Counterterrorism experts Rohan Gunaratna and Arabinda Acharya provide a short history of the conflict, which dates to at least the early 1900s, as well as an analysis of factors contributing to the most recent escalation of violence in 2004. The authors shed light on the causes of the southern Thai conflict and unravel the complex diversity and linkages among the key Thai insurgent groups and individuals involved. They examine its potential to spread to neighboring countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Indonesia. In addition to analyzing the insurgents' capabilities and opportunities, the authors provide a critique of government policies and make astute suggestions for resolving the conflict.
Targeting Terrorist Financing argues that it is not the institutions that have failed the war on terrorist financing; rather it is the states that have failed the institutions. The measures contemplated by the world community to interdict terrorists and their financial infrastructures are sufficient to debilitate the terrorists both militarily and financially. However, what has been increasingly lacking is political will among the states, and this has overwhelmed the spirit of cooperation in this very critical front against terrorism.
This volume assesses the need for international cooperation and the role of institutions and regimes in targeting terrorist financing. After the 9/11 attacks, there was an expression of global willingness to target terrorism generally, and terrorist financing in particular. The institutional mechanisms that grew out of this are explored in detail here, with a critical examination of the progress made by the international community. The impact of these measures is considered with respect to changes in the nature of the terrorist threat, money confiscated, adoption of international conventions, and global standards by states, and levels of compliance, among others.
This book will be of great interest to students of terrorism, international organisations, international security, and IR in general.
Arabinda Acharya is Research Fellow, Manager of Strategic Projects and Head of the Terrorist Financing Response Project at the International Centre for Political Violence and Terrorism Research in the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Giddings notes that unlike other organizations with racial goals, Delta Sigma Theta was created to change and benefit individuals rather than society. As a sorority, it was formed to bring women together as sisters, but at the some time to address the divisive, often class-related issues confronting black women in our society. There is, in Giddings's eyes, a tension between these goals that makes Delta Sigma Theta a fascinating microcosm of the struggles of black women and their organizations.
DST members have included Mary McLeod Bethune, Mary Church Terrell, Margaret Murray Washington, Shirley Chisholm, Barbara Jordan, and, on the cultural side, Leontyne Price, Lena Horne, Ruby Dee, Judith Jamison, and Roberta Flack. In Search of Sisterhood is full of compelling, fascinating anecdotes told by the Deltas themselves, and illustrated with rare early photographs of the Delta women.
The history of Jews in the United States is one of racial change that provides useful insights on race in America. Prevailing classifications have sometimes assigned Jews to the white race and at other times have created an off-white racial designation for them. Those changes in racial assignment have shaped the ways American Jews of different eras have constructed their ethnoracial identities. Brodkin illustrates these changes through an analysis of her own family's multi-generational experience. She shows how Jews experience a kind of double vision that comes from racial middleness: on the one hand, marginality with regard to whiteness; on the other, whiteness and belonging with regard to blackness.
Class and gender are key elements of race-making in American history. Brodkin suggests that this country's racial assignment of individuals and groupsconstitutes an institutionalized system of occupational and residential segregation, is a key element in misguided public policy, and serves as a pernicious foundational principle in the construction of nationhood. Alternatives available to non-white and alien "others" have been either to whiten or to be consigned to an inferior underclass unworthy of full citizenship. The American ethnoracial map-who is assigned to each of these poles-is continually changing, although the binary of black and white is not. As a result, the structure within which Americans form their ethnoracial, gender, and class identities is distressingly stable. Brodkin questions the means by which Americans construct their political identities and what is required to weaken the hold of this governing myth.
In Polynesia we set sail with navigators whose ancestors settled the Pacific ten centuries before Christ. In the Amazon we meet the descendants of a true lost civilization, the Peoples of the Anaconda. In the Andes we discover that the earth really is alive, while in Australia we experience Dreamtime, the all-embracing philosophy of the first humans to walk out of Africa. We then travel to Nepal, where we encounter a wisdom hero, a Bodhisattva, who emerges from forty-five years of Buddhist retreat and solitude. And finally we settle in Borneo, where the last rainforest nomads struggle to survive.
Understanding the lessons of this journey will be our mission for the next century. For at risk is the human legacy -- a vast archive of knowledge and expertise, a catalogue of the imagination. Rediscovering a new appreciation for the diversity of the human spirit, as expressed by culture, is among the central challenges of our time.
Featuring new and engaging essays by noted anthropologists and illustrated with full color photos, RACE: Are We So Different? is an accessible and fascinating look at the idea of race, demonstrating how current scientific understanding is often inconsistent with popular notions of race. Taken from the popular national public education project and museum exhibition, it explores the contemporary experience of race and racism in the United States and the often-invisible ways race and racism have influenced laws, customs, and social institutions.
During that time, the U.S. has seen the most dramatic demographic and cultural shifts in its history, what can be called the colorization of America. But the same nation that elected its first Black president on a wave of hope—another four-letter word—is still plunged into endless culture wars.
How do Americans see race now? How has that changed—and not changed—over the half-century? After eras framed by words like "multicultural" and "post-racial," do we see each other any more clearly? Who We Be remixes comic strips and contemporary art, campus protests and corporate marketing campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Trayvon Martin into a powerful, unusual, and timely cultural history of the idea of racial progress. In this follow-up to the award-winning classic Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip-Hop Generation, Jeff Chang brings fresh energy, style, and sweep to the essential American story.
"They put him to death by hanging him on a tree." Acts 10:39
The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and "black death," the cross symbolizes divine power and "black life" God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era.
In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.
What caused the Almighty Latin King and Queen Nation of New York City to make this remarkable transformation? And why has it not happened to other gangs elsewhere? David C. Brotherton and Luis Barrios were given unprecedented access to new and never-before-published material by and about the Latin Kings and Queens, including the group's handbook, letters written by members, poems, rap songs, and prayers. In addition, they interviewed more than one hundred gang members, including such leaders as King Tone and King Hector. Featuring numerous photographs by award-winning photojournalist Steve Hart, the book explains the symbolic significance for the gang of hand gestures, attire, rituals, and rites of passage. Based on their inside information, the authors craft a unique portrait of the lives of the gang members and a ground-breaking study of their evolution.
In this new edition, Feagin has included much new interview material and other data from recent research studies on framing issues related to white, black, Latino, and Asian Americans, and on society generally. The book also includes a new discussion of the impact of the white frame on popular culture, including on movies, video games, and television programs as well as a discussion of the white racial frame's significant impacts on public policymaking, immigration, the environment, health care, and crime and imprisonment issues.

Mary Kay Linge recounts the extraordinary story of Robinson's life-from his early childhood in the South, to his college years at UCLA, to becoming a Hall of Famer and a major figure in the NAACP. In analyzing the surrounding social and cultural contexts of Robinson's time, this biography examines the legacy of a man who forever changed baseball. A timeline, statistical appendix, bibliography of print and electronic sources for further reading, and photographs enhance this biography.
Fujita was a member of the 2d Battalion, 131st Field Artillery, Texas National Guard. The 2d Battalion was sent to Java, Netherland East Indies, where it was captured intact by the Japanese when the Allied command surrendered there in March, 1942. Fewer than nine hundred Americans were taken prisoner on Java. The bulk of American POWs in Japanese hands surrendered in the Philippines, and most of the published POW memoirs reflect their experience. Fujita's account of the defense of Java and of the fate of the "Lost Battalion" of Texas artillerymen serves to distinguish his memoir from all the others.

In No Undocumented Child Left Behind, Michael A. Olivas tells a fascinating history of the landmark case, examining how, 30 years later, Plyler v. Doe continues to suffer from implementation issues and requires additional litigation and vigilance to enforce the ruling. He takes a comprehensive look at the legal regime it established regarding the education of undocumented school children, moves up through its implementation, including direct and indirect attacks on it, and closes with the ongoing, highly charged debates over the Development, Relief, and Education for Minors (DREAM) Act, which aims to give conditional citizenship to undocumented college students who graduated from US high schools and have been in the country for at least five years. Listen to Michael Olivas on WYPF 88.1 FM, as he takes a look back 30 years to the Supreme Court case that made it possible for undocumented children to enroll in public schools and the highly-charged political and legal battles that have ensued.
In Teaching Community bell hooks seeks to theorize from the place of the positive, looking at what works. Writing about struggles to end racism and white supremacy, she makes the useful point that "No one is born a racist. Everyone makes a choice." Teaching Community tells us how we can choose to end racism and create a beloved community. hooks looks at many issues-among them, spirituality in the classroom, white people looking to end racism, and erotic relationships between professors and students. Spirit, struggle, service, love, the ideals of shared knowledge and shared learning - these values motivate progressive social change.
Teachers of vision know that democratic education can never be confined to a classroom. Teaching - so often undervalued in our society -- can be a joyous and inclusive activity. bell hooks shows the way. "When teachers teach with love, combining care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust, we are often able to enter the classroom and go straight to the heart of the matter, which is knowing what to do on any given day to create the best climate for learning."
Drawing on a wide range of sources, Osama bin Laden finds the political and religious roots of a worldview that combines devout faith with a belief in violence and terrorism. The book pays particular attention to the spread of radical Islam from Egypt to Saudi Arabia and beyond, as well as the development of Al Qaeda and its current scope and capabilities.
Everyone edits what they say. It's a part of growing up. But what if we applied tell-it-like-it-is honesty to grown-up issues? In Impolite Conversations, two respected thinkers and writers openly discuss five "third-rail" topics—from multi-racial identities to celebrity worship to hyper-masculinity among black boys—and open the stage for honest discussions about important and timely concerns.
Organized around five subjects—Race, Politics, Sex, Money, Religion—the dialogue between Cora Daniels and John L. Jackson Jr. may surprise, provoke, affirm, or challenge you. In alternating essays, the writers use reporting, interviews, facts, and figures to back up their arguments, always staying firmly rooted in the real world. Sometimes they agree, sometimes they don't, but they always reach their conclusions with respect for the different backgrounds they come from and the reasons they disagree.
Whether you oppose or sympathize with these two impassioned voices, you'll end up knowing more than you did before and appreciating the candid, savvy, and often humorous ways in which they each take a stand.
Americans of Arab heritage have made major contributions to U.S. society, and this is a timely and unique overview of their immigration patterns, settlement, adaptation, and assimilation for a general audience. The first wave of Arab immigrants, mostly Christian men from Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria, arrived in the United States between 1880 and 1925. This book discusses their history plus looks at the successive waves of immigrants, including the post-1965 immigrants, who have brought more diversity to the Arab American community. The latest immigrants have included more Muslims and many are from Egypt, Iraq, and Jordan. The continuing interest in the Middle East, Islam, and Muslim way of life make this a must-have source to help understand current events and our multicultural society.
The book begins by giving a broad political and social history of the Arab world since the advent of Islam in 632 CE. Kayyali also takes care to be inclusive of the different groups who can be classified as Arab, and the discussion of who these people are, with their different religions and beliefs, is an enlightening base to understand their experiences as Arab Americans. Early immigrants typically became peddlers or worked in the new factories and mills. As they gave up thoughts of returning to their home countries, they fought to be classified as white to gain citizenship, and the impact of the Census on their struggle is discussed in detail. Their assimilation and adaptations are discussed, and readers will learn about family issues, women's issues, food, media, and religious practices in the Arab American communities. Within the larger Arab American community, the main issues of pan-Arab identification, Christian and Muslim identities, and generational differences are covered, along with their social networks and celebrations. A final chapter focuses on the impact of Arab Americans on U.S. society, from the arts to politics, with insight into intergroup relations and the impact of 9/11. A sampling of noted Arab Americans, such as Ralph Nader, a glossary, statistical tables, and photos are included as well.
Carter builds her intricate argument from detailed readings of an array of popular texts, focusing on how sex education for children and marital advice for adults provided significant venues for the dissemination of the new ideal of normality. She concludes that because its overt concerns were love, marriage, and babies, normality discourse facilitated white evasiveness about racial inequality. The ostensible focus of "normality" on matters of sexuality provided a superficially race-neutral conceptual structure that whites could and did use to evade engagement with the unequal relations of power that continue to shape American life today.
How do you measure someone's race or culture? Half this, quarter that, born here, raised there. What name do you give that? These eighteen essays, joined by a shared sense of duality, address both the difficulties of not fitting into and the benefits of being part of two worlds. Danzy Senna parodies the media's fascination with biracials in a futuristic piece about the mulatto millennium. Garrett Hongo writes about watching his mixed-race children play in a sea of blond hair and white faces, realizing that suburban Oregon might swallow up their unique racial identity. Francisco Goldman shares his frustration with having constantly to explain himself in terms of his Latino and Jewish roots. Malcolm Gladwell understands that being biracial frees him from racial discrimination but also holds him hostage to questions of racial difference. For Indira Ganesan, India and its memory are evoked by the aromas of foods.
Through the lens of personal experience, these essays offer a broader spectrum of meaning for race and culture. And in the process, they map a new ethnic terrain that transcends racial and cultural division.

Chinggis Khan was not only a military genius, but also a great statesman and diplomat. Through a combination of armed force and diplomacy, he managed to merge the complex system of alliances which existed between diverse tribes into a powerful confederacy that swept across most of Eurasia, starting in 1219.
Urgunge Onon's fresh translation brings out the excitement of this epic with its wide-ranging commentaries on military and social conditions, religion and philosophy, while remaining faithful to the original text. This fully annotated edition is prefaced by a 36 page introduction setting the work in its cultural and historical context.
This collaboration by a sociologist and a film critic, using the new perspective of critical "white studies," offers a bold and sweeping critique of almost a century's worth of American film, from Birth of Nation (1915) through Black Hawk Down (2001). Screen Saviors studies the way in which the social relations that we call "race" are fictionalized and pictured in the movies. It argues that films are part of broader projects that lead us to ignore or deny the nature of the racial divide in which Americans live. Even as the images of racial and ethnic minorities change across the twentieth century, Hollywood keeps portraying the ideal white American self as good-looking, powerful, brave, cordial, kind, firm, and generous: a natural-born leader worthy of the loyalty of those of another color.
The book invites readers to conduct their own analyses of films by showing how this can be done in over 50 Hollywood movies. Among these are some films about the Civil War—Birth of a Nation , Gone with the Wind, and Glory; some about white messiahs who rescue people of another color—Stargate, To Kill a Mockingbird, Mississippi Burning, Three Kings, and The Matrix; the three versions of Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, 1962, and 1984) and interracial romance—Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Forty years of Hollywood fantasies of interracial harmony, from The Defiant Ones and In the Heat of the Night through the Lethal Weapon series and Men in Black are examined.
This work in the sociology of knowledge and cultural studies relates the movies of Hollywood to the large political agendas on race relation in the United States. Screen Saviors appeals to the general reader interested in the movies or in race and ethnicity as well as to students of com
Hip Hop Underground examines the changing nature of race among young Americans, and examines the issues of ethnic and racial identification, interaction, and understanding. Critiquing the notion that the Bay Area underground music scene is genuinely "colorblind," Harrison focuses on the issue of race to show how various ethnic groups engage hip hop in remarkably divergent ways—as a means to both claim subcultural legitimacy and establish their racial authenticity.
This unique study focuses on what author Angela Jones terms black publics, groups of concerned citizens—men and women, alike—who met to shift public opinion. The book explores their pivotal role in initiating the civil rights movement, specifically examining secular organizations, intellectual circles, the secular black press, black honor societies and clubs, and prestigious educational networks. All of these, Jones convincingly demonstrates, were seminal to the development of civil rights protest in the early 20th century.
More recently, however, scholars have challenged this national myth, seeking to show that race relations are characterized by exclusion, not inclusion, and that fair-skinned Brazilians continue to be privileged and hold a disproportionate share of wealth and power.
In this sociological and demographic study, Edward Telles seeks to understand the reality of race in Brazil and how well it squares with these traditional and revisionist views of race relations. He shows that both schools have it partly right--that there is far more miscegenation in Brazil than in the United States--but that exclusion remains a serious problem. He blends his demographic analysis with ethnographic fieldwork, history, and political theory to try to "understand" the enigma of Brazilian race relations--how inclusiveness can coexist with exclusiveness.
The book also seeks to understand some of the political pathologies of buying too readily into unexamined ideas about race relations. In the end, Telles contends, the traditional myth that Brazil had harmonious race relations compared with the United States encouraged the government to do almost nothing to address its shortcomings.
Coming of Age in the Other America illuminates the profound effects of neighborhoods on impoverished families. The authors conducted in-depth interviews and fieldwork with 150 young adults, and found that those who had been able to move to better neighborhoods—either as part of the Moving to Opportunity program or by other means—achieved much higher rates of high school completion and college enrollment than their parents. About half the youth surveyed reported being motivated by an "identity project"—or a strong passion such as music, art, or a dream job—to finish school and build a career.
Yet the authors also found troubling evidence that some of the most promising young adults often fell short of their goals and remained mired in poverty. Factors such as neighborhood violence and family trauma put these youth on expedited paths to adulthood, forcing them to shorten or end their schooling and find jobs much earlier than their middle-class counterparts. Weak labor markets and subpar postsecondary educational institutions, including exploitative for-profit trade schools and under-funded community colleges, saddle some young adults with debt and trap them in low-wage jobs. A third of the youth surveyed—particularly those who had not developed identity projects—were neither employed nor in school. To address these barriers to success, the authors recommend initiatives that help transform poor neighborhoods and provide institutional support for the identity projects that motivate youth to stay in school. They propose increased regulation of for-profit schools and increased college resources for low-income high school students.
Coming of Age in the Other America presents a sensitive, nuanced account of how a generation of ambitious but underprivileged young Baltimoreans has struggled to succeed. It both challenges long-held myths about inner-city youth and shows how the process of "social reproduction"—where children end up stuck in the same place as their parents—is far from inevitable.
Through a series of personal journeys, each interwoven with scenes from Haiti's extraordinary past, Amy Wilentz brings to life this turbulent and fascinating country. Opening with her arrival just days before the fall of Haiti's President-for-Life, Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier, Wilentz captures a country electric with the expectation of change: markets that bustle by day explode with gunfire at night; outlaws control country roads; farmers struggle to survive in a barren land; and belief in voodoo and the spirits of the ancestors remains as strong as ever.
The Rainy Season demystifies Haiti—a country and a people in cruel and capricious times. From the rebel priest Father Aristide and the street boys under his protection to the military strongmen who pass through the revolving door of power into the gleaming white presidential palace—and the buzzing international press corps members who jet in for a coup and leave the minute it's over—Wilentz's Haiti haunts the imagination.
Armenian-Americans have been generally overlooked by census enumerators, survey analysts, and social scientists because of their small numbers and relative dispersion throughout the United States. They remain a little-studied group that has been called a "hidden minority." "Armenian Americans" fills this significant gap. Based on the results of an extensive mail questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, and participant observation of communal gatherings, this book analyzed the individual and collective struggles of Armenian-Americans to perpetuate their Armenian legacy while actively seeking new pathways to the American Dream.
This volume shows how men and women of Armenian descent become distanced from their ethnic origins with the passing of generations. Yet assimilation and maintenance of ethnic identity go hand-in-hand. The ascribed, unconscious, compulsive Armenianness of the immigrant generation is transformed into a voluntary, rational, situational Armenianness. The generational change is from "being" Armenian to "feeling" Armenian.
The Armenian-American community has grown and prospered in this century. Greater tolerance of ethnic differences in the host society, the remarkable social mobility of many Armenian-Americans and the influx of large numbers of new immigrants from the Middle East and Soviet bloc in recent decades have contributed to this development. The future of this community, however, remains precarious as it strives to adjust to the ever changing social, economic, and political conditions affecting Armenians in the United States; the diaspora; and the new republic of Armenia. "Armenian-Americans" will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists, and social historians, and of course to people of Armenian ancestry.
Anny Bakalian is professor of sociology at the College of Notre Dame of Maryland in Baltimore. This is her first book.
In a series of short, accessible, and enlightening essays, hooks explores the confounding and sometimes controversial topics that teachers and students have urged her to address since the publication of the previous best-selling volumes in her Teaching series, Teaching to Transgress and Teaching Community. The issues are varied and broad, from whether meaningful teaching can take place in a large classroom setting to confronting issues of self-esteem. One professor, for example, asked how black female professors can maintain positive authority in a classroom without being seen through the lens of negative racist, sexist stereotypes. One teacher asked how to handle tears in the classroom, while another wanted to know how to use humor as a tool for learning.
Addressing questions of race, gender, and class in this work, hooks discusses the complex balance that allows us to teach, value, and learn from works written by racist and sexist authors. Highlighting the importance of reading, she insists on the primacy of free speech, a democratic education of literacy. Throughout these essays, she celebrates the transformative power of critical thinking. This is provocative, powerful, and joyful intellectual work. It is a must read for anyone who is at all interested in education today.
This book lays out the two approaches to language policy -- linguistic assimilation and linguistic pluralism -- in clear and accessible terms. Filled with examples and narratives, it provides a readable overview of the U.S. "culture wars" and explains why the conflict has just now emerged as a major issue in the United States.
Professor Schmidt examines bilingual education in the public schools, "linguistic access" rights to public services, and the designation of English as the United States' "official" language. He illuminates the conflict by describing the comparative, theoretical, and social contexts for the debate. The source of the disagreement, he maintains, is not a disagreement over language per se but over identity and the consequences of identity for individuals, ethnic groups, and the country as a whole. Who are "the American people"? Are we one national group into which newcomers must assimilate? Or are we composed of many cultural communities, each of which is a unique but integral part of the national fabric? This fundamental point is what underlies the specific disputes over language policy. This way of looking at identity politics, as Professor Schmidt shows, calls into question the dichotomy between "material interest" politics and "symbolic" politics in relation to group identities.
Not limited to describing the nature and context of the language debate, Language Policy and Identity Politics in the United States reaches the conclusion that a policy of linguistic pluralism, coupled with an immigrant settlement policy and egalitarian economic reforms, will best meet the aims of justice and the common good. Only by attacking both the symbolic and material effects of racialization will the United States be able to attain the goals of social equality and national harmony.
In the literature, speeches, and academic and public behavior of some black intellectuals in the past quarter century, Baker identifies a "hungry generation" eager for power, respect, and money. Baker critiques his own impoverished childhood in the "Little Africa" section of Louisville, Kentucky, to understand the shaping of this new public figure. He also revisits classical sites of African American literary and historical criticism and critique. Baker devotes chapters to the writing and thought of such black academic superstars as Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson, and Henry Louis Gates Jr.; Hoover Institution senior fellow Shelby Steele; Yale law professor Stephen Carter; and Manhattan Institute fellow John McWhorter. His provocative investigation into their disingenuous posturing exposes what Baker deems a tragic betrayal of King's legacy.
Baker concludes with a discussion of American myth and the role of the U.S. prison-industrial complex in the "disappearing" of blacks. Baker claims King would have criticized these black intellectuals for not persistently raising their voices against a private prison system that incarcerates so many men and women of color. To remedy this situation, Baker urges black intellectuals to forge both sacred and secular connections with local communities and rededicate themselves to social responsibility. As he sees it, the mission of the black intellectual today is not to do great things but to do specific, racially based work that is in the interest of the black majority.
Following a timeline of historical events, the narrative begins with a discussion of geography, government, and population. In successive chapters the chronological narrative covers China's early history, pre-imperial China, early imperial China, middle and late imperial China, the tumultuous 19th century, revolution and republic, the creation of the People's Republic to Mao's death, Deng's China, and China in the 1990s. The work closes with a discussion of China's challenges in the 21st century-overpopulation, a graying population, and economic development. Brief biographical sketches of notable people in the history of China, a chronological list of Chinese dynasties, a glossary, and a bibliographic essay of recommended books for further reading add reference value to the history.
In Race and Ethnicity in Latin American History, Vincent Peloso traces the story of ethnicity and race in Latin America from the sixteenth century to the contemporary period. In a short, synthetic narrative, he lays the groundwork for students to understand how the history of colonial racism is connected to the problems of racism in today's Latin American societies. With features including timelines, plentiful maps and illustrations, and boxes highlighting important historical figures, the text provides a clear and accessible introduction to the complex subject of race and ethnicity in the history of Latin America.

Summer Fruit Crumble Recipes
Plum Crumble Recipe (Oatmeal Crisp)
Fruit crumble is my go-to recipe whenever I want to make an eggless dessert. The preparation is quite easy; it consists of mixing flour, sugar and cold butter into crumbs. To add more body to this version of the crumble, I adjusted the quantities and blended oatmeal into the mixture.
As for the fruit, I used black plums. Unfortunately, we already harvested all the plums from the garden a few weeks ago for the hazelnut plum pie. Luckily, I was able to find the same kind of plums at the farmers' market that were just as delicious. I peeled the plums, seared them in butter and sugar and finished them with a dust of flour. The fruit was then covered with the crumble mixture and baked until golden and crisp.

As the New Year swiftly approaches, it's time to write those resolutions. From exercising more, eating fewer snacks, or remembering to call your mother on her birthday, we all think of various ways we can improve our lives, by starting good habits or ending bad ones. I'd like to suggest some resolutions that will assist you in your pursuit of free software.
Contribute to a free software project
Support comes in many forms; while monetary donations are always welcome, constructive feedback in the form of comments or bug reports help make a project improve. If you like or dislike a particular feature, tell the developers! Many projects utilize testimonials when marketing their services. It's also a confidence booster for the people toiling innumerable hours to know that someone supports their efforts; behind every great product is a team of people.
Help spread the word about a particular product or service that you enjoy
If you find a solution that works for you, then by all means tell others about it. An email to friends or family, starting a forum discussion, or even a few kind words in passing can improve another user's experience. If you don't talk about it, nobody will know about it; even if you've found a gem, it'll get buried and lost in the ever evolving landscape of choice.
Donate to a non-profit legal organization
Good recipients include the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), who work to preserve online rights, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who defends and preserves the individual rights and liberties of individuals, or another equivalent non-profit organization that supports freedom of expression. It's important to protect your ability to express yourself and to be able to freely choose between alternatives, and with your support, these non-profit organizations will be able to continue the struggle to maintain your electronic freedom.
Try to replace at least one commercial product you use with a free alternative once a month
Just because something comes in a shiny box or has a slick marketing campaign doesn't mean it's automatically superior, but just because it's free doesn't mean it's any better. Take the time to evaluate alternatives to develop an informed decision, and you'll improve your quality of life and work. When making changes, it's easier to make a gradual transition rather than just pulling the tablecloth out and expecting the glassware to stay intact.
When talking to others about free software, remember not to be too pushy
There's nothing more obnoxious than unwanted and arrogant advice; if you're openly hostile or sneering in a discussion, you'll invalidate your argument regardless of whether you're right. As hard as it may be, don't preach; educate instead. Think of that know-it-all who hovered over your shoulder, scoffing at your obviously inferior choices. Do you want to be that guy? Didn't think so.
In the end...
If you adopt even one of these resolutions, I'm sure you'll be happy with the result. It'll definitely be easier on your conscience than making a promise that you know you'll cast aside in a week or two, like running a mile a day regardless of rain, sleet or snow. I wish you and yours the very best in the years to come!

'Twas the night before Fiscal Cliff, and throughout the land,
Democrats, Republicans were taking a stand.
Their positions unwavering, intractably firm,
With donkey-like stubbornness or entrenched pachyderm.
But the public were hopeful all snug in their beds,
With visions of compromise alive in their heads.
"Come on!" said the people in frustrated dismay.
"Abandon this meaningless partisan fray."
When Obama and Boehner finally met,
Their first thoughts were not of a country in debt.
And Obama, the chief, said to Boehner "Oh crap!
I'd rather depart for a nice winter's nap."
"I know," sighed Boehner "I've plenty to do,
Was planning to take a vacation or two."
"Never mind," said the Prez, "we'll just keep delaying,
Who cares what the grumbling public are saying."
But out in the blogosphere there arose such a clatter,
The people revolted, resolving this matter:
"There's only one way to deal with such fools
Obama and Boehner must settle by duel."
"No way!" said Obama, "I'm renowned for my peace.
"With a medal of proof on my lounge mantlepiece."
"I agree" cried Boehner, not eager to battle,
And caught the first plane heading out to Seattle.
"Come back," yelled the people, "we demand this by right,
You've had chances to talk, now you settle this fight."
But the pair, reunited, were far from impressed,
As the thought of a duel made them rather depressed.
As he pondered alternative White House residents,
Obama now saw why we have the vice presidents.
Quick thinking, as always, to Biden he beckoned,
"Get over here Joe, and I'll make you my second."
"Now Joe I expect you'll appear around dawn,
To face off with Boehner on the White House's lawn."
"Yeah right!" smiled old Joe, "Would love to assist,
I ain't packing no pistol � what if I missed?"
And then, in a twinkling, Obama's next step,
Was to call up more buddies, to be his next rep.
"Now Pelosi! Now Clinton! Now Durbin and Reid!
But all vanished from Washington with notable speed.
"Oh dear," mused Obama, "now what shall I do?"
So he phoned up Boehner for a quick rendezvous.
"My friend, we are beaten, let's abandon aggression."
"Agreed," said the Speaker, "it's time for concession."
So they sprang into action, both recommending,
Adding some taxes and cutting some spending.
Then I heard them exclaim, "We've reached a consensus!
Good-bye Fiscal Cliff, we've come to our senses."

I understand that. But what specific cause in Burma was responsible? People who follow peaceful teaching, and perhaps even bliss out in meditation, don't simply lash out on the neighbor for no reason. What is the motif? To tarnish image of Buddhism?LonesomeYogurt wrote:Greed, hatred, and delusion.Alex123 wrote:But... What would motivate Buddhist (monks or laity) to do all those alleged things?
Other than newspaper articles, how do we know that Buddhists did that? This demands investigation.
Of course monks should NOT be involved in politics, that is an ideal case. But what if they are being forcefully involved (if they are even involved)?
Correct. So why would those Buddhists risk it and risk loosing the status of "peaceful" religion?LonesomeYogurt wrote:A materially or politically comfortable live earned with violence is a shaky refuge indeed.

Accepting the Hollywood challenge
By Nancy Ridgeway
August 8, 2013
Days after walking across the stage in his cap and gown, Bradley graduate Bill Bowden packed his car and headed west to pursue his dream of a career in film and television production. Ten years later, he is an Emmy nominee for his work on the popular CBS reality television show "Survivor."
Bowden, who has been with "Survivor" for 16 seasons, was nominated along with five fellow editors for outstanding picture editing for reality programming. The nomination is for their work in "Zipping Over the Cuckoo's Nest," the tenth episode in season 26, "Survivor: Caramoan—Fans vs. Favorites."
"This episode got a lot of audience feedback. Sometimes everything falls into place because of conflicts and connections made, and in this episode, all the elements came together. There were many twists and turns that don't typically happen on 'Survivor,' and it all came to a head. One of the villain characters who had been running the show was voted off," Bowden said.
Bowden's primary role is to edit the challenge segments for each episode. The challenges are tasks that test contestants' endurance and physical abilities. Winners gain immunity from being voted off by their peers.
Discussing his role, Bowden said, "Editors are responsible for the look and pace of the show. The challenges can take anywhere from 10 minutes to eight hours to complete. Our job is to go through the footage and pull out all the best parts.
"I have to make each week's challenge fit, make it compelling, have it make sense and draw the most emotion," he says, adding he also chooses the accompanying music. "The main component is storytelling. You tell it the best way you can to captivate the audience."
Bowden also has been a producer for the last three years. He goes on location during the summer as the show is being taped, then returns to Hollywood to edit the footage. "It's very rare to find a year-round gig in L.A, but that's what 'Survivor' has become for me," Bowden said.
"My main job as a producer is to track any and all stories whether they seem relevant or not. Someone sneezing on another person the first day may come up again on day 10. You don't know what's going to happen and whether it will have repercussions. That's why the cameras are always rolling."
The crew often works day and night in the same conditions as the contestants, sometimes working 50-hour shifts. "We can't eat or chew gum in front of them because that would be torture. I lose as much weight as the contestants do."
Looking back to his Bradley days, Bowden said, "I knew at a young age that I wanted to work in television or film. My sister went to Bradley and sold me on it. The GCC (Caterpillar Global Communications Center) with all of its technology was fairly new. Working with the professors at Bradley reinforced that I wanted to work in this field."
The January interim Hollywood Expedition course led by Dr. Bob Jacobs, director of Bradley's John C. Hench Production Art Studios, was instrumental in helping Bowden gain the confidence to make the move to L.A. Jacobs took students to a variety of production houses where they were introduced to a spectrum of career opportunities and people in the industry.
"Meeting people who were willing to talk to me and answer questions made me feel more at ease about moving 2,500 miles away to a city I didn't know very well," Bowden said.
He offers advice to students aspiring to a career in the industry. "The first and hardest step is to move to L.A. Rarely would somebody offer you a job if you aren't already here. You have to bite the bullet, come out and the work will come. There's plenty of work here. You just have to leave everybody behind and pursue your dream."
Bowden was a production assistant on several projects before landing a job on "Restaurant," his first job with Mark Burnett Productions. After that, he worked on several other Mark Burnett shows, including "Casino" on Fox, "Contender" and "Martha Stewart Apprentice" on NBC and "Rock Star: Supernova" on CBS. He took a temporary position with "Survivor" and has been working his way up the ladder ever since.
Eventually, he hopes to become an executive producer and ultimately the head creative mind for a series or show. "I have a lot of steps between here and there," Bowden said.
An Emmy nomination is one more step. The Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be presented Sunday, September 15.

Re: Close the Output Window
When I run a command such as the viEmu output window comes up, but doesn't close when I press ESC. Pressing ESC makes the cursor jump back to the main window, but it doesn't close the viEmu output window in the process. Is there a command, or maybe a key mapping I can make to close the viEmu output window?

We're a marketing consultancy and create compelling AND authentic marketing campaigns. Our toolkit includes web (interactive, video), social and broadcast media, print, and direct mail.
Clients who love us and prospects who will. We prefer working with owner-operator clients, but will go bigger when it makes sense. Our active categories have included: automotive retail, home after-market materials and services, lawn & garden, general retail, and business-to-business.
I'm looking for a mark. Something to provide visual ID to everything we do. It's possible it might take a logo and a derivative mark. That works for us. The voice is confident and creative; rich in wisdom, but daring. We are NOT sleek and modern looking. Nor are we web-centric. It's all about creating a message and using the appropriate tools.
Applications for the logo (and mark if it make sense): letterhead, online, video, collateral. It needs to look good big. It also needs to read well when small (such as when used as a lower-third bug in video). That means it needs video and web-safe colors. (We'll need RGB and CMYK versions)
Prefer warm colors evoking a storied past and an ever-unfolding future. Think old charts and compasses. Think leather-bound books. Authentic. Trustworthy. Timeless.
Do NOT think decorative fonts, embossed or extruded type. Avoid overly complicated logos/marks that won't reduce well. Sometimes we'll use it tiny; other times will be will the side of a building. Really.
Deliverables of selected design will need to be delivered in both RGB and CMYK, jpeg, tiff, and gif formats.

In the current video card market, all eyes are on the Radeon HD 7000 series and the GeForce GTX 600 series. They are the latest and greatest series of GPUs from AMD and nVidia respectively. And they both have great offerings with the high end Radeon HD 7970 and the GeForce GTX 680. Right now, AMD has offerings from the Radeon HD 7000 series that extend from low to high price points, and the same thing will happen with nVidia in the near future. Now that new generations of GPUs have been released, it's out with the old.
During this time of transition between generations, there is a sweet spot in the mainstream video card market at around the $150 price point ...and it features cards based on the Radeon HD 6870 and the GeForce GTX 560. While I haven't reviewed AMD's current flagship mainstream offering, the Radeon HD 7770, I've been keeping track of articles and reviews on the websites of our colleagues. What I've generally found is that the 7770 is consistently slower than both the 6870 and GTX 560, and it's also a bit more expensive.
From the standpoint of a value oriented consumer, I bought specimens based on AMD's Radeon HD 6870 and nVidia's GeForce GTX 560. With the 6870, I bought a video card manufacturered by XFX. With the GTX 560, I bought a video card manufactured by Zotac. Both offerings were $150 based on sales, mail-in rebates, and before sales tax. There is nothing fancy about either card, as both are no frills packages and are not factory overclocked. Keep in mind that with either the 6870 and GTX 560 from many other manufacturers are currently available at the $150 price point, it's not just the XFX and Zotac cards I purchased.
As these GPUs are relatively old technology, especially true when we're talking about gaming hardware, there is no need to reiterate technical details. There are many launch reviews you can take a look at for that. What I'll do instead is just give you readers a quick look at the cards themselves, then review the performance they offer.
Zotac's base GTX 560 based video card is pretty long at a little over 9.5", and at first glance it looks more like a higher end nVidia reference card with it's shroud and blower. The PCB and shroud are both black, and the card looks good. The GPU, shader and memory clocks are close to stock at 820MHz (810MHz stock), 4000MHz (QDR) and 1640MHz (1620MHz stock), respectively.
Two PCIe 6-pin power connectors are on the side of the video card, which is a good design trait for a longer card like this. Zotac's logo is oddly upside down based on the typical video card orientation of most cases.
The expansion card backplate contains a good variety of outputs: 2x DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort. A DVI to VGA adapter is also included in the package. The little grill is an exhaust vent for the blower based cooler.

Tomas17 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 296 designs submitted by 55 freelance designers.
flexReceipts is a startup web based company founded to eliminate thermal receipts and make digital receipts commonplace around the world. Today thermal (paper) receipts are distributed after every purchase. Most consumers don't even demand these receipts and likely immediately throw them away; creating huge inefficiencies and waste.
We will provide merchants a solution to deliver electronic receipts and consumers the ability to manage their receipts from one central website. Now, when a consumer has a need for a receipt they can go online and access it at their own comfort. This makes life easier when managing exchanges, returns, disputes, tax filings, business travel, personal finances, and more.
By going to digital receipts we will be saving many trees, and resources that go into making receipts (water and oil). Also, we will be helping the environment as paper receipts are not recyclable.
Initially, we feel like the consumers most likely to utilize this service will be younger (predominantly young professionals, college students), highly educated, receptive to green movements, they care about the environment, & technology savvy.
We are looking for a logo to represent our new startup company – flexReceipts.com.
1. Feel/Words that describe the logo: SLEEK, clean, crisp, CREATIVE, forward thinking, trendy, innovative, potentially tecky (if it can be done in a professional way), & play on the "GREEN" (eco friendly) movement.
2. Potential Colors Include: Green, Blue, Black, Red (& eco friendly tones). Please do not include too many colors.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out and is easy to read.
4. The logo should not be: too simple it looks plain, too futuristic, or cartoony.
5. The main priority of the logo is to have the words "flexReceipts" incorporated within the logo. A secondary abstract image (like the nike "swoosh") is welcomed as a secondary priority.
Here are examples of logos that we like:
The files we will require are: EPS, JPEG
Please feel free to visit our founding company's website for more details: http://www.omniversegroup.com

The Man With the Iron Fists: if it were better, it'd be a kind of steampunk Kung-Fu Hustle or a more martial-arts oriented (haha) Kill Bill. It's not awful, but it's not great. It's just kind of stupid. A pale imitation of better movies.

Canadian artist Tonya Corkey creates portraits made out of lint on canvas. Through her choice of material and subject, the artist looks to investigate an unavoidable aspect of human nature- precisely, the the need to collect memories and reconstruct the past. The series, "See You In the Future," looks to further analyze this desire to recollect objects and moments of the past through a medium that encompasses the essence of loss and decay over time.
My work hybridizes the discarded material of lint with the second hand image – the iconic school photograph – to conceptualize my interests. Materiality conceptually layers the work. As a byproduct of society, lint consists of fibers, hair, dead skin and other debris, and thus directly referencing people and their daily activity. Lint and cast off photographs are both discarded materials – materials that reflect the idea of a decaying memory. Our desire for memory in absence is triggered by sensations of smell and touch, a trait of my work.

Responding to Hierararchal Contact - Editorial
Perhaps it's inevitable that the glamourous reactions to the Hierarchy are especially noticeable today, for we are living with two powerful sources of increased stimulation: the closer approach of members of the Hierarchy as the process of externalisation proceeds, and the increasing inflow of Shamballa energy as a result of the "Shamballa impacts" of the past century.
The Great Approaches (The Coming New Religion) - Part V - Djwhal Khul
The Great Invocation and the Zodiac-A Continuing Discussion - Martin Vieweg
As we match the lines of the Invocation, line by line, with the triangles of crisis and zodiacal triplicities that govern the unfoldment of human beings "upon the final stages of the Way", we can take heart that the secrets of evolution can be known little by little as the intuition awakens within us.
The Pure River that Flows from the Throne of God - Zachary F. Lansdowne
How can we become part of the "pure river of water of life"? Bailey says, "Only through love can Love be revealed." In other words, by expressing love in our lives, we become part of the pure river of love that flows from the Heart of God. If we do not express love, then we are cut off from that river. It is entirely our choice. But what exactly, do we need to do to be part of that river?
The Approaching Hierarchy - Foster Bailey
Our little human motives and objectives are transient, lasting at best but a few years; those of Hierarchy are age-old and well sustained, and the potency of their work is in direct proportion to the constantly accumulating momentum of spiritual power which they thus generate. The factor of spiritual momentum is the most powerful of all the operating forces which they wield and it is the achieving of this momentum which is the guarantee of the ultimate success of their undertakings.
Visualisation as a Creative Approach to the Transference of Consciousness - A Student
Through the use of a seed or given stimuli, we allow the creative imagination to unfold and begin a journey of discovery, not so much to create something new but to access that which has been concealed.
From Darkness to Light - A Student
As silent as darkness itself, we work in darkness and yet we work with light, as though we act as lightbearers, embodying the light which is projected into the darkness like a great searchlight or laser beam which illumines and lifts it for others and leads to greater understanding of and identification with humanity.
On Care-Giving and Relinquishment - Kurt Swanson
The task of disentangling ourselves from our own little world of problems so that we can turn to the needs of others does require changing powerful habits, patterns, and characteristics that have gathered great momentum through the years. But this work is the work of Christ, for his work is the work of redemption, or the "making better" of that which suffers.

SAN DIEGOMarch 06, 2019
Please check the session(s) that you would like to attend:
Your registration will be confirmed.
Antibody Modeling and Protein Engineering in MOEThe course covers approaches for structure-based antibody design and includes protein-protein interactions analysis, in silico protein engineering, affinity modeling and antibody homology modeling. The interaction of a co-crystallized antibody-antigen complex will be studied by generating and examining the molecular surfaces and visualizing protein-protein interactions in 3D and 2D. Antibody properties will be evaluated using specialized calculated protein property descriptors and analyzing protein patches. The application of protein engineering tools for homology modeling and conducting property optimization of antibodies in the context of developability will be studied. Antibody optimization examples will include identification of glycosylation sites and analysis of correlated pairs using a specialized antibody database. An approach for humanizing antibody homology models will be discussed. All the steps necessary for producing and assessing antibody homology models will be described.
Biologics: Protein Alignments, Modeling and DockingThe course covers methods for aligning protein sequences, superposing structures, homology modeling fusion proteins and conducting protein-protein docking. In particular, an approach for aligning and superposing multiple structures will be described for determining structural and surface protein variations in relation to protein property modulation. A method for grafting and refining antibody CDR loops as well as using a knowledge-based approach to scFv fusion protein modeling using the MOE linker application will be described. An approach to generate homology models of a murine antigen structure from a human template as well as protein-protein docking of an antibody to an antigen will be discussed. A QSAR model for predicting and analyzing protein/biologics solubility will be described.

If you have any interest in things like gay bullying and the seamless interlocking of modern conservative politics and homosexual fear-mongering, you owe it to yourself to read the Rolling Stone piece, "One Town's War on Gay Teens". It's the, well, embarrassing tale of how conservative religious zealots up in the Anoka-Hennepin school district created and inflamed a climate that may — may — have contributed to bullying that resulted in the suicides of nine teenagers, a rate far, far beyond the national norm.
Now, I realize that judging by traffic flow, deep-inside media stories hold very little interest to the public, and even less if the story means having read a daily paper opinion page piece. But bear with me, or move on. Your choice.
The 7000-word Rolling Stone story is both vivid, detailed and unsparing in making the connection between the likes of Michele Bachmann and the atmosphere of intense intolerance in the north metro area. It is also wholly unlike anything written, or produced, by any major media outlet in the Twin Cities — Star Tribune, Pioneer Press or Minnesota Public Radio — all of whom are fully aware of both the appalling suicide rate and the fervor of anti-gay rhetoric stoked by religious conservatives.
My MinnPost colleague, David Brauer, appears to be aware of this curious under-reporting of so highly provocative a case of cause-and-effect. A couple of days ago, he took Star Tribune opinion page writer Lori Sturdevant to task for a column she wrote tut-tutting Rolling Stone for what she regarded as a hyperbolic presentation of the story of Anoke-Hennepin's problem, specifically the way it connected Bachmann's political strategy with the anti-gay fervor … and tragic consequences.
I encourage you to read David's piece, "Rolling Stone didn't slime Michele Bachmann." He treads into a pet/obsessive fascination of mine, namely the clear editorial choice made by standard-bearers of journalistic truth-telling and context-providing in this major media market. To be more specific: The very curious way the Star Tribune, the Pioneer Press and MPR have restrained their coverage of Bachmann, in particular, and the volatile, potent and routinely factually inaccurate movement inspired by her kind.
My duties at MinnPost involve aggregating stories from near and far with an impact on Minnesota. When Bachmann was in the GOP presidential hunt there was a regular torrent of reporting and commentary on her daily/hourly accusations, misstatements, flagrant falsehoods and, what else can you call them but outright lies.
The striking thing to me, as I surfed hither and yon, was how little of Bachmann's manifest recklessness with the truth made its way in to the print (or on-air) version of any of our three primary serious news entities. To its (modest) credit the Strib did run more of Bachmann's absurdities in its "Hot Dish Politics" blog than the other two did anywhere. But, if I had to apply a percentage, our three local journalism mainstays reported no more than 30%-40% of what Bachmann — a presidential candidate and easily the highest profile politician in the state — was saying in a given news cycle.
More to the point in the context of the Rolling Stone piece, the influence of Bachmann, and other hyper-conservative political characters on events in Anoka-Hennepin, was reported only flatly. There was no drawing of any overt lines of causation, and no story approached the depth of reporting Rolling Stone put into the piece. Put another way, our local journalistic icons, treated the over-heated Anoka-Hennepin culture war milieu with studied dispassion and no evident desire to lay out a full and complete context for their readers/listeners.
My suspicion/accusation has long been that the local news media have each separately made an economic calculation that regular and full reporting Bachmann's misrepresentations, activities, alliances and influences becomes counter-productive after the point of perfunctory diligence. Translation: To have aggressively covered her — did I mention, a presidential candidate and the state politician with the highest profile on the national stage? — would be to risk blowback from her intensely contentious supporters, open themselves to invigorated charges of "liberal bias" and possibly/likely suffer advertising/underwriting blowback.
My attitude has always been that Bachmann was/is a disgrace to the concept of public service; that her's is a stunningly self-serving act fired by her willingness to recklessly disregard even a minimal respect for truth, accuracy and fairness … three qualities on which serious news organizations pride and market themselves. By her contempt for those qualities and her surge into the national limelight it seemed to me she merited/required both 24/7 attention from her hometown media AND regular reminders that she was practicing a form of reckless rabble-rousing that didn't entitle her to serious coverage.
That last part is me, largely as blogger. But all three of the news organizations I mentioned have "silos" for analysis and commentary where they could have laid out in far greater depth than they didthe roots of Bachmann's candidacy and her influence with so potent a sub-set of today's electorate. But, largely, they passed on that opportunity.
Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker wrote the definitive Bachmann profile, Karl Bremer at "Ripple in Stillwater", Bill Prendergast and the rest at The Minnesota Progressive Project delivered the best day-to-day coverage and Rolling Stone laid out the most complete portrait of the pernicious effects of her rhetoric and influence.
Put bluntly, there's no excuse for that kind of coverage not appearing in journalism entities truly committed to reporting without fear or favor.

Hello CrashForum.info members,
Since 2011, the CrashForum has significantly grown in size and popularity to the point now that there are more members here than other similar email groups on line. Over the past few years, we have grown to over 1500 members who have contributed on over 2000 separate posts. This makes us the largest and fastest growing online community for crash reconstructionists ever.
Due to the increased demand and popularity, we have decided to a complete site redesign. Our current new "look" is more modern and functional than our previous design. Additionally, we have implemented a more mobile friendly version of the CrashForum which you should be able to access with your smartphone or tablet.
The most important part is that you, as a CrashForum user, will not have to do anything to take advantage of the changes. All of your settings and user information has been retained and the overall functionality of the site has not changed. Feel free to explore the new design of the CrashForum and please feel free to message the site administrators if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for being a part of the CrashForum community.

I have always liked Thanksgiving, ever since I was a kid. When we first moved to the U.S. and I got a 4-day weekend for the holiday, I thought that was the best thing. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, on that Saturday night, "wow! I've been out of school for three days already and there is a whole other day off left- this holiday rules!" I have a lot of traditions that I maintain for Thanksgiving, some old, and some new. In this post, I want to share some of these traditions with you.
The first is Buy Nothing Day, brought to you by the fine folks at Adbusters. Basically, this event, now in its 15th year, is a way to give the tradition of "Black Friday" a big fat finger. I don't know about you, but the increasing media attention paid every year to throngs of people rushing to the shops the day after Thanksgiving gives me the serious creeps. When did we become lemmings, completely internalizing the idea that we have to wake up early and hit the shops on this day?
And when you think about it, one of the biggest aspects of veganism is a rejection of overconsumption. It's not good to eat without a thought to the impact of your food on the environment, just like it's not good to buy, without a thought to the impact of commercialization and just plain stuff on our mental and physical environment.
What if the corporations threw this pathetic party and nobody went? What if we all decided that the Friday after Thanksgiving was a day for relaxing? exercising? spending time with friends or loved ones? volunteering? doing schoolwork? meditating? participating in activism? making art? knitting? organizing? grooming our pets? making out? raking leaves? sleeping? fixing our bikes? winter-proofing our homes? backing up our files? mending our socks? planting bulbs? writing letters? calling old friends? giving someone a hand? cutting up credit cards?
Daiku and I have been participating in Buy Nothing Day for longer than I can remember- at least 6 or 7 years. I can honestly say that I haven't bought anything on the Friday after Thanksgiving - not a pack of gum, not a piece of fruit, not a used book on Amazon.com - nor have I gone window-shopping - physically or on-line - in all this time, and it rocks! When you don't participate in an event, you get a really good vantage point from which to observe it, and frankly see the insanity in the whole thing. So, check out the BND and Adbusters websites, see if there's an organized event taking place near you to celebrate this event. Find something fun to do this Friday, something that doesn't involve consumption - of anything except Thanksgiving leftovers.
Ahem. So allow me to climb onto my soapbox for just a moment... Brothers and sisters unite! You have nothing to lose but your tired feet from rushing mall-goers stepping on your toes, and your credit card debts! Are you with me?? Buy nothing this Friday!
The second tradition is the idea of adopting a turkey from Farm Sanctuary instead of eating one. As many of you know, we adopted Whisper last Thanksgiving (we got word the day before the holiday that the adoption had gone through!), and were lucky enough to get to visit her this past summer. She is gorgeous, and our dinner table on Thursday won't be complete without her photo. You can go to http://www.adoptaturkey.org/adopt.htm to find out more about adopting a turkey yourself - it only costs $20! It is such a life-affirming, satisfying thing to do, and much like Buy Nothing Day, it is a great way to just say no to an unappealing aspect of the holiday. (By the way, you can adopt animals all year along, costs vary from $10/month for chickens and $15/month for turkeys, all the way up to over $100/month for a larger animal like a sheep or a cow - look into it if you have been looking for a good charitable cause!)
The final tradition, one that we started seriously paying attention to last year, was the idea of a local Thanksgiving Feast. As some of you might remember, I participated in Treehugger.com's 100-mile Thanksgiving Contest - and won! How cool that a vegan meal placed first, right? But even better was learning how easy it is to discover wonderful sources of food right in my own backyard- I still get food from some of the same producers and farmers that I discovered in designing a 100-mile Thanksgiving meal last year. This year, as you plan your meal, pay close attention to where your ingredients are coming from, and try to be as local and seasonal as you can- your food will taste more delicious that way, anyway!
Here's our local Thanksgiving entry to Treehugger.com last year
Here's last year's Thanksgiving meal post
And here's our other Thanksgiving meal from last year
Here's the post about adopting Whisper
Here's last year's Buy Nothing Day post
I'll post our Thanksgiving Menu tomorrow. Wow- we're VeganMoFo-ing right along! I've never posted this many times in a month- and there's a way to go! I don't even know if anyone will be reading blogs on Thanksgiving, but I will post and we will see!

Here's Why Kids Aren't Watching Baseball
Through the first five games of this year World Series, Fox averaged more than 14 million viewers, 12% above last year. There's one problem: Kids weren't watching because too many of them have found something else to do.

Mayor Don Wesely said today that 4,000 mercury thermometers have been collected during the first two weeks of April as part of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department's drive to eliminate environmental hazards from homes.
"The success of this effort is due to our partnership with local pharmacies, who are to be commended for their participation," said Mayor Wesely. "Working together, we have collected mercury thermometers that might have broken and presented children and adults in the home, child care or school with a serious environmental health risk."
Through the Mercury Collection and Exchange Program, each participating pharmacy gave a free digital thermometer to the first 40 families who brought in their mercury thermometers.
"The 2,000 digital thermometers we purchased to use in the exchange were gone so quickly it amazed all of us," said Health Department Grant Coordinator Beth Mann, who had the idea for the program. "It really pointed out the fact that many mercury thermometers are still in homes."
Local pharmacies will continue to collect mercury thermometers until the end of the month. Unbroken thermometers should be contained in a re-closable plastic bag, such as a zip-lock bag.
The mercury thermometer collection is part of the Mayor's Children's Health Initiative. Funding was provided by the Health Department's Children's Environmental Health Protection Initiative grant through the Nebraska Health Care Cash Fund. Education and awareness programs for the three-year grant will target parents, teachers, child care providers, nurses, physicians and other health professionals.
"Children are at greater health risk than adults to environmental hazards," said Scott Holmes, Chief of the Department's Environmental Health Division. "Despite great strides in environmental health over the years, there is still much work to do to protect our children from illnesses that can lead to life-threatening conditions."

Another night, another lost lead for D-backs
PHOENIX -- The D-backs had held the lead for six innings going into the top of the seventh on Tuesday night, but eight batters, an ejection and a grand slam later, they were faced with what proved to be an insurmountable deficit.
The Brewers took their second straight game from the D-backs, 7-5, at Chase Field thanks to a five-run rally in that seventh frame.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- The D-backs had held the lead for six innings going into the top of the seventh on Tuesday night, but eight batters, an ejection and a grand slam later, they were faced with what proved to be an insurmountable deficit.
The Brewers took their second straight game from the D-backs, 7-5, at Chase Field thanks to a five-run rally in that seventh frame.View Full Game Coverage
"They beat us again, and that's disappointing," manager Kirk Gibson said.
The biggest threat in the Brewers' lineup was catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who entered the game batting .380 over the previous 14 days. Lucroy hit a solo home run in the sixth inning off starter Mike Bolsinger, bringing the Brewers within two.
He did even more damage in the next inning.
The Brewers cut the lead to one run after shortstop Jean Segura led off the seventh with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly, ending Bolsinger's night. Gibson then brought in reliever Evan Marshall, who gave up a single and a double before hitting Ryan Braun with a fastball and being ejected immediately after.
The D-backs and Braun have a history together. Braun led the 2011 Brewers past the D-backs in the National League Division Series, hitting .500 in the five-game series, but soon after, it was revealed that he'd tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs. His appeal was successful, but in 2013 he was suspended for his connection to the Biogenesis clinic.
Gibson was vocal following that suspension, saying that "cheaters" such as Braun take chances from players who play earnestly.
"I wish him the best," Braun said. "I hope he finds peace and happiness in his life and is able to enjoy his life.
"We know the way the game works," he added. "I wasn't surprised I got hit; I was surprised I got hit in that situation and circumstances, with the go-ahead run at second base and the tying run at third base, and they were ahead. I was a little surprised by that. But we hit a couple of their guys -- it wasn't intentional, but that's the way the game works sometimes."
Said Marshall: "From no warnings to ejection, it's the umpire's discretion, so he thought it needed to happen. They're trained in how to handle that matter, so we were just trying to get in on the guy. That's it."
The next batter, Lucroy, took the first pitch from new pitcher Brad Ziegler and launched it into the center-field concourse for his third career grand slam and second homer of the game.
"It felt good. It's just one of those things that worked out for us," Lucroy said. "He gave me a pitch down the middle, elevated in the zone, and I was able to put a good swing on it. … I was able to hit the ball hard, so it worked out for us. It went our way."
For the second straight night, the relievers could not hold the lead their starter gave them. A series-opening defeat and an injury to veteran Bronson Arroyo led to reliever Will Harris, who took the loss on Monday, being sent to Triple-A Reno, but the same isn't likely to happen to Marshall, who was tagged with the loss as well as the ejection.
Tuesday's outing was unusual for Marshall, who entered the game with a 1.96 ERA in 17 outings.
Lost in the late-game lead change was Bolsinger's night. Just a day after being on Reno's roster, he threw 6 1/3 innings, giving up a pair of solo home runs to Lucroy and third baseman Aramis Ramirez but otherwise pitched well.
"The biggest part today was not hanging that breaking ball," Bolsinger said. "I was locating the fastball and keeping the curveball in the dirt.
"If you give up a home run, might as well give up a solo shot. But that's what happens when you hang a ball, especially to a team like that."

Highland shows its sting, tops Blackwell
HIGHLAND — Facing its in-county six-man rival, Highland cruised to its fifth straight victory on Friday as the hosting Hornets beat the visiting Hornets from Blackwell by a final score of 54-22.Highland (5-2) ripped off seven straight touchdowns and scored the last 42 points of the first half to take con-trol after Blackwell's Jay-den Jones gave his team an early 6-0 lead with a 66-yard run. Highland scored two touchdowns before the first quarter ended to take a 14-6 lead over Blackwell, then added 28 more to lead 42-6 at halftime. Highland added another touchdown to make it 48-6 at the end of three periods, but Blackwell pre-vented the game from end-ing prematurely by scoring twice in the fourth quarter.Highland's Michael Hyde, Shelby Howard and Ron Covington ran for a combined six TDs. A 5-yard run by Gaga Soedarsono and Covington's 10-yard interception return produced the other scores. Howard had three TD runs, two on 1-yard plunges plus a 27-yarder; Hyde had TD runs of 25 and 1 yard; and Covington also struck paydirt on a 22-yard run in the fourth quarter. Hyde also kicked three ex-tra points for Highland.Blackwell (3-4) finished with 238 yards rushing to Highland's 362. Jones also scored in the fourth quarter on a 49-yard run followed by Truston Cox's extra point, and Franck Cano got the other TD on a 9-yard run followed by Cox's PAT.Howard also recovered two fumbles for Highland and Covington one. Neither team had a lot of success through the air. Highland was 3-of-7 for 34 yards, and Blackwell was 2-of-8 for nine yards.
