'Tis the season for contract restructuring.
Ben Roethlisberger was the latest to shuffle some money around on Thursday, a source involved with the deal told NFL.com's Albert Breer. The Steelers will save about $6 million off their salary cap with the Roethlisberger restructure, which converts salary into bonus money. Breer previously reported details of the negotiations on Tuesday.
Ultimately, these restructures are just accounting details passed off as newsworthy events during a slow period of the NFL news cycle. Teams like the Steelers convert a player salary into a signing bonus in order to spread out some cap pain to the future. That saves some cap space in the present. The Steelers are tight to the cap, so they are more active than most in moving money around. Teams always find a way.
This isn't a case like Tom Brady's new deal, where new years and new money were added. Roethlisberger, like so many other players that restructure their contract, aren't meaningfully changing their deals.

One of the stated goals of the music industry's barrage of lawsuits against P2P users has been to cut down on peer-to-peer traffic. Ars talked to Eric Garland, cofounder and CEO of Big Champagne Online Media Management to get a sense of whether the RIAA's efforts are bearing fruit and to find out what other trends the media measurement company has seen over the last several months.
Charting the trends
As it turns out, P2P-based music sharing has remained relatively flat over the past year. During May 2006, Big Champagne reported just shy of 9 million simultaneously connected unique peers sharing music on the popular P2P networks. One year later, that number had increased only slightly to 9.35 million. "There have been years when we have seen double-digit percentage growth," Garland told Ars. "Compared to that, the last 12 months have been rather flat." In fact, on a month-by-month basis, traffic during 2007 has been flat, and almost all of the growth Big Champagne has seen falls within the margin of error.
It could be that the threat of lawsuits are keeping people from popular P2P networks like Limewire, driving them instead to a legal outlet like the iTunes Store. It might also be that the market has reached saturation. "It's like e-mail," said Garland. "For a number of years, the population using e-mail was increasing dramatically. Once everyone who wanted e-mail had e-mail, growth flattened out."
The news for the motion picture and television industries is not so good. BitTorrent has become far more popular: "We've seen real, dramatic growth in BitTorrent usage," notes Garland. That has resulted in a greater average population of seeders and leechers per torrent. In May 2006, the average torrent had 817,588 people participating. 12 months later, that figure had jumped to 1,357,318 seeders and leechers: a 66 percent year-over-year growth rate.
Curiously enough, Big Champagne is also noticing an increase in music traffic on BitTorrent. "It's the most popular place to download albums," said Garland. Big Champagne has recently noticed an increased number of torrents consisting of rips of HD discs. "There's a quite small, but active population that's downloading the HD features," according to Garland. But when it comes to HD content, TV shows are by far more popular.
The oldest online source for illicit files is Usenet, and Garland says his company has seen more activity there as well. Big Champagne's analysis of Usenet traffic is limited to title-specific analysis, but that venue is "surging," says Garland. "There's increasing interest in and use of newsgroups."
Garland also believes that the population of darknets is on the rise but notes that it's difficult to get a holistic view of what's going on with "underground" networks. He doesn't see a large-scale migration to darknets happening anytime soon, however. "Most people are satisfied by what they find on P2P, even though some of them have had bad experiences with it such as lawsuits and malware," he said. "People are creatures of habit and loath to change."
Same as it ever was
Overall, file-sharing is as popular as ever, and BitTorrent is leading the way as people increasingly look for movies, TV shows, and full albums. Two of the more popular torrent sites, TorrentSpy and IsoHunt, have recently announced plans to begin filtering copyrighted content from their trackers using a hash-based system. Although those two sites are likely to see a dip in traffic if copyrighted content is removed, there are plenty of other torrent sites up and running, including the infamous Pirate Bay.
Big Champagne's data also points out the difficulty that content creators are having in controlling the spread of file-sharing. Despite the hundreds of lawsuits filed by the RIAA, music traffic has yet to show any downward movements. And although IsoHunt and TorrentSpy have plans in place to filter out copyrighted content, that's not likely have much of an effect on overall BitTorrent traffic.
What used to be music industry's problem is becoming the movie and television industry's problem, and it may take some drastic changes to how the studios and networks do business to bring changes about. So far, the industries have shown little or no inclination to do so, setting themselves up for a protracted battle that there are few indications that they can win.

This is an issue I've had off and on for, embarrassingly, at least a year:
On misty or wet mornings, everything starts out fine but, a few minutes into the drive (like clockwork. I even know the lights it will happen at), the Check Engine light will flash for 3 seconds and the car starts to struggle as if it was about to stall if I am going slowly or stopped. Driving again, it goes away. Approach another stoplight, hello car shudder. This goes on until about 10 minutes in once the engine temp hits the perfect 90 in the middle. Boom, problem 'solved'.
I would love to know what I should be looking at to fix here. I had previously been told to start the engine while cold late at night in the dark, to look for visible arcing that disappears once the car heats up. Alas, could not find anything. Granted, VWs hide all the important bits, which further complicates things.
Local VW dealers are scammy, so I'm searching for an out of town one to replace them. That said, I'd love to at least have a clue going in so that I'll be less likely to get ripped off again.

MINES and farms close to the Queensland coast were hardest hit by ex-tropical cyclone Oswald, with cattle and cane growers south of Mackay still assessing stock losses and damage to crops.
Rabobank's Rockhampton-based state manager, Brad James, said while Oswald had brought more rainfall in certain areas than cyclone Yasi two years ago, the impact was mainly confined to coastal regions this time and rainfall inland was beneficial.
Mr James said there would be stock losses and damage to infrastructure, particularly fencing, on beef properties from Mackay to Rockhampton but it was too early to quantify the damage.
"Cattle can go missing in floods but turn up later – they float downstream – and it's often inaccurate to give an early estimate," he said.
For cultivators, moving south to Bundaberg, Mr James said the storm had been "quite destructive" with early reports of significant losses for citrus orchards and tree crops on the Burnett River floodplain.
Cotton growers inland were thankfully spared this year after incurring significant damage in 2011, Mr James said.
Canegrowers chief executive Steve Greenwood said flooding rains had ravaged pockets of land, and major damage would be sustained by some growers, particularly in the Bundaberg, Maryborough and Childers areas.
Mr Greenwood said the crop in those areas would have been about 2.5 million tonnes and was reasonably well established after the November harvest. But with rivers still rising it was too early to determine the full extent of the damage.
Damage in the 18 sugarcane areas across Queensland and New South Wales would be assessed over the next week, but Canegrowers said Australia's production overall was not expected to be significantly downgraded.
The Queensland Resources Council said the export coal industry could take several weeks to resume full production, but despite the heavy rainfall mines were by and large resuming normal operations.
There were reports of significant damage to the Blackwater and Moura rail systems that carry coal from the southern and central Bowen Basin to the port of Gladstone, where operations have also been hampered by about 800 millimetres of rain.
China-backed Yancoal closed two of its Queensland coalmines. Production at Middlemount open-cut mine was likely to be impacted for at least three weeks although its Yarrabee mine, closed at the weekend, would return to normal this week. Yancoal shares were unchanged.
A spokesperson for Gladstone Ports said shiploading had recommenced at RG Tanna Coal Terminal as was rail unloading. Barney Point Coal Terminal was set to resume unloading yesterday. All coal ports were open to shipping and coal seam gas-LNG operations reported only minor disruptions.

Title: [Leyma milk, distributed by farm Sila : advertisement]
Year: [1972]
Duration: 18 seg.
Sound collection: Radio Alcoy
Summaries: Dos cuñas publicitarias de carácter local leche Leyma, distribuidor en la zona granja Sila
The 1960s were boom and renewal of the advertising world, while radio relinquished its cutting edge in the field of advertising, for other media such as television (arrived in 1956 and it was implemented gradually with policies such as the Teleclubs promoted by the goverment), the graphic press and even posters and billboards. The reasons were varied, and not only of a technical nature -the introduction of frequency modulation in Spain was slow and gradual- but also political, the relative laxity of censorship not favored so deeply to the radio to the press –at least at the beginning-, although always with nuances. A situation that would be changing throughout the 1970s, a very troubled period political and social, of economic crisis (the radio had to lower advertising rates since 1969), end of the dictatorship and transition to democracy.
However, in a matter of advertising methods and techniques it should be talk about continuity and improvement thereof with respect to the previous decade. The main formulas were invented and it only remained to improve them. It was the golden age of the "Jingle advertising", short pieces of music very catchy lyrics (usually in verse) which are used to promote and advertise a brand, product or service. Many of which were printed in the popular memory of listeners and still are remembered by those who heard them. There was also a notable development of the radio spot and the sponsored programs, it had been one of the most lucrative innovations to economic level arising during the previous decade.
The agreement with Cadena SER in February 1962 meant a before and an after in every way, especially in the field of advertising. Above and with some exceptions, the radio station had been constrained to the local level, limiting its sources of funding, being the main source of income of private broadcasters during the Franco regime, virtually exclusive advertising. The agreement meant effortlessly get a percentage of the benefits reported by relaying the advertising campaigns organized by corporations comerciales. This was a great success at the economic level. This does not mean that they disappeared the sponsors and local advertisers, for a long time constituted a very important source of income for the radio station. But the amounts entered under this heading were gradually declining to be practically symbolic since the mid-1980s.
Radio Alcoy has an interesting and varied repertoire of local advertising. Radio spots, jingles and masks of sponsored programs it marked several generations of Alcoy's people and that they are –each one by itself and all together- a cultural, social and commercial/advertising testimony of the first magnitude, at a time of profound socio-economic and cultural transformations, fundamental in our history recent.

|Billionaire Stewart fills his converted passenger jet with priceless art and sets off to Palm Beach for a museum opening, joined by an uninvited gang of hijackers. Twist to this in-flight disaster is that the bad time in the air occurs underwater, a novel (and some might say, desperate) twist to the old panic in the plane we're all gonna die formula. With a cast of familiar faces, some of them stars and some of them just familiar faces, this is yet another sequel to "Airport" and another boxoffice success, leading to the last of the tired series in 1979.

Kate Moss Goes to Police
But not in the UK. She was being chased by paparazzi in Paris so she went to a police station for safety. In true European fashion, the camera men were following Kate via scooter when she left the Ritz Hotel last week. Once she got the help of the police all was fine.
Here she is in Paris but she supposedly took off for the the French Alps while the UK police wait patiently for her to speak to them about the coke scandal. Kate sure loves the white powdery stuff. If she can't do the drug then she makes sure she is skiing. Didn't she just go to Aspen with her young boy toy?

A Lesson in Pirates History
I created this blog to fill the void that was left after the end of the baseball season and to get some practice in my newly found place in the journalism field. In this opening segment I will give a general overview of the baseball in Pittsburgh for those who may not be as familiar as others with it. Hopefully I'll spark some interest in some new people or at least occupy your time while you could be doing something much more productive. Thanks for reading, enjoy!
Every year on October 31st a portal between the world of the dead and the living and spirits run free amongst us for one evening. This evening is what we celebrate as Halloween. While All Hallows Eve may put a frightening punctuation on the month of October something even scarier than the dead walking happens to baseball fans across the nation. For the end of October brings the heart wrenching end to yet another glorious season in the sun.
For some, especially Pirates fans, the season ends much earlier for us as post season hopes for Pittsburgh baseball were dashed a generation ago with the hopes that Barry Bonds and Bobby Bonilla would sign long term contract extensions.
Bonds (right) and Bonilla (left) were two staples on the Pirates during their early 90's pennant races. They both departed in 1993 to seek bigger contracts with bigger market teams.
Every fan has their speculation as to why the Pirates find themselves at a loss (or 90+) season after season. Whether those speculations be that upper management team members are lining their pockets with cash, or are too cheap to spend , all the way to the curse of Willie Stargell (For those of you unaware, our beloved Willie unfortunately passed away on April 9th, 2001, the same day PNC Park opened its gates.) Any way you chalk it up the Pittsburgh Pirates are the worst franchise in professional sports history. That is truly something to be embarrassed about.
Bob Nutting (Pictured above) is current majority owner of the Pirates and is highly criticized by many.
18 straight years of losing have left us nothing to look forward to except Spring Training and September call ups where, until recent years, not much beyond AAA scrubs have been displayed. Not to mention the countless draft picks that were squandered foolishly by past management. I will grant that the Littlefield/McClatchy era did bring about some former faces of the franchise, whether it be through scouting or fluke they managed to reel in Jason Bay, Jack Wilson, Freddy Sanchez, and Nate McLouth (All of whom were All-Stars in their tenure with the Pirates.)
The past management also brought in some budding young stars on today's team, i.e. Andrew McCutchen and Neil Walker. (I suppose you could even throw Paul Maholm's name in there as well though he isn't exactly budding anymore)
Dave Littlefield (Pictured above) is former Pirates GM and is scrutinized by many fans.
These young stars have been supplemented by other stars and supporting cast by the newest management team of Bob Nutting, Frank Coonley, and Neal Huntington. This group has managed to bring in Jose Tabata, Pedro Alvarez, James McDonald, Ross Ohlendorf and have most recently drafter a slew of promising youth in Tony Sanchez, Jameson Taillion, and Stetson Allie. This team has more than their fair share of complete busts though, which may be on account of bad scouting or just plain old bad luck.
A few players who haven't panned out as planned are Andy LaRoche, Lastings Milledge, and Charlie Morton. Most recently Garrett Jones proved to be somewhat of a letdown as he barely matched his home run totals from his rookie season in his sophomore campaign. These are most definitely not the only players who have been busts, but some of the most prominent. All of the above players were acquired as a part of trade package except for Jones who was signed as a minor league free agent.
After a bad start to his Pirates carreer in 2008, LaRoche put together a solid 2009. Considered to be a dead lock for the second base position with the arrival of Pedro Alvarez, LaRoche was beat out by Neil Walker due to abysmal defense and an inconsistent bat in the 2010 season.

On Monday, the RNC released a 100 page "autopsy" on the 2012 election. Despite the fact that hardly anyone, especially young people, are going to actually sit down and read a 100 page document about the Republican Party, it appears that the RNC is beginning to understand some of the problems it faces.
It is encouraging to hear RNC Chair Reince Priebus state that the GOP is "totally on board with Rand Paul." Rand, of course, is a very popular leader in the GOP, especially among the youth. The 100 page "autopsy" also recognizes the need to reach out to other demographics including women and minorities. This is certainly true; however, the solutions stated in the RNC report are not going to bring about the desperately needed fresh blood the GOP is looking for.
Solutions from the RNC "autopsy" on reaching out to the youth:
Liberty is fun; it's a sexy message. That's why tens of thousands of students across the country join Young Americans for Liberty and Students for Liberty and work tirelessly to promote liberty on their college campuses. On the other hand, if you are having quarterly meetings with RNC Chair Reince Priebus- you're doing it wrong. That sounds like punishment.
One of the recommendations is to create a "Celebrity Taskforce." Creating such a thing will do nothing but get you trolled on the shows you want to be part of, like Colbert. I find it hard to believe a popular celebrity will want to be on an "RNC Celebrity Taskforce." If that doesn't sound like a top-down bland approach to attract young people, I'm not sure what does. Vince Vaughn is a popular celebrity, and he was influenced toward libertarianism because of ideas, like ending the Fed, not being part of the RNC. Ideas will win out over stale party brands every day.
Furthermore, most "Republican Leaders" are the problem. When Speaker Boehner removed popular Republicans like Representatives Amash and Schweikert from their committees, it infuriated young libertarians who are trying to change the GOP for the better. That's exactly what "Republican Leaders" shouldn't do. To make sure this doesn't happen in the future, the GOP needs to embrace the libertarian leaning Republicans like Amash, Massie, Schweikert, Paul, and others and allow them to become the leaders that they are.
FreedomWorks understands that changing the GOP will come from fresh ideas outside of the party and having a larger impact in the cultural space. That is why we held a Spring Break Youth Summit on March 9th - 12th. Over 70 students from more than 30 states gathered in Washington DC for the weekend to attend the very first FreedomWorks event of its kind. Instead of lecturing to the students about the Republican Party, the RNC, or divisive social issues; participants talked about ideas, culture and how we can influence young people who are not yet part of our movement. Messaging and reaching out to the un-tapped youth who are politically homeless is key to winning the future. It was a learning experience from both sides of the aisle.
If the RNC wants to reach out to women, minorities, and the youth, they need to make it less about being a Republican or part of the RNC, and more about ideas. Ideas are what inspire people, hint-hint- Ron Paul. When young people are empowered and energized by ideas, they'll run for office or become part of this movement at some level. The RNC and the GOP are not going to change by themselves, we need to actively work to restore the values and ideas that once were the guiding princples of our party: Individual Liberty and Limited Government.
I think language is really important. Phrases like "small government" and "less government" are OK, but "efficient government" and "effective government" and "lean government" are better. People like the things that governments provide (education, roads, security,...) and most don't want "less", but most folks want it efficient, effective, and lean.
I don't understand why Paul Ryan wants to thought of as the guy that cuts services, when his budget isn't really that different from the Democratic one. He is getting all the downside of a guy "gutting" govt, with none of the upside of actually proposing it. It would be better to be the guy of "lean" government.
I found this line in the beginning especially egregious:
Instead of driving around in circles on an ideological cul-de-sac, we need a Party whose brand of conservatism invites and inspires new people to visit us.
In other words, don't examine our philosophy or our internal hypocrisy, or our big-governemnt tendencies and abandonment of the constitution, no no no, that is all idealogical time wasting. We need to just rebrand ourselves instead.

Japan's Secret Island
Lying in the shadow of Japan's three larger islands is Shikoku, where artistic traditions have endured for centuries.
Of the country's more than 6,000 volcanic islands scattered across the Pacific, four main islands form the heart of Japan. Your journey will naturally whisk you to the international gateway cities of Tokyo or Osaka on the largest main island of Honshu. Perhaps you may also venture to the skiing mecca of Hokkaido to the very north or the history-rich island of Kyushu to the very south. Then there is Shikoku, the smallest and least populated of the four. Accessible by plane, ferry or bus, this tiny destination appears quiet on the surface but is teeming with artisans who have perfected Japanese traditions of arts, crafts and cuisine.
Beyond its crafts and cuisine, Japan has it all. Discover a wealth of experiences for every style of travel, from river rafting to vivid festivals, in our video.

Structured Core Programmes
Our Structured Core Programmes are facilitated by appropriately trained, supervised and competent Programme Officers with a Psychology or Social work background. The selection of offenders into Structured Core programmes proceeds through a stringent assessment process that begins with a pre-programme assessment phase. It involves primarily the determination of the offender's pattern of offending and the motivational, cognitive, emotional and behavioural factors that might interfere with successful programming.
To date the Namibian Correctional Service has been able to introduce two structured and intensive rehabilitation 'programme curricula', a core programme referred to as Thinking and Living Skills for Reintegration, and a programme targeting alcohol and drug abuse referred to as Managing My Substance Use. These two programmes were deliberately chosen on the basis of a careful analysis of the risk/needs of our offenders. Although these are the first two programmes we have chosen to implement, further programmes to address offender needs will be introduced in time such as a Motivational Enhancement Programme, an Anger Management Programme, a gender-responsive programme for our female offenders and a Restorative Justice programme.
Structured Core Programmes includes the following
- Thinking and Living Skills for Re-Integration
- Managing My Substance Use

Listen to Jim Cramer or his cohorts on CNBC and you'll hear statements like, "Don't settle for the mediocre returns of a market index!" and "It's not that hard for investors to pick stocks that will beat the market!" Unless you possess the skills of Warren Buffett, that's not true.
But in the book Think, Act and Invest Like Warren Buffett, which is illustrated by Carl Richards, Larry Swedroe says you indeed can invest like Buffett – just not by stock-picking.
Swedroe is a principal and director of research for the $18-billion St. Louis-based financial planning firm Buckingham Asset Management, LLC.
An outspoken and passionate advocate of passive investing, Swedroe quotes an admonition Buffett gave in the 1993 Berkshire Hathaway annual report: "By periodically investing in an index fund, the know-nothing investors can actually outperform most investment professionals."
Index-based investing is the thrust of Swedroe's message in this short book, which is written for clients and not advisors. I'll review some of Swedroe's key tenets. First, let's look at what he said about how Buffett succeeds where virtually all others fail.
Why individual investors aren't like Buffett
Swedroe says retail investors invariably fail because they can't adhere to two of Buffett's basic rules: Don't listen to forecasts, and don't try to time the market.
Buffett once said, "the only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune-tellers look good." Most investors would do better by ignoring investment advice offered by CNBC and similar outlets, Swedroe says, because it tells them nothing about where the market is headed.
Research proves the fallibility of forecasters. Swedroe cites data from Philip Tetlock and William Sherden that show that no economic forecasters have established a consistent track record. The better-known forecasters have actually been the least accurate. Even government agencies such as the Federal Reserve Bank have not been any better at forecasting than random guesses.
Many investors also try to time the market, despite warnings from Buffett. In regard to Berkshire Hathaway's investing strategy, Buffett has said that "our favourite holding period is forever" and that "inactivity strikes us as intelligent behaviour."
Swedroe says investors lack the discipline and temperament to buy only when valuations are excessively low and sell when they are high. Emotions and the drone of CNBC get in the way, tempting investors to follow the herd and trade far too actively.
As for the ability to pick stocks, Buffett has an edge that no investor can possess. Because of his size and stature, he is given opportunities that are unavailable to others. He was able to lend Goldman Sachs $5 billion in a preferred stock that earned 10% in 2008, when Goldman needed an investor of Buffett's stature. More recently, his purchase of H.J. Heinz included preferred shares with a 9% dividend.
The average investor, according to Buffett and Swedroe, doesn't have similar opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis. They are best served through a passive strategy using index funds.

A blog to compile what I have learned (and what I am learning) about Mandriva (and GNU/Linux in general) since 2009, when I migrated. Current distros I'm using: OpenMandriva Lx 4, Mageia 7, PCLinuxOS, MX 19, PicarOS, Elive 3, and AntiX 13.

The mystery of the missing wi-fi in Mageia/Mandriva
Well, I decided that I wanted to install Mageia 1 in my netbook. I will spare you the story of my mistake of installing beta1 and my consequential sadness because iBus would not work. However, when I corrected my mistake and installed beta2, my happiness upon seeing iBus working flawessly quickly faded away because I discovered that the dreadful kernel 2-6.38.4 was what Mageia uses and, therefore, my wi-fi was gone!
In a sudden revelation, I read the error message and saw that it was indicating the path were the missing files were supposed to be and were not: /lib/firmware/b43
I mounted the Pardus partition and looked for that directory. Pardus had both the b43 and the b34legacy directories, so I copied them to my Mageia home folder.
There was one problem left: How to copy the directory in Mageia's root appropriate folder? The answer is easy, with konsole, of course!
After typying su and inputting my password, I used the following command:
cp -r /home/myname/b43 /lib/firmware/
and PRESTO! in less than one second, the 39 files were copied. Then I did the same and copied the b43legacy folder.
After that, I ran Mageia Control Center, Network config, add a new connection. I selected Wireless and wlan_o. When the system asked me for the file, I located the directory /lib/firmware/b43 and selected the ucode5.fw file.
It worked. Now, I'm posting this entry using the wi-fi in Mageia beta2.
I just don't understand why is it that some people are afraid of the command line. It's so powerful and useful.
Once again, BIG THANKS PARDUS!!!

The answer to your question is simple: anything beyond pointing and clicking is diabolic. Period.
I recall a story of long ago, way before I migrated to Linux...one person complained about DOSBox saying that it was for techies! Why? Because he couldn't type in the 3 commands necessary to get that emulator running.
Also, more recently, a colleague was scared when she saw me using the DOS prompt on XP. "What is that black screen??," she asked me. :P
Seriously...some people think a computer is a box full of magic powder and this box is only for playing games or using Facebook.
Thank you! It took me some time to figure it out, though. And credit must also go to Pardus because it made the trick possible.ResponderEliminar

From US Prison Culture
I have not written about the Marissa Alexander case on this blog though I have been closely following the developments in her trial. Well on Friday, Ms. Alexander was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
For those who are unfamiliar with the case, here is a very brief summary. Marissa Alexander is an African-American mother of 3 who tried to protect herself from an abusive husband by firing a warning shot into the ceiling after he had beat her up again. There is of course much more to the case including the fact that her attorney tried to use the infamous "Stand Your Ground" law as her defense and was prohibited from doing so by the judge in the case. You can read much more about the case here.
This is another example of the system re-victimizing survivors of violence and speaks to what I wrote about on Monday with respect to the inadequacy of the efforts to actually support survivors of rape and domestic violence. This case brings to mind countless other stories of battered women and rape survivors who I have known over the years. But there is also something more…
Danielle McGuire has written in her excellent book "At the Dark End of the Street" that there was a time in this country when it was presumed that black women could not be raped. The idea was that they were naturally promiscuous and that their bodies were inviolate. In other words, no never meant no for black and brown women (and some poor white women). This idea has carried over, I think, to the concept of "self-defense" as applied to women of color. If black women's bodies can always be violated and if black women are easily killable, then the notion of self-defense can never apply. Black women do not have a "self" worth defending.
A poem by Toi Derricotte titled "On the Turning Up of Unidentified Black Female Corpses" is one of my favorites. It captures the idea that black women in our culture are so thoroughly devalued that our deaths go unnoticed and unpunished. One particular stanza is particularly moving for me:
a black woman, there is a question being asked
about my life. How can I
protect myself? Even if I lock my doors,
walk only in the light, someone wants me dead.
Read the entire poem if you have a moment, you won't be sorry.
The Marissa Alexander case brings to mind another instance of self-defense by a survivor of sexual violence. Inez Garcia was a 30 year old Latina who had a child and was profoundly Catholic. Inez was an illiterate woman who had moved to California to be closer to her husband who was incarcerated in Soledad prison. In March 1974, she was beaten and raped by two men in California. She was tried for first degree murder for shooting and killing one of her rapists. A flyer created by her defense committee in the 70s describes the details of the incident.
Louis Castillo and Miguel Jimenez came to Inez's house at 8 p.m., allegedly to talk to Fred Medrano, who was also renting the house [that Inez lived in]. While waiting for him, the two men started drinking and taunting Inez. When Fred arrived home, he was harassed and threatened and beaten up in the fight that followed. Inez, frightened, told Louis and Miguel to leave, and stepped outside to make sure they left. They forced her to come behind the house with them where, trapped, she was beaten, her clothes torn, and she was raped.
In a state of shock and hysterical from the attack, Inez went back inside and loaded her .22-caliber rifle. At this time she received a phone call from the two men who had just attacked her. They threatened to make it worse for her if she did not leave town. About one half hour later she found her attackers five blocks away, beating up Fred a second time. She saw Jimenez draw a knife and called out. Jimenez turned and threw the knife in her direction. Inez fired, killing Jimenez and missing Castillo completely.
Christa Donaldson Arrested at Inez Garcia Demonstration, San Francisco, 1975
Women's rights advocates and others seized on the Garcia case as an example of the "justice" system run amok. Her Defense Committee(comprised of local feminists and other community members) maintained that it was unjust that Inez was accused of premeditated murder "for defending herself against brutal and senseless attack" while her rapist remained free. They added:
"Thousands upon thousands of women have been attacked and raped, and countless more live in fear of rape. Inez is one of the few to defend herself so bravely. Her case is an example to everyone, for until men stop attacking women, women must be free to defend themselves by whatever means necessary."
Inez Garcia Marching in the Lesbian and Gay Freedom Parade, San Francisco, 1976
Inez Garcia was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to five years in prison. This sparked several "Free Inez" demonstrations. She spent two years behind bars until her conviction was reversed on appeal because the judge had instructed the jury not to consider her rape. Her case was retried in 1977 and she was acquitted. The Garcia case and the Joan Little case offer examples which illustrate that it matters what people on the outside do when unjust charges are brought against individuals. If you doubt this, I suggest that you read Vikki Law's interview about three cases (including Garcia's and Little's) where outside pressure and activism helped to overturn convictions of women survivors of violence. Let's hope that those fighting on behalf of Marissa Alexander will be successful in securing a reversal of her conviction on appeal.

Saxon Shore
from Brooklyn, NY
New York-based Saxon Shore are a post-rock instrumental outfit whose spatial cinematic sound has been compared to the likes of Mogwai and Explosions in the Sky. Originally formed as a duo by guitarist Matthew Doty and future Fleet Foxes drummer Josh Tillman, the band recruited bassist (and Josh's brother) Zach Tillman for the recording of their debut album, Be a Bright Blue, which was released through their own Broken Factory Records label in 2001. After signing to Burn Toast Vinyl, they toured the U.S. and released their sophomore album, Four Months of Darkness, in 2004, before both Tillman brothers decided to leave the band. While Doty initially thought of packing in his musical career to become a financial planner, he eventually decided there was still life left in the project, and recruited former Shai Hulud guitarist Oliver Chapoy, keyboardist Matthew Stone, bassist Will Stichter, and drummer Stephen Roessner to record 2005's The Exquisite Death of Saxon Shore and 2009's It Doesn't Matter. All five members have since contributed to various side projects. Stone and Stichter have released two ambient albums under the guise of Soporus, Doty and Chapoy have remixed tracks for Caroline and Faunts under the name of Brightest Feathers, and Roessner performs solo under the moniker of General. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi

At the end of another year of painful austerity and mouting debts, Greece's battered economy is seeing over 1,000 workers lose their jobs every day.
On the surface, many cities still looks prosperous, but the nation's deep crisis is clearly reflected in the windows of hundreds of empty shops.
More than one million Greeks are unemployed, which is one-quarter of the workforce, and the country is facing a youth unemployment rate of 58 percent.
But while many are struggling to survive in this harsh financial climate, others are returning to the land from the towns and cities that onced promised so much.
Up until a month ago, Kostas Bozas was a city banker. Now he is unemployed and has moved to his father's house in a village outside Thessaloniki, going back to his roots in search of a future.
"I come a from a steady job, and now at the age of 50 it's the right opportunity to become a farmer ... my father will teach me the things he knows from his father."
Thousands have taken the road back to farming in recent years - while the rest of the economy is in free fall, the farming sector is actually adding jobs.
"The work is labour work, it was very difficult for me. I'm a girl, I was raised in Athens, I was having everything done for me. And now I have to dig. I feel like Scarlett O'Hara - the land is my strength, I think that when you have the land you can feed yourself, you can produce anything, you can be happy .... We can't expect anything from the government, they have proven so many years that they are useless, so we have to do it ourselves," says Alexandra Tricha, a former scientist. When she left the city to start a company growing gourmet snails everybody thought she was crazy, but now business is booming.
Not everyone fleeing the cities is doing it willingly. Some are making a strategic retreat, taking refuge in family villages just to get by - hoping that one day they will return to urban careers.
Christos Kozakis always thought he would return to his mother's house one day, but when his business selling luxury cars in Athens collapsed, he and his wife felt they had no choice but to move back.
"You feel connected, you feel that you have roots here, that's one of the good things .... The only thing that makes me bitter is that somebody else decided that for me, I was forced to come here earlier .... Don't get me wrong, work is not a problem, I would wash cars, I don't care, just let me do it, just let me make a living to support my wife and my kid. It's breaking my heart .... This is my country, we are not thieves, we are not people who don't pay their taxes, and we are not lazy."
The steady shift to the farms and villages appears to be an unstoppable force fuelled by desperation in the cities, inspired by hope for a better, less anxious life. Some will flourish, others may fail. But all have taken a bold decision not to wait for the government or anyone else - their futures are now in their own hands.
So, as Greeks are trying to turn their loss into a new way of life, is economic salvation to be found in Greece's rich and fertile soil?

In order to maintain clean water, every swimming pool needs a filter and pump. Together, swimming pool filters and pumps circulate the pool water and remove dirt, debris and other unwanted contaminants. By having a quality pump and filtration system, pool owners can feel confident that their equipment will be working effectively to keep the water in good condition for swimming. As Hayward is a highly trusted and well-established brand name in the pool supply industry, many pool owners have come to depend on Hayward pool pumps and filters for their swimming pools. The following information describes how Hayward pumps and filters work and also provides examples of available models.
Swimming pool pumps are responsible for driving water through the pool's filter and returning the cleansed water to the pool. By circulating water, pool pumps also help to distribute chemicals throughout the swimming pool. Hayward swimming pool pumps are available for both above ground and in-ground swimming pools and, in both cases, are known for their high performance and energy efficiency. Heavy duty motors are common components of Hayward swimming pool pumps, allowing for cutting-edge performance as well as quiet operation. Hayward Pool pumps are also known for their durability. Both above ground and in-ground Hayward pumps are constructed from corrosion-proof reinforced thermoplastic for enhanced longevity.
While pool pumps are responsible for circulating pool water, swimming pool filters are designed to remove debris and contaminants from the water. Hayward offers a long line of swimming pool filters, all of which fall into one of the three following categories: sand filters, cartridge filters and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters.

SUNY Canton Students Receive Chancellor's Awards for Excellence
SUNY Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher presented the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence to three highly deserving SUNY Canton students.
"Students honored with the Chancellor's Award for Excellence truly embody the power of SUNY," Zimpher said. "As proven leaders and role models, scholar athletes, creative artists, and civic volunteers, each student is recognized not just for academic achievement, but also for the profound impact they have on college campuses and local communities across New York State."
Lydia C. Dale, a Graphic and Multimedia Design major from Norwood; Meghan P. Gibson, a Sports Management major from Canton; and Tiffany V. Moore, a Veterinary Science Technology major from Leonia, N.J., recently received their awards from the chancellor at a celebration of academic success in Albany. SUNY Canton Acting President Joseph C. Hoffman joined them for the ceremony.

Sell On Alex Gordon
By R.J. Anderson //
Alex Gordon has been one of the better stories in baseball this season. The former second-overall pick is 27 now, and if he can sustain his first half production, will finish with career-highs in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, OPS, runs batted in, and runs scored. Not too shabby for a guy who looked to be on his way out of the organization as recently as last season. Don't get too caught up, though, as there are some warning signs in Gordon's peripherals.
Anytime a player raises his batting average significantly, an inflated batting average on balls in play is sure to follow. Gordon is no different. Entering this season, he recorded hits on roughly 29 percent of the balls he put into play, yet in 2011 that conversion rate is more than 34 percent. That's not necessarily a sign that Gordon is all smoke and mirrors, but it doesn't mean he is hitting the ball better—or at least harder—either.
Gordon had 39 percent of his hits prior to this season go for extra bases, and that number is actually down this season, at 37 percent. His plate appearances aren't ending in more home runs than normal either. Gordon is seeing a higher percentage of his plate appearances end in extra bases, though, as he has cut into his strikeout and walk rates respectively. That means, while Gordon is hitting more extra base hits on a counting basis, as a rate of his total hits, he has roughly maintained his past rate.
A lot of Gordon's improvement has come due to singles, which is risky. Gordon's skill set has not been that of a high-average player in the majors, so be very, very careful moving forward, as he could be in line for some regression.

Description: Ending Theme (English Ver.)
Written by MELL
English Translation by Harry Yoshida
Composed by Tomoyuki Nakazawa
Arranged by TOMOYUKI x TAKESHI (Tomoyuki Nakazawa & Takeshi Ozaki)
Performed by MELL
there is only one place where I can free my soul.
Just like a trip into our memory,
his expression lead me through.
When it hurts so much live like I used to live and when my life
seems so left behind a luck
Staring it hard like watching a sketch and hold the flame of time
until I feel it through my arm to my deep soul.
Falling on the ground without ever blooming in a huge dark city
You tried to grant me a dream, with a pity light.
Once I fell in love with a wise man.
He said he reads my dream with a kiss, And, sweet wind blew in.
I put my lips, trying to feel inside of me
But I couldn't get where he is taking me.
When it hurts so much is it something that will prove my life?
There is nothing last for good.
Don't touch my heart in a night like this even a word gathers rust
Don't forgive me for what I've done knowing it was wrong
You take everything in your silent eye and it stab through my heart
Your sympathy that's the only what I am asking for
Almighty lord please be with me
And, skin inside of you before my heart tumble down
A tower of crime it's necessary evil for survival
Like a million of star in the sky illuminate in my eye
If my pure words were veiled in the vicious dark sky
I need your forgiveness to embrace my whole broken heart
Generously I trash my body and devote my pray for
Someday, it will come to heal and will disappear
And I beg for love...
To always be around us

In a variety of ways, cats are going to prison these days. Cats in prison? There are cats that are guilty -- guilty of murdering innocent mice and birds, of assaulting their owners, total strangers and each other, or of stealing a quick snack from the human's meal when no one was looking. However, it hardly seems like a good reason to put them in prison, yet prison is where some of them have landed.
While some people out there who think that a prison or jail is just where a cat ought to be, these tend to be cat-haters or over-zealous dog lovers. The reality is that more and more penal systems are learning the advantages of placing a cat in a cell with a human inmate. Despite what some may think, this is not a punishment.
For one jail in Nebraska, it was as simple as adopting a couple of cats to help the inmates while away the hours in a healthy manner. The inmates are solely responsible for the care of the cats. The work is divvied up between the cats. One is on duty with the work release area, while the other is one patrol in minimum security. In an unusual and highly unlikely twist of fate, inmates are lining up for a turn at cat care, even if that means having to don hazmat gear to clean the litter box.
Cats with socialization and/or behavioral issues have a difficult time adapting to life in an adoptive home. Animal shelters are increasingly sending these felines off to the Big House in cat rehabilitation programs. They will be assigned to prisoners who have the time to spend with these cats and give them the love and attention they need to heal and become rehabilitated. It is a two-way street. The cats provide the unconditional love and trust that many of these inmates need. According to prison officials, having the cats around help alleviate the stress of being incarcerated for these prisoners.
To a certain extent, this must become a labor of love for the prisoners selected for the program. When you live in such close quarters with someone, you have to be willing to forgive someone who is going to pee in your shoes if they get upset. This is most likely the origin of the term "pissed off."
In other programs, it is the cats that are healing the inmates in maximum security programs. Most of these prisoners are in for murder. The cats are said to have changed the lives of these men. The love of a good cat can quell anger, relieve stress, and help them get in touch with their soft side. Cats, as usual, don't care what these men have done, just so long as the food dish is filled, the litter box cleaned once in a while, and they get a warm body to curl up with at the end of the day.
There has been no word as to whether convicted cat burglars have been allowed to participate in the programs, nor have any studies been done to determine if these cats reduce the rate at which parolees re-offend.
Since the cats would be homeless or even on death row themselves, they seem to think that this arrangement is just purrrr-fect.

Can you believe December is just a few days away?! Before you know it, Christmas trees will be going up and wreaths hung.. I noticed it's in full swing down the main streets here already! I've been happily singing along to all the carols playing in the supermarket hehe..
With all that in mind, I thought it was a great time to put together a little Christmas Ornament DIY for you all to spruce up your trees this year :)
Using metallic paint really makes these beauties shine!
Here's what you'll need:
– Oven bake clay
– Baking paper
– Rolling pin
– Something round, approximately 5 cm (2″) wide to use as a template (or if you have a cookie cutter – even better!)
– Xacto knife
– A drinking straw
– A very find paint brush
– Acrylic paint (suitable for ceramics) in metallic gold (I used one by Martha Stewart)
Step 1.
Soften the clay by kneading it in your hands. Place it between two sheets of baking paper and roll out to an even thickness (approx. 4mm, or 0.15″). Put the slab onto a cutting mat, and using your template (I used the bottom of a paper cup) cut around the circle, keeping the knife as upright as possible (90 degrees to the table).
Step 2.
Once you've got your circle cut out, use the end of the straw to make a hole through the top (about 1cm in from the edge). Bake the clay circles in the oven as per the instructions on the packet.
Step 3.
Once the circles have cooled, use your fine brush to paint patterns of your choice onto the clay with the metallic paint. You may have to do a couple of coats. Don't forget to paint the sides too! Allow to dry completely before threading with your favourite ribbon or string, and hang it on the tree for all to see! :)
Hope you enjoy! If you've missed any of my other DIYs you can check them all out here. :)

Can you have a healthy body on a vegetarian diet?
Can vegetarians achieve health success?
Well, the short answer is yes. Those on a vegetarian diet can certainly have a healthy body, but by excluding certain food sources from their vegetarian diet they have to add other sources to get all the nutrients they need. There are several different classification of vegetarian diet. The first is semi-vegetarian diets which excludes the consumption of red meat. A lacto-ovo vegetarian diet excludes all meat but continues to consume egg and dairy products. A lacto vegetarian diet does not consume meat or eggs but will consume dairy products. A ovo-vegetarian diet excludes all meat and dairy products but an ovo-vegetarian will continue to consume eggs. Finally, a vegan diet, the strictest of all the vegetarians will consume no meat, dairy, or egg products.
Maintaining the right balance of vitamins and nutrients
If you chose to maintain a vegetarian diet, you have to be careful to include alternative sources of vitamin B12, vitamin D, calcium, protein, iron, fat, carbohydrates and zinc. Vitamin B12 can be found in eggs and dairy products but the strict vegan has to get it through products that have been vitamin fortified like cereals and breads. B12 can also be found in soya milk, animal-free margarines, and marmite. Unfortunately this particular vitamin is found almost exclusively in animal products such as cheese, milk, and eggs. The best way for a strict vegetarian to get enough of this particular vitamin would be to take a daily supplement. Vitamin D can be found in milk but you can also get it through vitamin fortified cereals, soya milk and juices. The sun is also a great provider of Vitamin D, so getting outside in the fresh air will help a great deal. Calcium can of course be found in dairy products but can also be found in green leafy vegetables, dried beans, broccoli, orange, blackcurrants, soy and rice drinks, and foods that have been fortified with calcium like juices and cereals.
Importance of protein
Protein is also found in eggs and dairy products but can be found in dried beans, nuts, and soy products. Tofu is also a good source of protein. Iron can be found in foods like dried beans and fruits, leafy green vegetables like spinach, whole grains, pumpkin seeds, dried apricots, prunes, dates, millet, and fortified cereals and breads. Iron is best absorbed with sufficient amounts of vitamin C so a variety of citrus fruits can be included in the vegetarian diet. Vegetarians need to be careful to include alternative sources of fat in their diets like nuts, seeds, avocados, and oils. Carbohydrates are necessary for energy so a diet filled with whole grains is a good idea for a vegetarian. Zinc can be found in fortified cereals, dried beans, nuts, wheat germ, and pumpkin seeds.
Being a vegetarian can be a very healthy lifestyle choice for some. Vegetarians just need to pay special attention to the foods that they do eat to make sure they are getting the nutrients that meat and meat products provide in a non-vegetarian diet. If you cannot find enough food sources that you enjoy adding supplements and vitamins to your daily routine would be another alternative. Talking to your doctor or nutritional therapist about switching to a vegetarian diet would also be a very good idea.

HTC has updated its One X smartphone, pledging the handset will be faster, more capacious and run for a longer duration.
The new model, the One X+, comes equipped with a 1.7GHz Nvidia Tegra 3 chip, making it 27 per cent faster than the One X, HTC claimed.
Despite the faster processor, the new phone's battery life when you're talking is 37 per cent greater - the equivalent of 4.7 more hours of conversation, the company said - than the old one's, thanks to the addition of a 2100mAh power pack.
The One X+ will come with 64GB of on-board Flash storage, pre-loaded with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and HTC's Sense 4+ UI on top. There's an 8Mp camera on the back and a Beats Audio sub-system feeding the 3.5mm earphone output and the speaker. And NFC-enabled speakers to boot: the phone uses its own NFC pick-up to initiate audio streaming to compatible Beats speakers.
The HTC One X+ will be available in Europe later this month. HTC also said it will provide this month an Android Jelly Bean and HTC Sense 4+ update for the HTC One S and HTC One X. ®

The Case.
A 22 year old male is retrieved to ED after a nasty workplace accident where he was pinned between a truck and wayward forklift. He had sustained injuries to his head/face, upper thorax and perineum, however our most significant concern was regarding his right lower limb. He had a displaced, angulated compound femur fracture that required sedation and pre-hospital reduction. There were reports of significant bleeding at the scene.
No immediate interventions were required following his primary survey, but his right limb revealed a nasty tissue defect and open fracture (now splinted). There was no active blood loss, but his leg distal to the injury was pale and cold with no appreciable dorsalis pedis or posterior tibial pulses.
Here are his initial xrays….
As there was concerns regarding intraabdominal and pelvic injuries; he was taken to radiology for CT, including angiography of his lower limbs….
