En español | It's Black History Month, so find a spot on the sofa, grab the DVD remote and settle in for a cinematic ride through African American history.

The AARP Bulletin asked film historian Donald Bogle to share his list of eight movies that depict the African American experience at pivotal stages in our nation's past. In addition to teaching film at New York University and the University of Pennsylvania, Bogle is the prize-winning author of several books, including Dorothy Dandridge: A Biography and Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies & Bucks: An Interpretive History of Blacks in American Films. His latest is Heat Wave: The Life and Career of Ethel Waters.
Slavery: Roots (1977)
The slave drama took a lot of people by surprise when it first aired as a television miniseries based on the Alex Haley novel. "People were curious about it," Bogle says. "The other thing that was a great hook for it, in terms of bringing in viewers of all ages, was its young protagonist, Kunta Kinte, played by LeVar Burton. The younger audience could identify with him." Other notable actors in the story that followed several generations of a black family during slavery are John Amos, Lou Gossett Jr., Madge Sinclair, Leslie Uggams and Ben Vereen. "You had these exceptional performances and all of America was watching."
Civil War: Glory (1989)
Glory is about a group of African American soldiers in the Civil War. "We look at these men from the 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry and we see that they are heroic," Bogle says. "We see they, too, are making sacrifices and that they want their country to be a united country, and also free of racism." You get a sense of who these men are. "We hear them talk about experiences they had before they volunteered, but none of it's dramatized," which unfortunately is missing from the film. Morgan Freeman and Andre Braugher offer strong performances, and Denzel Washington won his first Oscar for his role as the fugitive slave Trip. "His performance alone makes this movie worth seeing."
The Great Migration: Underworld (1937)
"This gangster film, directed by Oscar Micheaux, is one of my guilty pleasures," Bogle says. "It is in many ways a mangled film; there are problems with the sound. But it's also very interesting." The film opens at a Negro college in the South, and the hero, a talented young man (played by Sol Johnson), goes north to Chicago to seek his fortune. But what he gets is a world of congestion, crime, violence and people with a whole other sort set of moral values and ethics. "The thing you notice about Micheaux is he always had noble black characters," Bogle says. "They are the ones who hold on to these higher standards. They're the ones you can see as our leaders of tomorrow."
Jim Crow: Pinky (1949)
In this film, which shows how African Americans had to live and function under Jim Crow segregation laws, the title character is a light-skinned black woman who returns home to the South after having lived as a free woman in the North. Ethel Waters earned an Oscar nomination for playing her hard-working grandmother, a woman who has lived in the South, and understands and accepts its rules. "The movie is about Pinky dealing with the racial bigotry that existed in the South and also coming to a deeper consciousness of who she is as an African American woman," Bogle says. He points out that one of the compromises of the film, directed by Elia Kazan, is that Jeanne Crain, a white actress, portrayed Pinky. "It was a well-written character and a black actress would have brought something else, but nonetheless I think Pinky is a movie audiences can benefit from."

A Life Defined Not By Disability, But Love
Originally published on Fri February 8, 2013 12:28 pm
When Bonnie Brown was pregnant with her daughter, Myra, she says she felt a mix of joy and anxiety.
"I hadn't ever been pregnant before," she says. "I never had really an idea of how to take care of a baby."
Brown, who is intellectually disabled, works at Wendy's while raising Myra as a single mom. Despite her disability, she says she never felt like her daughter was too much to handle.
"I think because I'm different it might seem hard for me, but I was going to give it all I got no matter what," she tells Myra, now 15, during a visit to StoryCorps.
Myra says she never realized her mom was "different," until she told her.
"I said to you, 'Myra, I know I am not like your friends' mothers, but I'm doing the best I can.' And you said, 'It's OK, Mommy,' " Brown recounts. "And that made me feel so good."
Myra remembers a time in third grade when her school held a parent-teacher conference. Before the meeting, Myra told her teacher in confidence that her mom's disabled.
"But the day after the interview, my teacher, she said that you seemed really intelligent. And that made me feel embarrassed," Myra says.
"Why?" her mom asks.
"Because I felt bad that I had said that, and then you had gone and you'd been fine," Myra says.
"No offense taken," she responds.
Today, Myra is enrolled in gifted and talented classes at her high school in Lansdowne, Pa., and hopes to attend the University of Cambridge when she graduates.
As a single mom raising Myra, Brown gets help from Community Interactions in Philadelphia, an organization that provides services for her, like cooking and running errands.
Yet Brown says the hardest thing she's had to overcome is emotional hurt. People often blatantly stare at Brown when they're out in public, Myra explains.
"And I would say something [to them]. I guess I am kind of protective," Myra adds.
Brown admits that she's also very protective of her daughter, but only because she cares about her so much.
"I am really thankful because you understand me, and you love me, and you accept me. And ... thank you for that," Brown tells her daughter.
"I don't know, you kind of make it seem like I tolerate you — I love you. You're a good parent, and just because you're disabled doesn't mean that you do anything less for me," Myra says.
Just like other parents, Brown says she wants to see Myra succeed and go on to college. "I want you to make something of yourself," she tells her.
"I want you to know that even though our situation is unique, I'm happy that I am in it because I am happy that I am with you," Myra says.
"Thank you, Myra, and I feel the same way. And I won't never change it for anything in this world."
Audio produced for Morning Edition by Katie Simon.
And it's time for StoryCorps, the project that records everyday people talking about their lives. And today, a conversation with Bonnie Brown, who's intellectually disabled with a low IQ, and works part time at Wendy's. She's a single mom, has a teenage daughter Myra, and they recently interviewed each other for StoryCorps.
MYRA: When you found out you were pregnant with me, like, what did you think?
BONNIE BROWN: I was very happy, and I was also scared.
MYRA: Why were you scared?
BROWN: Because I hadn't ever been pregnant before. I never had really an idea of how to take care for a baby.
MYRA: Did you ever feel like I was too much to handle, like, ever?
BROWN: No. I think because I'm different, it might seem hard for me, but I was going to give it all I got, no matter what.
MYRA: When I was a kid, I didn't realize that you were different, and you actually had to tell me, because I wasn't figuring it out.
BROWN: I said to you, I said: Myra, I know I am not like your friends' mothers, but I'm doing the best I can. And you said: It's OK, Mommy. And that made me feel so good. Has my disability affected your life?
MYRA: I guess, like, when I was little, you had to go in for my parent-teacher conference and, like, as a disclosure, I was like, my mom's disabled. But the day after the interview, my teacher said that you seemed really intelligent. And that made me feel embarrassed.
BROWN: Why?
MYRA: Because I had felt bad that I had said that, and then you had gone and you'd have been fine.
BROWN: No offense taken. You were just giving her a heads-up, right?
MYRA: Yeah. What's the hardest thing that you've overcome?
BROWN: Being hurt from people. Not physical, but just like...
MYRA: Like, emotionally?
BROWN: Yeah, yeah.
MYRA: There were times when we would go out, and people would just blatantly stare. And I would say something. I guess I'm kind of protective.
BROWN: I am really thankful, because you understand me and you love me and you accept me. And thank you for that.
MYRA: I don't know, you kind of make it seem like I tolerate you. I love you. You're a good parent, and just because you're disabled doesn't mean that you do anything less for me. You want me to succeed.
BROWN: Yes, I do. I want you to make something of yourself.
MYRA: I want you to know that even though our situation is unique, I'm happy that I'm in it, because I'm happy that I am with you.
BROWN: Thank you, Myra. And I feel the same way. I won't never change it for anything in this world.
INSKEEP: Bonnie Brown and her daughter Myra at StoryCorps in Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. Hey, she's enrolled in gifted and talented classes at her high school, hopes to attend Cambridge University when she graduates.
Goodness, excuse me. Their interview will be archived at the Library of Congress. Go to the podcast, npr.org. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Tower of Hercules
Tower of Hercules
The Tower of Hercules has served as a lighthouse and landmark at the entrance of La Coruña harbour in north-western Spain since the late 1st century A.D. when the Romans built the Farum Brigantium. The Tower, built on a 57 metre high rock, rises a further 55 metres, of which 34 metres correspond to the Roman masonry and 21 meters to the restoration directed by architect Eustaquio Giannini in the 18th century, who augmented the Roman core with two octagonal forms. Immediately adjacent to the base of the Tower, is a small rectangular Roman building. The site also features a sculpture park, the Monte dos Bicos rock carvings from the Iron Age and a Muslim cemetery. The Roman foundations of the building were revealed in excavations conducted in the 1990s. Many legends from the Middle Ages to the 19th century surround the Tower of Hercules, which is unique as it is the only lighthouse of Greco-Roman antiquity to have retained a measure of structural integrity and functional continuity.
Tour d'Hercule
La Tour d'Hercule sert de phare et de repère terrestre à l'entrée du port de La Corogne, au nord-ouest de l'Espagne, depuis la fin du 1er siècle après J.C., date à laquelle les Romains construisirent le Farum Brigantium. La Tour,construite sur un rocher représentant déjà une altitude de 57 m, atteint les 55m, dont 34 correspondent à la structure du phare romain et 21 à la restauration dirigée par l'architecte Eustaquio Giannini au XVIIIe siècle et qui ajouta à la structure romaine deux formes octogonales. A la base, se trouve un petit bâtiment romain rectangulaire. Le site comporte aussi un parc de sculptures, ainsi que les pétroglyphes du Monte dos Bicos datant de l'âge du Fer et un cimetière musulman. Les fondations romaines du phare ont été dégagées lors de fouilles menées dans les années 1990. De nombreuses légendes accompagnent l'histoire de la Tour du Moyen Age au XIXème siècle. C'est le seul cas de phare de l'Antiquité gréco-romaine véritablement conservé et toujours en activité.
برج هِرَقْل
اُستخدم برج هِرَقْل كمنارة ومعْلم في مدخل ميناء لاكورنيا الواقع في شمال ـ غرب اسبانيا منذ أواخر القرن الأول بعد الميلاد، عندما أنشأ الرومان برج بريغانتيا (Farum Brigantium). ويصل ارتفاع البرج، الذي أنشئ على صخرة يبلغ ارتفاعها 57 متراٌ، إلى أكثر من 55 متراً. وينقسم إلى ثلاثة مستويات تتدرج في الصغر، يخص أولها الطراز الروماني لبناء المنارات. ويلاصق قاعدة البرج مباشرة مبنى صغير مستطيل الشكل ذو طابع روماني. ويشمل هذا الموقع أيضاً مُجمّعاً يحوي نقوشاً صخرية تخص جبل بيكوس يعود تاريخها إلى عصر الحديد، فضلاً عن مدافن إسلامية. وقد اكتشفت أساسات المبنى ذات الطراز الروماني خلال الحفريات التي جرت في التسعينات. وثمة العديد من الأساطير التي تتعلق ببرج هِرَقْل انتشرت بدءاً من العصور الوسطى حتى القرن التاسع عشر، حيث أن هذا البرج يُعتبر فريداً من نوعه لأنه يمثل المنارة الوحيدة من العصر الإغريقي الروماني التي احتفظت بقدر معقول من سلامة بنيتها واستمرار تشغيلها.

Torre de Hércules
La Torre de Hércules sirve como faro y emblema de la entrada al puerto de La Coruña (noroeste) desde el siglo I de nuestra era, cuando los romanos lo construyeron con el nombre de Farum Brigantium. Este faro monumental de 55 metros está edificado sobre una roca que de 57 metros de altura. La torre consta de tres niveles que se van estrechando hacia la cúspide y el primero de ellos corresponde a la estructura del faro romano. Adyacente a su base, se halla un pequeño edificio romano de forma rectangular. El sitio comprende también los petroglifos del Monte dos Bicos que datan de la Edad de Hierro, un cementerio musulmán y un parque de esculturas. Los cimientos romanos del faro se pusieron al descubierto durante una serie de excavaciones arqueológicas llevadas a cabo en el decenio de 1990. Desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XIX, numerosas leyendas han ido jalonando la historia de la Torre de Hércules. Es el único faro de la Antigüedad grecorromana que ha conservado en cierta medida su integridad estructural y que sigue desempeñando la misma función.

Toren van Hercules
De Toren van Hercules heeft sinds de 1e eeuw na Christus als vuurtoren en oriëntatiepunt gediend voor de ingang van de haven La Coruña in noordwest Spanje. In die tijd bouwden de Romeinen de toren onder de naam Farum Brigantium. De toren staat op een 57 meter hoge rots en is 55 meter hoog. Hiervan is 34 meter Romeinse metselwerk en 21 meter werd geconstrueerd tijdens een 18e-eeuwse restauratie. Aan de basis van de toren grenst een rechthoekig Romeins gebouw. Verder kent het torengebied een beeldenpark – de Monte dos Bicos rotstekeningen uit de ijzertijd – en een islamitische begraafplaats.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief Synthesis
The Tower of Hercules is the only fully preserved Roman lighthouse that is still used for maritime signaling, hence it is testimony to the elaborate system of navigation in antiquity and it provides an understanding of the Atlantic sea route in Western Europe. The Tower of Hercules was restored in the 18th century in an exemplary manner, which has protected the central core of the original Roman monument while restoring its technical functions.
Criterion (iii): The Tower of Hercules is testimony to the use of lighthouses in antiquity. The Tower is also proof of the continuity of the Atlantic route from when it was first organised by the Romans, during a large part of the Middle Ages, and through to its considerable development in the modern and contemporary eras.
Integrity and Authenticity
The architectural integrity of the property, in the sense of a structurally complete building, and its functional integrity are satisfactory. While the authenticity of the central Roman core is certain, the authenticity of the building only makes sense when judged from the point of view of a technological property that has required numerous renovations and functional adaptations.
Management and protection requirements
The conservation of the property is monitored to a good scientific level. In the final analysis, all the measures and projects presented form an acceptable management plan. The role of the Tower Management Plan Monitoring Committee needs to be upgraded by virtue of its being the coordinating authority for the management of the property.
Historical Description
In 61 BCE a Roman seaborne expedition, probably led by Julius Caesar himself, landed at present-day La Coruña (Brigantium) with the intention of installing a port and commercial settlement. There had already been Roman colonisation along the Mediterranean facade of the Iberian Peninsula and along the south and south-west from the 2nd century BCE. The port of Brigantium played an important role during the Cantabrian Wars (29-19 BCE). Once peace was restored, its strategic maritime role at the entrance to the Bay of Biscay, as well as that of a trading station, were confirmed. It became a rear base for the conquest of the British Isles while Galicia was being Romanised.
Under the name of Farum Brigantium, the Tower was probably erected in the 1st century CE, at the latest in the reign of Trajan (98-117). The votive inscription on a small ancillary construction would appear to bear this out.
This monumental lighthouse is located at the entrance to La Coruña harbour, in the north-west of the Iberian Peninsula. It is designed to facilitate navigation along the rugged Galicia coastline, on a strategic point on the sea route linking the Mediterranean to northwest Europe.
A wood-fired system was located on the summit platform in a shelter opening on to the seaward facade; it possibly had columns used for navigational alignment when making the difficult approach and entry into the harbour.
On the basis of the surviving structure, the original tower had a horizontal cross-section measuring 11.75m (33 Roman feet) square. It was surrounded by a spiral ramp providing access to the platform. The base of the Tower rested on 18m square foundations.
The Tower's use as an illuminated lighthouse probably persisted for a relatively long time throughout the Roman Empire. It seems not to have been lit throughout most of the High Middle Ages, although it remained intact and continued to play a role as a landmark and watchtower. The gazetteer lists the names of farum and faro in the 9th and 10th centuries, probably with periods of return to nocturnal service depending on the historical context and the state of maritime navigation. It is difficult to determine exactly the Tower's use and upkeep in medieval times. It seems to have been abandoned and in poor condition after the Viking invasions (854-56), as was the city; it is, however, referred to in two 10th century texts as the Farum Precantium.
Medieval chronicles mention the creation of a fort and a small town in the 11th-12th centuries, in this same position. The Tower is referred to as the Castellum Pharum; at this time it was used for defensive purposes and as an observation post, which most likely saved it from probable ruin. The urban and port development of Burgo de Faro Novo, later Crunia, started at the end of the 12th century and into the following century, in connection with the reign of Ferdinand II and the Pilgrimage of Santiago de Compostela. The contemporary toponymy shows that the name then given to the Tower was Turrin de Faro suggesting its restoration as a lighthouse, but the external ramp appears to have been in ruins, perhaps as a result of the Tower's use for defensive purposes in the preceding centuries. The reuse of dressed stone from the collapsed parts of the Tower is reported during the late Middle Ages, until a 1557 municipal edict forbade this practice.
Starting in the 14th century, La Coruña became one of the kingdom's largest and most cosmopolitan ports. It was an essential stage between northern Europe and the Mediterranean world. The lighthouse's function would appear to have been fully restored at that time. The Tower of Hercules was a major symbol of the city in the 15th century, and was the main heraldic motif on the city's seal.
Iconography from the 16th century shows a highly restored Tower, notably fitted with a dome-shaped lantern. The external ramp no longer exists, but traces of its spiral shape are still visible. Work on the timber staircase is mentioned in the same period. There are several descriptions of the Tower in the 17th century. The first truly identifiable restoration was that led by the Duke of Uceda, the Captain General of Galicia in 1684-85. The presence of an internal staircase is again reported.
In 1755 the Lisbon earthquake affected many buildings in the La Coruña region, but the Tower survived thanks to its architectonic design and the quality of its mortar (see Description).
The major restoration-reconstruction work on the Tower was undertaken in two stages at the end of the 18th century, from 1788 to 1806. The work was carried for navigational reasons, the external condition of the Tower, and changes in lighting systems. The work was entrusted to the naval engineer Lieutenant Eustaquio Giannini. It was preceded and accompanied by measurements and plans that are invaluable in understanding the Tower in modern times. At this time, its height was significantly raised and it was fitted with a new bell lantern; the interior staircase was rebuilt; and the exterior facing and the openings were completely reconstructed (see Description). It assumed its current external form in Neo-Classical style. Additional work was carried out by José Giannini, Eustaquio's brother, between 1799 and 1806. The lantern and the lighting system were replaced for operational reasons and to take account of the most recent innovations, the bell turret was replaced by a new higher one, and a platform was added around the base of the Tower.
The optical system was again changed in 1847 for a very efficient catadioptric system using Fresnel lenses.
In the 1860s, ancillary buildings were erected and the access ways repaired. Further work was carried out in 1905: the internal staircase was again restored, this time entirely in stone.
The lighthouse was fitted with electric lighting in 1926, with its beam visible for up to 32 nautical miles.
In the 1990s excavations were undertaken at the base of the Tower, under the platform added in the early 19th century, to reveal the Roman foundations and buried remains.
In 1991-92 the facades of the Tower and the small Roman building were restored.
Numerous legends surround the Tower's history, from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. They attempt to explain in mythical and popular terms the Tower's origins and its construction, regardless of any historical or archaeological understanding. There are three main families of legends: the legend of Breogán in the Celtic-Irish tradition, the Greco-Roman legend of Hercules, the demigod of mythical strength who gave the Tower its contemporary name, and the tale of Trecenzonio halfway between the former two legends. There is evidence of these mythical tales in Galicia starting from the 14th century, but they probably predate that time.
Given that the lighthouse continues in use, ICOMOS regrets the absence of any description of the optical systems, which are an integral part of the lighthouse and its history, and the changes that they have undergone, notably in modern and contemporary times, in relation to Atlantic shipping.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

They varied vastly in historical and artistic content, treatment involved, size and duration. Each one presented different problems and considerations. My mind was constantly working, getting to grips with each project, often working on a few simultaneously. Each one varied a lot in complexity, employing different levels of conservation, restoration or aesthetic awareness.

Some St. Mary's County residents were still cleaning up Monday morning after a weak tornado blew through Thursday afternoon. There were no injuries reported, said Bob Kelly, director of the St. Mary's County Department of Emergency Services and Technology. It was the second confirmed tornado to hit the county within a week.
Areas of St. John's Road and Brown Road in Hollywood, the neighborhoods of Kingston Creek and Wildewood in California and the Town Creek and Esperanza Farms neighborhoods in Lexington Park saw damage Thursday, he said.
The National Weather Service said a tornado touched down Thursday in St. Mary's, but was still working Tuesday to pinpoint exactly where. It was the second tornado to strike the county last week.
Crews from the St. Mary's County Department of Public Works and Transportation were still out Monday morning removing roadside debris in Town Creek.
Residents there spent much of the weekend cutting up large, hardwood trees that were blown over or split in two. Jon Duffy, superintendent of Scott Enterprises, a Calvert County business, prepared Monday to work on a damaged home at Town Creek Drive and Rolling Road. Trees in the backyard came down onto an attached carport. No one was hurt, Duffy said.
"They all just fell on the house, all five of them," he said. "These are good, strong trees."
He expects it will take a week to make the repairs and the homeowners' insurance company has been easy to work with.
The path of wind damage went down Rolling Road and East Sunrise Drive near the Patuxent River. When Duffy first came out to help in the debris removal, he said there were "20 neighbors attacking the trees, helping each other out."
At the height of the severe storm, more than 12,000 customers lost power, said Tom Dennison, public affairs manager for the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative. Service was restored by noon Friday, he said.
St. Mary's County government opened the St. Andrew's Landfill to accept yard waste for free on Friday, Saturday and Monday.
The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for central St. Mary's after 3 p.m. Thursday. Text messages and audible alerts from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to smart phones through the Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, from FEMA. St. Mary's County's CodeRed system was activated and sirens near fire departments blasted the warnings to take cover, Kelly said.
"We're much, much better with the notifications but folks need to heed it," he said. "Go to your basement, go to the center of your house and let the storm pass."
A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for a funnel cloud to touch down, whereas a tornado warning means a funnel cloud has been spotted or rotation is evident within a storm cell.
The emergency operations center in Leonardtown saw a high gust of 41 mph when the thunderstorm struck.
A weak tornado hit Colton's Point on June 10, and was likely a waterspout in the Potomac River that came ashore, according to the National Weather Service.
Kelly noted that 17 days into the Atlantic hurricane season which began June 1, there have been two weak tornadoes in St. Mary's County and one tropical storm system that brought more than 5 inches of rain to southern St. Mary's on June 7 as it moved up the East Coast.

All this largely ignores what the purpose of a college degree is. To many students, a degree now presents itself as merely a barrier toward a job. That many American institutions have neglected to correct this misconception may be to everyone's disadvantage.
I want to believe that everyone can and should go to college, but my thinking is currently being influenced by Charles Murray, who in his book Real Education makes a compelling case that the opposite is true. Perhaps some individuals will never be fluent in calculus, or be able to write a clear essay. Perhaps institutions that make it seem as though these things are attainable to everyone are setting students up for disappointments when instead they could be playing to their strengths.
On a related note is the false perception that education is transactional. Teaching and learning are not so simple. If a student pays money to take a reading class, and at the end of the class still cannot read, it is usually not due to the failure of the college or teacher. A college that promises an easy path to academic success for all students is lying, or at least being unrealistic.
Finally, there is the point that instructors make a difference. This is an inconvenient truth for administrators. You cannot easily duplicate a good instructor (see What the Best College Teachers Do by Ken Bain for a close examination of this topic). Students can succeed in spite of poor teachers, but the best teachers understand that what they do can make a serious difference in a student's motivation, self-worth, confidence, capacity, etc. (According to the fascinating article "The Rubber Room" by Steven Brill in the New Yorker, "most serious studies on education reform have concluded that the critical variable when it comes to kids succeeding in school isn't money spent on buildings or books but, rather, the quality of their teachers.") This is why in education, the cheapest option might not be the best, despite whatever magic the internet brings.
The question then becomes this: What are institutions of higher education providing? If they are providing a degree, expectations can be fairly low, and degree acquisition rates can be high. If the goal, however, is to provide meaningful, useful, interesting, enlightening experiences that create well-informed, mature, wise adults who are equipped to handle a sophisticated world, then the online degree-farm model fails. A degree is supposed to be an indicator of an education, not the purpose of it.

Date and Time:
November 14, 1995 - 6:30PM to 8:00PM
Event Location:
Poets House, Spring Street
The popularity of Delmore Schwartz (1913-1966) can be attributed to several things, but Schwartz's caretaking of his own genius and manuscripts is not one of them. Literary executor Robert Phillips will discuss how Schwartz's abandoned manuscripts were discovered serendipitously and brought to posthumous publication.

Gallery: Palindromo Meszaros' Haunting Photographs Capture the Aftermat...
"The Line" exposes the irreparable damage the toxic sludge left on the small town. A thick line of red swallows up trees, dyes the town's dirt and grass, and brands the bottom half of homes and buildings for as far as the eye can see. Mesarzaro creates these images by only lining up the tip of the red stains with the horizon line in each photograph making the result is so precise and vibrant, it looks as if someone had purposely painted the town red. Though the images are striking, they are a constant reminder of the mark toxic waste has left on the town of Ajka and the continued need and effort to rebuild from the red rubble.
Known for his documentary style of photography, Meszaros has created carefully orchestrated images of other Eastern European ecosystems and atmospheres, focusing on social and anthropological issues. His background in architecture is also key to his unique style, building mesmerizing images that tell a captivating, oftentimes overlooked story. He was so moved by the town of Ajka, he produced a second series of photographs, "The Line II," exploring the lifestyle and landscape of the remaining industrial community.

I would like to be able to have thumbnail images of my photographs with information next to them (Location, Photo ID #, Date Photo Taken, etc.) that I can sort according to the column headers (like in Excel). I tried creating a Pivot Table in Excel, but it didn't work (may not have done it correctly). Is there any software available that is already set up to do this?

Reports: Otsuka can block Apotex's generic version of Abilify
Supreme Court rejects generic drug maker's arguments in upholding lower court ruling
NEW YORK — Drug maker Otsuka Pharmaceuticals can keep generic versions of its schizophrenia drug off the market, according to published reports.
Bloomberg reported that the Supreme Court upheld a ruling that allowed Otsuka to block Canadian generic drug maker Apotex from marketing a version of the antipsychotic Abilify (aripiprazole), which Otsuka co-markets with Bristol-Myers Squibb.
Apotex attempted to argue that because any person with the right skills could create a version of Abilify's active ingredient sufficiently identical to the original, and that the ingredient belonged to a class of drugs that had existed since the early 1980s. But the high court upheld a ruling in a lower court rejecting those claims.

Southern Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships, hosted by ETSU, set to begin
Thursday, February 20, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 20, 2003) - The Southern Conference Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships will take place this weekend, Friday, Feb. 21 and Saturday, Feb. 22 in the Memorial Center on the campus of East Tennessee State University. The SoCon will crown its 16th women's and 67th men's team champions. Appalachian State did a complete sweep of the indoor team titles last year. Both teams edged out Western Carolina by 28 points to take home the 2002 crown. Six student-athletes return from the 2002 meet to defend their titles on the men's side. ASU junior Jason Green won the 55-meter dash last year but will have to fight off some tough competition as WCU Tee Alford and fellow Mountaineer Ernest Wiggins are all tied with Green for the top spot in the conference rankings. Western Carolina senior Caleb Bailey returns to defend his title in the 800-meter and also looks for his third consecutive crown in the mile. Bailey is currently the conference leader in the 800-meter but will have to contest ETSU's Brad Yewer (Newbury, England) for the mile title. Also returning in the track events is ETSU sophomore James Grufferty (Glanmire, Ireland), who won the 5,000-meter in 2002 and is currently second in the conference rankings behind WCU's Ben Watkins. Five Appalachian State women return to defend their titles. Sophomore Jennifer Claud won the 55-meter in 2002 and leads the conference rankings in the event, but Buccaneer sophomore Chantelle Vernon (Markham, Ontario) ranks second in the conference rankings. Vernon is coming off a victory in the 55 meters at the Niswonger Foundation Track and Field Invitational that was held at ETSU Jan. 31 - Feb. 1. Junior Katie Sujkowski, the conference leader in the mile, returns to defend her title in the event from 2002 while juniors Ronda and Tondra White go after their second title in the Long Jump and Triple Jump respectively. Senior LaShana Poole returns as the defending champion in two events. Poole won the Shot Put in 2002 and is going for her third straight title in the Weight Throw. The action for the 2002 Southern Conference Men's and Women's Indoor Track & Field Championships kicks off at 2:30 pm on Friday, Feb. 21 and will culminate with the presentation of awards at 4:00 pm on Saturday, Feb. 22 in Johnson City, TN. Complete results will be available on www.etsubucs.com and on the Southern Conference track and field page at www.SoConSports.com.

While the words "raw materials," "tools," and "excavation" don't usually come to mind when we think of fashion, Vanessa G certainly piqued our interest. The inspiration of her spring '13 collection depicts the relationship between mining and nature — and while we might not have the greenest of thumbs, we never pass up the chance to get our hands dirty with an artfully juxtaposed collection.
That said, we don't mind at all that Vanessa G has done all the work for us. Her newest looks take us on a journey of vivid imagery, which is inspired by the transformation of raw and unpolished materials into precious metals and stones. The U.K.-based designer masterfully balances powerful, bold prints with a kaleidoscope of bright colors inspired by flora, fauna, and exotic insects. Needless to say, this edgy and uniquely contrasting collection isn't for the matchy-matchy at heart.
Curious to see what happens when sartorial meets soil? Click through the lookbook — and hey, you just might be inspired to go camping, or, well glamping.

Society's Child
Girl, 9, attacked, robbed by woman after just stepping off school bus
CBS News Philadelphia
Fri, 07 Dec 2012 00:00 UTC
Philadelphia - She's just 9-years-old and the victim of an attack all over a cell phone.
It's a case that left even the seasoned investigators just shaking their heads.
The victim, Neidy Rojas, told Eyewitness News, "It felt bad and sad. I was scared."
Rojas says she was sprayed with a burning substance on her lips then pushed to the ground, scraping her knees.
Police confirm the motive was robbery as the suspect appeared to be after the 3rd grader's cell phone, a black Samsung Galaxy S2.
Rojas recalled, "She asked if she could use my phone and I said it doesn't work."
It was true. Rojas says the phone is missing the "Home" button and she could only use it to play some games.
Undeterred, however, Rojas says the woman snatched the phone out of her hands.
"And then she pushed me and I was yelling for help and then my mom came," Rojas said.
It happened in broad daylight shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday at the corner of 53rd and Warrington Streets in Southwest Philadelphia. Rojas had just gotten off her school bus. Neidy's mother, Janet Rojas, arrived just in time to hear her daughter's screams for help. Janet says she ran after the suspect, but the woman got away.
Police say they know cell phones these days unfortunately get stolen regularly, but for someone to target a 9-year-old is a new low.
Lt. John Walker said, "It's just unacceptable. It's behavior that really shouldn't be tolerated by anybody in this community. She's traumatized by this, I mean who at 9-years-old wants to fall victim of a crime like this on the city streets?"
Rojas added, "She was wearing light brown boots, black jacket and she had a scarf on her head and the color was green."
Police say the suspect is described as a black female in her 20s with a slender build who's about 5'5"-5'8" tall.
Anyone with information is asked to call the police.
