Hot off the desk from the new director of CDC, Dr. Tom Frieden, are his five priority areas for the next four to eight years under the Obama administration. Each of Dr. Frieden's priorities has an element of "Nothing About Us Without Us." Let's take them one at a time.
This is the perfect time for our new CDC director to recognize that there is a community of citizens that has been marginalized and underrepresented in the public health arena for many decades. The "Nothing About Us Without Us" mantra that has transformed the disability community into a force in its own right needs greater representation in public health from the top down.

The time is drawing near! The AnnualMeeting in Philadelphia is just several weeks away now. APHA's continued commitment to accessible meetings will culminate in a free accessibility training to heighten awareness and educate hotel and convention center staff on disability and accessibility issues prior to the arrival of APHA attendees. Accessibility Co-Chair Catherine Leigh Graham will be conducting the two-hour training session twice at the Convention Center on Nov. 6. Effective ways to communicate with and assist a person with a disability will be covered, with emphasis placed on the preferred language of the disability community and general etiquette issues.
The Accessibility Booth is also getting geared up. This booth will be in the main registration area and will be staffed by convention center staff as well as local people with disabilities. We hope that all of your accessibility questions can be answered at this one stop shop.
The Physical Activity SPIG has tentatively planned a fun run/walk for Tuesday morning, Nov. 10. The Disability Section strongly supports the physical activity aspect of life for everyone, including those with disabilities. We are working with this SPIG to try to ensure that the run/walk route is accessible and strongly encourage everyone participating.
We look forward to seeing you in Philadelphia!
This year, the Disability Section has decided to conduct the Chair's Forum as a venue for sharing scholarship and criticism for new ideas in progress about disability and public health. Building on a structure instituted by Dr. Renee Jahiel, presenters will share developing concepts, theories and research and receive critical commentary from audience participants. This forum brings the intellectual power of dialog and exchange to the advancement of progressive scholarship and informed practice in public health. The forum will be held Sunday, Nov. 8 from 1-4:30 p.m., and all members of the Disability Section are encouraged to attend.
If you have any questions about the Chair's Forum, please contact Dr. Stephen Gilson at email@example.com or at (207) 581-1263.
The APHA Disability Section listserv continues to be a valuable resource to Section members for contemporary programmatic, research and policy updates. Please continue to forward to Communications Chair Roberta Carlin at
items to be distributed through the Disability Section listserv. If you have items that you would like to submit for the Disability Section newsletter, please send to Roberta Carlin.
The listserv will be sending out frequent e-mails about the APHA Annual Meeting in November, so please read them carefully so you do not miss any important announcements.

The Policy Committee has continued to work with the APHA Policy office to assure our voice is heard so that health reform addresses the needs of individuals with disabilities. After we alerted the APHA office to the pending legislation H.R. 3101, the Twenty-F
irst Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2009, Dr. Benjamin wrote a letter to the members of the House of Representative to urge support of the bill. H.R. 3101 will ensure that people with disabilities, who have historically faced barriers to accessing health and other resources, have access to Internet
based telecommunications and video programming technologies. These technologies provide critical public health and health care health resources, including information on living healthfully, preventing disease, responding to health emergencies and connecting with mentors and experts in times of health diagnostic episodes. They also provide resources for obtaining an education, employment, housing, transportation, and other social resources that are critical for an improved quality of life. Specifically, H.R. 3101 would:
· Require that mobile and other Internet‐based telecommunications devices and equipment be fully hearing aid compatible, have accessible user interfaces, and offer people with disabilities use of a full range of text messaging and other popular services that are currently largely inaccessible;
· Provide people who are deaf‐blind with vital but costly technologies they need to communicate electronically;
· Establish a process and time table for the provision of real‐time text capability;
· Clarify existing relay‐to‐relay, Lifeline and Linkup service requirements to ensure their relevance to the real world communications needs of people with disabilities;
· Restore the Federal Communications Commissionʹs (FCC) modest video description rules and unambiguously establish the FCCʹs current and ongoing authority to expand such regulations;
· Require emergency announcements and similar information to be accessible to people with disabilities through audible presentation of on‐screen alerts;
· Ensure that video programming offered via the Internet will be both captioned and described;
· Call for all devices that receive and playback video programming to employ accessible user interfaces and allow ready access to captioning and description;
· Strengthen consumersʹ ability to enforce their rights to communications and video accessibility through the establishment of a clearinghouse of information about service and equipment accessibility and usability, a meaningful FCC complaint process that holds industry accountable for their accessibility obligations, and judicial review of FCC action to ensure FCC accountability.
Please support the Policy Committee by letting us know of pending legislation you think needs support AND contacting your congressional representatives to support important disability related bills.
The APHA 137th Annual Meeting and Exposition will take place in Philadelphia at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, Nov. 7-11, 2009.

Hell hole A.K.A School on Mondays0 Reviews
Gee decides to go back to school, and there was a 'traitor' at the party.
*Gerard's POV*
I walked to school with Mikey on Monday, I wish this leather jacket had a hood so I could hide from the light rain. My Doc Martens felt like they were holding me back, feeling my fear, not wanting me to go today.
Walking through the halls, I felt eyes boring into my back, for one reason or another, I was the center of attention this morning.
There was a group of people surrounding my locker -oh great- they moved out the way so I could see.
"Go to hell FAG"
"Go back to where you came from fag face"
"Gay ass fag"
Notes and graffiti covered my locker. Along with pictures.
Some one at the party had taken pictures of the kiss. But they were from loads of different points of view,so it could have been anyone.
I felt something hard hit my head, then slime drippled down my neck. Egg. Nice.
"Fag!" The guy shouted at his walked back down the hall.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, I wiped the egg out of my hair -as best I could- and opened my locker, ignoring the whispering and taunts, I got my books and closed it again.
"Heya, oh shit, sorry about this, I heard it was bad." Ray voice behind me, I turned around, "You okay?"
"I'm fine, lets go." I said trying to get away, good thing Ray was so big and tall, people moved out of the way for him.
"What do you have first?" he asked.
"Gym. But I'm skipping."
"Mind if I join?" he asked.
"NO. I don't want to be left on my own." I said, pushing past more people trying to not let me through.
We got out to the back of the school and climbed up onto the roof -Ray's idea-.
"I thought you were like the school golden child. Mr perfect" I said leaning on an airvent exhaling the cigarette.
"HA! You'd be lucky. Nah, all the class stuff is bullshit, it's only cos Bob, and the rest the of us are the only decent ones here."
I laughed, I felt so normal with Ray, he had that sorta aura about him.
The roof door opened and we frooze, crouching behind the air vent.
"Guys?" It was Bob, "You up here?" he said quietly. We poked our heads around and jumped out, "Christ! You scared me Ray, oh hi Gerard."
"Hiya, what lesson you bunking?" I asked.
"Arn't you in Mikey's Math class though?"
"Yeah but I can't stick the teacher. He's happy ALL the freaking time, he hasn't yelled ALL year. It's odd"
I stepped on the fag butt, and sat back down on the roof.
"It was Dan who took the pictures on Friday, he kept getting up, saying he was looking for his phone, he fucking TOOK them with his phone." Bob said, folding his arms.
"I'll have a word with him." Ray said.
"Nah you don't need to. I'm fine." I said.
"They did it to Frank's locker too though, not as bad as yours but still pretty low stuff. He got more death threats then you." Bob said, "I saw some of it on the way to class."
"Shit." Ray said, "Is he in today, you guys normally drive in."
"Nah, he called last night, saying he was skipping today." Bob said.
All because of me, he had my email, my phone, my home phone and my address and he hadn't spoken to me all weekend, well then again I hadn't talked to him.
The bell for second period went, I had Art.
"Well, I'm off, I got art." I said standing up and brushing the muck off of my jeans, "Where you gonna be at lunch?"
"The tree." I smiled, that must be all our tree, that was the first place I talked to Frank.
I sat in Art, luckily not many of the people in here were dickheads, actually most of them were girls, and they were really nice to me.
I sat on the desk next to the window, facing out, my back to the wide light room.
We had been given a piece of paper and were told to draw what we felt.
I drew a larger scale of my bloody couple. I drew the faces quickly but spent ages on the blood splats, writing stories in my head on how they got there.
Murder, torture, betrayal, love, depression.
I carefully painted it in, totally oblivious to the crowd of people watching over my shoulder. I could just hear the faint mutters of amazement, and apraisal.
The bell went forcing me back into reality. I cleared my stuff up after everybody left for break.
"Gerard. May I have a word with you?" Mr Lyods asked me, leaning against one of the tables.
"If it's about the locker. I'm fine with it." I said putting on my coat.
"N-no. It wasn't. It was... about the self harm." I turned around, shit I had a short sleeve top on, he must have seen the cut.s shit shit shit. I've been to enough shrinks and counsellors to know I'm a lost cause. "I just wanted to know, is everything okay at home?"
"What do you think?" I said sarcastically.
"I think you just need a different outlet for what's going on in your head." He said standing infront of the door, "I heard you've done more drawings, like the one you did today, may I see them?"
I sighed and fished out my battered sketchbook, only reserved to the pictures that I had planned to draw, no doodles go in here. I handed it and he went to his desk and flicked through. I followed sitting on the desk nearest.
"Gerard, well, these are amazing!" He said looking up to me, "They're all originals?"
I nodded, "I hate copying stuff."
He held up the book "Why do I recognise this boy?" he asked.
It was the picture I'd done of Mikey, he was in his halloween costume last year, A black suit with a blood splattered white shirt, black tie and vampire fangs, dark smokey eyes (my make up) and fake blood drippling from his lips.
"That's my younger brother Mikey, I think you teach him to." he nodded.
"You know, this room is always open if you ever need to come in, I don't teach every period.. so if you ever need a place to go." he smiled kindly.
"Thanks, sir. I'll take that in mind." I hopped off the desk and went to the door, pulling my jacket tighter around me.
"Just don't do anything you'll regret to yourself okay? It'd be nice to see my best student graduate."
I smiled and opened the door, "Bye sir." I called, walking into the outside world.
Heyaaaa, nothing really to say now, I think the next chapter will be my last tonight, but I'm working on more don't worry. I might start on a fresh plot when this is done. And my laptop is still being wierd with the chapters, is it with you? Maria xoxo

(NEWS RELEASE) -- The University of Louisville volleyball team has moved up to No. 9 in the AVCA Poll. It is the best ranking of the season, after being ranked No. 10 twice this year, including last week. U of L has not been ranked No. 9 since 2005. The highest ranking in program is No. 6.
U of L also improved its RPI to fourth, behind just Stanford, Penn State and Texas.
Lola Arslanbekova is ranked No. 3 in the nation in kills per set with a 4.95 mean. She is sixth in the nation in point per set with 5.36.
The Cardinals became the first BIG EAST team to win both the BIG EAST Championship and regular season titles in the same season since St. John's did in 2007. It also marked the 15th time a BIG EAST team accomplished this feat. The win was also Louisville's fifth BIG EAST Championship having won in 2006 and from 2008-10. It was also Louisville's 25th conference title counting regular season and tournament accolades.
Tournament MVP Gwen Rucker recorded 10 kills, six digs and five blocks on Sunday to finish the three-day tournament with 38 kills and 52 swings with just four errors. Rucker hit .654 for the weekend. BIG EAST Regular Season MVP Lola Arslanbekova, who was also named to the All-BIG EAST Championship Team, snapped Louisville's spell of five matches without a double-double. The senior had 13 kills and 11 digs for her 20th double-double of the season.
Caitlin Welch added a match-high 21 digs and was named to the All-BIG EAST Championship Team.

Rare Fixing Unclear SDTV Text in Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Despite Being 'Too Expensive'Flip-flopping from its previous stance, Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (360) developer Rare has now pledged to fix the game's small text, which is unreadable on a standard-definition TV set and only legible on a high-definition display.
"We would like to assure you that contrary to earlier reports, we are aware of the issue and currently working on a title update to be released within the next 30 days that will fix it for those with Standard Definition TVs," reads an update from Rare community manager George Kelion on the game's official Banjo Blog.
A few days ago, the company claimed the issue was "too expensive [to fix] in terms of time, resources and money," with Kelion begging "please don't kill me....when all's said and done, we're only human."
Though the vehicle-customizing action-adventure game doesn't head off to stores until tomorrow, November 11, the unclear teeny-tiny text was noticed by SDTV-using gamers following the downloadable demo that hit in late October.

28th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
|28th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Valencia, Spain, 26 November 2002
Report of the Meeting
1. In attendance were all the members of the Standing Committee for 2003-2005 elected by the 8th Meeting of the Conference of the Parties (Valencia, Spain, 18-26 November 2002). They are as follows:
Africa: Botswana, Ghana and Morocco
Asia : Iran and Japan
Europe: Armenia, Austria, Romania, and Slovenia
Neotropics : Argentina and Nicaragua
North America: Canada
Oceania: Papua New Guinea
COP8 host country: Spain
COP9 host country: Uganda
Permanent observers: Netherlands, Switzerland, BirdLife International, IUCN-The World Conservation Union, Wetlands International, WWF International.
Observers: Australia, Indonesia, and the United States of America
Opening remarks
2. The Secretary General opened the meeting by congratulating all newly elected member countries to the Standing Committee. He stressed the importance of the work of the Standing Committee in the coming triennium, and that it has a large amount of work to undertake in addition to its routine business, notably in appointing the new Secretary General of the Convention, in overseeing the implementation of the new Strategic Plan and modus operandi of the Scientific and Technical Review Panel, and in implementing Resolution VIII. 45 concerning future meetings of the Conference of the Parties.
3. The Secretary General explained that there were two main tasks for this meeting of the Committee:
a) to elect the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Committee; and
b) to establish the dates of the first meeting of the Committee, in early 2003.
4. The Secretary General also advised the Committee that it could, if it so wished, elect the Chair of the Subgroup on Finance, although if this was not possible it could be done at the start of the first full business meeting of the Committee in early 2003.
Election of the Chairperson of the Standing Committee
5. The Secretary General then invited nominations for the Chair of the Committee.
6. Japan proposed Slovenia as Chair and Canada as Chair of the Subgroup on Finance. This was seconded by Armenia. These elections were approved by the Committee by acclamation.
7. Ms Gordana Beltram, representing Slovenia, took the Chair. She thanked the Committee for its confidence in Slovenia and in her personally, stressed the challenges ahead, and called on the support of all members of the Committee in helping her to progress its work.
8. The Chair then invited nominations for the post of Vice-Chairperson of the Standing Committee.
9. Japan was nominated by Armenia and seconded by Morocco, supported by Austria and Spain.
10. Japan thanked the members of the Committee for their nomination. However, Japan pointed out that although it is a Contracting Party that is elected to this post, it recognised that to secure the continuity of work of the Committee it was essential that the same representative of that Party act as the Vice-Chair for all the meetings of the Committee during the triennium, and felt that it would be difficult for Japan to make this commitment. Japan regretfully declined to accept the nomination.
11. Japan, seconded by Indonesia, then proposed the Islamic Republic of Iran as Vice-Chair of the Committee, and this was agreed by acclamation.
12. Mr. Javad Amin-Mansour, representing the I.R. of Iran, thanked all its colleagues and members of the Committee for the nomination, expressed its hope of doing the job well, and expressed its regret that Japan had felt unable to take on the role.
Decision SC28-1: In summary, the Standing Committee elected Slovenia as its Chair for the next triennium, the Islamic Republic of Iran as Vice-Chair, and Canada as Chair of the Subgroup on Finance.
Date and venue of the next meeting of the Standing Committee
13. The Secretary General explained that the Committee needs to meet as soon as possible in the triennium, but that before it meets sufficient time is required for the Bureau to prepare and circulate in advance the papers for the meeting, and that this circulation of papers would not be possible before the end of January 2003.
Decision SC28-2: The Standing Committee agreed that its next meeting should take place in the week of the 24-28 February 2003, at the seat of the Bureau in Gland, Switzerland.
14. The Selection Panel of the Standing Committee will also undertake the interviews for the formal appointment of the new Secretary General. The Selection Panel will meet on Monday 24 February and at least the morning of 25 February. The full meeting of the Standing Committee would therefore begin on the afternoon of 25 February or on the morning of 26 February. This will be confirmed at a later stage. The meeting would end on the afternoon of Friday 28 February.
Subgroup on Finance
15. The Secretary General noted that, exceptionally, the date of the first meeting of the Committee will mean that it will be asked to approve the Bureau's budget two months after the start of the year, owing to the late date in 2002 of COP8. However, in practice the Bureau's budget is the same as the Convention's budget as approved by COP8, so that this should not present any difficulties. Should any financial issues needing resolution by the Committee arise in the intervening period, he anticipated that these could be put to the Chair and members of the Subgroup on Finance.
16. Although the Subgroup on Finance usually meets for half a day prior to the full meeting of the Committee so as to address all financial issues for approval by the Committee, the Secretary General expressed the view that such a meeting would not be necessary in February 2003. However, the Subgroup will need in February 2003 to review the Bureau's accounts for 2002, and he proposed that for this purpose the Subgroup might wish to hold a short meeting in either the evening or the early morning during the Standing Committee meeting.
Decision SC28-3: The Standing Committee elected the following members to serve on the Subgroup on Finance, in addition to Canada (Chair): Argentina, Ghana, Papua New Guinea and Romania. The representatives of the Asia region will undertake further consultations and will advise the Chair of their nomination.
Selection of the new Secretary General
17. The Secretary General reminded the Committee of the procedure for selection of the new Secretary General: that a panel of members of the previous Standing Committee had met during COP8 and had selected a shortlist of five candidates for interview. Interviews would be conducted by a panel of members of the newly elected Standing Committee composed of the Chair and Vice-Chair of the Committee, the Chair of the Subgroup on Finance, a representative of each Ramsar region, and the Director General of IUCN, which acts as the formal employer under Swiss law of all Ramsar Bureau staff.
18. The USA queried whether the Committee should take the opportunity of this present meeting to identify the members of the selection panel for the post of Secretary General. The Secretary General advised that the procedure established is for the panel members to be identified by the Chair of the Committee in consultation with its regional members, and that the Committee and the chair could, if it so wished, identify its representatives now.
Decision SC28-4: The Committee agreed that the following Contracting Parties would represent their regions on the Secretary General Selection Panel: Africa: Botswana; Asia: Japan; Europe: Austria; Neotropics: Argentina; North America: Canada (acting also as Chair of the Subgroup on Finance); Oceania: Papua New Guinea
19. The USA reminded the meeting about Cuba's query in COP8 plenary concerning whether the curricula vitae of the short-listed candidates would be made available to all Contracting Parties in advance of the interviews.
20. The Secretary General pointed out that it would be highly exceptional for the details of candidates for the chief executive officer post of any international organization to be given global open circulation.
21. He reminded the Committee that it was its responsibility to act on behalf of all Contracting Parties during the inter-sessional periods between COPs, that they are members selected by each region to act as its representatives and had therefore agreed to accept this responsibility, and that such selection is usually undertaken by an organization's governing body (i.e. the Standing Committee). He noted that if a particular Contracting Party requested to see candidates' cvs from the relevant regional member of the Standing Committee, it would be acceptable for it to be given such access.
22. The names of the shortlisted candidates will be provided to the members of the Standing Committee within two weeks, after all candidates have been contacted.
23. Argentina requested that the Bureau supply the full application details of all candidates as soon as possible, so that it may undertake wide consultation.
Any other business
24. Japan requested guidance concerning whether and how additional Subgroups would be established for other areas of the Committee's work, noting that there would be a need to establish such a Subgroup to develop the proposals for future COPs, in response to Resolution VIII.45. The Secretary General advised that such Subgroups would be established by the Committee's meeting in February 2003, and recommended that the Committee establish a maximum of two such groups, since otherwise there would not be the time and capacity for the Committee to undertake such work owing to its small membership.
25. Uganda stated that as the host country for COP9 it will need to work very closely with the Bureau and the Standing Committee so as to ensure a successful meeting of the Conference of the Parties.
26. The Chair closed the meeting.

This looks easier and safer than raising up a bike with pulleys--good work.
So much better looked then my current bike wall rack... I'll take 4 please
What a great idea and a great use of space! I love it!
this only works with men's bikes :(
yincrash, I was just about say, "What about womens' bikes?"
Great idea but $300 for a single shelf is a bit much.
"What about womens' bikes?"
...or Mountain Bikes.
Well, couldn't it work with some women's bikes? The bike would just be... tilted.
Very clever and a nice idea for a frame with a straight, thin top tube with no frills or rear brake cables (hello fixed gear riders).
"Women's" bike isn't the right vernacular for the tilted bar - they're called step-through. My bike looks like the one pictured with a horizontal top tube.
beautiful. kudos.
It only does men's bikes! What about women's bikes, or motorcycles, or segways, or mini coopers?
I registered just to comment that this is awesome and that I'm going to make one of these for my new house.
Very slick looking.
Agree with caseoftornados. A straight bar is not a "men's bike" and a step through is not "women's bike".
gorgeous, but yeah, yikes on the price.
The shelf here was designed specifically for my bike and I know it isn't like all others. I have tweaked the shelf to fit frames with larger top tubes/cables/etc. Unfortunately I have not designed a step through or mixte version, but am hoping to in the near future. I will let you know. Here are the current specs for the shelf. If your bike doesn't fit in these spec and you are interested, just email me and we can hopefully tweak it for your needs.
I want one!! My bike isn't a stepthrough, so it would hang nicely....I just wish I could afford it right now.
Maybe later. Stocking the savings account. :D
this is brilliant (even if the price is ... completely unreasonable).
raj21's comment is spam, by the way.
Very cool! But you need space to accomodate the length of the bike. Mine has to hang.
strongly agree about the women's bikes vs stepthrough distinction -- all of the bike's ive ever owned (as a woman) have had straight top tubes, but i have male friends with casual bikes with slanted top tubes!
also, this is really freaking cool.
doh. *bikes.

Why are we here?
"It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? I mean, are we the product of some cosmic coincidence, or is there really a God watching everything? You know, with a plan for us and stuff. I don't know, but it keeps me up at night."
Ok, seriously though, why do we even exist at all. I know everyone has their own ideas including myself, religious or not, but can you put that idea or belief to the test? The test being why are we here, what is the reason we exist at all. And if you believe god created us, why does he exist. Similarly, if the big bang created everything, why and for what reason or purpose? I am rather curios to hear everyone else's answer to this question.
Closing Statement from A Few Good Men
I think its clear below that we all have differing opinions on why we are here. I am very glad to see so much interest and discussion about this and I personally have expanded my own thoughts as to why we are here. I hope that everyone who's commented has also considered some of the differing view points too. Will there ever be a widely excepted answer to this question? Someday perhaps but I think for now, what each of us believe to be true is as good as knowing the actual answer. Thanks for your comments!

Maaher Sayeed 10+Dec 31 2012: We are here because we are not there. We are here for several purposes. We were born because our parents decided to have us, we fulfilled the purpose of bringing them the happiness they sought from us as babies, then we went on to bring them pride, and further on to become their emotional supports in thier old age. During this process we realized and developed other purposes, like helping others, giving love to others, protecting others, and becoming useful and contributing what we can to this world we share. Yet some choose to make greater contributions by building technology, buildings, systems, processes, that help make this world better and end up leaving behind something for others to develop further. Perhaps they believed that now that they are here, why ponder on "why?" and venture into "why not?" and by doing this we may realize or develop our own purposes, reasons and the answer to the "why?' eventually.
Now that we are here and not here for ever... why not make it spectacularly fantastic and change things for the better as much as we can?

By LAURIE M. W1RTH News editor of The Signpost Less than 100 people, mostly African-Americans, gathered at the Ogden Municipal Building Sunday for a peaceful vigil, spurred by a Weber State woman's desire to unite as a "multi-color" community.The demonstration was in response to the acquittal of four Los Angeles police officers, accused of beating black motorist Rodney King, and rioting in Los Angeles, Calif. Kimberle Butler, a WSU student, with the help of Ogden Resident SherylWilson-Hood, initiated the demonstration. Butler said she wanted to do something, because she felt deeply about the "things going on." "They said justice was served, but it doesn't appear that way. Rodney King didn't look violent," Butler said in an interview Friday. Rev. Isaac Brentley of the New Zion Baptist Church, began the vigil by praying for people to live together in peace : and harmony. "Justice must prevail...Violence isn't the answer, the solution is prayer," he said. Mayor Glenn Mecham commended those who initiated the demonstration. "The idea of coming foreword and saying 'lets pray together. Let's talk together and let's plan together. Let's accelerate this reform that we all want-the improvement of social justice now,' is so pleasing." He said Ogden city has a commitment to social justice and opportunity should be equal. "Contrast what we are doing here to-' day with the terrible, tragic scenes, the innocent victims of a negative rage that has stormed in California and other cities 1 u 1 ' A A 1 jt w v r - VXv .

Organizers of the demonstration promoted brotherly love and peaceful ends. in the country. They will spend years and : billions rebuilding.: We don't need to tear .; apart to build up," Mecham said. Mecham said he believes in unity, but unity shouldn't just be a slogan, but a standard to live by. The greatest resource to things that matter to citizens is human : ; volunteer commitment, he said. "If we wait for government, to do things for us and don't help,i t comes so slowly we get restless and we tend to riot," he said. Wilson-Hood, Ben Lomand PTA health commissioner, noted the irony of two men with the name King Rodney King and : Martin Luther King Jr. "He had a dream and it isn't being carried on as he thought. His dream was nonviolence," she said in a speech at the podium that was erected near the top of the building's stairs. "Believe that there is some good in everyone. In some it takes a little more time for that good to come out," she said. Ogden Chief of Police Michael Empey said he appreciated the attitude of cooperation and unity shown at the vigil. "Police officers tend sometimes to think ifs them against everybody else. But that's not really the case," he said. "There are problems and everybody knows there are problems. It's only denial to deny that things could be better." One of the things that could be done better for law enforcement is to be more in touch with the community, Empey said. "We need you to be in touch with the law enforcement community and keep us advised of what the concerns and needs are," he said. He said law enforcement should be sensitive to only use force where appropriate, to only arrest where appropriate and to find that there are "in most situations," (See PROTEST on page 2) i -A.-.-, . a (f A .A I.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Waterfowl Hunting Information
Waterfowl Draw Hunt
The MDWFP has numerous waterfowl hunting opportunities on its Wildlife Management Areas. Hunters can freelance waterfowl hunt on many areas like Sunflower, Malmaison, O'Keefe, Sky Lake, Pascagoula, Nanih Waiya, or Canal Section WMAs. Or if you are after a more structured experience with defined hunting units and on-site personnel available for questions, perhaps one of our areas offering a limited access hunting opportunity is of more interest to you. Wildlife Management Areas like Howard Miller, Charlie Capps, Mahannah, Trim Cane, Tuscumbia (Unit 2), Muscadine, and Indianola all have limited access waterfowl hunts. If you are interested in applying for reservations for a waterfowl draw hunt, Apply during any of the five draw application periods held mid-October through December for regular season duck hunts or early August for early teal season hunts.
Draw Hunt Procedures for Standby
Hunting Areas
Standby hunting is where hunters can arrive at the WMA the morning of waterfowl hunt days for an opportunity to fill vacancies as a result of reservation holders not showing up for their hunt. Standby procedures may be different from one area to the next based on hunter input for that area or what we have found works best for that area. For standby procedures on each area.
- Howard Miller WMA
- Mahannah WMA
- Muscadine WMA
- Trim Cane WMA
- Tuscumbia WMA (Unit 2)
- Neshoba County Lake
- Lake Bogue Homa
Waterfowl Hunt Unit Maps
The MDWFP offers a variety of mapping tools to help hunters get a feel of an area before they get a chance to visit it. Our Geographic Information System Program offers an interactive mapping application with updated aerial photography, topographical maps, and GPS locations. They also have maps of waterfowl hunting units for our Wildlife Management Areas that delineate hunting areas. Our Wildlife Management Area Program has maps and area regulations for all WMAs.
2013 Habitat Status on Selected
Waterfowl Hunting Areas
Waterfowl habitat status on selected WMAs is updated annually prior to the regular duck season.
- Howard Miller WMA- The conventional rice that was planted produced very well. Most moist-soil areas have strips of corn and Sudan grass planted in them for hunter cover and supplemental waterfowl foods. However, dry and hot conditions in late summer caused many of these plantings to suffer. Cover in moist-soil areas and soybean fields may be limited. Food availability in moist-soil areas is excellent, dominated by wild millet and sprangletop with little competition from non-desirable vegetation.
- Mahannah WMA- Moist-soil plants have responded very well after prolonged spring flooding. Sudan grass was planted in strips to provide hunter cover. Overall, the area's waterfowl food abundance is excellent.
- Muscadine Farms WMA- Moist-soil plants are growing well. Some areas were disked or mowed to clear dense areas of natural vegetation before flooding. Many impoundments have strips of Sudan grass and millet for hunter cover and supplemental waterfowl foods. Overall, waterfowl foraging and roosting habitat on Muscadine will be excellent, and some impoundments have been flooded since September.
- Twin Oaks WMA- Moist soil plant abundance is excellent in waterfowl impoundments and GTR openings. Millet and Sudan grass has also been planted to supplement natural foods and provide additional hunter cover.
- Malmaison WMA- The Malmaison green tree reservoir (GTR) had a good moist soil growing season. A lot of natural waterfowl foods were produced after a late wet spring. Waterfowl food plots were planted to millet in the GTR and produced well. Waterfowl foraging and resting habitat should be good in the GTR.
- O'Keefe WMA- The waterfowl impoundments on O'Keefe WMA contain a wide variety of waterfowl foods. The contract farmer grew soybeans with alternating strips of corn. The strips of corn were left standing for waterfowl food and hunter cover. Moist soil production was very good in most impoundments and some areas were supplemented with millet and corn plantings. Some manipulations were completed to clear dense areas of undesirable vegetation before flooding.
- Charlie Capps WMA- Moist-soil plants responded very well to a late wet spring. Impoundments have a diversity of waterfowl foods and abundant cover. Managers have done their best to mow/disc areas for waterfowl access in most impoundments. Large-scale removal of old stumps and clearing of thick brush has opened up many areas within impoundments for waterfowl access.
- Trim Cane WMA- Trim Cane WMA had an excellent moist-soil response in summer 2013. The grain sorghum, Egyptian wheat, and millet plantings also did well in most impoundments. Some additional nuisance vegetation control efforts were conducted within several of the impoundments, which improved the wetland habitat diversity. With adequate rainfall this fall and winter, Trim Cane promises to provide quality wintering waterfowl habitat. Updated water level and hunting information may be obtained by calling (662) 272-8303.
- Tuscumbia WMA- Due to a late wet spring, moist-soil habitat looks great. Also, several impoundments were planted in Japanese millet, browntop millet, sorghum sudan, grain sorghum, and Egyptian wheat. Also, managers have continued to create additional openings within impoundments. Access to waterfowl impoundments has been improved through extensive road improvements on this area. Updated water level and hunting information may be obtained by calling 662-284-0740.
- Indianola WMA - Habitat enhancements are ongoing at Indianola WMA. A limited number of waterfowl impoundments will be open to hunting during the 2013-14 waterfowl hunting season. Three of these units are planted in millet and the remaining seven consist of harvested rice fields.
Waterfowl Draw Hunt
The chance of getting a pre-season reservation waterfowl hunt varies from one WMA to the next. Harvest success, word-of-mouth, location, and waterfowl use all play an important role in dictating how many people apply for a certain WMA. Also, how many dates hunters choose and how they prioritize those dates can influence their chances of being drawn. For example, prioritizing for all available hunt dates within a draw period increases your likelihood of being drawn.

In an order that should surprise no one, the Supreme Court announced today that it will hear a challenge to a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, which requires many states to "pre-clear" new voting laws with the Department of Justice or a federal court in DC to ensure that those laws do not discriminate on the basis of race. The justices heard a similar case in 2009, but surprised most Court watchers by not striking down this key voting rights law. After this decision, the provision now under challenge prevented many states from implementing voter suppression laws such as requirements that voters show photo ID in order to vote. The justices also announced they will hear a case concerning whether a state may collect DNA samples from criminal suspects prior to their conviction.

How would an economic system not based on the acquisition of material wealth work?
The internet is essentially a machine that duplicates products without expending resources. It is a literal cornucopia of content products. The SOPA discussions are demonstrating that the old style economics of one-way distribution will not work for content companies in the present and future. But, what about everything else?
As we gather knowledge about the universe, we are able to create things with greater and greater ease. In the case of just about all content, we have gathered enough information to create a system that effectively generates product for no cost. There is also, usually, no profit - people make things because they want to.
Physical objects are more difficult to generate in this manner. We know this because it still takes effort and resources to make them. However, there may come a time when physical objects are created just as easily as content is created through the internet. What happens then?
What happens when we can no longer rely on profit from making things? How do we create an economic system that isn't based on acquiring material wealth?

Jan 21 2012: There is no way to produce without a measure of capitalism. The amount a society produces is equal to the amount it is capitalist. Even on the Internet, capitalism is what allows people to produce: bandwidth and sites are bought and sold, and it is because of this that we are able to do everything we like doing on the Internet. When people do not think they will gain something, they usually do not work. Even on the Internet, people only do a few things here and there usually, not hard work.
For example, my brother made a chrome app that would let you see when you had comments on Facebook: he did this because he thought it would be useful to him, and it only took a few minutes to make it public for everyone. When it got many downloads, he was hired to work for Facebook. Russel Richard seems to be under the impression that the Internet works without Capitalism - in reality, the capitalism is there, just usually invisible.
Jan 22 2012: Capitalism has one major benefit - it mandates over-production. Overproduction is needed to make up for expired value and to fund potential value - the funding of potential value is the benefit. It allows for advancement. The big downside, of course, is that all this investment funding is in the hands of the currency-masters, not the community. SO all the advancement is skewed to the personal interests of the bankers .. no mater how philanthropic they may be, it is an unbalanced way forward - and the interests of most people are not adequately served.
Jan 23 2012: Nobody has ever said, "Oh, look, I have to much wealth." Therefore, I do not understand your use of the word "overproduction". Also, the point of capitalism is to serve everyones' interests, so I don't understand that part of your statement either. People can do whatever they want in capitalism - so long as they pay for it. If you don't pay the consequences of what you do, then you just have looting. (e.g. if you don't pay for stuff you take, or if you dump waste in someone else's backyard, both of which are common in nonfree societies) Looting is bad for everyone - therefore, capitalism is good for "the interests of the community" except for the would-be looters.
I would also like to point out there is no such thing as "the will of the community" or, as Rousseau stated it, "the general will". Will is a characteristic specific to individuals, not groups. Humanity is not a massmind. Any belief that is built on humanity as a massmind, or the general will of humanity or the community, is inherently misguided.
Jan 23 2012: ERm .. I'm not sure which post you are replying to? I haven't mentioned any "will of the people". But if you are replying to my previous post, I can't see your connection between too much wealth and overproduction The concepts are not connected. I also refute that "people can do whatever they want in capitalism" - currencies and economies are rigidly regulated and contracted. And as for too much wealth - have a look around, many people turn their backs on riches. Looting normally happens in societies that exert repression and maintain a large gap between the "haves" and "have-nots". There's a ted talk here somewhere on the subject. I find It helps to use reason in discussion - emotions and dogma don't cut it.

Review this album
May 31, 2014A few good songs on it but I just didn't care for a majority of this album. Didn't click with me as well as their other work. It's bound to happen I guess.
Jun 29, 2012Really strong follow up to their mulitple hit spawning Elephant record. This album see's the White Stripes try some new tricks, being experimental while at the same time retaining their blues rock core. Although it doesn't have as many catchy numbers as it's predecessors and it may not always be as consistent as we're used to hearing from them, it's got some of their finest moments on it. Red Rain, Take Take Take, Blue Orchid and The Denial Twist would all walk onto any rock album out there. To compliment those tracks you've got the more peculiar ones like The Nurse and Little Ghost. Much better than it's follow up Icky Thump.… Collapse
Apr 26, 2012Very nicely done! I just adore The White Stripes. Jack White is so amazing, and the songs on this album just do not disappoint. It was very sad to see them break up, but I'm glad that we still have albums like this around.
Oct 31, 2011There is a reason why in 2005 The White Stripes received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group instead of Best Rock Vocal Performance or Best Rock Song. The opening Blue Orchid may not suggest it but Get Behind Me Satan is the bandâ
Oct 20, 2011The White Stripes, like The Strokes are a band who can completely change their sound for one record and it will be just as good as their other work. It's a strangely relaxing album and is a breath of fresh air from 21st century ****
Sep 22, 2011An average follow-up to their classic album Elephant. It's like they're trying to pull a Kid A on us and it nearly works. Some of their best songs to date are a product of the record, which include Blue Orchard, Denial Twist, and My Doorbell.
Jan 29, 2011Get Behind Me Satan will divide fans, and it sure has divided me. I loved White Blood Cells and Elephant. But Get Behind Me Satan does not sound like a White Stripes album at all. This album has some good ideas, but ultimately it just doesn't have that feel the previous two albums have. The first three songs are great, so I was feeling hopeful about it, but it really falls flat after that. All In All, I love that they're trying new sounds, but The White Stripes need to stick to their basics. C… Expand
Nov 21, 2010While the White Stripes are certainly not the most innovative rock band in history, they are still heads-and-shoulders above almost every other rock band from the last decade or so. While many of us have shared the thought that rock has died, this band has added an asterisk to the end of that thought. Red Rain, Blue Orchid, and Doorbell alone make this album worth a listen.
It's an album so strong and so unexpected that it may change the way people hear all its predecessors. And that's just a start. Listen long enough, and this album might change the way you hear lots of other bands, too.
A very strange album, which shreds the old White Stripes rulebook (no bass, just guitar and drums) and pushes into territories way beyond the blues and rock of their previous four records.

Nee oru kaadhal sangeedham with Raj aNNa
Lyrics & Chords
Finally, I'm posting after a gap of nearly three months. This lovely song is from the blockbuster movie "Naayagan". A mind blowing composition, to say the least!! The best part in this song (that I love) is the violin-flute interlude after the first stanza – sounds as beautiful as if it's trying to communicate something!! Raja sir would have done that part so aesthetically!!!
And this is my first collaboration with Raj aNNa, who needs no introduction here…. I'm really honoured to be singing with such an awesome singer, who is one of the great inspirations for the budding singers like me. Also, this happens to be the very first post after I've upgraded my recording gear!! So, I take this opportunity to thank my brother who bought me this professional mic & the other things :D Thanks da!!
Again, I would like to thank Raj aNNa for all his support, encouragement, motivation and of course his fabulous mixing :) Never thought my voice would sound this good :P So, the credit goes to him only… Eppavum ipdiyae mix paNNi kudunga Na en songs ku :P :))

Neve Campbell recently broke the silence around the possibility of a "Scream 5", and whoa daddy is it a big bomb that she dropped. Neve said, and you might want to sit down for this, that "I'm not sure they're going to make it". I know right? Exciting. Wait there's more. She went on to say that if approached about the film she'd "have a chat with them about it". There you have it. The film might not happen, but if it does she might be interested in talking about it.
Big news about "The Host 2", the sequel to the much loved Korean monster flick, has dropped on the tubes and I'm going to throw up I'm so excited to tell you about it. Word has it that Park Myung-chun will make his directorial debut with the film that has been slapped with a summer 2014 release date. If you hate subtitles, you now have about a year and a half to learn Korean.
Go punch someone in the face, kids, because the second half of season 3 of "The Walking Dead" hits the boob tube next month and a brand spankin new trailer has hit the interwebs. I don't think it really shows much, but if we're being honest I watched it with the sound muted because the wife and I are pretty hooked on "Friday Night Lights". Yeah it went off the air a few years back, but we're finally watching it on Netflix. It's really good. You should check it out.
I don't really know what this means because the trailer actually looked kind of good, but the "Carrie" remake has apparently been pushed from a March release date all the way to October 18th of this year. I like to think that the filmmakers are just trying to be nice because they know it's cold as crap in March and they'd rather I not have to leave the house. So, thanks guys.
If there's one thing that can really ruin a friendship it's shooting down a threesome offer with your friend's wife. Attacking your friend with a baseball bat after he shoots down the threesome offer can also ruin a friendship. There's a lot of things that can mess it up really. The world's an imperfect place.
Ah boy. I don't want to judge because I can't honestly say this isn't something I couldn't have done myself, but this father in Florida who left his 11 month old baby at a strip club might be the worst dad in the world.
We dissect the latest in the series and work out our women issues all at the same time. They call that efficiency.
Despite every fiber in my tiny brain telling me otherwise "Sucker Punch" is in no way a Skin-emax flick. Yes it is about a bunch of half naked women trapped in a prison but I guess that's where the similarities end. Anyway there's a new giant poster for it out and it's full of everything I said and more. I'm so confused.
"Ghost Adventures" sounds like possibly the worst show ever imagined but this Friday's might not be so awful. Kane Hodder, R.A. Mihailoff and Rick McCallum all join the team this week as they hunt for ghosts or look for bigfoot or some crap. I have no clue but there's a trailer for the episode you should watch it and get back to me.
Neve Campbell, don't think making out with Denise Richards could make up for all those Scream movies... or the trailer for the new indie flick "The Glass Man" which focuses on a couple who's all happy and stuff and then isn't for some reason. That's all I really got out of the trailer.
Danny Boyle kind of looks like the asshole guy from "Happy Gilmore" doesn't he? That has nothing to do with the fact that he recently confirmed he's got a "good idea" for "28 Months Later" but I still think it's important to point out. You're welcome.
There's nothing more exciting than hitting the open road and letting the wind blow in your hair. And what better way to enjoy such a feeling than cruising the highway in your electric wheelchair like this guy in Connecticut.
In what I'm guessing is a glimpse into my future here's a story about a couple who couldn't make it to the hospital fast enough so they decided to give birth to their child on the side of the Garden State Parkway in new Jersey. Hits a little too close to home really.
Today we've got the first trailer for "Scream 4" and if you liked the original film but have no interest in seeing what the original teenage heartthrobs look like 15 years later then you're in luck. Out with the old and in with the new seems to be the theme of things here as those dried up old tarts from "Melrose Place" have been replaced by today's hottest young starlets. I couldn't be more excited if they had 25% of the cast from "Heroes" in here. Wait they do? Jackpot!
In a recent interview, Neve Campbell drops hints that Wes Craven may indeed be back for "Scream 4". While not official, it could be good news for this franchise reboot.
Rueben Fleischer, director of "Zombieland" reveals in a recent interview that 3D is a definite possibility for the planned sequel.
Stephen King lets slip to David Cronenburg that he has ideas percolating for a sequel to his classic "The Shining". With King however, that could still be decades away.

I went to a midnight screening of SAW 6 last night. While I can hear the collective groan of most of you, I love those movies and this one is the best one yet. Lots of great kills, lots of smart twists and, weirdly, an incredibly persuasive health care reform stance. Jigsaw actually delivers a monologue about the insidiousness of the insurance companies and the need for change! Yes we can! Here's to hoping that SAW 7 3D will take a stance on high gas prices! "Greetings, Mr. Exxon. I'd like to play a game..."
Have you ever wanted to see Neve Campbell's moist, lip-quivering histrionics in the THIRD-DIMENSION? No? Well, sorry, but according to a Bloody Disgusting "exclusive", Scream 4 will be shot in 3-D. Speaking of 3-D, Roger Ebert just wrote a great piece about how if you like 3-D you are an idiot. This Scream news really brings his point home.
Steve Niles confirms that 30 Days of Night: Dark Days is currently in production and starring such acting luminaries as...well, all that matters is that Diora Baird is headlining. I don't have to be a vampire to know what of hers I'd like to suck! (To clarify, it would be her breasts. Possibly her vagina, depending on her bathing habits.)
Rob Zombie, perhaps the greatest (horror) director of all-time, announced on his Myspace that his soon-to-be-classic Halloween 2 will be returning to theaters next weekend, just in time for the holiday. That's great news but, really Rob, Myspace? It's hard for me to defend you when you're still using an archaic social networking device as your primary news delivery system. Can we get a Facebook, or a Blogspot or something? I'd be willing to do it for you...
One time, when I was around 12 years old and living in Oklahoma City, my dad sent me to the grocery store to pick up a few things for dinner. I would walk to the store because it was only a few blocks and, while the neighborhood wasn't the best, there was very rarely any violence. As I was walking back, carrying some steaks, some ice cream and a two-liter of diet Doc Shasta, two chipped-tooth teenage toughs came out from the side of an apartment and pulled a gun on me, demanding my groceries or else they would "put a cap in my foot". My dad, an ex-cop, would always sit on the front porch with a .38 (this is obviously where I get my paranoia from) and, when he saw these kids pull a gun on me, he reacted quickly and shot one of the kids in the back, while the other one took off running. Needless to say, dinner tasted great and the little bastard was paralyzed for life. Why do I bring this up? Because if this guy carried a .38, he'd be eating a delicious chicken dinner tonight.
In good health? Speak English or Russian? Have a background and work experience in medicine, biology, life support systems engineering, computer engineering, electronic engineering or mechanical engineering? Then you are the perfect candidate for a simulated 520-day Mars mission! I prefer just going to Rekall. KUATO LIVES!
Remember when science was all about fact, or at least searching for the truth? Dr. Holger Bech Nielsen and Dr. Masao Ninomiya have announced their theory that the giant atom-smashing Large Hadron Collider is being "jinxed from the future to save the world". Yep. Our best scientists believe that time-travelers are sabotaging the collider. In related news, guess who Obama just appointed as our new science czars!
In 1915, 30,000 women march on Fifth Avenue to advocate their right to vote. And so began the decline of America.

Agni Ki Udaan (Hindi) is a Hindi adaptation of Wings of Fire, an autobiography of Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the 11th President of India, popularly called India's 'Missile Man'.
Summary Of The Book
Agni Ki Udaan (Hindi) narrates the story of Dr. Abdul Kalam, from his humble beginnings in Rameshwaram, to the esteemed status as the President of a country. Kalam reflects upon his life and trials, accomplishments, failures and jubilations that paved the way to his success.
Giving a fresh perspective to the power of dreams, he speaks about how, as a young boy, he would look at the newspaper and promise himself, that one day his face would feature in it.
Once he graduated from Madras Institute of Technology (Chennai) with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, Kalam embarked upon his career at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and was in charge of building a hovercraft prototype. His background and to some extent, fate, led him to the nuclear research and missile programs such as Prithvi, Akash and Trishul. Special emphasis has been made on the successful launch of the Agni missile, an incident that set a milestone for India on an international scale. He also writes about his pivotal role in India's Pokhran project, the nuclear tests in 1998. Kalam also lived in America for six months for a NASA training program. One of his most noteworthy contributions was helping establish the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and pioneering the very first space launch vehicle program in India. He was also conferred the Padma Bhushan in 1981.
Apart from his personal life, Agni Ki Udaan (Hindi) also talks about India's status on defence and self-reliant technology, and its political environment. This immensely popular autobiography has been translated into over thirteen languages, and many copies have been sold worldwide.
About The Authors
Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the 11th President of India, is a scientist, author and administrator.
He has also authored India 2020: A Vision for the New Millennium, Mission India, Envisioning an Empowered Nation, Indomitable Spirit, and My Journey: Transforming Dreams into Actions.
Born in 1931, in Tamil Nadu, he procured a degree in aerospace engineering from MIT, Chennai. Before being appointed as the President, he had worked with the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) as an aerospace engineer. This role won him the Padma Bhushan in 1981 and the Padma Vibhushan in 1990. He served as the President from 2002-2007.
Arun Kumar Tiwari worked under Dr. Kalam on the Trishul and Akash missile projects.
Tiwari is now a non-medical professional who dabbles in contemporary health care, and is currently employed as the Director of the Cardiovascular Technology Institute, Hyderabad.

Packrats Plunders
Sterling silver, leaf-type-link, bracelet measuring a bit over ¾" wide and 6 ¾" long laid flat, not including the latch tab. Each of the 8 links has 6 dome or ball-shaped, interspersed with 5 oval-shaped sterling cabochons stacked on it. I assume they are silver soldered, but the method is not really evident. Please note, the latch has been modified, or worked on in the past. It does still latch securely, but may need just a bit more TLC when you operate it than if not modified...
