambers of Commerce have become more common in recent years. They're a great way to find support and resources within your local community. Networking helps you connect to others to build on the positive effect of being part of something greater.
Nate Tsang, WallStreetZen
AAPI entrepreneurs can find tools to help them succeed by participating in American Association of Asian Pacific American (AAPAC) endorsed conferences, webinars, and events. The AAPAC also provides access to mentors who are familiar with the challenges faced by AAPI entrepreneurs. Also, the Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Entrepreneurship Success Network (AESN) is an organization that provides resources to AAPI entrepreneurs. The AESN strives to create economic vitality for the AAPI community by providing networking opportunities, mentorship, coaching, and other resources to help entrepreneurs succeed in their business endeavors.

The Power of Mentors
Having mentors has been one of the most impactful things in my career. Learning from the experiences of people who have built successful companies helped me avoid many mistakes. They helped me narrow my focus to what was important and opened up many opportunities that wouldn't have been otherwise available. Aside from the tactical knowledge/connections, what I found helpful was learning to navigate the world of fundraising/business. You often don't look like or share the same culture as the people sitting across the table.
My biggest suggestions for finding mentors are through venture accelerators/incubators and asking smart/interesting/specific questions. I found that if I wanted to stand out when reaching out, getting the person to genuinely think, "That's a really good question!" increased my chances of getting a response and sparking conversations.

Shiva Sati story delves into the problems created by the ignorance of human beings. Lord Shiva was never part of the society. He was not part of the illusion, instead he taught the worthlessness of the world by roaming around the cremation grounds. He wanted to show to all living beings that what they thought as eternal is only a bubble that can break anytime and transform. But if all the people followed Shiva, the universe will cease to exist. For the survival of society, Shiva had to mend his ways and for this Mother Goddess took birth as Sati, the youngest daughter of Daksha.
Daksha Prajapati was the lord of the civilization and he had created the rules of the traditional society. Shiva never accepted the traditions of society. This infuriated an ego-inflated Daksha, who failed to perceive truth. But Sati was already in love with Shiva because She had realized that there is nothing but Shiva.
The mendicant Shiva ignored Sati in the beginning as he had no interest in the world. But the intense austerities performed by Sati moved Shiva and He appeared before her. Shiva wanted to know why she wanted to marry someone like him who was hideous for the society. Sati, who was Prakriti (Mother Nature), said to Shiva (Purusha), we both are incomplete without each other.
A determined Sati was able to convince Shiva. They both roamed around the world far away from the society. Sati introduced kama (pleasure) to Shiva.
Daksha was unhappy about this and to show his anger, he decided to conduct a major yagna. All the gods and people were invited. But Shiva and Sati were not invited. Shiva knew very well that this was a plan to insult him.
But Sati wanted to know why her husband was not invited and went to the yagna despite the warnings given by Shiva.
At the yagna, Sati was not welcomed and respected. Instead Daksha showered insult on Shiva. His rustic ways were ridiculed and Sati soon realized the folly of not listening to Shiva. An insulted Sati could not bear the humiliation and she sat on the ground in yagna hall meditating on Shiva, the Yogi, one who is aware of the ways of the universe.
Soon she brought forth her inner fire and allowed it to consume her.
Separation from Sati aroused Krodha in Shiva. The anger caused by the death of Sati in Shiva was uncontrollable and it brought forth numerous Ganas, all ferocious killers. Their attack on the yagna field was equal to the attack of millions of rabies infected dogs. Daksha was beheaded by Virabhadra.
When Shiva's anger subsided, he walked into the yagna hall and was moved by the bloodbath created by his anger. He realized that Kama and Krodha had trapped him in the ways of the Samsara. He restored the lives of the people. Daksha, who now realized nothing moves in the world without the knowledge of Shiva, gave him due respect.
Shiva walked away from the yagna hall with the body of Sati. He wandered across the cosmos with it. There seemed to be no end to Shiva's anger and grief. This led to an imbalance in the cosmos. Finally, Lord Vishnu decided to decimate the body of Sati with his Sudhrashana Chakra. He cut the body of Sati into 51 pieces and the places where Sati's body fell came to be known as Shaktipithas.

• scurf •
Pronunciation: skêrf • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Noun, mass
Meaning: 1. A scaly condition of the skin, including the scalp where it is called 'dandruff'. 2. (Rare) Low-life, the scum of the Earth, worthless people or animals.
Notes: The original adjective derived from scurf, scurvy, wandered off on its own long ago, coming to its current meaning of "worthless, sorry, in very bad condition." Scurvy also came to be used as a noun referring to a debilitating disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C. As a result, flaky skin—or virtually anything with a flaky surface in poor condition—is now said to be scurfy. This means that the condition itself is scurfiness.
In Play: The flakes on flaky skin, especially dandruff, are the primary designees of today's Good Word: "Since trying this new shampoo, I've developed an odd scurf in my hair that's worse than the dandruff I was trying to rid myself of." The adjective today is often used in botany to refer to plants with flaky stems: "This new plant you bought has beautiful flowers, but they all grow on a scurfy stem I would be afraid to touch."
Word History: Although there seems to be some evidence of the ancestors of today's Good Word in other Indo-European languages, most of them are concentrated in Germanic languages like Danish skurv "plant fungus", German Schorf "scurf", and Dutch schurft "scabies". For centuries English speakers have had difficulty keeping the U and R straight in scurf, so early on the word was often pronounced scruff, the origin of today's scruffy, implying "unkempt, dirty". Scruff was then confused with another word, scuff "back of the neck", leading us to say "grab someone by the scruff of the neck" instead of "scuff of the neck". (Today we thank the absolutely scurfless Sara Goldman for seeing the value in this word and suggesting it to us.)

Old Time Milling and Polenta
Last weekend we drove over the hills to Calistoga, then down the road to the Bale Grist Mill, a California State Park, to watch them mill corn into polenta.
Here is a diagram of the mill, with the water coming in by flume to the top of the water wheel which turns the wheel, which turns various gears, which in turn turn the millstone to grind the grain, also known as grist. The numbers refer to the description and photos below.
We had a very good guide in the miller. He knew the history and brought it to life with vivid descriptions of the Napa valley full of wheat fields (instead of grape vines), of the mill being a community center where neighbors met and gossiped while the grain was being turned into flour or corn meal or polenta (a coarser corn meal), of the flume being built to the newly constructed mill pond on higher ground so that there was year round water with some force behind it to turn the water wheel,(#1)
and stories about Dr. Bale who founded the mill and of Dr. Bale's widow making sure that after he died the mill had good French mill stones instead of the local quartz ones that the mill started with...and those stones are still in use!
He did a wonderful job of explaining the working parts of the mill, too, including the gears under the main floor.(#2)
Who knew that wooden gears were better than metal ones in a mill? The teeth could be replaced and the metal teeth could cause sparks and start a fire with all that flour flying around.
This mill had a set of mill stones for grinding flour and a set for grinding corn. Since the miller's helper had gone home sick, he asked for volunteers. Cucumber Spraygun was asked to turn the crank which engaged one set of gear with the ones turning the mill wheel on top (the bottom one is fixed). Here he is in action.(#3)
The miller was grinding polenta the afternoon we were there. They used to use Indian corn which is very colorful but some of the kernels grind into black specks...not too good for sales. Now they use plain yellow corn. Here is the set up for milling. The round box contains the stone wheels, the wedged box above holds the grain and there is a chute from it to the opening into the eye of the top stone wheel. From there is goes in between the stones and the grains sort of grind themselves...the stones never touch. (#4)
If you are lucky enough to obtain stone ground polenta, you can make this recipe, but if not, just shorten the cooking time by 3-4 minutes and use regular instant polenta from the store. Either way you can enjoy a grain that is very healthy for you, delicious, and in a dish that you can make ahead.
If you get to Napa County, California, check to see if the Bale Grist Mill is open. If it is, treat yourself to a journey to the past, plus a real-time opportunity to purchase delicious stone ground wheat flour, spelt flour and corn meal as well as this yummy polenta.
Grilled Cheese and Basil Polenta
Adapted from a Donna Hay (#40) recipe as posted on Technicolor Kitchen blog
3 cups (750ml) water
1 cup (170g) stone ground polenta
60g butter, chopped (I only used a tablespoon of butter)
½ cup (50g) finely grated Parmesan
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup basil leaves
2 cups (200g) shredded mozzarella cheese
olive oil, for brushing
ragu or marinara sauce, if desired
Place water in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Gradually whisk in the polenta and cook, stirring, for 5-8 minutes or until thickened and grains are no longer hard. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan, salt and pepper. Pour half of the polenta into a 20cm (8 inch) square pan lined with non-stick baking paper (I used foil) and spread to smooth. Top with the basil, mozzarella and remaining polenta. Refrigerate for 45 minutes or until set.
Cut into squares/rectangles and brush with oil. Heat a char-grill pan or barbecue over high heat. (I used my cast iron skillet, well heated.) Cook the polenta for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden and the cheese has melted.
Serve topped with a generous serving of the pasta sauce or a ragu or marinara sauce of your choice.

I don't mind a few black specks in my cornmeal! But, then, I just like cornmeal.
I always regret that I've NEVER managed to be at there when the miller is milling, and I've been picnicking, wandering, walking and running all over that piece of land. I'm impressed that you plan better than we do!Tanita, I had some of the older version when they milled with the specks. I liked it but I can understand the change...those $5 bags of milled grains keep the place going. If you are near here we could go together...I never seem to tire of that mill.
David, they sell a book in the gift shop that tells you how to do it from A-Z. Trouble is you need a lot of land and a steady source of water, plus to be a business and not a learning center as the Bale mill is, you need to be near where vast quantities of wheat are grown. Nebraska anyone?
Anon, I guess the other community center in the late 1830s was the largest landowner's rancho, but that was just for occasional parties. Apparently they didn't have the corner store or the post office for a gathering place.That first photo just destroyed any inkling I had of trying to eat lighter! I love the photos of your visit to the mill. You cannt beat a good, stone ground polenta. I've been to a grist mill, but they were just grindinng wheat for flour, kinda boring lol Grilled cheese and basil polenta is dinner very soon :)

Hey Mr. Green,
I have oil heat. I am gone about 12 hours a day. Should I turn down the heat when I leave, and by how much? Some people tell me that it takes more oil to reheat the walls, etc. than to leave it at a constant temperature all the time. --Jeff, Hellam, Pennsylvania
Your advisors are wrong. It takes more energy to maintain a constant temperature in a house than to turn the temperature down when you go out or go to bed and then reheat. Our ancestors observed this truth long ago, which explains why they didn't waste precious firewood by constantly piling more logs on the fire all night long in their caves, cabins, or hovels. It is a basic thermodynamic law that heat moves to where it is colder. So if your heat is always turned up, there is a constant transfer of that higher heat from the inside to the outside, even in a well insulated building. Hence, maintaining a higher temperature when you're not inside is, in effect, heating the great outdoors.
The truth of this could be demonstrated with equations involving heat transfer and conductivity, and assorted coefficients for various materials, but an easier way to grasp the basic principle is to think of yourself as a furnace. Thanks the fact that you're a warm-blooded creature, your body constantly burns fuel to maintain a temperature of 98.6 degrees. When you jump into a cold bed, your body heat can warm you up fairly quickly, getting you to the same comfort level you'd feel if you'd been lolling there burning up energy all day long. It doesn't take long for the heat you're producing to match the amount that is escaping. (The same basic principles apply to water heaters: a tank heater that hold water at a constant temperature uses about 25 percent more energy than an on-demand water heater that only heats the water while it's being used.)
So turn the thermostat down to 55 degrees when you're not home or asleep, and you can save anywhere from 5 to 20 percent on your heating bills, depending on insulation, windows, etc. Also keep the temperature at a 68 degrees max, which is comfortable for most people, and if it's not, do as Jimmy Carter wisely recommended long ago, and put on a sweater.
If you're the type of person who forgets to turn the thermostat down, you should consider a programmable thermostat that does this automatically at times you choose.
Finally, remember that the dead of winter is also the rebirth of light, so may all you environmentally curious folks who are kind enough to read me in print and here online enjoy a splendid holiday season and a Happy New Year. Keep those questions coming, and do not be discouraged by the recent election of all those environmentally unfriendly, climate-change-denying, tree-hugger-hating politicians. Put the pressure on them however you can, and if you're one of those people who spends an average of 23 hours a month on Facebook, turn off the computer, sally forth to your nearest environmental group, and become a real-life activist.

This paper attempts to analyze the depth of poverty and examines the causal relationship between disability and poverty among Indian elderly. We use 58th round of National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) data surveyed in 2002. Our analysis finds higher level of poverty and income inequality among disabled elderly as compared to non-disabled elderly and those differences in the income levels vary significantly across different age groups, gender, social groups and educational status. Finally, the estimation results confirm the hypothesis of causal relationship between poverty and disability.

Rhiannon McCrea and her boyfriend Ryan Tikk are lucky to be alive after disaster struck on an evening ride around Cowichan Lake on a logging road on Vancouver Island on Feb. 3.
McCrea said she and Tikk entered the logging road near Youbou at about 5 p.m. that day in their 2017 GMC Canyon, just days after heavy rain in the area caused a local state of emergency to be called due to the flooding.
"Almost half way around the lake, I suggested we turn around and I'd drive back," McCrea said.
"It was getting dark and I didn't feel like going the whole way around. All of a sudden, through the darkness, I saw two huge boulders fall. Ryan yelled 'rock slide, rock slide! Put it in reverse!'. I put the truck in reverse, but before I had a chance to step on the gas, an entire rock slide came down on us, instantly disabling the vehicle. It happened so fast."
Tikk, who was in the passenger seat, grabbed for McCrea and put her head into his lap to protect her, and then told her to quickly get into the back seat.
"But my legs were stuck under the steering wheel and that was the moment I thought I was going to die," McCrea said.
"Rocks and trees were falling, smashing our vehicle and thrashing it around. All of the airbags deployed, I managed to get my legs free seconds before the driver's side windshield and roof caved in. I got into the fetal position in the back seat, and Ryan climbed on top of me. I was closing my eyes, screaming and crying that I didn't want to die."
McCrea said she remembers the smell of the broken rocks, the sound of glass shattering and what sounded like bombs going off, and then there was silence.
The couple then realized they had been pushed almost completely off the road.
"It was dark, cold and so scary," McCrea said.
"Ryan found my cellphone and I dialed 911. I thank my lucky stars we had service. As I was trying to tell the dispatcher our location and what had just happened, another rock slide started. I just remember screaming and crying while I had my head buried down in my arms. I was hysterical and begging for my life. I couldn't die this way. Not now. Not here. Then it stopped again."
McCrea said she was on the phone for 37 minutes with 911 and, during that time, she realized her hands were bloody, the vehicle was smoking and her shirt was ripped open, but she doesn't remember much else.
"About 37 minutes after the first rock slide, we saw red and blue lights," she said.
"The relief I felt in that moment is indescribable. Two police officers from the Lake Cowichan RCMP detachment ripped open the passenger door and carried me to the ambulance. Firemen from the Youbou fire hall also arrived. I didn't see it then, but a tree bigger than the cab of the truck fell just feet in front of us."
McCrae said she spent about seven hours in the trauma room at Cowichan District Hospital and, after numerous tests, it was determined that she had a concussion, whiplash, bone bruises and many other superficial bruises and cuts.
"But, other than that, I was OK," she said.
"Ryan got a rock to the shin with a minor fracture. The firemen were shocked that we walked away from something so terrible. We were in a lot of pain, I got the worst of it, and he saved my life."
But McCrae said her body is healing a lot quicker than her mind.
"I'm traumatized but I'm OK. We are so lucky to be alive. I am so very grateful; this could and should have been a lot worse. The truck was completely totalled."
McCrea said she and Ryan were in the wrong spot at the wrong time.
"I'll be wary of going down that road again, especially in the winter time," she said.
"We're healing right now, but both Ryan and myself intend to start work again soon."

Children going to preschool often learn as much from each other as they do from the teacher. This is especially true when it comes to language. A recently published study found that children who start out with the poorest language skills tended to lose ground when they were placed in the lowest ability classes but improved their language skills when they were placed in average-ability classes.
Children with poor language skills either didn't improve or showed a worsening in these skills over the course of the year when they were placed with others with poor skills but did improve when they attended a class with higher achieving children.
About half the children who attend preschool are in programs that are subsidized by state or federal money. Many, if not most, of these programs only enroll children with a demonstrated economic need and who often start off at increased risk for poor language skills. The programs often cluster these children together in the same classrooms. The study findings say this isn't the way to go.
The study looked at 338 children in 48 different preschool classrooms. It measured the children's grammar skills, vocabulary and ability to discuss what was happening in a picture book. Children were tested in the fall and again in the spring, to give a picture of their improvement over the school year.
The quality of the teacher didn't seem to have any effect on this. The authors suggest that interactions between the children or teacher expectations for the students are driving it.
In either case, the study results say that grouping students by achievement or income at this early age is not the way to help them. Letting kids help each other is the better way to go.
An article on the study was published online by Child Development October 25, 2011.

Horowitz's Campus Jihads |
A t Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, "WANTED" posters with a headshot of Professor Abel Alves appeared on campus a few weeks back; a student who took Associate professor David Gibbs' "What is Politics?" class at the University of Arizona claimed that Gibbs "is an anti-American communist who hates America and is trying to brainwash young people into thinking America sucks"; a political-science professor at Metropolitan State College of Denver in Colorado says she has been the target of death threats and hate e-mail in the wake of the recent debate in the state over an Academic Bill of Rights; a University of Georgia professor is being investigated after allegations he bullied a conservative student. Revenge of the Nerds? Twenty-first century Gipper brigades? No, and No. It's the Horowistas -- a small, hearty and growing band of followers of right wing provocateur David Horowitz and his Students for Academic Freedom.Since 9/11, spying in the name of homeland security has become as American as baseball, cherry pie and listening to a Cat Stevens record. According to a recent report in the San Francisco Chronicle, a relatively unknown branch of the Defense Department called the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is employing its state-of-the-art aerial imaging equipment in service of homeland security. Closer to home, David Horowitz and the Independent Women's Forum are scanning the nation's college campuses in the name of homeland security. Horowitz, the head of the Los Angeles-based Center for the Study of Popular Culture, and the conservative women at the Washington, DC-based Independent Women's Forum are focusing their homeland security spying on a much more specific target, liberal academics. Together Horowitz and the IWF have been cranking out advertisements and placing them in a number of student newspapers across the country encouraging conservative students to scan their campuses for so-called anti-American academics. According to Pacifica Radio's Democracy Now!, the advertisements running in student newspapers charge universities with being dominated by liberal or left-wing professors. The ads "are paid for by well-funded groups like Students for Academic Freedom -- a Horowitz group -- and the Independent Women's Forum," Democracy Now! reported. Two of the campaign's first victims are Ball State's Professor Alves and David Gibbs, an Associate professor of History and Sociology at the University of Arizona, who last spring taught a course entitled "What is Politics?" On the Ball State University campus, posters "announcing that history professor Abel Alves was 'WANTED'" was put up by Amanda Carpenter, a senior, who said she put up the posters in order to attract attention to her website, the Muncie, Indiana Star Press reported. The professor's "alleged offenses include indoctrinating freshmen with liberal books, such as Fast Food Nation, and guest lectures by the Humane Society." According to the newspaper, another Professor, George Wolfe, who teaches peace and conflict resolution, was recently the target of a profile in Horowitz's online publication, FrontPage Magazine. The story "accused Wolfe of giving students extra credit for going to Washington to protest the war in Iraq and lowering the grade of a student who argued in favor of a military response to the Sept. 11 attacks." The university denied that any credit had been given for merely attending an anti-war demonstration. On September 27, David Gibbs told Amy Goodman, the host of Democracy Now! that his largely freshmen class "focuses on propaganda and deception," and he "emphasize[s] incidents of the government lying and things like that." When he taught the class last spring, "the Independent Women's Forum... put into the local student newspaper, an advertisement that basically argued that there's a kind of left wing domination of the universities and students should fight that with the strong implication they should monitor their professors and report them, at least that's how I read it." When Gibbs received student evaluations, "a student who said I'm anti-American communist who hates America and is trying to brainwash young people into thinking that America sucks," said that "I should be investigated by the FBI, and the FBI has been contacted." Later on, "another student on a web log during the summer said he took my class and also said that he didn't like my politics and suggests that students shouldn't take my class but should drop by and try to disrupt it. There have been a number of instances like that which I hadn't had before." Although Gibbs said that he wasn't sure or worried about whether the FBI was contacted, he acknowledged that he thought it was "indicative of a larger national trend, which is conservative activist groups with lots of money and connections to the Republican Party trying to encourage and even to some extent orchestrate students and local conservative groups like those at the University of Arizona to go and basically harass faculty if they don't like their politics." Goodman pointed out that the full-page ads, similar to ones placed in other college student newspapers, says: "Top ten things your professors do to skew you. They push their political views, liberal opinions dominate, they don't present both sides of the debate, conservative viewpoints practically non-existent. Classrooms are for learning, not brainwashing. They force you to check your intellectual honesty at the door. They make you uncomfortable if you disagree. Grading should be based on facts not opinion. Education? More like indoctrination." Horowitz's mission Refresher: David Horowitz, and his writing partner Peter Collier, were well-known lefties in the 60s. Horowitz was a Black Panther supporter and editor of Ramparts magazine, the premier left-wing publication of the period. He and Collier, a co-founder of the Los Angeles-based Center for the Study of Popular Culture, came out as Reagan Republicans in a highly controversial 1985 Washington Post article called "Lefties for Reagan." Since then, Horowitz has blended Dr. Laura-like pomposity with an extraordinary ability to fund raise and self-promote.In one of his first campus-wide advertising campaigns, Horowitz launched an anti-reparations campaign aimed both at thwarting what was becoming a hot button issue -- reparations for African Americans -- and drawing attention to his activities. His effort was highlighted by attempts to place full-page advertisements headlined "Ten Reasons Why Reparations for Slavery is a Bad Idea--and Racist Too," in college newspapers across the country. What started at the University of California, Berkeley, on the last day of Black History Month, evolved into a full-blown promotional and fundraising project for his organization. Since 9/11, Horowitz has been a dynamic organizer. In the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks, he lambasted California Congresswoman Barbara Lee for having the temerity to be the only congressperson to vote against giving President Bush a blank check for his war against terrorism. In a column called "The Enemy Within," Horowitz branded Lee an "anti-American communist who supports America's enemies and has actively collaborated with them in their war against America." In late October 2001, Horowitz spent three hours on the radio program of Dr. Laura Schlessinger -- America's erstwhile pop psychologist before Dr. Phil took the reins -- denouncing the "so-called Peace Movement." As part of the "National Call to SUPPORT the WAR," Horowitz told Dr. Laura's audience that "campus leftists hate America more than the terrorists." The reason for this, said Horowitz, is campus radicals view "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. They are thrilled that the symbols of America were destroyed." Horowitz then launched another advertising effort, the "Think Twice" campaign -- a name seemingly derived from his "Second Thoughts" project of the 1980s -- which was aimed at convincing students on college campuses not to protest against Bush's war on terrorism. In "An Open Letter to the "Anti-War" Demonstrators: Think Twice Before You Bring The War Home," Horowitz urged students to "think again and not to join an 'anti-war' effort against America's coming battle with international terrorism." In 2002 he launched the National Campaign to Take Back Our Campuses, and in a booklet titled "Political Bias in America's Universities," Horowitz described "what's wrong in academics today," and the "steps you and I can take to restore sanity to our colleges and universities." Horowitz's campus jihads could not take place without well-stuffed coffers. His first post-conversion project, which he co-directed with Peter Collier, was called "Second Thoughts." Between January 1986 and January 1990, this project raised $950,000. As president of the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, he has profited even more handsomely: According to mediatranparency.org, between 1989 and 2002, Horowitz's outfits received 115 grants accounting for more than $12,700,000. Right-wing philanthropic partners include the Allegheny Foundation, Castle Rock Foundation (the Coors Family), the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, the Scaife Family Foundation, the Sarah Scaife Foundation, the Olin Foundation (for more on Horowitz's financial pipeline, click here). Independent women? Founded in 1992, as a direct response to the Clarence Thomas hearings, the Independent Women's Forum Mission Statement aims "to affirm women's participation in and contributions to a free, self-governing society."In a May 2002 piece for the Chicago Tribune, Chris Black wrote: "The conservative women at the Independent Women's Forum are cheering the return of the guy. From their standpoint, the terrorist attacks on the United States turned the feminist tide and brought back traditional values, a retreat to home and hearth, and an appreciation for the manly man." Between 1994 and 2002, the Independent Women's Forum received more than 70 grants worth more than $5 million dollars from the Randolph, Castle Rock, JM, Sarah Scaife, the John M. Olin Foundation and others, according to mediatransparency.org. David Horowitz told the Muncie Star Press that he "completely deplore[d]" the "WANTED" poster, and that he doesn't "demonize these professors. I want them (professors) to do the right thing. I've never called for the firing of a professor and wouldn't." And in a bit of Rumsfeld-speak, Horowitz added that "When you deal with students, you're dealing with students." In lieu of "WANTED" posters, Horowitz's Students for Academic Freedom provides students with a manual that gives an example of a poster asking, "Is Your Professor Using the Classroom as a Political Soapbox?" The manual also provides "advice on how to create Web sites, get publicity, file complaints, and spot abuses of academic freedom, such as using university funds to hold one-sided, partisan conferences, and inviting speakers to campus from one side of the political spectrum," the Muncie Star Press reported.

Automakers will usually try to impress you with super-fast zero-to-60 times. McLaren, on the other hand, boasts of the 650S's ability to go from zero to 124 miles per hour in 8.4 seconds. It can get to 60 miles per hour in under 3 seconds, in case you were wondering. Top speed is 207 miles per hour.
Pricing for the 650S has not been announced yet. But the car is meant to provide customers with a middle ground between the relatively accessible (for the rich) 12C, which starts at about $240,000, and the really expensive P1, which starts at over a million dollars.
It gets 641 horsepower from a small 3.8 liter V8. As in McLaren's other cars, the body is made from carbon fiber with aluminum frames. It's estimated to get just over 24 miles per gallon in European fuel economy tests.

NASA's Cassini spacecraft shows Saturn's shadow cutting sharply across its rings as the orbits of ring particles carry them suddenly from day to night. With no atmosphere to scatter light, shadows in space are much darker than we're used to here on Earth.
This view looks toward the unilluminated side of the rings from about 47 degrees below the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft wide-angle camera on March 5, 2013.
The view was obtained at a distance of approximately 891,000 miles (1.434 million kilometers) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 85 degrees. Image scale is 51 miles (82 kilometers) per pixel.
The Cassini-Huygens mission is a cooperative project of NASA, the European Space Agency and the Italian Space Agency. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, manages the mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington, D.C. The Cassini orbiter and its two onboard cameras were designed, developed and assembled at JPL. The imaging operations center is based at the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colo.
