American Cultural Studies
Professors Taylor (English), Creighton (History), Bruce (Religion; chair), and Carnegie (Anthropology); Associate Professors Nero (Rhetoric), Jensen (History), McClendon (African American Studies and American Cultural Studies), Houchins (African American Studies), and Aburto Guzmán (Spanish)
American cultural studies is an interdisciplinary program that seeks to understand the differences and commonalities that inform changing answers to the question: What does it mean to be an American? Courses offering diverse methods and perspectives help to explore how self-conceptions resist static definition, how cultural groups change through interaction, and how disciplines transform themselves through mutual inquiry. The courses in American cultural studies help provide a lens through which to view how groups of Americans see themselves and each other and how American institutions have constructed such differences as race, gender, class, ethnicity, and sexuality. Seen as such, the critical study of what it means to be American relies not on fixed, unitary, or absolute values, but rather on dynamic meanings that are themselves a part of cultural history. Respecting diverse claims to truth as changing also allows them to be understood as changeable.
More information on the American cultural studies program is available on the Web site (www.bates.edu/ACS.xml).
Cross-listed CoursesNote that unless otherwise specified, when a department/program references a course or unit in the department/program, it includes courses and units cross-listed with the department/program.
Major RequirementsThe major in American cultural studies requires ten courses in addition to a senior thesis. There are three required courses: an introduction to African American history or African American studies; a course introducing interdisciplinary methods of analysis; and a course centering on community fieldwork. Seven courses are to be chosen from the list below. They should include advanced courses at the 200- and 300- hundred levels. Furthermore, one course should study the African diaspora outside of the United States, one course should focus on gender as an interpretive category, and one course should take a cultural studies approach to either Asian American, Franco-American, Native American, Canadian, or Latin American experience. The selection and sequence of courses must be discussed with the faculty advisor and approved by the fall semester of the junior year. All majors must complete a senior thesis (American Cultural Studies 457 or 458).
Pass/Fail Grading OptionThere are no restrictions on the use of the pass/fail option within the major.

Zapatera win. Pause at 0:26 and you see when Ometepe breaks through, Zapatera's wall is broken.
I think Stephanie wins too. There's been so much edit on how she hates Zapatera and is sure she's gonna come back and haunt them at the end, I can't believe it if her story were to end here. And I do see it every bit possible that she wins a few duels, gets back into the game at the merge, flips to Ometepe, and Zapatera is dead.Sigh, Matt...
I think Stephenie has WAY too much edit to end her story off there.
Episode 8 is called "This Game Respects Big Moves" if anybody is still watching Survivor this year
Title: Phillip??Wins RI; Matt again??Wins RC/IC: Ometepe??Booted: David??Boy... all guesses, no spoilers.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/7/2014 (2245 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
HAMILTON — From dominant to desperate in one game, the Winnipeg Blue Bombers again needed a last-minute miracle Thursday.
And once again they found one, driving 94 yards in the final 100 seconds of the game for a two-yard touchdown catch from Nic Grigsby with no time left on the clock to power a 27-26 CFL win over the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
The game was played in Ron Joyce Stadium on the campus of McMaster University in the west part of the city, since the Tabbies' new facility, Tim Hortons Field, is not yet complete.
The dramatic finish boosted the Bombers to 5-1 to start the season, only the second time that's happened since 1987.
They have won three out of three on the road so far, including a nail-biter of a one-point win in Montreal in Week 3.
Hamilton, with three tight defeats of four points or less now this season, dropped to 1-4.
With second and goal from the Hamilton two, down 26-20, the Bombers walked to the line of scrimmage as the fourth-quarter clock ran out.
With the snap and one shot at glory, quarterback Drew Willy turned his attention to the left sideline and lofted a soft ball that running back Grigsby caught. Lirim Hajrullahu's extra point then ended the game.
"It was man coverage and it was a designed play," said Grigsby, who rushed for a 16-yard major in the third quarter. "Willy was supposed to put the ball right on me but the defender went underneath us so he put it over the top.
"(The defender) tried to undercut the ball and Willy, he played great all game, he saw the back come underneath and he just put it over the top and I'm just like, there's nobody back here, just please let me be in bounds. And it landed right in my hands.
"It was too good to be true but it was in the air too long. I didn't know if there was somebody behind me or what but I didn't want to jump. I just followed it all the way to the last moment and it landed in my hands."
The last play was everything, and Willy said he had two options to the far left sideline.
"I was looking at Denny (Clarence Denmark) in the corner and I knew I had Grigsby in the flat," Willy said. "I saw them both covered and I just wanted to give enough air so one of those guys could go up and make a play. Luckily Grigsby came away with the ball. I'm not going to say it was a skillful play because it wasn't. It was just one of those ones — we practise it all the time and we just made a play."
The Bombers controlled the first half (245-22 in offensive yards) and surged to a 20-3 lead with Grigsby's touchdown run on their first possession of the second half.
But the Cats roared to life after doing next to nothing in the first half, scoring 23 straight points on three touchdowns and a safety. One of the majors was a 66-yard punt return by Quincy McDuffie.
The teams then traded possessions until Winnipeg took over at its own 16 with 1:40 to go.
"We've been in this situation before so I think they were more prepared to handle it," said head coach Mike O'Shea. "Going a little deeper, they trusted each other, they rely on their teammates and guys made plays down the stretch when they had to to allow us to win.
"It was a great last drive, no time on the clock. It's a good win for us. We don't want to keep having to do it that way, that's for sure. We recognize that we made some mistakes and it cost us and it looked like Hamilton was ready to take it but these guys just believed in each other and no one gave up.
"When you get guys who are going to stick with their teammates and stick together, it's a great thing."
The Saskatchewan Roughriders are in Winnipeg next Thursday.

Dion Waiters scored 25 points to help make up for the absence of Kyrie Irving, and the Cleveland Cavaliers snapped an 11-game losing streak against the slumping Bulls with a 101-98 victory on Tuesday night.While Irving rested a sore right knee in street clothes on the sideline, Waiters converted a fadeaway jumper and a layup before Tyler Zeller drove along the baseline for a layup that helped Cleveland open an 87-78 lead with 7:33 left in the game. The Bulls were down two when they got the ball back with 37.8 seconds left, but Luol Deng missed a long jumper and Shaun Livingston hit two free throws for Cleveland to make it 100-96. Luke Walton then forced a turnover to get the ball back for the Cavs.Livingston, starting in place of Irving, finished with 15 points as improving Cleveland held on for its third win in the last four games, bouncing back from a difficult 109-105 loss at Miami on Sunday.Carlos Boozer scored 27 points and Deng had 26 for the suddenly free-falling Bulls, who have dropped five of seven. Kirk Hinrich returned to the lineup after missing three consecutive games with a lingering right elbow infection and finished with 11 points, 11 assists and six rebounds.The Bulls played their first game of the season without reserve forward Taj Gibson, who sprained his left knee when he stepped on the foot of Oklahoma City guard Reggie Jackson in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 102-72 loss to the Thunder. Gibson is expected to miss at least two weeks in another devastating injury.Of course,Derrick Rose has missed the entire season while he recovers from major left knee surgery, and Hinrich also has missed a bunch of games due to a myriad of injuries.Wayne Ellington had 13 points for the Cavaliers. Alonzo Gee finished with 11 points and Tristan Thompson added 10 points and eight rebounds.The Bulls and Cleveland handed the lead back and forth for much of the third quarter. Three consecutive charging calls on the Bulls helped the Cavaliers open a 72-67 advantage on Walton's long jumper with two minutes left in the period, but Joakim Noah found Deng inside to help get the Bulls to within one.The Bulls had a chance to go in front in the final seconds of the third, but Marco Belinelli's 3-point attempt was blocked by Livingston and Ellington hit a 3 as time expired to lift Cleveland to a 75-71 lead.
NOTES—Rose and Irving have never faced each other in an NBA game. "Well, I think we're all looking forward to that," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. "My greatest hope is that No. 1 that Derrick Rose comes back and he's back to being the old Derrick Rose. If that happens and they get a chance to go against each other, I think that would be very interesting." … Livingston was a prep star at Peoria Central H.S.. … The Bulls 115-86 win at Cleveland on Nov. 2 is the worst loss of the season for the Cavaliers.

These are but some of the major buzzwords, issues and concepts Barack Obama based his candidacy and campaign on to convince the American electorate to sweep him in to office. Mr. Obama, however, has gone significantly in the opposite direction on each and every one since taking office. As Frank Rich noted, there is a growing "suspicion that Obama's brilliant presidential campaign was as hollow as Tiger's public image — a marketing scam…".
Is there support for this allegation other than anecdotal evidence? Yes, and Micah Sifry has an excellent piece out detailing the basis:
After all, the image of Barack Obama as the candidate of "change", community organizer, and "hope-monger" (his word), was sold intensively during the campaign. Even after the fact, we were told that his victory represented the empowerment of a bottom-up movement, powered by millions of small donors, grassroots volunteers, local field organizers and the internet.
The truth is that Obama was never nearly as free of dependence on big money donors as the reporting suggested, nor was his movement as bottom-up or people-centric as his marketing implied. And this is the big story of 2009, if you ask me, the meta-story of what did, and didn't happen, in the first year of Obama's administration. The people who voted for him weren't organized in any kind of new or powerful way, and the special interests–banks, energy companies, health interests, car-makers, the military-industrial complex–sat first at the table and wrote the menu. Myth met reality, and came up wanting.
Should we really surprised that someone with so much early support from Wall Street and wealthy elites overall might not be inclined to throw the money-changers out of the temple?
When it came to planning for being in government, it turns out that Plouffe, along with David Axelrod, was a chief advocate for bringing in then Rep. Rahm Emanuel as Obama's chief of staff. He writes, using a baseball analogy: "Rahm was a five-tool political player: a strategist with deep policy expertise, considerable experience in both the legislative and executive branches, and a demeanor best described as relentless." (p. 372) Note that nowhere in that vital skill-set is any sense of how to work with the largest volunteer base any presidential campaign has developed in history. Rahm Emanuel came up in politics the old-fashioned way; organizing and empowering ordinary people are the least of his skills.
It is an extremely interesting piece by Sifry, and I recommend a read of the entirety. For those that have not read David Plouffe's book on the campaign, The Audacity To Win, or one of the other long form reports of the Obama 2008 campaign, Sifry lays open the hollowness of Obama's "grass roots". Use em and lose em appears to have been the Obama modus operandi. The American people were desperate for something to latch onto, and Obama and Plouffe gave them a slickly tailored package.
As Digby notes, this line by Sifry really sums it up:
Now, there is a new enthusiasm gap, but it's no longer in Obama's favor. That's because you can't order volunteers to do anything–you have to motivate them, and Obama's compromises to almost every powers-that-be are tremendously demotivating.
I think that is exactly right, and the needle in much of the activist base is moving from "demotivated" to downright demoralized and antagonistic. Yet Obama and his administration, notably Rahm Emanuel, indignantly continue to poke sticks in the eyes of the activist base and boast about it; and it is not from necessity, it is from design and pleasure.
Quite frankly, the seeds of this should have been seen coming. I have never forgotten the shudders I felt when I read two interrelated articles by Matt Stoller and David Dayen discussing how, heading into the 2008 general election, Obama was not just benefitting from, but devouring and commandeering broad swaths of Democratic base activist groups and their power, and actively working to marginalize and cripple those that didn't assimilate into his Borg.
From Stoller:
This isn't a criticism; again, Obama made his bet that the country isn't into ideological combat and wants a politics of unity and hope, and he has won at internally. In terms of the 'Iron Law of Institutions', the Obama campaign is masterful. From top to bottom, they have destroyed their opponents within the party, stolen out from under them their base, and persuaded a whole set of individuals from blog readers to people in the pews to ignore intermediaries and believe in Barack as a pure vessel of change.
All I'll add is that it's time to think through the consequences of a party where there is a new chief with massive amounts of power. I've been in the wilderness all my political life, as have most of us. The Clintonistas haven't, and they know what it's like to be part of the inside crew. We have a leader, and he's not a partisan and he can now end fractious intraparty fights with a word and/or a nod. His opinion really matters in a way that even Nancy Pelosi's just did not. He has control of the party apparatus, the grassroots, the money, and the messaging environment. He is also, and this is fundamental, someone that millions of people believe in as a moral force. When you disagree with Obama, you are saying to these people 'your favorite band sucks'.
And DDay:
There's nothing shadowy about this – it's an extension of what the Obama campaign has been doing since he entered the race. He's building a new Democratic infrastructure, regimenting it under his brand, and enlisting new technologies and more sophisticated voter contacting techniques to turn it from a normal GOTV effort into a lasting movement. The short-term goal is to increase voter turnout by such a degree that Republicans will wither in November, not just from a swamp of cash but a flood of numbers. The long-term goal is to subvert the traditional structures of the Democratic Party since the early 1990s, subvert the nascent structures that the progressive movement has been building since the late 1990s, and build a parallel structure, under his brand, that will become the new power center in American politics. This is tremendous news.
However, despite his calls that change always occurs from the bottom up, these structures are very much being created and controlled from the top down.
Stoller and DDay, although both seemed to have a nagging question or two, both thought that the gathering "Obama Nation" was a good thing and that once he took office the immense consolidated power and organization would, in fact, as Obama was jawing, be used to end the age old grip of corporate money and influence and propel good new and different policies into action. This pie in the sky was directly defied by passages in their own articles though. Not only was Obama consolidating Democratic power to serve only him from the top down, he was taking out people and groups that didn't step in to his line.
I have heard from several sources that the Obama campaign is sending out signals to donors, specifically at last weekend's Democracy Alliance convention, to stop giving to outside groups, including America Votes. The campaign also circulated negative press reports about Women's Voices Women's Vote, implying voter suppression.
He has bypassed Actblue, and will probably end up building in a Congressional slate feature to further party build while keeping control of the data.
The campaign has also, despite thousands of interviews with a huge number of outlets, refused to have Obama interact on progressive blogs.
I'm also told, though I can't confirm, that Obama campaign has also subtly encouraged donors to not fund groups like VoteVets and Progressive Media. These groups fall under the 'same old Washington politics' which he wants to avoid, a partisan gunslinging contest he explicitly advocates against.
But wresting away ALL the power and consolidating it is I think a misunderstanding of how inside and outside groups can be mutually reinforcing and part of a more vibrant cultural and political movement, and how the culture is moving toward more decentralized, more viral, looser networks to organize. Obama's movement, based on unity and hope, is working because politics is of the moment, a fad, Paris Hilton. To sustain that, you must institutionalize engagement, civic participation, awareness and action, even in a non-horse race year, as a necessary facet of citizenship. And there's no reason to shut down reinforcing progressive structures that can keep it fun and interesting and vital.
Shutting down Democratic and progressive structures that do not toe his line is exactly what Obama and his right hand man, Rahm Emanuel, have done since the election. As Stoller and DDay noted, they actually started even before the election and accelerated after it. The deal was sealed when, immediately after the election, Obama chose the iron fist of DLC strongman Rahm Emanuel to lead his administration, immediately dumped Howard Dean and began shuttering Dean's wildly successful fifty state apparatus.
There was only one reason to do that, and it was not to germinate a new grass roots policy force; it was to consolidate power and kill off any other voices and/or authority within the party. As Micah Sifry demonstrated, consolidation and exclusion were always a part of the Obama plan. Almost more disconcerting than Obama's singular cornering of all the power and movement is his refusal to use it to propel new policies. Not even on healthcare did Obama even attempt to truly energize and mobilize the vaunted Obama network, preferring instead to leave it up to the lobbyists, in the bag Congressmen like Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman and corporate interests.
This is exactly what has made the progressive campaign and voice of Jane Hamsher, Cenk Uygur, Firedoglake and other awakening progressive movements so critical. It is crystal clear the Obama Presidency is less than it was advertised to be; the only route to correction is through power and action; assertion of independent power is the only thing they will respect and acknowledge. The change will not come through old school Washington politicians beholden to corrupt financial institutions, the insurance lobby and corporate interests. Politicians like Barack Obama and Rahm Emanuel.

Simulation at Lincoln HS teaches real-life money management
Students learn to choose between needs, wants
Students at Lincoln High School were given a real-life lesson on Friday about the importance of money management in a simulation presented by the Golden 1 Credit Union.
Mad City Money was a half-day event for about 100 Lincoln students in which real-world budgeting was practiced by giving the students a job, family and debt.
"A look at our economy shows how important a solid financial foundation is," said Michael Lee, Golden 1 member-education manager. "This program helps get young people pointed in the right direction so that when financial temptation and bad influences inevitably materialize, they will be better prepared."

LONDON – Michael O'Leary knows full well that many people consider him a provocative jerk and his European juggernaut of an airline, Ryanair, an exercise in frustration.
Now he wants you to meet the cuddly new Mick.
Ryanair last year carried more than 81 million people to 186 destinations, bigger than any European rival. It's positioned to record fiscal 2014 net profits above 500 million euros ($690 million).
But O'Leary says his company has taken a hard look in the mirror — and decided that, to keep up its industry-leading growth rate, Ryanair can no longer be seen as merely the cheapest option for travellers. It must become comfortable, easy, maybe even enjoyable to use.
"We have been needlessly irritating people, from our creaking old website to our interrogation of passengers over the size of their purses," O'Leary told The Associated Press during a media briefing in London. "For 20-odd years, our focus has been to stack the product high and sell it cheap. We're still going to do that, but we're going to let the customer relax in the process,"
Customers have good reason to be skeptical.
Search for "Ryanair" on the Internet and a flood of customer complaints pop up. They range from the airline's brushoff of complaints to its refusal of compensation claims, its ambush charges on first-time customers, its labyrinthine website menus and opt-out traps that impose surprise extra charges.
But during an hour-long presentation to European media highlighting his reform plans, O'Leary insisted his airline was changing both in style and substance.
For laughs, he displayed a picture of himself cuddling a puppy.
"When I go around saying mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, I'm sorry for what I've done wrong — well, this generates huge publicity … Is it just a PR stunt?" he asked.
As usual with O'Leary, it's a heady mix of both. Ryanair is making real and sudden changes, driven by a new interest in meeting the long-unfulfilled demands of customers:
— Out are strict enforcement of bag weights and sizes, and punitive fees for even minor size infractions. In is a new two-bag carry-on policy that permits people to shop in airport terminals without fear of punishment at the boarding gate.
— Out are long, wearying queues for passengers seeking better seats on planes that have no seat assignments. In are automatic seat bookings.
— Out is a maze-like company website that O'Leary himself said makes "me lose the will to live."
O'Leary has shifted from his own headline-generating chatter — Why not charge people to use the toilet? he once asked — to focus on new initiatives to build Ryanair's base of operations in Europe's main business airports and to offer price discounts to families booking together.
Ryanair's biggest change is how it plans to sell itself. For more than a decade, it's embraced the Internet and cut out travel agents, insisting that customers use its Web site only. It also never spent a dime on TV ads.
Now Ryanair's website is about to change radically, with a new ability to pinpoint the cheapest ticket to any destination up to a year in advance, an improvement that will be highlighted in a first-ever TV campaign. Until now, such an effort might have taken hours and ended in confusion or failure.
Ryanair also is partnering with Google to permit its fares to be searched openly on the Internet, another step the airline long fought in courtroom battles. Travel agents, in turn, will be encouraged to use the Google Flight Plan database to buy Ryanair services when organizing package holidays.
O'Leary said Ryanair's no-frills business model was recession-proof but as the continent slowly returns to growth the airline can expand more rapidly by rewarding its customers with targeted discounts using a new personalized loyalty program.
His goal is to keep building what is already, by many measures, Europe's biggest and most successful airline in an era of rising competition with budget rivals.
Standard & Poor's rates Ryanair the best investment in the airline industry and shares have climbed this month above 7.50 euros ($10.50), a modern high and 50 per cent better than a year ago.
O'Leary said his company would keep growing regardless of whether it treats customers better — but he thinks there's opportunities for bigger, faster growth with improved service. He wants to reach 110 million passengers by 2019, and plans to expand his all-Boeing 737 fleet from 300 to 400 in the process.
"We'll grow to 110 million increasingly from business and travel agency distribution," he said. "The travel agents will put together very low cost packages and Ryanair will become a key part of that pricing."
O'Leary said he marvels at the fact that — despite a decade of treating customers like cattle and handling complaints with combativeness — Ryanair still has triumphed.
"Just imagine how many more people we're going to carry and how much more money we're going to make when we give customers more of what they want," he said, adding that "as 4 per cent shareholder, I hope to gain handsomely from it."

Against all odds, Black Friday has grown more competitive this year. Stores opening at midnight on Thanksgiving (while we're still digesting) is old news—this year several chains opened at 8pm yesterday. By 8:05pm, that TV you wanted was gone and your trap was still full of pecan pie.
The worst of it may already be over by now, and you either scored every doorbuster you dreamed of, went home with some consolation prizes, or were the 13th person in line for 12 monitors and retired to Auntie Anne's to cry into your pretzels and cheese dip. It's okay, champ. You'll get them next year. Or maybe you waged your war online, where merchandise is more plentiful and lines are nonexistent and… wait, why does anyone shop in real life anymore?
Now we want to hear about your Black Friday experiences. We're talking this year, last year, many years ago; from the perspective of a shopper, worker, or even support staff for a retail site crashing under the weight of deal seekers. Black Friday seems like a crazy endeavor to some, but for every person who tries it and swears to never partake again there's one for whom it's the best kind of blood sport.
From rage to joy, we demand you leave all your emotions on the comment dance floor below.

Oracle's announcement earlier this week of its intended acquisition of Sun ends months of speculation. Who would have expected Oracle to become a server and storage hardware vendor?
Of course there are some that wonder if Oracle will hold onto all that gear.
"There is speculation on what Oracle will do with Sun hardware: Keep them, sell them off, invest in them or let them fade away," said Greg Schulz, an analyst with StorageIO Group (Stillwater, Minn.). "I smell concern for Sun storage and server customers and opportunity in the near term for Dell, EMC, IBM, HP and NetApp."
Attempts to contact Sun proved fruitless. The company is effectively muzzled while the process unfolds. So what is going down?
Liam McGlynn, an analyst with Enterprise Management Associates (Boulder, Colo.), sees the immediate problem as being how Oracle will convince Sun server users of its commitment to that hardware platform.
"Under normal circumstances, this task would be daunting," he said. "In a time of slumping budgets, declining server market and a moribund Sun, Oracle needs more than a statement that it will continue with Sun's strategic plan. They need a burning bush, and they cannot spend much time striking the match."
One person, at least, is optimistic on the hardware side. John Webster, an analyst with Illuminata (Nashua, N.H.), heard the web conference and noted the statement that Oracle felt it could run Sun more profitably than Sun execs. Webster interprets that as meaning Oracle will continue to present Sun and its product line to the buying public, "lock, stock and disk array."
"It says, to me at least, that Oracle will depend on a goodly percentage of Sun's current workforce to continue to develop, sell, and support those products," said Webster. "Therefore this deal is probably way better for current Sun employees than the IBM alternative."
Not About the Hardware
But is hardware the motivation for the merger? McGlynn doesn't think so.
"Oracle is the big winner in this deal and hardware is not the reason," he said. "Oracle gains control of Java the core of its Fusion middleware."
EMA also sees Sun's xVM and virtual systems management capabilities as a huge asset to Oracle. Why? Oracle VM placed 10th in penetration in recent EMA research. The company needs all the help it can get to gain ground in the virtualization arena. Similarly, Sun's Ops Center potentially boosts Oracle's management capabilities across a wider set of hardware and systems.
Haff takes this argument a stage further. He sees Sun as a systems vendor, not a hardware vendor witness the degree to which Sun has ramped up its software business and its involvement in open source.
"Sun Solaris and Java were instrumental in Oracle's decision to acquire Sun," said Haff. "So this isn't really a software company buying a hardware one."
He puts this in the context of the system vendor landscape, which is reconstituting into big, highly integrated companies that can do it all. The purchase of Sun lets Oracle take this to the next level. It will be tightly integrating the Oracle database to high-end features of Solaris to deliver complete integrated computer systems applications-to-disk.
"With Oracle's applications portfolio, it's actually a more vertical integration than even IBM offers directly for the most part," said Haff. "If there was any doubt that the pendulum is in full swing back to large, integrated systems companies, this should erase it. We had IBM and HP (most recently with its EDS acquisition). Now we have Oracle. And Cisco is easing over that way."
DBA Heaven
Most analysts tend to be a little cynical or at the very least highly conservative beasts. So it is refreshing to be greeted with some genuine enthusiasm from that camp. Curtis Breville, another EMA analyst, has at various times been a Solaris administrator, an Oracle DBA and a StorageTek engineer. And he is stoked about all this.
"The acquisition makes perfect sense and has this analyst geeked out like few other corporate takeovers I've seen," said Breville. "This may very well put Oracle in the lead spot over Cisco in an effort to become supreme galactic overlord of the datacenter."
Initially, he says, the announcement will bring huge relief to the thousands of database administrators who struggle with the issues of marrying the appropriate technology with the performance and capacity demands of the database and applications they support. He envisions orderable solutions where database administrators or storage administrators can state the characteristics and demands they have for their front-end applications, place their order, and in return receive the appropriate hardware and software configuration equipped with the storage lifecycle management, protection and efficiency technologies via Sun/StorageTek equipment.
"If done right, the synergies to come from the merger of companies of such powerful technologies the leading enterprise database from Oracle with mature, proven, enterprise-class storage technology from Sun will solve problems spanning back 20 years and shine a promising ray of light on future data management solutions to come," said Breville.

Alexis Lum is building a laneway house in his parents' backyard for three reasons: It's more affordable than a two-bedroom apartment; he can rent it out if he decides not to live there; and he can have privacy and independence from his parents, while being close enough for regular family dinners.
"I do love mama's cooking," he said, adding that he's sharing the investment with his brother, Antoine, 31. Lum, 28, is a French secondary school teacher at Southpointe Academy in Tsawwassen.
Lum's situation is pretty typical: laneway houses have been allowed in Vancouver since 2009, and usually they are built as a way for parents to help their adult children get into the pricey Vancouver housing market.
Lum grew up in the Dunbar house behind which he's now building the laneway house for about $270,000, and he's really excited to get the keys.
"I love it. It's absolutely fantastic — it's a beautiful, small house," Lum said of the two-bedroom home in his parents' backyard.
Michael Lyons, vice-president of marketing for Smallworks, a builder of laneway homes in Vancouver, said that at least half of his customers are building these small houses at the back of their lots for the next generation.
"They can't afford to buy in the neighbourhood where they grew up. People want to stay close to their family," he said.
The cost to build a laneway home averages between $250,000 and $270,000; that price includes preconstruction costs of $11,500, excavation and site work of about $30,000 to $35,000 and another $175,000 to $200,000 for the construction, Lyons said.
"By the time the dust has settled, you're in the $250,000 to $270,000 range."
For that, you can have a 500-square-foot house with one bedroom and one bathroom, plus a garage, on a regular 33-foot-by-122-foot lot in Vancouver, Lyons said. A 50-foot-by-122-foot lot can accommodate a 750-square-foot house, plus garage, with two bedrooms and two baths. And yes, they can be built on the west side of the city. In fact, 80 per cent of Vancouver properties fit the necessary R1 or R5 zoning, Lyons said.
With the benchmark price for all residential properties in Greater Vancouver sitting at $679,000 and housing affordability a significant problem in the Lower Mainland, a laneway house could be considered a bargain.
You cannot stratify or subdivide to sell the house separately; it rides with the property like a basement suite, Lyons said. However, co-owners can have a contract between them that splits the ownership, based on whatever terms they agree to.
For financing, although the landowner's name must always be on the documents, some banks, including Vancity, have created mortgages specifically designed for laneway homes. Vancity waives the legal and appraisal fees for these mortgages and gives two per cent cash back to people who bring another mortgage to Vancity for a laneway home, said Colin Lawrence, mortgage development manager at Vancity.
"We made a decision to support laneway homes as a way to make home ownership more affordable and also to build up the city's rental stock," Lawrence said.
Lawrence has personally worked on financing about 20 laneway homes and says demand is growing as people are starting to catch on to the idea. He cautioned families to get independent legal advice if their intention is to share ownership, so that everyone is protected.
The next generation can get the financing themselves and pay the mortgage, Lyons said, adding that right now a laneway house adds about $300,000 to the value of a property.
For homeowners looking for rental income, a laneway home would also be a good investment.
The mortgage on $250,000 would cost about $1,200 a month, Lyons said, but laneway homes can rent out for as much as $2,000 a month on the west side, or $1,700 a month on the east side.
"Basement suites are renting out for $1,600 or $1,700 a month for a two bedroom on the west side of Vancouver," he said. "It's not surprising that a detached house — where you don't have to live below someone with their kids running around or playing piano above your head — would rent for more.
"You've got lots of light, you've got two floors and you've got two bathrooms. Of course it's going to be valuable."
Additional costs to bear in mind are property taxes, which will add about $25 per month, and insurance which could also tack on about $25 per month.
Lyons said the laneway houses are also freeing up rental suites because often the people who live in a laneway house would otherwise be renting.
"This allows people to live closer to where they work, play and go to school. It also provides more rental units in city that is very short on rental houses," Lyons said. "People are getting used to seeing these in their neighbourhood. People see them and think, "That would be really good for us.' "

Principals help build city school new playground
New playground offers inclusive features for disabled children
Principals from across the country are using a little elbow grease to make life at one Baltimore school a little better.
The National Association of Elementary School Principals Conference is in town this week, but before getting down to business, more than 50 of those school principals are helping build a brand new playground for students at John Ruhrah Elementary-Middle School in southeast Baltimore.
"I can't explain what a wonderful feeling it is that they would come from all over the country to help my school. My parents are so appreciative of their dedication to public school kids, and we're just thrilled," said John Ruhrah's principal, Mary Donnelly.
For the past several years, the principals have kicked off their annual conference with a community service project. They hope the new playground will provide students with a fun way to get and stay physically fit.
"We know as educators that when you take care of the physical, that certainly helps the mental and academic, and we hope the structure of this playground and the children using it for years to come will benefit them academically, as well," said Nancy Meador, a principal from Nashville.
Donnelly said the school's old playground equipment was out-of-date and borderline unsafe at times. It was taken out in May to make room for new state-of-the-art safe equipment with climbing walls, slides and spinning structures.
One of the cool things about the playground is that it has inclusive features, which means it is accessible for children with disabilities.
"It basically has a transfer station on it. It allows children in a wheelchair to be able to transfer onto the structure and to be able to use the equipment side by side with their peers," said Steve Hare of Landscape Structures.
The students and staff couldn't be more excited to have the new playground for the school and for the entire community to enjoy.
"It's a gathering place for the community. When the old playground was up here, this playground in nice weather was filled with parents with their kids, and they'd be talking to each other and making friendships and making connections. So, it's a real important part of the community," Donnelly said.

It's appropriate in that it makes sense for the northern stronghold of Winterfell to have snow on it and the Game of Thrones season three premiere is almost here, not that we're anywhere near the holidays right now.
On the other hand, who am I to tell anyone when they can and can't build gingerbread houses? Have at it I guess. I especially like the direwolf made of…um…is that Play-Doh?

The striker's four-year stay at Old Trafford appears to be coming to an end after he managed just 12 league appearances last term, scoring seven goals.
A year earlier he was the Premier League's equal top-scorer.
The Bulgarian, who cost United £30 million when he joined from top-flight rivals Tottenham, wants to see out the final year of his United contract but is fast giving up hope of remaining at Old Trafford.
And the Bulgarian international took to his Facebook page Sunday to voice his frustration.
"The truth is, I love this club, but I am not going to be useful to anyone if I am not playing," said the 31-year-old. "And I want to play, I want to help
"But for unknown reasons it's not going to happen, or my chances will be limited, so it's better for everyone if we say goodbye.
"If not, I am professional and I will keep doing everything I can to help my team and my team-mates, whenever I have opportunity to do so."
Reports have suggested United have put a price tag of £10 million on Berbatov, although the forward said manager Sir Alex Ferguson had told him the figure was half of that amount.
"Because I am tired of speculation, I am telling you this," wrote Berbatov.
"I read the papers and I see they say 10 million pounds is my price. I go and talk with Sir Alex, and he says to me 5 million. So who is telling the truth, what do you think??"
Berbatov has scored 48 league goals at United, helping them to two Premier League titles.
But his Old Trafford future has been in doubt since he was left out of the squad for the 2010-11 Champions League final against Barcelona at Wembley.
Last season he found himself behind Wayne Rooney and young strikers Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez in the pecking order, although he did score a hat-trick against Wigan on Boxing Day.

Proposal bars rapists from seeking parental rights
New Mexico lawmakers are proposing to stop rapists from seeking custody or visitation rights for children conceived during a sexual assault.
Rep. Conrad James, an Albuquerque Republican, said he's unaware of any pending New Mexico case in which a rapist is seeking parental rights but wants to stop that from happening as it has in other states. He said most states don't have laws that terminate parental rights for rapists.
James, who lost his re-election bid, said Rep. Alonzo Baldonado, a Los Lunas Republican, will introduce the proposal in the legislative session that begins later this month.
The lawmakers said in a statement that current New Mexico law allows a rapist to ask a court for custody of the rape victim's child or seek visitation rights.

The Ottoman Empire : is it back to life in modern day Turkey?
Translated by Matthew Hall.
The period following the attempted coup d'état on 15 July 2016 in Turkey has been characterised by efforts to reshape our understanding of historic events. This historical revision is a regular occurrence in Turkish history since the foundation of the Republic in 1923 by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who placed an emphasis on the pre-Islamic history of the Turkish people and considered that the Ottoman Empire was reactionary and needed to be consigned to the past. This wish to manipulate history saw a turning point through the arrival in power of the AKP (Justice and Development Party) in 2002. The AKP, which inherited the tradition of political Islam in Turkey, has positioned itself to be the voice of a majority that had been too often ignored and even held in contempt by the elites during Atatürk's rule, and its takeover of political power allowed Turkey to reclaim the Islamic and Ottoman eras as their own. The increase of symbols representative of Ottoman power[1] that are sometimes used as decorations, such as stickers on car windscreens and mobile phone cases, as well as the large number of cafes bearing the name 'Ottoman', the growth of ice-cream sellers dressed in clothing corresponding to the image that Europe has of the Ottoman Empire and the popularity of this style in furniture shops, feature among those of the imperial legacy that were previously suppressed.
