When Southport Smoke House BBQ opens this month, one couple will be grinning a little wider than most
When Southport Smoke House BBQ opens later this month, one Brunswick County couple will be grinning a little wider than most as the sweet smell of smoked swine drifts over the neighborhood for the first time in 15 years.
Nearly 20 years ago, Phil Hemphill could be found battling the gusting winds of Hurricane Fran, struggling to stabilize newly installed smokestacks atop the restaurant he and his wife Elaine would open just two months later. The two ran Southport Village Bar-B-Que for just five years, but the brick pit he built by hand was made to last.
Natives of Lexington – a town some would argue is North Carolina's barbecue ground zero – the Hemphills' restaurant specialized in pork shoulders cooked over hickory logs "imported" from Davidson County. The pits, Elaine Hemphill said, were modeled after those at the famous Lexington Barbecue along Interstate 85 Business.
Since the Hemphills closed Southport Village Bar-B-Que in 2000, the property at 1102 N. Howe St., which they still own, has hosted a number of restaurants, most recently the short-lived Castaway Keys. None of the establishments, she said, made full use of the specialized ovens.
But that's about to change.
A trio of restaurateurs, Troy Knight, Jim Sparks and Ryan Salley (who will serve as pitmaster) has taken over the spot and are returning it to its roots. They'll offer brisket, ribs and pulled pork with both Lexington-style and vinegar sauces cooked over hickory. Salley said he'll mostly be smoking shoulders, a hallmark of the upstate variety, but would occasionally go whole hog, the more traditional method in the Eastern region.
"We're just a bunch of old Southern boys doing old-fashioned barbecue," Salley said. "This is the real deal."
The pit, built into an exterior wall on the back of the building and somewhat hidden behind the kitchen, still smells of the Hemphills' handiwork when the heavy metal doors swing open.
"He was there the day they opened up the pits," Elaine said of her husband. "Sadly, it had become a storage bin, but it was good for him to see that they were interested in getting them cleaned up to do some cooking."
The term "barbecue pit," in its most archaic form, once meant basically what it sounds like – a gouge in the earth holding smoldering embers over which a wild beast is turned from sinewy muscle to succulent feast.
Gradually, creature comforts like metal grating and the eventual roof and walls of the smokehouses that once peppered the South rose from the earth. Today, fancy stainless steel contraptions with motorized shelving, gas-assisted burners and computerized timers have become widespread.
Salley's future workspace consists of two large cookers divided by a smaller firebox designated for burning logs down to charcoal. He plans on smoking beef brisket on one side and pork on the other. The separate units allow individual control over the temperatures, should the meats require a different heat level.
When Phil Hemphill manned the grills, he was cooking about 500 pounds of shoulder per week on each side, with particularly brisk business in July. Elaine said the new operators have consulted with her husband, but despite every bone in his body struggling to do otherwise, he won't be helping in the kitchen.
"I tell people, 'I wish we'd been 20 years younger when we opened; we'd still be running it.' It holds a lot of memories, I tell you what," Elaine said. She added that the intense time requirements – traditional barbecue can take well over 12 hours to cook – and newborn grandchildren led to the closing of the original barbecue spot.
"It's very hard work, but the end result is worth it, and they'll learn that," she said. "We both are so excited for them and wish them the very best."

Screen resolution; i810 chip set, Puppy 1.0.1 and 1.0.2
I use different PC's at home. The principal PC's for all family member's are book PC's with the cheap chip set INTEL i810 an built in interface for video, audio, lan, etc ...
The puppy driver don't allow more than 800 x 600 resolution on the screen because of the cheap set (I did try 2 different monitors both able for higher resolution). It is possible to choice a kind of pseudocolor but it is a really bad solution.
For puppy 1.0.2 this is a killer situation:
- it is not possible to start Opera at all because it is not possible to finish the first start settings.
- No opera - no email ability as POP3 transaction because there is no second email programm in the new distribution.
truly yours

Doh! I'll see if I can tweak the start-up settings of Opera to work on 800x600, and release an updated version soon.
Although I think you can get past the start settings by just closing the window or using the keyboard.
I am assuming that you are using my CD as if not you'd have Sylpheed for e-mail... But you could also "pup-get" it ...

Post subject: i will try to install a correct X-driver for the i810
thank you john
the correct solution is to try install a correct X-driver especially for the i810 set. in different linux versions with the old kernels it was no problem. in other, it was the good reason to renonce to use linux (as I did do it years allong because I have such old pc's...)
I don't understand why puppy don't works with i810: all other live distributions I did try work properly until 1024 x 768 without difficulty on the same PC because they all use modern kernels where the driver is built in (mandrake move, knoppix, gnoppix). This limitation is a surprise for me because the systems become always better and better in in this case not. And 2 .. 3 years along the industrie did build a lot of cheap PC's with the i810 cheap chip set.

My computer has the i815t chipset, and I'm pretty sure it uses the i810 drivers. I haven't had any problem with either Barry's or John's Puppy at 800 x 600 x 16 bit resolution. Opera works fine for me.

I just tried it and yes, Opera remembers where its borders were the next time you restart it. As I recall, Mozilla and Firefox do too, at least in Windows.

I've been struggling with this issue myself for some time now. What I've learned is that
the problem with Puppy and the Intel i810 graphics chipset family
appears to stem from
(X links to /usr/X11R6/bin/Xvesa)
mistakenly reporting too little graphics memory
with certain BIOSes.
The i810 chipset doesn't have any video memory of its own but dynamically 'borrows' from main memory as needed (from 832 bytes up to 32MB I believe).
When I run Puppy on two different laptops , a ThinkPad R51 and a Dell Inspiron 510m, both with 1024x768 screens, 512MB RAM and 855GME graphics chips (the i810 chipset family), it runs fine on the R51 in
, but on the 510m it only comes up in
although I can choose a number of PseudoColor modes with higher resolution. But Puppy in PseudoColor is truely awful
That limits the resolution to VGA(!) and most applications in Puppy expect a larger desktop in order to work properly.
Running '
Xvesa -listmodes
' on the laptops reveals Xvesa as the source of the problem. Note the figures for '

From what I can find on the internet, Xvesa seems to be part of project RULE: the kdrive resource (http://www.rule-project.org/en/sw/kdrive.php) which also lists an Xi810 binary. I tried running Xi810 in Puppy, but it just complained about a missing library libpam.so.0.
Unfortunately, I haven't the faintest idea how to get this to work with Puppy.
Does anyone have this Xi810 driver for Puppy?

Hi paul

I don't know the difference between Xvesa and Xfree86 and why Puppy uses Xvesa and not Xfree86.
Intel has a special download page for the i810. You can find a lot of material for dos, windows and linux (Xfree86).
after using that, I did promise me "I will never more in the life a Intel processor system"...
on one computer, it's works, on the next, it's works not (as you says the missing lib's, and the place where you build the new system in you file system - it's the same with Xfree86. but i suppose that Xfree86 has not the problem any more after starting of full linux; but it is possible in possible by starting: I did never try the corel-linux distribution because it wasn't possible to see something on the screen by start!)...
but I have different old computers all with this terrible chip set...
after that, I did buy new computers for my sohn, for me and did look before buying for an other processor as intel! i am very happy that i have not intel any more for MY computer...
the problem for the owners of i810-systems is that you have to accept to run your system with a bad visualisation or to return to dos and microsoft windows because nobody is expert in this kind of procedure: all 5 years only you have to find the solution, and you can't become an expert...
so it can only be a matter for the creator of the distribution! his choice concerning libraries, and servers is decisive in this matter.
truly yours

I have the same problem as well, having an Intel 815 chipset. I can go as high as 640*480*24bit, 800*600*16bit, or 1024*768*8bit (which is ugly.) Oddly enough, on a newer PC with a better video card that I tested, my video options are even MORE limited (640*480*16bit color at best.) I will be anxiously monitoring this thread and others like it in the event that some halfway decent video drivers become available for Puppy. Ideally, I would be happy just to have 800*600*24bit color.

Regarding what I wrote earlier about the poor resolution (640x480x16 TrueColor) when running Puppy on a Dell Inspiron 510m with a 1024x768 screen, I should probably add that I can run Kanotix linux (works well on laptops and which I can highly recommend) in the highest resolution (1024x768x24 TrueColor) without a hitch on the same Dell 510m.
I have even run Kanotix at 1280x1024x24 TrueColor on this laptop by connecting a 17" external screen and simply changing a setting in KDE. I would think that this proves that the hardware (the i810 graphics chip family) will work without any difficulty in linux. Unfortunately, it is the driver that Puppy uses that is at fault.
IMHO, this problem should really be fixed because Puppy is a great little distro. The i810 chipset family is very common in both laptops (Centrino) and desktops today. It is cheaper to manufacture (and uses less power) than adding a dedicated graphics chip and will work fine for normal PC use not only under windows, but with many linux distros that I've tested.
Francois: You might just try Kanotix (http://kanotix.com/) on your family's PCs that have the i810 chipset. It's a live CD, but can easily be installed on the hard disk.

Post subject: Well groomed Puppy
Just as a matter of interest I decided to display at 24 million colours at 1024 x 1280
- Puppy 1.0.2 works OK with the 16 meg PCI Voodoo card and 17" AOC LCD montitor at the max resolution I can display.
When I was first using Puppy - I thought it was great but I could not stand the slow scrolling - so it was not feasible for me. Then I discovered the -shadow option (which has been mainstreamed as I no longer have to enter it)
Puppy does not work with everything. Barrys efforts to offer BOTH kernels (one as an unleashed package) in future Puppys will hopefully be of help
That people are increasingly seeing Puppy as a mobile distro is encouraging.
Anyway I do not have an easy solution - just dropped by to encourage your efforts to get these systems running and keeping on to manufacturers and Linux developers to generate ever better options.
Puppy is the first Linux that I am using. Not using in principle or for learning but using because it is better, faster, more fun. I am enjoying computing again.
Hope it all comes together for you
Oh Joy

I read that Barry, due to space limitations, limited video support to the Xvesa kdriver server.
I can understand that, after all, it does seem to work on a lot of machines (even if it doesn't on the Dell 510m and many other PCs with the i810-graphics chipset family)
What surprised me most though was that
Xvesa actually worked
on the ThinkPad R51, giving a
full 1024x768x16
in spite of
the i810 graphics chipset
I would love to try the
Xi810 kdriver server
on these laptops. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't it be possible to boot Puppy, do a ctrl-alt-backspace then start the Xi810 driver with the appropriate parameters to test it?
Would one of the Puppy developers or anyone else with a 'Puppy compiling environment' be kind enough to compile the Xi810 driver and make it available for testing? Perhaps we can solve this problem and make it
to run Puppy on many more machines

Post subject: Set DAC speed in Xvesa?
I found an Intel Support page which recommends adding "DacSpeed 230" to the
config file to allow all supported video modes on the i810:
Anyone know whether anything similar can be done under
I'm running both i810 and i815 embedded video -- and also getting only 800x600x16.
Also: Does anyone know whether the NVIDIA display driver can be installed under Puppy? (Sorry, I'm a newbee to this astonishing distro.)

hope, my english is good enough to explain my problem.
1. i have a qnap TS-563 with systemsoftware 4.2 and Madsonic version 5 installed
2. i can start madsonic in a browser xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:4040 and i get a Login
3. 1st time login with admin / admin was successfully and i changed my password
4. under settings i go to "users" and i made a new user called "Rene"
5. i logged in with the new username "Rene" and everything is working fine
6. then i logged in with user "admin" and everything is working fine, too
6a. i logged off
7. no i go to my laptop, and start the browser and put the same address in the browser on my QNAP with port 4040 (see above).
8. i get a login-mask and i fill in the name "admin" and my NEW password (remember, i changed it on my PC)
9. now i get a information, that the loginname or password not correct
10. i try to login on my laptop with "admin" and password "admin" and i will be logged in (i´m confused).
11. when i looked in the settings /users i see, that only one user "admin" is in there (where is my user "Rene" that i´ve created on my pc?)
12. then i logged off at my laptop
13. i start my pc and in the browser i put the address from my madsonic-server with the port 4040 (i have only one QNAP with Madsonic)
14. i see the login mask and i put the name "admin" and the password "admin" in there
15. i get the information, that i have a wrong name or password (i´m confused a second time)
16. i go back and i put the name "admin" and my NEW "password" in the field and press enter
17. now im logged in madsonic-server and under settings i see my created user "Rene"
18. on the PC, i can login as the User "Rene" without problems
19. after that i go to madsonic in the browser at my laptop, i can´t login with the user "admin" and the new password "password"
20. i loged in with the name "admin" and the password "admin"
21. in the settings, i see no other user (remember: on the PC, i build the user "Rene" and i see and can login with the user "Rene")
So, why have not the same login and user for each PC or Laptop? i have one QNAP with madsonic installed one time.
Further information: i can create a user "user1" on the laptop and when i changed to my PC, i didn´t see this user (only on my laptop)
i try it with different browsers (Edge, IE, Mozilla)
I´m confused
hope someone can help me

Tobacco harvesting, curing, stripping methods described in 1923 are essentially unchanged today.
My 1923 agriculture textbook has an entire chapter on growing tobacco. At that time, tobacco was America's eighth most valuable field crop. About 1/3 of that crop came from Kentucky. Other tobacco-growing states, in order of importance, included North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Maryland, and Connecticut.
Except for using tractors nowadays to take the wagons to the barns, tobacco harvesting procedures have changed very little in the last 80+ years. Even the scaffold wagon pictured in my old book looks very similar to that used today, except for the mule.
Kary Cadmus Davis, Ph. D. (Cornell), the author of , The New Agriculture for High Schools, wrote the following description of tobacco harvesting in the early 1920s.
Most tobacco in this country is harvested by splitting the stalk from the top to within a few inches of the ground. Then the stalk is cut off near the ground and is placed on a lath or "stick," running the lath through the split. These laths, when loaded, are placed across racks made for hauling the tobacco and are taken to curing barn or scaffolds. The tobacco should be allowed to wilt somewhat before being placed on laths and loaded on the wagon as it bruises much more easily when the leaves are crisp.
Ripeness of tobacco is indicated by the feel of the leaves, by the brittlesness of the veins when folded between the fingers, and by the slight yellowing of leaves. Frost in northern states often determines the time of harvesting as the crop must be in before frost.
There are three main types of curing tobacco: air curing, open-fire curing, and flue curing. Air curing is accomplished in specially constructed tobacco barns having ventilators up and down all sides. Open-fire or open hearth curing is accomplished in barns without special ventilation and is used chiefly for dark type of tobacco. Flue curing is in barns similar to the last but with more ventilation at the top, the circulation being caused by the heat. Flues conveying the hot smoke run through the barns.
Several weeks are required to complete the curing process, by any of the methods. Much study and experience is required to conduct the work successfully. All tobacco barns are provided with timbers and supports on which tobacco laths are placed.
When tobacco has been cured on the stalk, the next step is stripping, which consists in removing the leaves from the stalks. This should be done on moist days in early winter when the leaves are in proper "case." If too dry, they would be damaged by cracking and breaking. If they are becoming slightly to dry to "bulk," they are sometimes moistened a little, but it is better to have the leaves in natural condition with enough moisture present without adding any. They must be neither too wet nor too dry when in bulk.
During the stripping and bulking of tobacco leaves, they are sorted into three, four, or five grades, depending upon the type of tobacco. Leaves of any one grade are tied into small bundles and these into larger ones, according to the type of tobacco...

Here, I'll end the quote, because the marketing is done differently nowadays. The old book describes the large tobacco warehouses and loose-leaf auctions of times goneby. Around Hopkinsville, many of these old warehouses can still be seen, but they are no longer used and tobacco auctions are no longer held. Most tobacco leaf is bought in the field by tobacco companies.
Pictured above: a trailer loaded with pallets of laths (sticks) for spearing the cut tobacco plants. In the foreground, sticks with tobacco plants have been stood up in the sun so the tobacco can wilt before going to the barn.
Pictured above: A scaffold wagon, loaded with tobacco and ready to be pulled to the barn. The laths are laid across a framework and the plants hang down. In the barns, the laths will be laid across "tiers" of wooden framework, starting at the top of the barn and working down to the floor.

"Our findings suggest that this therapy could be a clinically viable strategy for treating patients with drug-induced liver injury," said Doctor Suraj Patel of MGH. "This work also has the potential to change the way drugs are developed and formulated, which could improve drug safety by providing medications with reduced risk of liver toxicity."
Drug-induced liver injury is the most common cause of acute liver failure in the United States and is also the most frequent reason for abandoning drugs early in development or withdrawing them from the market. Liver toxicity limits the development of many therapeutic compounds and presents major challenges to both clinical medicine and to the pharmaceutical industry. Since no pharmaceutical strategies currently exist for preventing drug-induced liver injury, treatment options are limited to discontinuing the offending drug, supportive care and transplantation for end-stage liver failure.
The researchers investigated an approach that targets a liver's gap junctions – hollow multimolecular channels that connect neighboring cells and allow direct communication between coupled cells. In the heart, gap junctions propagate the electrical activity required for synchronised contraction, but their role in the liver has not been well understood.
The researchers first used a strain of genetically mutated mice that lack a particular liver-specific gap junction. The mice were administered various liver-toxic drugs such as acetaminophen, a commonly used medication best known under the Tylenol brand name. Acetaminophen overdoses are the most frequent cause of drug-induced liver injury.
Compared to normal mice, those lacking liver gap junctions were fully protected against liver damage, inflammation and death caused by administration of liver-toxic drugs. The team then identified a small-molecule inhibitor of liver gap junctions that, when given with or even after the toxic drugs, protected the livers of normal mice against injury and prevented their death.
"This finding is very exciting and potentially very powerful from a number of basic science and clinical application standpoints, which we are continuing to explore," said Doctor Martin Yarmush. "However, before we can think about applying this approach to patients, we need to know more about any off-target effects of gap junction inhibitors and better understand the long-term ramifications of temporarily blocking liver-specific gap junction channels."

dru22nknox needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 94 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
Very important, keep in mind that we plan to offer matching cocktail tables, banquet tables, and buffet displays soon. We want our image to remain open for growth into new ideas within the bar and chefs realm. Mainly the events industry!
Our event rentals are more modern in looks. Our items are not very cheap, so they will appeal to serious events personnel and designers.
Were open on colors. The colors you choose for the logo will be used throughout our web page designs. We are basing everything off the logo and are completely open!!
Also, BarChefs is the name of the products not company. Parent company is BarBop. However all items we plan to sell will be under BarChefs product line (ie.... BarChefs Portable light up bar, Bar Chefs portable cocktail table, etc...)
BarChefs is the name of a new product line of Portable cocktail bars for special events. These bars will be used at fund raisers, weddings, and festivals. The people buying these bars will be caterers, event planners, event rental supply companies, and various others.
Very open to design.
Ideas I thought of were background art of bartenders, cocktails, chefs, food, etc... but not sure if that would look cool or not.
100% open to cool ideas is why Im here. Im decent with photoshop design, but feel like my creativity is lacking, so Im looking to all you cool designers :). Artwork or cool letters. Something modernistic, futuristic.
Stuff should be soooo 3008 and leave them others in 2008.
One request is that logo not too expensive to reproduce on other items. For example the new cases (Black in color) will need logos stitched to them. Also, we may stamp the logo into the aluminum tops on some of these bars, so a logo that might look cool without color if it was metal stamped??? Not a must but cool.
Currently, we have no tag line if you want to use one in logo. Tag line should be too limiting...
Contact me if questions.

Two-out hits were the story for the Nebraska baseball team (12-16, 6-1 Big Ten) on Friday night at Duane Banks Field, as the Huskers scored eight of their 12 runs with two-out RBIs on their way to a 12-5 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes (10-14, 1-6 Big Ten). With the win, the Huskers are 3-0 in Big Ten series openers this season and 6-1 overall on the year in conference play.
Eight Huskers tallied a hit on the night, including a 4-for-6 evening from senior outfielder Rich Sanguinetti. Fellow senior Kash Kalkowski added his first home run of the season, a three-run shot in the first, and Tanner Lubach drove in a career-high four RBIs with his first career double as a Husker.
Nebraska starter Christian DeLeon picked up this second win in conference play, while improving to 3-2 on the year, as he struck out five while giving up three runs (all earned) on 10 hits over 6.0 innings. The junior righty struggled early, giving up eight hits in the first three innings of the game, but then locked in and allowed just two outs over his final three innings of work.
Relievers Luke Bublitz, Jeff Chesnut and Colton Howell each threw an inning of relief to secure the win. Bublitz threw a perfect seventh inning, including a pair of strikeouts to end the inning, and Chesnut delivered a shutout eighth on one hit. Howell allowed a pair of runs in the ninth on a single, HBP and another single to start the inning, but then retired three straight Hawkeyes, including a strikeout to end the game.
The Huskers ended Iowa starter Sasha Kuebel's perfect record in Big Ten play, sending Kuebel his first career loss in a Big Ten start. A freshman All-American in 2012, Kuebel was 4-0 in eight conference starts a year ago. On Friday night, the 6-1 lefty lasted 5.0 innings, giving up eight runs (all earned) on eight hits and three walks.
Nebraska's bats got to work right away with four runs on five hits in the first inning. All nine batters in the NU's lineup went to plate in the inning, starting with a leadoff double from Sanguinetti. Pat Kelly followed with a single to plate the game's first run. After Kuebel struck out Michael Pritchard, Chad Christensen singled to put runners at first and second. Darby followed with a slow groundball that allowed Kuebel to erase Christensen at second, but Darby beat the throw to first to put runners on the corners with two down for Kalkowski. The senior first baseman delivered a big swing on a 1-0 pitch from Kuebel that carried over the 367-foot sign in left-center field for Kalkowski's 10th career home run. Blake Headley followed with a two-out single and Lubach reach on catcher's interference, before Kuebel got out of the first with a strikeout of Wes Edrington.
After DeLeon stranded a pair or runners in the first, the Hawkeyes put pressure on the junior righty when they loaded the bases with one out. Facing the top of Iowa's lineup, DeLeon got Eric Toole to pop up and Kris Goodman to groundout, escaping the bases-loaded jam.
Iowa loaded the bases again in the third with three-straight one-out singles, and DeLeon was unable to get out of the inning unscathed. After Taylor Zeutenhorst came through with Iowa's fourth consecutive single to get the Hawkeyes on the board and DeLeon hit Jake Mangler to force home Taylor Kaufman, cutting Nebraska's lead in half, 4-2. With the bases still loaded and one down, DeLeon punched out his first batter of the game and followed with a groundout to strand three Hawkeyes.
Kuebel gave back a run in the fourth, as Headley came around to score on a two-out single by Sanguinetti after getting HBP to lead off the inning.
The two-out hits continued for Nebraska in the fifth, this time off the bat of Lubach. Pritchard led off with a single and Christensen followed with a walk, before Kuebel retired consecutive Huskers. Headley worked a full-count walk to load the bases and Lubach blasted the first pitch he saw into the right-field gap to clear the bases, pushing Nebraska's lead to 8-2. DeLeon came out in the bottom of the fifth and struck out the side, picking up his third, fourth and fifth strikeouts of the night.
Nebraska scored three runs of more in an inning for the third time on the night with a three spot in the seventh. The Huskers loaded the bases with a pair of singles and with Kalkowski's 13th HBP of the year. Headley worked his second straight walk to force in Christensen, before Lubach and Edrington followed with consecutive RBI fielder's choices to push the Husker lead to 11-3.
Kelly notched Nebraska's eight two-out RBI of the night with a single in the top of the ninth that scored Josh Scheffert, who reached earlier in the inning with a pinch-hit HBP.
The Huskers and Hawkeyes return to Duane Banks Field tomorrow for game two of the three-game series at 1:05 p.m.

The Millennium Development Goals
At the Millennium Summit in September 2000, the largest gathering of world leaders in history adopted the UN Millennium Declaration, committing 189 world leaders to a new global partnership aimed at reducing extreme poverty and establishing a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015, that have become known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
The MDGs are quantifiable targets that address extreme poverty in its many dimensions – income, poverty, hunger, disease, lack of adequate shelter, while promoting gender equality, education and environmental sustainability. The MDGs reflect our most basic human rights – the rights of each person on the planet to health, education, shelter and security.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are:
Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty
Goal 2: Achieve Universal Primary Education
Goal 3: Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women
Goal 4: Reduce Child Mortality
Goal 5: Improve Maternal Health
Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases
Goal 7: Ensure Environmental Sustainability
Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development
Millennium Promise:
Co-founded by Jeffrey Sachs, Millennium Promise is a non-profit organization working to end extreme poverty. Their mission is to achieve the MDGs in Africa by 2015, working with the belief that for the first time in history our generation has the opportunity to end extreme poverty, hunger and disease. Millennium Promise works with impoverished communities, national and local governments and partner organizations to implement high-impact programs aimed at transforming lives on the African continent and engaging donor nations, corporations and the general public in the effort.
Their flagship initiative, the Millennium Villages project, applies scientific research, economic analysis and international development expertise towards the practical achievement of the MDGs at the rural level. Now operating in 80 villages across 10 countries in Africa, the Millennium Villages project takes a comprehensive approach to ending poverty by holistically addressing agriculture, nutrition, water, health, education and infrastructure needs simultaneously.

Communist Party USA, 1919 to 1957
James R. Barrett
The largest and most important revolutionary socialist organization in US history, the Communist Party USA was always a minority influence. It reached considerable size and influence, however, during the Great Depression and World War II years when it followed the more open line associated with the term "Popular Front." In these years communists were much more flexible in their strategies and relations with other groups, though the party remained a hierarchical vanguard organization. It grew from a largely isolated sect dominated by unskilled and unemployed immigrant men in the 1920s to a socially diverse movement of nearly 100,000 based heavily on American born men and women from the working and professional classes by the late 1930s and during World War II, exerting considerable influence in the labor movement and American cultural life. In these years, the Communist Party helped to build the industrial union movement, advanced the cause of African American civil rights, and laid the foundation for the postwar feminist movement. But the party was always prone to abrupt changes in line and vulnerable to attack as a sinister outside force because of its close adherence to Soviet policies and goals. Several factors contributed to its catastrophic decline in the 1950s: the increasingly antagonistic Cold War struggle between the Soviet Union and the United States; an unprecedented attack from employers and government at various levels—criminal cases and imprisonment, deportation, and blacklisting; and within the party itself, a turn back toward a more dogmatic version of Marxism-Leninism and a heightened atmosphere of factional conflict and purges.
Progressives and Progressivism in an Era of Reform
Maureen A. Flanagan
The decades from the 1890s into the 1920s produced reform movements in the United States that resulted in significant changes to the country's social, political, cultural, and economic institutions. The impulse for reform emanated from a pervasive sense that the country's democratic promise was failing. Political corruption seemed endemic at all levels of government. An unregulated capitalist industrial economy exploited workers and threatened to create a serious class divide, especially as the legal system protected the rights of business over labor. Mass urbanization was shifting the country from a rural, agricultural society to an urban, industrial one characterized by poverty, disease, crime, and cultural clash. Rapid technological advancements brought new, and often frightening, changes into daily life that left many people feeling that they had little control over their lives. Movements for socialism, woman suffrage, and rights for African Americans, immigrants, and workers belied the rhetoric of the United States as a just and equal democratic society for all its members.
Responding to the challenges presented by these problems, and fearful that without substantial change the country might experience class upheaval, groups of Americans proposed undertaking significant reforms. Underlying all proposed reforms was a desire to bring more justice and equality into a society that seemed increasingly to lack these ideals. Yet there was no agreement among these groups about the exact threat that confronted the nation, the means to resolve problems, or how to implement reforms. Despite this lack of agreement, all so-called Progressive reformers were modernizers. They sought to make the country's democratic promise a reality by confronting its flaws and seeking solutions. All Progressivisms were seeking a via media, a middle way between relying on older ideas of 19th-century liberal capitalism and the more radical proposals to reform society through either social democracy or socialism. Despite differences among Progressives, the types of Progressivisms put forth, and the successes and failures of Progressivism, this reform era raised into national discourse debates over the nature and meaning of democracy, how and for whom a democratic society should work, and what it meant to be a forward-looking society. It also led to the implementation of an activist state.
Russian-U.S. Foreign Relations, 1917–1991
Margaret Peacock
In 1835, Alexis de Tocqueville argued in Democracy in America that there were "two great nations in the world." They had started from different historical points but seemed to be heading in the same direction. As expanding empires, they faced the challenges of defeating nature and constructing a civilization for the modern era. Although they adhered to different governmental systems, "each of them," de Tocqueville declared, "seems marked out by the will of Heaven to sway the destinies of half the globe."
De Tocqueville's words were prophetic. In the 19th century, Russian and American intellectuals and diplomats struggled to understand the roles that their countries should play in the new era of globalization and industrialization. Despite their differing understandings of how development should happen, both sides believed in their nation's vital role in guiding the rest of the world. American adherents of liberal developmentalism often argued that a free flow of enterprise, trade, investment, information, and culture was the key to future growth. They held that the primary obligation of American foreign policy was to defend that freedom by pursuing an "open door" policy and free access to markets. They believed that the American model would work for everyone and that the United States had an obligation to share its system with the old and underdeveloped nations around it.
A similar sense of mission developed in Russia. Russian diplomats had for centuries struggled to establish defensive buffers around the periphery of their empire. They had linked economic development to national security, and they had argued that their geographic expansion represented a "unification" of peoples as opposed to a conquering of them. In the 19th century, after the Napoleonic Wars and the failed Decembrist Revolution, tsarist policymakers fought to defend autocracy, orthodoxy, and nationalism from domestic and international critics. As in the United States, Imperial and later Soviet leaders envisioned themselves as the emissaries of the Enlightenment to the backward East and as protectors of tradition and order for the chaotic and revolutionary West.
These visions of order clashed in the 20th century as the Soviet Union and the United States became superpowers. Conflicts began early, with the American intervention in the 1918–1921 Russian civil war. Tensions that had previously been based on differing geographic and strategic interests then assumed an ideological valence, as the fight between East and West became a struggle between the political economies of communism and capitalism. Foreign relations between the two countries experienced boom and bust cycles that took the world to the brink of nuclear holocaust and yet maintained a strategic balance that precluded the outbreak of global war for fifty years. This article will examine how that relationship evolved and how it shaped the modern world.
Stephen Wise and Americanism
Randi Storch
Over the first half of the 20th century, Rabbi Stephen S. Wise (1874–1949) devoted himself to solving the most controversial social and political problems of his day: corruption in municipal politics, abuse of industrial workers, women's second-class citizenship, nativism and racism, and global war. He considered his activities an effort to define "Americanism" and apply its principles toward humanity's improvement. On the one hand, Wise joined a long tradition of American Christian liberals committed to seeing their fellow citizens as their equals and to grounding this egalitarianism in their religious beliefs. On the other hand, he was in the vanguard of the Jewish Reform, or what he referred to as the Liberal Judaism movement, with its commitment to apply Jewish moral teachings to improve the world. His life's work demonstrated that the two—liberal democracy and Liberal Judaism—went hand in hand. And while concerned with equality and justice, Wise's Americanism had a democratic elitist character. His advocacy to engage the public on the meaning of citizenship and the role of the state relied on his own Jewish, male, and economically privileged perspective as well as those of an elite circle of political and business leaders, intellectual trendsetters, social scientists, philanthropists, labor leaders, and university faculty. In doing so, Wise drew upon on Jewish liberal teachings, transformed America's liberal tradition, and helped to remake American's national understanding of itself.
Struggles over Individual Rights and State Power in the Progressive Era
Michael Willrich
From the 1890s to World War I, progressive reformers in the United States called upon their local, state, and federal governments to revitalize American democracy and address the most harmful social consequences of industrialization. The emergence of an increasingly powerful administrative state, which intervened on behalf of the public welfare in the economy and society, generated significant levels of conflict. Some of the opposition came from conservative business interests, who denounced state labor laws and other market regulations as meddlesome interferences with liberty of contract. But the historical record of the Progressive Era also reveals a broad undercurrent of resistance from ordinary Americans, who fought for personal liberty against the growth of police power in such areas as public health administration and the regulation of radical speech. Their struggles in the streets, statehouses, and courtrooms of the United States in the early 20th century shaped the legal culture of the period and revealed the contested meaning of individual liberty in a new social age.
The Socialist Party of America, 1900–1929
Elizabeth McKillen
One of the pervasive myths about the United States is that it has never had a socialist movement comparable to other industrialized nations. Yet in the early 20th century a vibrant Socialist Party and socialist movement flourished in the United States. Created in 1901, the Socialist Party of America unsurprisingly declared its primary goal to be the collectivization of the means of production. Yet the party's highly decentralized and democratic structure enabled it to adapt to the needs and cultures of diverse constituencies in different regions of the country. Among those attracted to the movement in its heyday were immigrant and native-born workers and their families, tenant farmers, middle-class intellectuals, socially conscious millionaires, urban reformers, and feminists. Party platforms regularly included the reform interests of these groups as well as the long-term goal of eradicating capitalism. By 1912, the Socialist Party boasted an impressive record of electoral successes at the local, state, and national levels. U.S. Socialists could also point with pride to over three hundred English and foreign-language Socialist periodicals, some with subscription rates that rivaled those of the major urban daily newspapers.
Yet Socialists faced numerous challenges in their efforts to build a viable third-party movement in the United States. On the one hand, progressive reformers in the Democratic and Republican parties sought to coopt Socialists. On the other hand, the Socialist Party encountered challenges on the left from anarchists, syndicalists, communists, and Farmer-Labor Party activists. The Socialist Party was particularly weakened by government repression during World War I, by the postwar Red Scare, and by a communist insurgency within its ranks in the aftermath of the war. By the onset of the Great Depression, the Communist Party would displace the Socialist Party as the leading voice of radical change in the United States.
Urban Politics in the United States before 1940
James J. Connolly
The convergence of mass politics and the growth of cities in 19th-century America produced sharp debates over the character of politics in urban settings. The development of what came to be called machine politics, primarily in the industrial cities of the East and Midwest, generated sharp criticism of its reliance on the distribution of patronage and favor trading, its emphatic partisanship, and the plebian character of the "bosses" who practiced it. Initially, upper- and middle-class businessmen spearheaded opposition to this kind of politics, but during the late nineteenth and early 20th centuries, labor activists, women reformers, and even some ethnic spokespersons confronted "boss rule" as well. These challenges did not succeed in bringing an end to machine politics where it was well established, but the reforms they generated during the Progressive Era reshaped local government in most cities. In the West and Southwest, where cities were younger and partisan organizations less entrenched, business leaders implemented Progressive municipal reforms to consolidate their power. Whether dominated by reform regime or a party machine, urban politics and governance became more centralized by 1940 and less responsive to the concerns and demands of workers and immigrants.
US-Chilean Relations
Patrick William Kelly
The relationship between Chile and the United States pivoted on the intertwined questions of how much political and economic influence Americans would exert over Chile and the degree to which Chileans could chart their own path. Given Chile's tradition of constitutional government and relative economic development, it established itself as a regional power player in Latin America. Unencumbered by direct US military interventions that marked the history of the Caribbean, Central America, and Mexico, Chile was a leader in movements to promote Pan-Americanism, inter-American solidarity, and anti-imperialism. But the advent of the Cold War in the 1940s, and especially after the 1959 Cuban Revolution, brought an increase in bilateral tensions. The United States turned Chile into a "model democracy" for the Alliance for Progress, but frustration over its failures to enact meaningful social and economic reform polarized Chilean society, resulting in the election of Marxist Salvador Allende in 1970. The most contentious period in US-Chilean relations was during the Nixon administration when it worked, alongside anti-Allende Chileans, to destabilize Allende's government, which the Chilean military overthrew on September 11, 1973. The Pinochet dictatorship (1973–1990), while anti-Communist, clashed with the United States over Pinochet's radicalization of the Cold War and the issue of Chilean human rights abuses. The Reagan administration—which came to power on a platform that reversed the Carter administration's critique of Chile—reversed course and began to support the return of democracy to Chile, which took place in 1990. Since then, Pinochet's legacy of neoliberal restructuring of the Chilean economy looms large, overshadowed perhaps only by his unexpected role in fomenting a global culture of human rights that has ended the era of impunity for Latin American dictators.
US Foreign Policy and Decolonization
Jason C. Parker
The decolonization of the European overseas empires had its intellectual roots early in the modern era, but its culmination occurred during the Cold War that loomed large in post-1945 international history. This culmination thus coincided with the American rise to superpower status and presented the United States with a dilemma. While philosophically sympathetic to the aspirations of anticolonial nationalist movements abroad, the United States' vastly greater postwar global security burdens made it averse to the instability that decolonization might bring and that communists might exploit. This fear, and the need to share those burdens with European allies who were themselves still colonial landlords, led Washington to proceed cautiously. The three "waves" of the decolonization process—medium-sized in the late 1940s, large in the half-decade around 1960, and small in the mid-1970s—prompted the American use of a variety of tools and techniques to influence how it unfolded.
Prior to independence, this influence was usually channeled through the metropolitan authority then winding down. After independence, Washington continued and often expanded the use of these tools, in most cases on a bilateral basis. In some theaters, such as Korea, Vietnam, and the Congo, through the use of certain of these tools, notably covert espionage or overt military operations, Cold War dynamics enveloped, intensified, and repossessed local decolonization struggles. In most theaters, other tools, such as traditional or public diplomacy or economic or technical development aid, affixed the Cold War into the background as a local transition unfolded. In all cases, the overriding American imperative was to minimize instability and neutralize actors on the ground who could invite communist gains.
Zoning in 20th-Century American Cities
Christopher Silver
Zoning is a legal tool employed by local governments to regulate land development. It determines the use, intensity, and form of development in localities through enforcement of the zoning ordinance, which consists of a text and an accompanying map that divides the locality into zones. Zoning is an exercise of the police powers by local governments, typically authorized through state statutes. Components of what became part of the zoning process emerged piecemeal in U.S. cities during the 19th century in response to development activities deemed injurious to the health, safety, and welfare of the community. American zoning was influenced by and drew upon models already in place in German cities early in the 20th century. Following the First National Conference on Planning and Congestion, held in Washington, DC in 1909, the zoning movement spread throughout the United States. The first attempt to apply a version of the German zoning model to a U.S. city was in New York City in 1916. In the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Ambler Realty v. Village of Euclid (1926), zoning was ruled as a constitutional exercise of the police power, a precedent-setting case that defined the perimeters of land use regulation the remainder of the 20th century.
Zoning was explicitly intended to sanction regulation of real property use to serve the public interest, but frequently, it was used to facilitate social and economic segregation. This was most often accomplished by controlling the size and type of housing, where high density housing (for lower income residents) could be placed in relation to commercial and industrial uses, and in some cases through explicit use of racial zoning categories for zones. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled, in Buchanan v. Warley (1917), that a racial zoning plan of the city of Louisville, Kentucky violated the due process clause of the14th Amendment. The decision, however, did not directly address the discriminatory aspects of the law. As a result, efforts to fashion legally acceptable racial zoning schemes persisted late into the 1920s. These were succeeded by the use of restrictive covenants to prohibit black (and other minority) occupancy in certain white neighborhoods (until declared unconstitutional in the late 1940s). More widespread was the use of highly differentiated residential zoning schemes and real estate steering that imbedded racial and ethnic segregation into the residential fabric of American communities.
The Standard State Zoning Enabling Act (SSZEA) of 1924 facilitated zoning. Disseminated by the U.S. Department of Commerce, the SSZEA created a relatively uniform zoning process in U.S. cities, although depending upon their size and functions, there were definite differences in the complexity and scope of zoning schemes. The reason why localities followed the basic form prescribed by the SSZEA was to minimize the chance of the zoning ordinance being struck down by the courts. Nonetheless, from the 1920s through the 1970s, thousands of court cases tested aspects of zoning, but only a few reached the federal courts, and typically, zoning advocates prevailed.
In the 1950s and 1960s, critics of zoning charged that the fragmented city was an unintended consequence. This critique was a response to concerns that zoning created artificial separations among the various types of development in cities, and that this undermined their vitality. Zoning nevertheless remained a cornerstone of U.S. urban and suburban land regulation, and new techniques such as planned unit developments, overlay zones, and form-based codes introduced needed flexibility to reintegrate urban functions previously separated by conventional zoning approaches.

OAKLAND — A man was shot and killed Wednesday night during a suspected robbery at a cell phone store.
Police confirmed that an adult male was shot in the torso around 7 p.m. in the Metro PCS store on the 9200 block of International Boulevard.
Authorities could not say whether there were any suspects or what led to the fatal encounter.
Officers and firefighters responded to the store after they had received multiple calls that someone was shot. Police roped off the area while officers investigated.
The identity of the man was not released.
Small crowds gathered on street corners across from the store and watched in the rain as officers came and went from the store.
One observer, a 17-year-old boy, said he was walking down International Boulevard when he heard a gunshot.
"Someone just got shot down the road yesterday," said the boy, shaking his head. "This happens all the time here."

This Guest Post is by Charles T. Goodin, a sandan and instructor in the Hikari Dojo. The second son of Charles C. Goodin, he is a senior at the University of Hawaii.
Karate to many people, is a great form of self-defense. I've been doing karate for almost all of my life. Could I protect myself using Karate? Sure. Would I? Of course. But the only reason that I can say this is because I've been doing it for 16 years now. One thing that must be set straight is the simple fact that Karate should not be learned so that you can protect yourself.
Many new students feel that studying Karate will help them defend themselves against attackers. Sadly, Karate is not a very effective means of protection unless you are very skilled at it. How long does this take? It could be months, it could be years, or it could even a lifetime. This all depends on the student, the sensei, and the style of Karate. What good is knowing how to do 18 kata if you can only defend yourself against predetermined attacks. In order to protect yourself using Karate, your movements must become instinctive. Using Karate must become second nature in order for anyone to use Karate effectively.
If this is the case, then why do so many people still take Karate? Well, the fact is, most people believe that learning Karate gives them the ability to use it effectively. In my eyes, 95% of all Karate students have no chance of protecting themselves against a real attacker if they use their Karate. Ninety-five percent! What does this mean? It means that Karate as a whole is not very effective. But, if you learn it the right way, and you practice it long enough, it becomes extremely effective. Most students don't study for a long enough time to see their time and effort pay dividends. As I stated above, the time that is required to become skilled differs with every student, every teacher, and every style, but I can safely say it takes at least five years.
Eventually, students will learn how to protect themselves, but when they reach this point, they should also know that using Karate to defend yourself can be too dangerous. If someone is trying to rob you, is it ok for you to kill them? If someone is calling you stupid, is it ok for you to beat them up? The answer to both of these questions are obviously no. This is what every student should learn from taking Karate.
Karate should not, under any circumstances be learned for self-defense. Karate helps students develop better hand/eye coordination. Karate teaches self discipline. And above all, Karate should make students and teachers better people. Karate teaches respect. Whether it's for your sensei, your parents, your peers, or for yourself, respect is the most important thing anyone can learn from Karate.

We didn't think we would get as much house for our money as we have ended up with and the hallway is really big. (Though dark here due to the '70's wood panelling and carpet.)
The front room featured textured wallpaper, a plastic faux log effect gas fire and the thickest greenish-murky shag carpet I have EVER seen! Said carpet was the first thing I wanted to get rid of when we moved in but alas 2 months down the line and it is the only carpet remaining from original! In the end we decided the carpet was better than the concrete floor in the front room as we do spend a fair bit of time there but I still can't wait to change it.
Back room. The house was a little bit odd as it almost had two living rooms. It was built in the 1920's so then they would most likely have had a sitting room for best which was only used on Sunday's and I imagine this back room would get most use. A slightly more modern fire in this one but an uglier fireplace unfortunately. Oh and the carpet!
The kitchen was absolutely tiny. Doesn't look too bad here? Well this is it. At the edge of the picture is the door leading in and behind me is a wall. This was all the units the previous family had and I can tell you it is HARD to cook in a kitchen that size!
Upstairs then, is this lovely landing. I really think this is part of what sold the house to us. It is large enough for a sofa and really quite spacious.
The main bedroom is a similar shape to the front room and pretty large. It is a bit of a pain being a strange shape as it is hard to know where to put the bed.
The back bedroom has the lovely little original fireplace which I just wish was in the main bedroom. Bonus new boiler in here too.
Luckily, unlike everywhere else, the bathroom has seen some modernisation and has a pretty good shower too. This is the only room we haven't done anything to and won't need to in the near future.
So there it is! Our very own first home. Seeing these pictures makes me realise we have done quite a lot to the house already even if it does seem like slow progress sometimes.

I recently did a post on "A Place For Your Eyes to Rest!" In this post I talked about how important it is too be in touch with how many patterns and colors you have going on in a room. I emphasized the point that you will need a place of neutral color and no patterns in which to rest the eye in a room.
She vowed to herself that she was NOT going to clutter up this new fresh white space with her collections and vignettes as she had done in her previous homes.

Four Headed to 2011 NCAA Outdoor T&F Meetby Brent Harris • May 22, 2011 Share:
Jake Waterman, Kevin McCarthy, Wes Chamblee, and Seth Einterz will compete at the 2011 NCAA Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship Meet this week at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio. Einterz joined the field over the weekend after breaking a 39-year-old Wabash record in the 5000-meter run to earn a provisional qualifying spot in the national field.
McCarthy posted the third-fastest time in the nation of 8:58.66 in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, the only event in which he will be entered. The junior also qualified for the 800-meter and 1500-meter runs. He earned All-America honors in the 1500-meter run at the 2010 Outdoor Championship meet with a fifth-place finish.
Waterman's qualifying time of 1:50.74 is sixth-best in the field of 19 competitors in the 800-meter run. He hit the automatic qualifying mark at the North Central Gregory Track and Field Invitational last weekend, breaking his own school record in the process. The sophomore finished second in the 800 at the 2011 indoor championship meet to earn All-America honors for the second consecutive season.
Chamblee will compete in the 400-meter hurdles after posting a qualifying time of 53.11 the first time he ran the event this season. He is recovering from reconstructive knee surgery from an injury that ended his 2010 football season. His time is 13th-best among the field of 19 athletes.
Einterz (pictured) hit the provisional qualifying time by winning the 5,000-meter run at the Gregory Invitational Thursday evening with a time of 14:34.91. That topped the Wabash record of 14:36.00 set back in 1972 by Dick Bowerman. Einterz is 19th in the 20-man field, but is less than 15 seconds away from a top-four time overall.
Daniel Ambrosio posted a provisional qualifying mark in the javelin at the Gregory Invitational with a personal-best effort of 59.56 meters (195 feet, 5 inches). However, his mark ended up 22nd on the national list with the top-19 efforts earning a place in the national championship field. Pole vaulters Trevor Young and Matt Knox also posted NCAA provisional qualifying marks, as did the Wabash 4x400-meter relay team. However, those qualifying efforts were not able to make the final cut to earn a chance to compete at nationals based upon the preliminary meet list posted Sunday afternoon.
The 2011 NCAA Division III Championships begin Thursday afternoon at Selby Stadium and Gauthier Track and Field on the campus of Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, Ohio.
