A diverse panel of men and women who served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Persian Gulf will recall their lives at war, their challenges and joys upon returning home or readjusting to civilian life, and their thoughts about their combat experiences.

Invented Lives: African American Women's Narrative
A Discussion with Sonia Sanchez, Nzadi Keita & Dr. Virgilette Nzingha Gaffin
"Tradition. Now there's a word that nags the feminist critic. A word that has so often been used to exclude or misrepresent women. It is always something of a shock to see black women, sharing equally (and sometimes more than equally) in the labor and strife of black people, expunged from the text when that history becomes shaped into what we call tradition. What we have to recognize is that the creation of the fiction of tradition is a matter of power, not justice, and that the power has always been in the hands of men –mostly white but some black. Women are the disinherited." Invented Lives by Mary Helen Washington
Join us for this conversation exploring the written lives of African American women featuring poet, professor and first Poet Laureate of Philadelphia Sonia Sanchez; writer, editor, scholar and teacher M. Nzadi Zimele Keita; and Cheyney University Associate Professor of English and past Chair of the Dept. of Communications and Modern Languages Dr. V. Nzinga Gaffin.

Beyond Sustenance: Cooking It Real, A Farm to Table Brunch Experience
Whether coming from an urban farm, a backyard garden plot, or pots on the front porch, fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs have long sustained people who may not have otherwise had access to fresh and healthy foods. Now, as our culture embraces DIY, local, "green" and sustainable movements, these urban farms and gardens have seen a resurgence in popularity. Join us at this farm-to-table cooking class and meal lead by Chef Delilah Winder as we explore how the products of these green spaces become sustenance for families and communities, and how the process of growing can provide sustenance for the soul.
The class will begin by meeting current farmers at Walnut Hill Community Farm (4610 Market Street). Participants will then head to the Dorrance H.

Owning the Land that Once Owned Us: The Story of Jubilee Farm
In 1994, Dr. Walter P. Lomax, Jr. purchased a plot of land in King William County, Virginia adjacent to land that was bequeathed to him by his parents. This was no ordinary real estate purchase: the land Dr. Lomax acquired was the very same land that, centuries ago, his enslaved great-great-grandmother had lived upon when it was known as Aspen Grove plantation. Upon purchasing the property, the Lomax family restored it and renamed it Jubilee Farm.
Inspired by our recent exhibits on African American farmers and our current exhibit, Cash Crop, which explores the economic exploitations of people past and present, we invite you to join us for a conversation on the meaning of Black land ownership told through the lens of the Lomax family experience. How did this family come to own the land that once owned them? As they celebrate 20 years of continuous ownership of this sacred family land, what are the plans to ensure sustainability? How is this African American family working to create new sources of revenue to protect the legacy of this land for future generations?
Experience this interesting story through a pictorial history and panel discussion. Participating in this panel discussion are several members of the Lomax family including genealogist Dr. Alvin C. Lomax and Dr. Allison Dorsey, Professor of History at Swarthmore College and author of To Build Our Lives Together: Community Formation in Black Atlanta, 1875-1906, and "The great cry of our people is for land! Black Settlement and Community Development on Ossabaw Island, Georgia, 1865-1900".
Admission: Free with RSVP. Space is limited.
This program is supported by The Lomax Family Foundation.

Creating the Criminal: A Film Screening & Discussion of Slavery By Another Name
Join us for a lively conversation connecting past and present as we view clips from and discuss the PBS documentary Slavery By Another Name, an official selection of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Working with Emahunn Campbell, PhD Student in the W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies at University of Massachusetts Amherst, we will explore conceptions of African American criminality in the late 19th Century and the present day, using Slavery By Another Name as our "text". Our guiding question will be: What can the past tell us about the idea of "Dangerous Blackness" in the popular mind today?
Based upon the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Douglass A. Blackmon, Slavery By Another Name challenges the commonly-held assumption that slavery ended in the United States with the passage of the 13th Amendment. It shines a light on the involuntary servitude that sprung up immediately after the Civil War and was closely tied to the criminal justice and prison systems.
This is Part 2 of a 4-part film series, Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle, presented by AAMP, the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia History Museum at the Atwater Kent, the National Constitution Center and The Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia.
Created Equal: America's Civil Rights Struggle is made possible through a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, as part of its Bridging Cultures initiative, in partnership with the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History.

Finding the Founders: Civil Rights - the 1960s and Today
Learn about how the history of the civil rights movement is part of a still-incomplete history on the African American freedom struggle in the industrialized urban north. In much of the current history on the north, Philadelphia has not been prominently represented. With emphasis on the strategic use of Independence Hall and electoral activism, Dr. Clemmie Harris will trace trends in the organizing tradition of Philadelphia's civil rights and black power movements from 1963-1984. He will also establish why Philadelphia is significant to the national story and what lessons it may offer for the present day.
This program is presented in partnership with the National Constitution Center as part of their Finding the Founders: Scholarly Talks and Walking Tours program. Visit the National Constitution Center and neighboring sites throughout Historic Philadelphia to join fascinating conversations with scholars, who will share their insights on equality and freedom through the lens of the American Revolution. The program will provide an expanded understanding of Independence Day—one that sees the holiday as both a celebration and an acknowledgment of America's ongoing struggle to achieve the ideals expressed in the nation's founding documents. For more information, visit: http://constitutioncenter.org/calendar/finding-the-founders1.
Arrive at 1:30PM to see students from Constitution High School - finalists at the national level of the National History Day competition - perform their award-winning piece on freedom fighter Ida B. Wells!

The Censored 11: Film Shorts Screening and Discussion
Does artistic expression trump offensive content? How does censorship impact our understanding of history?
In 1968, United Artists chose to withhold the distribution rights for 11 Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons due to the offensiveness of racial stereotypes presented in them. Since that time, successive rights holders have upheld this ban on broadcast and theatrical screenings, and the short cartoons have only been shown once, in 2010, in a screening held by Warner Bros. However, copies do exist on VHS and DVD and we invite you to a special screening of all 11 of these controversial works!
Join Michael Dennis and Dr. Beverly Richards for this viewing, followed by a lively conversation on art, culture, race and history! Michael Dennis is a filmmaker and the founder of Reelblack, a full-service film and video production company dedicated to creating and promoting "good movies 'bout Black Folks." Dr. Beverly Richards is the owner and curator of the A Cinema Apart Collection which includes African American Film memorabilia from the 1920s through 1950s.

PECO Presents… The New Black: Screening and Panel Discussion
Yoruba Richen's award-winning documentary explores the story of how the African-American community is grappling with gay rights in light of the recent gay marriage movement and the fight over civil rights. Focusing on Maryland in the lead-up to a public referendum on the topic in 2012, the film documents activists, families and clergy on both sides of the campaign to legalize gay marriage and explores questions of acceptance and condemnation in black families and churches.
In the wake of the Supreme Court's historic decision to legalize gay marriage across the nation, join us as we screen this riveting documentary and engage a panel of diverse individuals in post-screening discussion. How are family and community conceptualized for members of Philadelphia's LGBTQ communities of color? How meaningful is the Supreme Court's ruling, at the intersections of race, class and sexual identity? And what is, can, and should be the role of black communities in pushing for civil and equal rights for all people?
This program is made possible by the generous sponsorship of PECO and is presented in partnership with The COLOURS Organization, Inc in support of the exhibition Legendary: Inside the House Ballroom Scene.

Propositions 24 and 25 of Book I of Euclid's Elements state the fairly obvious fact that if an angle in a triangle is increased (without changing the lengths of its arms), then the length of the opposite side increases. In less technical terms, the wider you open your mouth, the farther apart your lips are. In this paper, we see that this has a very satisfactory analogue for orthocentric (but not for general) tetrahedra.

PD Ports, the operator of North East port, Teesport, has been named the Most Outstanding Service Carrier of the Year in 2009 by UK retailer, ASDA, at its annual National Carrier of the Year awards ceremony.
The award was won by PD Ports for its Logical Link service - a coastal feeder container shipping service offering a next day connection between Felixstowe in the south of England and Teesport in the north, which runs three days per week.
ASDA has used the Logical Link service since it launched in January 2009, to ship goods destined for its northern markets into Teesport, where the retailer operates a 360,000ft distribution center.
In its first year of operation, the Logical Link service reached its goal of reducing operational costs for customers and minimizing the adverse impact that road transport has on the environment.
ASDA, which opened the first portcentric import center at Teesport in 2006, has now considerably reduced the volume of company trucks on the already over-burdened UK road network. This has led to a saving of over 1,265,459 road miles. That's enough to make almost three trips to the moon and back.

Group Gives $250K to Maine Gay Marriage Opponents
PORTLAND, Maine -
The National Organization for Marriage is pumping money into the campaign that opposes Maine's November ballot question seeking to legalize same-sex marriage.
The Washington, D.C.-based group transferred $250,000 Thursday to the Protect Marriage Maine political action committee, which is spearheading the campaign against the ballot initiative, said campaign manager Frank Schubert.
Schubert said the Maine election has national implications because the state could become the first where same-sex marriage is legalized in a popular vote.
"It is a critical race for the survival of the institution of marriage in this country," Schubert said. "It's a race that the entire nation is looking at and will have an impact far beyond the borders of Maine."
The National Organization for Marriage is a leading national anti-gay marriage group that has opposed same-sex initiatives in multiple states. Schubert, whose efforts are funded by the organization, also is managing other campaigns in opposition to same-sex marriage in three other states: Maryland, Washington and Minnesota.

It truly was the best rice I've ever made. Thank you.
Amazing! My new favorite rice. I used Pace Hot Picante for the picante sauce and it came out just the right amount of spicy and delicious. Thanks, V!
Excellent rice. I only made half a recipe but is excellent. Served with V's Chile Verde, Refried Beans, and Ultimate Flan.
I made this to go with Chef #351811 's V's Chile Verde. I didn't have tomato-flavored bouillon so I used regular chicken bouillon and added a tablespoon of ketchup. Didn't have Spanish paprika so I used half smoked and half regular, and for the salsa I used and entire 7 oz can of Herdez Salsa Ranchera which I took for a spin in my small 2 cup food processor to puree it into a finer consistency. What a fantastic dish this was and while I had never thought about server Chile Verde over Spanish Rice, it will be something we do a lot now!
Very very easy. I couldn't find tomato buillon cubes only tomato-chicken so used those instead of the broth. I did puree all the veggies so my picky son would eat it. I also left out the oil and butter and just sauteed in a little water but next time (and there will be a next time) I'm going all out and using some bacon fat!!! Thanks for posting this simple and tasty recipe!
This rice is scrumptious. It's perfect with the chile verde which is equally as delicious.
This rice is so delicious, I could not stop eatin git. I was honoured to have the Chef herself make this at a 4th of July get together and we all loved it. It was served with Salsa Verde and man....what a combo it was! Terrific rice V, I'll be making this again! :)
Wonderful! Didn't change a thing!
Delicious, easy rice. I made this to accompany your SUPER satisying Chile Verde ( complete hit as always in my house) and they loved this too. Thank you for another winner! This was the perfect side for the verde and let me tell you, anything that easy goes in my books! Nice flavor, and the family mentioned the flavor - that is always nice to hear! **Made for Feb 2009 Bevy Tag**
I too have been trying to get spannish rice right. I made this tonight and we loved it!!! this is how I will make it everytime! it was sooo easy and soooo good! Thank you for sharing.:)

President Obama on Friday awarded $2.3 billion in tax credits to U.S. companies for projects that spur investment in clean-energy manufacturing and create more jobs in that industry.
"I want the U.S. to be what it has always been, a leader in clean energy," the president said.
The credits will be divided among 183 companies in 43 states and is part of the administration's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
Among the winning projects were those related to hybrid vehicles, improving electric grids and renewable-energy equipment.
At least 16 projects involve wind turbines, including one by Mitsubishi Power Systems Americas Inc. in Fort Smith, Ark., that got $5.1 million in credits.
Mr. Obama said the U.S. led the world in clean-energy technology only to fall behind to China, German and Japan in such fields as solar power and making batteries for electric cars.
"I'm confident we can regain the lead," he said.
The administration said the program, known as Section 48C, will generate 17,000 more jobs on the same day the Labor Department reported the U.S. economy lost 85,000 jobs last month.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said earlier in the day the government report was "disappointing" and acknowledged the jobs created by the tax-credit program was only a step toward replacing the roughly 7 million lost since the recession started in December 2007.
"We are in a tough economic climate," he said. "We knew this was going to be a long road."
Said Mr. Obama: "This is a reminder that the road to recovery is never straight. And for most Americans, including me, that means jobs."
Administration officials said more than 500 companies applied for the credits and that the program should significantly increase U.S. exports in clean-energy products such as energy-efficient windows and lighting.
The officials also said the overwhelming response by companies shows U.S. companies are moving more toward clean-energy manufacturing so they have asked Congress for an additional $5 billion to expand the program.
The projects had to be completed by February 17, 2009, and running by February 2013. The administration said some of the projects are finished and operating.
The criteria for the winning projects included whether they were commercial viability, could create domestic jobs and could reduce air pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions.

We occasionally have two tags on the same commit. When we use git describe for that commit, git describe always returns the first tag. My reading of the git-describe man page seems to indicate that the second tag should be returned (which makes more sense).
SEARCH STRATEGY For each committish supplied, git describe will first look for a tag which tags exactly that commit. Annotated tags will always be preferred over lightweight tags, and tags with newer dates will always be preferred over tags with older dates. If an exact match is found, its name will be output and searching will stop.
Is there a way to have
git describe return the second tag?
