The Standard Major & Minor Concentration
There are two concentrations for the major in philosophy:
- The standard concentration (see below)
- Concentration in "Philosophy, Politics, and Society" (PPS)
Requirements for the standard concentration are below.
Major Requirements
30 credits, distributed as follows:
- 3 cr. in logic: PHILO 171
- 9 cr. in history of philosophy: PHILO 212, 215, and 218
- 3 cr. in ethics, politics, and aesthetics: any course from PHILO 244, 246, or 258
- 3 cr. in metaphysics and epistemology: any course from PHILO 360, 362, 364, 366, or 379
- 3 cr. in the intensive study of a major philosopher: any course from PHILO 380, 381, 382, 383, 384, 385, 386, 387, 388, 389 or 390
- 9 additional cr. chosen in consultation with the adviser. Students are required to select at least one course (3 cr.) at the 300-level. Also, they are encouraged to select courses that acquaint them with philosophic traditions other than the dominant Western ones
A student must take, as a pre-requisite to the minor, one of 6 introductory philosophy courses (PHILO 101, 103, 104, 106, 203, or 204) as her first course in philosophy and ENGL 120. None of these courses count toward the philosophy minor.
A minor in philosophy is comprised of 12 credits at the 200-level or above, including no fewer than 3 credits at the 300-level. Exceptions: PHILO 171 may count toward the minor at the 200-level; and PHILO 203 and 204 shall not count.
A student may take PHILO 171 (Introduction to Symbolic Logic), but not PHILO 103 (Introduction to Logic & Critical Thinking), to count toward a 200-level course in the 12-credit minor. This makes possible a minor in philosophy through the department's logic sequence (PHILO 171, 275, 375, and 376.)
PHILO 203 and 204 are excluded from counting toward the minor because they are, albeit advanced, introductory courses. They do count, however, toward the pre-requisite as indicated above.
Furthermore, if a student wishes to minor in the Philosophy, Politics, Society (PPS) concentration, it is required that s/he select 4 courses or 12 credits from the list of philosophy courses, not from the list of non-philosophy courses, in the PPS concentration. Non-philosophy courses counting toward the PPS major concentration may not count toward the minor in philosophy.
Finally, a student must pass a minor in philosophy with a minimum GPA of 3.00.
When constructing a philosophy minor in either the standard or the PPS concentration, a student should always consult with a philosophy department advisor beforehand.
Recommended Minors for Philosophy Majors
While any minor offered at Hunter College is acceptable for philosophy majors, certain minors may be more appropriate for students with particular philosophical interests, especially those considering graduate study in philosophy. For students with historical interests, a minor in a language in which there is a substantial philosophical literature is appropriate—in particular, Greek or German. Latin, French, or Chinese may also be appropriate minors in cases of students with special interests. For students with interests in politics, ethics, or aesthetics, minors in fields that devote considerable attention to the study of values—such as History, Africana & Puerto Rican/Latino Studies, English, Women's Studies, Art, Latin American & Caribbean Studies or Music—are appropriate. For students with interests in ontology, epistemology, or logic, a minor in one of the sciences is appropriate—in particular, Psychology, Physics, or Mathematics. Anthropology or Biological Sciences may also be appropriate minors in cases of students with special interests.
Recommended Philosophy Minor Courses for Other Majors
Students majoring in foreign languages and cultures who minor in philosophy should take courses on philosophers writing in the language of the major—for example, for Greek majors, PHILO 212, 380, 381; for German majors, PHILO 218, 384, 386, 387, 389; etc. Students majoring in English or fine arts fields should take historical courses that include the substantial study of values, such as PHILO 212 and/or 218, as well as courses dealing directly with problems of ethics or aesthetics, such as PHILO 244, 256, and 258. (In addition, English majors should consider taking courses that include substantial study of English or American philosophers, such as PHILO 215, 225, and/or 383.) Students majoring in History or social studies fields should take historical courses related to their area of interest (for example, PHILO 212 for ancient history or PHILO 218 for late modern European history), as well as courses dealing directly with problems of politics and society, such as PHILO 246, 248, and 250. Students majoring in the sciences should take courses in logic (PHILO 171, 275, 279, 375), as well as courses directly related to their major field—for example, PHILO 268 and 366 for Psychology, PHILO 270 and 379 for Physics, or PHILO 376 for Mathematics.

UM-Dearborns College of Business is an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review, which just published the 2010 edition of its Best 301 Business Schools
October 8, 2009
DEARBORN / Oct. 8, 2009---The University of Michigan-Dearborns College of Business is an outstanding business school, according to The Princeton Review. The New York-based education services company features UM-Dearborns College of Business in the just-published 2010 edition of its Best 301 Business Schools.
Best 301 Business Schools has two-page profiles of the schools and their MBA programs with write-ups on their academics, student life and admissions, plus ratings for their academics, selectivity and career placement services.
In the profile on UM-Dearborn College of Business, the Princeton Review editors describe the College of Business MBA program as serving busy professionals looking for a leg up in their careers. Students dont have to live in, or even near, Dearborn to benefit from the program, however, because the school also offers an online degree featuring the same courses taught on the Dearborn campus with no on-campus residency making it beneficial to out-of-state students and allowing local students more flexibility between school, work, and social life.
The editors quoted students who said UM-Dearborns College of Business is well reputed for finance coursework but that it also excels in marketing and accounting. Classes are very challenging but fair, with the entire program tailored to working professionals, making it very attractive to people who work long hours.
A great environment in which to hone business skills, students tell us, adding, It provides a diverse set of students, experienced and highly regarded faculty, and top facilities to learn in.
College of Business faculty are very passionate about what they do, making sure their students get the best education possible, said Kim Schatzel, dean of the College of Business. This designation reaffirms that the College of Business and its faculty are providing the highest quality learning environment and curricula to its students, as well as responding to the needs of our regions employers.
According to Robert Franek, Princeton Review senior vice president of publishing, the business schools in this book were chosen based on their academic programs and offerings, as well as a review of institutional data collected from the schools. We also strongly consider the candid opinions of students attending the schools that rate and report on their campus experiences at their schools on our survey for the book," he said.
"We are pleased to recommend the University of Michigan-Dearborn College of Business to readers of our book and users of our site as one of the best institutions they could attend to earn an MBA, Franek said.
The University of Michigan-Dearborn MBA has long been recognized for its rigor, relevance, and accessibility to business professionals, Schatzel said. I am pleased that the program is extending its visibility and well-deserved reputation.
Best 301 Business Schools is one of nearly 200 Princeton Review titles published by Random House. The line includes annual guides to the best law schools and medical schools, plus guides to grad school admission exams and application essays. The Princeton Review also is known for its college and career guidebooks, its test-prep courses and other education services. The company is not affiliated with Princeton University and it is not a magazine.

Missed connections - Charlottesville, Durham, Chapel Hill
We realized an important truth on this trip - it's near-impossible to see and talk to all the amazing musicians in the world. Everywhere we went we found an awesome music community, and there were always "local" sections in record stores, posters and stickers, and helpful people to point out more and more bands relevant to our cause. Unfortunately, as with everything else, it boils down to not enough time, not enough money. So here are some rad people who we'll hopefully cover on our next go-around. That doesn't mean we should be keeping these to ourselves though. Check em out:
In the town where our patron saint David Berman first got together with Stephen Malkmus, both our awesome couchsurfing host and the good people at Random Row community bookstore pointed us towards town fixtures Jamie Dyer and the Hogwaller Ramblers
Friends we met later on down the road clued us into Nettles.
Durham & Chapel Hill
Durham and Chapel Hill very nearly gave us an anxiety attack with all the great music in town. If you're ever in Durham, best check out Bull City Records and all these amazing bands we missed:
Midtown Dickens (off the wonderful Trekky Records)
Phil Cook & His Feat (of Megafaun, off Trekky Records)

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 12, 2009) — Golden Rocketship got up in the final stride under Rafael Bejarano to win Friday night's $48,000 allowance feature at Hollywood Park by a nose over pacesetter Dancing Erin.
Golden Rocketship, owned by Dave and Herb Alpert, stalked the pacesetter and looked beaten early in the stretch, but gradually wore down the leader in the final sixteenth while covering six furlongs on Cushion Track in 1:08.77.
Even-money favorite Unzip Me moved into contention on the turn for home, but tired in the stretch and had to settle for third, just one of several upsets Friday which set up a Pick Six carryover of $83,719.
Golden Rocketship, a 3-year-old chestnut trained by John Sadler, paid $9.60, $4.50 and $3 as the second choice in the field of seven 3- and 4-year-old fillies. Dancing Erin, a 17-1 outsider, returned $17.20 and $5.80, while the show payoff on Unzip Me was $2.20.
The winner's share of $28,800 raised Golden Rocketship's earnings to $58,760. The win was her second in six starts.

The Legacy of Don Erway, N-Club President
By Randy York
In a half-century era where Nebraska has won more games than any other major college football program and sold out every home game since 1962, it's easy to dismiss Husker student-athletes who did not experience that kind of success or feel the momentum that Big Red football could have on an entire state. Instead of winning conference championships, national titles and bowl games with the consistency of a well-tuned clock, Husker football players from yesteryear struggled mightily just to stay above .500. But they had their magical moments, and they had their chance to be the talk of college football on any given Saturday. Go all the way back, for instance, to Sept. 24, 1955, in Columbus, Ohio. Nebraska had lost its season home opener in Lincoln to Hawaii, 6-0, even though a year earlier, the Huskers demolished the Rainbow Warriors, 50-0 in Honolulu. After that woeful performance, Nebraska Sports Information Director Emeritus Don Bryant told me that Husker football fans everywhere were expecting a major blowout when NU traveled to sixth-ranked Ohio State for its second game. The Buckeyes, after all, were the defending AP national champions and featured my all-time favorite-named player, Howard "Hopalong" Cassady, who would go on to win the 1955 Heisman Trophy.
Cassady rushed for 170 yards and three touchdowns that day in front of 80,171 Ohio Stadium fans. But Don Erway, a 6-foot-1, 180-pound quarterback from Lincoln High School, did not panic or lose his poise. He ran for a 9-yard first-quarter touchdown and connected with Jon McWilliams, a senior end from Sidney, Neb., on an 11-yard touchdown pass to give the Huskers a 20-14 third-quarter lead. Yes, Nebraska flirted with history that day, but lost its opportunity in a scoreless fourth quarter. Final score: Buckeyes 28, Huskers 20. Having his hand and feet (he was the team's kicker) in 14 of Nebraska's 20 points that day, Erway battled hard and came back with resolve, helping lead the Huskers to five wins in their next eight games – all against what would become longtime Big Eight conference rivals. Nebraska finished 5-5 in 1954, and that was more than acceptable for Nebraska Football B.D. (Before Devaney).
Don Erway: A Gifted Prep and Collegiate Athlete
Donald G. Erway, 78, died peacefully at his Lincoln home on Oct. 10. His Celebration of Life service was Tuesday at Lincoln's Christ United Methodist Church. Jim Miller enjoyed doing the research to memorialize a life-long member of the church he pastors. That research helped Reverend Miller understand the trail Erway left, athletically and professionally. So this N-Sider is dedicated to the legacy of Don Erway, who was the 1953 Nebraska State High School Athlete of the Year in both the Lincoln Journal-Star and the Omaha World-Herald. That high honor was based on Erway's first-team all-state status in both football and basketball. He starred on back-to-back state championship basketball teams, averaging nearly 20 points a game his senior season after being selected to play in the East-West High School All-Star Football Game in Memphis.
Erway also was a catcher in baseball, a second sport in which he lettered as a Husker before a knee injury forced him to the sidelines. Erway is well etched into Nebraska's rich athletic history and even served as president of what was then called the Varsity "N" Club, which welcomed all letterwinners across all Nebraska sports.
A Prep Hall-of-Famer with Many Fellow Huskers
Eight years ago, Erway was inducted into the Nebraska High School Sports Hall of Fame. Fellow Lincoln High grad and Nebraska football All-American Mike Fultz was in the same induction class, along with former Huskers Todd Brown, Ken Geddes, John Kirby, Joe Orduna, Randy Reeves and Charlie Toogood. All were accomplished Husker players, but none did what Erway did – quarterbacked Nebraska to its second-ever bowl game and its first in 13 years when the Huskers lost to Duke (34-7) in the Jan. 1, 1955 Orange Bowl. The postseason game was the reward for a 6-4 regular season. Even though the Huskers finished second in the Big Seven Conference that year and were steamrolled by Oklahoma, Nebraska received the '54 bowl bid because Oklahoma had gone to Miami the year before, and the Orange Bowl enforced its no-repeat rule.
Erway's Orange Bowl performance against the 14th-ranked Duke Blue Devils was, in a word, forgettable. But he helped Nebraska get to Miami and deserves credit for his leadership. A friendly guy by all accounts, Erway left a legacy and wished for memorials to go to the Humane Society, his church and the UNL Foundation that supports Nebraska Athletics. He is survived by a son who lives in Bennet, Neb., a daughter who lives in Clarksville, Md., and a daughter who lives in Lincoln, plus all three of their spouses and their families.

Iceland is not a leader for U.S. geothermal
REYKJAVIK, Iceland—Why isn't geothermal energy in the picture for the United States as a leading renewable energy source? It is because the United States only has one major earth plate shift point and that is the earthquake fault line that runs along the edge of California. Those plate shift points are the starting area for being able to drill into the earth and have a release of geothermal energy at the scale necessary for commercial electrical plants powered by geothermal energy.
Even in the areas near volcanic activity in Iceland, geothermal drilling is only successful in releasing energy for commercial operations 60 percent of the time. The second geothermal power plant constructed in Iceland has 47 wells drilled and 40 percent of them are not producing at this time.
click image to zoomPhoto by Rich KellerBjarni Bjarnason, CEO of Reykjavik Energy, spoke to a small group of journalists from the U.S. and Europe as they visited the HellisheiÕl Power Plant. A small group of journalists from North America and Europe visited this Hellisheiðl Power Plant, and the group also heard the CEO of Reykjavik Energy give a sneak peak of his keynote presentation at the world geothermal conference that begins Wednesday in Reykjavik.
CEO Bjarni Bjarnason said the world's energy consumption is increasing rapidly, and renewable energy remains a very small percentage of the total energy consumed/used, but there is enough geothermal energy to last mankind for eternity. The problem is not the energy being lacking but the extraction methods haven't been developed yet to make it easy and economical worldwide. No other country is using geothermal similar to Iceland. It is the leader by far.
"Nothing has been happening with geothermal, but that is something we have to change," Bjarnason said. Iceland is in the best circumstance possible for geothermal energy after starting to tap it 100 years ago and then converting the whole Island to geothermal starting in 1973. Residential heat is now 100 percent renewable from geothermal or electricity from geothermal or hydro energy.
Part of the stalled activity is cost of drilling geothermal wells and the risk of a dry one, which happens quite often even with all the geology used to forecast success. "It is similar to oil drilling. You don't know what you've got until you're finished," Bjarnason said.
The country also devalued its currency by 50 percent during the monetary crisis that hit Europe and the world, which caused a setback to progressive plans for geothermal energy activity. Reykjavik Energy was hard hit during the downturn in economics.

Kenya is shifting from hydropower to geothermal energy as its base load. Already over a billion investments have already been introduced in the hub of rapidly growing East Africa. That is why, the 4th annual World Geothermal Energy Summit will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on 12-13 December 2013 to dig deep into the issues of regulatory and private sector support, introduction of investment and equipment and requirements important to investors and developers. Site tour at the KenGen Geothermal Plant already confirmed on 13 December 2013! Call our Secretariat for more info at +65 6818 6344 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

I really like GTherm's approach to EGS and hope it pans out. It basically guarantees that there's no such thing as a "dry hole" or "unsuitable strata" and can be used anywhere, so long as you can drill deep enough to get to hot rock. It's a single-well approach (both injection and recovery) and an entirely closed loop. The well goes down to the hot zone then bifurcates repeatedly. The wells use a special thermally-conductive grout. You're heating the water in the well itself rather than taking from a natural hot water aquifer or injecting water to be heated and then recovering - basically, you're turning the ground into a big heat sink. No fracking, no water loss, no corrosive contaminants, just a straightforward closed loop.
World Geothermal Energy Summit 2013 ---------------------------------------- Connecting Technology, Financing and Regulation towards a Sustainable East African Geothermal Energy Portfolio ---------------------------------------- 5-6 December 2013 Nairobi, Kenya & Olkaria Geothermal Field, Naivasha, Kenya ---------------------------------------- According to the African Union Commission (AUC), the Geothermal Risk Mitigation Fund, launched last month in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Ethiopia and administered by German insurance company, KfW, will provide more than Sh5 billion (50 million euros) to compensate companies or government bodies that are unsuccessful in undertaking exploration drilling of geothermal prospects. This fund entails that organisations which take insurance cover with KfW get back 80 per cent of the money invested in the exploratory activities if it drills a well with capacity to produce less than 5MW. Kenya expects to benefit significantly as it is estimated to hold more than two thirds of the geothermal potential in the region, estimated to be over 10,000MW. This is why, the 4th World Geothermal Energy Summit 2013 will be held in Nairobi, Kenya on 5-6 December 2013. The 4th annual WGES will discuss the opportunities to ensure your return on capital (ROC) in this ebullient emerging market as you solidify your East African geothermal energy business, including: >> Contract formats and indicative power costs under Joint Venture and Energy Conversion Agreements >> Geothermal risk mitigation >> Land acquisition and management and >> Human resettlement strategy and execution SECURE YOUR PLACE today in one of these 4 easy ways: >> Call: +65 6818 6344 >> Fax: +65 6818 634

Remembering the late and great Andy Whitfield, our Champion.
Andy Whitfield was born on October 17th, 1971, in Amwlch, Wales. He became an engineer after graduating from the University of Sheffield, England, and worked in Lidcombe, New South Wales, Australia as an engineer before settling in Sydney in 1999.
He married Vashti Whitfield and together they have two beautiful children, son Jesse Red, 7, and daughter Indigo Sky, 4.
Our Champion gained his first prominent role in the Australian supernatural film 'Gabriel'. However, his role as the Thracian rebel and warrior "Spartacus" in 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand' propelled him to stardom and into our hearts and minds, forever.
In March 2010, Andy was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a type of cancer, and was given between 3-6 months to live if he did not receive treatment. He began undergoing treatment immediately in New Zealand.
Although declared cancer-free only two months later, Andy suffered a recurrence of the disease later in the year and was ultimately compelled to abandon his role as Spartacus.
Sadly, our Champion passed away in Sydney, Australia, on September 11th, 2011, 18 months after his initial cancer diagnosis. He was 39.
"On a beautiful sunny Sydney morning, surrounded by his family, in the arms of his loving wife, our beautiful young warrior Andy Whitfield lost his 18-month battle with lymphoma cancer." - wife Vashti Whitfield, in a statement
Andy, even though you were only with us for a short time, the lessons and joy you brought and continue to bring so many will keep your close to our souls, close to our minds, and forever in our hearts.
"Be Here Now"
In June, a campaign was set up to fund "Be Here Now", a film by Oscar-winning director Lilibet Foster, which documents Andy's battle with NHL.
The campaign was a huge success, with just over $300,000 raised in total funds! Please visit http://beherenowfilmcomingsoon.com to stay up-to-date with the film's progress.

TSA workers ratify first union contract
Friday - 11/9/2012, 12:35pm EST
A historic labor agreement covering 45,000 transportation security officers has been ratified.
In August, the federal union American Federation of Government Employees and the Transportation Security Administration reached a deal on the first-ever union contract for TSOs, who are responsible for screening people and baggage at the nation's airports.
The final vote was 17,326 to 1,774.
"This agreement will mean better working conditions, fair evaluation practices and safer workplaces, and in doing so, it will improve morale. This is important because low morale leads to unsafe levels of attrition in an agency where a stable, professional workforce of career employees is vital to its national security mission," said J. David Cox, AFGE president, in a statement.
The contract that AFGE and TSA agreed to included increasing the uniform allowance from $232 to $317 per year, as well as providing three pairs of pants and three shirts at no cost.
TSOs will also have more consistency on annual leave bidding and shift trades, according to a release from the union.
The ratification of the contract represents the culmination of 11 years of organizing efforts, AFGE said.
At that time, TSA Administrator John Pistole said the agreement represents a "significant milestone" in the agency's relationship with its employees.
AFGE is the largest federal employee union, representing 650,000 federal employees.
TSA labor deal includes revamped performance reviews, due process

A local baseball team hopes that hit-athon will help a little girl recover from eye cancer.
The Tracy-based Junior Mob MonStars, which has under-12 and under-13 teams playing in a fall league in Manteca, is raising money with a hit-athon at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13, at Clyde Bland Park, 1753 Blandford Lane.
Pita Corral, whose husband, Raymond, is a coach and whose daughter, Araya, plays on the MonStars U13 team, said that the teams have adopted Violet Brielle, who will be 3 in Decmeber, of Gig Harbor, Wash., the cousin of U13 player Zamora Souza of Tracy.
Violet has spent the past two years undergoing treatment for retinoblastoma, including surgery and chemotherapy at Seattle Children's Hospital.
Corral said that the teams have raised per-hit pledges and donations in advance of Sunday's event.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 13, 2011)—Trainer John Shirreffs will start a pair of 3-year-old fillies – Nereid and Star Billing – in search of a second consecutive win in the $250,000 American Oaks Saturday at Hollywood Park.
A Grade I at 1 ¼ miles on turf, the American Oaks is one of three stakes to be offered the next-to-last day of the Spring/Summer meet. The others are the $200,000 A Gleam Handicap, a Grade II for older fillies and mares at seven furlongs over Cushion Track and the $100,000 Landaluce for 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs.
The Landaluce is the fourth on the 10 race card, the American Oaks is the sixth and the A Gleam is the ninth.
There's also a grab bag giveaway – one per paid admission while supplies last. Post time Saturday is 1 p.m. Track gates open at 10:30 a.m.
Shirreffs, who won the 2010 American Oaks with Harmonious, will try to become the second trainer to repeat in a race celebrating its 10th anniversary. Todd Pletcher went back-to-back with Wait a While (2006) and Panty Raid (2007).
Star Billing is the more accomplished of the Shirreffs duo. A daughter of Dynaformer and the Thunder Gulch mare Topliner, she's won two of three, including the Grade III Senorita Stakes May 7, for owner-breeder George Krikorian. An earner of $122,400, Star Billing was second behind Sarah's Secret in the Grade II Honeymoon Handicap June 11 in her sole defeat.
Owned by Eric Kronfeld, Nereid, like her stablemate, has won twice in three starts, but has not yet run in a graded race. The Rock Hard Ten filly out of the Belong to Me Mare Dowry has collected both victories over the Hollywood Park turf, winning versus maidens May 7, before taking a June 2 allowance.
A double graded stakes winner earlier in the year at Santa Anita, Cambina will be looking for her first victory in her third race over the Hollywood Park turf. Owned by a partnership and trained by Jeff Bonde, the Irish bred daughter of Hawk Wing and the Peintre Celebre Await was a head behind Star Billing when third in the Honeymoon. She's won five of 11 while earning $270,426.
Bizzy Caroline arrives from Kentucky on a roll for owner-breeder Catesby Clay and trainer Ken McPeek. An Afleet Alex filly out of the Saint Ballado mare Sacre Coeur, Bizzy Caroline has won three in a row, including the Grade III Regret June 18 at Churchill Downs. She's won half of her six lifetime starts and has a bankroll of $148,497.
Entrustment, a daughter of Forestry and the Private Account mare Entrusted, has won two of six and earned $70,320. Owned by Edward and Theresa DeNike and trained by Paddy Gallagher, Entrustment was fourth – defeated by one length – in the Honeymoon.
Love Theway Youare will be making her first appearance on grass for owner-trainer Myung Kwon Cho. The Arch filly out of the Tabasco Cat mare has won two of nine and earned $112,720.
From inside out, the field for the American Oaks: Entrustment, Alonso Quinonez rides, 121 pounds; Love Theway Youare, Victor Espinoza, 121; Nereid, Joe Talamo, 121; Cambina, Martin Garcia, 121; Star Billing, Joel Rosario, 121 and Bizzy Caroline, Rafael Bejarano, 121.
The A Gleam, which will be run for the 57th time, is a Breeders' Cup "Win and You're In'' event. The Breeders' Cup nominated winner of the race will earn a spot in the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint Nov. 4 at Churchill Downs. Additionally, the winner of the A Gleam will have BC pre-entry and entry fees waived and receive a $10,000 travel allowance.
Ultra Blend, who won the Grade II Milady Handicap May 21 due to the disqualification of St Trinians, will cut back in distance Saturday.
Trained by Art Sherman for owner Nels Erickson, the 5-year-old Richly Blended mare out of the Desert Classic mare Ankha has won five of her last six. The Milady was the second stakes win of the Spring/Summer meet for the California bred mare. Ultra Blend had captured the B. Thoughtful California Gold Rush Day (April 23).
A winner of four consecutive races over Cushion Track, Ultra Blend has won 10 of 21 and earned $625,646.
Bob Baffert, the leading trainer at the Spring/Summer meet in terms of both wins (34) and stakes victories (seven), entered a trio in the A Gleam – American Story, Fund Raiser and Irish Gypsy.
Owned by Kaleem Shah, American Story shortens up after finishing last in the Grade I Vanity Handicap June 18. The 4-year-old daughter of Ghostzapper and the Meadowlake mare Holiday Runner has won three of seven, earning $189,200. This will be her first start around one turn since she won her debut at 6 ½ furlongs Aug. 6, 2010 at Del Mar.
A 5-year-old Harlan's Holiday mare out of the Unreal Zeal mare Zealous Folia, Fund Raiser has won four of 14 and earned $217,059 for owner Arnold Zetcher.
Owned by Mike Pegram and John Sikura, Irish Gypsy comes off consecutive wins in the Valid Expectations May 30 at Lone Star Park and the Desert Stormer Handicap here June 19. The 5-year-old daughter of Hennessy and the Relaunch mare Rayelle has won five of 13 and banked $239,420.
Tanda will seek to end a four race losing streak in the A Gleam. Trained by Dan Hendricks for Tommy Hutton's Dream Stable LLC, the 4-year-old Sweetsouthernsaint filly and the In Excess mare Doc's Stormy Girl hasn't won since taking the Grade III Railbird Stakes May 5, 2010. Like the A Gleam, the Railbird is run at seven furlongs over Cushion Track.
A Florida bred, Tanda has won four of 10 and banked $232,626.
Winless in five 2011 starts, Washington Bridge will be seeking her third stakes win at Hollywood Park for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer, who co-owns the 4-year-old with Mark DeDomenico LLC.
A daughter of Yankee Gentleman and the Prized mare Stirling Bridge, Washington Bridge has won five of 23 while earning $255,775. Her local stakes wins were the restricted Life Is Sweet Stakes last Nov. 12 and the Grade II Bayakoa Handicap 23 days later.
Winner of the Grade I Madison April 14 over the Polytrack at Keeneland, Shotgun Gulch will make her Hollywood Park debut for owner-breeder-trainer C.R. Trout. The 4-year-old daughter of Thunder Gulch and the Boston Harbor mare Rosieville has won seven of 18 and earned $488,309. Since arriving in Southern California, Shotgun Gulch has been stabled with trainer Bruce Jackson.
Trainer Brian Koriner, who won the 2010 A Gleam with Sweet August Moon, will try for a repeat with Church Camp.
Owned by Pete Parrella's Legacy Ranch, Inc., Judith Carmel and Bill Strauss, Church Camp has won four of 10 while earning $146,420. She has been no better than fifth in three previous appearances in graded races.
If Church Camp wins, Koriner will become the third trainer in a row to win the A Gleam in successive years. Hollendorfer won with Somethinaboutlaura (2006-2007) and John Sadler repeated with Dearest Trickski (2008) and Evita Argentina (2009).
Mildly Offensive will make her first appearance over Cushion Track for owner Warren Williamson and trainer Carla Gaines. Fourth in the Manhattan Beach Stakes on turf June 18, the Sharp Humor filly out of the Personal Flag mare It's Personal is 2-for-3 with a bankroll of $96,762.
If Mildly Offensive defeats her elders Saturday, she would become the fourth 3-year-old to win the A Gleam, joining Evita Argentina (2009), Honeymoon (1946) and Painted Veil (1941). The race was known as the Sequoia Handicap when Honeymoon and Painted Veil won.
From inside out, the field for the A Gleam: Church Camp, Alonso Quinonez rides, 114 pounds; Fund Raiser, Rafael Bejarano, 118; American Story, Joel Rosario, 115; Ultra Blend, David Flores, 119; Irish Gypsy, Martin Garcia, 120; Mildly Offensive, Chantal Sutherland, 112; Washington Bridge, Joe Talamo, 115; Tanda, Victor Espinoza, 117 and Shotgun Gulch, Mike Smith, 119.
Killer Graces, who won the Cinderella Stakes June 11 in her first start for Hollendorfer after being privately purchased, should benefit from the additional sixteenth of a mile in the Landaluce.
The Congaree filly out of the Old Trieste mare Heatherdoesntbluff is 1-for-2 with earnings of $53,530.
Trainer Peter Miller, who won the 2006 Landaluce with Pinata, will have two representatives – Woebegon and Stayclassysandiego – in 2011.
Owned by Mace and Samantha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable, Woebegon was a gate-to-wire winner at nearly 14-1 in her June 26 debut. The daughter of Saint Anddan and the Montbrook mare Wonton earned $30,000 for the impressive score.
Claimed for $40,000 by Miller for owner Gary Barber out of a debut win June 10, Stayclassysandiego is a Rockport Harbor filly out of the Forest Wildcat mare Latin Lynx. She eaned $16,200 for the 4 ¼ length victory.
Mighty Caroline was another first out winner, prevailing by a head June 12. The gray daughter of Stormy Atlantic and the Maria's Mon mare Mighty Renee banked $30,000 for owner-breeder John Liviakis and trainer Melody Conlon.
Son de America will make her initial start since winning her two furlong debut April 14 at Santa Anita. Owned by a partnership and trained by Marcelo Polanco, the Discreet Cat filly out of the Street Cry mare Elizabeth Street earned $15,000 for her victory in the $100,000 maiden claimer.
Chloe W was second in the Cinderella for Gem Inc. and trainer Eric Kruljac. The El Corredor filly out of the Lively One mare Fair and Lively earned $14,510 in her debut.
From inside out, the field for the Landaluce: Woebegon, Martin Pedroza rides, 117 pounds; Killer Graces, Joe Talamo, 120; Stayclassysandiego, Victor Espinoza, 117; Mighty Caroline, Joel Rosario, 117; Chloe W, Rafael Bejarano, 115 and Son de America, Tyler Baze, 117.

European countries around the Black Sea feature a bit of the East in their musical heritage: listen for strains of irresistible folk music and choose among dozens of international festivals when you travel to the inland sea of Europe.
Turkey's music is influenced, as is the rest of its culture, by a rich combination of diverse cultures and its position at the axis of the cultures of the East, the West, the Middle Eastern, the Mediterranean and Islam. This colorful portrait holds just as true for Turkey's music. Listen for Turkish folk music, Turkey's own brand of classical music, based on traditional Turkish music interpreted with the values of Western classical tradition. You'll hear warm sounds and infectious rhythms that will make you want to get up and dance. Classical, pop and contemporary music are alive and well in Turkey, particularly in Istanbul.
One of the most outstanding musical aspects of Bulgaria is the Bulgarian State Television Female Vocal Choir, a name which is inversely proportionate to the haunting, otherworldly sound of the strong, clear voices singing dissonant but bewitching songs. Folk music is played on a variety of stringed instruments, flutes and bagpipe analogs and drums; you can find it without too much trouble in smaller towns. Expect your toes to tap; dancing is an important part of folk tradition so the music is meant to get you up and on the floor. Sofia attracts loads of contemporary artists for concerts and club dates.
When you visit Romania, be sure to attend one of its many festivals celebrating all aspects of folk culture to hear folk music in addition to enjoying traditional crafts and dancing. The National Radio Orchestra, one of the best in the country, presents frequent classical chamber music performances at the music hall in the radio building.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 10, 2010)-A thirteenth appearance in a Grade or Group 1 race turned out to be lucky for Awesome Gem as the 7-year-old upset heavily-favored Rail Trip to win the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup Saturday at Hollywood Park.
The 8-1 surprise in the day's biggest race was one of many in the latter half of the card, so there is a two-day Pick Six carryover of $514,127 for Sunday. Post time Sunday is 1 p.m. and the Pick Six begins in the fourth race.
Given a ground saving journey by jockey David Flores in a race that featured a very slow pace, Awesome Gem came through with the first Grade 1 victory of his career, winning by a half-length as the 8-1 fourth choice. The field was reduced to six after Tap It Light was scratched Saturday morning.
A gelded son of Awesome Again out of the Pentelicus mare Piano, Awesome Gem, who had been 2-3 in four of his previous Grade I starts, completed the 1 ¼ miles over Cushion Track in 2:03.31.
Owned by West Point Thoroughbreds and trained by Craig Dollase, Awesome Gem's win was his sixth in 36 lifetime starts. The $300,000 payday pushed him over $2 million. His bankroll stands at $2,274,682.
He is also the oldest winner of the Gold Cup since Native Diver scored the last of his three wins in the race as an 8-year-old in 1967.
The victory was the third in the Gold Cup for Flores, whose earlier wins in the track's signature race had come aboard Marquetry (1991) and Siphon (1996). Awesome Gem paid $18, $4.40 and $2.40.
Seeking to become the third multiple winner of the race and the first horse to win the Mervyn LeRoy, Californian and Gold Cup in the same year since Eleven Stitches in 1981, Rail Trip, the 2-5 favorite, paid $2.20 and $2.10.
Richard's Kid, who finished 2 ¾ lengths behind Rail Trip, returned $2.20 to show.
"He finished like he had in his last two works over this track,'' said Dollase, who had been disqualified out of a Gold Cup victory in 2001 when Futural crossed the wire first, but was placed third by the stewards, making Aptitude the official winner.
"This horse can run over anything. Synthetic, grass, mud, you name it. He's very versatile and a real pleasure to train. This means a lot. A lot of work. My help and everybody have been real supportive.
"The owners have been real patient and given this horse time when he has needed it. He's like fine wine. He's just getting better with age. He's in his prime right now.''
After anticipated pace presence Tres Borrachos broke last, Compari found himself on the lead and was able to get away with extremely soft fractions – 25.82 for the opening quarter, 50.95 for the half mile and 1:15.12 for six furlongs – but he still had little to offer in the stretch and wound up fifth as the 7-1 third choice.
Meanwhile, Rail Trip, who had never been off the lead in his impressive victories in the LeRoy and Californian, was wide throughout and found himself behind the stretch running Richard's Kid with a quarter of a mile to run.
"Rough trip,'' said Ron Ellis, trainer of the defending champion. "It just didn't work out today. He was wide. I don't know why. I don't know what it was. You would have to ask him (jockey Rafael Bejarano).''
Looking for his first win in the race, Bejarano thought things changed for him after the opening turn.
"I was traveling well and was in good position on the first turn,'' he said. "After the first turn, (Cigar Man) just pushed me out. I was trying to follow the speed, but they were going so slow. I didn't want to rush him, so I waited for the half-mile.
"I don't think he ran his race because he was so wide on the first turn and the second turn.''
Flores had no such issues. He angled inside Compari in the final eighth of a mile and was able to guide Awesome Gem to his second victory in nine attempts at 10 furlongs.
"Everybody went at the half-mile and I tried not to lose my position and wait for that pocket to come at the end,'' said Flores. "Mike Smith (on Compari) was about ready to shut off the hole, but he looked like he ran out of horse, so it was very nice of him to leave me that spot.
"When that hole opened up, I couldn't look for any better spot than that. That was the most beautiful thing, when you have a horse that can accelerate like that at any time. He's just been unlucky before, but today he did the job.''
Two races before the Gold Cup, E Z's Gentleman became a Grade 1 winner with an authoritative victory in the $250,000 Triple Bend Handicap.
In the process, the 5-year-old son of Yankee Gentleman and the Distinctive Pro mare Tensie's Pro helped jockey Martin Pedroza make some Hollywood Park history.
The win for owner Arnold Zetcher and trainer Bob Baffert was the 1,000th at Hollywood Park for Pedroza, who will turn 45 on July 20.
The Panamian-born rider is only the 10th jockey to reach the milestone. He joins Laffit Pincay, Jr., who leads with 3,049, Bill Shoemaker, Chris McCarron, Alex Solis, Eddie Delahoussaye, Patrick Valenzuela, Gary Stevens, Corey Nakatani and John Longden on the exclusive list.
Pincay, Shoemaker, McCarron, Delahoussaye, Stevens and Longden are in racing's Hall of Fame.
It was also the first win in a Grade 1 at Hollywood Park for Pedroza.
"When I used to be in the jock's room with Shoemaker and McCarron I was the bambino,'' said Pedroza. "That's what Shoemaker used to call me, The Bambino.
"Now they call me the veteran here. I'm sweating so much because this is like winning the Santa Anita Handicap or six races in a day. To get my 1,000th win here in a Grade 1, it means a lot to me.''
The win was the fourth in 15 starts for E Z's Gentleman. He has earned $299,711.
The 7-2 third choice, E Z's Gentleman paid $9.80, $4.80 and $3.20. Sangaree, the fourth choice at nearly 6-1 and also trained by Baffert, returned $4.80 and $2.60. He finished one length in front of 3-2 favorite Gayego. The show price on Gayego, who had won his two previous starts at Hollywood Park, was $2.40.
The final time for seven furlongs over Cushion Track was 1:21.11.
The win was the second in a row in the Triple Bend for Baffert and the third of his career. The Hall of Fame trainer won with Zensational in 2009 and with Letthebighossroll in 1996.
Before Saturday, Darrell Vienna had been the last trainer to win the Triple Bend in consecutive years. Vienna succeeded with Disturbingthepeace (2002) and Joey Franco (2003).

Belgium's Philippe Gilbert won the UCI world championship road race Sunday with an attack up the Cauberg climb in The Netherlands to become the fourth world road champion on the BMC Racing Team.
Enough Time To Celebrate
Gilbert followed the attack of Italy's Vincenzo Nibali (Liquigas-Cannondale) in the early part of the 1,200-meter climb before launching his own attack that opened up a gap that grew increasingly large as he topped the summit, 1.7 kilometers from the finish line of the 267.4 km race. The double stage winner at the Vuelta a España had enough time to celebrate as he rolled in four seconds ahead of runner-up Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky Procycling) of Norway. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) of Spain was third. Gilbert follows in the footsteps of the BMC Racing Team's previous world road champions: Alessandro Ballan of Italy (2008), Cadel Evans of Australia (2009) and Thor Hushovd of Norway (2010).
'Had A Good Feeling'
Gilbert credited his teammates, who included BMC Racing Team's Greg Van Avermaet, for helping him score the biggest win of his 10-year professional career. "The whole team did a really good job," he said. "I was well-placed at the bottom of the Cauberg and while I knew I didn't immediately have a huge gap, I had a good feeling because I've won the Amstel Gold Race here. Plus, there was a tailwind, so that was good." A past Belgian national road and time trial champion, Gilbert was the No. 1 ranked rider in the world in 2011 but had struggled to find the same form this season. He finished third at Flèche Wallonne in April and scored four top 10 finishes at the Tour de France before his victories on Stages 9 and 19 at the Vuelta.
Ochowicz: We Supported Each Other
BMC Racing Team President/General Manager Jim Ochowicz, who watched the race on-site in Valkenburg, said Gilbert's victory is a once-in-a-lifetime accomplishment that was many months in the making. "This showed the faith he had in us, coming to our team, and the faith we had in bringing him on as well," Ochowicz said. "As a group, we supported each other through sometimes difficult moments. But in the end, being a world champion is one of the greatest rewards that can be bestowed upon an athlete." Gilbert's world title added to a silver medal he won last Sunday with the BMC Racing Team in the team time trial.
Lelangue: Gilbert Remained Focused
BMC Racing Team Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Gilbert remained focused on the world road race throughout the season, knowing it suited him well. "After the beginning of the season that we all know, he stayed concentrated during the Tour de France and the Belgian national time trial championships before the Vuelta," he said. "From then on, he was totally focusing on this. He did a great Vuelta preparation and came to the team time trial in great condition. He's had this race on his mind since the beginning of the season. We knew with good preparation and a good team around him, he could do it." Lelangue said he spent the days leading up to Sunday's race in The Netherlands checking on the preparation of Gilbert and the BMC Racing Team's other nine riders in the race – eight of whom finished.
Rihs: 'A Champions Team'
BMC Racing Team sponsor Andy Rihs was also at the race to celebrate and nearly lost his voice cheering Gilbert on to victory. "It was the dream we hoped about and it happened," he said. "I'm so happy for Philippe. When you have a hope to do something and it happens, it's the best feeling in the world. Nobody is more happy than all the members of the team – the BMC manufacturers and dealers, the riders on the BMC Racing Team and of course, the entire organization. This is such a merited reward. Four world champions in the team. Think about that for a moment. It's a champions team."

well it has gotten me excited.
I would like to know how it stands against the 7970.
I second that, really looking forward to how these cards match up (or crush) those from ATI.
That sounds pretty epic, its time for HH to break one in :)
That's pretty cool if there will be such a jump in performance, although I wonder if the demo was optimized at all since last year. Either way it's gonna be good when kepler cards are finally available.

7ha7s a BA demo on my 5870 and it has to be better on a Kepler, the thing is though if it runs flawless on my 5870 then it has been tweaked. Of course I would hope the demo run in a back room at GDC was better than that specific linked demo as well. If my 5870 runs it flawlessly and I see all the trails from the guns and the welding torch on the metal and flying particles and light/fog dithering etc. then I would imagine that to be at least 200% better on a 7870 if not 400% and the Kepler is supposed to be beyond that considerably from what there saying. We will see what the difference is in actual Dave and Marco testing at that time minus the bu11shi7 from the OEM and I will make my decision then. I will say one thing though I am already looking forward to Samaritan that was one awesome demo.
I am waiting for this "next gen" hardware to fully materialize for my next build, as I was so close to pulling the trigger on a 2600K/MaximusIV/6970 but held off. An Ivy Bridge i7-3770K and MaximusV will now be the backbone of my build, and I am banking on supreme OC'ing with the new architecture to hit 5ghz+ on water easy. Now it comes down to whether to go 7970 or (presumably) GTX670/80... If the new nvidia cards overclock as well as ATI, that will be nice...but I want to see real world tests, and nVidia is losing ground.
NDA's suck....
Is it gonna be worth the (choke) one thousand dollars (gasp) for the card?
Maybe I'll win one of them,......
Dogs are great judges of character, and if your dog doesn't like somebody being around, you shouldn't trust them.
If this is true it is no wonder it took them this long to be bringing Keplar to the table. Somehow I don't really believe that the 680 is going to be as powerful as 3 580s I agree with everyone else the demo must have been optimized.
Can't help thinking that it might be wise to wait for a thorough test before jumping on this one. «A powerful as three GeForce GTX 580 videocards» ? Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. But if, indeed, these claims are proven to be true, that could mean that prices for GTX 580 (and earlier) cards would drop, a not unwelcome developement....
Seems kind of ridiculous if this is true. With the new consoles like Xbox running a 6670 GPU having a computer with a card that powerful would probably never be utilized atleast for the next 5-6 years since most games today are made for consoles and this is likely only going to increase in the future. My old GTS 250 can still play the newest BF3 on high settings.
Hmm, I hope my old 9800 GT can last long enough for this come out. I used to have a GTX 470 I bought in 2010 and it was awesome, but it died this week. I'm lucky I didn't give away the 9800. I was about to buy a Galaxy 570, but depending on when Keplers are gonna come out I'll keep using the 9800 since it's still a pretty strong card. No DX11 graphics for me I guess.
I won a system here on HH that had a EVGA 2GB GTX285 in it. That 285 is still running strong, but doesn't have DX11 either. It's not much of a problem.
I almost always keep old Video cards on hand, probably for the same reason you saved yours. They're great to fall back on in a pinch.
I guess that ~if~ these new cards can really get the performance of three 580's, they'll be worth a lot of cash. But rumors of a 1K price tag make them too expensive for a lot of us peons.
For sure. But I'm hoping after the first wave of the expensive ones, they release budget ones, sort of like the 560. I mostly use mine for gaming, and until new consoles come out, the majority of PC games are gonna be console ports that don't need that much power, so a low to mid range Kepler should be more than enough.
To be honest , as much as I like the high end stuff, a smaller, lower range card probably suits my build better anyway. The 470 was a beast and I'm pretty sure it died because of the poor ventilation in my small case. I made sure the temps never went into a danger zone, but they were consistently on the high end of the acceptable range without any OC and I think that wore it out. I'll have to do an overhaul eventually with a new case, MB, and CPU, but until then all I can afford to upgrade is a graphics card.
I agree about not really needing the best that they make. Gaming software development hasen't really caught up with the High end cards we have today. PC Hardware far outpaces what software can do usually.
While I'd love to get one of these monster cards, I really do not see it happening for me, for a long time.
Damn. Makes me want to make an unecessary upgrade. I have no problems with my 280, but this card sounds pretty sexy.
These will not be going for a grand, that price point is reserved for the GTX 690. I'm guessiing $499-$549 for a 680. Hopefully their 560/Ti replacement isn't too far off.
I have doubts about the "3X 580" performance though. Can't wait for the reviews :)
We'll see about the price. I heard that from some people who are reveiwing the cards now.
If it's less then it will only be a ~few years~ instead of a lifetime before I can afford one of them.
Simply awesome. If NVIDIA has something like this up their sleeves with an affordable price point then I could see myself buying one mainly for the fact that these cards will have loads-o-power within them; it may not replace 3 GTX 580's but it will be a worthy purchase nonetheless.
"The future starts with you; now start posting more!"
This doesn't seem true....
twistedfate:This doesn't seem true....
All we can do it wait to see if it is,.....and then see what the price is gonna be. There is just as much back and forth about it's price as there is about it's performance.
This article is uninformed. The new Samaratin demo uses a different, cheaper antialiasing and thus can run faster. It's got settings changed and bears no comparison. Its like them saying the can run Crysis at more FPS on NV than AMD without telling you they dropped the resolution.
Its also worth noting that the video above is A YEAR OLD!!!!! It doesn't demonstrate Kepler at all and this is the same video NVidia use on their site.
NVidia are really making me sick with their manipulation of their customers.
Superstrung:NVidia are really making me sick with their manipulation of their customers.
Quick then, go buy three HD7970's!
Yawn, are you implying I'm a fanboi? Very mature.
If thats all you took from what I wrote then by all means go find something shiny to throw your money at...
No, I though that your last sentence was a bit,...no, a lot whiny. That's why I suggested that you buy AMD.
NVIDIA is under no obligation to you or anyone else. All they have to do is provide the product that you or I want, and maintain decent drivers for it after the sale. The kind of hype that is geneated by this piece and others is just to get you interested. If it works, great. If it does not, oh well. It's marketing, plain and simple.
I never throw my money at anything that hasn't even been released. And hardly ever before it's been out for at least 6 months.
But what you really did was leave a troll comment and now your trying to play it off as a constructive suggestion.
My comments about the integrity of this article stand, its just a pity I cant express myself without childish responses.
Your comment about Nvidia treating their customers shabbily was BS buddy. I stand by that .
If you didn't have a picture next to your posts I'd assume you were an attention deprived child.
If you cant engage someone in conversation, why open your mouth at all?
Well the stage is now your for the last word.
Later Bud
Not going to get mixed up in your bickering, but you are wrong to state that the article has any misinformation. All we did was report that Epic showed off Samaritan running on a single Kepler card--which they did. And that the demo required 3 x GTX 580s to run at fluide framerates--which it did.
For what it's worth, I have personally watched this demo run on a single Kepler based card myself. I'm not about to break an embargo, but based on the specs of NVIDIA's upcoming card, you can expect in some circumstances, performance to be some level higher than two GTX 580s. You'll all know more in due time.

Yes, 8, Can't answer your PM but, yes, will check it out. Thanks
I haven't been very active on this forum during the past couple of months, but I also feel bad if the forum goes down along with the company. I am also worried about the Martin/Rytera web sites with all the technical information etc. Perhaps I should try to download the whole sites as an off-line copy to my computer... Maybe others want to consider that, too? Instructions, for example: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/196646 . I will try how it works.
And thank you guys - always a good spirit on this forum.

I'm having issues too and there doesn't seem to be any way I can fix it. This could be the start of what we all fear.

Pakistan this week, we saw the power of the people in action.
Ordinary Pakistani citizens rose up to fight President Musharraf's
injustice and corruption, and, as a result, Musharraf resigned rather
than face impeachment for his crimes against the constitution and
judiciary. Our friend from Pakistan writes: While the
US media's lens focused on the Taliban's resurgence and US casualties
in the region, a political and secular revolution was taking place
in the streets of Pakistan. The fact that the people of Pakistan
rose up against a US-backed military dictator and brought him down
with such success is testimony to the will of Pakistan's civilian
leadership which wants to save the country from corrupt leaders--both
military and religious."
us take inspiration from the people of Pakistan. We, too, want to
rise up to save our country from corrupt and unjust leaders.
That's why we've been trailing Nancy Pelosi to urge her
to put impeachment on the table (click

a recent disruption)
That's why we
will be in action at both the DNC and RNC conventions
in the coming weeks.
That's why we encourage you to find out what you can do in
your own community during the conventions. Click

viewing parties, and discover other creative, effective actions
you can take in your neighborhood.
That's why we need you to mark your calendars for September
20th, when the peace community will come together in
a massive effort to knock on one million doors for peace. We can
do it if
you join us. Also,
here to find out how to reach out to your neighbors with
our peace platform and remind them that they have the power at the
polls to bring peace into the election!
