What Terrorists Want - and How to Stop Them Getting It

The Concept of White Privilege Does More Harm Than Good
'White privilege' and its cousins have achieved enormous prominence on the American left, from which it now seems to be spreading around the Western world. As a slogan it has an undeniable rhetorical power. But from a moral perspective it is flawed: at best mistaken about the core problem of racial injustice and at worst racist in its own right. At the political level it is divisive - arguably deliberately so - and thus incapable of supporting the consensus needed to build a just society.

Saving The Planet: Why Cap-and-Trade Is Not Fit For Purpose
Guest post by Tadhg Ó Laoghaire
"It's not easy being green"
-Kermit the Frog
A consensus is finally shaping up among international policy-makers. Market-based emissions trading has become the modern world's primary pollution control mechanism, forming a key part of various national and international bodies' commitment to climate change mitigation. The largest such market is the European Union's Emissions Trading System, which accounts for over 90% of the world's carbon market volume, but market trading systems are also a key part of the Kyoto protocol under the Clean Development Mechanism, and looks set to be adopted in China in the near future. Unfortunately cap-and-trade emissions systems are structurally incapable of delivering us from climate change.

The Brain Gain: Why Smart People Should be Encouraged to Leave Developing Countries
Skilled workers emigrating from developing countries are good for us, but bad for the developing countries At least, according to the received wisdom. When considering the facts, a different picture emerges. One with many economic upsides for the migrant's home country. Meet the brain gain.

This Christmas, give the gift of a blameless life to someone you love
Do you want to be a good person but find yourself always falling short?
It may not be your fault. These days it is difficult to feel like a good person. In fact the harder you try, the more you may feel like a failure.
It may not be your fault. These days it is difficult to feel like a good person. In fact the harder you try, the more you may feel like a failure.
The calls on our moral attention are multiplying at an extraordinary rate. We are living through a perfect storm of social justice movements, activist NGOs, an unusually plausible pope, and a flood of academic moral philosophers trying to write for the public. Globalisation means that we have to take account of the furthest implications of our actions. The internet and social media spread the news of our ever increasing obligations and strike down those who sin without mercy.

Is Home Schooling Morally Defensible?
Let me start with the obvious. Home schooling is an objectively deficient form of education. It inhibits the development of life skills, such as for negotiating social institutions and employability. It undermines political community, such as by preventing children from learning society's common sense and dividing them from citizens of different homes. It provides a lower general quality of education since its 'teachers' know nothing more of what or how to teach than their textbooks tell them.

Rich countries are not to blame for global warming but they should still pay more to stop it
An unfortunate side effect of the moralisation of global warming is the blame game. A large number of people seem to think it makes sense to address the enormous problem of global warming by putting various rich countries on trial for their crimes against the atmosphere over the past 200 years. This project is a foolish one, a backwards looking side-show that - perhaps conveniently - distracts political attention from the pragmatic policy debates we need for actually addressing the problem (previously). But even if we were to take it seriously it wouldn't give the answers one might expect.

What does it take to be a good economist?
The study of economics does not seem to require any specialized gifts of an unusually high order. Is it not, intellectually regarded, a very easy subject compared with the higher branches of philosophy or pure science? An easy subject at which few excel! The paradox finds its explanation, perhaps, in that the master-economist must possess a rare combination of gifts. He must be mathematician, historian, statesman, philosopher—in some degree. He must understand symbols and speak in words. He must contemplate the particular in terms of the general and touch abstract and concrete in the same flight of thought. He must study the present in the light of the past for the purposes of the future. No part of man's nature of his institutions must lie entirely outside his regard. He must be purposeful and disinterested in a simultaneous mood; as aloof and incorruptible as an artist, yet sometimes as near to earth as a politician. (J. M. Keynes. 1924. "Alfred Marshall, 1842-1924" in The Economic Journal)

The Human Rights Case for Migration
Migration is a meta-human right: a right that other human rights depend upon. Since some governments are malevolent or simply incapable of protecting human rights, a commitment to human rights requires a commitment to the freedom of individuals to move to countries where they can live a decent life. Refugees - homeless, futureless - present an international moral emergency that trumps the usual considerations of national statecraft such as fiscal implications and political risk for governing parties.

The Joy of Reading
These essays tend to circle around the same handful of arguments. An especially prominent theme, most frequently associated with Martha Nussbaum's defence of the humanities, is that literature is good for us because it promotes empathy, and the practice of empathy is the heart of liberal ethics and the functioning of civilised society.
Unfortunately, defending literature in this way multiplies rather than reduces philistinism. By mistaking means and ends it excludes the very heart of the matter from consideration. The joy of literature is transmuted into duty. This is in line with how professional academics understand literature - as their daily work, albeit work that they love. But if this is how the people who claim to love literature talk about it, no wonder reading is in decline.

America's Guns: A Problem of Political Philosophy not Public Health
|It's the political philosophy, stupid.
The proponents of gun control in America are losing the argument and will continue to do so. Their complacency that they are on the right side of history has blinded them to the fact that they have chosen to fight on the wrong ground. They keep harping on about guns killing people. As if guns were like cigarettes, and as if the numbers were big enough to matter. They need to take the political philosophy of the gun rights movement seriously and show that a society without guns is a better society not that it is a safer one.

Privatise the Monarchy!
Are you a subject or a citizen? You're not alone if you're not sure. Many supposedly liberal democracies - from Britain to the Netherlands to Canada - still live under a constitutional bricolage of medieval and republican institutions.
We deserve better. In our private lives - in the private space for decision-making that citizens enjoy - those who like the monarchy can continue to express that admiration, just as those who wish to worship within a particular religious denomination can do so. But there is no justification for continuing the undignified farce of constitutional monarchy.

Why Not Polygamy Too?
The argument that made gay marriage law in America was about marriage equality: not special rights for gay people but the right to the same treatment. There may be something to regret in the smallness of this ambition (previously), but the argument is sound.
Denying people the right to marry requires a public justification -one that would be in principle convincing to all concerned - and this demands more than the expression of the private moral beliefs of a politically dominant group like fundamentalist Christians. What this comes down to is the moral and political significance of the challenge Why not? for public reasoning in a liberal society, for identifying and overturning unjust laws and policies.
In the wake of the US Supreme Court's decision it is therefore rather disconcerting to find various gay marriage advocates, most notably, Jonathan Rauch, arguing so badly - basically sneering - against polygamy. One has the impression of a drawbridge being raised up. As far as I can tell, polygamy presents as good a case as gay marriage for legal recognition and regulation by the state, as Justice Roberts' Supreme Court dissent pointed out.

Advertisers Should Pay You
Advertising is a natural resource extraction industry, like a fishery. Its business is the harvest and sale of human attention. We are the fish and we are not consulted.
Two problems result from this. The solution to both requires legal recognition of the property rights of human beings over our attention.
First, advertising imposes costs on individuals without permission or compensation. It extracts our precious attention and emits toxic byproducts, such as the sale of our personal information to dodgy third parties.
Second, you may have noticed that the world's fisheries are not in great shape. They are a standard example for explaining the theoretical concept of a tragedy of the commons, where rational maximising behaviour by individual harvesters leads to the unsustainable overexploitation of a resource. Expensively trained human attention is the fuel of 21st century capitalism. We are allowing a single industry to slash and burn vast amounts of this productive resource in search of a quick buck.

Marriage Equality Is Not Enough
The campaign to legalise gay marriage in Western countries has been wildly successful. Political and popular opposition has crumbled in the face of the reasonable demand for a public justification for banning it. The feeble excuses for arguments trotted out by its opponents - including religious institutions, talking heads, politicians and lawyers in court - are increasingly perceived as mere rationalisations for bigotry. This is democracy as public reasoning at its best (and has been cited as such by political philosophers - e.g.).
As a liberal I find much to celebrate about this victory. Yet, at the risk of offending the righteousness of the left, I also see something to regret. The line of reasoning behind the marriage equality movement is disappointing in the smallness of its ambition. It holds up a mirror to the wider renunciation of radical idealism by what passes for the left these days.
Proponents of marriage equality have overwhelmingly argued that it is unfair to treat homosexual relationships differently from heterosexual ones because they are in every significant respect the same. As a rhetorical strategy to advance marriage rights and the acceptance of homosexuals in general this argument may be justified by its political success. But as public reasoning such a justification is disappointing. It does not really advance the idea of equality of deep freedom: it is a demand to have one's conformity accepted rather than to have one's difference respected.

Eyes Like Leaves is well-paced, and the action scenes flash with energy. Charles de Lint shows signs of the bardic gift in his ability to make scenes come alive, especially the chase scene with the direwolves pursuing the tinker caravan.
While the characters are interesting and detailed, and individual scenes are beautifully written, the plot is oddly flat and lacks originality. This feels like a too-literal retelling of classical Irish mythology, without enough innovation to be fresh or exciting. It seems a little too scripted, with each character arriving just when needed, and advancing the plot in exactly the right direction. While terrible things do happen, there is not a great sense of tension -- just a sense of inevitability.
This book proves to me that talent is not the sole ingredient of success. Eyes Like Leaves is well-written, but I never actually cared about the story. I never felt emotionally connected to the characters. While there is nothing overtly bad about the story, there is little here to merit recommending it above all the other quest fantasy novels that have been published.
Eyes Like Leaves is actually one of the first books Charles de Lint wrote, but it has never before been published. His editor told him that having published two secondary world fantasy novels, and one urban novel, that the next novel he published would pigeonhole him. He put this manuscript on the shelf and published Yarrow instead, putting his feet firmly on the urban fantasy path, a decision that I, and legions of his other fans, are grateful for. He recently reworked Eyes Like Leaves and released it for publication. This is obviously not de Lint at his peak, but there are the glimmers of greatness here that he has realized in his later works. I would recommend this book for fans of Irish mythology and de Lint completionists.

Rating ****1/2
Tags fiction, fantasy, magick, wizards, evil
Charles de Lint is one of my favorite writers, and one of the creators of the contemporary urban fantasy. Eyes Like Leaves, though, is a novel he wrote before he started the urban fantasy stories, and fits into the high fantasy genre.
Magick is fading from the Green Isles. There has been a balance between Hafarl, the Lord of Summer, and the Winter Lord. Now the Winter Lord is determined to destroy Hafarl and hold the Isles under his reign forever. Tarn, a wizard trained by Puretongue, seeks to find all those touched with Hafarl's magick and bring them to the Summer Lord's aid. The Winter Lord is destroying all of Hafarl's kin he can find. Meanwhile the Viking-like Samarand are destroying villages along the coast. Young Carrie has lost her family to the raiders and has been taken in by a family of tinkers. When Tarn meets her he knows the magick is strong in her. Can Tarn, Carrie, and the few of Haferl's kin who are left save the Summer Lord and keep the Isles from being lost?
de Lint, a consistently excellent writer, shows his mastery again in this work that he put aside for various reasons and has now been published many years after it was written. Eyes Like Leaves is a deeply magickal and spiritual work that is also an excellent adventure.
Publication Subterranean (2010), Edition: Signed Hardcover, Hardcover, 350 pages
Publication date 2010
I first encountered Charles de Lint at a time in my life when I read almost exclusively a traditional type of fantasy. Steeped as I was in Valdemar, Narnia, and Pern, the grimy, magical streets of de Lint's contemporary Newford was a revelation. Now the wheel has turned and I'm reveling in contemporary stories galore but de Lint is back with a type of high fantasy I haven't encountered in a long, long time.
EYES LIKE LEAVES is definitely a breed of book with Tolkien in it's pedigree; a sweeping, multi-party affair that easily lends itself to imagining various dotted lines crossing a pen and ink map towards the inevitable confrontation with a dark villain. Unfortunately, it is just that wide angle view that kept me disengaged from the action until well into the last half of the book. The narrative jumps from character to character, each one painted with such a gorgeously detailed brush as to make it difficult to see the forest for the trees. Of course, de Lint is no amateur, and sticking with each lovingly drawn character proved to be well worth my time. The world building, it will come as no surprise, is fantastic. De Lint takes his wizards' Zen magic past the inscrutable down to the accessible, and I loved piecing together the details of how this world works.
As with Tolkien, EYES LIKE LEAVES requires a different pace of reading than your average urban fantasy novel. The elder wizards of the book could have been speaking directly from the pages to me as they council their impatient, dramatic young protégées to slow down, take a deep breath, and let what they already know rise to the surface. I had to slow down, enjoy the journey, enjoy each scene, and let it all wash over me. Depending on your mood and your style, this book could be anywhere from Five Bats to Three, so I recommend you read a few chapters and judge for yourself. But if you're on the fence, I'd encourage you to lean `yes' and immerse yourself in de Lint's world for awhile.

Dr. Gott: Achalasia is tough diagnosis to swallow
Dear Dr. Gott: I was recently diagnosed with achalasia. This all started a year ago when I had trouble swallowing food.

I also had a Botox injection in the lower sphincter of my stomach to relax it. Do you have any suggestions for some relief? I have now lost about 50 pounds and can't afford to lose much more. I'm a 74-year-old female. Please help.

Even the most casual glance at the Texas Open Meetings Act reveals the speciousness of a complaint filed against the Amarillo City Commission.
Letter: Paper demonstrates pre-election arrogance
Prior to the recent primary election, the Globe-News ran three stories that I and others believe were structured to damage Texas Republican House candidate Victor Leal's chances for success.
Editorial: Time to take needed break
It's over. The health care debate has produced a narrow, partisan victory for President Obama and the Democrats who control both houses of Congress.

WASHINGTON - Health care reform has now passed. The path it took really has been extraordinary.
Your Turn

Column - Kyle R. Haugh: Stay in game, GOP, if you court youth
Throughout the course of this health care debate, there has been a political rancor that my generation has never witnessed. I am 21 years old and have been following politics all my life. However, my generation does not remember the political drama of the 1990s with the battles of Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton, and to be honest they don't care.
Your Turn
Let your opinions be read right here
Letter: Thornberry wrong
The first words coming from the mouth of Rep. Mac Thornberry in regards to the passage of the health care reform bill was: Your taxes will be going up.
Letter: Scouts do their job in keeping park presentable
In response to Terry Wagoner (letter, March 20), noticing and thanking our boys for cleaning up McDonald Lake Park: Boys and adults from Boy Scout Troop 87 chartered by St. Thomas the Apostle Church pick up trash once a month at McDonald Lake.

John Hoffmire: Modern era requires modern international aid
Gregory Bull, Associated Press
In an effort to alleviate poverty, the United States government spends billions of dollars annually in foreign aid. Additionally, many private corporations, foundations and nonprofits are actively involved in providing assistance to alleviate poverty. Unfortunately, not all aid is used effectively.
Recent research indicates direct monetary aid to governments increases dependence, corruption and poor rule of law. Even well-meaning charitable aid can inhibit economic growth through poor strategic and tactical choices made by the donor. If so much aid goes to waste, should we continue to provide assistance at the levels that are being given? Would it be better to change the way aid is given and help find better long-term solutions for people in countries where many suffer?
What these questions ultimately create are more queries about how aid should be packaged. Although universal solutions may not exist, there is a growing consensus about the types of aid that are most effective. Providing skills and opportunities to individuals is near the top of this list.
Opportunities come largely from entrepreneurship and job creation. Meltwater School for Entrepreneurial Training (MEST) is a prime example of an institution that teaches young college graduates and then helps them incubate and create companies.
Started by Jorn Lyseggen, founder and CEO of the Meltwater Group, MEST has graduated more than 100 young African technology entrepreneurs from its Accra, Ghana, campus. Across a small bridge bypassing a drainage ditch next to the campus lies MEST's incubator, which has spawned a number of companies, some of which have now received venture capital from U.S. firms, created employment and/or have been acquired.
The best types of aid provide individuals with skills and opportunities rather than goods and services. Private corporations and nonprofits are particularly suited to this type of aid because they can identify and address specific needs efficiently. For instance, Elevita is a nonprofit that buys products from women-owned businesses in nations around the world and resells them over the Internet. The women who run Elevita donate the profits of their organization to build school dormitories to make it possible for girls in some of the same countries to go to school safely. This business model also supports long-term economic growth.
Some other types of aid are less effective in providing skills and opportunities. Charitable donations bring goods and services to the needy but generally fail to provide skill development, employment and/or entrepreneurial opportunities. Consequently, the benefits of these types of aid generally disappear as soon as donations cease. These contributions generally have little positive economic impact because the aid that's provided does not build sustainable systems that can function independently.
To be clear, there are times when donations of food, blankets, clothing and emergency supplies are absolutely necessary. No doubt, after earthquakes, floods, droughts and other natural and man-made disasters, donations of goods are made. But, for the most part, government and nonprofit aid should move away from giving these types of foreign assistance.
In the past 22 years, the global extreme poverty rate has been reduced by 50 percent. Even so, about 1 out of 5 people on the planet still live in poverty. Recent research and business examples have shown that there are more effective ways to combat poverty than traditional charitable donations.
Business has created most of the progress. In China alone, roughly 600 million people have come out of poverty since Chairman Mao died in the summer of 1976. Similarly, 200 million have made the transition out of poverty in India. In both countries, it has mostly been job creation through the private sector that has made the difference.
If these modern aid strategies and business-based means of economic assistance are more widely implemented, perhaps some of us will witness the end of poverty in our lifetimes.
John Hoffmire is director of the Impact Bond Fund at Saïd Business School at Oxford University and directs the School of Business and Poverty at the Wisconsin School of Business at UW-Madison. He runs Progress Through Business, a nonprofit group promoting economic development. Richard Payne, Hoffmire's colleague at Progress Through Business, did the research for this article.

Research Institution:
AbstractAspen Systems, Inc. proposes the program "Novel Thermosets For Room Temperature Cured Aerospace Composites." Aerospace composites must maintain integrity at 350F (177C). With current resin systems, this is only achievable through elevated cure cycling, translating to added costs throughout the manufacturing process and a reduced composite damage tolerance. To meet the challenge of high temperature performance with reduced processing costs and increased damage tolerance, Aspen proposes the development of a new class of epoxy resins amenable to room temperature curing. The proposed system initiates a close functional group packing density, allowing complete conversion at substantially below the polymers final glass transition temperature. The result is a high temperature, high strength polymer cured at room temperature with enhanced damage tolerance. Designed from the molecular level, this system represents the leading edge in epoxy functional monomer design research, and the maximum opportunity for significant cost reductions in aerospace quality composite fabrication. The Aspen Research and Development Team is comprised of world leading experts in computational molecular modelling, polymer, & material science, advanced composites, and aerospace engineering. Our external consultants included the Lockheed Fort Worth Company, Dr. Morton H. Litt of Case Western Reserve University and the Edison Polymer Innovation Corporation.

A lack of depth doesn't stop Chime from quietly turning its own genre on its head either. Zoë Mode's game shows what can happen when you give up destruction in favour of creation, and exchange tension for a kind of dreamy calm.
Don't let the charity aspect fool you - this is an excellent, if shallow, puzzle game in its own right.
When a game comes along that is this visually, audibly, and mentally pleasing, it's not something to ignore. I recommend checking Chime out. For five bucks, it's really not bad, you're supporting a good cause, and maybe we can get the sequel that would really make Chime ring.
X-ONE Magazine UKThe positive score is fully justified. [Issue#57, p.107]

A brilliantly-designed title that players can easily sit down and relax to. Whilst it lacks in terms of content, the title can be enjoyed in short bursts and the donation to charity makes the Xbox Live Arcade title a deserving purchase, especially at the 400 Microsoft Points price tag.

Ok, so Lumines probably wasn't all that well known outside of the PSP, but essentially you had 2x2 different coloured squares come down, much like tetris. You'd clear the board and score points when you build up 2x2 blocks of the same colour, when a line would slide across the screen and take them out.
In Chime, you don't need to worry about colour, but the pieces are all different configurations of 5 squares connected, much like tetris' 4 squares. You can move, rotate, and place them anywhere on the grid. The 'beatline' will move in time with the music, setting off events when it hits the shapes. If you have a solid blocks of 3x3 or more, they will disappear after a short while, give better music samples, and stamped down a completed section on the grid. The aim is to get 100% coverage on these grids before the time runs out.
This game is great if you want to fill in time, or if you're into mixing a few tunes with samples based on how well you play. Probably a small cult following for that. In the end, since there are only 6 or 7 level/songs to play, it only becomes a grind to try to get 100% coverage on each level, not really much more than that.… Full Review »

But I have to say it's very disappointing. Not only are the controls a bit clunky and unresponsive, but the game's mechanics, scoring system and concept are not immediately obvious. It's got unnecessarily features and flashy graphics; not to mention the truly uninspiring "level" (if you can call it that) design. The soundtrack is also horrible; basically gave a new born baby a Xylophone to play with and recorded it. Any arcade game which requires a tutorial to explain what everything is on screen, what the aim of the game is etc. is pretty bad. But this is just embarrassing, because it's a game which should be extremely fast-paced, straightforward and addicting to play over and over yet it fails miserably in all departments other than ambition. I can credit it for trying to make a mindlessly boring game like Tetris into something more appealing...which it also fails at.… Full Review »

Next month, we'll start looking at the game logic itself, but for now, Vegas beckons for a big tradeshow and, well, I can write it off as research for Linux Journal, can't I?

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
On Demand
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Greetings. I'm new to WordPress but not web design and I've been having trouble finding a clear way to display two columns of content on the main page with one column per author.
An example of what I'm trying to do is here (under the comic).
Essentially, I and another person will be biking around the country and want to keep a blog. The idea is that each 'side' of the site will be styled differently, but complimentary. However, at this point getting more than one column is my first hurdle.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Rapid expansion from conventional base, ranging from the financial, insurance, and IT sectors to the construction, transportation, and education fields has paved the path to glory for Chinese safety and security market. However, the development of regional economies assisted by building infrastructure, such as roads, telecommunications systems, and airports still remains the main area of concern for the Chinese Government. Airport security still holds a major share for video surveillance in the country. Hospital and health institutions also represent a lucrative segment of the safety and security market. Further, a recent report by RNCOS titled, Global CCTV Market Forecast to 2014, forecast CCTV market in China to reach an amount of US$ 3.9 Billion by 2014, growing at a CAGR of around 27% since 2012.
Currently, the surveillance system market is dominated by digital systems, which are gradually replacing analog systems. The IP-based video surveillance market, which accounted for an estimated 15% share of the total market in 2009, is recording rapid growth. It is further anticipated to account for nearly 26% of the total market by the 2014-end.
Also, video surveillance market has been experiencing significant growth across the globe over the past few years owing to rising concerns for security and safety. This has resulted into an increased demand for technically advanced surveillance system, thereby, creating huge growth opportunities for CCTV manufacturers, operators, and distributors.
The region-level analysis, carried out in Global CCTV Market Forecast to 2014, revealed that Asia and Middle East will gain significant share in the global CCTV market by 2014-end, capturing around one-fourth share. India and China with their huge population base will be the key drivers in the Asian market. The report also discusses the CCTV market in major countries like the US, Canada, the UK, Italy, Germany, and Russia, among others, and

Excellent Product!This a must have tripod if you are looking for something that is sturdy as well as lightweight. I know it comes with a heavy price tag but thats what you have to pay for traveling light. If weight is not an issue get the 055XPROB which is also an excellent product that comes at 10k!

rock solid...Just loved it, rock solid, light and really tall, on second thoughts i could have done with a shorter tripod (if that would have reduced the weight and cost) . tested it on a 100-400 lens and there is absolutely no wobble

5.0 stars 5 totalReview Howard Ackerman
Posted by a client
I was extremely satisfied in how Mr. Ackerman handled my case. He was knowledgeable and well-prepared. He pursued my case aggressively which allowed him to settle my case for considerably more than I thought I would get. He also got back to me in a reasonable time in response to all of my questions. The next time aI need a lawyer, I would hire him again.
Posted by a client
It was a pleasure to do business with an attorney who made me feel he was truly looking out for my best interest. If you want someone who will work hard for you, be fair, professional, consistent, communicate all aspects of your case, and fight for what he knows you deserve. Then Howard Ackerman is the lawyer you need to retain.
I had a small personal injury case, and having had to deal with a very shady personal injury lawyer in the past, I was reluctant to have to go through that ordeal again. When my chiropractor, Dr. Glen Loebig (McLean, Va) referred me to Mr. Ackerman I was not sure what to I would be walking into. I knew my chiropractor was a standup guy and hoped he would only associate with professionals of the same caliber.
During our first meeting Mr. Ackerman listened to what I had to say, asked questions and provided me with his assessment of my case. He also informed me if he was not living up to my expectations on how I thought my case should be handled to let him know and he would work to meet them. I can confidently say, he exceeded my expectations.
Posted by Hajia
Lawyer Ackerman is a good Lawyer and I can recommend him to anybody and all my friends because he takes his time to explain everything to me.
Posted by Rachel
I have a back injury from my job, I have had 2 injection,intense therapy, still was not able to get my back right. I was unable to return back to work because of my back, I contact Mr Arckman and he was there to give me support threw it all, he stayed in contact with me, he was caring, he help me get the right compensation for my injury and a great settlement. He is a great Lawyer. Thank You Mr. Ackerman
Posted by Judy
Mr. Ackerman has represented me in court numerous times over a period of years. He has won my case every time in taking on a large well known hotel chain in the area. I would recommend Mr Ackerman to anyone who needs an attorney. He is trustworthy and very thorough in his work. He is an amazing lawyer who is knowledgeable and who has kept me well informed. He listens and answers any questions I might have. I have the utmost respect and trust in Mr. Ackerman representing me as my attorney. With confidence, I recommend his services.

text: Arts & Culture Arts and culture Kip Winger On The Rise By James Baker • Jun 1, 2016 Kip Winger Fall from Grace In 1985 you would have found bass guitarist Kip Winger performing as a member of the rock group Alice Cooper. Two years later, at Cooper's suggestion, he formed his own metal rock band, which he called Winger. The advent of grunge rock in the early '90s immediately undermined Winger's style of music. Overnight, he was a man without a recording contract, and seemingly a man without a future in pop music. He must have been asking himself: Is it really Easy Come Easy Go? Symphony Invites Your Artistry For Last Performance Of The Season By Jack Morgan • May 31, 2016 Paul Glickman The San Antonio Symphony has put together an interesting event for its weekend performances. It's the closing event of the Spring 2016 symphony season. Here's Symphony President David Gross talking about the event. "We have the Beethoven Violin Concerto with our guest artist Augustin Hadelich. Fabulous violinist." Hadelich is a Grammy Award winner. Guadalupe Launches Flamenco Fridays By Jack Morgan • May 30, 2016 The Guadalupe Dance Company is starting up a series of recurring dance events and it starts with a phrase in Spanish: Pisando Fuerte. "Pisando Fuerte means stomping hard, which of course, is Flamenco dance." The Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center's Jeanette Chavez. And she's talking about something they're calling Flamenco Fridays, which happen the next two Fridays, June 3rd and June 10th. Self-described 'Awkward Kid' Laven Grows Into 'Stronger Artist' By Nathan Cone • May 27, 2016 Nathan Cone / TPR As she writes on her website, Rachel Laven is an "old soul with big dreams and wanderlust." At age 23, she's already had plenty of time to age the soul onstage, playing with her family band, The Lavens, as well as solo gigs and guest spots with YesBodyElse. But there's no hint of weariness as she talks about her nouveau-bluegrass ("newgrass") project, Sweet 'Shine & Honey, formed in 2013.

A column of white tents blooming along the tree-lined paths in South Shore Park will signal the staging of the ninth annual South Shore Frolics Festival of Arts on Sunday, July 15, sponsored by the Bay View Arts Guild. Part of the Bay View Lions Club's 63rd South Shore Frolics, the Festival of Arts will be found in South Shore Park near the corner of Rusk and Superior Streets, and will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free.
The art fair, popular with artists, the south shore community, and the broader Midwestern region, showcases original artwork and fine crafts from 70 local and regional artists. Works on exhibit and available for sale include paintings, ceramics, jewelry, photography, wearables, sculpture, and woodwork.
"Seventy artists have been carefully selected to offer an interesting and rewarding experience for art fair patrons," says Lynn Pritchard, BVAG's Co-Chair of the event. "The jury worked to make sure we offer a variety of styles and media, with a little bit of the unexpected and unpredictable thrown in." Pritchard notes that the show includes artists from the immediate area, as well as from throughout Wisconsin and beyond. "Many are local favorites who have exhibited for several years," she says, "but quite a few are new and emerging artists."
To enhance the experience for artists and patrons alike, local musicians New Red Moons will offer up their distinctive blend of '60s rock, old-time folk, and modern lo-fi in an acoustical performance.
