Book Description:Michael Dummett, philosopher and social critic, is also one of the sharpest and most prominent commentators and campaigners for the fair treatment of immigrants and refugees in Britain and Europe. This book insightfully draws together his thoughts on this major issue for the first time. Exploring the confused and often highly unjust thinking about immigration, Dummett then carefully questions the principles and justifications governing state policies, pointing out that they often conflict with the rights of refugees as laid down by the Geneva Convention. With compelling and often moving examples, On Immigration and Refugees points a new way forward for humane thinking and practice about a problem we cannot afford to ignore.

'Tis the season for awful "rape prevention" ads. Earlier this week Jezebel posted an article about terrible police anti-violence campaigns, which tend to spring up around the holiday season every year. This one, in particular, caught my eye:
Many of the problems here are so obvious they're not really worth discussing: alcohol doesn't cause assault, most survivors knew their assailant, not only women are raped, and thanks to Emily Yoffe we've had enough dissection of victim-blaming to last us a few more months. But what bothered me most, and often goes overlooked, is the insistence that "Rape stays with you for life."
It's true that we can't undo past violence, just as we can't reach back into our pasts and edit any event. But our relationships to our histories vary as much as the histories themselves. For some, dealing with the aftermath of assault or abuse is a life-long struggle. For others, it isn't. Violence comes in so many different forms, and impacts such different people in such different circumstances, that we shouldn't be surprised that not all survivors wrestle with trauma in the same way.
And no matter how we live in the wake of violence, we continue to be human. My friends and I joke about our Dementor Theory of Rape – that sexual violence steals your soul, sucking it out of your body like the deathly kiss of the creepy Harry Potter villains. We laugh at the absurdity, but the insidious message is inescapable. Ads tell us rape stays with us forever, that we'll never be the same. Well-meaning commentators decry rape as a crime that ruins lives, what Jenny Diski critically dubbed "spiritual murder." A couple weeks ago a government lawyer told me she was sorry my life had been "taken from me" when I faced violence as an undergrad.
You know what I wanted to say? Lady, I'm killing it. I'm a student at my dream school, an editor at my dream job, and love many people. That's not to say the last five years have been a walk in the park, but now, finally, I feel pretty good. I've found my patronus and driven back the dementor (WHATEVER I AM A NERD). I resent her denial of everything I've done, everything I am, as though I were some ghost of a woman. And I resent her suggestion that a really bad guy I knew a long time ago defines my existence more than my own choices and my own joy.
Those who insist that violence has rendered us walking dead reenact the same denial of autonomy they wish to condemn. Their intentions may be pure: I think many who mourn the "lost lives" of victims mean to highlight the awfulness of the crime. But we can all agree that sexual violence is bad without sacrificing its victims to prove our point. Not everything terrible is fatal.
I know I'm not representative of the survivor experience. I want to acknowledge explicitly that many survivors are NOT ok, and our insistence that they be the right kind of victim – sad but never angry, vulnerable but never more depressed than we find palatable – is incredibly destructive: it dissuades survivors from seeking support they need and prioritizes the performance of grief over a true, messy, grappling itself. I know that I have had the time and space and privilege to take care of myself, and that such opportunities are rare. I don't want to further shame those who struggle just because, right now, I don't.
But that's the point: there's no one universal narrative of surviving, and our devotion to a singular, fictional tale of suffering hurts all. When we struggle more than the Platonic Victim, we are shunned and shamed; when we struggle less, we are doubted: why won't we reveal our "true" suffering? if we're ok, does that mean we're lying? Over the years I've been on both sides of that equation, two impossible terrains of stigma and invisibility. But even if ads and lawyers and sympathizers refuse to see us we're here – fine or not, victims or survivors, as human as ever before.

Larocca on Marc Jacobs Collection: Thrillingly Modern
There can be no doubt after Marc Jacobs's show earlier tonight that he is one of the most exciting designers in the history of clothes.
Skip to content, or skip to search.

There can be no doubt after Marc Jacobs's show earlier tonight that he is one of the most exciting designers in the history of clothes.
He's still the front-runner, though.
"It would be amazing for Marc to do couture."
Her statement is a little ambiguous, but it's not unlikely she knows this for sure.
Plus, Arlenis Sosa's latest beauty campaign for Lancôme.
Consider this your crib sheet.
Ahem, Christian Dior?
The 'Daily' claims to have its own sources saying Jacobs is making the move.
If he goes, Phoebe Philo would supposedly leave Céline to take over Louis Vuitton.
Plus, isn't the cover of Japanese 'Vogue''s new beauty supplement nice?
A retrospective of the singer's fashion moments.
Enjoy the beauty while it lasts because it's unclear when or if his work will be shot again.
The detective was also trying to dig up dirt on YSL, naturally.
Says Dior's CEO: "They are not living like the designer. They are simple people. Some of them have a difficult life. They have their feet on the ground."
One wonders if they're rethinking that after yesterday's somewhat disastrous new couture collection.
Our street-style photographer Craig Arend shot the shoot as it happened.
Critics agree that using Bill Gaytten as an interim designer doesn't work for couture.
'Times' critic Cathy Horyn thinks the designer "should have a second chance."
Also, Splendid and Ella Moss are launching shoes.
He probably doesn't want all the stress.

I can see this becoming huge... lol I needa find a team for these before it gets too popular
Senior Member
Telling my team about this now
Thanks for the support!!!
Why can i not find information on your site concerning how much the entry fee is? It isnt stated....
Edit: Nevermind, the entry fee is 100$..... that kind of crazy for a tournament of amateurs like this one will be.... no wonder no one has signed up
Edit 2: 32 Teams x 100$ entry fee = $3200, Event prizes are $2500, This organization doesnt really care for League of legends (other amateur tournaments have 0 entry fee and still give out like 400-500$, thats real commitment to esports), they are looking to just make a profit
Dooms Day Gaming
Thanks for your concern.
Edit: Entry fee is $90.00 , these are competitive level events for players that are above the amateur level and ready to win great prizes.and yes we have teams signed up for Jan 4th there are 6 teams so far and 7 teams for Jan 5th. Not bad for only putting this up 2 days ago.
Edit 2: 32 teams x $90 entry = $2880 , event prizes are $2,500. Plus $100 is taken out for the summer battle bash championship in June 2013.
We always trying to improve our tournaments everyday. Please let us know anything else.
Thank you and keep on gaming

Taking care of Colorado business
Local entrepreneur starts statewide networking organization
By Peter Jones
Brian Watson does not wait for opportunity to knock.
When the Greenwood Village businessman lost his bid in the state House of Representatives last year, he did not give up on his campaign to help boost Colorado's economy. Instead, he formed Opportunity Coalition.
"I realized there's a real disconnect throughout the state with regards to the business community, the nonprofit world and the public-service world," Watson said. "We really want to have a positive impact in the state and I think that can be created by people getting together and talking about what they do and figuring out how they may be able to collaborate together."

I have said this before but I will re-iterate: The Everquest bazaar had superior search functionality 10 years ago to the one WoW has today. I should be able to search for head slot leather items with intelligence and crit if I so desire. As it stands it is hard to search for a wrist enchant. They could at least break those up for goodness sake.
The auction house is much like shopping at one of those discount clothing stores where everything is just kind of thrown together.

Or why can't they do something like have an interface that ebay has?
Blizzard really just needs to hire someone who makes AH mods, they deserve the job much more than whoever is designing the current UI.

Can you believe I've never eaten a kumquat? Not once. I picked some up in the co-op the other day, turned them over in my hand and smelled them… and then put them back figuring I had no idea what to do with them and with this sugar-free thing going on I couldn't make jam with them. This one looks like a keeper of a batter, and it does have less sugar than a lot of desserts.

It's not quite baseball weather but it is the time to get registered to play. Kids with disabilities with have the opportunity this summer to play baseball at The Miracle Field.
It's at the Joplin Athletic Complex and was constructed by Joplin Rotarians and the Keller Williams Foundation.
A special surface makes it safe for kids with wheelchairs or walkers and openings to the dugouts are wider.
Organizers say each team will have two coaches for the six-week season and the ball players don't have to already know how to play the game.
"There's no baseball skill necessary to start so the kids will just come out, have fun, they'll get some instruction from their coaches and they'll also be helped by volunteers we call buddies who will be available to help them hit and run the bases if they need it," says Miracle Field Board Member Louise Secker.
The deadline to register is March 15. To register or for more information visit http://joplinmiracleleague.org/

2013 Volvo XC90 3.2 liter from North America
Swedish bank vault on wheels
The blower motor for the HVAC system went out 6 months into ownership. It was promptly replaced.
The B pillar fabric wears too quickly when the seatbelt hits it. Design flaw that you will have to learn to live with.
General Comments:
This car is well built. You can feel it when you close the door, and it makes a thud and sounds like the air is being sucked out of the inside.
The leather seats on the upgraded seats are some of the most comfortable I have ever sat in. I have taken several 4 hour road trips, and my Audi seats kill me. These are plush and supportive.
The classic look of this car will never get old. They are redesigning the car and it will arrive in dealerships in late 2014. I bought this car in mid 2012, fully aware of this. I anticipate that the XC90 will age well, like the old 240 wagons.
The bendy lights are cool. The LED lights in back are a nice change for 2013, as is the color matched painted plastic molding.
Rattle free.
Acceptable highway mileage.
The AWD system is quite good.
The center stack is well laid out, but archaic.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes
Review Date: 4th November, 2013

Lexus IS Review
The 2014 Lexus IS ranks 2 out of 22 Upscale Midsize Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of published reviews and test drives of the Lexus IS, as well as reliability and safety data.
The 2014 Lexus IS is ranked:
- #2 in Upscale Midsize Cars
- #7 in Luxury Convertibles
While some sport sedans may be more nimble, auto writers say the redesigned 2014 Lexus IS features a comfortable, upscale cabin, refined handling and ample engine power.
The redesigned IS sedan comes standard with a V6 engine that test drivers agree makes sufficient power. A more powerful V6 comes in the Lexus IS 350, which reviewers say makes the IS more engaging to drive. A six-speed automatic transmission is standard, which is praised for its smooth shifts. Rear-wheel drive versions of the IS 350 get an eight-speed automatic, which reviewers say makes better use of the engine's power. Fuel economy is up to an EPA-estimated 21/30 mpg city/highway, which is a bit low among comparable sport sedans. Test drivers say the IS has refined handling and a comfortable ride, though many write that class leaders like the Cadillac ATS are a bit more athletic. Still, the IS' steering is praised for being well-weighted and providing good feedback.
Reviewers write that the redesigned Lexus IS sedan's cabin is a huge step up from last year's model, and features great build quality and plenty of high-end materials. They report the front seats are comfortable and supportive, and appreciate that the back seats offer plenty of legroom. Reviewers note that the IS' touch-sensitive climate controls work pretty well, though some say the mouse-like Remote Touch system that controls the optional navigation system takes some getting used to. Standard features include Bluetooth, a 7-inch display screen, an eight-speaker stereo and a USB port. Optional features include navigation, a backup camera, a 15-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system, blind spot monitoring, adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning.
- "While it's a big step up from its predecessor, the IS can't quite match the poise of its top rivals on a circuit. But that doesn't mean Lexus's latest sedan fails to provide a great all-around car for shoppers who want a bold new luxury vehicle with a sporty flair." -- AutoTrader
- "As before, comfort, luxury and outright refinement take priority over performance and headlines on the 2014 Lexus IS 250. This car will please Lexus loyalists, but if you're not devoted to the brand, you owe it to yourself to shop around." -- Edmunds
- "The 2014 Lexus IS is both very good and yet in a few areas it falls just a little short, with the available F-Sport trim acting as a tease as to what the new IS could be." -- MSN Autos
- "I think Lexus has finally built an entry-level sport sedan that's great to look at, wonderful to sit in, and a lot of fun to drive. It's the kind of car that its buyer will enjoy for years to come. But things do get tricky here because the competition is so tough." -- Jalopnik
- "If you happen to be shopping for a compact luxury sedan, you'd be doing yourself a disservice by assuming the IS is just another boring Lexus." -- Left Lane News
Other Cars to Consider
If you're after a sporty car with great handling, reviewers recommend the BMW 3-Series. In addition to its athletic demeanor, the base 320i model gets better fuel economy and starts at a lower price.
Reviewers write that the Audi A4 has a refined ride and handling, as well as a high-quality interior. The A4 also returns better fuel economy than the IS 250, and reviewers say its turbocharged four-cylinder engine gives the A4 plenty of pep.
Compare the IS, 3-Series and A4 »
Details: 2014 Lexus IS
The 2014 Lexus IS is available in sedan and convertible (IS-C) body styles, which seat five and four, respectively. Three trims are offered, ranging from the IS 250 sedan with a 2.5-liter V6 engine and a six-speed automatic transmission, to the high-performance IS-F sedan with a 5.0-liter V8 engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard on all models and all-wheel drive is optional on the IS 250 and IS 350 sedan. The Lexus IS 250 and IS 350 sedans have been fully redesigned for 2014, while the convertible IS-C and high-performance IS-F carry over unchanged for 2014.

Captain Costello sums up the conditions of the day: "To sum it up, the grab was violent, the great fish peeled off around 75 yards of line, and we were very lucky to land and photograph such a remarkable fish." We think they were fortunate to have relied on Simms gear as well. Here you can see Capt.

Fauxshow's June 'Pick n Mix'
11 Jul
Yo yo yo Groovedroppers, it's 'Pick n Mix' time, only ten days late which seems to conveniently coincide with the ten days of decent weather that we've experienced in the UK. Anyway, I'm now so burnt that I need to stay out of the sun so I've finally found the time to record and upload my favourite freebies from the month of June, all 'Picked n Mixed' up into a sticky, gooey, gelatinous hour of sweet funky freeness.

This storage ottoman looks beautiful and is very reasonably priced. It provides a lot of space to throw blankets and pillows inside, while looking classy. The color is definitely an off-white, like shown in the picture, so I wouldn't call it "beige" as the product description does. Overall, I'm very happy with this elegant and functional piece! My only issue is that 2 of the 4 legs arrived with deep scratches and dents on them. They were even bubble wrapped separately, making it very confusing. I feel like the only way they could have been so badly damaged was before they were packed and shipped, which is an issue.
I bought this for my daughter's room. It's the perfect size for the end of her bed. It's a solid piece and the price was great. I was considering a different similar ottoman that would have cost ****. My only complaint is that I wish there more color options and a slighter nicer fabric. Overall though it's a very nice classy looking ottoman and actually has plenty of storage room.
I was on the look out for a coffee table option that would be safe for our baby who is quickly starting to explore things as well as offer a storage option for her toys and any other odds and ends that need a home. I was thrilled to see this beautiful storage bench style and the measurements were perfect to fit our space. I ordered the grey bench and the color is a pretty grey-ish tannish color which blends nicely into our living room. I will be spraying it with a protectant spray once it warms up outside to keep spills and dirty baby fingers from staining it. I am so happy that I found such a beautiful peice at a great price point- it's very sturdy and looks high end. Very highly recommended!
I am pleased with the new addition to my living room. It's cute and seems pretty durable so far. I've had i for about a month and I have 4 boys and a niece who have played on it and crawled in it.
Very happy with this bench. Very easy to assemble ("assembly" just involved screwing the legs in). The fabric and tufting is pretty - looks expensive.
Received this item to put in front of my bay window. It was easy to assemble - just screw on the legs. The fabric is crisp and clean and has a nice tailored look. I am very pleased with it.
It looks so beautiful and fits into the area in my spare room. Love the color and the quality of workmanship.
Arrived yesterday and what an awesome deal! The color is lovely, it looks like a million bucks and was very easy to assemble. We got it in the grey color and it is a soft Heather grey, very classy looking, with some darker and lighter threads scattered throughout for a nice textured look. Only downside: two of the legs had damage, one minor, another quite a bit. The paint had been dinged/scratched up. Luckily we had some dark wood stain leftover from a desk project, and it was very easy to refurbish. For the price, this is a steal! Highly recommended!!

Wigan goes to court over police refund- 10 Oct 2007 07:10:00
Premier League club Wigan Athletic has gone to court to demand a refund of close to £300,000 against the Greater Manchester Police over the fee the club paid for policing of its home fixtures.
Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan claims Greater Manchester Police overcharged it for covering matchdays at the JJB Stadium and has demanded the return of about £293,000 paid during 2003/04 and 2004/05.
Michael Todd, Greater Manchester's chief constable, said the charges were reasonable and entirely lawful.
The High Court hearing saw Wigan state that it had been charged for special policing services it had requested inside the stadium.
But the court heard that now GMP (Greater Manchester Police) also demanded payment for policing the area surrounding the stadium.
Adam Lewis, representing the club, told the judge: 'The GMP appears to say that it can provide and charge for whatever services it wants and at whatever charge. That is wrong.'
The GMP charged the club £226,184 in the 2003/04 season and £283,082 for 2004/05, compared to £61,058 in 2002/03.
Wigan claimed that when it originally refused to pay the higher bill, the police threatened to withdraw their services for this season, which would have meant no home matches.
The GMP said it was entitled in law to charge Wigan for officers who were deployed in the stadium and in the surrounding area, including car parks, roads and open ground.

Faith Middleton's Food Schmooze: Boozehound Jason Wilson And The Best Of Recipes For Health
Boozehound: On the Trail of the Rare, the Obscure, and the Overrated in Spirits
by Jason Wilson
While some may wonder, "Does the world really need another flavored vodka?" no one answers this question quite so memorably as spirits writer and raconteur Jason Wilson does in Boozehound. (By the way, the short answer is no.) A unique blend of travelogue, spirits history, and recipe collection, Boozehound explores the origins of what we drink and the often surprising reasons behind our choices.
In lieu of odorless, colorless, tasteless spirits, Wilson champions Old World liquors with hard-to-define flavors—a bitter and complex Italian amari, or the ancient, aromatic herbs of Chartreuse, as well as distinctive New World offerings like lively Peruvian pisco. With an eye for adventure, Wilson seeks out visceral experiences at the source of production—visiting fields of spiky agave in Jalisco, entering the heavily and reverently-guarded Jägermeister herb room in Wolfenbüttel, and journeying to the French Alps to determine if mustachioed men in berets really handpick blossoms to make elderflower liqueur.
In addition, Boozehound offers more than fifty drink recipes, from three riffs on the Manhattan to cocktail-geek favorites like the Aviation and the Last Word. These recipes are presented alongside a host of opinionated essays that cherish the rare, uncover the obscure, dethrone the overrated, and unravel the mysteries of taste, trends, and terroir. Through his far-flung, intrepid traveling and tasting, Wilson shows us that perhaps nothing else as entwined with the history of human culture is quite as much fun as booze.

Companies that own the application marketplaces say they, too, are on the watch for fraudulent apps. At Apple, the policy is to vet each application before it appears in the App Store. But no system is foolproof. For example, there are apps for so-called jail-broken iPhones, which are unlocked in order to allow the use of other networks besides AT & T or to download applications sold on third-party marketplaces. The practice makes the compromised phones more prone to fraud. Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller says the company takes security "very seriously and has a great track record of addressing potential vulnerabilities before they can affect users."
Google's Android Market, meanwhile, is considered more open than Apple's App Store and relies on its community to flag fraudulent applications, Moeller says. While Google removes apps that violate its policy, that's only after they have appeared on the company's marketplace, where they could have been downloaded and installed by customers.
"The Android Market content policy clearly states that we do not allow applications on Android Market to identify themselves with third-party marks (of conformity) without permission," a Google spokeswoman says. "If an application violates the content policy, we will remove it from Android Market, and developer accounts will be terminated for repeated violations."
There are a few steps consumers can take to avoid this new type of fraud. You could download your bank's application through its own website. A legitimate application will require you to go through an authentication process to register your phone and create an original user name and password, says Emmett Higdon, a senior analyst with Forrester Research who covers online and mobile financial services.
Or you could use your phone's browser to link directly with your bank's website instead of downloading an application, Moeller says.
Ultimately, it will be up to the banks and wireless companies to detect this type of fraud and keep it from reaching their customers in the first place. "This is part of the natural progression of rolling out a new channel," Higdon says. "We went through this with online banking and will go through this all over again with mobile banking."

in the Lord's presence.
There is this fight within me though. I struggle to shut out the commotion in my heart: the doubt, the fear, the insecurity. Where else are we accepted despite our deficiencies? Where else can someone put that hurt and confusion to death? And where else are we restored -pulled out of the grip of death? No where.
This place, his presence, is good. Perhaps "good" seems like an understatement, but true goodness is something so beyond our normal experience and understanding that we can scarcely believe it. I know I struggle to.
To dance for my Jesus. That's what I yearn for. If we could know the grace and joy he entends, oh how we would dance.
Free these feet. Lead me, lead us, to dance like David, will all our might.

"Third Reflection"
I am placed in a 4K classroom at a charter school in inner city Philadelphia. 4K means the children are around four years old, which implies that they are pre- kindergarteners. At this point I have visited my site four times and each time we have a very similar afternoon schedule.
I immediately appreciated the acknowledgement of my presence every visit, by Mr. White and his students. My first visit he introduced me to the class and told the children, "Ms. Deborah is studying to be a teacher like Mr. White, and when Ms. Deborah comes to visit on Wednesdays you must listen to Ms. Deborah, exactly how you would to Mr. White and Ms. S". He then had me introduced myself to the class, which was kind of awkward because I had never introduced myself to twenty-six four-year olds before. I have the ability to interact with the children, allow them permission to do things, and discipline them as well. Although, I prefer minor discipline, such as, asking them to stop undesirable behaviors, in which I just like to remind them of what they should be doing instead of punishing the undesirable ones. When I get there they are just waking from their naps and go straight into independent reading sitting in their table groups. After independent reading the kids go downstairs to gym, then back upstairs to a large group story, which leads to an arts and crafts activity, ending with packing up and going home. Mr. White usually asks me to read the class, the last story of the day before we pack up to go home which I really enjoy as well.
Journal Entries
Hey guys I've been really bad at posting entries.. Sorry I'll post them here and you all can chose which, if any to comment on. =)
Journal Entry 5
In class we split up into journal groups and created checkpoints for teachers to assess student's learning processes. We decided these as key points in creating a productive learning environment
Paper 2
"In every society, there are ways of being locked out. Race, gender, or beauty can serve as the dividing point as easily as being sighted or blind. In every society, it takes many people--- both disablers and their disabled--- to get that job done" (McDermott, 4).
Ray McDermott's article, "Culture as a Disability" emphasizes interesting and valid points that present society with an alternative meaning behind the word disabled. In various cultures, including American culture, disabled individuals are shunned from everyday interactions. At young ages, disabled people are segregated in educational systems, occupational settings, and home interactions.
"Common sense allows that persons unable to handle a difficult problem can be labeled "disabled" (McDermott, 1).
Many unknowing citizens confuse the term disability with the term inability. Because it may be a challenging task to teach or problem some concept to grasp does not mean there is an inability to learn. Withholding the perception that disabled people are not of value to society is not only negative but it is detrimental to the success of the disabled and the advancement of society as a whole. McDermott's quote above expresses the limitations society presses upon its citizens and challenges us to fight the oppression in order to establish a free, safe, inclusive, and equal nation.

Chapter 3: That School Is For Bad Kids
Chapter 4: Diversity or Not?
Chapter 5: What Happened To All My Friends?
Chapter 2: No Child Left Outside
As a child I spent my entire early education at the O'Hearn Elementary School. The O'Hearn was a rather small school located in my own neighborhood, and about an 8 min walk from my urban home. I attended this school from Pre-K until the 5th grade and my happiest moments were spent there.
The building was a small one-floor structure in the shape of a complete circle, with a courtyard in the center, in which every classroom faced. There was absolutely no getting lost there! The classrooms were very simply numbered from 1-10, approximately 25 children in each grade, with at least two teachers assigned to each class. Occasionally, one was placed in a mixed classroom with two grades sharing a room. This can seem rather complex and hectic but it worked out pretty smoothly. The class did most activities and lessons together but then spilt up when grade specific learning occurred. For example, math classes were held with students of your grade level.
Minecraft Experience
This was a very interesting and frustrating experience for me because I could not get the original Minecraft to open on my computer. There were plugins to download and even after it all it did not work. After searching around other websites and realizing most demo games were only meant for PC's I finally found a site that let me play on my Mac. Needless to say I did not know what I was doing and after ten minutes of building and collecting wood I somehow reach game over. I'm assuming I was killed in the game or maybe the time ran out I'm not sure. :(. I'm sure I need tons more practice and a little more guidance before I can remotely call myself a Minecraft gammer. Gamming for me presents a level of knowlege and skill into a program and I don't think I possess neither of those qualities in my attempt in Minecraft.
Reaction to 9/25
I mentioned in my small group that I felt like since being in this course and reading Clark's views on technology in society that I have found myself actually wanting to pull away from technology. Prior to the class I was the biggest activist on technological advancements and how more efficient, faster, and improved mannerisms have been discovered and have altered our society. I mentioned that there's no limit to what technology does and what we allow it do and eventually it just might take over.
Mirella brought up a interesting point that was then touched upon in the video clip also. which was that most people are skeptical about technology because of our internal fears of the advancements. This is a control issue and sometimes we humans feel the need to control all aspects of our environment. I really like the quote, "It's not about technology vs humans, it's how humans using technology can do great things".
I think Tuesday's class helped me to rediscover my love and appreciation for technology because honestly if used correctly it can do so much good. I found myself briefly resenting it in away because I thought it was sort of taking away from the value of childhood, communication, and in-person interactions but I now think we are more powerful together.

The Louisiana Purchase - April 30
- Tuesday, April 30, 2013
The size of the U.S. doubled APRIL 30, 1803, with the Louisiana Purchase. Nearly a million square miles, at less than three cents an acre - it was the greatest land bargain in history! Of this land purchase from France, President Thomas Jefferson stated in his Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1805: "I know that the acquisition of Louisiana has been disapproved by some from a candid apprehension that the enlargement of our territory would endanger the union, but who can limit the extent to which the federative principle may operate effectively?" Why did France sell the Louisiana Territory? Napoleon Bonaparte needed money quickly for his military campaigns, therefore he sold all the French controlled lands west of the Mississippi for just fifteen million dollars. Napoleon fought in Europe, Egypt and Russia, yet in 1815 he was banished to the tiny island of St. Helena in the South Atlantic, where he commented to General Count de Montholon: "Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and myself founded empires; but upon what foundation did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force! But Jesus Christ founded His upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him."

American Christian expression is often shallow and superficial. It has often been said that American Christianity is 3,000 miles wide and one mile deep. American Christian are exceptionally gullible. Only in America can a TV minister be convicted of various kinds of scams, only to be back on TV racking in the big bucks and selling all kinds of cheap gospel gimmicks. We have confused simple faith with gullibility. American Christian "pep talk gospel" is hardly the gospel at all. Being positive and encouraging is great, but not when it comes at the expense of leaving out the rest of the message. Put another way, Jesus was not a motivational preacher.

One day, Farmer Brown went behind his barn and found to his dismay that his son, Jeb, was jerking off. He vowed to his son that he was going to help him find a wife, so he would not have to be doing this.
Sure enough, the father was able to find a suitable bride just right down the road and the couple was married shortly thereafter. Six weeks later the farmer was again going behind the barn and caught his son vigorously jerking off. The farmer went berzerk.
"Why are you still doing this, why aren't you with your wife?"
"Aw Paw," said the son, "Her little old arm gets so tired."

Study: Wildlife refuges raise property values
Researchers find that urban homes near a national wildlife refuge are worth 3% to 9% more than homes that are farther away.
Homes in urban areas near wildlife refuges are worth 3% to 9% more than homes that aren't near refuges, according to a new study.
A study commissioned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and conducted by researchers at North Carolina State University found that being within half a mile of a wildlife refuge raised property values 4% to 5% in the Northeast, 7% to 9% in the Southeast and 3% to 6% in the California/Nevada region. Other regions were not included in the study.
"National wildlife refuges are public treasures that protect imperiled wildlife and delight visitors," Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said in a news release. "These findings remind us that refuges also boost community health, sometimes in unexpected ways. National wildlife refuges enrich local communities ─ even in a lean economy – and generate revenue."
Post continues below
The study looked specifically at property values in areas within three miles of 93 national wildlife refuges that were no more than two miles from an urban area with a population greater than 50,000. Only those homes within eight miles of the urban center were included.
This was the first study to measure the impact of national wildlife refuges on property values. It comes at a time when some members of Congress would like to sell protected federal lands for developments.
While the study measured only the impact of federal wildlife refuges on property values, other protected land is likely to have a similar favorable impact, the study's lead author said.
"I wouldn't consider a refuge any different from open space a local community might protect," Laura Taylor, director of the university's Center for Environmental and Resource Economics Policy, told Newsday. "As long as it's permanently protected in a natural state, our research would indicate that there's going to be benefits to neighboring homes."

Thomas DeLeire
Economic opportunity is not the same for everyone in the United States, new research by La Follette School director Thomas DeLeire shows. While 84 percent of Americans have higher family incomes than their parents did at the same age, those born at the top and bottom of the income ladder are likely to stay there as adults.
DeLeire and co-author Leonard Lopoo of Syracuse University conducted the study for The Pew Charitable Trusts, which released the results July 9.
The report, Pursuing the American Dream: Economic Mobility across Generations, uses the most current data to measure mobility by family income and family wealth, furthering the project's understanding of how closely tied a person's place on the economic ladder is to that of his or her parents. The research shows that:
- African Americans are still less likely to exceed their parents' income and wealth than are whites and they are more likely to be stuck at the bottom of the economic ladder across a generation.
- A four-year college degree promotes upward mobility from the bottom and prevents downward mobility from the middle and the top.
- Most sons are meeting or exceeding the earnings of their fathers at the same age. However, the sons' earnings represent a smaller proportion of family income than did men's earnings in the fathers' generation.
"The ideal of the American Dream is complex and we see again that one's ability to achieve it is impacted by race, education, and family background," says Erin Currier, manager of Pew's Economic Mobility Project.
The report considers both absolute and relative mobility to provide a full picture of what is happening in the United States. Absolute mobility measures whether a person has more or less income or wealth than his or her parents did at the same age. Relative mobility looks at a person's rank on the income or wealth ladder compared to his or her parents' rank at the same age.
The report's data are from the Panel Study for Income Dynamics, which was designed in 1968. To compensate for the absence of Latinos and groups that immigrated to the United States after 1968, a sample was added in 1990. However, because this report incorporates data from the parent generation in 1968, or before the Latino and immigrant samples were added, the sample is too small to explore mobility among Latinos.

California Supervisor Want To Split Up California
- Ghost32

A Republican wants a chunk of Southern California to secede and become the 51st state. Ana Kasparian and comedian Jimmy Dore discuss if we should split the United States into a red country and a blue country.

These two morons should exchange brain scans and then buy everyone Pizza. We could then strap them both to the good ship "Kasparian Dore" and send them off into space. Their insane rhetoric is exactly what is wrong with this country now and, as that prick from FOX news used to say ... "They should, Shut Up!".
