I have a Linux-based file server at home which I access from my Windows machine through SMB. I have been running Windows 8 Consumer Preview for ~6 months straight without any issues.
I've recently upgraded to the Windows 8 RTM (Pro), and now performance has gone from stellar to abysmal. I am experiencing extreme loss of speed (previously able to stream high resolution video, now has trouble keeping up with loading small audio files), as well as sporadic loss of connection.
Update: After doing some more research, it seems the issue is that my network connection is capped at ~10mbit downstream. I am using the builtin RealTech gigabit ethernet adapter with a Cat5 cable and a Netgear gigabit router. What in the Windows software could cause this cap, and how would I go about fixing it?

Leading a Student Club is challenging but rewarding work. It is neither the role of the president nor of the advisor to run the club alone, but rather to facilitate its growth and development. Student Clubs are most effective, productive, and enjoyable when everyone plays a part in their success. 1. Delegating – An organized leader keeps track of tasks that need to be done and delegates those tasks to as many people as possible.2. Committees – Break down the various tasks of the club into committees and have a different person chair each committee. Ideas for committees include Publicity, Recruitment, and Special Events.3. Training – The College offers many opportunities for leaders to improve their skills. Encourage members of your club to attend such workshops.4. Ask & Listen – One of the most common mistakes made by leaders is in failing to ask the club membership for its opinions and desires, as well as listening to what they have to say. The quickest way to alienate yourself from your membership is to act in a vacuum.5. Admit Mistakes – Everyone makes mistakes and you'll make your fair share. When that happens, admit it, apologize, and move on. Be just as willing to forgive the mistakes of others.Student Life has taken feedback from previous student leaders and advisors and developed the following to assist your club with it leadership development, event planning, running effective meetings and agendas, posting policies, and other club needs.

|"Reign in Hell" #1 on sale July 30
Yesterday, CBR News spoke with fan favorite creator Keith Giffen about his upcoming miniseries âAmbush Bug: Year None,â which marks Giffenâs return -- after nearly 15 years to one of if not the most beloved characters he has created in his 30-plus years in the industry. Today, we descend from the peaks of hilarity and frivolity that are guaranteed to ensue in those six issues to the depths of doom and gloom in the other big-time project heâs working on as an exclusive writer for DC Comics, the eight-issue miniseries âReign in Hell,â illustrated by Matt Clark and Stephen Segovia.
As Giffen told CBR News, shifting gears from a humor book like âAmbush Bugâ to the holier-than-thou âReign in Hellâ takes some getting used to. âThatâs takes an interesting attitude adjustment,â laughed Griffen, who explained the genesis of the project was born from DC wanting to re-think their version of Hell. âDC wanted to start utilizing some ground rules for magic in the DC Universe. Michael Moorcock had written this wonderful extensive bible on magic that sort of fell through the cracks. And Iâve got that. Iâm trying to input as much of that as possible.â
Giffen said his job is to give DC another world that stands unique. âItâs not going to be DCâs version of where Mephisto is. Our devil doesnât annul marriages,â quipped Giffen. âItâs not going to be beholden to images weâve had around us since Dante. Iâve said in the book, âIf you have a naked demon in a pit of fire,â donât do it. We are trying to do something different with the concept. And we also want to further explore some of the DC mystic characters.â
âRein in Hellâsâ headline heavyweight matchup for the ultimate control of Hell features Neron pitted against the tag team of Blaze and Lord Satanus.
|On sale now, "DC Universe Special: Reign in Hell" reprints classic Lord Satanus stories
Neron -- originally introduced in Mark Waid and Howard Porterâs 1995 miniseries âUnderworld Unleashedâ -- rules Hell and its nine provinces as the de facto Devil of DCU. âWe are focused on Neronâs dominion, which is known as Hell. He has been the devil figure for a long time. Heâs a Mephisto character,â explained Giffen. âHell, of course, is a dominion of a much greater realm. The Earthly Hell that we see is basically for Earthly souls. Hell would be a universe much like our universe is a universe, with different dominions headed up by different archfiends, all overseen by Lucifer.
âBut if Hell is supposed to be a mockery of Godâs works, God created the universe right? So youâve got to mock it all.â
In the other corner are Lord Satanus and his sister Blaze -- the half-demon children of Shazam and an unnamed demoness. Blaze first faced Superman in âAction Comicsââ #655 in 1990 while Satanus made his debut in âAdventures of Supermanâ #493 in 1992. âAt one point, Blaze was established as ruling Purgatory and she brings her brother in to help,â said Giffen. âPurgatory is defined, at least as far as I read or what I have chosen to read, is where righteous souls who died blasphemous deaths go. Itâs like a better subdivision of Hell.â
Giffen said if his prevailing storyline sounds familiar, what with America in the home stretch of a Presidential campaign, it was not by accident. âThe crux of the story is Satanus and Blaze co-opted Purgatory to their cause so they could wage war against Hell through a message of hope,â explained Giffen. âThey want to conquer Hell and rid it of the total miasma of hopelessness. There will be a hope of redemption. Theyâll give speeches about the punishments that are being handed out that are way out of proportion to the crimes that landed people there. Itâs really a war of two points of view. That said; I am not playing Satanus like Barack Obama. I am not doing that. I donât want to go there.â
|"Reign in Hell" #2 on sale in August
Giffen said the whoâs who of DCUâs magical kingdom will be featured in the series, except for one notable absence. âWe donât have Black Adam, but Shazam is there, in passing,â he revealed.
When asked which Shazam, Giffen laughed, âCaptain Marvel, the one that Billy Batson turned into with the long white hair.â
Giffen continued, âAlmost everyone is going to make an appearance at one time or another. Zatanna, Dr. Fate, Ibis the Invincible, Sargon, The Creeper -- in a weird kind of way-- The Demon, Blue Devil, Black Alice, and I know I am missing some. Basically anyone who is mystically connected to DCU, I am hoping to have show up at least in a cameo. But I know itâs impossible. So if your favorite isnât there, forgive, I just didnât get around to it. Prince Ra-Man. He has a noodle stand in Hell -- kidding, kidding, kidding.â
The writer also confirmed âReign in Hellâ does not tie into the birth of the new New Gods in Grant Morrisonâs âFinal Crisis.â â[âRein in Hellâ] is a completely self-contained story,â he said. âIt takes place in Hell. What ever is going on up on Earth is going up on Earth, whatever is going on in âFinal Crisis,â is going on in âFinal Crisisâ or wherever. Iâve got the underworld. I am telling my story. Thatâs it.â
While the limitless nature of magic seems like the perfect sandbox for a creative mind like Giffenâs to explore, the writer said he will be cleaning up some of the sand toys before he leaves. âI donât think the magical characters have been underused. Zatanna has been all over the place. And âShadowpactâ did a lot for elevating some of the lesser known characters. But itâs the same thing with Marvel, itâs the same thing with any company that has magical characters, the writer brings his own sensibilities to how the magic works,â Giffen explained.
|"Reign in Hell" #3 on sale in September
âMost of magic is the âpoint and clickâ variety. You extend your index finger and your pinkie, make the Spider-Man thing and shoot a spell or just talk backwards. I used to keep thinking what would happen if Zatanna started talking backwards in her sleep? I guess I am trying to make it a bit more difficult for people to access magic and again, everyone always talks about the price you pay when you are doing magic. But that price has always been, âI am going to cast a spell and oh, no, I threw up a frog.â I donât think thatâs what people mean about the price of magic. Itâs the price you pay in altered perception. Its effect on the soul or whatever you believe to be the soul. How it affects you as a person to be dabbling in energies and incantations and different abilities that are unquantifiable.â
Giffen was tempted to say he was trying to put a little of the âdignityâ back in magic but he said thatâs not exactly true. âAnd thatâs really arrogant because these characters have been handled well before, sometimes in an undignified manner but thatâs been really rare,â he offered. âLook, letâs redefine Hell and in doing so, redefine access to infernal powers and see if we can spread that from infernal powers out into the greater realm of DC magic. That said, I am not writing a bible here. Itâs not after âReign in Hell,â my word is etched in stone. Itâs my way now. Weâre not doing that. Weâre just trying to see if we can at least lay a foundation.â
And that foundation needs balance.
âDC has played the balance game for a long-time ordering chaos and all that, Heaven and Hell. So if you accept the universe has a series of checks and balances then thatâs a pretty good foundation to work up from,â Giffen explained. âIt really never goes further than the balance. Magic is always tough because sometimes you have to think around how stupid the character is acting.
|Also by Keith Giffen, "Ambush Bug: Year None" #1 on sale July 23
âWhy doesnât Zatanna just walk into a supervillain fight and say backwards, âYou are all in jail.â What would happen if she said, âI am Godâ backwards? At what point do her vocal chords refuse to respond. What is extent of her logomancy?
But, Giffen added, this is a problem for both the supernatural and the superheroic. âWhat about the Flash? We have seen how fast he is. What if he spent an hour every morning gathering up all the firearms -- every morning? âOh no, Clayface escaped from jail.â âI got him.â Sometimes having to work past the limitless powers of the characters, actually a lot of the time, thatâs done by putting silly speed bumps in the way.
âThatâs why dealing with magic can be frustrating. Can you really paint yourself into a corner in a story using magic? No. Because someone wiggles their nose and itâs all fine and good. And I have been trying to really stay away from that. Set some kind of limitations on the characters without being patently ridiculous.
âLike, Dr. Fate can do this, this, this and this but then heâs got to have some Kool-Aid. No, no, no.â
With art by Matt Clark and Stephen Segovia and covers by Clark and Kevin Nowlan, âReign in Hellâ #1 is due in stores July 30 from DC Comics.
Now discuss this story in CBR's DC Comics forum.

Upstate man flies flag upside down to protest bailout
Published: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 11:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 11:16 a.m.
GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) -- A Greenville man who says his business suffered in the decline of the textile industry has been flying the U.S. flag upside down to protest the bailout of the financial sector.
Jeff Russo of Greenville Industrial Rubber & Gasket Co. Inc., said the textile industry's problems have cost his company about $1.5 million annually.
Russo told The Greenville News he got no objections about the flag for about a month, but then a veteran complained and a television station did a story. He says reaction has been mixed.
Russo said Tuesday he loves the United States and is concerned for the country's future.
He said the government never bailed out the textile industry, telling workers to train for different jobs or to find new markets.
Russo restored the flag to its normal position Monday.

Conventional Wisdom
DNC Day 2: Will America Accept First Lady Michelle?
Author and Columbia University professor Farah Jasmine Griffin shares her thoughts on Michelle Obama's DNC address last night. She writes, in part, "It is Michelle's blackness that has deeply disturbed many Americans and much of the press, and it is that same blackness that has endeared her to many, but not all, black Americans." Read and respond.
By the time Michelle Obama — the woman who many hope will be America's next First Lady — took center stage, the Pepsi Stadium was electric with anticipation. We'd just watched a well-produced video, South Side Girl, documenting her "American" story.
It was followed by her brother's loving introduction. Watching her, resplendent in teal, perfectly made up and coifed, I wondered, "What will it take for Americans to love this woman?" Surrounded by tall placards with her name in bold white print, I thought "What will the pundits make of her performance?" I had no doubt she would be elegant, beautiful, intelligent and graceful. She always is. I wasn't concerned that she might slip up and speak a basic truth about our deeply flawed nation. She has learned her lesson and there are now handlers to assure that she makes no such slips.
It is Michelle's blackness that has deeply disturbed many Americans and much of the press, and it is that same blackness that has endeared her to many, but not all, black Americans. For those of us who share her race, gender and generation, the negative reaction she has inspired is stunning. As with Michelle, we are the daughters of hard working, even struggling, parents.
We are the daughters who were constantly told that we mustn't ever fit the stereotypes "they" have of us. We were raised to take advantage of the opportunities created for us by the Civil Rights Movement (and though rarely acknowledged, by the Feminist Movement as well). We grew up in black communities that were proud of us.
And, when we went off to predominantly white, elite colleges and universities it was with the reminder that we must do better than well, and that we dare not forget those we left behind. Why are black women like Michelle Obama, black women who have been educated alongside and worked with white Americans as equals, so unfamiliar to so many Americans?
Unlike Oprah, a billionaire media mogul who serves as a spiritual mother to millions of American women, Michelle is mother only to her own precious daughters. An accomplished professional, a devoted mother, sister, wife, daughter and friend, Michelle Obama is like countless other American women and yet many white Americans have found it impossible to see themselves or their aspirations in her.
Maybe it is because they cannot imagine her as First Lady. "Lady" is not a designation easily bestowed upon black women. In fact, it is an identity that we have had to fiercely fight for. In an effort to leave behind a legacy of forced labor and forced sex, formerly enslaved women valued ladylike behavior and instilled it in their daughters as if that alone would save the race.
However, in both legal and popular discourses, the privileges of ladyhood were reserved for white females. Many white Americans are comfortable with fictions of welfare and quota queens. Unfortunately a younger generation, encouraged by irresponsible artists and greedy corporate conglomerates, have also grown comfortable with "video hoes." But are Americans ready to bestow that designation — Lady, First Lady — on a black woman? And, at what price?
Last night, Michelle Obama was all that one would have expected of her. She was articulate and empathetic. She was patriotic and visionary. She stressed the importance of education without emphasizing her own educational pedigree. She was elegantly dressed, replete with portrait collar and flattering 3/4-length sleeves. Her hair was "appropriately" straight. She acknowledged her debt to past struggles for social justice, both those for racial equality and gender equality. She was magnanimous towards Hilary Clinton. She was not threatening or loud. She did not raise an eyebrow. She painted a vision of a glowing future led by her husband. And she gave Americans a picture of themselves as a people striving together toward a better tomorrow. She gave no specific policy points (Americans tend not to like that in their first ladies) nor did she acknowledge any ongoing racial tensions. She was soft and feminine.
By the end of her speech when she was joined on stage by her daughters and the stadium erupted in thunderous applause, my heart was full but my mind was still aflutter with questions:
Did she successfully do what the campaign wanted her to do? Will working class white Americans feel any closer to her and, by extension, to her husband? Will middle-class white professional women and stay-at home moms see themselves in her? Will self conscious (and a few self-hating) black Americans think she represented the race well?
I can almost say with certainty that elderly black women, the church and neighborhood mothers, were indeed proud. And the rest of us who have loved her from day one can only pray for her protection, her safety and her sanity on this mad journey.

Can you imagine if Michelle Obama had an issue with drugs and lying like Cindy McCain? Michelle Obama has succeeded despite racism. I have read blogs where white males have attacked her as a woman with disparaging remarks. The remarks are baseless and words they would never use in the presence of their mothers. The only white that seem upset with Michelle are the ones who are not a success at life. All those entitlements and still a failure must hurt. lol

longer than one syllable.
We need a president that understands we want America back!
Fannie Lou Hamer, Shirley Chisolm, Barbara Jordan, and Carol Mosely-Braun (just to name a few) have all walked this road before. Michelle Obama is not the 1st and won't be the last African American Woman trailblazer in American politics.
Michele Obama made a comment early on in the campaign ("For the first time in my life...") that appears to have framed the voting collectives' idea of what she's like as a person.
Alternatively, Former President Clinton made comments during the Primary that many thought bordered on racist. I'm not suggesting that Former President Clinton is a racist. In fact, there is nothing in his history, that I have read, that would make me believe that he may be racist. However, he was forgiven for his words/comments and the nation appears to have moved on.
Michele Obama has learned the hard way that there are statements you cannot make when your spouse is seeking the highest office in the nation.
Its not that she is not smart. Not very many slouches matriculate into Harvard law. However, this is new territory for her. Never before have people held onto every word that comes out of her mouth. Many may want her to make comments that may be viewed as "disloyal" or "ungrateful" so that these words can be attributed to her husband and his aspiration to the Presidency.
Can this country warm up to a black, female, Harvard lawyer from the south side of Chicago. You bet! Will Michele have her detractors on both sides of the aisle? Certainly. Will blacks, whites, brown people and yellow throw shade because of her education and demeanor? Yep. It goes with the territory. Haters never tire.
Bottom-line, Michele has what it takes to represent this country on the biggest stage. She's as smart (probably smarter) as any other first lady. She just needs to be given a chance to do some on the job training. Given the chance, I am confident we as a nation can learn to appreciate her for all of the great qualities she brings to the table.
mr fiedman maybe you want that but most of us don't time will tell
I guess it is because I'm a black woman that I found it very easy to give Michelle Obama a thumbs up from day one -- but then again what's not to love. She is obviously intelligent and accomplished, but not boastful. Everything she has, she has worked (hard) for; the life she has was not handed to her on a silver platter. She has a natural beauty that everyone can relate to.
However, I was disappointed in her speech last night. She blew the perfect opportunity to win over the rest of America that cannot relate to her the way I can. I thought the touching film, narrated by her mother, put to rest these unjust bourgeoisie/out-of-touch with the commoners rumors, which began with the Clinton campaign (causing me to switch my support to the Obama camp) and further perpetrated by the McCain campaign. Her brother's introduction basically reiterated the central points made in the film. Needless to say, I was let down when Michelle used this precious moment to, once again, hammer the non-substantive point that she is a working class girls who's done good. Instead, of this redundancy, Michelle should have used this platform to illustrate what she will do as First Lady. Will she encourage kids to 'just say no' like Nancy Regan, or fight for universal health care, like Hillary Clinton. I think a personal platform utilizing her education, skills, and background would have more endearing than -- dare I say -- rhetoric.
-Former student of Prof. Farah Griffin
I really enjoyed your post Dr. Griffin. It is interesting and understandable at the same time that a subset of White America feel that they do not "know" Michelle Obama. On CNN after the speech, one commentator remarked that Americans don't feel like they "know" Michelle Obama. As a psychologist-in-training that studies racial microaggressions, I read between the lines and saw that the America he was referring to was White America. The larger issue is that a subset of Caucasians don't know or understand the Black experience. By proxy, they don't understand Michelle Obama. God giveth more grace, it's not the first time that they haven't understood and it won't be the last. Thankfully, we've never needed their understanding to break through barriers and shine.
That oft quoted statement by Michelle Obama continues to be misquoted: she said "for the first time my ADULT life, I am proud of my country." One must remember that, being a relatively young woman, her adult life began only about 25 years ago, making it about 1980. And what has happened in America since 1980? Well, lets' see: how about the Iran-Contra scandal, the growth of greed as a creed, a horrendous trade imbalance and national debt, the current Iraq "war", the United States military now sanctions torture, NAFTA, stolen elections, abuse of immigrants, the denigration of labor unions, the shame of the Katrina response, 9-11 and Muslim bashing, a presidential sex scandal that illustrated a personal weakness not a dereliction of duty to his office, several mass murders at public schools and universities, a declining middle class, millions without any access to health care, growing numbers of homeless people brought on primarily by medical debt, unprecedented numbers of home foreclosures, growing unemployment, squalid conditions in V.A. hospitals, and the lsit goes on and on. I'm with Michelle--there isn't much to be proud of except millions of people inspired by her husband and willing to set aside old, racist attitudes and truly judge him by the content of his character and not the color of his skin. She made that remark in the context of that realization and I think she had a point. I'm a middle aged white woman who by all demographic data should have been supporting Hillary Clinton, but I noticed Barack Obama back in 1984, was intrigued by him, bought his books and actually read them both and have been supportive of his candidacy ever since. I think Michelle Obama is destined to be a magnificent First Lady--strong, passionate, intelligent, well-educated, honest, practical, humble, and beautifully elegant. Those are qualities I admire in any person. For heaven's sake, stop the petty criticisms and see her for the person she really is. She represents the best of what America has to offer and she deserves no less than our collective respect.
THE pros and cons of Michelle Obama,is not personal(at least should not be).
But this is an Ivory Leauge elite professional who husband seek the most powerful position in the world, yet she is above people critical viewpoint.
I have nothing but respect for Michelle Obama. You don't accomplish what she has without hard work, drive, intellect, and self-discipline. And I don't have to be black or have working class roots to get that.
But it distresses me that she's being called on to play this "helpmeet" role. The way we require our political leaders to parade their family life and their personal lives makes me ill. I understand why Ms. Obama had to do this; why her two lovely daughters had to be there with her; why they all had to perform this script and say "I love you" on cue. But this kind of thing makes my skin crawl almost as much as the way Joe Biden's dead wife and daughter get trotted out to illustrate his "personal journey." I hope they manage to preserve some crumb of privacy and intimacy as a family -- even in the White House.
Excellent synopsis Dr. Griffin. As I watched the MSNBC coverage with Matthews, Obermman, and Buchannan I could not help but feel sorry for Buchannan as he referred to Michelle Obamba as "gal" obviously unable to allow his hardened heart to refer to her as simply Michelle Obama. I am sure he and othes like him were seething with indignation. How truly small they are...
I am a 60-year-old white woman, liberal from birth. I listened to Michelle Obama last night. She was so perfectly cast and scripted to "fit" with "everyone's ideal" of a first lady should be. I wanted to go through the screen and shake her and say, "Michelle, you are awesome, so just be real and be yourself." Yes, you are a wife, mother, daughter, but you are also an awesome lawyer, non-profit professional, teacher, community-minded person who has a lot to offer this nation. Please DO NOT have a "cookie baking" moment, just share your talents with this nation that needs you and your wonderful husband. Both of you are leaders that have vision. Do not let the handlers squeeze that out of you." You will be a wonderful First Lady in the genre of Eleanor Roosevelt. Step into the role and do not let anyone intimidate you from it!
Watching Mrs. Obama was electrifying and promising.. I only hope that middle american can recognize the change that the world needs.. The clinton's changed the country.. The obama's have changed the world... Are we ready? I know I am.. I hope everyone get's on board and does their part as an American. Vote for Obama people.. I don't think you want another four years with Bush posing as MCCAIN
There is NOTHING wrong with Michelle and I won't entertain the question of is she 'qualified' whatever that means or will America accept her.
Carlynn and Loy (at the end) both right on.
Unfortunately,The anti-intellectual dumbing down of EVERYTHING so as not to offend insecure, ignorant & one dimensional fossils like Joe six pack means that America isn't ready for high-level discourse at a time when we REALLY need to be.
That's why simplistic NEGATIVE campaigns work, because we are not an evolved culture.
America looks to the future through a mirror.
I believe that Michelle's speech was scripted to appeal to as many people as possible. Most idiots (oops, I mean People..) would be intimidated if she did not come off as feminine, and as white-looking as possible.
She will be more free to 'be herself' after she is in the white house.
I am a white female, in my 50's.
We need Obama to turn this country around!
Interesting comments thus far...what America is seeing is politics play out in a very deliberate manner. Running for President is not for the weak. We will look at this time in history and marvel at the work that America has accomplished, but also be overwhelmed with what is left to do. A Black woman as the "First Lady" is new for all as is a Black male President.
One only has to look back and see Hillary as first lady and know that she was shaped as well, but look at her now. Don't women always adopt a role. Sometimes men adopt the role as well. The fact is American's aren't real fond of reality we are a country founded on ideals. What is the ideal woman or for that matter ideal "Black" woman? That script is continually changing.
Michelle has known for some time what she would have to do for Barack to be President. Barack refers to her as his rock because in many ways he needs this type of woman to be the man he must be. Marriage is a partnership with negotiated give and take. I was proud of Michelle Obama and I was proud of what she has accomplished! I believe Michelle and her girls know that they are part of something larger than themselves. You can script moments, but the real experience plays out in larger context. Did you see Sasha's eyes as she came on stage? I think a 7 year old's wonder at the moment was the most honest part of the evening. Children can not be scripted as much as adults. I believe that her I love you's and insistence on talking to her daddy were real. The Obamas are a loving family this can not be scripted and will not change.
I am a black woman, I like Michelle Obama. So many black and white women at Blackwhitemeet.com like her. We often discuss something there.
Michelle Obama's speech was a carefully orchestrated attempt to portray her as "less black", less intelligent, and less opinionated than she probably is. This is not surprising in the slightest but is still a powerful example of some of the most saddening aspects of America and American politics, such as rampant, if sometimes subtle (to white people) racism (and sexism), the political ignorance of many Americans (e.g., that transparent advertising-type tactics are more moving to most people than is their own daily experience or an even slightly thoughtful reflection on the welfare of themselves, their families and friends, and their fellow humans), etc. I didn't find Michelle Obama's speech to be a negative reflection of her, but of ourselves, and of the corporate powers that rule our world and constantly mold our thinking through the media they own. I'm sure the Obamas will do a great job, at least relative to what the Republicans have and will continue to do. Unfortunately, I wonder if anyone who could actually have a chance of winning the presidency will actually have the desire and power to take our country back from the transnational corporations (rather than taking huge amounts of money from them) and begin to make the changes needed to keep America and our civilization from crumbling under the weight of overpopulation, global climate change, war, famine, and all the other heavy problems currently faced by our world. There will be a time when even "simple people" will have to wake up and work to make these changes themselves (e.g., by turning off the TV, putting solar panels on their houses, riding their bikes or plug-in cars to work, fostering a multi-party political system in America, and working in at least small ways to help other beings on this planet).
The fact is that although much has changed - much has not. Minorities and women continue to endure double-standards when it comes to being evaluated by the majority community. 'We have to do twice as well to be even marginally considered "as good." As Kipersting noted in the first post 'Can you imagine if Michelle Obama had an issue with drugs and lying like Cindy McCain?' Or what if she had accidentally killed another teenage driver at age 17 as did current First Lady Laura Bush managed in 1963? For that matter - how harshly would Senator Obama be criticized if he had been involved in the Savings and Loan scandals of the 80s and 90's that caused the collapse of 747 banking institutions nationwide and cost the taxpayers 125 billion? Allow me to answer - the media would have savaged either of the Obama's and we wouldn't be having this conversation. The only reason that we are in fact having this conversation is that both Obamas have done a remarkably good job of avoiding imprpriety and scandal - even the accidental ones. Are they perfect? Not by far....but they both are much better suited for the job and position than any of the other competition on either side of the aisle. If largely white voting block that will determine the outcome of this election fails once again to put the best interests of the country ahead of partisanship and race - then we all will certainly continue to pay dearly for their shortsightedness.
Comparing her fine speech to that of Hillary Clinton's fine speech the next night, I'm sure Michelle Obama would have loved to call the roll of other black sheroes and heroes who have paved the way for her and her husband, but she would have been seen skewered and lampooned as a black nationalist whose only concern is with black people and black issues!
Too bad Michelle Obama had to use class to make herself palatable to and draw a connection with the rest of America.
Too bad she could not mention race, nor call up the example of any black women forerunners (other than her mother) when she addressed the convention the other night.
It is my opinion that Michelle Obama possesses all the poise and intellect required to back her husband as he prepares for the election and ultimately, the presidency. The controversy surrounding the Obamas is a mere distraction from the real issues that plague our country. Certainly if anyone should doubt the Obamas' patriotism, simply listen to their story-it is the quintessential American dream.
The reality of such disparaging remarks about this remarkable woman prompts the voice of our ancestor (Black American Woman) Sojourner Truth passionately inquiring, "Ain't I a Woman?"
Yes, Michelle Obama will make a very Lovely First Lady. She's achieved in her career, also she's an excellent Mother and wife. She gives all her time in supporting in assisting her Husband in his Political Career. I pray that Sen. Barak Obama wins the office of President of United States of America. Our Country needs Mr. Obama to bring us out of this situation our country is in.
Michelle keep your FAITH and TRUST in
JESUS CHRIST and he will see you through the JOURNEY that GOD has for you and your Husband, and MOST of all your Children."The Best Is Yet To Come"

Taxpayers Deserve Break If Possible
Most Marshall County residents are willing to pay a little extra on their property tax bills to ensure they get good-quality public schools. They have proven that for decades by keeping a special levy in place to support schools.
Voters renewed the levy again earlier this month -but by a narrower margin than in the past. This time, 60.15 percent of voters said yes to the higher taxes. The last time the levy was on the ballot, 64 percent were in favor.
Some voters were upset when, earlier this year, the county Board of Education voted to keep the regular tax rate at its normal rate, despite an increase in the value of taxable property in the county.
School officials insisted that even with the increase in taxable property, retaining the old levy rate would bring in only $68,017 more a year for schools. They also pointed out the cost of operating schools has increased, due to factors such as higher prices for bus fuel.
Still, the margin of passage for the special levy shows a substantial number of Marshall County taxpayers remain discontented.
School board members' first priority is – and should be – providing the best education possible for Marshall County children.
At the same time, they owe taxpayers some consideration. This year, then, when regular levy rates are set, board members should consider carefully whether they can continue to provide quality schools while also giving taxpayers a break.

As subjective as your question is, so are the answers you're likely to receive.
Take a trip to the gun shop and see if they have an indoor range with rentals you can try out. Its important to first choose a gun you can fire reasonably well. As a small person, you will need to assess your priorities and make adjustments to your dress code, etc. I know because I'm on the smaller side as a man, so I have to choose carefully for the same reasons.
BTW: There are purses that are specifically designed with a special compartment for a gun. Unfortunately, these are rather conservative looking' and may not fit your younger life-style. Still, there are dozens of options so take your time and experiment.

At DCâs âJSA: The Great Societyâ panel at Comic-Con International, it was announced that top-selling series âJustice Society of America,â will break off into two series this fall.
Beginning next week, the new co-writers Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges of âJustice Society of Americaâ will launch a five-issue arc which will establish the new status quo for the title and will lay the foundation for a second title in the JSA franchise, âJSA All Stars.â
Willingham (âFablesâ) will stay with âJustice Society of Americaâ while Sturges (âJack of Fablesâ) will take the reins of the new series with fan favorite artist Freddie Williams II, who he previously worked with on âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Run.â
CBR News caught up with Sturges late Thursday night to see how he landed on his roster of Stargirl, Damage, Judomaster, Wildcat (Tom Bronson), Thunder, Magog, Power Girl, Citizen Steel, Hourman and Cyclone and also to find out who the new guy is next to Magog on the teaser cover that DC released today, as well.
CBR News: Did you know âJSA All Starsâ was coming when you signed on to co-write âJustice Society of Americaâ with Bill Willingham?
Matthew Sturges: Yes, this has been in the works since Day One. When they hired me and Bill to do the book it was always with the understanding that we were going to be splitting the book in two.
Once split, will we see the two teams crossover between the two books?
We each have our own team that we put together. Itâs a sensible sort of splitting. I hate to use the word "split," because the JSA isnât breaking up. Itâs more like they are creating two teams. But it makes sense who is going with who. On my team, there are more the younger folks and Billâs team has more the older generation.
Initially, weâre going to try and establish the feel of each individual book and try and really give the characters as much screen time as we can give them, which is one of the prime reasons that we wanted to do it because there are so many great characters, and it just seemed to be that some of them were not getting all the air time they deserved.
We talked a little bit about doing a JSA/JLA Annual where certainly everyone would come back together and Iâm sure that Bill and I, at some point, will cook up some excuse to bring these two teams together.
So obviously, you and Bill will be exploring the split â or the breaking off into two teams â in your arc together as co-writers on âJustice Society of Americaâ?
Yes, thatâs pretty much what the story is about through it all. Thereâs a very serious situation. Thereâs a lot of battle, a lot of damage. And itâs as a result of what happens in that arc that the teams find themselves necessitating this, for reasons which I canât tell you because it would totally spoil stuff.
You mentioned in the panel today that Power Girl is still very much the leader of this team, but will she be butting heads, or horns I guess, with Magog, another superhero that appears to have leadership aspirations?
Well, I donât want to spoil too much because their relationship is a part of the initial plot of the series, just how they relate to each other. Not that they have a romantic relationship, which they donât. Or do they?
But yes, definitely, theyâre both leaders in different ways and they have different ideas about what that means.
What about the rest of the team? How did you and Bill pick who got who?
Well, you know, it was nice because editorial really left that up to us to decide. And we had a pretty good sense of who we wanted, in general, just due to the nature of the two teams. But there were a couple that we fought over, most notably, Judomaster was one that we both wanted because we both think sheâs really cool and itâs sort of blank slate that you could do a lot of fun stuff with. So it was almost like trading in baseball. It was like, âYou can have Judomaster and Power Girl but I get Doctor Fate and it all worked out. It never came to blows but we did have some discussions about it.
When we spoke after you initially signed on for the series, you mentioned Stargirl was one of your favorites. So did you fight hard to get her?
Absolutely. Thereâs a very important thread that starts in our first issue of âJustice Society of Americaâ involving Stargirl that becomes the main plot of my first arc. So Stargirl is heavily featured in the first arc that I do. And what Iâm going to do for each successive arc is try to bring a couple of characters forward each time to make sure every character gets some time to shine.
What else can you tell us about your opening arc?
The first story arc revolves around a classic JSA villain, one that readers, I think, will be very happy to see against the JSA again and his plans for Stargirl.
One of the fun things that we set up was that there are threads in this initial âJustice Society of Americaâ arc that Bill and I are writing together that play into each of our ongoing series after we separate. It was all very heavily planned from the get go. Again, we knew this was going to happen from the beginning. So we put things in motion that would create ongoing mysteries.
On the cover to âJSA All Starsâ #1, who is the hero just to the left of Magog?
Heâs the guy who you donât know who he is.
So who is he?
Thatâs a new character that I created specifically for this book called King Chimera, who I have big plans for down the road.
What can you tell us about King Chimera?
Well, he claims to be the son of King Standish, who was a master of disguise in the 1940s. He appeared in âFlash Comicsâ back in those days, so heâs definitely a Golden Age legacy character.
Will âJSA All Starsâ tie into âPower Girlâ and the forthcoming âMagogâ ongoing by Keith Giffen and Howard Porter?
Yeah, absolutely. One of the things that we really want to do is to have kind of a JSA family. Keith and I right now are juts sitting down to talk about a JSA annual that is sort of a crossover between âMagogâ and âJSA All Stars.â And he and I are writing that together.
Is the title âJSA All Starsâ a nod to All-Star Squadron?
We went over a couple of different titles and âJSA All Starsâ just seemed to make sense for a lot of reasons. Initially, it goes back to âAll Star Comicsâ from the 1940s where JSA first appeared. There was actually a miniseries called, âJSA All Starsâ by Geoff Johns and David Goyer and then of course, there is the All-Star Squadon.
But when it came to coming up with a title for the book, we knew it had to have JSA in it. But what comes after the colon? And we just kept coming back to All Stars. It just seemed like the only appropriate thing to do.
And youâve got Freddie Williams as your artist, correct?
He is fantastic. Heâs so good. We were working on âFinal Crisis Aftermath: Runâ and Freddie and I just hit it off. We talk on the phone a lot. And we have a lot of similar ideas and similar goals about what we want from the book.
Heâs really fast, so I have to write really fast to keep up with him. He works entirely digitally, so his process is really fascinating to watch. And he just wrote a book that DC is putting out called âThe DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics,â which I really canât wait to read.

"It is beautiful, it is beautiful after all. I have said nothing. I leave nothing. I have not said what I wanted to say. I have so much more to say."

Thanks to Gerry Szymanski, Andrew Galbraith-Ryer, Christoph Sahar, Eric Fundin, RPO Music Director Christopher Seaman and my mom for coming up with great questions for superstar cellist Yo-Yo Ma. I asked him all of your questions, and you can hear his answers in this interview.
Yo-Yo Ma talks about losing his cello, the upcoming Beijing Olympics, and playing with a robot conductor next month. He was warm, funny, and forthright. He'll appear with the RPO on Monday, May 5th.
It's official!
October 21st is the date of the Pre-Broadway Premiere of Pride & Prejudice, the musical by Lindsay Warren Baker and Amanda Jacobs. Eastman Theatre, Rochester.
After Yo-Yo Ma leaves Rochester next week, he'll play under the baton of a robot with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, according to Wired magazine.
A robot might have done a better job than guest conductor Alexander Mickelthwate, who made his first appearance with the RPO this past weekend. The D & C's Stuart Low got it right: the hot, young conductor from Winnipeg was boring. Unnamed sources say local musicians concurred.
On Saturday afternoon, hundreds of opera lovers at Victor's Regal Theatre missed significant chunks of Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" during The Met at the Movies HD broadcast. The video broke up and the sound dropped out at the beginning of the second Act. We watched distorted faces and heard digitized squawks for about a minute. Then the screen went blue. We waited. A staff member rushed in and said they were working on the problem. About ten minutes later, the sound came back and the singers reappeared. Then it happened again. Audiences members groaned, since things were getting really interesting with the shocking disclosure of the Duchess's illegitimate daughter!
I made the questionable decision to bring two nine year-old boys to work with me yesterday, based on the idealistic assumption that exposing them to the world of music and ideas would fire their imaginations, expand their horizons, and change their lives.
By the end of the day, I needed a shot of whisky.
First, we set off for the suite of Entercom-owned commercial radio stations across the street, where my son and his friend met a bunch of charming, funny deejays. One guy put them on the air. This act turned out to be hard to beat.
Today I was honored to attend the William Warfield Scholarship Fund Luncheon where we were all treated to several selections sung by 2007-2008 Scholarship Recipient Julia Allyson Bullock, a Junior at the Eastman School of Music.
This dynamic young woman from St. Louis has a sparkling personality and a clarity of voice that was captivating. Her voice changed from powerful to beautifully sensitive as she expressed the changing character of the music.

Sometimes we can get spoiled by the wealth of classical music that is available in Rochester. We can tune in Classical 91.5 or 90.3 in our homes, cars, on our computers, or take it with us on headphones. We have more concerts available to us than we can possibly attend - at Eastman School of Music, the RPO, Hochstein, Nazareth, the Memorial Art Gallery, local churches and a multitude of other venues. We have such a reach classical community that we may not even realize what great things are happening in the classical world on the other side of the globe.

Hi tiagosgd,
you can use the <!--more--> Tag for disabling it on the Homepage. Is it possible for you? Or are you using the shortcode in your template files?
With the big articles there are no problems.
But the small ones, 1 or 2 lines... put there that tag is a bit strange.
If there are no more solutions... :-)
I can integrate an option for it in the settings for disabling it on home or front-page.
I like the idea :-)
But, then what will we see on the page? How can the people know that need to open the post?
Is not possible to like only the single post on home page?
For example here: http://noalto.com/category/caminhos/acolitos-passionistas/formacao/
If I like one post, I will see the download link in all posts.
This works well with only 1 post open...
I will check. It needs a little bit more time. I give you feedback tomorrow. Is it ok for you?
yeah, that's ok. Thank you
Hey tiagosgd,
I found a solution and discovered some other errors in the plugin. I will rewrite the javascript in the facebook part. I will add the homepage solution and the javascript fixes in the next update. Is it okay or do you need a solution NOW?
I will wait. :-)
Thank you
Hello drumba.
When will be available this update?
It is ready, but I must test a little bit. Hope to release it tomorrow.
Released version 1.2.2
I am pleased to hear from you
Thank you.
If I like a post in the homepage, automatically appears all the "download links" in all posts of the homepage.
The same if I see all posts of a category.
Thanks for your work!
Have you checked the new "Single Page" option on settings page?
Ahhhh now that's better :-)
But... this is happening: I like a post. Than I reload the page... and the download link disappear...
And you have configured the Plugin to show the link after reload?
"Keep Download Link after reload" is checked...
I can ckeck it on monday. Maybe you have disabled cookies?!
Hi tiagosgd,
I tested on my own site and it is working after reload the page. But it is only working, if you like the single page. If you like on the homepage or archive page, you can't reload the single page and hope to see the download link.

After some searching I found a solution to my problem. Which was that my RSS name was so long, containing both the blog name and the post title. (problem fix: remove 'wp_title_rss()' from feed-rss2.php , feed-rss.php and feed-atom.php)
I have had the problem before and also I see loads of question on this subject. Now I am wondering what is the use of 'wp_title_rss()' in the RSS title? So many questions on the RSS feed are how to only have the blog name as the title.
So just for my understanding, can somebody explain why one would want to also add the title of each new post to be/complete the 'name' of the RSS feed?
And if there is no use to it, maybe it is a good suggestion to take it out?
The fix to my problem is in the core files, so I am somewhat hesitant to alter it. (have done it, but still) Maybe a good one for the admin settings? Under 'reading'it would be great. radiobuttons for title, or maybe even the option to put in the name in a textfield?
Looking forward to more insight :)

HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) - All schools in the Huntsville Independent School District are closed until Thursday due to students and staff being sick.
A statement on the school's Web site says classes and extracurricular activities Tuesday and Wednesday at the eight campuses, with about 6,300 students, are canceled "due to a high rate of absences."
Concerns about swine flu and other illnesses have led to numerous absences at schools statewide.
Huntsville, with a population of about 37,000, is 60 miles north of Houston.

Cupertino, CA
Twilight Saga actor Kellan Lutz is set to star as Tarzan in a performance-capture 3D feature from Constantin Film, the production company behind the Resident Evil franchise, Heat Vision reports. Spencer Locke, perhaps best known as K-Mart from Resident Evil: Extinction and Resident Evil: Afterlife, has been cast as Jane.
Reinhard Klooss (Animals United) will direct from a script he co-wrote with Yoni Brenner and Jessica Postigo that updates Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero, making him the son of billionaire adventurers who die in a plane crash. Jane is a conservationist and daughter of an African guide who teams with Tarzan to defeat the mercenary army employed by the villainous CEO of Greystoke Energies, the company once owned by the jungle lord's parents.
In addition to playing Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movies, the 27-year-old Lutz portrayed Poseidon in last year's Immortals. Locke, 20, has appeared on ABC's Cougar Town and Nickelodeon's Big Time Rush.
As a huge Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan fan I'm overall pretty fucking dissapointed by this news. There's no need to update the story or fuck around with the characters. This sucks.
with all due respect in those times there were no conservasionists, so, i feel there is a jump in Tarzan to our times. second, all MOCAP films have flopped, they look ugly and weird, why insist in them? its use in the future will be limited to some charcters on films, not totally mocap. third…well, maybe producers are right becuase no. i dont think so…that we have not seen films of conservasionists….seriously the whole idea, as such stinks. sorry. no news element….

New Denim Brand: In The Loop
LOOK BOOK: Nine Days Denim Fall 2010
Here is the new Fall 2010 Look Book for Nine Days Denim. I have also included their press release below. What do you think of their new styles?
With heavy washing and deconstruction, Nine Days denim is dominating the marketplace by differentiating itself from the other clean finished washes currently out there.

The jeans pioneer new advancements in washing and sewing, producing denim of unfathomable standards.
Dollar for dollar Nine Days offers the best washing in the industry for the best value. This is accomplished through extensive research conducted in the Asian market by creative founder Donwan Harrell, who has over 10 years experience in innovative denim design. He bench marked this with his PRPS line, and with his unique relationships he has been able to source factories that provide the best quality denim for the best prices.

The Chanel Cruise collection debut in St. Tropez was a star studded event! The collection featured pastels offset by light wash denim shorts and pants for men and women. It also included a few stunning darker colored pants (For men and women) paired with similarly hued tweeds. I love the bohemian vibe the florals and light denim give!

"Favorite Embellishment"
I used a sketch I saw many months ago in one of my trips to Blogland :) I think it is cute and different.
My base card is 3" x 4.75". The front panel is 4.25" x 3.25". I used a really yummy pattern paper from Making Memories. The rose and sentiment are from "A year of flowers" Gina K. Designs. The yummy Ribbon is from Offray. I also added 3 red dew drops. The image was colored with Prismacolor Pencils, then I added some Diamond Stickles. I did some faux stitched with my White Gel Pen.
Now head over to Stamp Something Blog Challenge and enjoy the other DT creations. Also, if you play along with us you have the chance to win some yummy prize from our sponsor Quixotic Paperie .
Hope you like my card.
Have a great day!!
ETA: My mojo still gone, I made this card in advance few days ago. I hope I can bring something new soon. Thanks!!
ETAA: Please if you are a prayer person, I will appreciate if you could pray for my little niece Megan, she is 6 , super sweet little girl. Yesterday, she was not feeling well, I talked to my sister and I recommended to take her to the doctor and she did. Megan was diagnosed with Pneumonia, she spent the night at the hospital, sadly, my sister has to come back home with the other 3 kids. Her friends are helping her out, my BIL is not in town, he is working in another state. Please pray for healing for little Megan and also for my sister, she is feeling so overwhelmed . Thanks so much!!!
