Conversations in Black Freedom Studies: The Blues People 50 Years Later

Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom

Event Details
"Inspired by Amiri Baraka's Blues People: Negro Music in White America (1963), a generation of scholars in the field of Jazz and Blues music history and criticism was born, creating a legitimate space in the academy for the serious study of African American music. Joining Amiri Baraka in this conversation-- reflecting on the years between Baraka's Blues People and his Digging: The Afro-American Soul of American Music -- will be two major scholars in this field: Ingrid Monson is the Quincy Jones Professor of Jazz at Harvard and the author of Freedom Sounds: Civil Rights Call out to Jazz and Africa; and John Szwed is the Director of Jazz Studies at Columbia where he is also Professor of Music and Jazz Studies and the author of Jazz 101.
Fifty years ago Blues People was the first book-length history written by an African American that addressed the social, musical, economic, and cultural influences of the blues and jazz on American history. His approach to music criticism was different from anything else that existed when he first began writing in the 1950s and 60s, partly because he was the only black writer in a field of white critics. Furthermore, he was not simply describing the music, but he was also fashioning a type of prose writing that was itself an artistic performance about music." -- Komozi Woodard
Schomburg Education presents this dynamic adult education series with a full line up of provocative scholars and community members committed to engaging dialogue about black freedom studies. The Fall 2013 semester is curated by professors Jeanne Theoharis (Brooklyn College/CUNY) and Komozi Woodard (Sarah Lawrence College).

College board approves tax-free zones
March 21, 2014
JOHNSTOWN — The Fulton-Montgomery Community College Board of Trustees unanimously approved the college's START-UP NY plan, which would establish tax-free zones for businesses within the region....

I live in New Mexico. Our state "runs" on welfare, oil and gas, mining, agriculture, and Federal Gov't. military bases and facilities. We basically have NO businesses that would want to relocate to NY or businesses that NYS would even want to have there. Yet on my TV every single day NYS pays for advertising promoting "Start-Up NY". What a waste of millions of taxpayer dollars!!!! Multiply that by 50 states! Whew.

I've played all the Paper Mario games but I've never liked one enough to beat it. I wish Nintendo would reunite with Square and produce a true sequel to Super Mario RPG, which is still one of my favorite Mario games AND RPG's of all time.
Looks like a return to the feel, setting, and aesthetic of the original Paper Mario, which I'm all for. Curious about the story and characters, though.

NEW YORK — The signs might be obvious, like a surge in the number of phone calls and e-mails from prospective customers. Or subtle — a staffer gets a job at a competing company because business is picking up throughout the industry.
Many small business owners are optimistic about 2011 not because of the economic reports that come out each month. They're getting the evidence from what's happening in their own businesses.
The holidays are usually a slow time for many public relations firms, including The Boreland Group. But owner Jennefer Witter had a surprising busy month. "Never had I had new business outreach in December," said Witter, whose company is based in New York. Another surprise: The inquiries came from a variety of businesses, including a construction firm, a non-profit group, a skin care company and a hedge fund.
PR agencies are often good indicators of how the economy is doing because marketing is one of the first budget items a customer cuts in tough times. It's also one of the first things customers think about when they're ready to start prospecting for new business again. "There's a lot of business planning for 2011," Witter said.
So instead of being off the last week of December, she spent the time writing marketing plans for prospective clients.
Jeanne Achille is also getting a surge in inquiries and requests for presentations from her PR firm, The Devon Group, based in Middletown, N.J. "We haven't seen this in at least two years," she said.
Not all her prospective clients are ready to sign contracts. But she says she's getting "sincere overtures." Some companies are saying, "we know we're going to do something. We don't know when," she said.
"But they absolutely have the budget dollars allocated" for marketing, Achille adds. "We're getting four and five really solid conversations a week. That's significant."
In an entirely different business, retailing, Renee Wood found December to be busier than expected too. Wood's firm, The Comfort Co., sells gifts and mementos for people who have lost loved ones. During the recession, she saw her sales fall as customers bought cheaper items. Instead of spending $45, she said, they tended to spend $35 or $25.
But during the summer, customers began spending more. "It did lead into a strong fourth quarter for us," Wood said. That included the company's best December ever.
Although there are some concerns that consumers may cut back their spending now that the holidays are over, Wood anticipates that January will also be a strong month. The fact is, the death rate goes up the first month of the year.
Lucy Siegel's PR firm is seeing a pickup in inquiries as well, including many from some unexpected places. "We're used to getting inquiries from Japan and Korea," said Siegel, president of New York-based Bridge Global Strategies. Suddenly, though, they've been coming from "places we've never gotten them from before," including Russia.
In the U.S., the company is hearing from startups. Many new firms can't afford to pay for marketing yet, "but the fact that we're getting these inquiries is encouraging," Siegel said. Siegel started her company in 2004 and "never had a down year until 2009," when business dropped 10 percent. It also fell about 8 percent in 2010.
Siegel points to another sign that business is getting better: People in public relations are finding new jobs. She just lost a long-time employee to another PR firm.
Janice Brown is also optimistic about 2011, even though she thinks "people are still a little bit on the cautious side."
Brown owns Chicago-based Tails Pet Media Group Inc., which publishes print and online magazines about pets, rescue and adoption in 17 cities. She has seen fewer commitments from national advertisers than she estimated, but "we still have many proposals pending — far more than last year at this time."
"We know that it'll pick up in February-March," Brown said, adding that "bigger companies take longer to come in."
Jack Kelly, who owns a Screenmobile franchise in Sarasota, Fla., saw his revenue from screen windows and doors cut in half during the past three years as the housing market plunged. He's cautiously optimistic now that the Republican Party will control the House of Representatives. He believes the change in Congress will help consumers feel more confident, which will in turn help energize the housing market.
"Before they start purchasing new homes and new condos ... they're going to begin the process of renovating so they can sell," he said. Right now, though, Kelly isn't having the busy season he should normally have during the winter, when the homeowners known as snowbirds arrive and spruce up their homes. But many people don't go to Florida until January, so he's hoping for an uptick then.

Last month, a California woman confronted her former middle school teacher about previous rape and sexual abuse then posted the conversation to YouTube. Now the Riverside County District Attorney's Office has brought 16 felony charges against her.
It all started when the 28-year-old called her former teacher, identified as Andrea Michelle Cardosa, and confronted her over alleged abuse that began when she was a 12-year-old student. Cardosa admits to it and says she regrets it.
Jamie posted the video to YouTube, and Cardosa, who was an assistant principal at Alhambra High School, resigned the same day. Another woman accused Cardosa several days later and filed a complaint against the school district.
CNN reports Cardosa was arrested Monday and charged with five counts of aggravated sexual assault on a child and 11 counts of lewd acts on a child under 14. Her bail was set at $5 million.
"We are planning on following up on the case by challenging the filing against the statute of limitations and challenging the bail motion to reduce the bail amount," said he attorney, Randy Collins.

Secret To Get Better and Fitter
What magic secret exercise or machine or supplement makes you fitter?
Fitness Fixer reader Jilly wrote in to ask:
" I am a 65 yr old woman and have no strength in my upper body; I cannot push myself up even by 1 inch but just lie floundering on the floor! How do I start rectifying this to be able to do even a straightforward push up?"
How to get better? Just like anything else, Try. Practice. The body responds. Work and you improve. Money should be that easy.
Remember that Olympic athletes are sore for days after workouts. They fall and fail thousands of times, get back up and work more. Like learning a language - start with nothing, and the more you work, the better you become.
Click the arrow to watch this short video that reminds what practice can achieve:
Everything is Possible - video powered by Metacafe
Retrain your body to move in natural ways, not just in one up/down or side-side motion of gym exercises. Use daily life as your built-in all day strengthener. That is the difference between "doing exercise" then going back to weak unhealthy life, and real healthy living. That is what Fitness Fixer is for.
- Start with What is "Fitness as a Lifestyle?"
- Get ideas with Fitness and Health as a Lifestyle for Thanksgiving and Bending Right is Fitness as a Lifestyle.
- Try Getting Stronger Without a Gym
- See how it all fits together in How Often Should You Be Healthy? and Household Fitness in the New Year. See a reader success movie in Cardiovascular Cleanup.

Letters to the editor: Dec. 12, 2007
Visionary move for FW
I read The Mirror periodically online to maintain connection with my home of more than 25 years.
Your recent story on the Celebration Park bonds (Dec. 1) was of great interest. The saga of that original land purchase is quite a story unto itself. It was a uniquely bold move for a brand new city, first discussed over a table at Dennys late one evening. Today, it remains the most controversial land purchase made by the city, and history shows just how wise that action was.
Lynn Templeton, Lynden, Wash.
Editors note: Templeton is a former Federal Way City Council member.
Media has gone too far
When has free speech and freedom of press gone too far? How many more mall, school, or other public shootings will it take before the media realizes they continue to play a pivotal role in the ongoing violence?
All too often, we hear of yet another mall, school or public shooting massacre. In the recent Omaha, Neb., mall shooting, the killer stated something to the effect of Im going to go out in style at least Ill be famous!
Well, he was right. The media gave him exactly what he wanted: Fame. They printed his picture, stated his name, interviewed his family and friends and will talk about him for years to come.
I believe the media needs to be more responsible in its reporting. Dont get me wrong, I believe in free speech, but enough is enough.
The media can still report on such an occurrence by simply stating an unnamed person went into such and such a place and committed this horrific act of violence. There is no need to print his or her name, show their face or give them any of what they were looking for notoriety.

1/2 ounce fish sauce
1/2 ounce sriracha
1/2 ounce lime juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic

2 carrots, sliced
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 star anise, chopped
2 cups water
1-1/2 cups cubed fresh Louisiana watermelon
2 cups canola oil
Optional garnish: Cilantro, carrot and diakon radish
For dressing, in a large bowl, combine all ingredients and whisk until blended. Refrigerate.
For pork belly, combine onions, carrots, garlic, star anise and water with pork belly on a 4-inch-deep baking sheet. Cover the top of the baking sheet with foil and bake at 200 degrees for 13 hours.
When complete, discard onions, carrots, garlic, star anise and water. Press the belly between two sheet pans (with weights, such as cans, on top) and chill for 4 hours or until firm. Cut into 1-ounce cubes and deep fry using the canola oil.
Toss pork belly cubes in soy-hoisin dressing and serve with chilled watermelon cubes.
Optional: Garnish with cilantro, carrot and diakon.

Click here to view or print the entire July report compliments of the ACRE Corporate Cabinet.
Athens/Limestone County area residential sales experienced its best month of July since 2007 improving 14.8 percent from the same period a year ago and 14 units above of our monthly forecast. The YTD sales forecast through July was 495 closed transactions while the actual sales were 547 units, representing a favorable 10.5 percent variance.
Supply: Athens/Limestone County housing inventory totaled 813 units, a decrease of 1.6 percent from July 2013. In contrast, July inventory was 5.7 percent above the prior month. This direction is consistent with historical data indicating that July inventory on average ('09-'13) increases from the month of June by .3 percent. The inventory-to-sales ratio in July was 8.0 months of housing supply. Restated, at the July sales pace, it would take 8.0 months to absorb the current inventory for sale. This is a decrease (favorable direction) of 14.2 percent from 9.4 months of supply in July 2013. The market equilibrium (balance between supply and demand) during the month of July is considered to be approximately 6 months so the market gradually marching toward greater balance is encouraging news.
Demand: Existing single family home sales accounted for 60 percent (down from 80% in July'13) of total sales and new homes sales accounted for 40 percent (up from 18% in July'13). Residential sales in July increased 26.3 percent with the prior month, consistent with typical seasonal buying patterns. Athens recent historical data associated with July sales, on average ('09-'13), increase from the month of June by 1.6 percent.
Pricing: The Athen/Limestone County area median sales price in July was $173,700, an improvement of 15.5 percent from last July. This figure also represents a 20.3 percent increase from the prior month. This direction contrast with historical seasonal data ('09-'13) reflecting that July median selling price typically decreases from the month of June by 4.4 percent.
Industry Perspective: "Housing data point to a continued but modest rebound in the housing market, in line with our prior forecast," said Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan. "Recent housing activity picked up seasonally as we expected, yet many indicators remain near or below the levels for the same period last year. For all of 2014, we continue to expect total home sales to decline about 2.0 percent and total mortgage originations to decline approximately 41.0 percent. We also expect total single-family mortgage debt outstanding to rise slightly this year before strengthening further in 2015." For full report, go HERE.

An Analysis of the Land Base Situation in the
United States: 1989-2040
A Supporting Technical Document to the 1989 RPA
In 1987, 1.5 billion acres, about 63% of the total land and inland water
area of the United States, was in forest and rangeland. Forest totals 32% and rangeland
totals 34% of the land area. Most of the Nation's forest and rangeland are in nonfederal
In 1987, about 1 billion acres or 67% of the total were owned by
nonfederal public agencies, forest industry, farmers and ranchers, and other private
individuals. The nonfederal forest lands are concentrated in the East, and private
rangelands are concentrated in the West. The federal lands are administered primarily by
two agencies - the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
Most of the Nation's high productivity forest lands are located west of
the Cascade Mountains in the Pacific Northwest Region and in the South Central Region. The
largest areas of highly productive sites are covered by coastal Douglas-fir and
hemlock-Sitka spruce types in the West, and loblolly-shortleaf pine and oak-gum-cypress
types in the East.
The North and the Great Plains
The 606.7 million acres of land in the North and Great Plains include
169.8 million acres of forest land, 28% of the total. Much of this forest land, especially
in the Northeast, lies close to densely populated areas and receives intense pressure from
a wide array of forest users.
The oak-hickory ecosystem is the largest in the area, with 47.8 million
acres of unreserved forest land, or 29% of the total. Maple-beech-birch is the second
largest with 43.4 million acres, followed by spruce-fir with 18.9 million acres,
aspen-birch with 17.9 million acres, white-red-jack pine with 13.5 million acres, and
elm-ash-cottonwood with 11.9 million acres.
Although there is much variation among states, about 80% of all
timberland in the North and Great Plains is held by private individuals or firms. Farmers
own more forest land than any other group of individual owners.
The area of timberland in New England and the Middle Atlantic states
increased steadily from 1952 to 1987. In the North Central Region and Great Plains Region,
trends are mixed. A total of 79 million acres in the North and Great Plains are classified
as rangeland, almost all in the Great Plains. Ninety-five percent of the rangeland is in
nonfederal ownership.
Water areas in the North and Great Plains total 57.8 million acres or
54% of the Nation's water. This is 8.7% of the land and water area of the two Regions.
The South
Forest land totals nearly 200 million acres or 38% of the total land
area. If the nontimbered western portion of Texas and Oklahoma are excluded, the
percentage of forest increases to 54%. The South's 62 million acres of pine forest
continue as a major source of softwood fiber for the world. About two-thirds of the pine
forest is natural in origin, with the remainder consisting of planted pine.
Loblolly-shortleaf pine is the South's most prevalent pine ecosystem,
accounting for three-fourths of the total pine forest or 46 million acres. Longleaf-slash
pine totals 16 million acres and the oak-pine type covers 28 million acres. Oak-hickory is
the South's most extensive ecosystem, covering 71 million acres. Bottomland hardwood types
cover 31 million acres.
Private owners control 90% of the timberland in the South, a total of
175 million acres. Nonindustrial private owners control 70% of the South's timberland, and
forest industry owners control 20%. The South has 116 million acres of rangeland, with 83%
in Texas and the remainder in Oklahoma and Florida. Water areas in the South cover 24
million acres, or 4% of the total area in the Region.
The Rocky Mountains
More than 138 million acres or about 25% of the land area are occupied
by forests, predominantly of softwood species. Five forest ecosystems totaling some 112
million acres make up about 80% of the forest land in the Rocky Mountain Region -
pinyon-juniper, Douglas-fir, fir-spruce, ponderosa pine, and lodgepole pine.
The ponderosa pine ecosystem covers about 16.5 million acres, nearly
half of which is in Arizona and New Mexico. Douglas-fir covers 17.9 million acres,
primarily in Idaho and Montana. Lodgepole pine covers 14.6 million acres, principally in
Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and central Colorado. Fir-spruce covers 16 million acres of
higher elevation sites in the region. Pinyon-juniper is a woodland ecosystem covering
about 47 million acres of dry plateaus and broken tablelands. Three-fourths of the forest
land in the Rocky Mountain region is publicly owned. Federal agencies, primarily the
Forest Service, administer 94 million acres or two-thirds of the total.
The total rangeland area, including pinyon-juniper and
chaparral-mountain scrub forests, is about 336 million acres, or 61% of the total land
base. The sagebrush type is the second largest range ecosystem in the United States, with
roughly 105 million acres occurring mostly in the Rocky Mountain Region. Other important
rangeland types include sagebrush, southwestern shrubsteppe, desert shrub, mountain
grasslands, and plains grasslands. About 167.4 million acres or 50% of the rangeland in
the Rocky Mountain Region are in public ownership, mostly in the care of the Bureau of
Land Management.
The Rocky Mountain Region has the smallest water area - roughly 6
million acres or 1% of the total geographic area.
The Pacific Coast
Forests cover 220 million acres or 39% of the land area of the Pacific
Coast states. This is 30% of all the forest land in the nation. Productive timberland
totals about 85 million acres and other forest land about 135 million acres. Douglas-fir,
the most important forest type in terms of timber production, covers about 21 million
acres. It is the major timber type in western Oregon and western Washington.
Fir-spruce is the most extensive forest type, covering about 116 million
acres, mostly in Alaska's interior. Hemlock-Sitka spruce covers about 16 million, 11
million of which are located in southeastern Alaska. The redwood type covers about 1.2
million acres in California. The ponderosa pine type cover about 14 million acres of the
Pacific Coast, and lodgepole pine covers about 3.6 million acres. The pinyon-juniper
woodland type cover about 5 million acres, and chaparral covers about 7.6 million acres,
mostly in the mediterranean climatic zone in California.
Of the 220 million acres of forest land in the 5-state area, 72 million
are privately owned. Of the 145 million acres in public ownership, 46 million acres are in
national forests and 99 million acres are held by various other public agencies. Ownership
of forest land in Alaska has changed dramatically in the last decade.
Alaska has about 173 million acres of rangeland, most of which is arctic
and alpine tundra. California, Oregon, and Washington together have about 68 million acres
of rangeland including 23 million acres of grassland and 45 million acres of shrubland.
The Pacific Coast states contain 20.1 million acres of water, much of which is in coastal
Projecting Land Cover and Use Changes
The total area of forest and rangeland is projected to increase about 2%
between 1987 and 2000, and then to decrease slightly by 2040. The area of forest land is
projected to decline over the projection period, decreasing by 4% by 2040. The projected
reduction in forest land area will result mainly from conversion to other land uses such
as reservoirs, urban expansion, highways, and surface mining.
The projected average annual reduction in United States forest area from
1987 to 2040, about 500,000 acres, is less than that for the period 1970 to 1987, which
averaged about 2 million acres per year. Approximately 40 to 45 million acres of highly
erodible land used currently for cropland are projected to be converted to grass cover or
trees under the Conservation Reserve Program by the year 2000.
In the North and Great Plains, forest and range area is projected to
decline. In the Rocky Mountains, total forest and range area is expected to increase by
about 15 million acres by 2040, mostly due to expansion of range area. In the Pacific
Coast, forest area is projected to drop by about 8 million acres and range area is
expected to drop by 9 million acres by 2040.

Last Month for the Final Five?
Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels and Carlos Ruiz are the only remaining players from the 2008 World Series championship roster, and this could be their final month together.
Click here to read what some of them said about it.
The Phillies are reluctant to trade Utley. I'm sure they would love him back next year. But you have to wonder if Utley, who will become a free agent after the season, will want to come back? Consider for a second if the Phillies trade Cliff Lee or Jonathan Papelbon or both. Say they trade Ruiz, etc. Will Utley believe this team can win in the near future? That is something the Phillies will have to consider as they approach the trade deadline. On the other hand, the Phillies are much more willing to trade Rollins. (You have to wonder how his comments Sunday that he wasn't disappointed at all with their 1-3 series against the Dodgers played in the clubhouse and front office.) But Rollins isn't nearly as easy to trade as Utley. Utley is a free agent after the season. He still is very productive offensively, when healthy. Rollins' productive has dropped this season, and he has $22 million remaining on his deal, if his 2015 option automatically vests based on plate appearances.
If either is traded, however, it will signal a clear and significant change within the organization and a considerable culture shift within the clubhouse.

Unless the Phillies trade Doofus Amaro, it won't matter what they do. He always comes up short on trades for position players. As such, any trade will weaken the team.
I agree – trading those players last year in what seemed like a blind panic really netted the team nothing. Howard's contract is the millstone around their neck, not Utley or even Rollins.
Folks it is time for a change! Nostalgia aside,this team as constructed will NEVER win another championship, they won't even make the playoffs. As much as I hate to see Ut go, he and Rollins and especially Howard should move on. We need to get some fresh,hungry young kids to start playing together and learn how to win. Just look at the Marlins, as pathetic as they were in April,& May they are now 17 and 10 over the last 27 games with young players. Keep the pitching and Ruiz let the other 3 go This is what we have to do now.
Dave, the problem with comparing the Marlins to the Phillies is that the Marlins have never gutted their farm system as Ruin has done to the Phillies' system. Do you really believe the Phillies can undo the damage by trading Rollins, Utley, Ruiz and Howard? The most the Phillies could expect by trading Howard is some salary relief.
pherris, they've "gutted" the farm system? I am still waiting to see a single player that the Phillies have traded in recent years make a dent in MLB. It's not like there was anything there to "gut". Most of the trades worked out, the team just had other issues, like some very poor free agent signings. I'll take the established veteran over a prospect every day.
Glavis, Hernandez, Ashe and Ruff. Those are the players we need to find out about. If this season gets any worse it will be time to bring them up and see what they have.
I would Keep Chooch too good a catcher to let go esp if the young guns are promoted.
I love it when people start using angry wording and expletives in their comments. It makes it easy to identify the educated folks from the common drab that is only talking emotionally without much context.
Anyways, I think they need to get rid of some of their big salary pieces and go back to basics. Get a few bad seasons under your belt, get some high picks in the draft, and draft well. The nationals got lucky with Harper and Strasburg so close together, that won't happen for the Phillies, but they brought up guys like Utley and Howard through their farm and they can do it again. It just takes time and, unfortunately, the Phillies fans have 0 patience.
I think you can hardly gather anyone's context from a few lines on a blog such as this. But to understand any Phillies fan's context you only need to learn something about Phillies' history rather than being so judgmental.
Howard needs to go first. He has seen his better days.
Rollins and Howard have nothing left to give to the team except occupying a spot that some younger talent could take. Trade both of them. But I agree… If Amaro doesn't go, then no improvement will be made.
just a question does a baseball team have any recourse against a bad umpire I have never seen so many bad calls as there is this year do umpires look at the film of a game to see their mistakes
I had to check the 2013 roster to see if Kyle Kendrick wasn't traded. I think Zo owes someone an apology (hint: he's probably wearing a big ring from 2008).
Kendrick wasn't on the postseason roster so technically the statement is accurate.
A better question is 'Who is not on the block?'
MY opinion is chase utley, jimmy rollins, and cliff lee will remain phillies. All the others are available.
That doesn't make sense. Those three players are among the least wanted Phillies by other clubs. Why would (blanket team) be interested in players that DOESN'T produce?
What type of prospects would you get back by trading Ryan Howard? Or Michael Young and his 16 mil contract? My guess is the returns are very slim.
Now, if even the "face of the franchise" Utley and Cliff Lee are made available, then you'd probably get some quality prospects in return.
Along about late July the callups will begin. For once and all Ruf will prove to be overmatched in MLB. Tommy Joe will stay down to learn baseball but will Kratz be healthy? Biddle will also stay down to finish the season. The scrubeenies will finish the season in 4th or 5th.
Let's find out if Ruf will be over matched, shall we?
Pingback: Rain, rain, go away | Cut the crusts off
It's time to get rid of 2 people, Charlie and Ruben. Ruben stunk as a player and he stinks as a GM. He inherited a team that made him look good and except for getting Halladay and Lee he hasn't done spit. As far as Charlie, he need to go because he doesn't seem to care if we win or loose. When was the last time he closed the club house, threw out the press and reamed the team a new butt. Throw a chair or two, raise your voice, they'll get the idea! These guys forget who pays there salary, THE FANS and it about time someone reminded them of it. And by the way, let Howard go as well, he is useless except to sell Subway Sandwiches.
I did not realize that Rollins had a vesting option for 2015. That was stupid, as it makes him untradeable unless they eat some contract.
Next year will be awlful for the Phils. They're getting rid of everybody, but they could get good players in return. They won't get good players in return.

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - NASA said today its Space Launch System has cleared its biggest technical hurdle en route to a 2017 launch by successfully completing a preliminary design review of the entire program. Engineers and experts from across NASA concluded Wednesday that the heavy lift booster's design, production and ground support plans are sound, and that means those major components are now basically locked in and moving forward. Read more about a PDR here.
SLS program managers also said today that a major rocket program reaching this milestone 20 months from getting started, as SLS has done, is "almost unprecedented" in NASA history. "This is the pace small satellites get reviewed at," Todd May, manager of the SLS Program at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, said today. Marshall is leading development of the system.
"From my perspective, you breathe a little bit...," May said. "I will tell you it is significant. And, yes, we all had smiles yesterday afternoon."
The review ends the initial design phase of the rocket. The next milestone is a decision point where NASA grants the program authority to move from design to implementation of the plan.
"It is a big relief for the team to get through a review and have confirmation from some pretty respected people around the country that you're doing a good job, that you have a good design," SLS Chief Engineer Garry Lyles said. "That means a lot to the team, so I expect the team to really be energized coming out of this."
The review process involved experts on 11 different teams who analyzed 200 different documents and reviewed 15 terabytes of data, NASA said. Contractors Boeing, Aerojet Rocketdyne and ATK Systems were also heavily involved.
May said all key individual components of the launch system have already passed preliminary design review and are moving ahead. This week's review was of the overall program and showed, in Lyles' words, "You're on the right path, you're on the right road, you're not in the ditch."
May also noted that "the first, full-sized barrel sections of one of the (fuel) tanks came off the welder" last week at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans. "That's a big accomplishment," May said. That finished aluminum alloy section - standing 22 feet tall and weighing 9,000 pounds - will be used for further testing of the construction system before actual flight hardware is built.
The Space Launch System will stand 321 feet tall when it launches in 2017, and its core section alone will be 200 feet tall. It will carry 154,000 pounds of cargo and have more than 8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff.

Auburn, N.Y. -- A Port Byron man has been charged with sex crimes against children under the age of 11 and a dog, the Auburn Police Department said Wednesday.
Stephan D. Lane, 29, of 8089 Barnes Road, was charged with first-degree criminal sex act, first degree sexual abuse, two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and sexual misconduct. Lane previously lived in the city of Auburn.
Police said Lane had sexual contact with a child younger than 11 on several occasions between August and October at a home in Auburn.
Lane also displayed adult sexual aids and masturbated in front of another child younger than 11 on several occasions between August and September in Auburn, police said. He is also accused of engaging in sexual conduct with a dog in front of that child.
Police said Lane knew the family of the children. Authorities first began investigating after one of the children involved told an adult family member who contacted police.
Cayuga County Child Protective Services were also involved in the investigation and the children are now safe.
Lane was arraigned in Auburn City Court and remanded without bail to the Cayuga County jail.

Survey question from Pew: "Poor people have hard lives because government benefits don't go far enough to help them live decently, or poor people have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything?"
Almost four out of five conservatives: Oh the poor, totally have it easy.
"Previously, [the Patent Office] helped the football team by giving them a monopoly on the word and promising to go after others who violated that monopoly. It won't any longer. Nonetheless, commentators continue to describe the situation in exactly the opposite way."
Recently I spent a week at a monastery. I didn't interact a lot with the monks—it's a cloistered community, and its members don't often come to the guesthouse area where I stayed. I saw them at church seven times a day; otherwise I was mostly alone, either walking the grounds or in my room reading or praying.
Reading, mostly.
After the PCUSA vote to divest from Caterpillar, Hewlett-Packard, and Motorola, numerous commentators have been happy not only to express their own opinions but to base them on their own facts.
A pet topic of mine is the tendency of some Christians to fixate on belief and its boundaries. You can't just state why you think belief in x, y, and z is important to Christian faith and life; you have to claim that those who believe x and y but not so much z are not real Christians. You can't just disagree with someone with a different view from yours; you have to stage an inquisition.
It frustrates me to see this all-belief-all-the-time orientation used to frame things as us real Christians vs. them fake ones. When people take a similar approach in drawing themselves outside the circle, it just makes me sad.
This week, I keep seeing this video everywhere (I think my H/T goes to Know More but it's hard to remember these days).
"When a teacher briefly focuses attention on a particular student, it comes with the heat and intensity of a spotlight. A moment the teacher barely remembers might stick with the student for years."
Debates about tax cuts often play out in pretty fuzzy terms. How do you feel about the role of government? What size tax burden feels fair to you? Which party is in power, and how trustworthy do its leaders look on television?
It's great that Mark Oppenheimer wrote about the Festival of Homiletics for the New York Times recently.
"This is not leadership. This is rape culture, abuse apology, and re-victimization under the guise of education and grace."

Published on June 17, 2014
Westisle Composite High School Principal Charles Murphy congratulates Sam Byrne and Krystal Woodside on being their school's top academic athletes for 2013-14.
ELMSDALE -- Kenan Wilkie shook his head and took on a slight shade of red when Westisle Composite High School's female athlete of the year, Mariah Wedge declared everyone knew Wilkie had the male athlete of the year award in the bag.
Now a three-time MVP on Westisle's men's basketball team, Wilkie plans to continue on in his chosen sport as a member of the UPEI basketball Panthers. The son of Wayne and Darcie Wilkie of Union, he has already picked his jersey number. It's 10, the same number he has on the P.E.I. provincial basketball team.
Wedge, the 18 year-old daughter of Randy and Carol Wedge of St. Louis, downplayed her selection as female athlete of the year, suggesting it was random, but her powerlifting coach, George Kinch begs to differ with her suggestion.
"I have seen no other student, past or present, with the drive and determination to put forth the effort needed to become the greatest in their sport and to not accept 'that's good enough,'" he told students and parents. Wedge's inner fortitude to break through barriers, assessed Kinch, allows her the natural ability to be a true leader.
Wedge is currently the holder of four records in P.E.I. School Athletic Association powerlifting and was a team captain for the sport. She was chosen women's powerlifting MVP and MVP forward in rugby. She also competed this year in track and triathlon.
Next year Wedge plans to enroll in the nursing program at UPEI and will try out for the Panthers' rugby team.
"With her demonstrated abilities to achieve at the elite level in both the classroom and the athletic arena I sincerely believe that Mariah Wedge is the epitome of what every coach strives to develop - an outstanding student-athlete," Kinch concluded.
Wedge called it an honour to follow in the footsteps of past female athlete of the year at Westisle. She was also one of 13 athletes to receive academic achievement awards.
Men's basketball coach Walter Davison said Wilkie set a school record in winning the MVP award for basketball three years in a row. He said Wilkie set the bar high in his first year at Westisle and has continually improved. He told of seeing Wilkie in the gym or weightroom every morning during the school year. "He's never content with the level he's at; he's looking to get better," Davison said of Wilkie, whom he described as a coach's dream. "He does the things that make him better."
Wilkie's father is a custodian at the high school, so, while father goes about his morning duties, the son heads to the gym or weight room.
"He's got a 'refuse to lose' attitude," said Davison. "He plays hard. It doesn't matter what he plays."
Besides basketball, Wilkie competed in badminton, soccer and track and field. He added a soccer MVP to his trophy haul.
Westisle won provincial championships this year in men's and women's powerlifting, men's volleyball and women's softball.

Sam Byrne and Krystal Woodside were named Westisle's top academic athletes.

Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video The Pen tool and the Paths panel, part of Photoshop CS5 One-on-One: Mastery.
- Overview
- Transcript
- View Offline
This chapter is all about the Pen tool and its ability to draw editable vector-based path outlines. This is the Pen tool right there. It's located along with the other vector-based tools inside of Photoshop including tools that we saw back in the Advanced portion of this series, that is, the Type and the Shape tools. We also have this Arrow tool right there which allows you to select path outlines. But we'll start off with the Pen tool and you can get the Pen tool by clicking on it or pressing the P key. Now, the great thing about the Pen tool is it allows you to draw precise outlines, which you can turn into either vector-based masks or selection outlines one point at a time.
So, you draw what are known as anchor points by either clicking or dragging with the tool and then Photoshop connects the points depending on how you create them with either straight or curving segments. Now, it is that Masking tool that we haven't seen so far because it allows you to draw very precise shape outlines. However, unlike the masking functions that we saw in the previous chapter, you are not using the image to select itself. Rather, you are manually selecting the image, again, one point at a time. Now, there is an exception. There is this Freeform Pen tool right here available from the Pen tool fly-out menu and you use it just like the Lasso tool.
You just drag around inside your image and you cross your fingers and hope for the best and Photoshop automatically creates the points and segments for you. I do not recommend it. I consider it to be largely a waste of time and therefore it does not allow you to fully exploit path outlines. Now, in this exercise I'll give you a basic rundown, a preview of what's going on with the Pen tool so you have a sense of what it's all about. Then, starting in the next exercise I'll show you how to actually draw with it. Now, once you've selected the Pen tool. I want you to go up to the Options Bar and make sure that the second icon in is selected.
This is the default setting, but it's important to make sure it's active. Because if the first item is selected, then you'll just go ahead and draw shape layers, which is not what you want. And those Shape layers will cover up the stuff you're trying to select. It's not useful to you at all. Rather, if you're drawing paths and you'll draw these path outlines that will populate here inside the Paths panel. All right, so here I am working inside this file called Two-image comp.psd. It's found inside the 27_pen_tool folder and it features just two photographs. One that's featured on the man layer which comes to us from Jason Stitt, and then we have the leaf player in the background from Victor Burnside, both associated with the Fotolia Image Library about which you can learn more at fotolia.com.
Let's say we want to select this man, we want to extract him from his white background. Well, that's not a terribly complicated mask as you might imagine. He is very dark skinned, he has on the dark sweater, he's set against a white background. How much easier could it be? I mean we have all the contrast in the world. Why resort to the Pen tool, which requires us to create a selection outline one point at a time and spend probably, where this image is concerned, once you come to terms with things, about 5-10 minutes, let's say. Well, the reason is because you can draw extremely accurate outlines and they will be absolutely smooth.
So, any time you have smooth contours in an image and you want to extract that image, the Pen tool is a great way to go because you're not going to have to apply any post selection processing. In other words, you are not going to have to visit the Refine Edge command in order to smooth out some of the pixel trash that you get with other masking techniques. The Pen tool is always going to deliver smooth results. So, it's not useful for hair I should say that, filigree details are not the Pen tool's strength, smooth contours are its strength. So, in other words faces, portrait shots are great as long as they don't involve hair.
If they do involve hair you can combine a hair mask along with the path outline and I'll show you what that looks like in a future exercise. But for faces or arms, legs, clothing, the Pen tool work great for product shots as well. So anything that's nice and smooth and that's sharply defined as well. Now, I've already drawn a path outline where this image is concerned. We will be tracing it but we need to develop a few skills first. So, I'll show you what I did in advance. Let's go ahead and switch over to the Paths panel and there you will find a path outline called manline.
If you click on it you'll see it. Now, it's kind of difficult to see it. It's very thin gray line, just slightly on the inside edge of the man's face. So, you can see that it's tracing down along his forehead, over along his ear, down his cheek and into his sweater as well. There are a couple of different ways we could now use this path outline in order to mask the layer. One way is to convert it to a vector mask and that way it remains an editable path outline that we can manipulate using one of the Arrow tools and that affords us an awful lot of control and it keep things nice and smooth.
So let's see that. I'll go over to the Layers panel with this path selected, I'll go over to the Layers panel and I would drop down to the bottom of the panel. You see this Add Layer Mask icon, you Ctrl+Click on it or Cmd+Click on that icon on the Mac and that converts the path outline to a vector mask as we're seeing right here. Then, if I click on that vector mask thumbnail to hide the path outline we can see that we have this very smooth transition right here. So, an incredibly accurate definition of this man's face and shoulder. So that's one way to work.
I'll go ahead and press Ctrl+Z, Cmd+ Z on the Mac so we can see the other way which is to go ahead and convert the path outline to a pixel-based mask. Then, you can combine it with a hair mask, you can add some blur if need be to account for softly focused edges, that kind of thing. So, I'll go back to the Paths panel and I'll just make sure that this path outline is selected, it is. Now, to convert it to a selection outline, because that's what we need to do in order to convert the path outline to pixels, because the selection outline is a pixel-based object inside of Photoshop.
Go ahead and press the Ctrl key or the Cmd key on the Mac and click on it. It's that simple, and that's the way it works when you are converting channels to selection outlines and layers to selection outlines and so on. So it's just a Ctrl+Click, a Cmd+Click on the Mac. Notice that not only gives us the marching ants out here in the Image window but it also deselects the path here in the Paths panel. Now, I'll switch back over to the Layers panel and instead of Ctrl+clicking on this icon or Cmd+Clicking on the Mac, I'll just click on it and we now have a pixel-based layer mask.
Those are your two options when you're working with a path outline. So, that's pretty much everything there is to know about the Pen tool inside of Photoshop except for how to use the darn thing. And I will begin to explain how that works in the next exercise.

AMHERST - Offering programs on topical issues is not new for the League of Women Voters of Amherst, but on Saturday in Framingham and March 12 in Hadley, the league is joining with its state cohorts to sponsor "Women's Health in the 21st Century: What We Need to Know."
The league has been studying health care for a long time, said Jackie Wolf, who is the chairwoman of the event.
Members wanted to offer an intensive forum on the topic that is "not a commercial forum. No one is selling."
She said the league wanted to provide an opportunity "for women to talk (directly) to the researchers."
They'll be able to ask questions at the panels and then choose a panelist after the program to be able to ask questions "in a more extensive manner."
She said the state league "is looking forward to seeing local leagues work with one another."
This is the most extensive program with which the Amherst league has been involved, Wolf said.
The panel in Framingham opens with Judy Norsigian, executive director of "Our Bodies Ourselves," talking on the "Impact of Media on Women's Health."
The program in Hadley ends with Joan Ditzion, founding member of Boston Women's Health Collective and co-author of all nine editions of Our Bodies, Ourselves" speaking on "Our Bodies Ourselves: Women Growing Older."
Wolf likes how those talks are bookends to the forum.
The league will be recording the programs so they will be available to local leagues. "I'm excited about this," Wolf said.
The programs are free; both begin at 9:30 a.m. with registration.
In Hadley, the program opens at the Wesley United Methodist Church with a introduction from State. Rep. Ellen Story, D-Amherst; and followed by panelists addressing "Why Should We Talk About Women's Health," "Vitamin D and Women's Health," "The Impact of Physical Activity on Women's Health" "More is not Always Better: Why Comparative Effective Research Should be Your Friend" "Lesbian & Transgender Health: Needs & Disparities in Care" followed by Ditzion's talk.
Besides looking at the media, the panel Saturday in Framingham at McPherson Hall in the Medical Arts Building at the MetroWest Medical Center, panels examine "Disparities in Access and Treatment" and "Mental Health Issues for Women."

Children from the Volunteers of America Greater New Orleans' Lighthouse Summer Program at Alice Harte in Algiers recently visited Stoney Point Farm to harvest fresh fruits and vegetables and used them to make a delicious and healthy snack.
The partnership between Volunteers of America and Stoney Point Farm supports the "Farm to School" initiative to provide local, organically grown produce for schools and summer camps that participate in the Volunteers of America Fresh Food Factor food service program. Stoney Point Farm has also designated two acres of farmland to grow produce for the Fresh Food Factor program.
The Lighthouse Summer Program provides students with extra attention in both academic and extracurricular activities during summer break. While picking tomatoes and cucumbers fresh off the vine, the children were taught about the importance of local farming from the farm's owner Tim Roper, a Marine veteran.
