American Dream Faces Harsh New Reality By Ari Shapiro • May 29, 2012 The American Dream is a crucial thread in this country's tapestry, woven through politics, music and culture. Though the phrase has different meanings to different people, it suggests an underlying belief that hard work pays off and that the next generation will have a better life than the previous generation. But three years after the worst recession in almost a century, the American Dream now feels in jeopardy to many. The town of Lorain, Ohio, used to embody this dream. It was a place where you could get a good job, raise a family and comfortably retire.

All this requires one very important thing: lots of money.

Unused Potential As Headphones Invade The Office, Are We Lonelier? By editor • May 28, 2012 Headphones or earbuds are becoming common in the workplace. Not just for listening to music on a break, they allow people to tune out their co-workers all day long. But in many cases, those same co-workers are still communicating — online. Melissa Gore, a project manager at Huge, a Brooklyn, N.Y., digital branding agency, works side-by-side at long tables with hundreds of others. But she doesn't hear the chatter and commotion. "I just have some headphones on," she says. "I get in the zone with Spotify and sometimes people have to wave their hand in front of me." Long Before The Internet, The Linotype Sped Up The News By editor • May 28, 2012 As part of a new tech segment, we're occasionally going to be looking at a concept, invention or tool that's altered the way the world works.

In Sweat Lodge, Vets Find Healing 'Down To The Core' By editor • May 28, 2012 Substance abuse. Violence. Even thoughts of suicide. These are some of the problems that many veterans returning home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are struggling with. Today it's called post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, but it has affected veterans going back much farther. While doctors and researchers put enormous efforts into developing new treatments, one group of veterans in Salt Lake City is finding relief in a very old tradition: a Native American sweat lodge.

For A Billionaire, $2M Gets You Superdonor Status By Peter Overby • May 28, 2012 In the world of high-dollar politics, the billionaire industrialists David and Charles Koch are famous for their lavish funding of conservative politicians and causes. But there's another Koch brother — William — who is passionate about many things, but only recently about politics. Bill Koch is an avid yachtsman, and he set out to win the 1992 America's Cup. It would take four boats, more than 260 team members and single-minded determination. David Rosow was the team's business manager and is a longtime friend of Koch's.

Patients Crusade For Access To Their Medical Device Data By editor • May 28, 2012 Each year, tens of thousands of Americans are implanted with tiny battery-controlled devices that regulate the beating of their hearts. Those devices transmit streams of medical data directly to doctors. But some patients, like Hugo Campos of San Francisco, fear they're being kept out of the loop.

Every year at springtime, daffodils bloom, robins hunt for worms and people file their taxes. It's this last item that's a reminder to investors that now is also the time to clean their portfolios.
For advisors, spring cleaning means freshening up a client's portfolio by reviewing goals, taking profits and reallocating assets, says Mark Martiak, a New York-based senior wealth strategist and vice president at Premier Financial Advisors/First Allied Securities. Premier's securities are offered through the independent broker-dealer First Allied Securities, which was acquired last August by private equity firm Lovell Minick Partners.
"I do this with all my clients," Martiak told AdvisorOne in a phone interview on Thursday. "Advisors should be proactive and say, 'OK, here's your strategic and long-term core, and here's your tactical and short-term satellite to mitigate volatility and counter market conditions. We want to sell some of the winners if it's time to take some profits, and perhaps add to some of our losing positions."
Once Martiak (left) reviews a portfolio for the client's asset classes, and once liquidity needs are reviewed, he'll do some rebalancing in the long-term core, and then he'll take a look at the portfolio's satellite asset strategy and do some adjusting.
"Spring cleaning is important, but no less important than the fall cleanup," Martiak said. "The quarterly portfolio reviews are always important, but in this period of coming off the best first quarter since 1998, advisors now have to look very carefully. We didn't have a lot of volatility in the first quarter, but now volatility has started to creep back up due to economic and market sentiment, so it's important now to really look at your portfolio and clean it out."
Read on to read Martiak's five tips for spring cleaning a portfolio.
1) Get Globally Bonded.
Europe continues to weigh on investors' minds, but continued 'disaster-level' pricing of fixed income doesn't account for the progress that has been made with the European Central Bank's policy in addressing sovereign debt, Martiak said.
He recommends buying sovereign debt in European and Asian countries "because U.S. government bonds aren't doing anything." While Martiak strongly recommends high-yield U.S. corporate and municipal debt, he believes that global bonds from the U.K., France, Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands diversify the fixed-income asset class.
"While there's still the possibility of an ECB slip-up, the nature of the questions being debated in Europe have changed from existential to practical, so the risk and challenges have moved to a more granular level focused on policy and global linkages," Martiak said.
2) Preserve Wealth Now.
After periods of extended volatility, when investors realize their portfolio hasn't delivered returns despite the market gyrations, they may want to revisit the idea of employing a tactical allocation strategy that offers the potential to preserve and build wealth, Martiak said.
"It's not too late to recommend the technology sector to clients who don't have a technology exposure in their core investment strategy," he said.
Advisors can do that by rotating some assets out of other sectors in the tactical satellite portion of a client's portfolio. It could be 80% equities and 20% bonds or 60-40 mix, he believes, "and you have extra money set aside to really react and be proactive in the market."
3) Look Global, Act Local.
U.S. corporations have generally been among the first companies globally to have benefited from the recovery, according to Martiak. Since strong productivity, low wage pressure and a drop in the U.S. dollar have all helped boost profit margins, U.S. multinationals should play an essential role in clients' portfolios, he says.
"I like large-cap growth, but I especially like the companies in the S&P 500 that are the multinationals," he said. "You can rely on them for growth in capital and as well as getting paid income while you wait."
He's focused on the financial, technology, energy and materials sectors in the core European countries of France, the U.K., Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. In addition, Martiak likes emerging-market equities, while on the fixed income side, he likes U.S. corporates, sovereign debt and high-yield munis.
4) Go on a European Shopping Spree.
"We are seeing valuations that in many cases we have only seen during the Great Depression or, in some cases, in the 1970s when the economic situation was arguably in worse shape than it is today. I think it's a rare opportunity to buy European stocks with such attractive valuations in this environment," Martiak said.
While acknowledging that Greece and Portugal may leave the euro zone due to their fiscal woes, Martiak says that core European countries are now in a healthy state and that the euro zone will remain intact.
As for European sovereign and bank deleveraging, Martiak views that as a positive.
"It's similar to what we've been through here in the U.S.," he said. "I looked at a couple of European banks today—I won't name names, but one of them is a famous bank out of London, and the other one is out of the Netherlands—and they're still down in the portfolio of one of my ultra-high-net-worth clients and not paying dividend income. Maybe when I invested in those in the portfolios after 2008, mid-2009, I was way ahead of the call. But I also want to be there in the valley as we go up the trough to the peak."
5) Capitalize on Cambodia.
Cambodia has one of the fastest developing economies in Southeast Asia, and the Asian Development Bank expects Cambodia to post the second-highest 2011 GDP growth in the region.
"In fact, there was GDP growth of 6.3% in 2010 versus 0.1% in 2009," Martiak said.
He also noted that a Cambodian securities exchange opened last year and that the Cambodian government is encouraging foreign and local investment. Neighboring Laos opened its stock exchange in January 2011, and Vietnam's exchange has been around since 2000.
"As of late February [the Cambodian exchange] hadn't listed any companies, but the idea is that they will list government-owned entities like telecom and utilities and ports very soon," Martiak said. "I'm watching substantial investment in transportation such as railroads, and particularly a link between the south of China, Singapore and Cambodia."

Now that it's properly chilly, I can bring out my Penfield down jacket. I'm not usually one for puffa jackets, but I do love this particular Penfield Gillman jacket. It's a collaboration with Scottish wool maker Jamieson's of Shetland so it features a Fair Isle knit yoke and pockets.
I got my jacket in the ASOS sale back in April, when it was reduced from £260 to £130 down to £65. I couldn't believe what a bargain it was and knew that even though I wasn't going to be wearing it for months, I'd appreciate it when I did.
And I do. It's so cosy and warm. I can't wait for the weekend, when I can team it with a scarf, hat and hiking boots for a brisk walk in the country. What better excuse to embrace the great outdoors, eh?

Top This: Halloween Leftover Pizza
Learn how to work a new topping onto your pies.
What should you do with all that excess Halloween candy? Why, put it on an over-the-top dessert pizza, of course!
We recommend laying out a chocolatey base by slicing up your favorite candy bar—preferably one with a melty center. Snickers would be a good choice. Butterfinger, not so much.
From there, add your "cheese" in the form of mini marshmallows. Look—it's gooey and stretchy just like real mozzarella!
After that, sky's the limit. Candy Corn, Mary Janes, M&M's, Gummi Worms—even Ed's favorite, the Chunky bar. Just avoid Jolly Ranchers—those things'll take the roof of your mouth off when melted.
I've oddly just lost my appetite. Does anyone want to come pick up a free Halloween pizza?

There have been several pictures of this space - which was originally shown back in the July 2009 edition of Better Homes and Gardens – in various BH&G publications (here and here). My basement was chosen this time as an example of "Finishing Points."
The caption reads - "Forget the traditional man cave filled with plump leather furniture – a basement can look light, feminine, and tailored. Here, bead-board walls, fresh window trim, and columns hiding unsightly steel posts create a crisp backdrop that's teeming with architectural character."

The usual starting dose is one 10 mg tablet every 12 hours. However, your doctor will prescribe the dose required to treat your pain.
If you find that you are still in pain whilst taking these tablets, discuss this with your doctor.
Do not exceed the dose recommended by your doctor. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Swallow your tablets whole with water. Do not crush, dissolve or chew them.
Oxicodone tablets are designed to work properly over 12 hours when swallowed whole.
If a tablet is broken, crushed, dissolved or chewed, the entire 12-hour dose may be absorbed rapidly into your body.
This can be dangerous, causing serious problems such as an overdose, which may be fatal.
You should take your tablets every 12 hours. For instance, if you take a tablet at 8 o'clock in the morning, you should take your next tablet at 8 o'clock in the evening.
You must only take the tablets by mouth. The tablets should never be crushed or injected as this may lead to serious side effects, which may be fatal.
Patients with kidney or liver problems
Please tell your doctor if you suffer from kidney or liver problems as they may prescribe a lower dose depending on your condition.
If you take more Oxicodone tablets than you should or if someone accidentally swallows your tablets
Call your doctor or hospital straight away. People who have taken an overdose may feel very sleepy, sick or dizzy, or have hallucinations.
They may also have breathing difficulties leading to unconsciousness or even death and may need emergency treatment in hospital.
When seeking medical attention make sure that you take this leaflet and any remaining tablets with you to show to the doctor.
If you forget to take your Oxicodone tablets
If you remember within 4 hours of the time your tablet was due, take your tablet straight away. Take your next tablet at your normal time.
If you are more than 4 hours late, please call your doctor or pharmacist for advice. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet.
If you stop taking Oxicodone tablets
You should not suddenly stop taking these tablets unless your doctor tells you to. If you want to stop taking your tablets, discuss this with your doctor first.
They will tell you how to do this, usually by reducing the dose gradually so you do not experience unpleasant effects.
Withdrawal symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, palpitations, shaking or sweating may occur if you suddenly stop taking these tablets.
If you have any further questions on the use of this medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Children and adolescents under 18 years of age should not take the tablets.
Like all medicines, these tablets can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.
All medicines can cause allergic reactions, although serious allergic reactions are rare.
Tell your doctor immediately if you get any sudden wheeziness, difficulties in breathing, swelling of the eyelids, face or lips, rash or itching especially those covering your whole body.

"You're in a different place. It's very sensual . . . It satisfies that thing of going to space. You can go into the water and pet eels and octopuses and things. I really love it; it's an amazing experience." Jerry Garcia
Before plunging into the layers of GarciaLive Volume 10 Hilo, Hawaii, 1990, (set for release February 23rd) I believe it sensible to first understand the conditions from which they arise—for to recognize the broad scope and deep appreciation from which Jerry delivers at this delightfully small, Hilo Civic Auditorium, is to hear Jerry at an enlightened moment in his life, allowing us to keenly empathize, for on this night he holds nothing back in the love he is feeling.
Offering warm emotional comfort with profound insight, Garcia (donning shorts and slippers with his trademark black T) makes evident his want to share his love of living, guiding us through a musical illumination of his joy, of his appreciation for life, for us, for all. John Kahn, Melvin Seals, and David Kemper are all-too-happy to share in the exuberance, illuminating their own brilliance in doing so, and offer Jerry the perfect forum in which to sing (be it voice or string) of love and death, and life's lessons, as he jubilantly revels in the transitory nature of existence, inviting us all to join.
The song selection alone cries out, as the lyrics of each seem specifically chosen in which to express his appreciation and understanding. And while the majority of the songs are written by others, I'm sure they never imagined them being played quite like this, for Jerry makes each his own—a change that goes way beyond turning water into wine . . . this is turning water into Universe Juice!
Using what some might think ordinary tunes in which to wet our toes, Jerry takes us out through the shallows, wading through the crystal clear waters of the sound, where before we realize, we're completely submerged, deep-sea diving in a musical ocean, swimming with strange and exotic vibrations, exploring translucent being . . . realizing the pearl that is Hilo. Somehow, "Forever Young," epitomizes this for me, as I literally feel myself in the warm, salty waters with Jerry, the notes of his guitar rising likes bubbles off the ocean floor—his childlike joy, permeated by an undefined wisdom, has me melodiously realizing he never left that glorious, watery palace . . . nor the revelations therein.
"May you always know the truth, and see the lights surrounding you . . . May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung."
Every song in Hilo seems to surprisingly manifest itself into this amazing spark of discovery. And while I admit I haven't heard every JGB show, I can certainly say, I never heard any like this! Opening with a spirited, "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You," speaks for itself. And I believe I can speak for everybody when I say—Jerry, how sweet it is to be loved by you, too. Feeling all googly as he is, we're not surprised when we hear, "They Love Each Other," next.
I have no desire to go into each song individually, as I would hate to limit the Hilo experience with a singular viewpoint, nor detract from the miraculous discoveries, pleasant surprises, and mind-boggling turn of events that await the first-time listener. However, I will say, when Jerry sings, "Turn around, and I'll be there, like a road, like a road leading home," in that powerfully emotional voice of his, a few tears will be shed, for how many times has Jerry been there for us, in grand celebration, exploration, or in reaching out a musical hand, pulling us from a shattering of mind we wished we'd never encountered?
"It's my duty to bring you down to the field where the flowers bloom."
The quality and fatness of sound on Volume 10 is a true pleasure, as all in the band are feeling, "the happy," and magically fill the space without hindering one another. Melvin Seals is all over the place, changing sounds like the raven, as he moves throughout, dances with, and spins about, offering us the flavor of the islands with subtle abandon, as if he can't help himself. I see the palm trees and the Mai Tai in my hand. I feel the waves behind me, and the warm breeze on my face. Sonic illusion at its finest! Banging away at the keys, Melvin offers, "All good things, in all good time." His and Jerry's musical dialog throughout, "The Way You Do The Things You Do," is nothing less than remarkable. Thank the stars, Kemper and Kahn keep them contained, or the conversation would've been unattainable to us mere humans.
"If we walk together, little children, we don't ever have to worry, through this world of trouble. We gotta love one another."
When it comes to, "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," I'm just going to have to 'fess up, for I have no description of what's going on here . . . but damn! This is one of those special "somethings," an extraordinary gift from the never-after. John Kahn shows himself to be a playful master of the down line, in ways that scream, "Inspiration move me brightly." The rich texture and snappy tone of John's bass warms the entire show with its fire. And my God! This version of "Deal" left me laughing and shaking my head in awe by the end. There's no stopping this train, for we've long since been rolling by the time this request comes around. Is it reggae? Or is it not? Eureka! It's both.
Far into the experience by the time, "Tears Of Rage," materializes, we've become immersed in an overall essence, and can't help but take a moment to reflect, to feel. How did we ever leave the ocean in the first place? And not an ocean defined by water, but rather the great wonder of all that brings water about.
"It was all very painless when you went out to receive all that false instruction, which we never could believe. And now the heart is filled with gold as if it was a purse, but oh, what kind of love is this, which goes from bad to worse?"
Snapping us from our contemplative dream is David Kemper's consistent and lively step, and we are thrust into dancing upon the vibrating beaches of that wild thing, "Evangeline." Gloria Jones and Jacklyn LaBranch, musical instruments in their own right, decorate this show like tropical birds, imbuing the music with the quiddities of the islands in reggae flare, delicate gospel roots, and a touch of bebop.
With instinctual mastery of music theory, GarciaLive, Volume 10 infuses all with wonder on this 75th anniversary year of Jerry's birth. I can only speculate what he might think today of all he, the Grateful Dead, and the Jerry Garcia Band inspired, and still inspire, yet I will say, "We got the message. Thank you." For if it wasn't for all involved, over all the years, this Dead Head shudders at where he might be otherwise. And while I know that stardom wore on Jerry at times, Hilo, Hawaii is not one of those times. So, let's all rejoice in life, focus on the miracles of existence, and offer our appreciation for the family we've been blessed to take part in, for we are truly a monument, and not just to the music and the times that forged our construction, but one that points the way, illuminates the light, as we are all well-reminded by the many grains of sand that form our island.
"Ride in the whale belly. Fade away in moonlight. Sink beneath the waters to the coral sand below."

It was damn-near impossible to navigate through the waters of horror-news outlets today as every single page that I clicked on greeted me with a rollover, a pop-up or a redirect for "The Crazies". One of them even crashed my Goddamned browser. So, as of now, I refuse to to see "The Crazies". I don't care anymore. Look, ad-men: as a member of the horror community, I am at full awareness that "The Crazies" is out today. Most of us are. Is all this repetitive, intrusive and downright asinine advertising really necessary? It's 9:40 AM on opening day and I'm already burned out on this overexposed remake. I hope it fails, and fails miserably.
Speaking of failing miserably, Bloody Disgusting has the one-sheet for George Romero's latest flogged-to-death horse, Survival of the Dead. It looks like you think it would, with cheaply painted zombies reaching out to grab you, trying desperately to escape the mediocrity.
Last Wednesday, our good pal Casey wrote a fun little piece entitled "9 Insane Asylum Movies" in honor of the release of "Shutta I-lin, Ya Wikked Pissa Bastids". Meanwhile, over at something called Horror-Movies.ca, they've got a weak-sauce variation called "5 Best Horror Films Set in Mental Institutions". Our's obviously had thought and care put into it. Their's, on the other hand, had "Gothika". Ahem.
"The Gate 3D" has secured $1.9 million and will begin shooting in Germany shortly, under the direction of Alex Winter. Winter starred in "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" in the 80's, and also directed the 1993 cult classic "Freaked".
All three "Wrong Turn" films will be coming to Bluray this fall.
Vanity Fair has a few, slightly new pics from "Alice in Wonderland", directed by Tim Burton and starring Helena Bohnam Carter, Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway.
Darren Lynn Bousman lines up comic adaptation for after he's finished shooting the "Mother's Day" remake.

To most Americans, this is the most humorous of names for a dish. But in England, spotted dick is a standard part of the cuisine. After welcoming it into our household, I can see why.
This month's Daring Baker's Challenge was brought to us by Esther of The Lilac Kitchen. She challenged everyone to make a traditional British pudding using, if possible, a very traditional British ingredient: suet.
I felt that I was one leg up on some of the competition just by knowing what suet was. (It's beef fat that is stored above the kidneys) However, I'd never cooked with it. Thankfully, a local butcher had suet available for me (for cheap – $1/lb!), so I was ready to go. I opted to first try out Esther's suggestion at a traditional British savory pudding – steak and kidney pudding.
I have tried kidney once before in my life. While I'm a huge fan of offal (LOVE me some liver, and as you know, I'm no stranger to other weird body parts, such as cow's head), I was not fond of kidney. However, that was years ago, and I concluded that I must have not prepared it correctly the last time. Time to try again. I began by making a suet crust, and rolling it out, and lining a bowl with the crust. I followed a recipe as instructed, and filled the crust with pieces of steak and kidney, along with some onion, carrot, and thyme. I covered the crust, and steamed it in my tamale steamer for about 5 hours. When I removed the pudding, uncovered the top, and the kitchen filled with the aroma, I immediately knew. No way was I going to be able to eat this. No offense to all of the kidney-lovers out there, but kidney is just not my thing. I even made myself take a bite or two (and the husband did the same), but I'm sorry to say, we had something else for dinner that night.
However, I was undeterred. I was still going to succeed in this challenge, and make something I liked. So I turned to the sweeter side of things. Spotted dick it was.
Spotted dick is a lightly sweet suet pudding, traditionally dotted with currants. (Hence the "spotted" part of the name.) I decided to add a few things to enhance the flavor just a bit – I contributed some golden raisins, and the zest from a meyer lemon. I steamed this pudding for about 2 hours, and topped it with a meyer lemon vanilla custard sauce. Let me tell you – although this pudding has a humble appearance, the flavors certainly deliver. It reminds me of a lighter (light in flavor, not in calories, mind you) bread pudding of sorts. The suet creates such a unique, yet addictive texture. It's something I'm definitely going to try to incorporate instead of butter in various decadent recipes in the future.
A big thanks to Esther for challenging us! I love learning new cooking styles, incorporating new ingredients, and stepping outside my comfort zone. This one certainly challenged me!
Meyer Lemon Spotted Dick, adapted from Epicurious
For the pudding:
1 1/2 c gluten-free flour blend (I used 2 parts sweet white rice flour, 1 part cornstarch, 1 part tapioca starch)
1/3 c sugar
1 T baking powder
1 t xanthan gum
1/2 t salt
1 c cold finely chopped beef suet
8-10 T whole milk
1/2 c mixture of currants and golden raisins
zest from 1 meyer lemon
Pulse together flour blend, sugar, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt in a food processor. Add suet and pulse until mixture is evenly mixed. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Pour in milk and stir with a fork until incorporated. Knead with your hands until a slightly sticky dough is formed. Add currants, raisins, and zest and knead until evenly mixed.
Fill a large pot or steamer pot (I used my tamale steamer) with 1 1/2 inches water. Use the steamer insert, or you can make a platform by using crumbled foil or cookie cutters. Place the dough mixture in a well-buttered pudding basin or 1-quart ceramic or glass bowl, and flatten the top with your hands. Cover with a buttered piece of parchment paper (butter side facing the dough), and top with foil. Wrap the foil tightly around the edges, and tie with butcher's twine. (Make sure it's "waterproof" so the steam won't seep inside and ruin your pudding.)
Bring water to a boil and set bowl on your "platform" or steamer insert. Steam pudding with your pot covered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, checking every so often to make sure your water hasn't all evaporated. (Add more if needed.) Remove bowl carefully from pot and place on a rack to cool for 5 minutes. Remove parchment and foil, and invert pudding onto a large plate. Serve immediately with custard sauce.
Meyer Lemon Vanilla Custard Sauce
1 1/2 c whole milk
6 large egg yolks
1/3 c sugar
pinch of salt
1 t vanilla
juice from 1 meyer lemon
Bring milk just to a boil in a medium saucepan and remove from heat. In a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar, salt, and vanilla. Pour hot milk into the bowl in a steady stream, whisking. Pour custard back into pan and cook over low heat, whisking, until slightly thickened. Pour through a fine sieve into a pitcher or bowl. Whisk in lemon juice and serve warm over pudding.

Slavery: Why White America Today's Still Responsible; National Legal & Policy Center's "The Case Against Slave Reparations" by Peter Flaherty & John Carlisle Dismantled;
The entire "Western world" profited and still reaps benefits from both that slave trade and the concept of white supremacy and the institution of the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. Therefore, the entire white world owes.
"All whites are reparations offenders," says NBFSN General Cedishon Angelou. "There are direct reparations offenders and non-direct reparations offenders. Direct reparations offenders are whites from families who owned slaves. Non direct reparations offenders are whites from families who enjoyed either (or both) enjoyed the economic and social position the institution of slavery and white racism afforded them. We do not see the non-direct ones as less guilty than the ones who actually did own slaves."
One Of Savage White America's Favorite We Don't Owe You Reparations For Slavery Excuses: BUT YOUR OWN KIND SOLD YOU INTO SLAVERY!
In summary and additionally: 1. There was no system of Chattel Slavery in Africa. Slaves were not stripped of their humanity i.e. culture, religion, humanity; 2. What Africans did to Africans, which was by in no way comparable to what whites did to them; 3. Africans who sold Africans into slavery were not aware of the Chattel slavery the West introduced; 4. Despite the current European historical revision, the percentage of Africans sold by Africans is inflated.

Oklahoma Christian University Named Apple Distinguished Program
Oklahoma Christian University (OC) has been selected as an Apple Distinguished Program for the 2012-2013 school year for its innovative mobile computing program.
This year, Oklahoma Christian joins a select group of programs Apple is renewing nationwide as exemplary learning environments.
The Apple Distinguished Program designation is reserved for programs that integrate technology in education and meet criteria for visionary leadership, innovative learning and teaching, ongoing professional learning, compelling evidence of success, and a flexible learning environment.
"Oklahoma Christian has been selected as an Apple Distinguished Program because we support the way students live and how they want to learn," OC vice president for information technology John Hermes said. "From the iPhone and iPod touch, to the iPad and our current MacBook Air program for all undergrads, we've adapted to the technology needs of our students. We're honored to be recognized by Apple for enhancing and extending teaching and learning with the thoughtful and innovative implementation of educational technology."
OC's technology innovation dates back to the 1960s, when individual study carrels gained national media attention and attracted college representatives from around the country to see the concept firsthand.
Oklahoma Christian stayed on the cutting edge, and in 2001, became the first university in the state and one of the few nationwide to offer campus-wide wireless Internet and a laptop for each full-time student.
Oklahoma Christian became an Apple Digital Campus in 2008. This year's incoming students received the Macbook Air, which is the ultimate, lightweight, everyday notebook featuring the world's most advanced operating system.
Representatives from Apple will be on OC's campus Friday at 10:15 am to make the official presentation at a private reception in the Garvey Center.

For years, vibrators were bought quietly in sex shops, and later online, arriving in discreet unmarked packages. They were rarely discussed, other than perhaps during a late-night girl-talk session fueled by many glasses of pinot grigio. But now you can find them advertised on MTV and boldly displayed at Duane Reade, Walgreens and other mainstream drugstores, mere steps from the Bengay and Dr. Scholl's.
The newest model on the shelves is the Tri-Phoria ($39.99), created by the condom company Trojan after a study the company conducted in 2008 in partnership with the Center for Sexual Health Promotion at Indiana University revealed that over half of American women had used vibrators, and of that group, nearly 80 percent had shared them with their partners. James Daniels, vice president for marketing at Trojan, said: "The idea really came from consumers. They kept telling us vibrators, vibrators. And we just laughed. And then we realized they were serious."
The Tri-Phoria joins the A:Muse Personal Pleasure Massager by LifeStyles, which arrived in stores in January, and the Allure, by Durex, which made its over-the-counter debut in 2008; both models are $19.99. Alan Cheung, senior brand manager for Durex, said that sales of the company's vibrating products are up 60 percent over the last six months, compared with the same period last year. "Consumers are definitely not shy about this kind of purchase in the retail environment," he said.
This comes as no surprise to Rachel Venning, a founder of Babeland, a chain of sex-toy stores that opened a store in family-friendly Park Slope, Brooklyn, in 2008 to nary a ripple of protest. "I know women will buy them at Duane Reade, and as a lifelong cheerleader for sexual empowerment I'm thrilled at this development," Ms. Venning said. "It's one more step in the evolution of vibrators to just another consumer product, unburdened of its freight of shame, sexual defect and sluttiness."
Liz Canner, who directed the 2009 documentary "Orgasm Inc.," agrees. Her film confronted pharmaceutical companies that suggested women were dysfunctional, and therefore needed some sort of medicinal or therapeutic help, if they could not climax during sex. "It's easier in a repressed culture to have a disorder than go to a sex store and get a vibrator," Ms. Canner said in a recent interview. "Vibrators have been shown to enhance sexual pleasure for over 100 years now. Why not partake?"
Vibrators made occasional cultural cameos in the 1990s, with scenes in films like "She's the One" and "Slums of Beverly Hills." But it wasn't until an episode of HBO's "Sex and the City" —called "The Turtle and the Hare," featuring an actual device called the Rabbit Pearl — that the vibrator truly emerged from the nightstand drawer.
" 'Sex and the City' did as much for women's sexual comfort as really anything has done in the past couple of decades," said Dr. Laura Berman of "In the Bedroom with Dr. Laura Berman," on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
Dr. Berman, a prominent sex and relationship expert, also has a line of sex toys (drlauraberman.com), which she said grossed $5 million in 2010, up from $100,000 in 2005. After one appearance on "Oprah" that focused on adult women who had problems climaxing, one of her top-selling products, the Aphrodite, "was back-ordered forever," she said. And in 2006 she sparked a national debate when she encouraged mothers to buy vibrators for their teenage daughters. "If she gets hot and bothered on a date," Dr. Berman said about the daughter, "she can go home and self-stimulate, instead of getting pregnant."
(Of course, a plastic battery-powered device is not needed for self-stimulation, but there is no market potential in that idea.)
Assessing the vibrator's current ubiquity, Dr. Berman said, "Women are getting less and less caught up on an unrealistic and puritanical vision of what a good girl is. When they can embrace their self-stimulation, they can take ownership of their sexuality."
Men interviewed proclaimed themselves not only unthreatened by the addition of accessories to their partners' sex lives, but downright enthusiastic. Jeremy, 31, a content strategist in the entertainment business who lives in New York and wanted his last name omitted for privacy, said, "From my perspective, a woman who has thoroughly explored her own body, both alone and with or without whichever toys she finds interesting, makes for a significantly better lover."
Kate, 29, a programming coordinator in New York who has been Jeremy's girlfriend for a year and a half, calls herself "an evangelist for vibrators." In college, she recalled seeing a Hello Kitty-themed one. "I wanted it just because it was kitschy and cool," she said. "I thought it was so ridiculous that I ended up doing a bit more research and started to take it seriously."
Kate, a devoted Babeland customer, said that at one point she asked her friends to pool their money and buy her a fancy vibrator for her birthday, which she promised to review for them.
And when Lou, 44, who lives on Long Island and has been married to Sarah, 47, for 20 years, was found to have prostate cancer, he used a make-your-own vibrator kit to make a mold of himself for his wife before having surgery.
"It never entered my mind that, oh, my God, this was bad," he said.
Carol Queen, who is the curator of the Antique Vibrator Museum and a staff sexologist for Good Vibrations, a sex-toy retailer since 1977 that bills itself as the "original clean well-lit place to buy vibrators," attributes more-honest discussions about sex and pleasure to fear of H.I.V./AIDS in the early 1990s, which led to frank discussions about condoms. She also mentioned a shift in published erotica at that time.
"There was something of a pendulum swing from the sex conservatism of the '80s to the lively sex publishing of the '90s, zines, anthologies, small presses," she said. "Then people in more-mainstream venues heard about toys. As soon as mainstream culture looks at an issue, it becomes fair game for everyone else."
And now, thanks to Suki Dunham, 43, vibrators also have an iPhone app.
Ms. Dunham, a former business manager for Apple, was a stay-at-home mother for four years before founding OhMiBod, a line of vibrators that synchronize rhythmically with iPods, iPads, iPhones and other smartphones. (But, she said, "Our product line won't be sold at the Apple store any time soon.") She got the idea after her husband, Brian, who was then traveling frequently for his job at Tyco, gave her an iPod and a vibrator for Christmas.
He later quit to help his wife market her invention, which has faced some hurdles. Nylon Magazine refused to run an ad, Ms. Dunham said. And the federal Small Business Administration denied her loan application because they said she ran a "prurient" business.
"I can sit with my 10-year-old daughter during prime-time TV and watch a commercial for Viagra," Mr. Dunham said, "but I can't advertise our OhMiBod fan page within Facebook."
OhMiBod's Freestyle :G is more expensive than the drugstore versions, at $120, a price comparable to other models from Jimmyjane, Lelo and Je Joue. Perhaps the top of the line is the Lelo Inez, which for $13,500 offers a "virtually silent" engine, according to the company, and either a 18-karat gold-plated or stainless steel finish.
But inconspicuous consumption remains the industry standard. Dr. Berman said she packages her toys in what look like "perfume boxes." Trojan offers a discreet lavender box. Passion Parties is a direct sales company that offers products at in-home parties, during which women place orders with a salesclerk in a private room. "We don't have a porn star on the package. To us that's just degrading," said Pat Davis, the company president. "There is still a strong desire for the confidentiality of it."
The ability to shop online has surely helped the rising popularity of vibrators; Good Vibrations's business has grown by 60 percent since the '90s. "I am all about the Internet," said Ellie, 32, a student and Babeland customer in Old Town, Me. "People want them, but they don't want to go to the creepy stores with the creepy people."
But the creep factor has also decreased significantly since vibrators began to be portrayed in popular culture. Dr. Berman's vibrating panties appeared in the 2009 movie "The Ugly Truth," starring Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler. "That scene would not have been in a major Hollywood movie 10 years ago," Dr. Berman said. Her products were also in a recent episode of "Private Practice" on ABC, though they remained in the boxes. And Kandi Burruss, a singer-songwriter and one of Bravo's "Real Housewives of Atlanta," has decided to create a line of vibrators with Ms. Dunham's help.
The history of the device is an ongoing source of fascination. In a poke at early 1960s prudishness, an episode in the first season of "Mad Men" featured a wired girdle called the Electrosizer. Sarah Ruhl's critically acclaimed 2009 Broadway play, "In the Next Room (or the vibrator play)," explored the socio-cultural reasons behind the invention of the vibrator, which was to treat "hysterical" women medically, in the 1880s.
And "Hysteria," a romantic comedy in post-production that will star Maggie Gyllenhaal and Hugh Dancy, will recount the same point in Victorian history. The plot revolves around Mr. Dancy's character, a young earnest doctor who takes a job massaging women's pelvises into "paroxysms." But when the doctor develops carpal tunnel syndrome, his best friend (Rupert Everett), who is obsessed with electricity, invents a device that has impressively efficient curative powers.
"Americans are ready to laugh at the vibrator as a medical device," said Tanya Wexler, the director of "Hysteria," whose movie takes a winking look at what Ms. Canner alludes to in her documentary: the medical treatment of women who aren't perfectly orgasmic — about which Ms. Wexler feels similarly perplexed.
"People don't need doctors for it," she said "They just need a little bit of freedom."

Samuel Smith
The Old Brewery at Tadcaster was established in 1758. Samuel Smith's is a small, independent brewery, brewing at the oldest brewery in Yorkshire.
The original well at the Old Brewery, sunk in 1758, is still in use. The brewing water for the ales and stouts is drawn from 85 feet underground. The malt mixes with hard well water in copper mash-tuns. Fuggles and Goldings, the old fashioned varieties of hops that over the centuries have given the best British ales distinctive flavour are added later and boiled in 'coppers'.
Samuel Smith still ferments ale and stout in traditional Yorkshire stone 'squares' - roofed fermenting vessels made of solid blocks of slate. The yeast is of a strain that has been used at the Old Brewery continuously since the beginning of the last century, one of the oldest unchanged strains in the country, still as healthy and as active as ever frothing up into rich creamy heads.
The brewery cooper makes and repairs all the wooden casks used for the brewery's naturally conditioned 'Old Brewery Bitter'. Barrels, kilderkins and firkins are the traditional names used for the different sizes of casks, repaired with tools that have their names like 'patsy', 'chive' and 'adze'. Grey shire horses weighing more than a ton each are kept in the stables at the Old Brewery making occasional deliveries of beer to a couple of pubs in the town.

One-Pot Wonders: Fresh Herbs With Corn, Asparagus, and Chickpeas
Get the Recipe
On a recent journey to the TriBeCa farmers market, whilst side-stepping strollers and two-feet-tall shoppers, I spotted the last days of asparagus season and the first signs of corn. My first thought? Combine the two into a tabbouleh of sorts.
When summer hits, one of my favorite dishes is tabbouleh, its bright and fresh aroma from the various chopped herbs interspersed with airy bites of bulgur. Here, I swap the bulgur for chickpeas that are cooked in a pan with shallots, a generous hit of cumin, freshly shucked corn kernels and bite-sized asparagus. Combined with the chopped herbs and topped with sumac-filled yogurt, it makes a light and fresh summer dish that hits the table in less than 30 minutes.
One of my favorite elements of tabbouleh is the unabashed emphasis on herbs; for this recipe, I decided to go with a generous dose of cilantro, parsley, mint, and dill. For some reason, dill doesn't get the love that I feel it deserves—most people seem to make a face at the mere mention of it—but I get pretty excited when I see chefs using it. But hey, to each one's own—leave out the dill or skip the cilantro should they lack appeal, and add in basil or double up on the parsley, instead.
Regardless of the mixture you settle on, don't let the volume intimidate you. I'll admit that there's always a point when I first start chopping herbs that I look at the pile and think, there is no way this is ever going to end up in little pieces at the rate I'm going. Fear not! You'll get through it all (especially if you follow these easy tips for chopping herbs) and, even better, the process will leave your kitchen smelling like summer.
The important thing to remember is to season the dish generously with lemon juice and good olive oil. Feeling like a meal is incomplete without a protein? Sear some chicken breasts or quickly sauté shrimp and serve with this vegetable medley.

If you're one of the billion-plus people who employ Microsoft's Office software each month, you may start noticing some changes.
On Wednesday, Microsoft announced new updates for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. They'll roll out gradually over the next few months.
The changes, from a collapsed "ribbon" to newly drawn icons, may help modernize a venerable but aging franchise.
In recent years Office has mostly been transformed from a set of desktop applications to a cloud-connected app and services. And that means Microsoft no longer piles on a bunch of new features at once into software that you bought and were meant to live with every two to three years, until the next new version came along.
"We were like bakers in a kitchen putting all the wonderful touches on our creations and then we did the big reveal," says Microsoft corporate vice president Jared Spataro.
So call these next changes coming to Office more of a modes reveal. The refresh is based on the so-called "Fluent Design" system that Microsoft announced last year for Windows 10:
Simplified ribbon
The three-line ribbon toolbar at the top of your screen is being whittled down to a space-saving single line. The idea is that you can better focus on your own content in a Word document, for example. If you're not keen on this new view, though, Microsoft still gives you the option to expand the ribbon back into its present form.
You can also now customize the ribbon. According to Microsoft, 95% of us use the same 10-ish commands in the ribbon. But the remaining 5% of commands differ from user to user. You will now be able to pin the commands most meaningful to you to the ribbon.
The online version of Word is the first app to get this simplified ribbon. It comes to Outlook for Windows next month. But those of you who toil in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on Windows have to wait until Microsoft solicits more feedback from a broader set of users.
Fresh icons
Users of the web version of Word at Office.com will also be the first to experience new colors and higher contrast icons that may be easier to make out for people with poor vision.
A Microsoft designer with low vision found that when the contrast is lower, and icons are of the same color, they may blur.
These newly designed icons will appear for select "Insiders" in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for Windows later this month. In July, they will show up in Outlook for Windows, and in August start rolling out to Outlook on the Mac.
Improved search
The moment you place your cursor in a search box, and before you type anything, you'll see recommendations generated by artificial intelligence and based on past searches or what you're working on.

A Lively Opening at Missouri Valley College
The Manifold Greatness traveling exhibit opened to great fanfare March 19 at Missouri Valley College's Murrell Memorial Library in Marshall, Missouri. David L. Roberts, Assistant Professor of Mass Communication at the college, presented his slideshow, "A Best-Seller like No Other: The King James Bible and Its 400 Years of Influence."
Students, faculty and community members attended the event and enjoyed not only the displays of historical Bibles, but also the displays of nativities, song books, and other church-related items.
Professor Roberts began his slideshow with the prose of the King James Bible. Comparing it to other and later versions of the Bible, the King James Version is poetic and sounds "pretty" when read aloud. One of the main points was that words sound better with an "eth" at the end. "Maketh," "sayeth," even "asseth!"
In the slideshow, Professor Roberts also pointed out some key elements of the Manifold Greatness exhibit. The influence of the King James Bible in popular literature, movies and music spans from children's programming (A Charlie Brown Christmas) to more adult music (The Byrds.) Also, the King James Bible reached new heights when the creation story was read by Apollo 8 astronauts as they rounded the moon.
Murrell Library is looking forward to several more speakers, fun activities, and even hosting a Last Feast reception during the Manifold Greatness exhibit.
Jae Steinkuhler is the special events coordinator at Murrell Library, Missouri Valley College.

Q: How to start your dialog application in hidden mode?
A: If you put the function 'ShowWindow(SW_HIDE)' in your 'OnInitDialog()', it won't have any effect, because 'OnInitDialog()' always finishes with calling 'ShowWindow(SW_SHOW)'. But there is a workaround for that. Create a 'BOOL' member variable into your dialog class and set it to 'FALSE' in the constructor.
Now override the 'WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING' message handler. Your code should look something like this to hide the dialog:Code:class CYourDialog : public CDialog { ... private: BOOL m_visible; }; CYourDialog::CYourDialog(CWnd* pParent /*=NULL*/) : CDialog(CYourDialog::IDD, pParent) { //... m_visible = FALSE; }
To make the dialog again visible, use the following code:Code:void CYourDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(WINDOWPOS FAR* lpwndpos) { if(!m_visible) { lpwndpos->flags &= ~SWP_SHOWWINDOW; } CDialog::OnWindowPosChanging(lpwndpos); }
Code://... m_visible = TRUE; ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); //...

Baruch College Students Lead the Way in Inaugural Institutional Investor All-America Student Analyst Competition
NEW YORK, NY - April 30, 2013 - Institutional Investor magazine announced the results of its first-ever All-America Student Analyst Competition, a contest that allowed undergraduate and graduate students in finance to test their mettle against like-minded participants to develop the best simulated stock portfolios.
Overall, 34 colleges and universities participated in this contest, totaling just under 700 students from the United States. Baruch College had the most students who finished in the Top 100 Overall Ranking, with 13 students.
The following Baruch students placed in the Top 100 Overall Ranking: Benjamin Chung (undergraduate), 3rd place; Ruming Huang (undergraduate), 4th place; Edwin Huang (undergraduate) 7th place; Michael Jimney (undergraduate), 9th place; Rigoberto Garcia (undergraduate) 22nd place; Ashfaq Khandaker (undergraduate) 27th place; Amir Mohsen Danesh Yazdi (undergraduate), 28th place; Pedro Orta (undergraduate) 37th place; Xiaodong Pan (undergraduate) 50th place; Rachid Afane (undergraduate) 65th place; Vivian Tsoi (undergraduate) 69th place; Manuel Cifuentes (undergraduate) 94th place; and Quan Lin (undergraduate) 95th place.
The All-America Student Analyst Competition, which ran from September 2012 through January 2013, was a collaborative event between Institutional Investor and Mark My Media, a Stamford, Connecticut�based firm that has built a sophisticated software platform to track portfolios of the participants. Performance was graded quantitatively on multiple factors to determine the overall winners, as well as those in seven different industry sectors.
Students started their portfolios with $100,000 each and had to follow Regulation T, the Federal Reserve Board rule designating a 50 percent major requirement on initial stock purchases. They were then free to trade in any of the seven Industry Sectors: Basic Materials, Capital Goods/Industrials, Consumer, Energy, Financial Institutions, Health Care and Technology, Media & Telecommunications. The trading books were maintained in a dedicated server that sits in an SAS-70 security-rated co-location facility similar to those financial institutions use.
In the Industry Sectors, Baruch College was well-represented by its students. Jason Tong, placed 3rd in the sector of Energy. In the Financial Institutions sector, Jason Tan placed 5th, Vivian Tsoi finished in 11th and Rigoberto Garcia placed 15th. In the Technology, Media & Telecommunications sector, Sharaf Islam finished in 11th place.
Baruch's Manuel Cifuentes finished in first place in the Long Alpha category, riding penny stock EP Global Communications, an Irvine, California-based medical device manufacturer and marketing company. The stock was trading under 1 cent per share when Cifuentes, a finance major, picked it up and had risen to 4 cents by the end of January.
In the Short Alpha category, Ding Siu Lau, placed 7th, Hajun Lee placed 9th, Sanguk Kim placed 13th, Edwin Huang placed 14th, Vivian Tsoi and Heather Alicia tied for 18th place.
In the Net Benchmark Outperformance category, Ruming Huang ranked 2nd, Manuel Cifuentes ranked 15th, Benjamin Chung ranked 16th, and Edwin Huang ranked 18th.

Why bedrest studies?
Preparing for spaceflight is no easy task. Sending people into space is expensive and dangerous while the effects of living beyond the pull of gravity are not fully understood. Space agencies need to research the effects of living in space on the human body without the risk and expense of the real thing.
Bedrest studies can answer questions on how our bodies adapt to living in space and on how our bodies adapt to growing old. Many of the findings from bedrest studies apply directly to people on Earth.
Astronauts in space undergo many physiological reactions when gravity no longer controls them. Look closely at pictures taken on the International Space Station and you will notice that astronauts have a larger, swollen, head than when they are on Earth, as if they were hanging upside-down.
Without gravity pulling on blood that usually pumps in our legs, blood flows to astronaut's heads resulting in what is sometimes called 'puffy-head bird-legs' syndrome.
A logical way to recreate this effect of living without gravity is to hang people upside-down. Luckily for the volunteers in bedrest studies, scientists found that keeping a test subject's head six degrees below horizontal works just as well.
There is more to bedrest than just blood flow. Astronaut's bones lose density by up to 2% a month during a stay in space. On Earth, similar bone loss is seen over a longer period of time, commonly known as osteoporosis.
So far, scientists are unsure of why this happens and have no effective way of stopping the process completely. Exercise seems to help, which is why a healthy lifestyle is recommended and why astronauts train two hours a day on special fitness machines.
Lying in bed with your head below the horizontal for weeks also results in bone loss. By studying bedrest volunteers, scientists can continuously examine changes in their bodies closely and easily.
Other changes that occur both in astronauts and bedrest volunteers include loss of muscle, changes in blood pressure and differences in how food is digested.
Monitoring changes is one thing but the goal is to find a way to overcome the negative effects of space travel. During bedrest studies, techniques to combat changes in our bodies are tested, from strict diets to specific exercise routines.
Aside from monitoring bodies and trying techniques to overcome negative changes, bedrest offers a perfect opportunity to test new medical equipment such as heart monitors and thermometers that can later be used on patients in hospitals around the world.
Results from these studies are helping people in similar situations. Rehabilitation after surgery or serious illness can mean weeks spent recuperating in bed. The research done on bedrest volunteers directly applies to these situations and is shared freely with scientists in all disciplines.
