antibody(redirected from P-K antibodies)
Also found in: Thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia.
When bacteria enter a flesh wound, a B cell releases antibodies, which attach to the bacteria and direct them toward a macrophage for destruction.
n. pl. an·ti·bod·ies
Any of numerous Y-shaped glycoproteins that bind to specific antigens and either neutralize them or cause them to be destroyed by other elements of the immune system, such as phagocytes, cytotoxic cells, or complement proteins. Antibodies occur as antigen receptors on the surface of B cells and are secreted as soluble proteins when the B cells mature into plasma cells. Antibodies are also called "immunoglobulins."
[Translation of German Antikörper : anti-, antagonistic (from Latin anti-, anti-) + Körper, body.]
n, pl -bodies
(Biochemistry) any of various proteins produced in the blood in response to the presence of an antigen. By becoming attached to antigens on infectious organisms antibodies can render them harmless or cause them to be destroyed. See also immunoglobulin
an•ti•bod•y(ˈæn tɪˌbɒd i)
n., pl. -bod•ies.
1. any of numerous protein molecules produced by B cells as a primary immune defense, each kind having a uniquely shaped site that combines with a foreign antigen, as of a virus or bacterium, and disables it.
2. antibodies of a particular type collectively. Also called immunoglobulin.
[1895–1900; translation of German Antikörper]
A protein produced in the blood or tissues in response to the presence of a specific foreign antigen. Antibodies provide immunity against certain microorganisms and toxins by binding with them and often by deactivating them. Also called immunoglobulin.
Did You Know? Antibodies are complex, Y-shaped protein molecules that guard our bodies against diseases. The immune system's B lymphocytes, or B cells, develop into plasma cells, which can produce a huge variety of antibodies, each one capable of grabbing an invading molecule at the top ends of the Y. The molecules that antibodies recognize can be quite specific—they might exist only on a particular bacterium or virus. When that bacterium or virus enters the body, the antibodies quickly recognize its molecules, as if a sentry recognized an enemy soldier from his uniform. Once the invader is caught, the antibodies may make it inactive or lead it to cells that can destroy it. High numbers of a particular antibody may persist for months after an invasion. The numbers may then get quite small, but the experienced B cells can quickly make more of that specific antibody if necessary. Vaccines work by training B cells to do just that.
A protein released by blood cells to destroy invading foreign organisms or substances.

Bank of China, one of the biggest state-owned banks in China, will start operating a branch in the Czech Republic by the end of this year, Wenbo Hou, the head of the bank´s preparatory committee, told journalists at the branch´s ceremonial opening at the Prague Castle on Monday. The bank's Czech branch will focus on the financing of large, medium-sized and small companies, provide cross-border services to these companies, including business recommendations, financial support, prevention of risks and consulting.
A group of NGOs have urged Czech politicians not to ignore human rights abuses by authoritarian regimes when travelling to countries where people are threatened with torture, imprisonment or even death over their beliefs. An appeal signed by 30 NGOs sums up the basic principles Czech officials should take into account while on foreign trips to dictatorial countries, including meetings with dissidents and independent journalists as well as caution in making public statements that can be abused by the local propaganda machine. The appeal was signed by People in Need, Forum 2000, the Czech Helsinki Committee, Prague Pride and the Organization for Aid to Refugees.
Czech President Miloš Zeman will hold talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his forthcoming visit to China, his spokesman Jiří Ovčáček said on Monday. The talks are to be held following a military parade and a reception that Chinese President Xi Jinping will host for foreign participants attending the celebrations of the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II in the Pacific. He said meetings with Zeman´s Chinese counterpart and other politicians are also planned.
Finance Minister Andrej Babiš has criticized the European Commission for what he called its slow response to the migrant crisis and expressed the view that the situation now merits an emergency meeting of EU leaders. Mr. Babiš said it was vital to protect the Schengen border free zone effectively and to start differentiating between refugees and economic migrants in search of a better life. He stressed that it was high time to agree on a systemic solution across the EU and to start implementing it. The Czech Republic is one of the EU states which rejected the idea of migrant quotas, although the government has promised to take in 1500 refugees in the course of the next two years.
President Milos Zeman has said that unless the EU takes more effective steps to secure its borders against the growing influx of migrants, the Czech Republic should take unilateral action in this respect. At a press briefing in Prague the president said that he expected the migrant wave to escalate due to the continuing turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East and predicted a tsunami effect since families and relatives would join those who had already been granted asylum in Europe. Mr. Zeman has previously stressed that Europe should not accommodate economic migrants. Mr. Zeman also took a swipe at the academics who signed a petition against xenophobia, saying they should take a migrant family into their own home before preaching to the public.
The prime ministers of the Višegrad Group countries, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, will meet in the coming days to discuss the migration crisis in Europe, the ctk news agency reports. The Višegrad Four are increasingly concerned about the flow of migrants via the so-called west Balkans route. The Czech Republic has repeatedly called for joint EU action in protecting its outer borders and has offered countries along the Balkans route technical and material assistance to better secure their borders. Slovakia now fears that due to tightened checks along the Austrian border people smugglers will attempt to transport more refugees across Slovak territory.
The Liberec branch of the ruling Christian Democrats will meet later this week to decide on the possible expulsion from the party of one of its members, Daniela Kalenda, who welcomed the deaths of the 71 refugees found in a van in Austria. In an entry on Facebook Kalenda spoke about the refugees as "dirt" that does not belong in Europe saying that they should have known better than to get into an enclosed van in the first place. Hours later he deleted the entry saying he had been heavily drunk when he posted it.
Kevin Dahlgren a 21-year-old U.S. citizen wanted for the murder of four of his Czech relatives in Brno has been extradited to the Czech Republic to face murder charges. According to the Czech Justice Ministry Dahlgren arrived at Prague's international Airport on Monday and a court will now rule on whether he will be placed in custody. Dahlgren is suspected of stabbing to death four Czech relatives with whom he was staying at the time. He fled the country just hours before the crime was uncovered. The United States is known to only extradite its citizens for prosecution abroad in exceptional cases. This is the first case ever in which a U.S. citizen has been extradited to the Czech Republic. If he is convicted he could face a life sentence.
A Prague court has passed a guilty verdict on a man who expressed approval of the suicide bomb attack that killed five Czech soldiers serving in NATO's ISAF mission in eastern in Afghanistan in July of last year. The man, who praised the terrorist for "doing away with at least a few Czech mercenaries" on Facebook received a year long suspended sentence for publicly supporting a crime, inciting violence towards a group and insulting the memory of Czech soldiers who died in action on a foreign mission. Neither side has appealed the verdict.
Prague taxi drivers have announced a planned blockade of streets in the city centre on Tuesday. The precise route of the protest has not been disclosed. They are protesting against Prague City Hall's plans to tighten regulations governing the service in the wake of numerous complaints from the public and tourists. According to City Halls plans all taxi drivers in Prague should gradually undergo tough new street knowledge and language tests. Prague City Hall has announced that it will boost public transport on the day of the protest.

On the Windows platform, SQL Server can serve most any need for storing relational data. SQL Server is a top quality DBMS system and offers just about everything developers could want: CRUD services, transactionality, concurrency, programmability, and a large ecosystem of tools. As an enterprise-level application, SQL Server runs as a service. When run as a separate application, SQL Server may live on a physically distant machine and require a connection and data exchange. While this extra layer of complexity is acceptable, and often required, in enterprise applications, it sometimes proves to be too much for simpler scenarios such as storing relational data on mobile devices.
Mobile devices, however, are currently the most popular scenario where developers feel the need for something simpler and more manageable than a full installation of SQL Server. As a trainer and consultant, I often build quick prototypes of applications that need to read and write to a database. When I pass my code to students or customers, it would be much easier to just offer a database file. This is not something that can happen with the complex, service-based nature of SQL Server.
For years, Microsoft Access was used as a relational database for simple applications. However, Access was never designed to serve as a database engine outside single-user, local applications. When deployed as the data store of a Web application, it shows serious performance issues, the most dramatic of which is the bottleneck in writing. To offer something simpler than the full SQL Server, Microsoft introduced SQL Server Express. That product fixed all the issues of Access, and can definitely be used as the back-end engine in simple and low-volume applications. But one big issue remained SQL Server Express doesn't support x-copy deployment well which is precisely what made Access a common choice. In simple applications, often all that you want is the ability to copy a database on a server, and continue without having to deal with configuration.
Microsoft has now released SQL Server Compact Edition 4.0 (SQLCE), and this is the definitive response to the demand for having a simple and lightweight database for developers who need to do simple things. SQLCE supports databases as files. Both the SQLCE runtime and database files can be packaged and deployed with applications without relying on a database administrator. Compatible with .NET 3.5 and later, the runtime of SQLCE is in-process, multithreading, and multiuser. More importantly, it starts up with the hosting application, whether ASP.NET or Windows.
SQLCE database files are characterized by the SDF file extension and must be created and managed entirely in code. In other words, there's no console application (such as SQL Server Management Studio) to help you organize multiple tables, indexes, and stored procedures. You do most of this work specifically design, editing, and running queries from the user interface of Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. SQLCE is the default database for WebMatrix and it works in medium- or partial-trust environments, which makes it a good fit for simple and/or mobile scenarios.
As far as programming is concerned, SQLCE offers a T-SQL syntax. Although this is inferior to full SQL Server, it is powerful enough to cover some of the most-advanced common scenarios. For example, SQLCE supports paging queries and offers an API to retrieve metadata information out of the database. In addition, when used with Entity Framework, SQLCE supports server-generated columns (such as identity columns) and GUID rows. Finally, the database files can be encrypted using the SHA2 encryption algorithm. SQLCE has a query syntax and internal model of the database files similar to SQL Server, which makes moving from a solution based on SQLCE to one based on full SQL Server a smooth transition.
You can code against a SQLCE database using either low-level ADO.NET commands or the increasingly popular code-first approach. Code-first means that you create a set of entities and relationships as plain C# classes and then use a mix of conventions and code to map these classes to SQLCE database tables.
The latest version of SQLCE (version 4.0) is not compatible with Windows Phone. This simply means that you can't leverage the SQLCE engine and design tools of Visual Studio, but reading and writing relational data from within a Windows Phone application is still possible. Windows Phone 7.5 supports a LINQ-to-SQL API that can create a SQLCE database file in the isolated storage of the device and operate on it.
Overall, the best approach for mobile developers is not so different from what you do when using SQLCE, say, in a WebMatrix application. You create plain C# classes and use an attribute to mark them as tables and their properties as columns. Next, based on the information in the connection string, you create a new database programmatically or read an existing one which can be an existing SDF file created with SQLCE in another application. Finally, you use LINQ-to-SQL to prepare queries, and the data context object to arrange writes and deletions.
In the end, even though the SQLCE runtime is not supported in Windows Phone, learning how to code against SQLCE database files will help when you do Windows Phone database development. In Windows Phone, while you can't rely on the SQLCE engine, you do have an API to read and write SQLCE files.
SQLCE is the real deal the lightweight DBMS system that developers have been waiting for ever since the limitations of Access first became clear. As such, SQLCE may finally sound the death knell for the popular Microsoft Access.

They may not be ready to kiss kiss and make up, but Rihanna's indicating that she's ready to ease the tension in her relationship with ex, Chris Brown.
The 22-year-old pop songstress has directed her attorney to reduce the restraining order keeping him away from her, reports E! Online.
According to the new agreement, the order is being reduced to a level one, which means that the two can have contact as long as Brown does not "annoy, molest or harass" Rihanna.
U.S. & World
Brown's attorney has been informed of the deal, but has yet to file the paperwork acknowledging the changes, reports US magazine.
Rihanna and Brown, 21, had one of the more infamous breakups in recent memory following his Grammy-night attack on her in 2009. Brown was eventually charged with felony assault and making criminal threats. He accepted a plea agreement that involved community labor, domestic violence counseling and five year's probation. He largely removed himself from the public eye in the wake of the scandal, only to resurface with an emotional performance at the 2010 BET Awards.
There was a possibility that the two singers could have faced each other at the upcoming Grammy Awards, but Brown - who is nominated for three awards - will not attend due to a prior commitment. Rihanna is set to perform at the ceremony and has been nominated for several awards, including record and song of the year for "Love the Way You Lie," her collaboration with Eminem.

Seattle's Charlie Frye meets Browns' Derek Anderson -- again.
Charlie Frye returns Sunday. Derek Anderson is getting schmoozed by "Mooch" on TV nation. Who knew the Seattle-at-Cleveland quarterback story would play out like this? Fifty-three days after starting for the Browns against Pittsburgh, Frye enters his seventh game as a Seattle backup. Fifty-one days after Frye was traded, Anderson has won four of six starts and ranks sixth in the NFL with a 95.5 passer rating. Steve Mariucci went a little crazy over Frye's replacement on NFL Network. "All of sudden," the former 49ers and Lions head coach said this week, "this guy named Anderson from Oregon State has the second-most touchdown passes in the NFL. They need to keep Derek Anderson, sign him long term and have two good young quarterbacks." What happens with Round 1 pick Brady Quinn if Anderson stays on the rise? "An interesting dilemma," Seattle head coach Mike Holmgren said. Did Anderson ever stop to think that it could have been him traded to Seattle? "Could," Anderson said. "Didn't." Frye declined a conference-call invitation with media covering the Browns. Anderson touched on some key points before Wednesday's practice. Issue: Frye started three preseason games and the season opener, giving him a serious look at Offensive Coordinator Rob Chudzinski's playbook. Now, he's telling the Seahawks all about it. Anderson: I'm sure there are some things he can help them out with, but we've evolved a little bit since he's been gone. We've changed a few things. They don't know what play is coming. Issue: Anderson was sacked six times in three road games. The Browns are back home, where he has been sacked just twice in four games. Frye was sacked five times in two quarters with the Browns before the trade. Anderson: The protection has been good. We've been able top give things a little longer look than probably we have in the past. Issue: Anderson will operate against a Seattle defense that has 23 sacks, more than three times as many as Cleveland's defense has mustered. Anderson: I've got to be smart, get the ball of out my hands ... know they're coming. Their front four gets a lot better push than the teams we've played. Issue: Anderson grew up in Scappoose, Ore., near Portland, on the outskirts of Seattle Seahawks country. Anderson: I wasn't a huge football fan when I was little. I watched the Seahawks a little bit. My dad had a Steve Largent poster or something. I actually had a Bengals helmet when I was little. I don't know how I got it. Issue: Anderson threw five interceptions during his first four games and three at New England. In two games since, he hasn't thrown a pick. Anderson: It's making good decisions, and guys are making plays ... letting things kind of come to me. Issue: With 17 touchdown passes, Anderson has four more than the Colts' Peyton Manning. Anderson: We don't have as many wins as they do, so it doesn't mean anything. Issue: Joe Jurevicius trails only Derrick Mason and Antonio Gates in third-down catches with 15. Anderson: Joe made some huge plays for us. Teams understand we're not just gonna throw it to Braylon (Edwards) and Kellen (Winslow) every play. That makes them defend on top.

The unemployed, drug-addled daughter of real-estate mogul Peter Kalikow was arrested for dealing heroin in The Bronx with her boyfriend, according to a criminal complaint.
Kathryn Kalikow, 27, and junkie boyfriend Brian Whalen, 28, went to make the sale in Fordham Sunday night after arranging it on Craigslist — and were busted because their buyer was an undercover police officer conducting a sting, according to court records.
The arrest sent her father, Peter Kalikow — a former MTA Chairman who is worth nearly $500 million — reeling.
"Mary and I are very concerned and all we are concentrating on now is helping our daughter," Peter Kalikow said in a statement, referring to his wife.
The young couple — who met while attending Vassar College — allegedly offered drugs in a Craigslist ad that caught the attention of the undercover officer.
"High quality diesel pain relief available. Discreet & professional. No games; will only reply to likeminded individuals. Email name and number for response. Stamps, diesel, H train, dope, bundles, tickets, dog food," the ad read, using coded words for heroin, according to the complaint.
Kathryn Kalikow and Whalen arrived at the meeting point in a blue Volkswagen and entered a restaurant before returning to the car, according to court records.
Whalen texted the undercover client that they were ready to make the pre-arranged $440 sale, according to the complaint.
When confronted by cops, Whalen said he didn't have anything on him. Kalikow copped to holding the heroin when confronted by a second officer.
"Yes I have drugs. He's my boyfriend, I was holding on to it for him," she said, according to court records.
She handed him three plastic sacks stuffed with 10 small plastic bags of heroin each, according to the court papers.
Both Kalikow — whose father once owned The Post — and Whalen admitted to having drug addictions, prosecutors said.
"It was my idea to go on Craigslist and post the ad. I need treatment. I am a heroin addict, and to afford the drug I agreed to sell some . . . on consignment for the person I buy from," Whalen told cops, according to court records.
Kathryn Kalikow appeared dazed and disheveled at her arraignment in Bronx Criminal Court yesterday.
"I have a problem," she told cops, prosecutors said. "I need help."
She and Whalen were each charged with felony drug possession with intent to sell and were released on their own recognizance. Their attorneys said they would enter treatment programs.
"This family has been dedicated to this city," Kathryn Kalikow's lawyer, Stacy Richman, said arguing for her release.

Agricultural supply chains are complex systems which pose significant challenges beyond those of traditional supply chains. These challenges include: long lead times, stochastic yields, short shelf lives and a highly distributed supply base. This complexity makes coordination critical to prevent food waste and other inefficiencies. Yet, supply chains of fresh produce suffer from high levels of food waste; moreover, their high fragmentation places a great economic burden on small and medium sized farms. This research develops planning tools tailored to the production/consolidation level in the supply chain, taking the perspective of an agricultural cooperative—a business model which presents unique coordination …

The picture of the teams who will appear in the 2016 Maserati GranTurismo MC is taking shape. For the past six seasons, the cars have turned out in the Maserati Trofeo, a series that ended at Abu Dhabi (UAE) last December.
The vehicles have now been purchased by private drivers and teams before being modified to bring them in line with GT4 regulations. The main stages on which the cars will appear next season include the Pirelli World Challenge (PWC), in North America, the Competition102 GT4 European Series, the Euroseries by Nova Race as well as national GT championships.
The first date on the calendar is 28/29 February at the Paul Ricard – Le Castellet circuit, France. The two-day session is organised by SRO, the official promoter, and will see the Balance of Performance (BoP) take place to define the GT4 cars' technical spec for the upcoming season.
The Squadre Clienti Maserati that will definitely appear in Europe, mainly in the Competition102 GT4 European Series, are Villorba Corse and Swiss Team. Scuderia Giudici is still deciding which series to enter while English outfit Ebor GT will compete in the British GT. Alongside these teams will be other, private, drivers who purchased a car and will line up for the occasional GT4 event, in one or more series.
Maserati will ensure technical support and trackside spares, both in Europe and the USA. This will give the teams the chance to compete on a level playing field.
The GranTurismo MC GT4 itself is pretty much unchanged compared to the Trofeo version: a 4.700cc V8 engine, an electro-actuated transmission featuring paddle-shift commands, and a dry weight of 1410 kg. The main modifications have been the addition of an air duct to reduce the engine's power by 35 hp, a newly-designed spoiler and a rear diffuser that has been tweaked to compromise its aerodynamic efficiency so that it conforms to GT4 rules.
The opening round in the Competition102 GT4 European Series is tabled for Monza, Italy, on 24 April. It is then onto Pau, France, on 15 May. Silverstone (Great Britain) is up next, on 12 June, for a three-hour endurance event and then comes Spa, on 10 July, for another long, two-hour event; both in combination with the British GT Championship. Once the summer break is out of the way, it will be into the home straight at the Hungaroring (Hungary), on 25 September, and Zandvoort (Netherlands) on 9 October.
Before Pau, another Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4 is on track at Rockingham, England, in the British GT Championship. The number 60 car will be driven for Ebor GT Motorsport by Marcus Hoggarth and Abbie Eaton. In Round 1, at Brands Hatch, the British duo came home eighth in the GT4 category. The drivers and car showed their potential but a pit stop glitch and early finish (a red flag was brought out) influenced the outcome.
The American PWC series is an intense one. Things get underway on 6 March at Austin (Texas) with the second round held just seven days later at St Petersburg (Florida). It is then onto Barber Motorsport Park (Alabama) on 24 April. On 22 May it will be the turn of the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park (Ontario, Canada) to stage an event. The circus will then move on to Lime Rock Park (Connecticut), on 29 May, Road America (Wisconsin), on 26 June, and the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (Ohio), on 30 July. 12 August will see the cars turn out at Utah Motorsports Campus (Utah), before the 18 September meet at Sonoma (California) and the grand finale at Laguna Seca's Mazda Raceway (California) on 9 October. The Maserati GranTurismo MCs that will race in the GTS class will be fielded by different teams: JCR Motorsports, KPR Racing, RT Motorsports and Three Points Racing. XSpeed will announce his programs.
The Ebor GT team stepped onto the podium for the first time this season in the British GT Championship with their Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4. The crew, Marcus Hoggarth and Abbie Eaton, achieved second place in the GT4 class race 2 (fourteenth overall) in the third round of the championship held on the Oulton Park circuit over the weekend of May 28th.
This result is proof of the progress the team has made and bodes well for forthcoming events such as the next round at Silverstone scheduled for June 11th.
"Honestly, at one point I even started to toy with the idea of actually winning", said Hoggarth, "but, unfortunately, the red flag which marked an early end to the race stopped us from doing more. In any case we are working well and on the right tracks. The Oulton Park circuit is twisty with short straights but we managed to find the right set up. We've learned something new and look forward to even better results in the next round."
The Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4 was up with the best in the second round of the British GT Championship. The Ebor GT team drivers Marcus Hoggarth and Abbie Eaton secured an awesome fourth place in the GT4 category, finishing fifteenth overall in the second round of the British championship season which took place at the Rockingham Motor Speedway on Sunday May 1st.
"Finishing up there with the champions in the second round is surely a good result," proudly commented Ebor GT team manager Adrian Snook. "We are still working on the best settings for the car and every time we go out on the track we learn something new and improve our performance.
It's definitely a great experience to compete with teams, cars and drivers who have much greater experience than we have." The British GT continues on 28th May at Oulton Park.
The Squadre Clienti Maserati had a fantastic showing at Monza on 23-24 April. The GranTurismo MC GT4s picked up two wins in the 2016 Competition102 GT4 European Series.
In Round 1, the scuderia Villorba Corse secured its debut win courtesy of the Anselmi/Sernagiotto crew before 2015 Maserati Trofeo World Series champion Romain Monti, from France, took race 2. In taking the title Monti also earned the chance to compete in a European championship race with Maserati staff providing back up.
The second 2016 event in the European calendar is Pau, France, on 14-15 May. The stage see Villorba Corse and Swiss Team cars competing, along with the drivers who have opted to link up with Maserati.
Maserati claimed both races at Monza in Round 1 of the Competition102 GT4 European Series. It was a fine achievement for the Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4s as they made their debut in this European Series in the best way possible. Race 1, held on Saturday afternoon, saw the Luca Anselmi-Giorgio Sernagiotto crew from Villorba Corse take the win. On Sunday, victory went to Romain Monti.
It turned out to be a fantastic weekend for the team from Veneto: they also celebrated Patrick Zamparini-Alessandro Fogliani's win in the AM category (fifth overall), the third spot claimed by Piotr Chodzen and the twelfth place secured by his son, Antoni, in Saturday's event.
Romain Monti, was able to count on the backing of the staff that oversaw the Maserati Trofeo in years gone by and, thanks to his 2015 title in the single-make series, he earned the right to drive a round in a European GT4 series. The Frenchman pocketed top spot in Race 2 as he left the pit lane following his compulsory stop; he was fourth in the early stint. Monti claimed victory even though he was overtaken by two Chevrolet Camaros because the red flag was flown two minutes from the end, freezing the positions as they were on the previous lap when the safety car was on. Race officials decided to call time on the race as one of the cars had leaked oil all over the track, making racing too risky.
In Race 2 came another encouraging result for Villorba Corse as Anselmi/Sernagiotto took eighth and the pairing of Fogliani-Zamparini again finished on the podium with third in the AM category (tenth overall).
Completing the "Squadre Clienti Maserati" line up was Swiss Team, with its crew of Giuseppe Fascicolo-Mauro Calamia, winner of the 2014 Maserati Trofeo World Series. The Italo-Swiss pair were hampered by a suspension problem, one that made qualifying tough and race results a struggle.
Another name from Maserati Trofeo history, Alessandro Iazzetti, appeared behind the wheel of a GranTurismo MC GT4. He finished in eighteenth and twelfth, respectively.
The No.99 Maserati GranTurismo MC GT4 showed strong pace out of the box at the 14-turn, 4.048 mile road course famous for its long straightaways and ultra-fast corners, resulting in the first podium for the Maserati GT4 in the PWC GTS Class.
"Somewhat bittersweet because our Maserati was great all weekend and I really wanted to bring Maserati their first PWC win, but circumstances at the start of both races put us in a position to have to fight our way back through a very tough and competitive field! And I would have liked a few more laps on Sunday to see what we had for Brett? But congratulations to Brett and the ANSA team on their win and Thanks to the JCR crew for a great effort! It was a great weekend for our team, myself and our sponsors, it was awesome to have our friends and family hanging out all weekend supporting us!" said Courtney.
The second Maserati of KPR team, driven by Mark Kleinin, paid some technical problems during the weekend: a axle shaft breakage just before the qualifying session compromised the result of race 1, while a rear toe-link breakage after a hard scuffing on a curb stopped the Maserati n°62 in race 2.
The PWC has a six-weeks break until GTS Rounds 13 and 14 which will take place at Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course in Mansfield, OH July 29-30, 2016.
The racing season of Maserati GT4 closes with a victory, as it had started in Monza last April in the GT4 European Championship. This time, the victory was likely in an endurance race, the Gulf 12 hours of Abudhabi, on the spectacular Yas Marina F1 Circuit.
The protagonist always the Maserati Customer Team Villorba Racing, already winner of two races in the European GT4 Championship 2016, which led to Abudhabi two GranTurismo MC GT4 with crews G.Fascicolo, T.Herpell, C.Mor in the car# 90 and P .Chodzen, A. Chodzen, P.Zamparini in the car #50. This last crew has monopolized the race weekend, posting the fastest time in qualifying and then allowing to start from pole position and leading the race from the first lap.
Less fortunate the crew of the car #90 which, due to a technical problem, had to serve a long pit stop, before resuming the race with a gap of several laps.
The race at Yas Marina confirms the competitiveness of the GranTurismo MC in the GT4 class, a category that sees cars technically very close to series production, with some modifications for use on the track. The GT4 is the entry class to the GT world that is attracting more and more gentlemen and young drivers who, thanks to an affordable budget, they want to compete in the fascinating world of GT cars.
In 2017, the Maserati Customer Teams will bring back on track the GranTurismo MC GT4 in major international championships like the GT4 European Championship and the US Pirelli World Challenge as well as in national GT series and international endurance races.
The next event on track will be scheduled in the first weeks of February, when all the GT4 cars will be called to the most important test of the year, the Balance of Performance, where the technical configurations of each model will be defined. The difficult task of technical scrutineers and officers is to balance the actual performance of cars featuring different concepts and technology, to ensure consistent technical basis and leave the task to the drivers to make the difference in the race.
The GranTurismo MC GT4 will benefit in 2017 from a few significant technical upgrades, in order to maintain competitiveness against increasingly fierce competition in the next season.

A Guide to the Military Operations in Texas Collection, 1862-1864
Historical Sketch
During the Civil War, the U.S. Army created the Department of the Gulf and the Army of the Gulf following the capture of New Orleans, Louisiana, by Admiral David G. Farragut in 1862. Major General Benjamin F. Butler took command of the Union occupation forces as well as the Department of the Gulf. The soldiers in the new department were then designated as the Army of the Gulf. Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks succeeded Butler on December 17, 1862. Under Banks, the army fought its first battles, including the Siege of Port Hudson, their first major battle and victory, in July 1863.
Next, the Army attempted to regain control of Texas and influence the French in Mexico, who the Union forces worried would assist the Confederate Army. Banks's plan included sending Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin's 4,000 troops on a march from Sabine Pass through Houston and finally to Galveston. Unfortunately, Franklin lost at the Battle of Sabine Pass in September 1863. However, in November, Banks gained control of Brownsville, stationed Fort Brown, and cut off cotton trade on the Rio Grande between Texas and Mexico. On November 30, 1863, the Army captured Fort Esperanza on Matagorda Island. During this time, constant supply shortages plagued the Union troops in Texas. Some provisioning problems were based on natural shortages in the South Texas location; others were due to the failure of the U.S. Army to send adequate supplies; and still others were because of the weather, which prevented ships from landing along the coast. The political and military situation in Mexico caused many problems as well for the Department of the Gulf during its Texas occupation. For example, in January 1864, fighting broke out in the streets of Matamoros between French sympathizers and those forces loyal to Juarez. The city's U.S. Consul, Leonard Pierce, had to be escorted by the Army of the Gulf from the consulate into Texas. Unfortunately, Banks's superiors insisted upon launching the Red River Campaign, an offensive into Louisiana and Alabama intended to capture Mobile. In the spring of 1864, several thousand soldiers were sent to Louisiana from Texas, allowing the Confederates to recapture Brownsville and reestablish trade with Mexico. Meanwhile, the Red River Campaign ended disastrously due to poor planning. Banks was removed from command, and Maj. Gen. Stephen A. Hulbut became commander in September 1864. The Army split to fight in both the Shenandoah Valley and the Battle of Mobile Bay.
After the war ended, Banks returned to command of the Army of the Gulf from April to June 1865, when Maj. Gen. Edward Canby replaced him until the department disbanded on June 27, 1865.

Scope and Contents
The Military Operations in Texas Collection, 1862-1864, consists of official copies of correspondence concerning Union military operations along the Texas Gulf coast and the Texas-Mexico border. These letters are reports of various officers to the headquarters of the U.S. Army's Department of the Gulf in New Orleans, Louisiana. Furthermore, the correspondence discusses information concerning the Confederate military operations in Texas and French intervention in Mexican affairs. Several letters report in detail the November 30, 1863, capture of Fort Esperanza on Matagorda Island and information on several skirmishes, such as location, strategy, numbers killed or wounded, and the actions of specific soldiers. Many of the letters discuss the conflicts of authority between officers stationed at Fort Brown in Brownsville, the murder of Union Captain William Montgomery by men reported to be "rebels," and subsequent attempts to extradite one of the accused. The reports describe constant supply shortages due to the nature of the region, ineptitude of the U.S. Army, or preventions by the weather. Additionally, the documents relate to the political and military situation in Mexico as well as the ships in the service of the federal troops, including supply ships and gunboats, used in the fight on Matagorda and other Gulf Coast islands.

A consultant charged by city officials with exploring ways of keeping Baltimore's Edgar Allan Poe House & Museum open and making it self-sufficient is recommending that it be operated in partnership with the nearby B&O Railroad Museum.
Under the proposal, visitors would pay admission and board vans at the B&O Museum, then be driven the half-mile to the Poe House, which they would tour in groups of 12 to 15. Part of the B&O Museum's gift shop would be dedicated to Poe-related merchandise.
"The concept has merit," said Courtney B. Wilson, executive director of the B&O Museum, who stressed that details remain to be ironed out. "Certainly, it's in the B&O Railroad Museum's best interests to see the Poe House succeed. We have wide-open ears."
The plan also calls for the establishment of Poe Baltimore, a nonprofit group to run the Poe House and promote Poe's legacy. A brief outline of the plan, put together by Mount Rainier-based Cultural Resources Management Group, was presented Tuesday to the city's Commission for Historical and Architectural Preservation.
The city, which owns and operates the Poe House, cut its annual $85,000 funding in 2010, citing budget constraints. It has remained open thanks to private donations and money raised through such events as the 2009-2010 Poe Bicentennial celebration.
The consultants estimated the proposal's cost at $140,000 for the first 18 months. Absent city funding, they said, money could be raised through sponsors, foundations and individual donations, and through merchandise sales and event income.
The yearlong Poe Bicentennial celebration, one of the most popular events in the museum's history, brought in about $15,000 before expenses, curator Jeff Jerome said. The house attracts 3,000 visitors a year.
Poe, an early master of the horror genre and one of the most important American literary figures of the 19th century, lived in the West Baltimore rowhouse for about three years, before leaving in 1835 at age 26 to move to Richmond, Va. He returned to Baltimore sporadically thereafter, for the final time in 1849, when he was found wandering the streets, incoherent and wearing another man's clothes. He died shortly thereafter and is buried in the Westminster Burying Ground.
Much of the plan's success, the consultants stressed, rests on more vigorous branding of Poe's name. His fame as a literary figure with strong ties to such popular genres as horror and detective fiction should be stressed, they said. People outside of Baltimore probably don't realize the city's football team takes its name from "The Raven," a Poe poem, they added.
"Outside of Baltimore, there's no association with Edgar Allan Poe," consultant Patricia E. Williams said of the NFL's Ravens. "It's simply not known beyond Baltimore."
The consultants said they didn't want to approach the Ravens for possible support until the mayor signs off on their proposal. "There has to be a green light from City Hall," consultant Thomas M. Costello said.
The plan outlined several ways of enhancing the Poe brand, including the start of an annual literary conference in his honor. The consultants also suggested that the Edgar award, handed out each year by the Mystery Writers of America, could include a visit to the Poe House by the winner.
If approved by Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, the plan could be put in motion as early as June 1, Williams said. She said the plan, including the tours, could be in place as early as January.

Prescott, Ariz.
IT hasn't been a good year for evangelicals. I should know. I'm one of them.
In 2012 we witnessed a collapse in American evangelicalism. The old religious right largely failed to affect the Republican primaries, much less the presidential election. Last month, Americans voted in favor of same-sex marriage in four states, while Florida voters rejected an amendment to restrict abortion.
Much has been said about conservative Christians and their need to retool politically. But that is a smaller story, riding on the back of a larger reality: Evangelicalism as we knew it in the 20th century is disintegrating.
In 2011 the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life polled church leaders from around the world. Evangelical ministers from the United States reported a greater loss of influence than church leaders from any other country — with some 82 percent indicating that their movement was losing ground.
I grew up hearing tales of my grandfather, a pastor, praying with President Ronald Reagan at the White House. My father, also a pastor, prayed with George W. Bush in 2000. I now minister to my own congregation, which has grown to about 500, a tenfold increase, in the last four years (by God's favor and grace, I believe). But, like most young evangelical ministers, I am less concerned with politics than with the exodus of my generation from the church.
Studies from established evangelical polling organizations — LifeWay Research, an affiliate of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Barna Group — have found that a majority of young people raised as evangelicals are quitting church, and often the faith, entirely.
As a contemporary of this generation (I'm 30), I embarked three years ago on a project to document the health of evangelical Christianity in the United States. I did this research not only as an insider, but also as a former investigative journalist for an alt weekly.
I found that the structural supports of evangelicalism are quivering as a result of ground-shaking changes in American culture. Strategies that served evangelicals well just 15 years ago are now self- destructive. The more that evangelicals attempt to correct course, the more they splinter their movement. In coming years we will see the old evangelicalism whimper and wane.
First, evangelicals, while still perceived as a majority, have become a shrinking minority in the United States. In the 1980s heyday of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, some estimates accounted evangelicals as a third or even close to half of the population, but research by the Notre Dame sociologist Christian Smith recently found that Christians who call themselves evangelicals account for just 7 percent of Americans. (Other research has reported that some 25 percent of Americans belong to evangelical denominations, though they may not, in fact, consider themselves evangelicals.) Dr. Smith's findings are derived from a three-year national study of evangelical identity and influence, financed by the Pew Research Center. They suggest that American evangelicals now number around 20 million, about the population of New York State. The global outlook is more optimistic, as evangelical congregations flourish in places like China, Brazil and sub-Saharan Africa.
But while America's population grows by roughly two million a year, attendance across evangelical churches — from the Southern Baptists to Assembles of God and nondenominational churches — has gradually declined, according to surveys of more than 200,000 congregations by the American Church Research Project.
The movement also faces a donation crisis as older evangelicals, who give a disproportionately large share, age. Unless younger evangelicals radically increase their giving, the movement will be further strained.
Evangelicals have not adapted well to rapid shifts in the culture — including, notably, the move toward support for same-sex marriage. The result is that evangelicals are increasingly typecast as angry and repressed bigots. In 2007, the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, in a survey of 1,300 college professors, found that 3 percent held "unfavorable feelings" toward Jews, 22 percent toward Muslims and 53 percent toward evangelical Christians.
To be sure, college professors are not representative of the population, and, despite national trends of decline, evangelicals have many exceptional ministries. Most metropolitan areas in the United States have at least one thriving megachurch. In New York City, Redeemer Presbyterian and the Brooklyn Tabernacle pack multiple services every weekend. A handful of other churches, like North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, Ga., and Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., see more than 20,000 worshipers each weekend. Savvy ministers like the Rev. Craig Groeschel, founder of LifeChurch.tv, are using new technologies to deliver the "good news."
The pulse of evangelicalism is also shifting, in many ways for the good, from American politics to aid for the global poor, as evidenced in books by the Rev. David Platt, the Rev. Max Lucado and the Rev. Timothy Keller. Evangelicals are still a sophisticated lot, with billions in assets, millions of adherents and a constellation of congregations, radio stations, universities and international aid groups. But all this machinery distracts from the historical vital signs of evangelicalism: to make converts and point to Jesus Christ. By those measures this former juggernaut is coasting, at best, if not stalled or in reverse.
How can evangelicalism right itself? I don't believe it can — at least, not back to the politically muscular force it was as recently as 2004, when white evangelicals gave President George W. Bush his narrow re-election. Evangelicals can, however, use the economic, social and spiritual crises facing America to refashion themselves into a more sensitive, spiritual and humble movement.
We evangelicals must accept that our beliefs are now in conflict with the mainstream culture. We cannot change ancient doctrines to adapt to the currents of the day. But we can, and must, adapt the way we hold our beliefs — with grace and humility instead of superior hostility. The core evangelical belief is that love and forgiveness are freely available to all who trust in Jesus Christ. This is the "good news" from which the evangelical name originates ("euangelion" is a Greek word meaning "glad tidings" or "good news"). Instead of offering hope, many evangelicals have claimed the role of moral gatekeeper, judge and jury. If we continue in that posture, we will continue to invite opposition and obscure the "good news" we are called to proclaim.
I believe the cultural backlash against evangelical Christianity has less to do with our views — many observant Muslims and Jews, for example, also view homosexual sex as wrong, while Catholics have been at the vanguard of the movement to protect the lives of the unborn — and more to do with our posture. The Scripture calls us "aliens and exiles" (1 Peter 2:11), but American evangelicals have not acted with the humility and homesickness of aliens. The proper response to our sexualized and hedonistic culture is not to chastise, but to "conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that, though they malign you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God" (1 Peter 2:12).
This does not mean we whitewash unpopular doctrines like the belief that we are all sinners but that we re-emphasize the free forgiveness available to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Some evangelical leaders are embarrassed by our movement's present paralysis. I am not. Weakness is a potent purifier. As Paul wrote, "I am content with weaknesses ... for the sake of Christ" (2 Corinthians 12:10). For me, the deterioration and disarray of the movement is a source of hope: hope that churches will stop angling for human power and start proclaiming the power of Christ.
Simple faith in Christ's sacrifice will march on, unchallenged by empires and eras. As the English writer G. K. Chesterton put it, "Christianity has died many times and risen again; for it had a God who knew the way out of the grave."

Worn by Hebrew women at the time of marriage (Gen. 24: 65–7). Also by Moses after he had been 'conversing' with God (Exod. 34: 33): the story was taken up by Paul (2 Cor. 3: 13), who compared to Moses' disadvantage the action of veiling his face so that the people should not realize that the reflected glory had come to an end with the complete openness he (Paul) displayed towards the Corinthians.
The curtain which separated the Holy of Holies in the Temple from the Holy Place (2 Chron. 3: 14), through which only the High Priest passed (Lev. 16: 12). The gospel writers claim that it was torn at Jesus' death (Mark 15: 38), symbolizing the access to God which Jesus has opened for everybody. According to Josephus the veil was a tapestry on which the heavens were depicted. Mark's readers might have recalled that at Jesus' baptism the heavens were rent (Mark 1: 10). At the baptism, Jesus' role was signified; at the crucifixion it was consummated.

Last week American retailer Forever 21 brought the spirit of California to the amazing space at the Old Sorting Office *better known I think as the Redbull Fashion Factory*. At lot of effort went into creating this hanger space into a cool Santa Monica Beach carnival, complete with its very own F21 Hollywood sign, Henna Tattoo Caravan, ice-cream truck, beach huts filled with pick n mix sweets and jewellery, a burger van, teepee tent bars, a mini carousel, and my favourite bit being the roller girls.
All this to launch their new store in London, I know crazy right, but seriously what an amazing night it was, if only the weather had been better as when I left I really just wanted to see the sun!!
As well as a great bash there was also a hologram show, which was interesting to say the least, complete with retro cinema tickets we saw the latest Forever 21 on holographic models and it was a great show. I took a few snaps and I love how the models disappeared and the illusion of rain was very real.
I also love nights when I get to have a laugh with my friends, so it was good to see the amazing Kelly, who was celebrating her new job in PR, and it was also the unofficial birthday party for the wonderful Alex Loves.
I couldn't resist a little photo opp on the carousel.
Biggest feeling I left with is how much I want to be a roller skater girl!! How cool does this Barbie-esq beauty look?
As well as roller girls, B-boys, skaters, and the hoola-hoop crazy off Britain's Got Talent, Bip Ling, face of Forever 21 was also in the house to DJ and relax in her own 'Star' lounge.
Big thanks to Forever 21 and Shine Communications for the invite I had an amazing time, and I can't wait to check out the store tomorrow.

TechCrunch discussed "AboutUs: A Wiki About Every Website" recently.
Portland, Oregon based AboutUs announced this week that it has closed a Series A round of funding and raised $1 million. The site is a wiki directory of web sites, mostly populated automatically but with a healthy amount of traffic and a growing number of edits being made daily. If you look up your website on AboutUs, you'll probably find an entry there.
The Portland Business Journal says:
King's Portland company has just closed a $1 million initial financing round for its wiki, or collaboratively created Web site, listing the names of Web sites and information about them.
The site name refers to the "About Us" page that commonly appears on business Web sites.
What has AboutUs investors excited is how much attention the site is already getting from Internet users, without any marketing or publicity.
The site was ranked as the 1,266th most popular site on the Internet at midweek, far ahead of two other wikis that list businesses, yellowikis.org and wikicompany.org. AboutUs.org went "live" in mid-August.
There is a lot of comparisons to Google, YouTube, and other "free" and open source startups that caught the attention of bloggers and surfers, as well as investors and advertisers, leading to more investors and eventually big buyers and big money.
The concept of Web 2.0 is the idea that social networking can dictate success in business because society supports it because they benefit from it. Aboutus, Inc. is a community built and supported project from which the community may benefit, but I'm sure individuals will reap the financial rewards.
So what is Aboutus, Inc.? It's a wiki which acts as a directory, a kind of comprehensive, do-it-yourself encyclopedia of websites. The information used to built the informational pages comes from the About Us page on the websites. So I went looking to see what was there.
As a wiki built on the successful Mediawiki platform, when searching for a specific site, word, or phrase, Mediawiki checks its database and if it finds an exact or near to exact match without a lot of other options, it brings up the page most likely to match, rather than a list of search results. Looking for Taking Your Camera on the Road, my main site, I found CameraOnTheRoad.com.
The page includes a thumbnail screenshot of the front page of my site and the first few paragraphs of our About Us page. The page also features an "add your vote", "recent reviews", and a map of where we would be, if we actually stayed in one place. They created the map based upon our "permanent" address in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a place we may not see two to three years between 2-4 day visits. Such is our life on the road.
The page also includes the language my site is written in, English, but doesn't note that I also have a translation WordPress Plugin, so the site could be read in many different languages.
It also includes my contact address, company name, and a couple of personal information bits that I'm not happy about being included. So I clicked the EDIT button to get rid of the personal information, and it let me edit the page without registration. Wow!
There was, however, a note that said my IP Address would be logged for security reasons as I wasn't registered, but the page saved and the information I didn't want to appear was gone. (Note: I had to do a total refresh to see the changes.) It might come back as the editors and monitors of Aboutus might restore it, so I'll watch it and if I need to, I will register.
Which such ease of access, the task of monitoring these sites must be tremendous. Anyone could write anything. Which begs the question of whether or not we, as the site owners, should be monitoring our own Aboutus page? And who should be "responsible" for what is shown on our pages? Us? Or them? This is part of the many answers and concerns I have about such ideas.
A list of related domains is also featured, some of which had nothing in common with my site. Though upon closer inspection, I realized that some of these sites I've written about recently, so they must have a program or crawler that grabs this information from the site automatically for inclusion. Interesting.
At the bottom of the page, they have made strong use of a directory style categorization which puts my site in a long list of categories:
Arts | Photography | Techniques and Styles | FAQs, Help, and Tutorials | Nature | Nature Photography | Travel | Road | Camera | Adventure | Writing | Magazine | Authors | Writers | Shopping | Shop | Recreational Vehicle | RV | Recreation | Outdoors | Tips | Internet | Web Site | Business | Images | Photographic | How | How To | Equipment | Techniques | Web | Wildlife | Design | Learning | Photographer | Vehicle | Weather | Photographs | Articles | Improving | Share | Tricks
The list looks like it was generated from my meta tags keyword list rather than any categories on my site.
I don't see how this information was collected manually, and while I know the majority of the information was collected from Whois, the Internet directory list of all registered websites, it would still be very interesting to learn more about how the information was collected and posted on the Aboutus wiki.
I also went looking for Lorelle on WordPress and found nothing. Any search for a WordPress.com blog ended up on the WordPress.com page. The page highlights the site's language as English, though we all know that WordPress.com blogs come in over 40 different languages. The main server site in Texas is listed as the company location.
So I can't find Lorelle on WordPress, which would mean I'd have to add it myself or let someone else do it. If you have a WordPress.com blog, and you find yourself listed, let me know. I'm really curious to see if any WordPress.com blogs are listed since I couldn't find any.
I have to admit that the search results page, when I finally got one, was even more fascinating to me. I'm going to recommend we do something similar with the WordPress Codex, also based upon Mediawiki.
The search results shows the best "Article Title Matches", then a list of the "Page Text Matches", which gives you two options for finding your search content. There is another list on the right side of the page that gives you a third search results option, listing search results found by a built-in site search by Google. This list shows every page on which your search appears, including category pages and linked reference pages found under the "Related Domains" list. Wow! I like this kind of comprehensive option list for search results.
As for the success or failure of Aboutus, Inc., it totally relies upon the web world's fascination and use of the site. In many respects, it is not much different from Alexa and other similar site listings, including DMOZ, the Open Directory.
A directory of basic information on a website helps people quickly find out who is behind the face of a website, but it also opens up a can of worms as the site can be so easily edited. In a time when your reputation is based upon what is written about you on the web, this could be another site you have to monitor frequently to make sure your good name, or the good name of your blog, is respected.
What do you think about this?

NBC has acquired some extra booty to add to its 2012-2013 TV schedule. The network has ordered pirate drama Crossbones, from Luther creator Neil Cross.
In 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, home to the first functioning democracy in the Americas, the notorious pirate Blackbeard leads a nation of thieves and outlaws who represent a mounting threat to intentional commerce. To regain control, a trained undercover assassin named Tom Lowe is sent to take down Blackbeard. However, Lowe soon becomes an admirer of Blackbeard, thanks to his charisma, intelligence and political ideals.
Fall TV scorecard: Which shows are returning? Which aren't?
Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald (Gladiator, Men In Black) will executive-produce along with Three Rivers' Ted Gold and Cross, who will also write the series.
NBC has ordered ten episodes of Crossbones, which will begin production in the fall.
Will you watch Crossbones?

Talking Race
bell hooks examines racism from a feminist perspective.
By Kerry Barger '11
"We each bring a history to any moment," says IC politics professor and noted feminist Zillah Eisenstein. "bell hooks brings many moments to this moment."
Not a single seat was left open in 102 Textor Hall on October 5, as students, faculty, and community members shared a moment with author and social critic bell hooks. Many were forced to find a seat on the floor, and some stood in the hallway as they listened to her words on feminist theory and racism in the United States.
Asma Barlas, professor of politics and director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Race, and Ethnicity (CSCRE), which sponsored hooks's visit to campus, says she was grateful to speak on behalf of hooks, since they share an identity as women of color living in the United States.
"I have felt deeply moved by hooks's work," says Barlas. "She did such a wonderful job when she visited the College in 2001 that we asked her to come back. I had the honor to welcome her then, and I did so from the very margins I occupy myself as a new immigrant to this country."
hooks's talk was part of CSCRE's 10th anniversary discussion series, Centering the Margins, which is examining how marginal or excluded peoples exist within a system of social, racial, and sexual boundaries. The series explores not only the limitations marginal populations face but also the possibilities they have to drive change.
Throughout her presentation, "Talking Race: Ending Racism," hooks talked about how women are often excluded from the discussion of race, even though they play a pivotal part in teaching generations about racism and sexism in our country.
"When the issue of race is talked about, it has always been seen as a dialogue between men," she says. "To understand how this drama plays itself out today, it is essential that we look at the role of women."
Born Gloria Jean Watkins in Hopkinsville, Kentucky, in 1952, hooks changed her name and lowercased it to emphasize the content of her writing as opposed to her identity as an author. Since then, she has published 30 books, including Ain't I a Woman?: Black Women and Feminism. The book, which was written in 1981 but wasn't published until 1992, was lauded as one of the 20 most influential women's books in the last 20 years by Publisher's Weekly.
hooks's discussion also covered the role popular culture plays in identifying women. She talked about how movies and books can undermine the image of strong, independent women.
"Books like The Help portray black domestic help as really liking the white women they worked for," hooks says. "This media portrayal is generally wrong. A lot of black women shared disgust over the laziness of white female employers."
When asked by an Ithaca College student about what to do about sexism and racism, hooks offered one bit of advice.
"Everybody is involved in the system in some way as part of the machinery," hooks said. "But there are no closed systems, and the task of the resistance struggle is to find an opening."

The Bears will look to rebound from last year's dismal season in which the Bears recorded a 9-20 finish. It marked Todd Bozeman's worst season as a head coach, and it was Morgan State's worst season since going 4-26 in 2005-06.

That winning mean is the second highest among 15 head coaches in the history of the Morgan State men's basketball program. Nathaniel Frazier's winning percentage of .578 (166-121) is the highest percentage in Morgan State history.
During his tenure in Baltimore, Todd Bozeman has coached seven (7) different players to All-Conference honors, including four Players of the Year selections: Ron Timus (2007 2nd Team), Boubacar Coly (2008 Defensive POTY, 1st Team), Jamar Smith (2008 Offensive POTY, 1st Team), Marquise Kately (2008 & 2009 2nd Team), Reggie Holmes (2007 All-Rookie, 2008 2nd Team, 2009 Offensive POTY, 2009 & 2010 1st Team), Kevin Thompson (2009 All-Rookie, 2010 Defensive POTY, 2010 1st Team, 2011 2nd Team), DeWayne Jackson (Rookie of the Year, 2011 1st Team).

Senior DeWayne Jackson is filling the stat sheet this season, averaging 14.8 points (ranked No. 5), 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.3 steals (ranked No. 2) per game. Jackson has also registered 12 blocks. He has recorded 15 double-digit scoring games, including a season-high 32-point effort at Virginia (Dec. 19).
The Bears have only out-rebounded 6 of their first 16 opponents so far this season. In fact, the Bears have gone 5-1 in the games in which they've won the battle on the boards. MSU's best rebounding performance was during its season-opening win against UTSA where they held a 52-26 advantage on the glass.
The Bears will continue the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference schedule when they host Hampton at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 2 at Hill Field House.

The Monasteries Route invites visitors to take a 100 km journey through the monasteries between Alpirsbach and Maulbronn against the fairytale backdrop of the Northern Black Forest. Experience the centuries of history hidden behind these monasteries' venerable walls and feel the wonder of a by-gone age in the midst of modernity.
There are places that are so much more than a point on a map: places where the atmosphere is palpable and that are much more than a mere structure of bricks and stone. The Monasteries Route offers an insight into the world of important monasteries and is guaranteed to leave visitors speechless on more than just one occasion.
The Kinzig Valley abbey
For nine centuries the picturesque landscape of the Kinzig Valley has been dominated by the stately red sandstone abbey of Alpirsbach. The Benedictine's sense of the monumental and their preference for clean, orderly Romanesque forms is in abundant evidence at this former Benedictine abbey.
Monastery theatres and concerts in the cloisters
Visitors can enjoy monastery or cloister concerts or attend one of the monastery's interesting workshops. The St. Peter and St. Paul Benedictine Abbey in Hirsau contains arresting relics of monastic history and the former world of monks and abbots. Here you can stare in wonder at the ruins of the abbey, attend an abbey theatre production (Klosterspiele) or enjoy one of the celebrated concerts at the Aurelius Church (Aureliuskirche) with other music-lovers.
UNESCO monasteries
The extremely well-preserved, elegant old monastery at Maulbronn, built by Cistercian monks around 850 years ago (seemingly for eternity) in the secluded Salzachtal valley, is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Wherever they go, monks always leave their mark on local culture
Monks have lived, built, prayed and worked in this well-preserved medieval monastery for almost 400 years, and so the traditions of the Cistercian Order have left their indelible marks on the cultural life of the region. Throughout history, members of religious orders have made an important contribution to the development of European culture, and their monastic architecture is an inherent part of our cultural heritage.
Length: approximately 104 km
Theme: monasteries and churches
Alpirsbach: abbey, abbey brewery and museum, glass making workshop
Calw/Hirsau: St. Peter and Paul Abbey, abbey museum, Aurelius Church (Aureliuskirche), abbey theatre production

It's twenty-seven inches tall
Yes, it is quite beautiful, a lovely colour but still a huge nuisance
and non vale la pena, just not worth it
Hippeastrum is a genus of about 70-75 species and 600+ hybrids and cultivars of bulbous plants in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas from Argentina north to Mexico and the Carribean. Some species are grown for their large showy flowers. These plants are popularly but erroneously known as Amaryllis, an African genus in the same family.
Contrast this with:
Amaryllis is a monotypic (only one species) genus of plant also known as the Belladonna Lily or naked ladies. The single species, Amaryllis belladonna, is a native of South Africa, particularly the rocky southwest region near the Cape.
Now that wasn't so painful was it.
A little award came my way recently. You make my day! It came from Ian Lidster who definitely deserves it. As well as being a professional journalist and writer he maintains a wonderfully entertaining blog. He wrote a newspaper column for many years and in my opinion there is no one like him to take an idea and run with it every which way, in a quietly humorous way. If you have not encountered Ian before take a look at The 'gormful' could rule if we'd let them? I was really looking for a hilarious one he wrote about sleeping nude but could not find it. Thanks for thinking of me Ian, I really appreciate it.
I want to apologize for this blog still being a bit sporadic and even more frivolous and less erudite than usual. At my age, you'd think I would have my act together. Maybe soon, maybe later. Who can say?
