Sophistic & Logic
This stratagem is how to defend from an "ad hominem" fallacy attack. It is related to the "caricature" fallacy.
Original text
Another trick is to take a proposition which is laid down relatively, and in reference to some particular matter, as though it were uttered with a general or absolute application; or, at least, to take it in some quite different sense, and then refute it. Aristotle's example is as follows:
A Moor is black; but in regard to his teeth he is white; therefore, he is black and not black at the same moment. This is an obvious sophism, which will deceive no one. Let us contrast it with one drawn from actual experience.
In talking of philosophy, I admitted that my system upheld the Quietists, and commended them. Shortly afterwards the conversation turned upon Hegel, and I maintained that his writings were mostly nonsense; or, at any rate, that there were many passages in them where the author wrote the words, and it was left to the reader to find a meaning for them. My opponent did not attempt to refute this assertion ad rem, but contented himself by advancing the argumentum ad hominem and telling me that I had just been praising the Quietists, and that they had written a good deal of nonsense too.
This I admitted; but, by way of correcting him, I said that I had praised the Quietists, not as philosophers and writers, that is to say, for their achievements in the sphere of theory, but only as men, and for their conduct in mere matters of practice; and that in Hegel's case we were talking of theories. In this way I parried the attack.
The first three tricks are of a kindred character. They have this in common, that something different is attacked from that which was asserted. It would therefore be an ignoratio elenchi to allow oneself to be disposed of in such a manner.
For in all the examples that I have given, what the opponent says is true, but it stands in apparent and not in real contradiction with the thesis. All that the man whom he is attacking has to do is to deny the validity of his syllogism; to deny, namely, the conclusion which he draws, that because his proposition is true, ours is false. In this way his refutation is itself directly refuted by a denial of his conclusion, per negationem consequentiae. Another trick is to refuse to admit true premisses because of a foreseen conclusion. There are two ways of defeating it, incorporated in the next two sections.

Baggage Handler Snoozes, Flies Off
By: Import User
Updated: March 31, 2009
Airport officials say the Jet Blue baggage handler was in the belly of the plane Saturday, loading luggage at JFK International Airport in New York.
That's when authorities say he apparently fell asleep, and woke up at Logan International Airport in Boston.
The baggage handler claims he was taking a break, when the doors closed on him.
Authorities say the baggage handler won't face any criminal charges.
After he was questioned, he was put back on a plane to New York.

I recently returned from Toledo, OH where I was attending the annual GAS (Glass Arts Society) Conference. This was my first year going and it was a really eye opening experience. There was so many great lectures and demonstrations, below is a link to my photobucket album:
This year was the 50th anniversary of the studio glass movement in America. It was started by Harvey Littleton and Dominick Labino in Toledo, when they held the first studio hot glass class ever. Many of the first students including Fritz Dreisbach and Marvin Lipofsky, who went out to teach their own classes were at the conference this year. Because I was with Randy Strong, who has been doing glass for 44 years, I really benefited by being able to meet a lot of the Old Timers from the glass movement.
If you are involved in glass or would like to be, this is definitely an event you don't want to miss!
These are a few of my favorite shots:

Writing in a parallel universe: How to achieve parallel structure in your sentences
ONLINE COLUMN: Watch Your Language
By Bonnie Trenga
Published: June 18, 2009
Writers work hard every day to churn out the best possible prose, and it's nice to receive some recognition. If you hope to win a Pulitzer, a National Book Award or perhaps just a positive review on Amazon, you first must compete for and win the Sentence Synchronization Award. This soon-to-be-coveted honor goes to writers who practice perfect parallelism within each sentence.
Non-parallel sentences like "Roger has graying hair, a calm voice and never seems to hurry" will get you nowhere. In fact, they can damage your credibility. At best, readers will giggle at your misshapen sentences; at worst, they'll believe you incompetent and will stop reading your work. Nobody wants that, so I'm hoping that all of you are up for this event.
To achieve parallelism, you must make the parts of your sentences perform like those synchronized swimmers at the Olympics, who line themselves up exactly and do the same actions simultaneously. The swimmers train, train, train so that they can be synchronized, synchronized, synchronized. That is what writers must do, too. You must train yourself in the art of making sentences parallel.
Making sure elements of a sentence are parallel is a bit like making sure a subject agrees with a verb—only it's harder. Subject-verb agreement involves matching only one subject with one verb; parallelism, on the other hand, can involve multiple elements. You must undergo a tough four-step training program to compete for a Sentence Synchronization Award. Fear not; as your dedicated coach, I will be with you every step of the way.
Step 1 is to practice identifying sentences that contain like elements. A simple sentence like this won't concern those in training because it doesn't contain elements that need to be parallel: "The swimmers were beautifully synchronized." On the other hand, complex sentences that contain more than one like element must be parallel: "The swimmers had to jump into the water, swim upside down and point their toes." The like elements in this sentence are "jump into the water," "swim upside down" and "point their toes." The swimmers had to verb, verb, verb.
Moving on to Step 2, you will learn about what I call the base word, which changes with each sentence. The base word is the word that matches up with each element in the sentence. Looking back at the swimmers sentence, trainees will notice that the elements "jump," "swim" and "point" all fit nicely with the word "to," which is the base word in this sentence. It's tricky to notice a potential parallelism problem, so contestants should set aside time to practice identifying base words in sentences. Then repeat—as in, actually write down repeatedly—the base word in each sentence. Practice repeating yourself like this: "The synchronized swimmers enjoy jumping into the water, enjoy being upside down and enjoy pointing their toes." Quick, identify the base word! This exercise might not yield pretty sentences, but it is an intermediary step that if repeated enough will lead you toward the gold—I mean, award.
In Step 3, competition hopefuls will make sure that all of the elements that go with the base word are equal, at the same level, parallel. For example, this sentence is not parallel: "The swimmers decided to get out of the pool and that they needed a bite to eat." Although the infinitive "to get" and the "that" clause both go with the base word "decided," these two elements do not match each other. You need two infinitives or two "that" clauses, not one of each. If you want to try out for the event, pick one of these methods and reword this sentence now. Be sure that the parts of speech match up.
As the final training step, you will test your parallelism skills by writing normal, complex sentences. Then you'll need to ensure that the sentences are parallel in both ways: elements are parallel with the base word and elements are parallel with each other. The catch is that this time you won't repeat the base word. You'll have to jump straight into the pool without a life jacket.
Be reassured, however, that when you get to Step 4, you'll have had so much practice matching base words to elements and matching elements with elements that it will be easy for you to spot unparallel sentences. Take this ungrammatical sentence, for example: "The synchronized swimmers were agile, precise and eventually got used to their nose pinchers." What? (Negative buzz sound from the judge--me.) Not parallel: adjective ("agile"), adjective ("precise"), adverb-verb ("eventually got"). If you write a sentence like this, you will definitely not win the award. Please rewrite it now.
As your coach, I want you to win the Sentence Synchronization Award. Use the four steps as you work to correct these Criminal Sentences:
Criminal Sentence 1:
"She was smart, decisive and had sound judgment."
Criminal Sentence 2:
"The sadist chopped off fingers, toes and gouged out eyes."
Criminal Sentence 3:
"At the top of the trail you'll want to stop for a drink, some snacks and to take
in the incredible view."
Criminal Sentence 4:
"The agency spied on other countries, conducted sabotage and assassinations."
Criminal Sentence 5:
"The athlete has competed in seven races, won six medals and has a chance to compete for the world record."
E-mail your rewrites to me at
. As a bonus, fix the sentence featuring Roger at the beginning of this article.
Practice the four steps diligently, and rest assured that if I proudly bestow the Sentence Synchronization Award on you, you won't have to wear that pinched-nose thingy as proof that you won. The proof of the pudding will be in the eating; i.e., perfectly crafted, perfectly parallel sentences that I hope will win you plenty of accolades.
Sentence rewrites:
Note: You can rewrite these sentences in other ways, too.
Criminal Sentence 1:
"She was smart and decisive, and she had sound judgment, too."
Criminal Sentence 2:
"The sadist chopped off fingers, hacked away toes and gouged out eyes."
Criminal Sentence 3:
"At the top of the trail you'll want to stop for some refreshments and to take in the incredible view."
Criminal Sentence 4:
"The agency spied on other countries, conducted sabotage and carried out assassinations."
Criminal Sentence 5:
"The athlete has competed in seven races, has won six medals and has a chance to compete for the world record."

MATH-006 Statistics with Exploratory Data Analysis
The primary objective of this beginning course in statistics is to have students learn and understand statistical concepts without being overwhelmed by cumbersome formulae and computations. The emphasis will be on data exploration and graphical techniques. Topics to be covered will include descriptive statistics, measures of center and spread, linear regression, probability theory, sampling, random variables and probability distributions. Uniform, discrete, binomial, normal, t and chi-square distributions will be among those used to introduce statistical inference, including estimation and hypothesis testing. Considerable use will be made of video tapes and computers. All classes will be held in the computer lab where the statistical software MINITAB will be taught and used to simplify computation and enhance graphical presentations. A computer tutorial will also be used. Minimum computer ability is recommended (but not required). This course is regarded as a core course (or SONY core course, as appropriate) for completion of the math/science requirement in the College. Fall and Spring.

If the weather is clear and dry Thursday, homes near Avenue 240 and Road 244 near Lindsay will be crawling with State Crews. Workers will be spraying back yard citrus, hoping to get rid of the Asian Citrus Psyllid.
Steve Lyle with the California Department of Food and Agriculture said over the phone, "It's a two pronged approach to take care of any psyllids that might be in the vicinity right now and then to provide protection for up to a year."
The psyllid is a destructive pest. It can carry a citrus tree killing disease known as "Citrus Greening." Places like Florida and Brazil are infested with the bug and the disease.
In Tulare County, the problem isn't nearly as bad. But the county has discovered three psyllids, two were found recently.
The County's Deputy Ag Commissioner, Gavin Iacono said, "Obviously we're all upset and nervous about it, this could really impact the whole industry for Tulare County."
At this point, citrus in the county will not be quarantined. Instead, the state is working on smaller restriction zones. Fruit will be able to leave those zones but it would have to be stripped of stems and leaves first. The plan will only affect a half mile radius where each bug was found.
"We're not issuing the restrictions over a large area as a quarantine would establish." Lyle added, "If we don't find additional pests in six months, the restrictions could be lifted."
That's good news for growers and nurseries. But the plan could change if more psyllids turn up.
The State will only be spraying residential properties. Growers normally spray on their own. Home owners can refuse treatment but the state and county are hoping everyone will cooperate.

Asslamo a'likum, i have read few books about christianity and there was a mention of their religious habits. They sometimes, before sleeping, thank God for the blessings in that day and ask Him for more. I liked the idea and I know there is better in Islam. But what i wanted to ask is that if I did such thing "thanking Allah before bed time" because I read that christians do so. Does that make me behave like them?. Thanks wa jazakum Allah 5airan |
Teenmuslim: That you say is quite remarkable for a muslim dont you think to say that about christians... The next would be that you say that christians also stole that Jesus would come again if you understand my point here... To answer the question here so is it not remarkable to thank God before sleep, it is a thank you for the life and day given. It does not take a nuclear physicist to find that out, even Satan knows that... It doesn´t make you any more alike a Christian or a Muslim, it makes you a believer... |
dont you think that this is Islamic way? they do just as we do, and thanking Allah before bed time dosent make you like them as long as you are Muslim. |

We would like to hear your views about how the LAARC Online Catalogue can be improved. Please click the 'Leave Feedback' link below - you will be redirected to a survey page with background information about the LAARC Online Catalogue redevelopment project. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Leave Feedback No, Thank You
In this version of LAARC Catalogue Search API the response format is an xml document. In the future we may offer other response formats such as json, html, csv or name=value strings.
The root of the response is a SearchResult element.
The summary of the SearchResult members is given on the left panel of this page.
There are 2 outcomes of any search operation:
If the outcome of the search is negative, an Error element of the SearchResult would contain the details as well as the attribute Success of the root element SearchResult will be set to false.
If the outcome is positive the Success attribute will be set to true, the Error element will be empty and the element ResultSet will contain data.
The child elements of the ResultSet correspond to the list of domain objects.
The type of listed domain objects is indicated by the ResultSetType attribute of the root element SearchResult. The sub-elements of each domain object element are the properties of that domain object. They roughly correspond to the database table fields. The ID fields and unique codes by which the object can be uniquely identified in most cases are presented as attributes rather then sub-elements. The important relationship identifiers (e.g. foreign keys) are also presented as attributes.
The search criteria, i.e. the query parameters given in the URL query string, are translated into 3 objects - SearchCriteria, DisplayCriteria and ResultPager.
Each of these objects lists the criteria as element attributes.
The element has no attributes if no criteria is defined for a respective criteria object. They are included in the response for the client's convenience to match the search request with the data returned in the response.
The root of the xml document returned in the response. See members of the SearchResult in the left panel of this page.
Search Result has 2 attributes Success and ResultSetType.
An attribute of the root element of the xml document returned in the response.
Indicates if the outcome of the search operation was successful or not. The value false indicates a negative outcome, true indicates positive outcome. If Success is set to false check the contents of Error element for the details of the search operation failure.
Indicates the type of the domain objects listed as children of the ResultSet element. These types are given in the left panel of this page under ResultSet .
Search query parameters are put together as attributes of SearchCriteria element. Currently SearchCriteria element has no child nodes.
DisplayCriteria contains information about the display of the output. A preferred display of the output may be passed as request parameters. Alternatively DisplayCriteria may indicate variations in the display of the results. Currently there are neither variations in the output display nor there are request parameters that specify an alternative output.
This element is empty and is reserved for the future use.
All queries that return a list of results are paged. ResultPager contains the details of how the application treated the pageno and perpage parameters.
See Introduction to the Request section
The content of Error element is set when the outcome of the search operation is negative. If Error element is non-empty the attribute of the SearchResult xml document root element is also set to false.
Error is returned in all cases when search query could not produce a valid RsultSet including the case when no results were found.
Other common cases of error are invalid request parameters.
As the Laarc Catalogue Search API is in its absolute infancy some errors may relate to application bugs, which are indicated by Bug and Unknown error types.
If you get a Bug related error, please do send us an email.
Here is an example of an Error resulting from bad query parameters
ResultSet is the container element for results.
Even if an API method is designed to return a single result, this single result is enclosed in the ResultSet .
Child elements of the ResultSet are the domain objects listed in order of their retrieval from the data sources.
The types of the domain objects enclosed in the ResultSet are given on the left panel of this page.
The attribute ResultSetType of the root of the xml document tells us about the type of the domain object being listed in the ResultSet (as in Generics).
Site element refers to basic archaeological site record. The type Site corresponds to the domain object type and is the root of the data record.
Element Site has many child elements which correspond to data fields and object properties. Attributes of the Site element include id and Sitecode the two unique identifiers of a site record.
SiteInfo extends the Site type. This is indicated by the node's attribute Extends. SiteInfo includes the basic Site record as its child.
It also includes the site Archive record and some other related information.
The attributes RegFinds, BulkFinds, Publications tell us
Archive type shows the contents of the deposited archive that relates to an archaeological site. Archive is uniquely identified by Sitecode given as an attribute of the Archive element. The attribute isDeposited has value true if there is a digitised bundle that can be downloaded as a zip file.
The url of the zip bundle is then given in RepositoryUrl element. Othervise repositoryUrl element is empty.
The contents of an Archive is grouped by Categories and Groups of Components.
Each Component is a bundle of archive records.
MolObject is the base type for all types of archaeological objects, namely registered and bulk finds.
The codes that uniquely identify objects are id and ObjectCode.
Objects relate to sites by a SiteId or a Sitecode.
id and SiteId are listed as attributes. Sitecode and ObjectCode – as elements.
ObjectCode for MOLA objects has an awkward format and thus is enclosed in CDATA section.
RegFind extends MolObject . Attribute Extends of the root node indicates this fact. It is much like MolObject with addition of few more elements such as Context, FindId and IdEndPart.
BulkFind type extends MolObject . Attribute Extends of the root node indicates this fact. It is much like MolObject with addition of few more elements such as Context, FindId and IdEndPart.
Search API searches only publications that relate to archaeological sites whose records are archived in LAARC.

Black Friday madness creeps into Thursday as stores open Thanksgiving night
Black Friday got off to its earliest start ever as the nation's shoppers put down their turkey and headed straight to the malls.
Stores typically open in the wee hours of the morning on the day after Thanksgiving that's named Black Friday because it's traditionally when they turn a profit for the year. In fact, generations of shoppers have made Black Friday rituals of going to bed early after munching on turkey and pumpkin pie so that they can head out to stores early the next day.
But Black Friday openings have crept earlier and earlier over the past few years as stores have experimented with ways to compete with online rivals like Amazon.com that can offer holiday shopping deals at any time and on any day. And this year, crowds gathered across the country as stores such as Target and Toys R Us opened on Thanksgiving evening, while retailers from Macy's to Best Buy opened their doors at midnight on Black Friday.
About 11,000 shoppers were in lines wrapped around Macy's flagship store in New York City's Herald Square when it opened. Joan Riedewald, a private aide for the elderly, and her four children ages six to 18, where among them. By the time they showed up at the department store, Riedewalde had already spent about $100 at Toys R Us and planned to spend another $500 at Macy's before heading to Old Navy.
"I only shop for sales," she said.
Retailers are hoping that the earlier openings will help boost sales this holiday season. It is unclear how many shoppers took advantage of the earlier openings. But about 17 percent of shoppers said earlier this month that they planned to shop at stores that opened on Thanksgiving, according to an International Council of Shopping Centers-Goldman Sachs survey of 1,000 consumers. Overall, it's estimated that sales on Black Friday will be up 3.8 percent to $11.4 billion this year.
The earlier hours are an effort by stores to make shopping as convenient as possible for Americans, who they fear won't spend freely during the two-month holiday season in November and December because of economic uncertainty. Many shoppers are worried about high unemployment and a package of tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" that will take effect in January unless Congress passes a budget deal by then. At the same time, Americans have grown more comfortable shopping on websites that offer cheap prices and the convenience of being able to buy something from smartphones, laptops and tablet computers from just about anywhere.
That's put added pressure on brick-and-mortar stores, which can make up to 40 percent of their annual revenue during the holiday shopping season, to give consumers a compelling reason to leave their homes. That's becoming more difficult: the National Retail Federation, an industry trade group, estimates that overall sales in November and December will rise 4.1 percent this year to $586.1 billion, or about flat with last year's growth. But the online part of that is expected to rise 15 percent to $68.4 billion, according to Forrester Research.
As a result, brick-and-mortar retailers have been trying everything they can to lure consumers into stores. Some stores tested the earlier hours last year, but this year more retailers opened their doors late on Thanksgiving or earlier on Black Friday. In addition to expanding their hours, many also are offering free layaways and shipping, matching the cheaper prices of online rivals and updating their mobile shopping apps with more information.
"Every retailer wants to beat everyone else," said C. Britt Beemer, chairman of America's Research Group, a research firm based in Charleston, S.C. "Shoppers love it." Continued...
Indeed, some holiday shoppers seemed to find stores' earlier hours appealing. "I ate my turkey dinner and came right here," said Rasheed Ali, a 23-year-old student in New York City who bought a 50-inch Westinghouse TV for $349 and a Singer sewing machine for $50 at a Target in New York City's East Harlem neighborhood that opened at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. "Then I'm going home and eating more."
Carey Maguire, 33, and her sister Caitlyn Maguire, 21, showed up at the same Target about two hours before it opened. Their goal was to buy several Nook tablet computers, which were on sale for $49. But while waiting in line they were also using their iPhone to do some online buying at rival stores.
"If you're going to spend, I want to make it worth it," said Caitlyn Maguire, a college student.
By the afternoon on Thanksgiving, there were 11 shoppers in a four-tent encampment outside a Best Buy store near Ann Arbor, Mich., that opened at midnight. The purpose of their wait? A $179 40-inch Toshiba LCD television is worth missing Thanksgiving dinner at home.
Jackie Berg, 26, of Ann Arbor, arrived first with her stepson and a friend Wednesday afternoon, seeking three of the televisions. The deal makes the TVs $240 less than their normal price, so Berg says that she'll save more than $700.
"We'll miss the actual being there with family, but we'll have the rest of the weekend for that," she said.
While some hoppers appreciated the early start to the holiday shopping season, some workers were expected to protest the expanded hours. Wal-Mart, the world's largest retailer, has been one of the biggest targets of protests against holiday hours. Many of Wal-Mart's stores are open 24 hours, but the company offered early bird specials that once were reserved for Black Friday at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving instead.
The issue is part of a broader campaign against the company's treatment of workers that's being waged by a union-backed group called OUR Walmart, which includes former and current workers. The group is staging demonstrations and walkouts at hundreds of stores on Black Friday.
Mary Pat Tifft, a Wal-Mart employee in Kenosha, Wis., who is a member of OUR Walmart, started an online petition on signon.org that has about 34,000 signatures. "This Thanksgiving, while millions of families plan to spend quality time with their loved ones, Wal-Mart associates have been told we will be stocking shelves and preparing sales starting at 8 p.m.," she wrote on the site.
OUR Walmart said workers walked off their jobs in stores in Dallas, Miami and Kenosha, Wis., on Thursday. But a spokeswoman for the group did not immediately give numbers on how many workers participated. Continued...
For their part, retailers say they are giving shoppers what they want. Dave Tovar, a Wal-Mart spokesman, said that the discounter learned from shoppers that they want to start shopping right after Thanksgiving dinner. Then, they want to have time to go to bed before they wake up to head back out to the stores.
Still, Tovar said that Wal-Mart works to accommodate its workers' requests for different working hours. "We spent a lot of time talking to them, trying to figure out when would be the best time for our events," he said.

Following a weekend in which audiences were obsessed with Obsessed and I was in San Diego for 3 days drinking myself into oblivion with some friends where I saw many women who almost made Angelina Jolie look like Roseanne Barr, here's the latest film news.
First off, here is a pic of the cover of the "Art of Terminator Salvation" book. Is it just me or does the background look a lot like The Matrix's real world?
There might not be a third X-Files film or will there be? Fans grill the creator and a key writer about this and more at [Hero Complex] with a video interview.
David Cronenberg's 1983 thriller Videodrome is getting a remake. [The HD Room] has more info on what is expected to be a big budget sci-fi film with a "nano-technology" focus. If you have seen the original, please share.
The Company Men, not to be confused with In The Company of Men, has added Maria Bello and Craig T. Nelson ("Coach" in the house!) to a cast that already included Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner, and Tommy Lee Jones, not to be confused with Tommy Lee. "You cannot reduce me to his size." [Movie Jungle]
I came to be an insider film fan through "Premiere" magazine which has been defunct in print form for a few years now. [Thompson on Hollywood] mentions that former magazine "Movieline" is putting it's archives online but Primo continues to lag behind. Just an FYI for those that care about an older age of film news, before the 'net.
More Megan Fox Jonah Hex set pics have emerged today via [Movie Gab]. These are sans robe like the previous pics, meaning she is wearing less, meaning that's a good thing.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall and busted his damn head open, so that is indeed horrific. Hence, Humpty Dumpty comes around, a horror/sci-fi film that [Dread Central] says is to be directed by David R. Ellis of Snakes on a Plane infamy. Can't wait for this one!!
Finally, [Film School Rejects] tells of Kevin McDonald (State of Play director) next project being Isaac Asimov's End of Eternity. It bares no relation to the Governator's End of Days from the past.

In a historic show of unity, leading African-American media entities are uniting to bring awareness of black buying power to large advertisers and general audiences through the #INTHEBLACK campaign, which launches today.
Organizations in this consortium include BET Networks, HuffPost BlackVoices, Black Enterprise, Burrell Communications, Cable Advertising Bureau, Essence Communications, GlobalHue, Inner City Broadcasting Company, KJLH Radio, Johnson Publishing Company, National Association of Black Owned Broadcasters, Nielsen, North Star Group, National Newspaper Publishers Association, One Solution, Radio One, TV One, Interactive One, Reach Media, Steve Harvey Radio, TheGrio, The Root, The Africa Channel, UniWorld Group, Vibe Media and Walton Isaacson. The consortium is launching a revolutionary #INTHEBLACK campaign to encourage increased investments in the African American consumer marketplace while helping companies reach the African American audience more effectively.
The consortium will use its collective resources and strength to speak to the advertising community and consumer audience to raise awareness and create a sense of urgency around the economic opportunity the black consumer segment presents. African American media has the unique ability to reach the African American consumer base directly and is an important resource in identifying and establishing trends within the black community. #INTHEBLACK aims to amplify the value of engaging African Americans through black targeted media and agencies.
African Americans represent over 42 million strong consumers, product talkers and brand influencers with a buying power of nearly one trillion dollars annually. By 2015, African American buying power is estimated to gain a whopping 35% hitting 1.2 trillion dollars, up from $913 billion in 2008.* African Americans are mega consumers beating out all other ethnic groups in the consumption of automobiles, wine & spirits, baby care products, groceries, health and beauty products, personal care products, apparel, electronics, movies and travel and entertainment.
"We are excited to partner with some of the nation's most influential media and marketing groups to highlight the growing economic opportunity of the Black marketplace. As a collective, we are better positioned to demonstrate the value of targeting the black consumer audience and partnering with leading brands to help them succeed" said Debra Lee, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, for BET Networks.
African Americans are crucial to the consumer economy and their sphere of influence is growing rapidly:
• With buying power of nearly one trillion annually, if African Americans were a country, they would represent the 16th largest economy in the world (slightly smaller than Canada but larger than Australia) – Nielsen 2011 State of the African American Consumer
• Between 2000-2009, African American homes have experienced significant growth among households earning $75,000+ (up 63.9%) and households earning $100,000+ (up 88.7%) – Nielsen 2011 State of the African American Consumer
• Nearly one out of every seven babies born in the United States are of African American descent – National Center for Health Statistics based on CDC's National Vital Statistics 2010
• There are 1,702 African American babies born daily; more than half a million AA babies (623,029 babies) join our population every year – Source: US Census Statistical Abstracts- Live Births, Birth Rates and Fertility Rates.
Every hour on the hour, there are 71 African American babies entering the world's population– Source: US Census Statistical Abstracts- Live Births, Birth Rates and Fertility Rates.
#INTHEBLACK will be keeping consumers informed on companies that are exemplary leaders in supporting and working with the African American community. For more information or to find out how you can help, visit areyouintheblack.org.

TV Review: 'The Job' plays off a struggling economy
"The Job," which premieres Friday on CBS, puts a reality-show spin on the hiring process — which is to say, it does explicitly what many reality shows do figuratively. Here, five "highly qualified candidates," a new batch each week, sell themselves to a tribunal of executives who will hire one for their company (also new each week) within the hour.

In 1898 national attention focused on Florida as the Spanish-American War began. The port city of Tampa served as the primary staging area for U.S. troops bound for the war in Cuba. The arrival of over 30,000 troops, including Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and his Rough Riders cavalry unit, changed Tampa from a small town into a city.
Florida, the closest state to the Caribbean and home to a large Cuban immigrant population, became the setting for much of the action in Cuba's fight for independence from Spain.

Each year QRP ARCI organises an operating event known as 'The QRP Challenge'.
In 2013 the challenge is to work at least 100 QRP ARCI club members to qualify for The BIG 13 Award.
There was a time, in the 60s and 70s, when QRP ARCI members were working each other on QRP and exchanging membership numbers. In fact, some of the early issues of the QRP Quarterly were filled with reports from members showing achievements working other members – tracking their totals.
You may (in fact, are encouraged) to work members multiple times even though only the first contact in 2013 will count. Numbers exchanged during QRP ARCI contests will of course count toward your totals. You'll also be asked for the name of your favorite local, regional, or international QRP club (if you have one) and special recognition will go to those clubs who turn out the greatest number of members playing.
Use the link below to send us your totals.
We will be soliciting "status reports" and publishing them here on the club website. And let's see who can complete their 100 members BIG 13 AWARD by the FDIM at Dayton! If you attend FDIM and have qualified for the award, you will be recognized.
Jim, W4QO
QRP ARCI Publicity Officer

Thanks for the alert, Iain. I voted for Tony Benn of course.
As for Maggie (pbuh), she was a giant among dwarves, honest and strong, but so terribly misguided at times.
My political hero is - The Unknown MP - the constituency MP who year after year takes the needs of his local people seriously and represents them as an MP should. An MP who sees that fairness and justice is applied to little people with pressing needs who visit his surgery and are helped, perhaps with a letter, or a word in the right place.
That is my hero, not some televisual soundbite merchant. - January 05, 2007 11:35 am
Thanks for the reminder Iain... that's another vote for Tone (not that he would appreciate this 'personality cult' nonsense.

My gripe with that poll is that there weren't enough centerists like Denis Healey or Gordon Brown!
- January 05, 2007 11:41 am
Given the way the voting is going, you have to wonder where the nominations come from. Or how there is a 5-2 split to the left in the nominations. I'd guess the "whittling" played more of a part in shaping this list than any viewer voting.
- January 05, 2007 11:56 am
"Manificent" and "Kinnock" in the same sentence. Sheer lunacy.
- January 05, 2007 11:56 am
I voted for Tony Benn. Thanks
- January 05, 2007 12:00 pm
Much as I admire Tony Benn as a politician, I was very surprised how popular he was when I did this poll earlier. Must be the Tory accent and his fancy title.
- January 05, 2007 12:01 pm
I wonder if there will be complaints over rigging if Benn wins.
Probably not as its the 'desired outcome'. - January 05, 2007 12:12 pm
Who's that woman next to that famous man?
- January 05, 2007 12:13 pm
Admire Tony Benn as a politician? You must be joking. A man who has been wrong about everything, yet still gets rolled out ad nauseam by the BBC as an "expert" commentator. I've seen him twice recently -- first talking of Gerald Ford, and then on the execution of Saddam Hussein -- with nothing of worth to say on either. And as for him having no time for "personality cult" nonsense, just issues you understand, what bollocks. This is a man, after all, who has been rewriting history to cast himself in the best possible light every day foe god knows how many years. It's just that he's only interested in the one personality that matters to him.

As much as I admire Tony Benn's contribution to keeping the Tories in power for a decade and more I feel most of the credit should go to Maggie.
- January 05, 2007 12:30 pm
Of the seven only one got the top job, all the rest ended up as wannbe-nevermadeits, 'cept maybe for Norm, who as far as I know never expressed any ambitions in that direction.
So what's so magnificent about most of these?
Windbags, fantasists with delusions of adequacy, a Euro-pol over-seeing corruption that would make NuLab gasp with envy, plus our Norm and Herself.
Magnificent lefties my arse.
Now if they'd put in Frank Field or Peter Shore....
As it is, they're appealing to the tribal vote: actual merit has little to do with it. - January 05, 2007 1:17 pm

Will this post have the same effect as the Today poll that was "influenced" by the Countryside Alliance? Someone sad person with nothing better to do might complain. Then again, more traffic for you, I suppose!
- January 05, 2007 1:28 pm
Thanks for mentioning this poll. As it's sadly limited to living types I've had to vote for Neil Kinnock for services against 'Militant'.
- January 05, 2007 1:31 pm
Whoever posted as Verity above was not me. I didn't know about the poll until I just read about it here, and I immediately went and voted for Maggie.
I loathe Tony Benn and all the other slithy socialist toves. Absolutely despise them. - January 05, 2007 3:42 pm

To give him his due, compared to the current crop of illiberal, self centred, bum wipes, Wedgie actually wasn't a bad MP. Seriously misguided, maybe, but not bad.
Still can't have a loopie leftie beating the Blessed Margaret (pbuh) so I've voted appropriately. The score stands at 34.99% to 34.92% now with Maggie making a strong fight back down the far straight. - January 05, 2007 3:47 pm
Just when I feel tempted to vote Conservative the ghost of that dreadful woman arises. It reminds me that I could never vote Tory because there are far too many of her disciples still lurking behind Cameron.
I can never ever understand the Tories weak at the knees obsession for Thatcher. This was the woman who destroyed Britain - dividing it's people, selling off everything she possibly could...transport, utilities. She began the rot admirably continued by Blair.
(Just the opinion of a floating voter who should probably accept that the Tories will take a long *long* time to change.) - January 05, 2007 4:07 pm

- David Lindsay said...
Why? As a consolation prize for being wrong about Europe, whereas you now admit that Tony Benn was right all along?
After all, what, exactly, was "Thatcherism"? What did she ever actually do? Well, she gave Britain the Single European Act, the Anglo-Irish Agreement, the Exchange Rate Mechanism, the Police and Criminal Evidence Act, the replacement of O-levels with GCSEs, and the destruction of paternal authority within working-class families and communities through the destruction of that authority's economic basis in the stockades of working-class male employment.
No Prime Minister, ever, has done more in any one, never mind all, of the causes of European federalism, Irish Republicanism, sheer economic incompetence, Police inefficiency and ineffectiveness, collapsing educational standards, and everything that underlies or follows from the destruction of paternal authority.
Meanwhile (indeed, thereby), the middle classes were transformed from people like her father into people like her son. She told us that "there is no such thing as society", in which case there cannot be any such thing as the society that is the family, or the society that is the nation. Correspondingly, she misdefined liberty as the "freedom" to behave in absolutely any way that one saw fit. All in all, she turned Britain into the country that Marxists had always said it was, even though, before her, it never actually had been.
Specifically, she sold off national assets at obscenely undervalued prices, while subjecting the rest of the public sector (forty per cent of the economy) to an unprecedented level of central government dirigisme. She presided over the rise of Political Correctness, that most 1980s of phenomena, and so much of piece with that decade's massively increased welfare dependency and its moral chaos, both fully sponsored by the government, and especially by the Prime Minister, of the day.
Hers was the war against the unions, which cannot have had anything to do with monetarism, since the unions have never controlled the money supply. For good or ill, but against all her stated principles, hers was the refusal (thank goodness, but then I am no "Thatcherite") to privatise the Post Office, as her ostensible ideology would have required.
And hers were the continuing public subsidies to fee-paying schools, to agriculture, to nuclear power, and to mortgage-holders. Without those public subsidies, the fourth would hardly have existed, and the other three (then as now) would not have existed at all. So much for "You can't buck the market". You can now, as you could then, and as she did then. You know this from experience if that experience extends to any one or more of fee-paying schools, agriculture (or, at least, land ownership), nuclear power, and mortgage holding. The issue is not whether these are good or bad things in themselves. It is whether "Thatcherism", as ordinarily and noisily proclaimed (or derided), was compatible with their continuation by means of "market-bucking" public subsidies. It simply was not, as it simply is not.
Hers was the ludicrous pretence to have brought down the Soviet Union merely because she happened to be in office when that Union happened to collapse, as it would have done anyway, in accordance with the predictions of (among other people) Enoch Powell. But she did make a difference internationally where it was possible to do so, precisely by providing aid and succour to Pinochet's Chile and to apartheid South Africa. I condemn the former as I condemn Castro, and I condemn the latter as I condemn Mugabe (or Ian Smith, for that matter). No doubt you do, too. But she did not, as she still does not.
And hers was what amounted to the open invitation to Argentina to invade the Falkland Islands, followed by the (starved) Royal Navy's having to behave as if the hopelessly out-of-her-depth Prime Minister did not exist, a sort of coup without which those Islands would be Argentine to this day.
There are many other aspects of any "Thatcherism" properly so called, and they all present her in about as positive a light. None of them, nor any of the above, was unwitting, forced on her by any sort of bullying, or whatever else her apologists might insist was the case. Rather, they were exactly what she intended.
Other than the subsidies to agriculture (then as now) and to nuclear power (now, if not necessarily then), I deplore and despise every aspect of her above record and legacy, for unashamedly Old Labour reasons. Indeed, the definition of New Labour is to support and to celebrate that record and legacy, because it did exactly as it was intended to do, entrenching, in and through the economic sphere, the social revolution of the 1960s. You should not so support or celebrate unless you wish to be considered New Labour.
But then again, who cares these days? Or, rather, who really ought to care? When the next General Election is upon us, people will have the vote who were not born when she was removed from office in order to restore the public order that had broken down because of what, in her allegedly paradigmatic United States, would have been her unconstitutional Poll Tax. At that Election, my own generation of post-Thatcher teenagers will first enter Parliament in some numbers, a few being already there. And by the time of the Election after that … well, you can finish that sentence for yourself.
Twenty Years On, as Alan Bennett might once have put it, we have an opportunity to consign her to the history books once and for all. That opportunity was denied in 1990, when her ejection by her own party turned her into a mythical figure. Such would not have been her lot if the Poll Tax had simply ensured her removal by the electorate, probably in 1991. But, better late than never, let us take our opportunity in 2007.
Get over her! - January 05, 2007 4:14 pm
- David Lindsay said...
Oh, and Dean, the "credit" goes to the SDP: the combined Labour and SDP votes were higher than the Tory vote both in 1983 and in 1987. It's as simple as that; there's nothing else to it at all.
So the "credit", if any be due, should go the last old SDP hands still active in public life: Andrew Adonis and Polly Toynbee. I hope that they are both very proud. - January 05, 2007 4:18 pm
...or how there is a 5-2 split to the left in the nominations...
Eh? This is a BBC poll after all. What do you expect? Come on, do keep up. - January 05, 2007 4:20 pm
- David Lindsay said...
No offence to Norman Tebbit, but who on earth would vote for him rather than Margaret Thatcher? Surely, even he himself would vote for her, and might very well have done so?
- January 05, 2007 4:20 pm
I note that since you mentioned this Iain that MT has taken the lead.
I feel a small sense of pride in knowing my vote has helped to achieve this. - January 05, 2007 5:24 pm
can i be alone in wondering what difference there really was 9other than a fondness for gin over tea) between Thatcher and Benn? They were both two of the bossiest and most up-their-own-urs politicians that Britain has ever known.
- January 05, 2007 5:54 pm
Floating Voter - Yackety, yackety, yack. Don't you people ever stop whining? You are not a floating voter. Your words belie your claim.
- January 05, 2007 6:05 pm
Verity - I am "you people"?!? Have we met? In fact I am just a casual reader of this blog- believe it or not I am not some part of some sinister anti Tory group!
If this is how you would attract the undecided voter then please never ever go out canvassing! - January 05, 2007 7:19 pm
Sorry Iain, I've already voted for Tony Benn. I can't quite understand why you haven't either ? He and Maggie have more in common than you might imagine.
Both have realised [too late in Mrs T's case] how badly we have been stitched up by the lack of democracy in the EU project, and the fact that it is pretty much too late to do a thing about it. Euro or no Euro. - January 05, 2007 8:14 pm
f-v, for goodness sake don't respond to verity - it only encourages her.
- January 05, 2007 8:19 pm
Difficult. No Peel, no Gladstone, no Goldwater. Not even Enoch.
On balance, I can live with a Benn win given that, along with Foot, he probably did more than anyone to get, and then keep, Maggie in office. He is quite clearly a right-wing plant. - January 05, 2007 8:21 pm
Talking of which, what did Lemsip Optic get as a prize for winning the Lib Dem of the year contest on your esteemed site ??
Of course, that in no way damaged the credibility of internet polls, oh no sirree... - January 05, 2007 8:28 pm
Rejoice at that news the the old girl is back in the lead.
Iain - please, please, please keep the link published near the top over the next few days so that the enemy within doesn't triumph.
I'm genuinely sorry Norman Tebbit's vote is being squeezed - he ranks far and above all the other non-entities. It won't be the first or last time he's helped Maggie at his own expense.
Oh, and Dave Lindsay - the 42/3% of the vote in 79, 83 and 87 on 70%+ turnouts rank favourably to Blair - particularly in 2005. - January 05, 2007 8:35 pm
Floating Voter writes: "believe it or not I am not some part of some sinister anti Tory group!"
No, I would not have characterised you so dramatically. You're not sinister. You are a lefty.
I promise I won't ever go out canvassing during a British election. - January 06, 2007 12:12 am

Dean, I do not dispute that it "ranks favourably to Blair". But that's not saying anything. I carry no candle for Blair, let me assure you!
- January 06, 2007 1:31 am
It's going to be a landslide!
- January 06, 2007 9:15 am
@ Verity:
Well it must be very convenient to believe politics is so black and white. So in your mind do floating voters not exsist? Are all people who dislike Thatcher just lefties who Cameron may as well ignore? Not very smart approach to winning support from the general public is it? - January 06, 2007 10:32 pm
"No Prime Minister, ever, has done more in any one, never mind all, of the causes of European federalism, Irish Republicanism, sheer economic incompetence, Police inefficiency and ineffectiveness, collapsing educational standards, and everything that underlies or follows from the destruction of paternal authority"
Any thoughts on David Lindsay's words n Thatcher there Verity?;)
In my opinion - she was the best Tory Leader since Churchill despite all her flaws and contradictions. - January 07, 2007 10:45 pm
Gaffauk - I agree. She was the best, most-principle driven, truest prime minister since Churchill. When you look at the slurry to which the British Cabinet allowed themselves to be sluice to, the heart despairs. Will we ever get our Britain back? And why did so many millions cede it away with constant votes for the vivaporous nest of Gramscians, who have accomplished much in the ten years of their destructive mission to destroy our country? How could so many people have been so stupid? But that's what the Gramscians count on. Smoke and mirrors. Divert attention.
France, despite les deux rives de la Mediterranée philosophy, has not sunk as low as Britain. - January 08, 2007 1:47 am
- David Lindsay said...
"She was the best, most-principle driven, truest prime minister since Churchill." Which principles, Verity? She did more than any other PM ever for European federalism, Irish Republicanism, Police ineffectiveness and inefficiency, Political Correctness, collapsing educational standards, use of public money to queer the market in favour of one's political supporters and against one's opponents, destruction of paternal authority, centralisation of local services... Are these the "principles" that you have in mind?
Tony Benn, by contrast, wanted Britain to ringfence North Sea oil money outside the then-EEC, exactly as has made Norway the richest country in the world, which could have been Britain if it hadn't been for the 1979 Election. Vote Wedgie! - January 08, 2007 3:05 pm

Well in general I would say we need less tags ;) The point rule for tags is in place to prevent new users adding useless tags.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's five sons all made a special appearance on "Conan" last night. The brothers, Tagg, Matt, Josh, Ben and Craig, joked with O'Brien about their father's love of pranks and collectively steered clear of any political debate.
The host poked fun at the brothers throughout the interview commenting that they should form a boy band and handed each a name tag. The good natured conversation soon turned to Mitt's favorite comedians, which include Will Ferrell and the late Chris Farley.
Craig Romney revealed that his dad's favorite comedy sketch is the classic routine in which Ferrell plays a male cheerleader and shouts the line "Taco! Burrito! What's coming out of your Speedo?"

To the editor:
What is happening to our society?
I am a senior citizen. I have participated in and attended many concerts and plays in our Bedford Schools over the years. I can remember when people came to a concert on time, found a seat and quietly stayed in that seat, listened to and enjoyed the program in it's entirety.
I now have grandchildren who participate in concerts in these same schools. These children, along with their teachers, have worked hard throughout the year to present a worthwhile program. It seems to be the vogue these days to run in and out during the concert, which is very disruptive.
It is also a practice to come, see your child perform and then get up and leave. Should we not consider all the other students who have worked equally hard on their performance? Do they not deserve equal time? It is only my opinion, but I find it rude and it must be disappointing to the children who are trying to do their best.
It seems the least we could do would be stay for the entire program and, if you must leave, do it quietly.
C. George Bedford
'Upstart Christians' and religious wars
To the editor:
Letters to the editor from Chuck Sproull always "get my dandruff up," as Tugboat Annie used to say.
His latest (May 21) gets an "A" for Assiduousness and a "D" for Diplomacy, this for mentioning sissies and homosexuals in the same breath.
Luckily, he's not our ambassador to France.
Sproull's employment of verses with a biblical in-the-loop style, confusing to some of us, reminds me that maybe a course in religions in high schools might not all be that bad.
I'm not talking about the compelling march-to-salvation type of syllabus, such are for the Sunday schools, but big-city columnists and some educators have been plumping for courses in Religious Studies that would dispassionately view all religions, some quite ancient.
Like it or not, we have gotten ourselves into a Religious War, and not against just one other religion, either. Bush admirably represents the upstart Christians, just 2000 years old, and he could easily and honestly pass for a Baptist or Pentecostal elder in any sanctuary, holding his own.
But these other religious persuasions in Iraq and Afghanistan are troublesome by their tenacity, and while Bush may be ahead militarily he's somewhat in over his head when working non-politically.
Tenaciousness is a characteristic of Christians, too, if I remember my Bible. A renouncing of one's faith calls for eternal damnation, and Sproull can probably provide the exact verse which mandates such. But tenacious positioning by dissenting ranks can be costly; I know of at least three denominations here in Bedford that have recently divided, folks up and leaving to rebuild churches elsewhere in town.
John Kerry, wanting to postpone his "acceptance" speech - the winds of politics may blow him home to Massachusetts early, hopefully to join Ted Kennedy back there.
