Synopsis: New York art dealer Arne Glimcher took his first crack at film directing with this florid, high-energy romance about two brothers who flee Cuba in the early 1950s to make it as musicians in the United States. Cynthia Cidre wrote the literate screenplay adapted from Oscar Hijuelos's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love. Cesar (Armand Assante) and Nestor Castillo (Antonio Banderas) are popular musicians on Havana's club circuit, but when they make enemies of the wrong people, ... Full Synopsis

He knew that when it came to true love, there was no such thing as a second chance. But now, this city girl's feisty flirtations and blond beauty have gotten under his skin--and into his soul--and he's begun to think maybe he could have forever...again.

© Copyright 2014 Rockdale Citizen
I am writing to commend two very fine writers on the Citizen staff. Darrell Huckaby and Furman Bisher are world class and are as talented as any columnists in the country today.
I first subscribed to the Rockdale Citizen in 1975 and began reading Huckaby when he first started. Through the years I have watched him improve and become a more entertaining writer each year. I think he has become as good as Lewis Grizzard and may one day be the next Mark Twain of our generation.
Furman Bisher has no equal in sports writing. His vast knowledge and years of associating with the stars and legends of so many different sports cannot be matched by any writers today. Name any sport and he has personal stories that will entertain.
I hope that all readers of your paper realize that they are fortunate to be able to enjoy the writings of two of the world's best writers -- in a small local newspaper. I would like to thank both of these men for years of entertainment. I look forward to many more years from both.
-- Larry and Nancy Loy

Highlands Reserve Vacation Rentals with Internet Access(218)

Recent Highlands Reserve Reviews
Wonderful home with more then enough room for our family of 4 and then some as the 4 bedrooms are spacious and we enjoyed the open design concept. Very clean and well maintained. Home is near amenities such as Walmart Super Centre, restaurants, and shopping to name a few. We had to call management company once as electric cut off and Adam promptly arrived and after a few calls the situation was rectified. Adam was a pleasure to deal with and knowledgable about the area. The only item worth noting is if you enjoy spending a lot of time in the pool at back of house they have cut down many trees to make way for adding underground pipes so the noise of cars driving on the main US27 can get through as trees helped block the noise previously but when inside the house you can't hear the traffic just while outside by pool area. Thanks again Rick as we did have an awesome 2 weeks at your home and loved the new flat screen TV for our movie nights. The Collingwood Family Calgary, Alberta
family vacation 2014
Great house. Great location. Owners very accommodating. At the last minute we added our youngest daughter and her seven month old baby and requested a playpen. When we arrived they had a portable crib, high chair and stroller at the house available to us for the whole week. Truly an enjoyable family vacation for all of us. The teen and pre teen enjoyed as well. Would recommend to anyone. Within one mile of grocery store. Would stay again when in the area. Great price and accommodation. Thank you for sharing your home with us. There does need to be some minor repairs to sliding glass doors,blender needs to replaced. No other complaints. Thanks again for sharing your home with us.
Brilliant villa.
Brilliant villa - amazing 3 weeks would recommend the villa. Owners were excellent at promptly replying to any queries we had. The kids loved the pool and the games room. We would hope to come back again and rate this villa very highly.

Congressman John Linder surprised everyone over the weekend with the news that he won't run for re-election this fall. The Republican from Gwinnett County was first elected to the U.S. House in 1992.
If we can take a cue from the large GOP field to replace Nathan Deal, who's retiring from Congress to run for governor, there will be a lot of Republicans interested in a solidly Republican seat (it went for McCain 60 percent to 39 percent in 2008 and for Bush 70-30 in 2004).
Then again, there is an X-factor involved in a seat representing Gwinnett County: redistricting.
Georgia is projected to gain a 14th seat in Congress after this year's Census and the subsequent reapportionment process. And no district in Georgia has seen faster population growth than Linder's: just over 43 percent since 2000, according to 2008 population estimates. It doesn't take a gerrymanderer to see that the new seat is likely to be squeezed into that northeast corner of metro Atlanta.
Will potential candidates wrestle with that factor as they decide whether to throw their hats in the ring? On the one hand, incumbency has its advantages, even if the incumbent's district is altered. So, it would be easier to run in 2012 having won in 2010. And losing in 2010 could still increase a candidate's name recognition for 2012 when there's a brand-new seat to run for.
On the other hand, potential candidates who are in the Legislature might prefer to stay there and have a hand in drawing the new maps — and then run.
Redistricting will be one of the leading political fights in Georgia over the next two years. Consider Linder's retirement one of the first fronts.

The rats are leaving the sinking ship that is the USA. Debt, debt, and more debt, both public and private will result in a massive decline in the American lifestyle. How ironic, the architect of America's decline, Dick Cheney, used the phrase "the American lifestyle is not negotiable," when launching two foreign wars that would ultimately bankrupt the country. Remember, when Dick and his pet puppet President George took office, we had a surplus and the entire National debt was projected to be paid off in 2018. Satan just gave Dicky an extension on his contract for his Evil work in destroying America.

Al Gore Admits Errors in Climate Claims
Former Vice President Al Gore admits that mistakes have been made by the scientific community regarding the issue of climate change.
In an op-ed piece for The New York Times, Gore said: "It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University of East Anglia in Britain showed that scientists besieged by an onslaught of hostile, make-work demands from climate skeptics may not have adequately followed the requirements of the British freedom of information law."

Despite arguments to the contrary, the fair tax is much to complicated to explain in this type of format…that being said, what the big selling point is that the 15 to 20% in embedded taxes will go away with the Fair tax…. Please tell me, What business is going to willingly give back 20% to their customers when they can put that money right into their pockets?????

The problem with the mis named fair tax is that it double taxes those of us who have saved our money. We already paid taxes on that money, and now you dead beat scum want to tax us again with a jacked up sales tax when we spend our money, while not taxing yourselves on you current income.

Tar & Feathers: Almost all of my savings are in untaxed, qualified plans. How did your savings all get taxed, did you fail to take advantage of the several different qualified (untaxed) mechanisms, like IRAs and 401(k)s? There's about $3T in 401(k)s right now, none of which has been taxed even once, let alone double taxed.
Painful: any time expenses go down across an industry, some industry players try to keep their prices higher, and for awhile, they get away with it. But eventually, someone lowers their prices to get a competitive advantage, and son everyone follows suit or lose business. A few years ago, there was a (I think) $15 ticket tax for airlines. The tax expired, and the airlines quietly went on collecting the $15 as airfare. But that lasted about 2 days, as news that the tax had been repealed, after which all the airlines dropped their temporarily inflated prices. Why does every gas station on the same corner have the same price for gas?

Churchill's MOM – Tax on the stupid? If you're so smart, how about you call Boortz around 9:15 tomorrow morning and explain that to him? Why not, because he'd eat your lunch and leave you bleeding on the side of the road. You know it, in fact, we all know it.
March 1st, 2010

Found it:
At the beginning of 1996, profits and traffic in the airline industry were affected by the expiration and reinstatement of a 10 percent federal excise tax on domestic airline tickets. Congress let the tax expire at the end of 1995 but reinstated it on August 17, 1996. The airlines lowered prices during this time and traffic increased—as did profits.

I have been to several debates between Boortz and Allen Buckley ( last year's Libertartian senate canadate) and Boortz came off a fool.

Dave, Boortz couldn't eat anyone's lunch if they have over a room temperature IQ. He would just hang up on them. A few years ago Boortz lost a debate with Cynthia Tucker on gun control. How many people do you know that would lose a debate with her?

Well, Churchill's Mom, why is it surprising that Reed would run? We seem to have an affinity for crooked politicians in this state.

OK…. Do tell..when the airlines imposed a Fee ( tax) on luggage a couple of years ago under the guise of off setting the increased fuel cost. At the time gas was 3.25+ a gallon. Now gas is in the 2.50 to 2.60 range, and the baggage surcharge is still in place. But you seem to be one of those that believes that a business owners would NEVER stoop to squeezing pennies out of every available pocket. WAKE UP!!!!

I like some of the aspects of a national sales tax, however, i believe that the negative impact it would put on a local municipalities ability to borrow money for profects outweighs the positives it has in other areas.
All we really need to do is get rid of tax credits, deductions, and other things that complicate the tax code and make it easier for people to not pay. Simply make it so, "If you make this, your tax is this" regardless of your lifestyle, charitable contributions, number of children, marital status, ect..

There are a number of reasons that the Linder/Boortz sales tax proposal (I hate calling it a FairTax) is a bad idea, but the three that stand out for me is that it would result in significantly larger deficits, higher taxes for the middle class, and folks getting zinged in years when their spending necessarily exceeds their income such as when buying a new house or car, incurring major medical expenses, or loss of income due to a job loss–in effect, they'd be paying taxes on amounts that exceed their income.
The disturbing thing about this tax is that it's being advertised as a 23 percent tax (a poll tested number), but most supporters don't realize that this rate is fixed only for the first year. The legislation has a formula that automatically adjusts the rate based upon actual revenues in the previous fiscal year. Assume Georgia, for example, had an automatically adjusted sales tax these past couple of years. With revenues falling, that rate would be going up at a time when Georgians can least afford to pay it.

6:59 pm
Tar&Feather: Good for you! No I don't think that the only savings are in 401(k)s, and I make much more than is allowed in 401(k), too. But the hard truth is that most people a) don't save at all (~1% is a high figure for the USA, traditionally) or b) save only in their qualified plans. That's why I asked–it's unusual that people have taxed cash lying around. I've got my 6 month cushion in cash assets, but that's about it, everything else is in land, etc.
If you have cash lying around, then yes, a consumption tax will impact you. If you have invested the cash, and if the CG taxes and income taxes on dividends have been eliminated, you would not be hit on the unrealized earnings and future dividends by such a tax. And you certainly wouldn't be subject to double taxes on future earnings (regular income).
P.S. I can understand if you dislike the FairTax (well not really, but will grant you your position) but why the name calling and *really* bad words?

Now if the voters of Cobb, Douglas, Clayton (choke, cough, hack) and the other folks in that district can get rid of David "The Slug" Scott in November we can truly start getting things back on the right track.
I haven't seen anybody seriously declare against him in this race yet…. Why not?
"The Slug" lives in a cesspool of liberal politics. He claims to be a Blue Dog but he isn't a conservative democrat by ANY stretch of the wildest lunatic's imagination. He's out there on the fringe fellow citizens!

We need some new ideas and some different way of doing things. What is being done is not working. And to some I will say I know a lot about economics. Most American ignore it and few schools teach much.

The goal was to keep Franklin County safe, but it came with a cost; a .3% sales tax addition. Proposition 1 would have raised millions to help the Sheriff, Pasco police and other local police stations. Now come layoffs-- seven total positions in the Sheriff's department gone, but voters might have thought we're safe enough.
"I guess if we have shootings every week and stabbings then people would probably vote for it," says Sheriff Richard Lathim. "But we don't want to go there to get people to vote for it either."
Could the defeat also be a problem of marketing? Not enough explanation as to what Prop 1 would actually do.
"The voters have a right to vote however way and may be the county needs to do a better job of publicizing why they need it," says Pasco resident Kathy Naef.
"It's a safety precaution everything else they need the room they're overcrowded in the jail from what I understand," says fellow Pasco resident Bert Proctor. "It's better to have them in there where they need to be then out roaming around."
But that's exactly what the Sheriff fears.
"W'ed have to limit who could come to jail. They would just have to be cited or reports filed with they prosecutor and charged later and brought in," Lathim says. "It starts deteriorating you're effectiveness as a law enforcement officer if you cant have that resources of putting people in jail."
The Sheriff says if the jail continues to hold around 100 extra inmates like it currently is, then they will start to limit who will be put there. As for the layoffs for the Sheriff, two law enforcement deputies will be let go and two corrections officers will also be laid off.
Kevin Still and Sonya Symonds, the two corrections officers arrested for drug trafficking have been fired, and that will save two other positions that would have been cut.

Your Tampon or Mine?
For generations, the poignant discussion of "Now you are a woman" has been followed closely by the decidedly less touching conversation: "Here, shove this up your hootie."
Bring on the Boys! (A Father's Nightmare)
My husband's face darkens every time my teenage daughter mentions a boy she likes. You see, having been a boy himself, he knows what they're after. So it is my duty to keep my husband from purchasing a 12-gauge as our daughter blossoms.
Anonymous Again!
My tween just graduated from 5th grade. At her ceremony, I was fairly bursting with joy, although not for all the reasons you assume. Oh sure, I was proud of her accomplishments and filled with the bittersweet realization that my little girl is growing up, et cetera, et cetera. But to be honest, I was equally thrilled with the prospect of her entering a middle school where I am a complete unknown.
Mother's Liquid Helper
Does this sound familiar? You're at a function -- birthday party, open house, boutique sale -- where other moms in your social circle are likely to be. Expressions of expectant curiosity register on all the faces until someone finally says what's on everybody's mind: "Margaritas?"
Mommy the Loser
Lately, around my house, the phrase "You're going to regret that!" has been used a lot. By me.
Pick Your Clique
In high school I was part of the crowd that did all the school plays. We wore Danskin leotards with our jeans and spent lunch periods improvising deeply esoteric skits in the commons. We called ourselves "theatre geeks." The rest of the school called us "those weirdos."
The Lying Game
Anyone who has never been lied to by their teenager, take one step forward. Not so fast, Anyone!

From Muck and the Mires to Lady Gaga to Fleetwood Mac, Boston hops with hot shows - 1 Comments
The perfect music schedule is 2.5 shows a week. But perfection is impossible, so I'll be happy if you catch one show a week this winter — one night for rock, six left for dinner with friends, date night, Thai take-out, long-distance phone calls, laundry and "Downton Abbey."
Allow me to lay out one potential (and glorious) itinerary starting this week and ending in April — when summer, tailgating and shed shows are on the horizon.

Hey everyone. :)
It's October 1st and our favorite guy's birthday is in 29 days. Matt turns 33 on October 30th!
I've been approached by quite a few people asking me if, as runner of Matthew-Morrison.net, I could organize something like Jayma Mays' fans did on her birthday.
After thinking long about this, I've decided it'd be really cool to make something for Matt's birthday! I am in contact with Matt's reps at Mercury Records, and I'm 100% sure I could get the video delivered straight to Matthew.
I won't be doing this on my own: a friend of mine and long-standing Matt fan, Erin, will be helping me along in organizing submissions and putting the video together.
Here are the rules:
1. You can send anything from a short video message, to a picture, artwork, letter, anything that would fit in a video. Just remember, videos need to be 15 seconds or shorter, in order to fit everyone in. Anything longer will be cut down. Preferred video formats are .avi or .mov.
2. Deadline is October 15. Anything coming on a later date will not be used- we need some time to organize.
3. Email to use for submissions and questions is email@example.com.
Want to help us celebrate Matt's birthday? Jump in!
Edit: email address fixed- I apologize.

Final day at the Villa
Another day to spend largely relaxing and playing, even if there was by necessity a bit of packing involved. This time the weather cooperated, and we had the best weather of the week.
We finished our day with a final game of boules, with Sam having roundly thrashed us ...
Lazy lazing
... Osteria del Moro......the dark restaurant!! Within a few minutes of us sitting the whole of Marco's family descended upon us....Marco, his wife, daughter and three grandchildren......are we happy, everything alright and we are cooking you something for dinner tomorrow....will bring it round in the morning!!
Dinner was fine, Oliver scoffed down some ravioli as if it was his last meal......all too full for ...
A Day at The Villa
A day doing nothing, relaxing, swimming, indulging in the odd drink, was on the cards.
It's nice when a plan comes together.
The weather didn't cooperate entirely, but there was enough sunshine to make the swimming and games of piggy in the middle ...
A fine day at the beach
... The beach is a pebble beach, with some areas of sand, and beautiful clean clear water. Although the Adriatic seemed calm, there were periods where the wind picked up when we almost had waves! And though the sun shone almost constantly, the temperature never hit the heights that it had last year. By 4ish we decided that we'd had enough, and so drove home, for another dip in the pool, and a barbeque'd dinner. Lovely ...
And ... Relax ...
... the boys played table football while I retreated for a warm bath and a good book.....only to return for a dip in the pool a couple of hours later......sun streaming through the trees. Julian not only then painted my toenails but also cooked dinner....bliss. Prosecco and silence later, a lovely end to the day........beach weather tomorrow ...

Goodwill Industries in South Bend hosted mobile blood drive Friday. Over 30 Goodwill employees took part in the blood drive.
Blood Donor Recruitment Specialist Melissa Newton says each donor will save up to three lives. "Without companies hosting us for blood drives," said Newton. "We would
have a really difficult time maintaining an adequate supply of blood for
our community."
43% of blood collected in 2012 was from mobile drives.
The South Bend Medical Foundation is always in need of blood but says there is a specific need for type O negative blood, which is a universal donor.
For more information about donating blood, you can call the Medical Foundation at (574)234-1157, or go to www.givebloodnow.com

(Reuters) U.S. law enforcement authorities have shut down "Silk Road," an anonymous Internet marketplace for illegal drugs like heroin and cocaine and criminal activities such as murder for hire, and arrested its alleged owner.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday it arrested Silk Road owner, Ross William Ulbricht, 29, known online as "Dread Pirate Roberts," in San Francisco on Tuesday, according to court filings.
Ulbricht, who holds an advanced degree in chemical engineering, appeared in federal court on Wednesday and a bail hearing was set for Friday.
His lawyer Brandon LeBlanc, a public defender, declined to comment.

Our new Espresso Aged Dark Balsamic Vinegar is amazingly complex with layers of authentic espresso and dark roasted coffee. It makes a fantastic glaze or B-B-Q base for pork or beef and is exquisite used in an "affogato float" which calls for one part espresso balsamic to four parts vanilla bean ice cream. Our aged Espresso Balsamic is amazingly complex with layers of sweet espresso flavor. A savory and seductive multi-faceted compliment perfect for meats and rich cheeses. Use as you would Dark Chocolate to drizzle on grilled fruits, such as peaches or pears for an extra special flavor.
Posted by Kelly on 30th Aug 2012
Im addicted! I used the espresso basalmic over frozen vanilla yogurt with sliced strawberries and chopped pecans/walnuts...it is delicious. I have it every night. Just placed my 3rd order. Love it!
Posted by Cristina on 7th Jul 2012
I used this espresso balsamic on the most amazing salad ever - with organic baby greens and spinach, strawberries, walnuts, and Gorgonzola. So, so yummy..
Posted by Unknown on 1st Jun 2012
This is the best Balsamic I've ever had. Definately can taste the hint of espresso...and I do not drink coffee...so you know this has to be good.

I used vindaloo curry powder and added a little extra tumeric and cinnamon. I cut the salt in half, and then used the other half -- mixed with some sugar -- to sprinkle on the nuts as they cooled to give them a real salty-sweet burst. Gave as holiday gifts and no one that I gave them to was able to resist them enough to even get them home! Very stciky, but very very good.

Kader was a student at a French university in Paris in 1961. Though we know little about him, it is possible that he was the French-born son of an Algerian immigrant who had moved to France after having served for the French army in one of the world wars. Kader's life was not easy: he lived a poor existence in the French shantytowns, or bidonevilles, with a manual job and no prospects of a good education. Yet many Algerian immigrants hoped this was still better than the poverty and prospect of unemployment to be found in war-ravaged Algeria, which in 1961 was in the middle of an ongoing conflict and in the process of decolonization from France. But that, in many ways, was not the case.
Algerians living in France faced constant and clear danger. On the one hand, they faced daily frisking from the French police, brutal violence and blind discrimination by the general population, and on the other continuous pressure from the National Liberation Front of Algeria (FLN), eager to recruit French-Algerians to fight for their cause. Kader and many of his peers were the de facto victims of a transnational conflict that would culminate in mainland France, on October 17, 1961, in what is nowadays known as the Paris Massacre of 1961.
The Paris Massacre of 1961 rarely makes headlines in France's cultural narrative. It is not included in the textbooks that provide an overview of French, or even Algerian, history in either country, never mind the international academic community. But before we try to understand why such an event has been erased from public memory and textbooks, it is important to understand its origins and how it unfolded. As mentioned previously, in 1961 the French empire was in its last gasps. The jewel of the Empire fought back; the FLN organized strikes and sparked a revolutionary war that had France trembling, yet not ready to give up. The attacks of the FLN were not limited to the presence of the French army, but had spread quietly all over mainland France as well.
Throughout 1961 and, in particular, in the days preceding October 17, the attacks of the FLN had been targeting the French police force rather violently—merciless killings in the streets, beatings as violent as the ones that many Algerians living in France were subject to in their everyday life. At the same time, the FLN was recruiting. Though many French-Algerians wanted French citizenship, they never got it. They had built their lives in France, lived on French soil, some even fell in love and married French men and women, yet they were not really considered French citizens. Rather, the French government had created a specific category, called the French Muslims of Algeria (FMA), to distinguish them from the rest of the French population. The FLN had exploited such a distinction to feed the nationalist feelings of the Algerian population in France.
These events worried the French government, and in particular the French Minister of Internal Affairs, Maurice Bourgès-Maunoury. With the French National Police, the notorious Maurice Papon at its head, on October 16, 1961, they imposed a curfew only on the category of French citizens dubbed the FMA. This curfew meant that those French citizens of Algerian nationality were not allowed to leave their homes after 8pm. If they did, they would be arrested. But the French branch of the FLN could not tolerate such an insult. To counterattack the inhumane laws the French government put in place, they organized a peaceful protest and urged the Algerian population of Paris to gather en masse in the streets of Paris after the curfew, bearing no weapons whatsoever. And gather they did. Women, men, adults and students flooded the main streets of Paris, by all accounts, unarmed and peaceful.
But this protest made the French police uneasy. The French government gave the police force carte blanche authority in the matter of dealing with these protesters. Every Arab-looking individual would be arrested and then beaten. In the streets, the police fired shots that killed a number of Algerians, though the death toll was never confirmed. According to the French government, fewer than 20 were killed; according to the FLN, more than 200. Some were even thrown in the freezing Seine to drown. No one was ever found guilty for this tragedy. The official journalistic accounts and numbers collected by the French governments are now part of the French archives, to be opened only in 2020.
There is, however, a twist to the story. One could consider whether the French government was justified in their approach in imposing a curfew and giving the police carte blanche. It is just as important to remember that though this particular protest was in fact peaceful, the FLN had harmed and attacked several police officers in the past. There was no reason for the police to believe that this protest would be harmless. The ultimate problem was not whether the French government had legitimate concern, but rather, where it found the moral and political authority to single-out one part of the French citizenry and treat them like second-class citizens. The reason why this massacre conflicts with the rest of French history lies precisely in the legitimacy of the government's actions, with respect to the nature of the republic that they were leading. In a way, even the citizenship status of those Algerians forced at a sort of home-arrest does not justify their actions, especially the actions of a self-proclaimed democratic republic. This conflict, buried forty years ago, reminds the public of the ever-present conundrum—liberty versus security.
Nevertheless, the Paris Massacre was about French citizenship, and this fact begs the question: how can such an episode, which happened in the heart of Paris, while the rest of the city was sleeping, have been so easily forgotten? For the French government, forgetting and erasing this episode was crucial. They had been building a narrative of the French nation, in which the empire was not lauded. And even more, they had been building a narrative of a nation where the French-Algerians were not really present, as they had not participated in the making of the French Republic. In the end, creating a coherent story about the French Republic, as with every other nation, is about remembering, just as much as it is about forgetting and sweeping under the rug those moments that do not fit the narrative.
This particular moment in history, one that has passed unaware to the eye of mainstream imperial or even Western history at large, is an example of how historical amnesia builds the narratives of two countries: France and Algeria. For France, it is the uncomfortable truth on two fronts. On the one hand, it would like to be remembered as the epitome of freedom and democracy. The values of the republic, the ideals of the French Revolution, and the institutions of the Fifth Republic remain intact because people believe them to be efficient. But is a republic efficient when its own citizens are denied the right to protest and are murdered under the orders of its own ministers?
On the other hand, the Paris Massacre is a bitter reminder that issues of citizenship remained unsolved. France has tried very hard to build the image of a coherent nation, with one population under the tricolor flag, a population that is united by its history as much as by its culture—in short, a nation of uniformity. But this image is somewhat false. The question of French citizenship is still a raw spot in 2014, as it was in 1961, when French citizens faced discrimination and were forced to give up part of their civil liberties. To this day, children born in French territories to immigrant parents are not legally French citizens. They have to wait until they are 18, and even then they have to apply. Not all are successful, despite having spent most of their lives in France.
In Algeria, historical narrative is about the people they forgot. The problem with the French-Algerian citizens is that they were never really fully French, but most of those participating in the protests were not Algerians either. The Algerian government never publicized this event, even though it would have suited their plans to portray the French as the villain. The Paris Massacre was omitted from the national narrative, in large part because it was a reminder that these two nations shared a fundamental similarity, despite the attempts of the Algerian government to pretend otherwise. It is also a reminder that the Algerian government might have responsibilities beyond that of Algeria's own territory. When trying to rebuild a nation ravaged by war and colonial legacies, what happens on the other side of the Mediterranean might not be a priority.
Though cliché, history is written by the winners, and the general narrative is transcribed by the feelings and actions of the man on the spot. For countries like France, it is about Charlemagne, Louis XIV, Robespierre, Napoleon, Charles De Gaulle. But the real history, the one that changes nations, even through omission, is done through the middlemen as they challenge the status quo. People like Kader, whose stories we do not know and whose lives are not outlined in textbooks, are the ones that lived the Paris Massacre. It is important to remember that it is not only about the sacrifice, or the people that died and suffered. The FLN and its protest would be nothing without the 30,000 that showed support for its cause that October night. They were the ones who actively challenged the French government, who through their actions proved that the divide would make them second-class citizens, but not passive victims. History is nothing without the masses and those who fight for the leaders on the covers of history books. It is a pity that this is so often forgotten.
The Paris Massacre of 1961 has only recently resurfaced in the French national consciousness. In 2005, a film appeared that described the event and the conflict: Nuit Noire. This narrative film follows the fictional lives of the many participants in this massacre: French-Algerian citizens and their daily struggles and French policemen, scared of the organized attacks that the FLN brought to their homes. It is a dark film that describes the lives of those who lived it. Following its release, the French newspaper Le Monde was among the first to bring attention to the Paris Massacre and what it described as the night that cadavers flooded the Seine. Critics lauded the sobriety of Nuit Noire, pointing out that it did not favor or pick sides, rather displaying the faults and excesses of each. Other stories and books followed Nuit Noire, all attempts to reach the people, not just the media. It is no coincidence that Nuit Noire was first released as a television series, before hitting cinemas as a full-length film.
These attempts have been well received by French media, and yet the average French citizen still does not know much about the Paris Massacre. Even if they did, it would probably not rupture their notion of French citizenship, or even what it means to be French. Stories like the Paris Massacre of 1961 are omitted from mainstream French history—or any history for that matter—because these omissions are used as a tool to keep the nation together. History is continuously written and rewritten by academics, as it always has been, and the debate on nationhood and memory seems to remain in the ivory tower, rather than becoming the problems of the ordinary citizen. The Paris Massacre of 1961 is a prime example of that. It challenged the French government then, and it still challenges the government now. It does not appear in mainstream school textbooks, as it displays a conflict within French history, a moment when what it meant to be "French" was not clear: a moment when the French were fighting the French. In such instances, memory is constantly used by government, with the perhaps unconscious help of academia, to group and divide, to justify its own actions. The problem, in the end, remains not just how to make people remember, but how to make them care. The Paris Massacre might have sparked an academic debate, but it seems to have been forgotten again, just as easily as it was remembered.

Jide Ajani, Political Editor
culled from VANGUARD, Wednesday, May 19, 2004
LAGOS-The 1962 State of Emergency in Western Region
started with an intra-party crisis between Obafemi
Awolowo, leader of Action Group, AG, and his colleague
of the same political party, Samuel Ladoke Akintola.
According to one of the reports of that era by Nelson
Ottah, it was one fight which was to rock the
foundations of not only the AG, but the entire
Nigerian polity at that time. advertisement
According to Ottah, the Action Group which has, for
the past ten years (1952 - 1962), spared political
Nigeria the spectacle of public quarrels, departed
from this tradition on February 2 (1962). It proved
that as a party of human beings, it too has its own
contradictions - high ambitions and lack of patience,
insistent idealism in conflict with insistent realism,
courage and cowardice, intoxication and stupor,
ideological headiness and ideological surrenders,
intellectual strength and intellectual weakness,
pettiness and grandeur, love and hate, and mutual
trust and mutual suspicion.
To many students of Nigerian party politics, the
disagreement that erupted into an open quarrel during
the annual congress of the Action Group at Jos,
Northern Nigeria, on February 2, 1962, was no sudden
thing. It had been long in maturing. In fact, it
started gathering force immediately Chief Obafemi
Awolowo, federal president of the party, gave up the
premiership of Western Nigeria to seek election in the
federal parliament.
By giving up the premiership of Western Nigeria and
retaining his post as the head of the AG, he, like Dr
Nnamdi Azikiwe before him, created a condition in
which he found himself as the leader of the party
outside a government that is formed by the same party.
And like Dr Azikiwe, he soon realised that the
parliamentary body of the AG, of which he is not a
member, only sees him as a mandarin who should be
humoured when possible, but who will not bring down
the heavens if ignored.
And that the clash should, when it came, be between
Chief Awolowo, federal president of the Action Group,
and Chief Samuel Akintola premier of Western Nigeria
and the leader of the Action Group parliamentary
party, was simply because each of the two men
represented two powers in conflict. The disparate
powers that involved them in their open conflict were
the same disparate powers that involved Dr Azikiwe,
then national president o the NCNC, in a similar open
conflict with Professor Eyo Ita, the leader of
government business and. of the NCNC parliamentary
body in Eastern Nigeria.
The first open quarrel between the two leaders took
place shortly before Akintola went on his economic
mission to Europe in 1961. The quarrel occurred when
Chief Akintola turned down the men Chief Awolowo
nominated for the mission and substituted them with
his nominees. This revolt was overlooked by Chief
Awolowo and the mission was able to set off without
many people knowing that anything was wrong.
After the economic mission, the next thing that
happened to widen the gulf between them was the issue
of the renewal of board appointments. Chief Akintola
simply cleared the old board members in Western
Nigeria's public corporations like the printing
corporations, the housing corporation and the radio
and television corporation, and put his own nominees
in their places. He felt it was his right as the
premier and leader of the Action Group's parliamentary
party to do so.
In the words of Ottah, "I understand that Chief
Awolowo, on his part, managed by the skin of his teeth
to side-step an open quarrel on the matter. Another
thing Chief Akintola tried to do was to stop huge
loans his government and its controlled organisations
had been making to certain individual AG leaders. But
Chief Awolowo successfully resisted the move. Another
thing that brought them into an almost open quarrel
was the decision of the government of Western Nigeria
to increase the assumed local contribution in Western
Nigeria's secondary grammar schools. It was because
Chief Akintola and his government made the increase,
in opposition to Chief Awolowo's wish, that all the
Nigerian newspapers directly or indirectly controlled
by the AG so unanimously attacked the increase despite
the fact that individuals and public organs that are
normally opposed to the party welcomed it.
"That Chief Akintola climbed down on the increase was
because of the sudden realisation that to insist on it
in the face of concerted attack from the AG leadership
and newspapers would greatly injure the government in
Western Nigeria. As Chief Awolowo himself publicly
admitted, another issue that helped greatly to soil
the relationship between the leadership of the AG was
whether the party should or should not drop its
ideology of democratic socialism. On February 9 -
after their open rupture had lasted for eight days -
it was announced by a meeting of the elders of the AG
that the quarrel between Chief Obafemi Awolowo and
Chief Samuel Akintola "has been amicably settled".
>From all indications - for instance, from the
inability of the elders of the party to resolve the
ideological differences within the party, from their
inability to reverse the Jos election that stripped
Chief Akintola and his co-adjusters of their national
offices in the party, and their silence on the very
important issue of whether or not Chief Akintola and
his government should continue to accept orders from
the party - there are still many explosive issues that
were not resolved by the elders and that are bound to
bring the two men into another head-on clash in
Ottah, who was able to penetrate the AG and the
government of Western region in his drive to get first
hand information about the goings-on, for his
publication DRUM, maintained that it was this bitter
inter-personal quarrel between the two leaders which
created other further tension, culminating in the
declaration of emergency rule in the region. A blow by
blow account of what transpired in the Western Region,
leading up to the May 29, 1962 declaration of a state
of emergency is here presented:
- February 1: The annual Convention of the AG in Jos,
Northern Region (in today's Plateau State) saw Chief
Akintola, together with Chief Ayo Rosiji, then Federal
Secretary of the Action Group, as well as four
ministers walk out.
- February 9: Elders of AG, meeting in Ibadan,
announce that the feud between Chief Akintola, Chief
Awolowo and the AG is resolved. According to available
records, something interesting heralded the month of
May, 1962, just as the same fate has befallen Plateau
State in the same month of May, some 42years after.
The quarrel which the leadership of the AG told
Nigerians had been resolved was resolved in the breach
rather than the observance. Firstly, it was obvious
that both men still harboured a great amount of animus
for each other.
Secondly, rather than engage activities which would
lead to the softening of ground, each continued along
his path of rigidity on the many issues which had been
keeping them apart and tearing the AG into shreds.
Added to these were the action of supporters of
Awolowo and Akintola, actions which merely served to
exacerbate the already messy relationship. In fact, at
that time, the quality of the encounter between
supporters of Awolowo and Akintola was less than
And the leaders did not help matters. For instance,
Awolowo, even against the counsel of some leaders of
the party like Chief Rotimi Williams, QC, that the
former should drop the idea of visiting Oshun
Division, from whence cometh Akintola, obviously in a
show of strength. Chief Akintola, cognisant of the
implications of an Awolowo visit to Oshun Division,
was said to have rushed after him and eventually
catching up with him in Oshun Division.
- MAY 19, there was another effort at resolving the
crisis. A joint meeting of AG, compriising its Western
Region and Mid-Western Region exco met to resolve the
problem. After listening to Awolowo, who presented a
24-point charge against his deputy, asks Chief
Akintola (in spite of his apologies) to resign his
premiership of Western Nigeria and deputy leadership
of the party.
- May 20, Akintola writes to the governor of the
region and to the speaker of the region's House of
Assembly calling for the dissolution of the House and
for an emergency meeting of the House to test his
popularity. But Akintola's requests were not met.
- May 21, the AG parliamentary body elects Dauda
Soroye Adegbenro, an Alhaji, as the new premier of
Western Nigeria. He is sworn-in immediately.
But Akintola also had his own agenda and scheme. Not
one to be outdone, Akintola, a few hours later, calls
on Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, the Prime Minister,
requesting the sacking of Adegbenro. But the politics
of that era was one of push-me-I-push-you. Just a few
hours after Chief Akintola's call, the governor
announces that he, as governor, has sacked Chief
Akintola as premier of Western Region. After
demonstrating political power, it was time to rely on
judicial interpretation. And so, Akintola filed an
action seeking to restrain the governor from removing
him as premier at an the Ibadan High Court.
- May 22, Governor-General Nnamdi Azikiwe, who all the
while was on vacation in Nsukka, Eastern Nigeria,
returns to Lagos for what was dubbed "urgent state
matters". Another report at that time was quoted as
announcing that Chief Akintola, in the company of his
supporters, has left the Premier's Lodge for the
Premier's Office.
On getting there, the main gate to his office had been
locked. He, however, forces his way in. The chronology
of events, as captured in Volume 2 of a publication,
Nigeria, The Birth of Africa's Greatest Country, goes
as follows:
The following day,
- MAY 23 Premier Adegbenro names his new cabinet. On
the same day, the Ibadan High Court hears Akintola's
motion and adjourns the hearing till June 5. Chief
Rotimi Williams, Queens Counsel, QC, is, as a result
of a preliminary objection raised by Chief Ladipo
Moore, another QC, counsel for Chief Akintola, refused
permission by the court to continue as counsel for the
- MAY 23: Chief Akintola's daughter flies to London,
with her father's petition against the governor for
the queen.
- MAY 24: Dr. Okpara, Premier of Eastern Nigeria,
announces that his government will not recognise
Adegbenro's government of the West.
- May 25: There is a riot in the Western House of
Assembly. Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa speaks about the
riot in nation-wide broadcast during which he also
announces that the federal House of Representatives
and Senate will hold emergency sessions on May 29.
- May 26: An adjourned meeting of both the Western
House of Assembly and the Western House of Chiefs is
called off.
- May 27: A delegation of the obas of Western Nigeria
calls on the prime minister to ask for more time to
try to settle the dispute in the Action Group.
- MAY 28: The Action Group central executive council
expels Chief Akintola and Chief Ayo Rosiji from the
- May 29: A state of emergency is declared throughout
Western Nigeria after the meeting of the Federal House
of Representatives and the Federal Senate.
In the evening Dr Majekodunmi, the federation's
Minister of Health, is appointed administrator of
Western Nigeria. Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, signs thirteen
Emergency Regulation Acts that give effect to the
state of emergency in Western Nigeria.
The governor of Western Nigeria leaves Government
House for Ile Ife. An order restricting Chief Awolowo,
Chief Akintola and six other Nigerians are signed by
the administrator of the region.
- May 31: Dr Majekodunmi flies into Ibadan to assume
his new office as administrator of Western Nigeria.
The same day twelve more Nigerians are served with
restriction orders. This was what happened in the
First Republic. The curious thing now, as being asked
by people is: What makes Kaduna and Kano not qualify
for emergency rule in 2000 and 2001, but which makes
Plateau State more qualified, even when the sordid
events which occurred in Kaduna and Kano dwarfs
whatever killings may have occurred in Plateau State?
That is a question Obasanjo himself would find
difficult to answer.

'Naduvula Konja Pakkatha Kaanom' (NKPK) that was scheduled to release this Friday has been postponed to October so that it could be released on more screens.
Initally four films— 'NKPK', 'Saattai', 'Charulatha' and 'Kovalanin Kadhali' — were supposed to hit the screens on September 21.
The flick's director Balaji Tharaneetharan said they couldn't get the desired number of screens and has accepted the producer's decision to release on another date.
Not just that, the film has also garnered the interest of some bigger banners. "It's true that other producers have shown interest to distribute the film and as of now it might release one week after 'Maattrraan's' release," he said. 'NKPK' features actor Vijay Sethupathy and Gayathri in lead roles and revolves around a person who temporarily loses his memory, two days before his marriage.

Black Friday is less than six weeks away and Mattel (Nasdaq:MAT), the world's largest toy company, is rounding into form just in time for the holidays. Reporting workmanlike results in the third quarter, it's ready to deliver record earnings in 2012. I'll look at what this means for investors.
Credit Card Comparison: Find the credit card that is just right for you.
From a company-wide perspective, the best number in the third quarter was its operating income, which grew 23% year-over-year to $487.4 million. A close second were operating margins, which increased by 360 basis points to 23.5%. Operating profits in the first nine months of the year increased 19% to $647.5 million while margins gained 230 basis points to 15.5%. Operating margins for the trailing twelve months were at 16.9%; investors can expect them to be over 18% for the entirety of 2012, easily its most profitable year in the last decade. In terms of sales, it was a more subdued affair, rising by 4% worldwide to $2.08 billion. By managing its cost of sales effectively, however, it was able to increase gross margins by 590 basis points. Anytime you can deliver a gross margin above 50% with a sales increase on top of that, you're doing great.
The best sales performance in terms of dollars came from Fisher Price, which saw increased revenues of $41.5 million to $790.4 million. On a percentage basis, however, American Girl was the big winner, boosting sales 16% to $102.0 million. Year-to-date its sales have grown 9% to $246.7 million thanks to its McKenna 2012 Girl of the Year doll. It will be a big hit this Christmas no matter how overall retail sales fare. Unfortunately, it's a tiny part of Mattel's overall business, otherwise the quarterly results would have been even better.
What's happened to Barbie? Revenues in the third quarter declined by 4%, were up 5% in the second quarter and down 6% in the first quarter. They're all over the place. Smart Money ran an article in April entitled Is Barbie Headed for Early Retirement? This is its second decline in three quarters. In the past two fiscal years, Barbie sales increased 12% in 2011 and 8% in 2010. Is it possible that MGA Entertainment, which makes the Bratz and Moxie Girlz dolls, and other competitors such as Hasbro (Nasdaq:HAS) and LeapFrog (NYSE:LF) are taking the fight to Barbie? Independent retail analyst Jeff Green likens Barbie to Kodak suggesting, "She is to toys what Kodak is to outdated photographic technology." I'm not ready to throw in the towel on the old girl just yet, but it does make you wonder.
Fourth Quarter
Extrapolating the results from the first three quarters, investors can expect revenues of $2.21 billion in the fourth quarter and operating income of $522.5 million. Adding this to the first nine months of the year, I expect revenues of $6.38 billion in 2012, an increase of 1.8% and net income of $889.2 million, an increase of 15.7%. Based on an earnings per share of $2.56, its dividend payout in 2012 will be 48%. Financially, it's been an excellent year for the toy maker.
The Bottom Line
The highlight for Mattel in 2012, besides its excellent profitability, is completing its $680 million acquisition of HIT Entertainment in February, which includes Thomas & Friends, Barney and Bob the Builder. Diversification in the toy business is essential; given Barbie's struggles of late, it doesn't hurt to have some other irons in the fire. Mattel has never looked so good.
