mtvU Unveils Video Experience to Combat Human Trafficking
mtvU, MTV's 24-hour college network, today unveiled a student-conceived interactive video experience to combat human trafficking as part of its "mtvU Against Our Will Campaign," which taps into the growing student movement to end modern-day slavery in the U.S. Launched as part of National Slavery and Human Trafficking Awareness Month, "The Backstory" sheds light on the realities of human trafficking in an intensely personal and affecting way, weaving in simple - yet impactful - ways college students can take action now to help stop this human rights atrocity."'The Backstory' spotlights the emotional stories of human trafficking victims in an incredibly powerful way, revealing how young people can be coerced into sex and labor trafficking," said Stephen Friedman, President of MTV. "We're proud to partner with these incredibly bright students to shatter misconceptions about trafficking victims, and to illuminate ways we can all help end modern day slavery.""The Backstory" draws users in as they become a central character in the storyline. The experience begins as the user selects from a number of provocative ads, and then learns the painful stories behind those seemingly innocuous posts. Soon, they find out how someone they know could become a victim of modern-day slavery. As the experience progresses, the backstory of the victims is illustrated through a powerful series of videos featuring dancers from Ailey II and choreography by Ailey II artistic director Troy Powell, music scored by Kenna and narration read by rapper Talib Kweli, all of which was inspired by a compilation of real-life Survivor stories. The experience is further intensified when the user connects to their Facebook account and sees a more personalized storyline unfold. Additionally, "The Backstory" connects users with simple steps to take action against modern-day slavery, from rallying for laws that support the rights of trafficking survivors to discovering how their actions could inadvertently be supporting modern-day slavery. To get started, visit http://TheBackstory.MTV.com. "This project is such a brilliant way to tell a very tragic story," said Kenna. "In my work with water and women empowerment, you are constantly reminded of the security issues for young people, the risk of being captured and enslaved. I was honored to be asked to contribute and hope to make a difference in any way I can.""Students are always the vanguard of a movement, so when they move on something as important as human trafficking - I stand with them. This is a creative way to bring a travesty to the forefront, and to make a difference," said Talib Kweli."Ailey II is honored to provide the visual embodiment of these powerful backstories of human, labor and sex trafficking. This is the first time we have participated in an effort such as this one, and it is rewarding to be able to bring awareness to such a worthy cause," Troy Powell, Ailey II artistic director and choreographer of the "The Backstory" said. "We hope to move viewers to take action and share what they have learned with their friends and networks." "The Backstory" was inspired by four James Madison University students' winning entry for the "Against Our Will Challenge," which called on college students from around the country to submit ideas for an innovative digital tool to raise awareness of modern-day slavery. In cooperation with LexisNexis(R) Legal & Professional, the students - Kristen Hotz, Jasmine Jones, Danielle McLean, and Liz Ramirez - were awarded $10,000, along with news that MTV would develop their concept.Also part of the "mtvU Against Our Will Campaign," mtvU announced the University of Wisconsin Whitewater as the winners of the second "Slavery Footprint Campus Challenge." The Challenge called on students to help stop slavery by using Slavery Footprint's Free World mobile app to take actions such as checking-in at retail and restaurant locations to alert brands and business owners that they want slave-free products. Between the two "Slavery Footprint Campus Challenges," more than 200 schools were represented and nearly 30,000 actions were taken. As a reward for the school with the most points, several student participants from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater will be featured on mtvU and mtvU.com. mtvU's new initiatives are part of the "mtvU Against Our Will Campaign," which, in partnership with Free the Slaves, Girls Educational and Mentoring Services (GEMS) and Polaris Project, taps into the growing student movement to end modern-day slavery. The campaign makes it easy for young people to take action to help stop one of the greatest human rights atrocities of our time and galvanize the college audience's efforts, as there are currently more than 300 student organizations on campuses around the country taking action to stop human trafficking.According to The National Human Trafficking Resource Center (NHTRC) hotline, incidences of human trafficking were reported in all 50 states in 2012. As defined under U.S. federal law, victims of human trafficking include children induced into the sex trade, adults age 18 or over who are coerced or forced into commercial sex acts, and anyone forced or deceived into different forms of "labor or services," such as domestic workers held in a home, or farm-workers forced to labor against their will. Every year, human traffickers generate billions of dollars in profits, and the International Labor Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims worldwide, including hundreds of thousands here in the United States. Human trafficking is considered to be one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the world (source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

The worst atrocity against British wildlife in history.
Perhaps some of us have got used to the idea of the badger cull ? Just politics, and perhaps something that's necessary to solve a farming problem ? But the truth is this is the worst atrocity against British wildlife in history. It's persecution on an almost unimaginable scale. 33,000 animals killed ? Imagine driving down a road for 18 miles. The bodies of these creatures laid end to end would stretch all the way along - 18 miles of the dead, completely innocent families of our native badgers. In terms of animal cruelty, the Badger

Tiny Tight Rant
5 comments:
You're not a prude. I swear, there should be a class on decency and common sense. Tights are not pants. They never will be. I don't care how gorgeous your ass is, please keep it away from my view. I will wear tights or leggings as layered under a skirt or a tunic. When I see some fashion bloggers wearing them with short shirts, I cringe. Then I close the tab.ReplyDelete
please tell me she was wearing underwear!ReplyDelete
I think there is a difference between leggings and tights, and the general rule is that leggings are to be worn with something much longer. Yikes!ReplyDelete

Oh yes, her thong covered a ton. It was so hard to wrap my brain around simply because this woman was obviously trying to put effort into her outfit.ReplyDelete
- RachelsSLNovember 23, 2011 at 2:16 PM
I'm so glad I didn't miss the memo on this one where someone had decided this was stylish. I was definitely beginning to feel like Dorothy just after she'd landed in Oz where things just weren't quite right but everyone around me was acting like it was.ReplyDelete

So with the upcoming content patch about to drop, I'm sure that a lot of us are just raring to go. Are you all set to invade the Dragon Soul and punch Deathwing in the face?
…If you didn't catch that reference, there's a certain quest in the Badlands that you missed that you MUST go back and take a look at.
So with the patch ready to drop, there are a number of things that you can be doing to get ready for it. They're the same things that we go through with every major content patch but it doesn't hurt to recap on some of the procedures that will make the transition a little easier.
First things first, if we're not already, we should be taking this time before the big patch to gather resources. The first thing you're going to want to gather a bit of is some extra gold. There's no telling what need you might have for a bit of extra gold when a new patch drops. There are either new crafting patterns to take care of or the raid progression can take quite a toll on the consumables. Making sure to have a bit of extra cash flow before each big content patch can help to smooth some of the unexpected rough patches.
On that note, the other thing that it would be good to stock up on are consumables and the materials to make them. Especially in the wake of the inevitably higher number of deaths and wipes with new boss encounters. Having the extra materials on hand will save you the time and ease up on your burden when you unexpectedly run out and have to farm more.
Not having to take the time to farm up or burn cash to gather up more flaskand potion materials can make it easier on your raid nights, take away a stress factor that you wouldn't otherwise have.
These can help you indirectly but the biggest boost to your progression on the eve of a new content patch comes from building up an alt or two.
With the new patch comes a big batch of new pieces of gear that you can buy with points. Normally, you're limited by the weekly points limit. You can only buy a certain amount of pieces at any given week due to the limit of how many points you can gather but if you have a couple of alts that are capable of running the heroic dungeons, you can use them to farm up points alongside your main and then use them to buy a few pieces.
While there are a lot of pieces that are Bind on Pickup, there are also a number of pieces that are Bind on Equip. While they may be upgrades for your main, most of the bigger upgrades will be the BoP gear. So while your main buys the BoP gear, your alt can gather the points to buy the BoE gear for your main, letting you gear up the important character much quicker.
So start farming up and get ready with those alts because as soon as the Dragon Soul content patch drops, we'll be jumping right back into helpful hints for the monsters and bosses that you'll encounter therein.

Ryder Cup hero Walton raring for return
As we explained when he turned 50 on March 28, Philip Walton can't wait to prove himself on the European Senior Tour when he makes his debut in the Mallorca Senior Open next month. The Europen Tour catches up with the Dubliner:
Philip Walton is best remembered as the man who sealed victory for Bernard Gallacher's European team at The 1995 Ryder Cup, and the Irishman is hoping to rekindle that competitive spirit when he makes his Senior Tour debut at the Mallorca Open Senior next month.
Walton, a three time winner on The European Tour, turned 50 in March and, after seven years away from competitive golf on the continent, is primed for a return to action in the Senior Tour's first tournament of the season at Pula Golf Club.
The Dubliner has been working tirelessly on his game and fitness over the last few months and his excitement for his Senior Tour debut is palpable.
"I've been a long time out of it really," said Walton. "I just can't wait to get going now. I'm really looking forward to it.
"It's a second chance for me and that's the way I'm looking at it, so I want to make the most of it. I played on the Irish PGA and Pro-Am circuit for a few years and did quite well, but I had got used to the traveling lifestyle of The European Tour and I've missed it."
One thing Walton is particularly looking forward to is reuniting with all the friends he made during his 22 year career on The European Tour, with former Ryder Cup team-mates Mark James, Costantino Rocca, Sam Torrance and Ian Woosnam all Senior Tour regulars.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing a lot of the lads again," he said. "It's crazy that I haven't seen any of them in so long, but I'm good friends with Stephen McAllister and Eamonn Darcy and a few more of the lads so it'll be great to be back in their company week by week.
"I know it'll be a little bit more relaxed than before, but there are some top class players out there on the Senior Tour with the likes of Peter Fowler, Barry Lane, Andrew Oldcorn – there are so many of them - so I know it won't be easy.
"But hopefully some of the lads will be scared of me now, being one of the new fellows out there, and they know I was a tough nut back in my day. I suppose they're all tough nuts really though, so it's just case of cracking them."
Mallorca is the first stop for Walton and having played there a number of times during his professional career, he knows what to expect.
Expectations of immediate personal success are being kept in check for the time being, but he feels that if he starts the season well, he could be in with a chance of beating players such as McAllister, Malcolm Mackenzie, Miguel Angel Martin and Philip Golding in what is sure to be a closely fought race for the 2012 Rookie of the Year award.
"I've played Pula Golf Club a few times down the years and I know it can get really tough if the wind picks up," he said. "There are a lot of elevated greens so that'll make it tough in windy conditions. I haven't had great results there to be honest, but this time out it will hopefully be a bit more relaxed and I'm looking forward to it.
"It is hard to say how I'll fare. I'll just see how I go at the start. I think if I play well in the first couple of months, a couple of top 20 or top ten finishes to start, then I'll have a good season, but it will probably take a few weeks. I just hope I can find that gritty competitive spirit that I had before."

Over the past couple weeks, numerous reports have surfaced about former Knick coach and president of basketball operations Isiah Thomas being related in potential New York Knick related activities. There have been reports that he has been trying to help recruit Hornets free agent to be Chris Paul to New York as well as reports that he has been working out Amare Stoudemire at FIU. So what really is going on here?
Thomas is absolutely involved with the Knicks. His love affair with Knicks owner James Dolan has not stopped since Thomas was forced out by the NBA. Dolan tried to get Thomas on as a consultant but that was rejected by the league because Thomas is currently the head coach at FIU. The same FIU where Amar'e Stoudemire has been working out this offseason. The same FIU that is hosting a street game next month in which Stoudemire, Melo and Chris Paul are all participating in (Thomas favorite Eddy Curry is also expected to play in that game).
These are not coincidences, Isiah "Zeke" Thomas is absolutely involved with the New York Knicks. This should not come as a surprise to Knick fans because he never left! He has been in Dolan's ear throughout this entire "post-Isiah" period. Thomas helped recruit Melo and Amar'e to New York and he was advising Dolan throughout the Melo trade. Hell, it was probably Isiah's idea to throw in 4 starters and a plethora of draft picks. Maybe we give Dolan too much credit for undercutting Donnie Walsh's negotiations, it was probably Isiah! After all he never did know how to manage a team. We only had a 130 million dollar payroll when he was here. He is a god awful executive mind. Did we have some talent? Sure but every team has some talent, we had a few talented players but the team was an absolute joke. Between his point guard Stephon Marbury and his retarded antics, his center Eddy Curry weighing 400 pounds, the Renaldo Balkman pick, his drug overdose, and his sex scandal that cost the Knicks 11.6 million, Isiah Thomas single handedly destroyed his reputation and the reputation of the Knicks in terms of on-court success and off-court class. Any logical human being with half a brain would ban this guy for being within 500 feet of any member the Knicks organization and 10,000 feet away from Madison Square Garden. But James Dolan is no logical human being, he is an absolute moron. Not only did his highly publicized friendship with Thomas continue but it continued to flourish. After Thomas was released by Donnie Walsh, Dolan tried to bring him back as a consultant. Behind the scenes with no official team role, Thomas was brought in to help recruit Amar'e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony. Now Thomas is helping to recruit Chris Paul to the Knicks.
This is all part of Thomas' master plan to return to Madison Square Garden in 2012. By recruiting the 3 superstars to the Knicks, Thomas hopes to re-ingratiate himself to the fans of New York. Then, once the contract of Mike D'Antoni has expired after next season, Thomas will swoop in and return to the perch that he believes should still be his. To be honest, this is probably the smartest thing that he has ever thought of. Obviously most fans will still dislike him, but I believe if Chris Paul is a Knick in 2012 many fans will forgive Thomas for his 5 years of mismanagement, losing and off-court problems.
Overall, this entire plan is scary as hell. The Knicks are on the path to success and grabbing Isiah Thomas will absolutely kick the Knicks right into the bushes. He was never a good coach, he has no place in any NBA organization and the only person blind enough to see that is Dolan. Hopefully, my assumptions are incorrect but I have a bad feeling that I am correct and we will see the man they call "Zeke" return to the garden in 2012.Follow @tarmosino

3 N.D. teachers suspended after child left in cold
FARGO, N.D. — Three teachers at a North Dakota YMCA have been suspended amid allegations they made a 4-year-old boy stand outside in the cold as punishment.
A parent spotted the boy without a coat outside the Y Learning Center on Monday morning in Fargo, KVLY-TV reported. The boy allegedly told the parent that he was being punished. The parent, in turn, called police.
YMCA staff told the TV station that the teachers were having trouble getting the child to put on his outdoor apparel, so they took the child and his clothes outside and "had him stand on his snowsuit and were waiting for him to be ready to put it on."
The teachers did not follow proper procedure, officials said.
"Our policy specifically states that we do not use any kind of punishment that would take away warmth, food, sleep, that kind of thing," YMCA Vice President Lorrie Thoemke said.
The center aims to let children play outside every day unless wintry conditions are too extreme. Early Monday, temperatures were in the midteens.
KVLY reported that two children have been pulled from the program — the boy who was left outside and the child of the parent who reported spotting him.

Chapter 22
Lower Mississippi Riverine ForestOne Section has been delineated in this Province:
234A-- Mississippi Alluvial Basin.This Section is located in the south-central conterminous States, including parts of Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The area of this Section is about 44,300 mi2 (114,700 km2).
Section 234A--Mississippi Alluvial BasinGeomorphology. This Section is in the Coastal Plains geomorphic province. The predominant landform consists of flat, weakly to moderately dissected alluvial plains. The plains were formed by deposition of continental sediments into a submerged, synclinal trough, which was later exposed by sea level subsidence. Elevation ranges from 0 to 660 ft (0 to 200 m). Local relief in most of the Section ranges from 0 to 100 ft (0 to 30 m).
Lithology and Stratigraphy. Rock units formed during the Cenozoic Era. About 20 percent consists of Tertiary marine deposits (lignitic sandy and argillaceous deposits). The remainder consists of about equal amounts of Quaternary marine deposits and glacial outwash. Recent alluvium consists of silt deposited during floods.
Soil Taxa. Soils are Aquepts, Aqualfs, Aquents, Udolls, and Udalfs. Haplaquepts, Ochraqualfs, Fluvaquents, Natraqualfs, Ochraqualfs, and Hapludalfs are found in back-swamp areas and older natural levees. Dystrochrepts, Udifluvents, and Fluvaquents occur in smaller areas. Hydraquents and Medisaprists are in southern Louisiana. These soils have a udic or aquic moisture regime, a thermic temperature regime, and montmorillonitic or mixed mineralogy. Soils, which formed in alluvium, are deep, medium textured, and have adequate or excessive moisture available for vegetation during the growing season.
Potential Natural Vegetation. K\"uchler classified vegetation as southern floodplain forest and oak-hickory forest. The predominant vegetation form is cold-deciduous, alluvial broadleaf forest, with small areas of cold-deciduous, broad-leaved forest on upland sites. The main cover type is oak-gum-cypress, where main species are Nuttall oak, water oak, laurel oak, cherrybark oak, cottonwood, sycamore, hackberry, red and silver maple, and baldcypress. The oak-hickory cover type consists of post oak, bur oak, northern red oak, black oak, and white oak.
Fauna. The elk, mountain lion, wolf, Carolina parakeet, and ivory-billed woodpecker once inhabited this Section. Presently, the fauna include white-tailed deer, black bear, bobcat, gray fox, raccoon, cottontail rabbit, gray squirrel, fox squirrel, striped skunk, swamp rabbit, and many small rodents and shrews. The turkey, bobwhite, and mourning dove are game birds in various parts of this Section. In wetlands, ibises, cormorants, herons, egrets, and kingfishers are common. Songbirds include the red-eyed vireo, cardinal, tufted titmouse, wood thrush, summer tanager, blue-gray gnatcatcher, hooded warbler, and Carolina wren. The herpetofauna include the box turtle, common garter snake, and timber rattlesnake.
Climate. Precipitation averages 45 to 65 in (1,150 to 1,650 mm) annually. Temperature averages 56 to 70 oF. (14 to 21 oC). The growing season lasts 200 to 340 days.
Surface Water Characteristics. This Section includes the lower part of the Mississippi River below its confluence with the Ohio River. The drainage pattern is varied, ranging from dendritic to trellis, and has developed without bedrock structural control. The principal river draining this and adjoining Sections is the Mississippi. The Red River enters the Mississippi near the southern edge of this Section. Many oxbow-type natural lakes have formed along the Mississippi River. Extensive wetlands and backswamps characterize this Section.

VALLEY CITY (NewsDakota.com)--In one of North Dakota's small towns, known as the "Central City", a golfing gem is being uncovered.
The excavation of that gem has been rapid the past two seasons.
There's nothing small-town about Carrington's Crossroads Golf Course, and the state's golf community has noticed. The 18-hole, par 72, 6,855 yard course has drawn the attention of golfers that spend almost all of their time at the biggest names in golf courses the state has to offer.
In 2011 alone, the course has hosted a full Eastern Dakota Conference (EDC) boys meet, been named as a possible neutral site for future EDC regional meets, and hosted the Class "A" East-West crossover that involved 15 of the state's 19 Class "A" teams.
This past weekend, Crossroads hosted the North Dakota Golf Association's (NDGA) Three-Man Best Ball event, inviting some of the top golfers from all over the state for a season finale to the NDGA's schedule.
Course manager Renee Johnson heard the same feedback the course received after many of the other big-town events it has hosted. "They were surprised that a small town could have such a quality golf course, and that we can maintain it," she reflects about the weekend.
This coming Sunday and Monday the course will again welcome an out-of-the-ordinary event, as Jamestown College will host it's Jimmie Invitational at Crossroads. The event had to be moved from the Jamestown Country Club, due to flood damage from the swelling James River during the late summer.
All of this for a course that has yet to celebrate it's 10th birthday.
The course began as a nine-hole loop with a make-shift shack that functioned as a clubhouse in 2003. A year later, the course added it's back nine holes, a wide-open section of holes where a spectator can see at least six holes at once. A full-service clubhouse, larger than many even comparable or even larger-sized towns, also opened in 2004.
Located at the intersections of U.S. Highways 52 and 281 and North Dakota Highway 200, three main thoroughfares to and through the state's central region, Crossroads had an ideal location for success, 125 miles from Bismarck, 128 miles from Minot, 135 miles from Grand Forks, and 141 miles from Fargo.
A commitment to hospitality seems to have sealed the deal.
"We feature the food that groups want, we make sure we have the staff to host them. We are there to greet them when they arrive. We just enjoy the people that come here, and they are so respectful," explains Johnson.
Approaching the business from a hospitality standpoint was key for Crossroads. The course is open to the public, and receives no taxpayer support in it's funding, making the course totally funded through memberships and greens fees.
Crossroads' board of directors chose to practice reciprocity to attract members, granting large discounts to golfers that choose to add a membership at Crossroads to one they maintain at home.
"We have picked up members from a wide area, all the way to the Mayville and Finley areas, as well as our area, due to our discounts. Members at other courses pay $200 for a single and $300 for a family here," says Johnson
The successful run really got a boost starting in June of last season. The course played host to the Class "B" state meet. As the state's best small-town high school golfers found a challenging course and an inviting atmosphere over two beautiful weather days, the word began to slip out of the city limits.
Last spring, EDC coaches moved a full conference regular-season meet to Crossroads. When they met at the regional meet at Kings Walk in Grand Forks this past June, the coaches voted to accept the course, along with Dakota Winds near Hankinson, as two neutral-site courses that could host the EDC meet.
"The players found a great challenge when they were there, and the hospitality was terrific," explained Fargo Davies head coach Steve Kennedy, referring to the regular season meet that was held at Crossroads.
While the EDC coaches are hoping for a two-day conference meet in the future, a format that would keep them on an EDC course, a large majority of the coaches agreed that Crossroads would be a quality host for a one-day meet, which would have to be held at a neutral site.
Carrington again played host to the State "B" boys meet this summer. Class "A" girls teams then followed suit, hosting their East-West crossover on August 20th.
In terms of a challenge, the course measured up, with Fargo Davies, the champion of the Class "A" crossover, finishing just three shots lower at Crossroads than their score at Rose Creek 11 days later, and five shots better higher than their appearance at Devils Lake Town and Country Club two days later.
Hosting the NDGA event this past weekend topped off a truly impressive year for a course in the town of 2,065 residents, and according to groundskeeper Dale Eggers, the course got all the attention at a fortunate time.
"The fairways have been remarkable. The greens have been nice and fast. The course has really stayed in great shape this year. We've heard nothing negative at all," says Eggers.
The word-of-mouth from golfing circles led Crossroads' next event to Carrington, as it was the first course Jamestown College head coach Tyler Bormann heard about when he began looking for an alternative for this weekend's meet.
"Ryan Opdahl, the pro shop manager at Jamestown Country Club, told me to take a look at Crossroads. He said Ranee does a great job and the course was a good challenge," says Bormann.
Even before the event, Bormann has joined the chorus singing the courses praises as the 2011 season draws to a conclusion.
"They have been very hospitable," says Bormann. "I'm very impressed with how organized they are. They've done a terrific job."
Johnson says the success of the course has been a total team effort. "Our board of directors are very helpful, whether it's planting flowers, working inside the clubhouse, planting or cleaning trees, and they volunteer their services," says Johnson.
Truly a small-town recipe for success, now with big-city attention

Evolution of river systems
S.D. Willett et al/Science 2014, Courtesy of Science/AAAS
A river's erosion downward and across a landscape is based on a variety of factors, including terrain steepness and the arrangement of tributaries. In the March 7 Science, geophysicist Sean Willett of ETH Zurich and colleagues boiled down these factors into a single parameter called χ (the Greek letter chi), which typically becomes larger as distance from a river's mouth increases.

Sintesi dell'editore
National Book Award, Fiction, 2008Inspired by a near-mythic event on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the 20th century, Shadow Country re-imagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson, who drives himself relentlessly toward his own violent end at the hands of neighbors who mostly admired him, in a killing that obsessed his favorite son.
Shadow Country transverses strange landscapes inhabited by Americans of every provenance and color, including the black and Indian inheritors of archaic racism that "still casts its shadow over the nation."
"Magnificent and capacious....the book took my sleeve and like the ancient mariner would not let go....a breathtaking saga." ( Los Angeles Times)
"[Watson] comes across as nothing short of iconic....it's difficult to find another figure in American literature so thoroughly and convincingly portrayed." ( Publishers Weekly)

Engrossing, Rich and Powerful
Shadow Country is a superb book. From what I understand, it is a compilation of a trilogy surrounding the life and death of Edgar J Watson, a real-life legendary character of the American south around the late 1800's to his death in 1910. As in a trilogy, this book is comprised of three distinct parts, beginning at the end with Watson's death at the hands of a vigilante mob. The rest of the book is back story; with the first part describing Watson as told by the various people who knew him (many of these people participated in his murder/execution). The second part is told after the fact by Watson's beloved younger son, Lucius, who devotes his life in vain to uncovering the real truth about the life and death of his father. Was he the loving father Lucius knew or the reputed murderous monster?
Parts one and two, painting a vivid picture of the man and history of the region, raise as many questions as it provides answers until finally, part three, where autobiographically told by Edgar Watson himself everything is revealed. Part three, could easily stand alone as a complete novel.
This book is wonderfully written and masterfully read. It has everything; rich descriptions of the landscapes, people, and history, and plausible dialog complete with the dialects of the antebellum and postwar south. It pulls no punches when it comes to slavery and racism, so if you are not willing to hear the "N" word contextually used, be duly warned.
Peter Matthiessen brings the places and time to life. His description of the landscape after a hurricane is perfect. Perhaps living in South Florida made the story more real for me. For example, I have been to Arcadia many times. To this day it is not hard to imagine it as the old-west saloon-filled cattle town of a century past. Certainly there is a lot of history of the Everglades and man's attempts to rape this last frontier.

A great American Novel
(I have read this book and have read the Watson Trilogy multiple times, but I have just now found this exciting audio program.)
This is a great book!
The Watson Trilogy is superb and this "retelling" is excellent.
There is so much here: the ecological history of a rich frontier wilderness; a disturbing depiction, which is palpable, of the psychological and physical brutality of turn-of-the-century racism in the deep south; and the strangely affecting tragedy of an ambitious and determined man who murdered too often and sometimes too easily trying to mark his way through the wild lands into the modern era.
There's real beauty here, too. It is cast with humor and poetry, and it is a tale told through manifold voices recalling Watson in the Ten Thousand Islands, then via his son investigating the history to find peace of mind, and finally, the intense first-person narration of Watson himself.
This is Matthiessen's masterwork. And that an artist of his caliber has rewritten an already superb trilogy (taking nine years to do so!), bringing the story back into the tight focus he intended in the first place, and for it to be this exceptional novel, places it securely on the shelf of great American Fiction--alongside Twain, Faulkner and Morrison (in my canon!). <i>Shadow Country</i> is a triumphant accomplishment! Bravo, Mr. Matthiessen!
The audio narrator of this novel seems quite capable and I look forward to revisiting this complex, enriching, and entertaining novel audibly!

You Can Feel Florida On Each Page
This powerful book evokes Florida in a way very few other books have done for me. Up until now my favorite writer to have really captured the sense of place of Florida was Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings. Matthiessen's writing picks apart and examines the story from multiple angles with no stone left unturned. There is so much detail, so much feeling reduced exactingly to words that at times it boggled the mind. I felt transported to the swampy waterways and could feel the heat.
I listened piecemeal--dividing the book up into sections and listening to each separately. After a section I would pause and go off and read several other books--taking a break. Even listening this way I was drawn back and kept returning to hear more. It took me a good long while to finish the book. I might have preferred that the volume was left in its three parts as first published. I know Matthiessen wanted it published as a whole in one book--but it was very long.
I agree with another reviewer that listening is better than reading with this book. Heald's narration captures the essence and feeling of the time in which the story took place. It was beautifully read. Worth the time.

Casts a very loooong shadow
I often gravitate toward very long audiobooks since I listen with such frequency I feel like I'm definitely getting my money's worth. No argument here on this score, defintely a great word per penny ratio. But the very length of this book has become an internal argument in my mind -- is it just too long? Is it fair to even think about length when it concerns a huge life, multiple characters, or even any life if the author can keep the reader engaged? I'm not sure yet. The book is told from multiple points of view, but all of it centers around one character, EJ Watson. The writing is superb, the narrative at time does drift, but I think the author has done an excellent job of telling the same story from several viewpoints and keeping the telling of the story-- though we know the ending again and again and again -- fresh. I truly think the EXCEPTIONAL narrator keeps the story alive however. I have more than a sneaking suspicion that if I had picked this book up to read, it would not have held my interest. The author owes a lot of credit to the narrator on this one for making the book really come alive, and adding another dimension to the telling that a reader of printed word just would not get. Anyway, if you want a nice long read, an excellent narrator, and really some fine writing you will get it here, but if you're about listening for entertainment only this probably isn't the book for you.

Historic and Powerful
The writing and the story is worth 5 stars, in my opinion. The length of the audiobook and the vast amt of characters could have tipped my rating to less than 5, but this is such an amazing book, that anything less than 5 stars (for me) would not do it justice. However, I can understand how it would not be liked as well by everyone. I like history and to be enveloped in a strong story, which this book provided. I didn't know the author and at the end, I looked him up in Wikipedia and found out that this story was originally published as a trilogy. Even though it was re-worked it is still very long. An aspect of the story that I really liked is that the story is told by many different people, so the reader gets the story from different perspectives - there is more that cold be said about this but don't want to give too much away.
You will be very happy with this book if you like history, aren't daunted by a numerous characters and enjoy being immersed in a powerful and compelling story. I liked it so much that I will certainly read the author's earlier book - the Snow Leopard (not avail. by audible)
I wasn't crazy about the narrator at first, but it didn't take long to get used to him and enjoy his many "characters".

Not your average "story"
If you're looking to while away some time with a pleasant or exciting "story," this is NOT the book for you. Matthiessen analyzes and re-constructs the larger-than-life figure of E.J. Watson is great detail and from many points of view. Some mysteries about Watson's life are revealed, but ultimately, many questions remain. The pioneering "settling" of the Everglades is seen for what it was: a raping and destruction of what made it unique and beautiful. It stands as an object lesson of how lands and countries are settled or subjugated. Racial injustices continue this theme of "to the victor belong the spoils." This book is filled to overflowing with characters, history, and the raw dialogue and life of another century. The narrator does a great job of delineating the myriad of different characters. A trip into the Everglades today reveals that the character of E.J. Watson still lives in the memories and folklore of present-day Florida. That was where I first heard about him, and since then I've waited for Audible to carry this book. A GREAT read, but definitely not for a reader looking only for entertainment.

It takes a while to grab you.
This is a complex tale woven together by many characters, somewhat like Rashomon on steroids. After the first thirty minutes, I contemplated dumping the book, but I was also beginning to get curious about what was going on.
Another simile is Seurat's painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte," which is made up of countless little dots of paint that all contribute their share to the whole. You don't have to remember each little tale, but the impression of them certainly builds up.
This book was drawn from a longer trilogy that tells the same story in more words. It is masterfully written, and the narration is the best I've heard for an Audible book after five years and 200 titles downloaded.

Great is the word
This is one of the great listening values in Audible, for my money. Thomas Heald is a great performer of oldtime cracker accents and the production is half the fun. Skinflint that I am I always seek out the longest reads that are still on at one credit and sometimes outsmart myself (Against the Day) and I was a bit afraid of this one because it sounded like a Faulknerian ramble through lush literary effects without much plot--which it was--but the story of this charismatic man in this bewitching place in this mythic era was just so powerful it kept pulling me along. This is one where you truly do emerge as from a long consuming dream-mare blinking at the light of day, the spell clinging as you reorient yourself reluctantly to the oridinary world. Lots of people who should know are applying the word "great" to it and it isn't misplaced.

Real Florida
Dropped me into old Florida like Marjorie Stoneman Douglas (River of Grass). As a Florida historian I was gripped by the eyes of frontier protagonists as they weaved their lives and the prejudice terror that emitted from each page. The author really did his homework. Put on your seatbelt on this one. You are in for a ride.

Better Than Expected - Learned a Lot
Would you listen to Shadow Country again? Why?
Probably - but not for a while. I actually went back a number of times to "re-listen" to stretches - got lost on names and events and such
What was one of the most memorable moments of Shadow Country?
The death scene - that happens more than once is obviously the key to the whole thing
Which scene was your favorite?
As the book draws to a close - the end of the third part - Watson reveals both his strong will and sense of humanity - the desire to be someone - to make a mark - to be more than just a human - but the realization that in the end being human is the best we can aspire to.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No - too complex - I needed to ration this out - 2-3 hour chunks. It all ties together and works very well - but I needed to time to reflect and sort out things.

A Rewarding listen
This is a wonderfully written, wonderfully narrated, epic, listen. The story of Ed Watson told from various perspectives including, most tellingly, his own. It's story is well covered in the synopsis and other reviews i just want to express my gratitude and admiration for an almost perfect marriage between author and narrator. The dizzying texture of the writing - deceptively simple but with similies and descriptions which make you gasp - combined with the multi layered tour de force of the narration make this a hugely rewarding experience.

Great Listen
Not something I would normally gravitate towards, but I found this trilogy totally captivating. You are torn between finding the main character a bullying, vengeful, "could-be" killer; then you jump back to his childhood and discover how awful it was and feel terrible pity for him.
The trilogy covers the life of Edgar Watson and his family, living in the early 1900s, trying to survive by producing sugar cane but thwarted at every turn by weather, poor soil, racism and economic climates.
It's a part of history I knew very little about, but will look into more of Matthiessen's novels and indeed, that era.

Brilliant narration by Anthony Heald
My only criticism was with the production of the book, the sound was very low & I had to turn my headphones up much
Louder than normal

beautifully written but sprawling
This is formed of 3 books, the first I loved. Slow, dark and menacing, with a framing device that works well.
The second, I felt was plotless and miandering. I almost gave up as I felt it was pointless and 40h is a big commitment.
The third, I really enjoyed and it is a fitting conclusion to the trilogy.
So 2 out of 3 ain't bad if you can get through book 2. I would have voted this a 4.5 overall / 4 story if it wasn't for book 2

Recently I read the chapter "Doctrines in Categorical Logic" by Kock, and Reyes in the Handbook of Mathematical Logic. And I was quite impressed with the entire chapter. However it is very short, and considering that this copy was published in 1977, possibly a bit out of date.
My curiosity has been sparked (especially given the possibilities described in the aforementioned chapter) and would like to know of some more modern texts, and articles written in this same style (that is to say coming from a logic point of view with a strong emphasis on analogies with normal mathematical logic.)
However, that being said, I am stubborn as hell, and game for anything.
So, Recommendations?
Side Note: More interested in the preservation of structure, and the production of models than with any sort of proposed foundational paradigm

/Zg (Generate Function Prototypes)
Creates a function prototype for each function defined in the source file, but does not compile the source file.
The function prototype includes the function return type and an argument type list. The argument type list is created from the types of the formal parameters of the function. Any function prototypes already present in the source file are ignored.
The list of prototypes is written to standard output. You may find this list helpful to verify that actual arguments and formal parameters of a function are compatible. You can save the list by redirecting standard output to a file. Then you can use #include to make the list of function prototypes a part of your source file. Doing so causes the compiler to perform argument type checking.
If you use the /Zg option and your program contains formal parameters that have struct, enum, or union type (or pointers to such types), the declaration of each struct, enum, or union type must have a tag (name). In the following sample, the tag name is MyStruct.
// Zg_compiler_option.c
// compile with: /Zg
typedef struct MyStruct { int i; } T2;
void f2(T2 * t) {}
/Zg is deprecated in Visual C++ 2005. The Visual C++ compiler plans to remove support for older, C-style code. For more information, see Deprecated Compiler Options in Visual C++ 2005.

Jerod Lowe arrives in court wearing a blazer, bow tie and slacks. He reviews the docket and prepares for the lineup of offenders.
The young prosecutor eventually wraps up his cases and heads home. It�s a school night after all.
Lowe is a senior at Forestview High School. For four years Lowe has been an integral part of a team � Gaston County�s Teen Court.
He and his teammates meet twice a month to resolve cases against their peers.
Their efforts ease stress on the court system and have garnered state recognition.
The experience also pointed Lowe toward a career in law.
The defendants
A student between 12 and 18 who is accused of a misdemeanor charge is eligible for teen court.
With teen court, there�s no possibility of jail time or probation. But there is work to be done, according to Gaston County Teen Court program coordinator Wendy Whisnant.
To appear in teen court, the offender must be referred through the court or school system. And the person must admit guilt.
The court appearance that follows is to establish a punishment that will include community service, an essay and sitting on a jury.
A jury decides how many community service hours and how much jury time will be required at the conclusion of the trial.
If the teen successfully completes the �sentence� within 90 days, charges are dismissed.
�This allows them to continue on with college applications, employment applications or military service without a public criminal conviction on their record,� said Whisnant.
Court staff
Students in the Teen Court program volunteer their time to fill most court staff positions � clerk, bailiff, prosecutor, defense attorney.
A Gaston County judge or attorney sits on the bench to preside over the cases.
Lowe is the team�s lead prosecutor.
He spends about an hour reviewing his cases before the hearings. His preparation used to take longer, but now that Lowe�s a four-year veteran of the process he has it down pat.
Steven Allen also sits in the prosecutor�s chair. The Gaston Day School junior keeps an organized notepad in front of him, listing key points along with opening and closing statements.
Allen started with teen court two years ago. He hopes the experience will help him achieve his goal of becoming a corporate attorney.
Whisnant has high hopes for all of her volunteers.
�My absolute dream would be to walk into a Gaston County courtroom one day and see one of these students as a presiding District Court judge,� said Whisnant.
Case load
Two rooms fill quickly during Teen Court sessions.
Working both at once moves more cases through the system, said Whisnant.
The program, which started in Gaston County in 2001, takes on more cases each year, according to Whisnant.
The program processed 1,061 cases from July 2001 to June 2012.
The team started by disposing of 64 cases the first year. Last year Whisnant said the local teen court handled 132 cases.
Students who volunteer with the program work year-round. There�s no summer vacation from teen court.
�We don�t take breaks because if we do our dockets will get too filled up,� Whisnant said.
Whisnant estimated that 90 to 95 percent of teens fulfill the requirements of their sentences.
If students don�t complete their programs, charges are reinstated and will go through the Gaston County court system.
Gaston County District Attorney Locke Bell praised the program.
�Anything we can do to help teenagers straighten up and fly right, I support,� said Bell.
Award-winning team
Whisnant works with her team of teens to prepare for court.
She dotes on their volunteer spirit and their award-winning talents.
The Gaston team has proven a force at state competitions � taking top honors two years in a row.
The N.C. Teen Court Summit is held each year. Nine teams competed recently in Carolina Beach.
Teams were given a case scenario for the timed competition.
This year, the local group won first place as well as individual awards for top clerk in trial, defense attorney, bailiff and prosecuting attorney.
The competition team includes Christian Mathis from East Gaston High School, Frances Quinn from Piedmont Charter School, Steven Morris, from Highland School of Technology, Dakota Whisnant from Bessemer City High School, Steven Allen from Gaston Day School, Jared Lowe and Alex Szucs, both from Forestview High School.
�Best of the best�
Whisnant virtually parents her teen court team, but willingly tosses them out of the nest once the docket is called.
She has full confidence in the high schoolers� abilities to dress appropriately, arrive punctually and act professionally in the courtroom.
And she relies on those kids to find good replacements when they graduate from high school.
�These kids are the best of the best,� she said. �I always tell my seniors when they graduate, �I want one just like you.��
The program is paid for by the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council through the Alliance for Children and Youth/Communities in Schools.
Local prosecutors and defense attorneys lend a hand to train the young court staff.
Lowe described his four years in the program as valuable and eye-opening.
He said he�s been shocked to see some of his fellow students wind up in the defendant�s chair. And he�s glad he stepped outside of his comfort zone to take the prosecutor�s seat. He hopes to go to law school in the future.
�I probably never would�ve dreamed of doing something like that,� he said.

Hugh Chavez was laid to rest today in Caracas. Well, not exactly laid to rest, since news reports indicate that his body will preserved for indefinite public display like Lenin's. But they did have a funeral. Who came? Something like a dozen heads of state, including Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, seen here entering the funeral:
Raul Castro was there. Fidel, happily, couldn't make it. Two Democratic Congressmen, Gregory Meeks of New York and former Rep. William Delahunt of Massachusetts, officially represented the United States. Unofficially, Chavez fans Jesse Jackson and Sean Penn showed up to represent the American Left:
CNN gave Jackson space to write about Chavez and American-Venezuelan relations:
[T]hrough his fourth re-election in January — and while he was in Cuba fighting the cancer that would take his life — [Chavez's] focus was on forging a new socialist Venezuela.
This won many friends and advocates at home and abroad, especially among Venezuela's and the hemisphere's poorest populations.
That strikes me as unusually candid.
Other world powers demonized Chavez and sought to ostracize him, a la Cuba's Fidel Castro, on a global scale.
But I believe peaceful, constructive negotiation should carry the day over isolation and demonization.
That's why I visited Venezuela in 2005, just after the Rev. Pat Robertson called for the assassination of Chavez. He inflamed a chorus of extremist voices in seeking a way to "deal with Chavez."
That type of hot rhetoric serves no productive purpose. …Let's put an end to hot rhetoric, demonization and policies of isolation.
Hmm. "Hot rhetoric." Hmm. "Demonization." Hmm. Does Jackson mean literal demonization, like when Chavez called George Bush "the Devil" in a speech at the United Nations? No, of course not. Jackson was just speaking metaphorically!

It seems everyday there is some sort of a "tax and doom."
Email that circles the world with lightning speed. And everyone states that all of the "facts" are accurate. Today I need to correct one that has been circulating for more than two years. When the new health care bill was passed, it was noted there was going to be a new 3.8 percent "Sales Tax" on all real estate transactions. There was a belief that if you sold your house in 2013 for $400,000 for instance, you would pay an income tax of $15,200. This is utterly false.
The law stated that in the event a taxpayer sold a personal residence that he lived in for two out of the last five years, tax would be imposed on a profit in excess of a stipulated threshold with no income restrictions. For single filers this cutoff is $250,000 and for joint returns the amount is increased to $500,000. Any profit beneath these amounts is excluded from taxable income. Under the new law, taxpayers having income levels of $200,000 for a single person or $250,000 jointly, the profit made on the sale of property in excess of the original level, would generate a new tax. Confused yet?
Here's how it works. Hypothetically, a married couple filing a joint return earning in excess of $250,000 lived in their personal residence for two of the last five years, sells their house for $700,000. Their basis was $300,000 so the profit is $400,000. This gain would not be considered taxable and the surtax would not be charged. Another couple sells their house for $950,000 and the cost basis was $400,000. The gain of $50,000 in excess of the plateau would then have an additional tax of $1,900 imposed based on the 3.8 percent rate. In addition the regular capital gain rate of 15 percent would still be charged as before this bill was passed. In the event that a rental or vacation home was sold, this exemption of $500,000 does not apply and regardless of what the profit would be, the surcharge would be asserted. Based on publications by various realty organizations however, the medium national sales are below $200,000 so the tax would apply to a very small base.
The second leg of the 3.8 percent tax
There will be a special Medicare tax of 3.8 percent on unearned income on single taxpayers with modified adjusted gross income of $200,000 and on those filing jointly of $250,000. This unearned income also known as investment income, consists of rents, annuities, interest, dividends, capital gains but not tax free interest. Pensions and other payouts from retirement funds are not included. The taxable portion of the income represents the lesser of the excess of the threshold or the unearned income. So if a couple has a AGI of $280,000 which includes investment income of $50,000, the taxable portion would be $30,000. ($280,000-$250,000 = $30,000; or $50,000 whichever is the least.) The additional tax at the rate of 3.8 percent would add another $1,140 to the overall liability.
Additionally, tax on income earned from wages will increase from 1.45 percent to 2.35 percent and self employment will also increase from 2.9 to 3.8 percent. There is no cap on this type of income. No new taxes?
Observation: There was a time when you saved up for your old age; now you save up for April 15.

Maryland Natural Resources Police (NRP) charged four men on Saturday with overfishing and with catching 131 undersized striped bass in Dorchester County.
An officer stopped a pick-up truck pulling a boat at about 4:15 a.m. after it crossed the center line on Route 335 on Hooper Island. During an inspection of the coolers in the boat, the officer found 138 striped bass, all but seven of them below the 18-inch minimum size.
All four men were charged with possession of more than 10 striped bass over the limit and possession of more than 10 striped bass under 18 inches: Jose Adelso Hernandez Orellana, 43, of Manassas, Va., Jose Luis Reyes, 40, of New Carrollton, Ruben Lopez Valle, 45, of Germantown, and Rene Obdulio Pacheco Rivera, 31, of Oxon Hill.
The citations require a court appearance. A trial date has been set for February 19 in Dorchester District Court.
In addition, Orellana, the truck driver, was issued a motor vehicle warning.
Rivera was found guilty last year in Dorchester District Court of possessing undersized striped bass. Orellana was found guilty in Charles County District Court of crabbing violations in 2009, court records show.
NRP urges citizens who see conservation violations, maritime emergencies and other law enforcement issues to call its communication hotline at 800-628-9944.

I have lots of mail and attachments going back over the last three plus years and the backups etc are getting unwieldy. Is there a way of archiving older stuff so it can be searched if and when necessary? I can't get rid of the old mail as I refer back to it quite often.
Any thoughts appreciated.
