Tanner Cameron's voice echoed throughout the ballroom at Baker University Center as she belted out the lyrics of Ariana Grande's "Almost Is Never Enough" at the Feb. 7 Apollo Night Variety Show. Ohio University employees, students and their siblings in town for Sibs Weekend watched and ultimately decided that Cameron and her partner, Michael Matthew, had earned top honors at the event held as part of the University's Black History Month celebration.
Sponsored by the Black Student Cultural Programming Board and the University Program Council, the Apollo Night Variety Show is a talent show modeled after "Amateur Night at the Apollo," a talent competition that originated in 1934 at the Apollo Theatre in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. Over the years, the competition has helped launch the careers of such performers as Ella Fitzgerald, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and James Brown.
OHIO's version of the competition is open to every student and all forms of art. The evening's three hosts, Brittany Artino, Kellee Perez and Derrick Holifield, explained the rules of the contest: If you like the performer, cheer. If you don't, boo. But you must allow the performer to perform for 30 seconds before deciding to cheer or boo. Performers who are booed are required to leave the stage, which only happened twice during the competition.
One by one the contestants took the stage to show off their talents. Many of the contestants, including Shoshana Blair, Stephanie Allaire, and Tanner Cameron and Michael Matthew, showed off their vocal talents. Others, including Deneisha Franklin, the MarvelOUs Dancers and a group from the Delta Zeta sorority, showed off their dance moves. And while nearly all the competitors entertained the audience with song and dance, Leon McCollum opted to share some of his poetry.
After each performance, a panel of judges featuring Darius Jenkins, Eliza Straughter, Jeffrey Billingslea and Shambrion Treadwell as well as the audience provided the performers with their honest feedback.
After each contestant had performed, the hosts asked the audience to decide by applause who should take away the evening's top prize – $200. Ultimately, Cameron and Matthew edged out vocal performance by Stephanie Allaire.
"I was so excited to have won my first Apollo competition. I came in second last year, so this is a big deal for me," said Cameron. "I could not have done it without my partner (Michael Matthew). He worked so hard and learned this piece on the piano."
With the competition over, the hosts opened the floor up to members of the audience, giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents in a 30-second freestyle performance. A high school student dazzled the audience with an effortless rap, barely pausing during his performance and walking away with first place in that competition and a cash prize.
"I thought it went very well. The students as well as the sibs in attendance had a great time," said Winsome Chunnu-Brayda, associate director of OHIO's Multicultural Programs/Multicultural Center and advisor of the Black Student Cultural Programming Board. "These events are a great a way to feature our students who are program planners."

Michelle Malkin and NewsMax falsely claimed ACORN registered accused terrorist to vote
In her October 27 nationally syndicated column, conservative pundit Michelle Malkin erroneously claimed that The Columbus Dispatch reported that the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) registered illegal alien and accused terrorist Nuradin Abdi to vote in Ohio. While The Columbus Dispatch did report that Abdi was illegally registered to vote in Ohio, the paper never reported that ACORN registered Abdi. Rather, according to the Dispatch, Abdi appears to have registered to vote at the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles.
ACORN's website describes the group as "the nation's largest community organization of low and moderate-income families."
A Nexis search revealed that The Columbus Dispatch has mentioned Abdi twice in the past 30 days: on October 24 and October 26. The October 24 article reported that Abdi was registered to vote in Ohio but did not mention ACORN. Malkin apparently based her assertion on an article published in the right-wing NewsMax Magazine (and posted on NewsMax.com on October 24) that did report that ACORN registered Abdi to vote, inaccurately citing the Dispatch, as well as an Ohio News Network TV report that mentioned both ACORN and Nuradin Abdi but made no linkage between the two.
From the NewsMax Magazine article:
Nuradin Abdi, a Somali immigrant and admitted al-Qaida member who was indicted earlier this year as part of a conspiracy to blow up the Columbus Mall, was registered to vote by the left-wing group ACORN, according to the Columbus Dispatch and the Ohio News Now TV Network.
From Malkin's October 27 column:
Last week, the Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch reported that illegal alien Nuradin Abdi -- the suspected shopping mall bomb plotter from Somalia -- was registered to vote in the battleground state of Ohio by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), a left-wing activist group.
But the October 26 Columbus Dispatch article that mentioned Abdi noted that the NewsMax Magazine report was inaccurate. According to a county election official, Abdi's "voter-registration application appears to have been taken by the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles" :
A conservative monthly magazine [NewsMax Magazine] merged part of a news article from Sunday's [Columbus] Dispatch and a television report from the Ohio News Network, a Dispatch affiliate, and inaccurately reported that a man indicted on voter-registration charges registered an accused terrorist.
NewsMax Magazine reported "Dems register al-Qaida terrorists in Ohio vote drive."
In fact, while The Dispatch found two accused terrorists are officially eligible to vote in Ohio, both of them apparently registered on their own. One is an imprisoned felon, so he will not be allowed to vote. The second is being held on immigration-violation charges and is not a U.S. citizen, also blocking him from voting.
Franklin County Elections Director Matthew Damschroder told The Dispatch that Nuradin Abdi's March 1999 voter-registration application appears to have been taken by the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles because it was typed. The Somalian swore he was a U.S. citizen on the application, an apparent violation of state and federal law.
Malkin is the author of the book In Defense of Internment: The Case for Racial Profiling in World War II and the War on Terror (Regnery, 2004).

Los Angeles — The Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at UCLA Anderson School of Management announced the winners of the 23rd annual Knapp Venture Competition, held Thursday, May 20, 2004. Six teams competed in the finals, and this year's first place prize was split between MessageRite, an e-mail and instant messaging support and storage system, and Krank, a hipster magazine directed at 12- to 17-year-old boys. Each team received $7,500 to be used to fund the launch of their businesses.
MessageRite offers a hosted, comprehensive electronic message management solution that enables organizations to use e-mail and instant messaging (IM) effectively while ensuring adherence to policies and industry regulations. MessageRite protects and supports its customers' messaging environments by additionally offering spam & anti-virus protection, content filtering, and disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities.
Team members from MessageRite include Kevin Merritt, CEO and Carey Ransom, vice president, sales & marketing, UCLA Anderson MBA '04.
The other team winner, Krank, will be the industry's only hipster publication for teenage boys, delivering a provocative lifestyle content to a generation of male consumers with bulging wallets, raging media appetites and few channels for self-expression. In addition, Krank will provide a one-stop advertising vehicle to companies currently lacking an effective, efficient way to reach this demographic.
Krank Team members include Anni Rodgers, founding editor, UCLA Anderson MBA '04; Maggie Brenneke, marketing consultant, UCLA Anderson MBA '04; Giorgi Chigogidze, financial consultant, UCLA Anderson MBA '04; Marc Olshan, marketing consultant, UCLA Anderson MBA '04; and Manuel Madrazo, financial consultant, UCLA Anderson MBA '04.
The other four teams each received $1,250 as an honorable mention, bringing the total prize money to $20,000.
Cleon "Bud" Knapp, a UCLA alumnus, and his wife Betsy financially support the competition through an endowment to the school. They have a great interest in business formation and were extremely pleased with the quality and diverse selection of business plans in this year's competition. "We have a vested interest in helping businesses, as well as the community," said Betsy Knapp. "Being able to promote their business plans helps the entrepreneurs to develop their businesses. And new businesses help the community," she added.
The Knapp Venture Competition is designed to provide UCLA Anderson students with an intensive entrepreneurial learning experience. Virtually all Anderson students will start, work in, advise or finance growing businesses at some point in their careers. Participating in the Knapp Venture Competition prepares students - whether they will be founders, financiers, consultants, marketers or general managers - for these experiences by simulating the process of starting and evaluating an entrepreneurial enterprise.
"The finalist teams really demonstrated dedication to the entrepreneurial process," said Kindra Liedtke, program manager, Harold Price Center for Entrepreneurial Studies. "From concept creation to preparing and ultimately presenting their plans, over the course of a year these teams have turned their business ideas into realities," said Liedtke.
The winners of the 2004 Knapp Venture Competition were announced at a reception following the final competition.
The Knapp Venture Competition requires that at least one member of a team be a current UCLA Anderson student. The competition allows students to discover the incredible resources that are available to them at UCLA and throughout the greater Los Angeles community. Fellow UCLA Anderson classmates and alumni, as well as graduate students in the other technical and professional schools, are all potential partners and sources of ideas.
The judges who evaluated the business plans and presentations included:
Betsy Wood Knapp, founder and CEO, BigPicture Investors, LLC
Cleon "Bud" Knapp, trustee, The Knapp Foundation
John Shields, former chairman & CEO, Trader Joes
Christopher Jennings, Roth Capital Partners
Tom Epley, chairman, Paradyne Networks

A lot of people in Geass were bad. Purely mean. There is no "grey" bastard. Please.
And frankly, people have the right to change. But they have to pay first for whatever they committed. Everything comes with a price. And one's freedom ends when it begins to encroach upon the rights of others, in whatever form that is. You pay the price, and after you are done with it, you get a clean slate to prove if you have changed your ways or not.
I guess Lulu gave everyone that clean slate cause there could not be other way for ZR to activate. Even though, this clean slate, a hell of a lot of people did not deserve it at all.

But it does not necessarily only bring good.
If Nina goes unpunished but has changed, I don't see any problem with that.
It doesn't hurt anyone that Viletta is leading a happy life now, just like it doesn't hurt anyone that C.C. wasn't brought before court.
And it also doesn't hurt anyone to let Nina go unpunished - thanks to Lelouch. Otherwise, people wouldn't have been too happy about it.

Putting "necessarily" and stuff, does not make your weak argument stronger.
I guess Viletta ruining Shirley's life {cause this we saw} and possibly killing a hell lot of Japanese civilians and she is now leading the baby-boom life is quite free-pass-fair as well. And yes, she may not harm anyone now, but past crimes just can't be erased like they never happened, for the love of Jesus.

Fine with me.
I was talking about how there is nothing wrong with people like C.C. (random example) not getting punished, because it doesn't harm anyone and because our system isn't perfect.
Therefore, I don't considere my argument "weak".
Again, I'm not saying that this would work in real life, but we are talking about the philosophy of Code Geass here, and by the end of Code Geass, no one thought much about other people's wrong doings anymore.
That's the kind of world Lelouch created - you don't have to be happy with it, but as I see it, it's certainly there.
But... oh well. Let's leave it at that.

And the system can get to work on a satisfactory level. Of course, if there are people that think there is no wrong, or right, then the system goes to hell. People are mean and good. And under certain environments, they get to express both of their natures. Too bad some people never get to find this "good-allow" environment and they only express the bad-self. Benefit of the doubt is NOT given in people that have taken others people lives. At least not before they pay.
A-a-and? S-s-o? What does this have to do with Nina's punishemnt?
Just because a man makes himself the scapegoat means everything else is butterflies and everyone gets automatically a clean slate? Are you frigging kidding me here? No srsly.

While I hated the idea of all the people hatred being focused on Lelouch, that doesn't somehow remove her actions. Lelouch dying isn't going to bring those 10 million people back to life.
The philosophy of a series should be appilicable to real life, Okouchi much like Muzishima is trying to tell me something, and like Muzishima I have the idea that Okouchi must have failed history.

About the whole clean-slate...
That's the point, isn't it? That Lulu allowed people who ARE guilty to be forgiven, as the price to peace? Many people who gained happy endings in CG2, didn't earn it. But then, lynches and animosity is what holds peace back. The Federation was going to treat Britannia and Britannians as second-class citizens as a part of their retribution if they HAD won the war directly, and in many ways it is to be expected. But that would not bring peace.
It is exactly because Britannians did whatever they wanted, that they brought the ire of the world upon them. In the end, it is not what you want, but what you need, that's important. Ougi and Villetta were no saints, but it is exactly because there IS peace, that their Union is even possible. The world does not need lynch mobs, or revenge. The "score" does not need to be settled.
No, I am not happy about Ougi. But I actually think he knows full well that the man he betrayed was also the same man who gave him everything he ever wanted. He know he was wrong about Zero, and that's good enough for me.
As for Nina?
In the end, she was not so much a crazy murderer as much as a puppet. Her first bomb didn't even detonate. It would have ended there, had not Nina been taken under the wing of a Royal who told her everything she wanted to hear. She was just another scape goat, a confused child who did all the work in order for someone else to keep his hands clean. Far too many hundreds of people were involved in the Sakuradite bomb's construction, for Nina to be taking the blame on her own.
More than anything else, I feel sorry for Nina. So much talent, so much energy, but wasn't guided by the right hands. One way or another, death isn't something that will do her any good.

If you want to punish everyone for their crimes in Code Geass, then there won't be anyone left to do the punishing.
But this "grey" thing doesn't have much to do with the matter of punishment. I originally brought it up in another context.
Because as long as you can't prove that she has told people to use her invention to kill someone, you will have trouble convincing the court that she has taken someone's life.
Her crime wasn't creating Fleya, even though it was a incredibly stupid thing of her to do. Her crime was telling people to use it in battle.
You said that the families of the people who were killed want Nina dead and that it hurts them if she isn't punished.
I pointed out that, after Emperor Lelouch, no one cares about what Nina did anymore.
You can not erase someone's past. You can only give them the chance to move on - be it in a way similar to that Lelouch chose, or through making them atone for their sins first.
Since she became stronger, she probably wasn't a racist anymore. Her attitude was born from fear and insecurity, and I doubt it survived the aftermath of the Fleya incident.
And that's all I'm saying.
The way it is, we can only guess.

We all can agree that Nina is less likeable character, be it in the beginning or in the end.
The world was based on racism towards numbers, so she hated and feared them. Then the world shifted and she had to shift to in order to fit in.
The whole part of her being stuck on avenging Euphy and causing even more death is pathetic effort. I can understand Suzaku being stuck up on vengeance, but not her.

Yes, Nina was a quite pathetic character in the beginning. But I never disliked her - she was interesting, and that's all I care about in fictional characters.
Nina didn't just want to "fit in". She truly wanted to become a better person... no matter how incredibly misguided and stupid her first attempts on that were.
And Euphie represented everything she wanted to be.

And why wouldn't Nina believe him? Schneizel was Euphie's brother, shouldn't he know Euphie more than most? And the nice man was giving her nice dresses and all the funding she needs for her research, all for Euphie's sake...
Schneizel's actions were once defended by many posters on this forum for a long time. Some even suggested that he should become Emperor for there to be a happy ending, that he was somehow the only good guy in the show. Nina, Suzaku, and Ougi, at one point or another, had all became Schneizel's shield, blocking him from blame because they each made a spectacle of themselves and diverted attention away from the puppet master.
Schneizel was punished. Very severely might I add, by Lulu's standards. He became a servant of Zero for life, using his intellect to serve the world's protector against his will.

As for Nina, I never liked her. Even in the beginning of Code Geass, she was this kind of a girl who was away in her own world and never showed a connection to her Student Council friends.
She always was kind of emo

Kallen beating him in EP 19 and tieing against him in EP 25 of R2 clearly shows that he's not invincible when faced with either a clearly superior opponent and/or pilot.

Where the people who where in charge of the Concentration camps puppets as well? It's not their fault their being controlled by Hitler!
Nina wasn't confused she wanted to commit genocide on the Japanese people! Your doing nothing but making excuses for an action that is inexcusable, she nearly caused the end of the world with her racist beliefs.
If Lelouch'd death did all that than why was Schneizel brainwashed, where his clean slate?

There was no excuse for what the Britannian people did as a whole. Would you like to punish them too? Making them slaves, perhaps? That's would just repeat every mistake all over again.
And I said Schneizel was punished unusually harshly for a reason. But then, he still lived. And the only reason to Geass him is to use his intelligence for the greater good, as it was a waste otherwise.
At some point, you have to decide if you wanted peace at all, or if you just want retribution and war. And no, you can't have both.

A Sneak Peak Behind the 2012 GRAMMY Awards
One of the tacit benefits of working for a technology provider is the access it provides to cool events. Like the 2012 GRAMMY Awards.
Here's how it came down: Our esteemed partner, AEG Digital Media, needed a way to stream and monetize its production of GRAMMY Live, a three-day webcast covering exclusive events, parties, and red carpet interviews.
Millions of viewers were anticipated, from around the world, logging in from all sorts of different devices – PCs, laptops, smart phones, tablets. That meant AEGDM needed a way to encode and deliver high-quality video, from multiple sources, to multiple devices, over a variety of available bandwidth.
Plus, the system needed to install flawlessly. There wasn't a surplus of time available for working out kinks. And, it had to be something AEGDM could depend on 100%.
Which brings us to the Cisco AS8100 Series Media Processor. That's what AEGDM – happy with previous experience with the product – chose to perform the adaptive bit rate processing and streaming critical to viewers' video experiences and so to the success of the event.
(Pardon me here, but I wouldn't be a Cisco person if I didn't mention that the AS8100 is a part of our Videoscape platform. We built Videoscape to help our content and service provider partners to reinvent their TV offerings, by combining a variety of content and applications, from any source, into an immersive, personalized experience.)
To pull back the covers a bit further. The AS8100 encoded all the video from the GRAMMY into 8 different bit rate streams. This allowed each client device to pick (behind the scenes) the optimal bit rate stream, depending on the bandwidth available to each consumer, moment by moment. That way, each and every consumer got a personalized stream right-sized to deliver them the best possible video experience.
After the AS8100 encoded the content, the streams were injected onto a content delivery network (CDN) for streaming to a worldwide, connected audience. For three full days, GRAMMY Live delivered high quality video content, to millions of viewers around the globe.
All in, a great experience, especially for us everyday people who work at a tech-heavy company, without regular access to people like Adele. Thanks again, AEGDM!
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Captain Plaid - New Approaches for New Days
I'll be cross posting the following across the five efforts. I'll keep Captain Plaid up and running via Blogger, although TypePad continues to call me. Until I announce otherwise, Captain Bama is leaving the building. For the near future at least, I'll abandon Tin Shop Tartan. I'm going to put Captain Jimi in the holster as well in that I can fight the culture war on the main blog. Marque Stuart has long been neglected and my inner Martha will need to be surpressed even further given these next few weeks ... and perhaps even months and years.
I've been slack in posting these last few days but family called. I was unexpectedly called in to help a relative with a business/building project and that has been the priority these last few days. Even though the fam might not always understand me, I am thrilled to help any of my brood. I understand Highlanders had "broken men" that had left their own Clans and joined with another in some respects, generally free to return to or assist their kin as circumstances required. Maybe that is what is going on with me? There have surely been plenty of shifts and changes for me over this summer! Here's the immediate deal ...
I'll be working for a Progressive Political Action Committee until mid-November. Reporting on Labor Day for duty, I'll be in Milwaukee for the first few days but they'll soon farm me out to at least one candidate. Although there may be some races for Governor or other state/local positions, I'm likely going to be working in one of the competitive U.S. House districts. I could be working pretty much anywhere but doubt it will be in Alabama or even the South (Florida doesn't count as the "South" does it?). Country come to town?
I'm hoping to find future work, ideally in politics/policy or some type of non-profit education, away from rural East Alabama. I'm looking in relatively urban areas along the East Coast or in the Mountain West. This PAC I'll work for next will assist in placement and yet I've got friends and contacts that are also looking and helping. The experience will hopefully teach me much plus it will admittedly help expand my resume. By the first of the year I hope to have a long term position nailed down. If anybody knows of something that might suit me please let me know. I'll work like two trojans. I can get along with most folks, even though some family and a few past "significant others" might disagree.
I'm leaving for several reasons. I've mentioned that several fundamentalist family members reacted rather harshly to a letter I sent First Baptist Church on their shilling of Amendment One, the Alabama Contitutional Amendment on banning same-sex marriages that every major paper or reasonable authority in Alabama agreed was not necessary and even foolish. Some have expressed displeasure with my Letters to the Editor to my local paper. I think I've done four since the first of the year and I've yet to have anybody say my facts were wrong. In every letter I challenged Bu$hCo (and often the GOP and conservatism and ...) so I think that was mostly the problem. Again, explain where I was wrong! Until then, and probably even after then, I feel very patriotic to have spoken out against the abuses of this worst administration ever. Additionally, my ex-wife has gone on the warpath so that my ability to have the type of relationship I'd like with my son has become more of a challenge.
I've left the classroom after five years back in the trenches frustrated with NCLB and other bureaucracy, with this last years's experience trying to teach the young adults of Heard County, Georgia being the final nail in that coffin. I was also feeling "cooped up" in that teachers are forced to work inside cement block rooms for most of their day and not always able to engage people and the community as might be ideal for any profession. I'd pondered returning to the practice of "country law", thinking a low overhead practice where I could perhaps avoid the drudgery of merely paying the bills might be rewarding. I'd thought I could do criminal defense and some worthy activism plus simply help folks but I've decided I can't remain here in rural East Alabama and keep my sanity. I'm somewhat afraid I'd wind up an angry, lonely old man. Living in this conservative backwater, even though I cherish some of the rural lifestyle, might do more harm than good. As a single man, the social scene around here is especially scary. I love the dirt and woods and critters and ..., and certainly a few dear friends, but I'm now certain I need another setting.
I've learned to live simple, and the older I get the less I seem to need, but I want "purpose" to my life. I seek intellectual and spiritual experiences. I want to work with people that generally possess a Progressive outlook. I want to find my place in a vibrant community that values learning and art and compassion and service and health and ... I've long though about building a "home" where I'll feel some measure of security and completeness. My experiences as a child, with my mother dying rather young plus several other unfortunate realities, have I think tempered me where I default to seek "place", although I'll argue this is a very Southern, perhaps even Scottish, trait.
My failed marriage and practice, one that I'll submit I've placed in the proper order, plus the resulting troubles, were certainly events I'd have just as soon avoided. Ten to seven/six years later, I'm twice the man I was and I'm just forty. I can still be a good father, even though the idea of moving away from my son is the toughest part of these changes. In fact, given the current attitudes and actions of my ex-wife, I'm perhaps making the best of a bad situation. I wanted to be near "the boy" through these early teen years but if I'm better centered by being elsewhere then more good might result.
I've really enjoyed posting on these five blogs and hope they've been valued for at least effort if not for insight. I've only done a few on Marque Stuart but I've dropped 126 posts on Captain Jimi. Tin Shop Tartan has seen 127. A total of 186 post appeared on Captain Bama. Captain Plaid has had 279. Over seven hundred posts! Many hours of mousing and keyboarding (with Blogger being bloggered often making it take longer!) but I've learned so much. I appreciate the comments and communcations. For those that have honored me with a blogroll link feel free to leave any or none. I'll continue over at Captain Plaid, with the caveat that if my new gig doesn't allow time then posts might be scarce. I anticipate a new email addy once I get settled in.
Thanks again for allowing me to share my thoughts and frustrations plus my hope for a better world. Peace ... or War!

Voting Law Changes in 2012
See our updated roundup of voting law changes in 2013.
Ahead of the 2012 elections, a wave of legislation tightening restrictions on voting has suddenly swept across the country. More than 5 million Americans could be affected by the new rules already put in place this year — a number larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections.
In October 2011, this report was the first full accounting and analysis of this year's voting cutbacks. Click here to read an up-to-date summary of both the bills that have been proposed and the legislation that has been passed since the beginning of 2011.
Read Voting Law Changes Summary (UPDATED 10/5/12)
Download the 2011 Appendix (PDF)
Executive Summary
Over the past century, our nation expanded the franchise and knocked down myriad barriers to full electoral participation. In 2011, however, that momentum abruptly shifted.
State governments across the country enacted an array of new laws making it harder to register or to vote. Some states require voters to show government-issued photo identification, often of a type that as many as one in ten voters do not have. Other states have cut back on early voting, a hugely popular innovation used by millions of Americans. Two states reversed earlier reforms and once again disenfranchised millions who have past criminal convictions but who are now taxpaying members of the community. Still others made it much more difficult for citizens to register to vote, a prerequisite for voting.
These new restrictions fall most heavily on young, minority, and low-income voters, as well as on voters with disabilities. This wave of changes may sharply tilt the political terrain for the 2012 election. Based on the Brennan Center's analysis of the 19 laws and two executive actions that passed in 14 states, it is clear that:
- These new laws could make it significantly harder for more than five million eligible voters to cast ballots in 2012.
- The states that have already cut back on voting rights will provide 171 electoral votes in 2012 – 63 percent of the 270 needed to win the presidency.
- Of the 12 likely battleground states, as assessed by an August Los Angeles Times analysis of Gallup polling, five have already cut back on voting rights (and may pass additional restrictive legislation), and two more are currently considering new restrictions.
States have changed their laws so rapidly that no single analysis has assessed the overall impact of such moves. Although it is too early to quantify how the changes will impact voter turnout, they will be a hindrance to many voters at a time when the United States continues to turn out less than two thirds of its eligible citizens in presidential elections and less than half in midterm elections.
This study is the first comprehensive roundup of all state legislative action thus far in 2011 on voting rights, focusing on new laws as well as state legislation that has not yet passed or that failed. This snapshot may soon be incomplete: the second halves of some state legislative sessions have begun.

Marooned on Hog Island
21st Amendment Brewery — San Francisco, CA
- Style: Oyster Stout
- Bitterness: Not specified
- Malts: Pale, Crystal, Rolled Oats, Carafa, Chocolate Malt, White Wheat
- Hops: Magnum, Willamette
- Special Ingredients: Hog Island Sweetwater Oyster Shells
- Sampled: 12 oz. cans
Description: "Exhausted by the tedious work and rancid beer, deck swabs O'Sullivan and Freccia abandoned Sir Francis Drake's Galleon. Days later, they washed up on a tiny island in Tomales Bay, where they encountered local oyster farmers John and Terry. Soon, these beer mutineers and oyster mercenaries were feasting on roast pig, fresh oysters and goblets of the captain's finest ale. They could think of worse fates than being MAROONED ON HOG ISLAND." — 21st Amendment Brewery
Random thoughts: Marooned on Hog Island is part of 21A's Insurrection Series. It's sold in 4-packs and is priced similarly to 21A's year-round and seasonal 6-packs. I'm drinking it as part of my series on limited release beers.
The tasting: Dark brown in color (near black), with a tan head that dissipates quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and espresso. Taste begins with deep roasted malt followed by a prominent earthy hop bitterness. In the middle, dark chocolate and light brine are present. Alcohol is noticeable in aroma and taste. Marooned on Hog Island is medium bodied, has moderate to high carbonation, and finishes slightly sweet with roasted malt and light hop bitterness.
Rating: 3 star. Good. I would drink this again if someone gives it to me. If I tasted this blind, I don't think I would have noticed the brine or oyster flavors. Regardless, this is a nice stout. I wish 21A released a version brewed without oyster shells. It would be fun to do a side-by-side comparision.
Have you been Marooned on Hog Island?

2017/01/15 Knowledge Forum
Thread: Adam Smith "The Wealth of Nations"
Book 4 Chapter 5 "Bounties"
The full title of this section is:
Begin Quotation:
Digression on the Corn Trade
End Quotation.
Part 2 of this chapter on bounties paid upon export of certain commodities dives deeply into the history and current practice of various government policies regulating trade in corn, both within nations and between nations, with emphasis on Great Britain.
While I did not find this sentiment in this section, I was reminded of Smith's prior assertion that corn sets the value of money, and not the other way around.
There are several assertions by Mr. Smith that are worthy of recording for posterity in the present thread, here are two that I particularly like:
Begin Quotation: (Page 569)
But the law ought always to trust people with the care of their own interest,as in their local situations they must generally be able to judge better of it than the legislator can do.
End Quotation.
Begin Quotation: (Page 581)
The laws concerning corn may every where be compared to the laws concerning religion.
End Quotation.
My overall impression of this chapter is that Smith disapproves of almost all impediments to free trade. He does make an exception for protection of activities which relate to national defense, and the same reservation can be observed in the policies of the United States in 2017.
Where I hope to end up over the course of these weekly ruminations is with a conclusion that the economy of the planet Earth of 2016 can support a class of distant communities with digital communications reflecting the greater variety of capability of the larger population, while at the same time providing a large and ready market for digital communications from the smaller populations, who may yet offer insights or achievements not occurring elsewhere.

Atopic eczema in children: Management of atopic eczema in children from birth up to the age of 12 years
NICE guidance on atopic eczema in children.
Atopic eczema (often called atopic dermatitis) is one of a group of related, inherited conditions that also includes asthma and hay fever. It can make the skin dry, itchy, red, broken and sore.

It usually improves with age, but some people will have the condition into adulthood.
This guideline covers the management of atopic eczema in children from birth up to the age of 12 years, and provides guidance on diagnosis and assessment, management, and providing information and education for children and their parents and carers.

In a bid to ensure free and fair elections and curb the use of money power, the Election Commission has disqualified as many as 2,171 candidates for failing to furnish details of expenditure incurred while contesting Parliamentary and Assembly polls.
These candidates will face the bar for three years from the date of disqualification by the Commission, with the maximum being up to January 2016.
The move is part of the poll body's measures to bring in financial transparency and propriety in the conduct of elections which forms the larger part of electoral reforms process.
While Maharashtra tops the list with 260 disqualified candidates, it is followed by Chhattisgarh 259 candidates. They are followed by Haryana with 197 candidates, Odisha 188 and Madhya Pradesh 179.
Uttar Pradesh has 159 candidates disqualified. Jharkhand has 118 candidates and Tamil Nadu 97.
Among the Parliamentary constituencies, Uttar Pradesh has a maximum of 158 candidates debarred from contesting, while Chhattisgarh has the maximum of 240 debarred candidates when it comes to State Legislative Assemblies.
All these candidates were disqualified under Section 8A read with 11 (A) (2) and 10A of
Representation of the People Act, 1951, for failing to submit their poll expenditure accounts within the stipulated 30-day period from the date of announcement of results.
While most such candidates are non-serious candidates, some candidates had filed their returns within the stipulated 30-day period but those were not found in proper order and thus stood disqualified.
The Commission has sent the list of all such barred candidates to Chief Electoral Officers for further sending such names to the respective Returning Officers. Earlier, it had disqualified as many as 3,275 contestants in September 2009.

In later years, the synagogue has served for many community functions which have included musical concerts. The rich tapestry of the Sephardic heritage and music, both liturgical and of the everyday, provides a welcome match of threads co
One of the best known of these concerts was held in 2003 and entitled "Cantors, A Faith in Song"
Due to the Internet, one can now research and hear these three cantors who each have their own web site and whose cantorial music can be found in places such as the FAU Judaica Archives and the Miliken Archives.

As it turns out, all those babes in bikinis you see at auto shows actually have a scientific purpose for being there! Science Daily reports that Stanford researchers exposed (heh) heterosexual men to erotic photos and found that immediately afterward, the men were consistently more likely to take bigger financial risks than they would otherwise. (As reported earlier this year, women are inspired to spend after smelling food.)
The interesting part is that since the scientists were using gambling in their study, erotic photos (which have nothing to do with gambling) are considered "irrelevant stimuli." Brian Knutson, assistant professor of psychology and lead author of the Stanford study, explains, "If you go to the casinos, people are wearing skimpy costumes, they're giving you free alcohol, there are bells and lights and things like that, which don't necessarily seem related to the odds of the gambling. But these are cues that might activate brain regions that encourage risk-taking and therefore get people to gamble more." So let's get this straight: Men subconsciously crave half-nekkid women, and women subconsciously crave brownies?

While public health officials have been preparing for this year's flu season for months, it's time for the general public to begin raising its awareness. More specifically, area residents should be planning to get their annual flu shot.
Even though the 30 days that September hath have yet to pass, vaccinations already are available at health departments, clinics and hospitals throughout the region. Each season tends to be unpredictable as to its severity or timing, so medical personnel are encouraging people to start getting their shots.
"A lot of people worry about wanting to wait until October or whatever, which is fine," said Jeremy Snyder, a pharmacist at Walgreens in Hays. "But sometimes the flu season starts earlier, depending on what kind of weather we have."
Last year, the season began earlier than usual and peaked in mid-December. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported last year's influenza outbreak was moderately severe. Across the nation, more than 12,000 individuals were hospitalized for flu complications.
The CDC recommends everyone 6 months of age and older to get an annual flu vaccine. Particularly at risk are pregnant women, adults 65 and older, and children younger than 5 -- especially those under 2. Unlike last year, when vaccines were arriving at the same time the viruses started appearing, health care facilities mostly are stocked at this point. Manufacturers reported plans to produce almost 140 million doses for the U.S. market.
"We're seeing a lot of flu vaccine given in September now," said Butch Schlyer, Ellis County Health Department administrator. "There are a lot of doses available, so they start early. Let's get people done."
While receiving a flu shot is the most important preventive measure to take, the CDC says there are other commonsense rules to follow:
* Flu viruses most commonly are spread via coughing, sneezing or talking. As droplets can travel up to 6 feet, cover your mouth as often as possible.
* Washing your hands and common area surfaces is paramount.
* Stay away from sick people.
* If you have the flu, stay home.
Although most people who contract the flu recover in less than two weeks, influenza is nothing to treat lightly. Hospitalizations do occur, and sometimes death is the result.
Contact your local health provider or take advantage of the numerous lost-cost options available at county health departments and commercial pharmacies. They're prepared. Are you?

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.
We regret any inconvenience.
Some portions of the collection may already be severely out of date, so please be cautious in your use of this material.
Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct
Comment - Rule 2.2
[1] A lawyer acts as intermediary under this rule when the lawyer represents two or more parties with potentially conflicting interests. A key factor in defining the relationship is whether the parties share responsibility for the lawyer's fee, but the common representation may be inferred from other circumstances. Because confusion can arise as to the lawyer's role where each party is not separately represented, it is important that the lawyer make clear the relationship.
[2] The Rule does not apply to a lawyer acting as arbitrator or mediator between or among parties who are not clients of the lawyer, even where the lawyer has been appointed with the concurrence of the parties. In performing such a role the lawyer may be subject to applicable codes of ethics, such as the Code of Ethics for Arbitration in Commercial Disputes prepared by a joint Committee of the American Bar Association and the American Arbitration Association.
[3] A lawyer acts as intermediary in seeking to establish or adjust a relationship between clients on an amicable and mutually advantageous basis; for example, in helping to organize a business in which two or more clients are entrepreneurs, working out the financial reorganization of an enterprise in which two or more clients have an interest, arranging a property distribution in settlement of an estate or mediating a dispute between clients. The lawyer seeks to resolve potentially conflicting interests by developing the parties' mutual interests. The alternative can be that each party may have to obtain separate representation, with the possibility in some situations of incurring additional cost, complication or even litigation. Given these and other relevant factors, all the clients may prefer that the lawyer act as intermediary.
[4] In considering whether to act as intermediary between clients, a lawyer should be mindful that if the intermediation fails the result can be additional cost, embarrassment and recrimination. In some situations the risk of failure is so great that intermediation is plainly impossible. For example, a lawyer cannot undertake common representation of clients between whom contentious litigation is imminent or who contemplate contentious negotiations. More generally, if the relationship between the parties has already assumed definite antagonism, the possibility that the clients' interests can be adjusted by intermediation ordinarily is not very good.
[5] The appropriateness of intermediation can depend on its form. Forms of intermediation range from informal arbitration, where each client's case is presented by the respective client and the lawyer decides the outcome, to mediation, to common representation where the clients' interests are substantially though not entirely compatible. One form may be appropriate in circumstances where another would not. Other relevant factors are whether the lawyer subsequently will represent both parties on a continuing basis and whether the situation involves creating a relationship between the parties or terminating one.
Confidentiality and Privelage
[6] A particularly important factor in determining the appropriateness of intermediation is the effect on client-lawyer confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege. In a common representation, the lawyer is still required both to keep each client adequately informed and to maintain confidentiality of information relating to the representation. See Rules 1.4 and 1.6. Complying with both requirements while acting as intermediary requires a delicate balance. If the balance cannot be maintained, the common representation is improper. With regard to the attorney-client privilege, the prevailing rule is that as between commonly represented clients the privilege does not attach. Hence, it must be assumed that if litigation eventuates between the clients, the privilege will not protect any such communications, and the clients should be so advised.
[7] Since the lawyer is required to be impartial between commonly represented clients, intermediation is improper when that impartiality cannot be maintained. For example, a lawyer who has represented one of the clients for a long period and in a variety of matters might have difficulty being impartial between that client and one to whom the lawyer has only recently been introduced.
[8] In acting as intermediary between clients, the lawyer is required to consult with the clients on the implications of doing so, and proceed only upon consent based on such a consultation. The consultation should make clear that the lawyer's role is not that of partisanship normally expected in other circumstances.
[9] Paragraph (b) is an application of the principle expressed in Rule 1.4. Where the lawyer is intermediary, the clients ordinarily must assume greater responsibility for decisions than when each client is independently represented.
[10] Common representation does not diminish the rights of each client in the client-lawyer relationship. Each has the right to loyal and diligent representation, the right to discharge the lawyer as stated in Rule 1.16, and the protection of Rule 1.9 concerning obligations to a former client.

Carrot Cake with Honey Yoghurt 'Cream Cheese'
How To:
1. Preheat the oven to fan 180°C/Gas mark 6 and line the base of two 23cm-diameter cake tins (for a whole cake) or a 20cm x 40cm baking tin (for a traybake) and grease the sides with butter.
2. In a large bowl, combine the ground almonds with the salt, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and nutmeg.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with the maple syrup and melted butter, then stir in the carrots, raisins and walnuts before mixing with the dry ingredients in the large bowl.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake tins or tin, spreading it out evenly, and bake in the oven for 35 minutes until springy to the touch and golden brown on top. Remove from the oven and place the tins on a wire rack to cool.
5. While the cakes are cooling, make the frosting. Add the strained yoghurt or cream cheese/quark/goat?s curd mixture to a bowl and mix in the honey and vanilla extract. Taste, adding a tiny pinch of salt if needed, then leave in the fridge until the cakes have cooled down completely. Remove the cakes from the tins. 6. Spread the cooled cakes with the frosting. (Or freeze the cakes until needed, defrost, then add the frosting to serve.) Place one round cake on top of the other (cut into 15 slices) or slice the traybake into 30 small squares. Crush the additional walnuts and sprinkle over to decorate.
*If you?re making yoghurt ?cream cheese?, line a sieve with two pieces of kitchen paper and place over a bowl. Pour in the yoghurt, cover with a plate and leave to strain i...

Saskatchewan's political climate appears to be heating up regarding the future of its commercial Crown corporations. In November 2012, the provincial government introduced legislation authorizing the sale of voting shares in Investment Services Corporation (ISC), a commercial Crown corporation that provides registry services and announced that it is contemplating a 60 per cent partial privatization through a stock offering. In a 2012 year-end CBC interview, Premier Brad Wall indicated that he would like to provide Saskatchewan voters with a clear policy on the privatization of the province's commercial Crowns before the next election. Premier Wall said that "It can't be about ideology. . . It has to be what's pragmatic", adding that he would welcome a "rational" public discussion about Saskatchewan's Crown corporations.
Saskatchewan's first commercial Crown corporations were established for pragmatic public policy purposes. According to Crown Investments Corporation (CIC), the holding company for Saskatchewan's commercial Crowns, "Private sector companies either did not offer services, offered them only to major centres, or charged rural customers significantly higher rates than urban customers. Saskatchewan's first commercial Crown corporations were established because essential services such as telephone, power, and hail insurance for crops were not available from private companies, or not available to all residents on a fair and equitable basis". The commercial Crowns also provide head office jobs in Saskatchewan that otherwise might not exist.
As recently as the 2003 provincial election, accusations that the Saskatchewan Party had a hidden agenda to privatize Saskatchewan's commercial Crown corporations became a major issue that helped to re-elect the incumbent NDP government. In 2004, the Saskatchewan legislature, with support from all political parties, passed The Crown Corporations Public Ownership Act. This legislation specifies nearly all of Saskatchewan's commercial Crown corporations, and creates a daunting barrier to their potential sale. Investment Services Corporation (ISC), a commercial Crown corporation that provides registry services, was not specified in the 2004 legislation.
Saskatchewan's commercial Crown corporation sector represents a large investment of public money, with consolidated assets of about $12.8 billion at September 30, 2012. It is both pragmatic and prudent to review periodically how these assets have performed, their situation and outlook, the continuing public policy purpose of government ownership, and to involve the public in the review process.
In 2008, I developed a framework for conducting a non-ideological, pragmatic Crown review. It called on the provincial government to establish an independent public review of Saskatchewan's commercial Crown corporations based upon rigorous, objective and transparent analysis with open public input and debate.
A Crown Review would foster informed public debate, and would help the government and opposition parties to develop clear policies on the commercial Crowns. A Crown Review would provide a pragmatic alternative to ideology in assessing the benefits, costs, risks, and continuing public policy purpose of government ownership of the various commercial Crowns, and in deciding which, if any, should continue under government ownership and which, if any, should be privatized.
It thus makes good sense and the provincial government would show good faith not to proceed with any partial privatization of ISC until after the completion of a Crown Review and the release of a clear policy.
It has been more than 15 years since the last Crown Review. When I proposed the framework for a new kind of Crown Review five years ago, the government indicated that conducting such a review was not a priority. Premier Wall's 2012 year-end interview suggests a possible change in the government's receptiveness to the idea.
