The rock and roller who only a month ago was confined to a hospital bed with a hemorrhaging brain climbed back on the stage Friday night. Bret Michaels performed for a crowd of 1,400 at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi showing little signs of his recent health ordeals.
Donald Trump's newest Apprentice brushed off the stroke he suffered four weeks prior with a quip to the crowd: "I've got a little bitty hitch in my left giddy up, but I think we'll be all right." The 47-year-old Michaels strutted across the Biloxi stage with a slight limp, but otherwise gave an energetic performance, People reported.
The set list drew heavily from the days when he fronted the legendary arena rock band Poison, including "Unskinny Bop" and "Every Rose Has Its Thorn."
U.S. & World
Doctors had warned Michaels against rushing back into the rock star lifestyle so quickly after his two major health problems. But Michaels did not miss a beat, performing on American Idol finale and then jumping right into the Celebrity Apprentice finale as well. VH1 cameras were on hand at the Hard Rock to film for an upcoming reality show centered on the ironman star, "Brett Michaels: Life as I Know It."

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions.My OG was 1044 which was spot on for my kit.I have to figure out the oxidation situation. I don't want to ruin batches due to this problem. I am hoping some more time to carb will help. It has been carbing for 2 weeks at room temp (65 degrees). Cheers to progress on the next batch! I'm thinking of an IPA.
Id it was LME, it's possible the extract was already oxidized and it didn't happen during the process.
[...]Racked it into the secondary, trying to avoid splashing and sealed it up. Sat in the secondary for 2 weeks and clarity greatly improved.[...]
hmmmmmm. Well I have read that secondary really just helps with clarity and being a noob, I was worried about the brew sitting on the yeast cake for super long.

You may have noticed we recently launched the Rules of the Game column.
In college, I watched the old Jean Renoir film, The Rules of the Game, a satire of upper-class French society before World War II. Here's one thing I recall from my college film class: The movie is known for its depth of focus. In other words, a viewer's attention is drawn not only the lead actors in the forefront, but also the background action.
Over the past few years, such "background action" in stocks has attracted more and more of my attention. What do I mean by that? I was initially trained as a growth investor, and for several years I taught seminars on simple methods for identifying hot growth stocks: Chart patterns, moving averages, basic earnings and revenue-growth data.
But my stock-analysis methodologies, while continuing to rely on technicals, also evolved to include a greater number of fundamental indicators.
So this column will feature analysis that goes beyond basic technicals and earnings growth data. I'll also get into some portfolio-construction ideas, such as sector and asset-class diversification. These days, my focus tends to be more on large- and mid-caps, but small-caps won't be left out!
With all that in mind, I wanted to share some ideas from a screen I ran that looked for companies with strong free cash flow. This is a metric I have grown to use more and more, and it's a very simple calculation: Take a company's cash from operations, and subtract capital expenditures. It's a good way of gauging a company's ability to fund projects without them having to leverage up.
I scanned for large- and mid-cap companies that have grown their free cash flow over the past three years. I then overlaid some parameters for price performance to get a more complete picture.
I'll go into some detail about one of those stocks today, and flesh out details about others later this week.
For example, Visa (V) has grown free cash flow for the past four years, with that figure totaling $4.76 per share most recently. That jibes with some of the other fundamental strength evident in this stock. For instance, earnings have grown at rates of 21% or more in every quarter of the past two years. Analysts see per-share income of $7.25 this year, up 17% from 2011 -- and, next year, the company expects earnings of $8.36 per share, a gain of another 15%.
The stock is most definitely extended at this point, having rallied 47% year to date. It rallied to an all-time high of $149.93 Friday, and notched a new closing high, $149.71. That's 6.6% above its 50-day average, and 18.3% above its 200-day. That's a bit frothy -- though, of course, frothy stocks can and do run higher still, frustrating those who wait for a pullback.
However, I always prefer to err on the side of caution. The stock has trended above its five-day exponential line since Nov. 16. A retreat to at least the 15-day line, if not the 50- or 200-day, would make an entry more palatable.
This is a good watch-list candidate for reasons pertaining to its fundamentals and technical -- as well as to its story. Electronic payments are only poised to keep growing globally, and Visa is well-positioned to take advantage of the continued move away from cash and checks.

Huge dog fighting ring busted in Seffner | Crime
Seffner, Florida -- Hillsborough County Animal Services is reporting the bust of a huge dog fighting ring in the Seffner area Tuesday afternoon.
So far, animal services says they have rescued seven dogs but, according to one of the two men arrested in this case, there are potentially hundreds more that will be found dead or buried on the remote property.
Sergeant Pam Perry of Hillsborough County Animal Services calls the scene as very depressing and very disheartening.
"We knew after the statement he [the suspect] made to us that we were walking on a graveyard," Perry tells 10 News.
Perry says they have already recovered several skulls and carcasses of dead animals.
The dogs they did manage to save were kept in horrible conditions. Dogs were kept in tow chains and living in their own fecal matter with no potable water.
The identities of the men arrested have not yet been identified. 10 News will have more on this story, as well as the future plans of the seven dogs saved as soon as information becomes available.

One-Pot Wonders: Soba Noodles with Shrimp and Wakame
Get the Recipe
Noodles are comforting in more than one way. Sure, they provide sustenance, but what about the joy of swirling them around with a fork or chopsticks, or the way they pick up sauce and broth as you slurp? Whether I'm hungover, sick, or just plain tired, noodles are always my go-to dish.
That said, there are risks. Bland sauces and overcooked, mushy noodles seem more the norm than the exception, particularly with quick recipes like this one. We're going to make sure our noodles are cooked perfectly al dente (in the same pot as the other ingredients, no less!); then we'll pack 'em with flavor bombs like mirin, soy sauce, sesame oil, and sriracha. It's the sort of combo that can be a harried weeknight cook's best friend.
I start off by cooking dried buckwheat soba noodles in a skillet with a few cups of chicken broth until they're about halfway done. Then, I toss in my other quick-cooking ingredients so that they finish just as the noodles hit al dente. Shrimp's a prime candidate: not only does it cook quickly, but it adds great flavor to the broth base.
Traditionally, soba is served with a sea broth made with kelp and shaved dried bonito. It can be quite time consuming to create a separate broth, but I found that by using a bit of dried wakame—the green Japanese seaweed you often see in miso soup—I could easily bring an oceany aroma to the broth, while also adding an edible green vegetable to the bowl. Two birds with one stone!
Finally, slender enoki mushrooms cook quickly and bulk up the dish to make it a filling dinner. The mushrooms can be found in most Asian supermarkets and are light and mild in flavor. I like using them in noodle dishes because their slender, noodle-like shape is great for picking up broth.
To season up the finished dish, I add just a dash of soy sauce for a salty umami boost, a splash of mirin for sweetness, and a drizzle of sesame oil for its rich, toasty aroma. If you want to call it a day, you can finish the dish right there and just serve it with some sriracha and limes at the table—a whole meal, and you didn't even have to pull out the knife!
But if you're willing to whip out that cutting board, some sliced scallions go nicely stirred into the noodles. One pot, fifteen minutes, minimal knife work, and dinner is served. Delicious dinner, to be specific.

1953 Studebaker Pickup Gets Vent Windows- Vent Frustration
Roof Chops And Working Vent Windows
We've brought you numerous stories on how to chop a roof over the years, as well as recently covering how to cut the glass to match, but one job that always makes a chop seem more complete is when the finished car has working vent windows too. It's a tedious and time-consuming job, but one that is worth the effort involved, and if you are capable of performing the actual chop, reshaping the vent windows is easy in comparison.
While hanging out at Brad Masterson's shop (Masterson Kustom Automobiles) he mentioned he'd be tackling the vent windows on Transmission John's radical '53 Studebaker pickup that had already been chopped, giving us the perfect photo opportunity. Though the hinge system on the Studebaker is different than most cars, the vent window opening at an angle as the lower hinge point is located on the lower curve of the window, the principle is the same as other cars.
Points to remember are to align the upper and lower hinges when the vent window and frame are rebuilt and to ensure the rear edge of the new glass, when it is installed, is in the same location as the original, to maintain a factory-like seal. The Studebaker doesn't use a vertical window channel for the main door glass, unlike most cars, but ensuring the rear edge of the glass, and therefore the rearmost ends of the vent window channel, are correctly located will mean it will seal against the door glass.

Grandma Edith and Grandpa Woodie Brittain both grew up in Oklahoma, and were married there before moving to California in 1940. Grandma Edith traveled via Greyhound Bus back home to Oklahoma often to visit her family and work on the family history with her cousin, Fritz.
Here are some fun photos of Dad and Grandma's road trip through the Southwest!
|Grandma Edith on the left, and Dad on the right
|Anyone up for a carriage ride?
|Looks like Dad was getting ready to do some work!
|Dad in the middle, and Grandma Edith on the right.
I think the gentleman on the left may have been a cousin.
Fortunately, Dad never tired of the Southwest region, and I was lucky enough to go on a couple wonderful vacations with him and Mom before he passed away. Here's a photo from one of those trips that I'll never forget!
|Bill Brittain, Wendy Brittain, and Becky Bartram Brittain
I believe we were on our way to Chaco Canyon that day.

Ben Bernanke may think that the recession is over but don't tell that to the executives at Blockbuster.
The corporate heads of the video chain store have been scratching their heads recently trying to figure out how to approach a quickly changing market.
And now the Starbucks of video rentals may be following the coffee giant's lead and closing stores across the country to deal with the change, according to a regulatory filing reported by the Biz Journals.
The paper reported Blockbuster may close up to 960 unprofitable stores by the end of 2010 to refocus itself.
The Dallas-based company is struggling to deal with the likes of Los Gatos-based Netflix and the Redbox kiosk machines, which rents DVDs for $1.
Blockbuster has long been reacting to both Netflix and Redbox's leads. The mega chain started an online movie renting system years ago to compete with the popular Netflix, which recently expanded its inventory and began streaming movies directly to users' computers and Tivos.
Recently Blockbuster also announced it was taking aim at the pesky Redbox system -- which is quickly developing a love-hate relationship with Hollywood -- by introducing its own kiosk rental machines across the country. Whether the moves will be enough to close Blockbuster's $39.7 million second quarter losses is something the industry is finally starting to study.
Blockbuster Struggles to Keep Up With Netflix, Redbox
Video chain store could close hundreds of stores across the country
Ben Bernanke may think that the recession is over but don't tell that to the executives at Blockbuster.

Na Wa Ti Natiye
>> Tuesday, March 02, 2010
I have seen the movie Avatar three times now. I keep finding a reason to take someone who has not seen it but really wants to go. I thought this was going to be a horrendous movie. I was floored at how good it was. I loved the development of the relationship. Now your probably thinking where is she going with this. Stay with me for a minute.
I recently went to a mini seminar where the prestigious speaker was telling an interesting story of her travels abroad. Turns out many South African greetings literally translate to, "I see you". As in the movie its meaning is literal but for the South Africans it is not just I see you but I acknowledge you and everything you represent. This is totally unlike a New York greeting. That's if you get a greeting or even eye contact. For the movie Avatar the Navi's greeting was respectful to the elders and to the relationship, it was intimate. The words are a sign of respect and can be used to say to your mate, I see through you, almost on a soul level, or I know you as no one else.
After seeing the movie with my spouse for the first time I had this strong desire to try out those three little words. What's the most that could happen? He could have laughed at me and I probably would have laughed back at the corniness of the moment. So I gave it a try. Right before bed, I looked into his eyes for a few moments and said softly, "I see you". Then he reciprocated, "I see you" with the most passionate kiss. Now I have to learn it in his language and he will really be impressed.
Wouldn't it be great if every language used "I see you" with an understanding to friends, respect for parents, endearment for children and a combination of meanings with your partner. What if these three words spread from South Africa to the rest of the world. It would look like this:
English: I see you
Afrikans: Ek Sien jy
French: Je te vois
Creole: Mwen we'
Irish: Fe'ach me' tu'
Sweedish: Jag ser dig
Spanish: Te veo
Danish: Jeg kanse dig
Filipino: Makita ko sa inyo
and in closing, to you,
Navi: Na wa ti natiye

TAIPEI/TOKYO, April 24th, 2019 --- Taisys Technologies and Japan Communications Inc. (JCI) announced that the two parties have established the strategic partnership in developing and delivering Cold Wallet for cryptocurrency used by smartphones.
In designing FPoS (Fintech Platform over SIM), JCI adopted subSIM provided by Taisys, the patent holder and the leading maker of SIM overlay. FPoS has been already succeeded in Experiment by FSA's (Financial Service Agency, Japanese Government Authority of Financial Industry) FinTech Experiment Hub and it is now underway to commercial service launch. (Refer to FSA's announcement on January 24, 2019, and JCI's announcement on the same day regarding the successful results on FPoS experiment.)
FPoS will bring security of internet banking to the level never been achieved before without compromising the ease of use. Use of subSIM makes FPoS possible to be applied to variety of applications.
One application requested by the market is Cold Wallet, which is expected to be mandated by the government to secure the customer asset of cryptocurrency. This is in line with Japanese Government and FSA's promotion of cryptocurrency by establishing regulatory environment.
According to the Japanese regulatory environmental changes, Taisys and JCI will develop and deliver "my Cold Wallet" with world's highest security by a) Strict KYC (know your customer) process defined by and compliant with Digital Signature Act, b) Strong authentication of the user as has been proved by FSA Experiment Project, and c) cold wallet function secured by IC card in the form of SIM overlay.
Taisys and JCI intend to make "my Cold Wallet" as de facto standard in Japan, but also to bring it outside of Japan to the global market. Taisys continues to contribute in realizing the vision of improving mobile interconnectivity and security.
About Japan Communications Inc.
Japan Communications Inc. (JCI) was established on May 24, 1996 as the company to fulfill the objective of the Ministry of Communications and Internal Affairs (MIC) that next-generation Internet, driven by mobile communications, should form the foundation of Japan's future economic growth. JCI's business model later became to be called MVNO. In March 2009, JCI achieved interconnection with NTT docomo under MIC's policies to liberalize the mobile market. This interconnection meant that consumers could purchase mobile connectivity (SIMs) from sources other than the mobile carriers for the first time and led to the creation of the "kakuyasu SIM" market. Now it is time for companies from all industries, not just cellular companies, to embed mobile connectivity in to their devices. As the MVNO pioneer and the world's first mobile solutions enabler, we are using our strong technological vision and know-how in implementation to build the next generation platforms required to support the next phase of global economic growth, which will originate in Japan. Offices are located in Tokyo, Japan, Denver (Colorado) and Ponte Vedra (Florida) in the United States, and Dublin, Ireland. JCI is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. (Securities Code: 9424). As JCI's Corporate governance policy, outside directors comprise the majority of the Board of Director and all outside directors are independent directors.
About Taisys Technologies

Established in 2005 and headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan Taisys has built solutions based on its patented core technology SIMoME® (SIM overlay), which decouples value-added services from the main SIM, and empowers industry players the ability to deploy innovative services on the mobile equipment.

Happy Friday, crafty friends! It's always a happy day when we are celebrating a brand new release from Simon Says stamp, right?! Their latest collection is called You Are Loved went live in December, and it is full of lovely products! Simon is doing a free Distress Oxide ink pad in Festive Berries as a gift with purchase promotion - just use the code LVE584 upon checkout to take advantage while supplies last! The code will expire on Sunday, 01/13 at 11:59 pm ET.
This is day 2 of the You Are Loved Blog Hop, and we've got quite the lineup for you! I will put all of the blog hop details at the end of my post, but how about we get to my cards first? I did get some of the sweet love themed items that I will be using soon, but the item that caught my attention first was the Moments of Grace stamp set. If you know anything about me, you know that sadly, I've received many sympathy cards after the deaths of my little ones. I know they probably aren't your favorite type of card to make, but I can tell you from experience that they are so important. It really helps when people acknowledge your hurt, and surround you with love during a time that is so hard.
I feel like this stamp set is a must have in your craft studio. The larger sentiments are visibly beautiful, but even more importantly, the smaller sentiments are SO very, very heartfelt. They would be perfect to go on the inside of your card if you didn't feel like they fit on the front. I combined it with the Damask Background cling stamp, and they are a beautifully elegant pair.
To start, I stamped & heat embossed the Damask Background in Detail White embossing powder to white cardstock panels using my MISTI. I use this Clearsnap Top Boss embossing ink because it is tinted, and I can see if I got a good stamp impression, which is super helpful to me.
Next I taped each panel down to my Tonic craft mat, and gave them a good water wash. Then I used a size 4 watercolor brush, and dropped Pinkfresh Studio liquid watercolor here & there in the following colors: Emerald City, Sky Blue & Bubblegum. I wanted to keep the colors light, so I added water when needed and mopped anything that was too saturated up with a paper towel. I also lightly misted them with my Distress Sprayer to help move the colors around, and mix them a bit. Once the backgrounds looked how I wanted them, I set them aside to dry.
While the watercolor panels dried, I stamped & heat embossed the sentiments in Brutus Monroe Gilded embossing powder to vellum. This has been my go to gold embossing powder since receiving it in a collaboration last summer. It is the perfect shade of gold, it has the perfect amount of shine and it melts beautifully. I highly suggest it if you are looking for a fave gold embossing powder!
Next I trimmed the sentiments into strips, and grabbed the watercolor panels. I hit them with a heat gun to finish drying, then added full sheets of foam adhesive to the back of them. I actually create my own full sheets of these foam adhesives just by cutting down sheets of white fun foam to 3.75x5, then covering each side in 2.5 inch Scor Tape. I've found this to be the most cost effective way to be able to apply a full foam sheet to the back of my cards, avoiding any weird warping or dents in my card fronts. Then I wrapped the sentiment strips around each watercolor panel, then mounted each one to the front of a white A2 card base.
To finish, I accented them with my signature iridescent jewels. You could switch these out for sequins or flat backed gems, or leave them off if bling isn't your thing.
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from the blog comment section. They will choose the winners and post on the Simon Says Stamp store blog on Wednesday. Winners can email SSS to claim their prize.
Wow....what a lineup that is! I know I am excited to grab a cup of coffee and see what everyone else created!
Finally, if you'd like to see even MORE inspiration from this release, check out the You Are Loved Collection Gallery. And be sure to link up YOUR creations too!

Goodbye Staten Island, hello New Milford
Forced from homes by Superstorm Sandy, New Yorkers grateful for aid in New Milford
NEW MILFORD -- Scott and Kelly Ackermann have been in town less than a week.
But they've decided they're staying.
"It's wonderful here," Scott said Tuesday. "It's very, very beautiful. The people are great. The air is clean."
The Ackermanns are Staten Islanders. In October, Hurricane Sandy took everything they had. Scott had to swim to safety to escape.
"Our house was red-tagged," Kelly said. In other words, condemned.
But now, they're settling into a little community of New Yorkers -- from Staten Island and Breezy Point in Queens -- in 15 mobile homes in a lot next to Faith Church on Route 7.
"It's a shock," Scott said. "We know the people in Unit P."
Like the others in the mobile homes, they're learning the lay of the new land they live in -- where the town centers are, where the restaurants are, where the schools are.
The Ackermanns now have a donated car. What they need right now are jobs.
"I do construction," Scott said. "I'll do something local. If I can't find anything, I'll drive down to White Plains. I'll work at Home Depot. I'll do anything."
Guillermo Hernandez is in the same place in every way. He and his family lost everything in Sandy. He kept his 5-year-old daughter, Vanessa, safe by standing in Sandy's waters for 13 hours, holding her above the floodwaters.
He now has one of the mobile homes to stay in. He and his family -- Vanessa, Guillermo's wife Luz, his 13-year-old son Santiago -- have a roof over their heads. His children are in the Faith Church school. He has a donated car.
He now needs a job.
"I'm a handyman," he said. "And I managed parking garages. There aren't many of those here."
The community is the work of the church and the Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Foundation.
John Hodge -- New Fairfield's first selectman, a church member and coordinator of the foundation -- said that of the 15 units, 12 are now occupied. Two will be filled within the week and the last one is all but set, he said.
Hodge said there is room to add five more units, if everyone agrees.
"I've had thousands of applications," he said.
People and institutions have been remarkably generous in helping the community get established. Hodge said, for example, that Ikea has donated furniture and Sleepy's, the bedding for the units. Functioning TVs sent to the electronic recycling scrap heap were rescued and reused.
When the need for sofas came up, Ridgefield Responds, which was created in 2005 to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, came through.
Ridgefield Selectman Di Masters said the town had collected money to help the town of Pass Christian, Miss. The town leaders there freed up the fund to Sandy victims, and it sent $4,788 to buy the couches.
"We were able to do it right then and there," Masters said. "I was able to tell Pass Christian, `with your generosity, we have a perfect fit.' "
What is needed now, Hodge said, are cash donations and food. If the community can feed the Sandy refugees, Hodge said, they can use their salaries to help themselves recover.
They need three more donated cars. And they need jobs. Anyone who can help with these things is asked to call Hodge at 203-312-5600.
With them. Hodge said, the transplanted New Yorkers can get re-established and the church and Tunnel To Towers can meet its goal of disassembling the community by year's end.
"Anyone who moves here has to complete a plan by July 2013 that outlines their exit strategy," Hodge said.
Mary Ann Daino isn't quite there yet -- she'd just moved into the community Tuesday morning with her five cats.
Daino, 61, blessed her cats and walked out into the flood of Sandy. The waters swept her away and she survived by grabbing onto a tree.
"I was about to grab onto another branch when I heard a voice shouting `Don't move,' " Daino said. "I thought it was the voice of God."
It turned out to be a neighbor, warning her away from a live utility wire -- if she had grabbed it, she might have been electrocuted. The neighbor then threw her a lifeline in the form of an extension cord, and pulled her to safety.
When she was able to get back to her home, all her cats were alive.
"They were sitting on the bed," Daino said. "The bed must have rose and fell with the water."
Tuesday, Daino was getting organized, setting up her home, creating an office out of a bedroom. She's a seamstress. She wants to take classes to get more proficiency on a computer.
She doesn't think she'll move back to Staten Island. Will she stay in New Milford?
"Ask me in three months," she said. "Right now, I'm in heaven."

Welcome to the Handbook of Texas — your source for Texas History
Handbook of Texas Women
The Handbook of Texas Women project strives to expand on the Handbook of Texas by promoting a more inclusive and comprehensive history of Texas. Texas women make Texas history, and TSHA wants to significantly recognize the various ways women have shaped the state's history at home, across the state, nationally, and abroad. The impacts of women on Texas history are often overlooked, and as more and more people are accessing information using smartphones, tablets, and other mobile technologies, this project will seize upon the unprecedented opportunities of the digital age in order to reshape how Texas women's history will be understood, preserved, and disseminated in the twenty-first century.
The Handbook of Texas Women project is a statewide educational and content development campaign focused on Texas Women's History by the TSHA for the Handbook of Texas. TSHA is establishing this project to capitalize on the unprecedented opportunities of the information age by updating existing Handbook of Texas entries on Texas women while adding new scholarship, all compiled and accessible for free through our digital portal.
This project is of such importance that it will be led by Dr. Jessica Brannon-Wranosky of Texas A&M University-Commerce, an Executive Advisory Committee, and Managing Editor of the Handbook of Texas, Brett Derbes. The TSHA will ensure that Texas history scholarship is supported, promoted, and disseminated at the highest levels. Through this emphasis on sound scholarship, the Association can provide authoritative and trustworthy information for anyone seeking to learn more about Texas.

GNU vmslib - News
posted by chrisbryant_ucla, Tue 05 Oct 2010 05:05:06 PM UTC - 0 replies
I'll be hitting the OpenVMS mailing lists soon to recruit GNU coders to help push a major release of vmslib out. It's been noted a goal for a while, but I think enough good ideas have been sent in over the year to try and accomplish at least one release (v1.0) under GPL v3. Perhaps the project will sleep after that, but why not update it first?

Bounded Languages … Unbounded
Politics of identity are central to language change. Here, linguistic boundaries rise and fall, motivating the ephemeral characteristics of language communities. The Mediterranean and European region is one replete with histories, with power struggles, uniquely demarcating nation, ethnicity, and community. For this, cultural and political identities, language ideologies, as well as the languages themselves, have sought boundedness, dynamics of which have indeed sought change over eons, through demographic movements, through geopolitics, through technological innovation. In a current era of technological advancement, transnational fluidity, intellectual power, capitalism, and new sexualities, then, we question, once again, the boundedness of language and identity, and ways in which to unbound languages and ideologies. More than before, we now increasingly pursue anthropological toil, so to innovate ways to locate these ideologies and their fluid boundaries, actively. We now need to increasingly unbind these languages, and their ideologies, so to arrive at progressive realizations, and to rectify, or at least see and move past, the segregations of old.
The COMELA 2020 theme, "Bounded languages… Unbounded", encapsulates the ongoing struggle throughout Mediterranean and European regions. As the continuous tension between demarcation, and the concurrent legitimization, of languages, language ideologies, and language identities, enters an era where new modes of interactivity require language communities to take on roles super-ordinate to the past, flexible citizenship now operates within, and not only across, language communities, to unbind languages, and to create new boundaries, unlike those ever seen throughout history.
The COMELA 2020 invites work which addresses the shifting boundedness of Language Communities of the Mediterranean and Europe. Papers and posters should acknowledge and describe processes of language shape, change, and ideology, pertinent to social, cultural, political histories, and futures of Mediterranean and European regions, and by those working in Mediterranean and European regions.
Abstract and poster proposals should address one or more of the key strands related to Mediterranean and European countries and regions:
- Anthropological Linguistics

The Copenhagen protesters urinated on their own carpet this time. How so? Let's go back to Seattle and before.
When the anti-globalization people began to get violent some years ago, I had to ask, "What are these people up to?" Other people had to ask the same thing: What do the protesters want? Do they want to make trouble? If you're out there getting arrested, you generally have some purpose, some point you want to make. The protesters that caused so much trouble in Seattle and numerous other international summits seemed motivated by the opportunity to destroy things in public. They're against multi-national corporations. They're against governments that support multi-national corporations. You can't actually tell what they're for.
You couldn't take these people seriously, until you saw the damage they caused in cities that weren't ready for them. They came prepared for violence. The connection with angry uprisings in the 1960s came to mind, of course, but who could tell whether those revolutionary protests inspired these? Who do these protesters emulate? Che Guevara? The Weathermen? Abbie Hoffman? Do the new revolutionaries come to us like the spirit of Vietnam, the solidarity of shared anger lending a sense of belonging and purpose?
No doubt, the movement has sustained itself for years now – energizing lots of followers, but not communicating anything concrete about what they'd like to see happen. They're like the nihilists in The Big Lebowski: scary and ridiculous, violent and without purpose. The Coen brothers make fun of them, but they're not so much fun when you meet them face to face. That threatening pose isn't unintentional.
The media call them anti-globalization protesters. I started calling them globalization nuts for short. How can a person in this century be against globalization? I can't even begin to grasp what that might mean. Are you against travel? Are you against reading and writing? Are you opposed to computer networks? Do you hate international trade? All of these things promote globalization. No, the protesters would say, we're against United Fruit and their oppression of poor working people. We're against all the blood-sucking corporations who take money from the little guy, so polluting fat cats can live in obscene luxury. You say we don't have an agenda? That's an agenda for you. Stop the oppression.
I guess I don't see a strong connection between throwing bricks through plate glass windows at summit meetings and helping poor workers achieve a better life. If it worked in the sixties, they think, it should work now. We'll descend on any city where world leaders gather, and we'll make sure those leaders know we're here. We don't mess around. You can deploy your troops with riot gear, batons, water cannons and tear gas: we're going to fuck you over good. You better believe it. We're going to come at you with our clown costumes, our face paint, our black hoods and our bags full of bricks. We're going to fight you and make you fight us.
When I heard that the Copenhagen police were preparing for violent protests at the just completed climate summit, I thought that was interesting news. Why would violent protesters come to this meeting, of all summits? The Copenhagen summit's entire agenda focused on a favored set of issues: stop global warming, stop unsustainable use of non-renewable resources, stop powerful corporations from ruining the planet. You couldn't ask for aims more congenial to the anti-globalization crowd. Live on a small scale. Consume conscientiously. Save our planet from the catastrophic effects of modern life.
They came anyway, and cheerleading isn't their thing. Some came not to support the earnest leaders who met to negotiate agreements that advance the protesters' dearest aims for international cooperation. The threatening carnival built and tension waxed until the summit's second to last day. Then protesters deployed their conventional tactics and violence erupted. The police were ready, as they have been everywhere since the debacle in Seattle. Whatever else you say, the protesters proved they can carry their violence anywhere, anytime, no matter the forces arrayed against them. What's the point?
Nihilists would say the same thing: what's the point? We're here to fight authority, no matter who it is or what they want. We want to overturn the system – that's the point. No matter that the delegates to the United Nations summit on global climate change wanted to overturn the system, too. The protesters have their standard operating procedures. They bring their drums, their placards and their face paint to every city. They know what to do when they get there. No one else truly understands why they come, but they know what to do: destroy things. Destroy as much as you can before you get arrested. We are the vandals of the twenty-first century, organized crime in clown suits.
Copenhagen was their party. The anti-globalization people had arrived, not a little ironically in one of the biggest global gatherings ever. The U. N.'s aims in Copenhagen were their aims. After destroying so much to make a point, they had a chance to build legitimate support for their movement. This was their party.
These protesters are sheep in wolves' clothing, though. They've learned their tactics well, and they're going to follow the group. The people who tried to break through the police lines in Copenhagen must have had a great sense of solidarity, the sense of closeness that helps soldiers in battle. They think they understand the purpose of their fight, but no one else does. How could anyone else understand? The protesters came to a party organized to help them out and they tried to crash it. When they couldn't crash it they became more threatening and obnoxious. Then they urinated on the floor before they left.
