Constructor can mean:
- Type constructor
- Data constructor
1 Type constructor
A type constructor is used to construct new types from given ones.
illustrates how to define a data type with type constructors (and data constructors at the same time). The type constructor is named
data Tree a = Tip | Node a (Tree a) (Tree a)
, but a tree of what? Of any specific type
, be it
, or even
Maybe String
, in which case it will be a tree of tree of
Tree b
. The data type is polymorphic (and
is a type variable that is to be substituted by a specific type). So when used, the values will have types like
Tree Int
Tree (Tree Boolean)
2 Data constructor
A data constructor groups values together and tags alternatives in an algebraic data type,
where there are two data constructors,
data Tree a = Tip | Node a (Tree a) (Tree a)
. Any value that belongs to the type
(I'm happy leaving the type parameter unspecified) will be a constructed by either
Tree a
is a constructor alright, but it groups no value whatsoever, that is, it's a nullary constructor. There can be only one value that will have this constructor, also conveniently denoted
. So nullary constructors contain no data apart from its name! For example, the
data type is defined to be
data Bool = True | False
and for all practical purposes you can just think of them as constants belonging to a type.On the other hand,
contains other data. The types of those data are its parameters. The first one has type
, so it's just a value of the parameter type
. This one is the value the tree node holds in it. The remaining two are the branches. Each of them have type
, naturally.
Tree a
2.1 Data constructors as first class valuesData constructors are first class values in Haskell and actually have a type. For instance, the type of the
constructor of the
data type is:
Left :: forall b a. a -> Either a b
As first class values, they may be passed to functions, held in a list, be data elements of other algebraic data types and so forth.
2.2 Data constructors are not typesAs discussed above, they denote values. It is illegal to write
there, because the type is
Node a (Node a) (Node a)
, not
3 Deconstructing data constructors
All a data constructor does is holding values together. But you want to separate them if you want to use them. This is done via pattern matching,
So, the depth of a tip is zero. The depth of a node depends on its branches, but not its content. See how the constructor in the left hand side names its parts? we don't need the content so we don't name it (using
depth Tip = 0 depth (Node _ l r) = 1 + max (depth l) (depth r)
). The left branch is named
, the right
, allowing us to use these values in the right hand side.
4 Notes and tips
- You can declare a constructor (for both type and data) to be an infix operator, and this can make your code a lot more readable. However, for alphanumeric names, the names of both the type constructor and the data constructor(s) must start with an uppercase letter.
- Tuples are a built in feature of the syntax but are plain old algebraic data types! They have only one constructor though. Having the same name as their types (don't freak out, it's just a matter of convenience, as the type constructors and the data constructors have separate namespaces). So, is really a value of the form(4, True)having the type(,) 4 True, which, too, is written conveniently as(,) Int Boolto make it more readable. Incidentally, the empty tuple type(Int, Bool)with its only value()is used throughout, and is called unit.()
- You can, in fact, name the values grouped together, using the record syntax, so that for a person
data Person = Person { name :: String, age :: Int, address :: String }, you can saypto select his/her age, without resorting to pattern matching.age p
- Sometimes you need a little editting or checking when constructing your data. If you do, check smart constructors
- Sometimes you do not want the user of your library to group arbitrary values together. This is achieved by hiding your constructor (not mentioning it in the export list of the module), creating an abstract data type as a result. Along with smart constructors mentioned above, one can achieve encapsulation.

- Subject lines lacked A/B testing, and messaging needed to be more compelling.
- Tele-qualification needed to respond more quickly and adequately to all responders.
- Clicks went to content and subsequent actions that required 10 steps to convert, an overly complicated process.

However when I removed my pieces, the reds were dull? As were some of the other colors( aquamarine, celedon) except not as bad. Used Standard #1194- bright red gloss, dipped one time. Hints to problem? I have attached some pictures of the reds. Can I refire them? If so, what is the best procedure?

10 Tiresome Phrases That Bore Hiring Managers
December 12, 2013
Ensure you're presenting yourself in a distinguishable way by omitting these 10 overused phrases in your resume.
By Jessica Holbrook Hernandez,
Expert Resume Writer
Lately I've noticed a trend—the use of phrases that have been creeping their way into resume career summaries and just killing any chances candidates have of presenting any individuality or distinctiveness. Isn't the goal of a resume to set you apart from your competition? Shouldn't it present you as uniquely qualified and unmatched compared to rival job seekers?
Let me tell you something: You are an exceptional individual. There is no one else on this planet just like you. You deserve a resume that proclaims your incomparable talents, achievements, and expertise. Your resume is the chief evangelist of your career and best instrument for securing employment. So please, take care to ensure that you're presenting yourself in a distinguishable and favorable way.
Phrases to eliminate
I encourage you to review your resume (especially the career summary—where these phrases so often appear), and eliminate any instances of these worn-out phrases that dull the shine of your individuality.
Demonstrated excellence
Proven ability to
Accomplished professional—or any statement that includes professional
Demonstrated success driving results and hitting goals in challenging environments
Confident leader
Uniquely skilled at
Team player
Able to exceed in fast-paced environments
Works well independently or with a team
Excellent communicator (or its counterpart: Excellent verbal and written communication skills)
Results-oriented, results-driven, or proven ability to deliver results
Replace with facts or figures
The list above actually contains more than 10, but once I got started, I got a little carried away. The point is, most of these are such blanket statements they fail to substantiate your value to potential employers. Whenever you're tempted to utilize one of these vague statements, try replacing it with a fact or figure unique to you. Here are some examples:
Instead of saying accomplished professional—use the actual job title you're targeting: Customer Service Manager, Project Manager, or Chief Executive Officer, for example.
Instead of saying demonstrated success or demonstrated excellence—prove you've been successful by articulating it. If you led a team of 200+ customer service representatives to exceed their quota by 20 percent—bringing in an extra $5 million in revenue—use that instead! See how specific that information is to you? And how it speaks to your success? It tells me you're a great leader and that you drive strong financial gains. But it tells me in a very specific way, without making a vague statement such as: drives strong and sustainable financial gains.
Confident leaders don't have to state they're confident. If you're a confident leader, use facts and figures that highlight your results to show me how you've exuded confidence to your team.
Most of us are already team players and strong communicators thriving in fast-paced environments. Employers don't assume you're not a team player or a great communicator because you didn't write this on your resume. They'll interview you and determine your communication skills at that time. They'll ask you specific questions about how you functioned within a team, the role you played, and the outcome of a project to ascertain your ability to be a part of the team. Use examples, facts, and figures to be more specific and set yourself apart.
Try to avoid using the word: results. If you ever feel tempted to use this word on your resume, ask yourself: What was that result exactly? Then write about what you delivered instead of just the word. Think in terms of outcomes; this will help you to write about facts and figures as opposed to generalities.
No other candidate will have your exact set of experiences. Use this to your advantage, and be exact; prove yourself with examples and metrics whenever possible.
Upload your resume
and have employers find you!

SAN BERNARDINO -- Taylor Statham never liked taking a charge, something his father Derek often teased him about. However, he did so one day while playing at Westwind Prep in Phoenix.
Taking a knee to the groin was painful, but it ended up saving his life. Just 18 years old at the time, Statham was diagnosed with testicular cancer. He underwent surgery and chemotherapy.
Two years later, he's healthy and back on the basketball court, this time playing for NCAA Division II Cal State San Bernardino. The experience taught him not to take anything for granted.
"The doctor didn't have a great bedside manner. He was pretty blunt. He came right out and told me I had cancer," Statham said. "I'm thinking, `What do you mean cancer? I'm 18 years old.' It was like someone punched me in the gut."
Statham, now 20, graduated from Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita. He transferred from Hart High during his sophomore year, so he was not eligible to play as a junior. He also had a major growth spurt, so he and his parents thought prep school was a better option than a four-year or community college.
The player that rammed into him during that November scrimmage was his roommate at the time - Dushon Carter.
Statham took a few minutes to collect himself, but returned to practice drills right away, so no one thought anything of it.
When the pain failed to subside a month or so later, his parents finally persuaded him to see a doctor. He was sent to the hospital immediately for further tests.
The fact Statham didn't miss a practice or complain about being injured is a testament to his toughness.
"He has a pain threshold that I certainly don't have," said Scott Lovely, then the coach at Westwind Prep. "We had no idea anything was wrong because he never said anything. He is probably the toughest kid I have ever coached."
Statham's mother Marty recalls hearing the news every parent dreads.
"It was just disbelief. His father and I are both healthy. Our parents are healthy," she said. "As a parent, you'd rather go through it than see your child have to suffer."
Statham was initially told he wouldn't need chemotherapy, but tests shortly after the surgery proved otherwise. Not only did he need one round, he needed a second.
Being hooked up to an IV six hours a day, five days a week took its toll physically and psychologically, but Statham took that in stride too.
"Any time I wanted to feel sorry for myself, I just looked around at the children there going through it. That was really the hardest part," he said.
Yet Statham practiced when he could and played when he could.
He wasn't about to have his dream of playing college basketball derailed. He drew a lot of interest, some from Division I schools including Pepperdine and Fresno State, but that interest waned after he became ill.
Statham, who is majoring in business, contacted a handful of schools and asked about open tryouts. California Baptist and Cal State San Bernardino were among those.
He chose Cal Baptist because the Riverside school offered a full scholarship, something none of the others could. The treatment for cancer was costly, so Statham didn't want his parents to foot the bill for school as well.
He played little during the 2011-12 season, averaging 4.2 minutes and playing in just 14 of 26 games for the Lancers. He felt he deserved more and wanted to look elsewhere. The school granted him a release so he didn't have to sit out a year.
Cal State coach Jeff Oliver was glad to welcome the 6-foot-6 guard to the fold. Statham is the only sophomore on the active roster.
"I liked him when I saw him the first time," Oliver said. "He does some things well but also has some limitations. If he gets in the weight room and works on getting stronger, he's going to be an important player for us moving forward."
Statham's playing time with the Coyotes (18-7), who are ranked sixth in the West Region, has been sporadic as well. He has played as few as three minutes in some games and as many as 25. Statham started seven of the first eight games, four of those starts coming when senior forward Kwame Alexander was ineligible.
Perhaps his biggest moment came in an 84-82 overtime victory against Cal State Monterey Bay at Coussoulis Arena on Feb. 22. He scored 10 points and made a 3-pointer that tied the score at 82 with a minute left in overtime. He also had a basket with 5:49 left in regulation that cut Cal State's deficit to 63-56 and helped the Coyotes rally from 20 points down.
Unlike at Cal Baptist, he feels his time is coming.
"We have a lot of really good players and I just try and contribute when I am in there," he said. "This is a different situation. At Cal Baptist I really thought I deserved more time."
Statham understands fate has a way of intervening. The cancer he had was a malignant, aggressive form, and doctors say it probably wouldn't have been caught had he not had a reason to see a doctor when he did.
"I was very lucky they caught it when they did," he said. "It goes to show everything does happen for a reason."
His parents and younger brother Hunter, a sophomore at Golden Valley, are thankful the ordeal is behind them."
"It might not be the only charge he'll ever take," Derek Stratham said. "But it will definitely be the most important."

Wearing perfume? You're not allowed in here
Wearing perfume or after-shave? You're not allowed in here.
That's the message some government offices and hospitals are giving visitors.
Tuttle, Okla., warns on its website and in signs that visitors to City Hall must "remain at the front of the building" if they're wearing fragrances. "Every now and then, you get some people who think it's stupid," says City Manager Tim Young, but fragrance-free air is a relief for allergy sufferers.
Portland, Ore., banned fragrance use by city workers last year and asked custodians to use unscented cleaning products.
Lancaster, Pa., allergist Clark Kaufman says fragrances can trigger reactions in people with underlying allergies, asthma and other conditions and lead to respiratory infections. "I equate it with cigarette smoke," he says.
Elena Solovyov of the International Fragrance Association says industry statistics show "a growing trend" of scent use in hospitals and hospitality businesses. The industry group believes fragrance use "should be guided by personal courtesy and common sense, not by policies or procedures," she says.
•Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton, Wash., asks employees and visitors to skip scents and suggests that visitors choose "less fragrant" flowers, spokeswoman Jacquie Goodwill says.
•The parks and recreation department in Jefferson City, Mo., asks people attending meetings and programs to "remain as fragrance-free as possible," says parks director Bill Lockwood.
•Windom Area Hospital in Windom, Minn., has been fragrance-free since 1999. "At first there was some grumbling," human resources director Katie Slette says. "Now it's our new normal."

Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69
A third party security audit is the IT equivalent of a colonoscopy. It's long, intrusive, very uncomfortable, and when it's done, you'll have seen things you really didn't want to see, and you'll never forget that you've had one.

Hi, I'm looking for gyms and academies for MMA which have a lead to Cage fight shows. I'm training hard to make myself succesful career in this kind of sport.
Hi, I'm looking for gyms and academies for MMA which have a lead to Cage fight shows. I'm training hard to make myself succesful career in this kind of sport.
First things first, you need to get down sports direct and purchase at least 10 tapout t-shirts. Tell them you are a fighter at the till and they will probably give you discount bro
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
Im not here for a fun..Im looking for serious gyms, where trained Pro level fighters..
Just show up at a local gym; ask to talk to the coach and find out what shows people who train there have fought on, how recently and how they did. The research those shows/ tournaments etc That's the easiest way to find out if a place is bona fide or not
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with
In Southampton, you have lumpini which has good thai guys and a decent growing BJJ team under the guidance of Nick Brooks. I trained some BJJ there this weekend, real good guys.
In Portsmouth you have Gym01. If you are looking for a gym with decent, top level mma fighters, they will be your best bet. Great facilities and they run their own very good show Shock n Awe too
You're a prob a troll but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt in my response :-)
To be fair, I might have misjudged this guy and it may be appropriate for me to apologise. Instead of that, I will give some extra advice, a real tip that make sure any aspiring fighter gets off to a strong start.
Keep a low profile when you look round the local gyms. When you decide on a club, you want everyone to know not to mess you about. Before you start training, go along to watch a class.
Wait til the instructor is talking through a point of detail, so it's nice and quiet, then jump up and hit the nearest heavy bag with 10-15 of your hardest strikes. stare out anyone from the class who looks at you, then laugh and walk out, saying 'that's how it's done fellas, see you next Tuesday.'
'Go read a fucking book, you piece of shit.'
And don't forget to bang bro

OffBEAT with Twenty One Pilots
Listen to Twenty One Pilots on iHeartRadio
Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun know how to deliver energetic music as Twenty One Pilots. They recently released their debut album Vessel, and their song "Holding On To You" is climbing the charts with the music video topping 600,000 views on YouTube (and counting).
Buy the debut album Vessel at Amazon MP3
The up-and-coming duo stopped by iHeartRadio recently, where they talked about weird dreams, facial hair, ukuleles, their hip-hop alter egos and more. Get to know Tyler and Josh beyond the music in OffBEAT with Twenty One Pilots.
How are you like 80-year-old men?
Josh: Yeah, we both love candles, and also, I think I speak for both of us. We never know where we are.
Do you dream differently when you're on the road versus when you're at home?
Josh: I think, you know, I just remembered, I think last night I had a dream that, um, I wore a bra. And like, I was embarrassed about it, and that's all I remember from that dream. But I don't know, a lot of times I don't even remember my dreams, even when I'm home.
Josh: Yeah.
iHeartRadio: What's the weirdest dream you've ever had in the van?
Josh: You told me about that, I think I remember.
Josh: Yeah! Oh yeah, you did tell me about that.
Josh: Yeah.
iHeartRadio: Do you paint?
Josh: No!
Josh: Which is why he told me that I sucked. He's a true friend! He'll be honest.
When do you struggle to find joy?
Josh: No, I feel the same. There are times where it's really good to be alone, and there's times where it's really bad to be alone. Because you kind of get to a point where you're trapped with your thoughts. And sometimes that's good, because you need to deal with it, and sometimes that cannot be good. And, it's usually if we're home for an extended period of time. It's great to kind of like just go, you know, unwind and be alone. And then usually for me, after like a week it's like, oh gosh, I want to go back out on the road and play and be with my friends.
What would be your ultimate rap stage names?
Josh: Terri. Yeah, that would be my rap stage name. Although, I kind of like the spelling, like Hary but with a T. So it would be T-A-R-Y. Or it could just be T-A-R-I.
iHeartRadio: Would you wear pants on stage or would you not wear pants? Or would you wear crazy pants?
Josh: Maybe wrapped around his head.
Josh: The whole time.
If you had to write Odes to each other, what would they be about?
Josh: I appreciate that!
iHeartRadio: So you'd be sad if he ever shaved it?
Josh: It's not that great of a beard though it doesn't really connect that well.
Josh: If it did connect, it would be like everybody else's beard, and you know, everybody does that. It's kind of like I have two mutton chops that kind of like, accidentally go into a goatee or something. For
iHeartRadio: Does your Ukulele have a name?
Josh: They liked that a lot.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by Cbz40, Dec 10, 2006.
why be uspet when you're going home to your million dollar house?
A true play off contender doesn't give up 40 something points at home with three games left in the season, they really disappointed tonight!
This team has holes in it and we were exposed...my main concern after this game is that other teams will kill us with it as well.
I have serious doubts about facing Vick and the Falcons now.
This isn't good for our chances...I can see the NFC East slipping away now.
We lose next week and either Philly or New York win...we are scrambling to get a wild-card.
2 times this season we have had national games at night at home and have gotten blasted....That's not good. These show down games are important not only for the team record but for thier confidence.
These kind of games you need to show up and play tough and we did not...wether it was the coaching, players or whatever...this team is missing something...
I'm sick of our safeties looking like crap in pass coverage.
No more excuses man!
still crying about the onside kick?
This game was NO FLUKE...
The Redskins game was a fluke...
This game was an example of a coach, Sean Payton, knowing EXACTLY what he was doing, and Bill Parcells and Mike Zimmer absolutely clueless what to do...
The Saints EXPOSED the weaknesses of Dallas that many of us already were saying would be the achilles heel...
The point, Rack, is that Dallas has been all over the media as the "next big thing" and the team you say is a "fluke" didn't beat us in a "fluke" way. They beat the crap out of us. If anyone got a bunch of flukey breaks in this game it was Dallas, not the Saints.
But I'm not gonna try and talk you into seeing it for what it is any more. You can believe it was a "fluke" if you want to, but I believe New Orleans beat Dallas soundly in every single facet of the game.
Thank you for proving the point. Do grow up just a little teenie weenie bit before bedtime.
coming from a snot nosed kid that meant so much.
We got our butts kicked at every level. Still, it's only one loss and we are still in first place in our division. If we meet them in the playoffs, we will definitely come to play and I guarantee it will be a different story.
LOL, and an aging has been that takes the time to insult a snot nosed kid is such a great position for you to be in.
wow, internet tough guy that cries about the other team running up the score.
Tempers are really starting to flare up in here.
Will I get flamed for pointing out that it's better just to step away from the keyboard and remember that we all still pull for the same team? The infractions are gonna flow like water if we don't.
If Dallas takes some time to evaluate a game plan and shore up the coverages they ahve a fighting chance. I hope that opportunity does happen.
hell I'm a grandfather, I've already aged.
Maybe, but Roy took crap angles ALL NIGHT LONG and tackled like he had flippers instead of arms. I don't recall a worse game from him. He personally failed to stop 3 different TD's. He truly sucked tonight no matter the play calling.
Payton laid all his cards on the table. I don't blame him. We just won't take him and all our castoffs lightly next time.
Where did the Saints fans store all those bags they've been wearing over their heads the last few years. They need to pass them on to us.
They gave them to the Dallas defense so they wouldn't hyperventilate.
That's the best play call that I've heard all night (lessn's you aren't a Nwerlans fan)
goodnight on this most missarable of evenings

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
The public bathroom is rarely a place to marvel. This one, however, has been modernized to fit its museum location. The sinks are sleek steel faucets that drip water onto a slab of pearly white marble. The water then disappears into an invisible drain, much like a water fountain. The bathroom walls and floors are made out of Formica, and the toilets flush themselves. At the far end of the bathroom is a frosty glass door, but it's suspected that it is not a magical portal, though it is a little mesmerizing.
The term Renaissance man was invented to describe guys who have so much more going on than the rest of us. Guys so engaged with the world around them that you wonder how they do it all with just 24 hours a day. Guys like Timothy Leistner. Sometimes it seems the Toledo-born Leistner has a finger in every pie. He has a wall full of degrees, including a bachelor's from Ohio University and a master's and a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University, all put to use in his current job teaching at United Cerebral Palsy. He has also taught art privately and currently teaches evenings at the university level, and he recently collaborated with another artist on a series of storytelling workshops for children. When he's not teaching, he's participating in exhibitions from Fort Lauderdale to Fort Pierce, racking up awards in the process. Even when his own work — oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, mixed-media sculptures, and photography — isn't included in a given show (which is rare), he shows up at openings in support of his fellow artists, many of whom he mentors. Did we mention that he has his own little commercial gallery in Dania Beach, the better to showcase artists he believes in? Hey, ease up, Tim; you're making the rest of us look like slackers.
The Caldwell's Clybourne Park cast was an embarrassment of riches, chockablock with so much A-list local talent that it almost didn't know what to do with all of it. The play looked at the shifting tides of racism in two acts separated by a generation of time, a conceit that gave the seven-piece cast 14 characters to portray. The ensemble included Gregg Weiner, imposing as ever as a bespectacled, overtly racist stuffed suit turned frustrated Everyman; Cliff Burgess as a boisterous reverend turned gay realtor; Margery Lowe as a deaf-mute housewife turned politically correct liberal mouthpiece; Karen Stephens as an obedient housemaid turned homeowner in "postracial" America; and Kenneth Kay as an American Dream-embodying 1950s nuclear dad turned modern-day construction worker. In a play about hidden bigotry and racial discord, the cast was nothing less than unified, harmonious in their characters' un-P.C. squabbles.
Who is Elvire Emanuelle? The young Virginia Commonwealth University grad who studied acting with Richard Zavaglia stunned audiences at the Women's Theatre Project, more than holding her own against South Florida acting heavyweights such as Lela Elam and Karen Stephens. Set against the ruthless backdrop of Liberian civil war, Emanuelle portrayed a 15-year-old captive — the initially helpless fourth "wife" of a rebel officer — who develops the capacity to kill, over the play's grim and exhausting duration. Her character is the crux of the play's unsettling commentary on the human capacity for violence, and her transformation brings the playwright's frightening ideas to vivid fruition.
The Mosaic Theatre turned 10 this past season, and what a birthday celebration it's been. In early 2010, the theater suffered a rare misfire in the form of the musical Make Me a Song: The Music of William Finn. Since then, it has been one winner after another, like Dying City, the South African diamond-diving drama Groundswell, the energetic and absurdist hilarity of Completely Hollywood, the witty and moving award contender Collected Stories, and the uproarious ensemble piece The Irish Curse. The latter broke attendance records for the theater and prompted the playwright, Martin Casella, to book a flight down here to see it. With Dusk Rings a Bell, the latest from The Laramie Project's Stephen Belber, and Sam Shepard's newest work Ages of the Moon this summer, Broward County's most provocative theater shows no signs of resting.
When Christopher Shinn's Dying City — a difficult and sobering triangle among the widow of an Iraq War veteran, the dead soldier himself, and the soldier's identical twin brother — debuted at Mosaic Theatre last spring, audiences and critics were divided over the source material. It wasn't exactly a fun, joyous night at the theater, and some found the material heavy-handed. But there was something of a consensus when it came to the production itself, which artistic director Richard Jay Simon handled with tenderness, sensitivity, and palm-sweating intensity. Erin Joy Schmidt and Ricky Waugh both spelunked their characters to previously unseen dramatic depths, and Mosaic's technical team created authentic ambiance all around the elegant set.

"Moral" is defined as "concerned with the principles of right and wrong behavior and the goodness or badness of human character." I think most of us can agree that there are right and wrong ways to behave and that humans can demonstrate both good and bad character. So, on the issue of abortion—and the issue of defending human life in general—what is the moral position to take?
First, in order to come to any sort of moral conclusion in the matter, we need to make a basic assumption that this article is predicated on: we're talking about human lives. You can't argue against my conclusions on the basis that an unborn child isn't a unique, living human being. We're already assuming that based on the Scientific Basis for Defending All Human Life. If you don't believe that an unborn child is a human being, you have an issue with science and morality, but you may need to resolve your science first.
Next, let's ask and answer four questions. 1) What is the result of declaring certain classes of humans as "less" than others? 2) We all agree that Hitler's genocide of the Jews was wrong and immoral. How does this relate to abortion? 4) Is it actually wrong to fail to stand up for innocent lives? 5) What should good moral character compel me to do?

LORTON, Va. - The University of Pennsylvania shot the low team round in Sunday's final round at the season-opening Patriot Intercollegiate. As a result, the Quakers finished fourth out of 11 teams in the field. The tournament took place at the par-71 Laurel Hills Golf Course.
After shooting 298-291 on Saturday, Penn shot 288 on Sunday which was the best team score by two strokes. The Quakers' 877 was good for fourth place, just behind Christopher Newport (876) and well ahead of fifth-place Hofstra (888). Marshall won the team title, shooting 287-284-290--861 to finish 11 strokes ahead of second-place Columbia (298-284-290--872).
Individually, junior Austin Powell was Penn's low scorer for the tournament. He fired 73-68-72--213 to finish the tournament at even par and tie for fourth among 64 golfers.
Freshman Dane Walton made an impression in his collegiate debut, carding 71-77-70--218 and tying for 11th overall. Junior Ben Cooley (75-71-73--219 tied for 14th, while freshman Matt Kern (79-75-73--227) tied for 33rd. The final player in Penn's lineup was Tomas Agrest (86-78-79--243). Sophomore Patrick O'Leary was in the field playing as an individual and ended up tied for 38th (79-71-79--229).
Marshall Clarke Robinson won medalist honors, firing a final-round 66 to finish the event at 3-under-par 210. That put him one stroke ahead of George Mason's Mark Folkwein and two strokes ahead of Columbia's Harrison Shih.
Penn returns to tournament action this weekend, traveling to Yale to participate in the annual Macdonald Cup Friday through Sunday.

|Height & Weight:

2009 NFL Combine Results
|40-Yard Dash
2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Domonique Johnson, CB, Jackson State
Johnson was originally recruited to Missouri in 2004. He went on to play as a redshirt freshman in 2005. Johnson started two of twelve games for the Tigers in 2005, recording 35 tackles, two passes broken and returned five kickoffs for 77 yards. He then started four of the seven games he played for the Tigers in 2006, but he had only 17 tackles with three passes broken up. He also recorded his first (two) interceptions. He was benched for four games for undisclosed reasons, most likely disciplinary issues. Following the 2006 campaign, he transferred to Jackson State where he played in all of the team's twelve games registering 22 tackles, 14 passes broken up and five interception. One was returned for a TD. Extremely fast (Johnson had been clocked at 4.35, but is now at 4.40). He has the frame to add a couple of pounds. Is a willing tackle (which is a very rare trait from a cornerback at this stage of their development). Is very intelligent. Covers well, but not great. Moves hips very well. Backpedaling needs work. Was a start at Jackson State. Needs to improve technique. Johnson was a man against boys last season. He has the body to play corner, but some scouts believe his best position is at safety. It would be very interesting to see him at the post season games playing against top competition. Nevertheless, as of today, he is a surely second to third rounder.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- Ohioans can now check to see if phone numbers, e-mail addresses or screen names belong to registered sex offenders. It's a new feature of the state's sex offender online database.
"Ohio is one of eight states with this search capability and we encourage people to use it," said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
The database has always allowed people to search for sex offenders near an address or by name.
If the phone number, e-mail address, or screen name come up with a match the user is directed to call their local county sheriff's office or the Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification.
Sex offenders are required to register their home and work addresses, phone numbers, e-mail addresses and screen names with their local county sheriffs' offices.
"You can find this new reverse-lookup tool on the Ohio Attorney General's web page or any local sheriff's site in Ohio.
DeWine thinks it will be especially helpful for parents who find unknown phone numbers on their child's cell phone or e-mail in box.

Taliban frees U.S. hostage held since 2009
(NEWSER) – Bowe Bergdahl is finally coming home. The Taliban freed the American soldier it has held hostage for five years, and he is now in US custody, reports the AP. The Idaho native went missing on June 30, 2009, in southeast Afghanistan, and had been the only US soldier held captive in the country. The Army sergeant was released as part of a deal brokered by Qatar that also freed five detainees at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, reports the Washington Post. US officials say the 28-year-old is in good health and able to walk.

BC men draw 1-1 with Mount Olive on SundaySeptember 5, 2010
Brevard, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team squared off with Conference Carolinas opponent Mount Olive College on Sunday afternoon. Despite taking an early 1-0 lead the Tornados weren't able to hold onto the win as Mount Olive scored in the final minute to tie the match 1-1, which held up as the final tally.
The Tornados (0-2-1) were flying out of the gate and scored on their third shot of the game when Jami Uuttu (Naantali, Finland) netted one at the 11:08 mark on his fifth shot of the season. It was Uuttu's first goal and Jaime Villacis (Miami, Fl.) set up the freshman with his first assist of the season.
The Tornados continued to fight through the first half and held onto their lead heading into the second half and things seemed to be on the up-and-up until just under one minute left in play.
Mount Olive was awarded a free kick following a Brevard College foul with just 42 seconds left in regulation time and John Mendoza put one out of reach of Jack Shaw (Simpsonville, S.C.) to tie up the game at one goal a piece.
The Tornados and Trojans headed into overtime all nodded up. In the first overtime there were just two shots taken and both were by the Trojans. The Tornados took two shots in the second and final overtime period but were unable to net one leaving the score tied at one goal.
Shaw played the entire 110 minutes in goal for Brevard. He was faced with 19 shots, nine on goal and saved eight of them.
Offensively, the Tornados took 12 shots and put five of them on-target. A dual-effort by two Mount Olive goalkeepers kept the Tornados out of the net all but one time.
The men's team will head to UNC-Asheville on Wednesday, September 8th to face-off with Bulldogs in an afternoon contest. Game time is set for 4 p.m. at Greenwood Soccer Field.

All products are guaranteed FREE of chemical preservatives, parabens, artificial fragrances, petroleum, mineral oil, sodium lauryl sulfate, and other questionable ingredients. FAQ: Your Questions Answered: I've read that Deep Steep products are FREE of Chemical Preservative. What are Chemical Preservatives? In cosmetics manufacturing, "preservatives" are used to combat the growth of bacteria and mold. Bacteria and mold will grow in any product that contains water: lotions, liquid soaps, body washes, cleansers, etc. So in essence, just about any product you put on your body has the chance of growing bacteria and mold unless it is "preserved." Unfortunately, chemical preservatives (hundreds of them) are used frequently in personal care products because they are easy to obtain, cost very little, and, until recently, no one questioned their prolific use. Synthetic preservatives are considered by leading dermatological associations to be the number one cause of contact dermatitis (a localized rash or irritation of the skin caused by contact with a foreign substance). Additionally, several commonly used chemical preservatives have been scientifically linked to breast cancer and other adverse conditions of the skin and body. For your reference, Deep Steep has compiled a list of the most commonly used synthetic preservatives to look out for: Parabens (Methyl, Butyl, Propyl, Ethyl) Iodopropnyl butylcarbamate Methylisothiazolinine (MIT) Benzyl Alcohol Phenoxyethanol Diazolidinyl Urea Are synthetic chemical preservatives necessary?

Police are investigating the shooting death of an armed domestic violence suspect by Garden Grove police Saturday in Seal Beach.
The man, whose name was being withheld, was fatally shot as he tried to steal a car from a man pumping gasoline at a Chevron station at 2950 Westminster Ave. at about 5:25 p.m., Garden Grove police Lt. Jeff Nightengale said.
It was unclear what kind of weapon the man had, but police said one was recovered.
The deadly encounter started with police being sent at 4:28 p.m. to an address in the 5900 block of Huntley Avenue in Garden Grove on a report of a man violating a domestic violence restraining order.
"The order is related to history of domestic violence between the suspect and victim," Nightengale said, adding that the victim and suspect had been dating for several years. "While officers were speaking with the victim, another officer saw the suspect driving in a vehicle near the victim's home."
A pursuit was begun, but police soon lost sight of the suspect's vehicle, he said.
Soon afterward, Seal Beach police started getting reports of someone driving erratically near Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Avenue.
"The suspect drove into the parking lot of the Hampton Inn, which is located near the intersection of Seal Beach Boulevard and Westminster Avenue," Nightengale said. "The suspect fled on foot from the parking lot and ran to the Chevron gas station."
Nightengale said the suspect tried to carjack a man at the gas pumps.
"An officer from the Garden Grove Police Department intervened," Nightengale said. "The intervention led to an officer-involved shooting."

For the last several months I have been tediously converting my movie collection to MP4s. 120 or so, working great, all done as of last week. Today, I go to watch one and discover that it wont play. Then I discover that none of them will play. No love from VLC, XBMC, etc.
After spending all day in research mode, it sounds like my problem may have something to do with broken mp4 headers. This is merely an educated guess (which if true, I'd have to attribute to one of the media organizer apps that I had tried in the last week).
To correct this, I've tried several apps & scripts to demux/ remux/ resave/ export the mp4s to get them to work... but so far, nothing has been able to play the actual video file within.
Everything about these files looks like they should work. I have no idea what happened, but the properties of the container & the media within look good as far as I can tell.
Can anyone help me? I'm pretty much at the end of the road.
Exact symptoms:
- I try to play an MP4 from my within Movies folder, via multiple players, but the files simply won't work.
- Windows 7 64bit
- Lenovo Q180
Things I've tried that have failed:
- codec replacement - shark 007 update/ re-install
- ffmpeg - a simple acodec/ vcodec copy
- mp4box - demux/ remux
- mp4creator - demmux/ remux
- AVIDemux - open/ export
- YAMB - demux/ remux
- Grau GbR Video Repair Utility - open/ export
Other interesting tidbits:
- Any MP4 not in my Movies directory plays perfectly, on all players.
- I'm no newb, but I certainly feel like one.

This icing was developed for icing a cake only, not for use to decorate. We've not tested it, but you could try to reduce the amount of butter by one stick, and increasing the confectioners' sugar to try to get a medium consistency icing, but due to the nature of marshmallow crème or fluff, you probably won't be able to achieve a stiff consistency icing. Marshmallow fluff and marshmallow crème are very similar.

GroupLogic's activEcho 2.5 Advances Storage Administration, Security and Compliance for the Mobile Enterprise
Today' post on activEcho 2.5 comes from the activEcho Product Manager, Marcelo Andrieu. Thanks, Marcelo! – Anders
Today we are releasing activEcho 2.5. This is an exciting release as we have been working with many customers over the past few months to nail down their evolving requirements for file sharing and syncing. Many of these conversations are with our customers in healthcare, financial services, pharma, education, publishing, advertising, government, and legal. This is a fast-moving market and although customers were very happy with our 2.1 release, they always come up with new requirements! They learn and we learn together. So in line with this non-stop evolution and constant re-iteration of the product, this is what we've been doing to address their needs with 2.5:
• IT needs better storage management and control. In activEcho 2.5 we are adding storage quotas. For Active Directory users and ad-hoc users, IT can set policies and users can view quota status, receive alerts and purge unneeded content when demanded. This helps IT to keep storage demand under control as well as on budget.
• Users wanted more sharing and syncing options. So, we added "download only" and "read only" folder settings. Very useful for one-way document sharing and distribution, typical in many organizations. In addition, users wanted control on what to sync, so in 2.5 we also added the ability to define what folders are synced to Mac and PC desktops or just stay on the server for access via mobile devices or using a web browser.
• Compliance, security and content control. Organizations have been asking for the ability to take ownership or re-assign ownership of content when circumstances demand it. For instance, when an employee leaves the organization it seems reasonable to be able to make somebody else responsible for his/her content, projects and such. So we added a new administrative "change content ownership" feature to give IT that ability.
• Scalability and performance for large structures. We enhanced our Active Directory support, login compatibility and other parts of the product to ensure we perform at light speed even when dealing with tens of thousands of users in the system.
• And several other functions like more management options for mobile devices, tighter integration with mobilEcho and refinements to existing features.
We're sure our customers will enjoy these new set of features. But we and our customers have short memories, so since 2.5 is out, we are already working on the next one. You can expect to see us rolling out new exciting features soon.

Surat ar-Rahman, verse 48
Containing all kinds (of trees and delights). "Containing all kinds;" There are very delicate ornaments, very delicate beauties. For example, you take a cup and the birds on the cup handle sing. There is detail everywhere. There is also a screen, and when you look you see your loved one. Just so it pleases us. For example, houses stand in the air and they are made up of glass and crystals.
"Containing all kinds (of trees and delights)." The Qur'an explains it very well. There is beauty in the Garden and this world. What is the believer's aim? Always beauty: Beauty and love go hand in hand. If there is no love, beauty has no meaning. If there is beauty, there is love; if there is no love, beauty is meaningless.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 50
In them are two clear flowing springs. Famous springs. These springs could be like an energy channel where all blessings flow, because there are springs and water everywhere. Small streams: There is a lot of water in Paradise. There is water everywhere.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 52
In them are two kinds of every fruit.
Always two. "Two's" are also mentioned in the story of DhulQarnayn as well as Hz. Khidr and elsewhere. Two and the Mahdi's system are connected; but every fruit but two pairs. We will see all of the fruits we see here but they will be superior so that their quality and taste will be incomparable.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 54
They will be reclining on couches lined with rich brocade,the fruits of the Gardens hanging close to hand.
"...lined with rich brocade;" There are such intricate details that when we look at this atlas we find them to be breathtaking. Even a small part of it is so beautiful. "They will be reclining on couches." There are beds. Since we learned of tiredness in this world, we will have an instinct of needing a bed. There is the instinct of needing a bed and sofa. "The fruits of the Gardens hanging close to hand." When you reach out with your hand, the branch comes down because it is conscious and when it is picked, that fruit immediately forms again.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 56
In them are maidens with eyes for them alone,untouched before them by either man or jinn.
"In them are maidens with eyes for them alone," So looking is very important in women. "Only to their husbands" no one else. Then it would be meaningless. If she has a deep look special to him, then it means that she loves him a lot. This is a sign of strong love for one's spouse, and he is also pleased because it is special to him. He is pleased.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 58
Like precious gems of ruby and pearl.
Ruby is red and it shines very bright. Corals are also like that; they are eye catching. Women are shining with their jewelry like rubies and corals. They are as eye catching as jewels. Their complexion, eyes, lips and noses are very beautiful. When you look at them, you see that they are people like jewels. People, but they resemble jewels; they are eye catching. The women there are hypnotizing like jewels hypnotize people.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 62
As well as those two there will be two other Gardens.
This means four heavens. Allah mentioned two heavens but this time He says; ''As well as those two there will be two other Gardens.''
Then four heavens are certain. For those who wonder about how many heavens there are, it is understood that they are four.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 64
Of deep viridian green.
This means that there are forests, trees, grass and greenery. The dominant color is green.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 66
In them are two gushing springs.
It is understood that there is a spring here, not like an energy source but an actual spring. Water spurts and it flows. But as far as I understand it, there is a giant pool and a great spurting. It is very famous, so the Qur'an points that out . Then it is one of the most beautiful places in heaven. There are pools in every one of them.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 68
In them are fruits and date-palms and pomegranates.
Allah gave a couple of examples but He says that it is unique. Not like on Earth. Then Allah would have said "similar".
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 70
In them are sweet, lovely maidens.
First their personality because even if a person has a beautiful face, she becomes repulsive when her personality is not nice. This is why there are problems. A woman's physical beauty is not enough; she needs to be beautiful with faith. She will believe in Allah and then she will believe in Allah and she will fear Allah and love Allah so she can be beautiful. Otherwise, there is no beauty; but Allah points out personality and morals first.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 72
Dark-eyed, secluded in cool pavilions.
Protected but there is not a situation that calls for protection; no wolfs, no dogs. What is meant by protection? Sexuality; meaning women who didn't engage in sexuality before; protected women who were not touched by anyone before. In big tents so no one else sees them. Since there will be sex in heaven, Almighty Allah created tents for couples to prevent anyone else from seeing but these are magnificent tents and every millimeter of the tents is decorated amazingly. Tents full of light both inside and outside: They are very beautiful. There are no lamps to cast light inside the tent. It is light by itself. After the Day of Judgment the rules of physics will change. All the rules of physics will change so everything scientists tell us is invalid there; there will be new rules of physics and chemistry.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 74
Untouched before them by either man or jinn.
Allah points this out again. He emphasizes what He has pointed out in other verses again. Very beautiful women who have not had sex before and who are very clean and of high quality.
Surat ar-Rahman, verse 76
Reclining on green quilts and exquisite rugs.
They have sex together with their wives and they talk and chat. Allah describes that beauty.
Just as in the case of the Prophet Ishmael (pbuh) and the Prophet Joseph (pbuh). When he was thrown into the well, he was just a child. There is no such thing that children are not tested. Children are subject to trial also. Allah tries them with difficulties and comfort as well, so that they remember it when they grow up. It is a condition of the trial that he remembers it later on. If he didn't meet with any difficulty when he is a child, then there would not be trial anymore. Then it would be a miracle. Think about it; no child faces any difficulty when he or she is a child but only after a certain age they face with difficulty. This would be quite confusing; to prevent this and to make it seem natural, this is necessary. But sometimes Almighty Allah may create results for children to make them turn to the right path and to improve them. There is a great good in it. If a child is not trained at all and not tried, then the thing I just mentioned would happen but children are generally protected and taken care of. For example, always something happens; always children are the ones saved. Something happens but children generally survive, but if they were saved all the time then this would be against the secret of the trial.2013-10-17 21:12:58

Cities are growing in both size and as key drivers of regional and national growth. What will define one city from another, however, is whether it is managing its potential growth effectively and sustainably.
Growth can provide cities with new frontiers of possibilities if managed well, or alternatively, cause cities to degenerate into overcrowded areas suffering from social ills and the associated adverse effects of growth.
Accordingly, the quality of growth that cities can achieve is strongly linked to their power to address social, environmental and economic issues in a cohesive and proactive manner.
This should be coupled with strategic positioning, the latter which can be achieved through smart specialisation. This article explores this concept and its implications on city management.

Lehua Kalima of Na Leo Pilimehana releases her first solo CD!
Rising in Love is classic Lehua. Original, rich in romance and supported by an amazing band featuring Shawn Pimental on guitar & drums, Michael Grande on keyboards & piano, Imua Garza on electric & acoustic guitar, Randy Aloya on bass, Kaleo del Sol on guitar & vocals, Jay Dee Mannes on pedal steel, Michael Paulo on – saxophone and Jon Porlas on percussion.

Nineteen albums and 20 Na Hoku Hanohano awards later, they continue to record and perform throughout the world.

One line of Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous "I Have a Dream" speech perplexed Lonnie Wishom as a youngster growing up in the Bay Area.
It was King's dream that one day, "little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers."
"I remember thinking, 'Well, duh. Why wouldn't that be the case?' " says Wishom, 24, a recent Weber State University graduate now working for Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, in Washington. "Then I found out it hadn't always been the case."
King delivered his Dream speech, considered by scholars to be the greatest American political speech of the 20th century, on Aug. 28, 1963, from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Some 250,000 gathered that sweltering day, a mall crowd still unsurpassed in size. Millions, including President John F. Kennedy, listened by radio.
The speech energized discouraged civil rights activists and awakened the consciences of many whites.
But one legacy of the speech, 50 years on, is its emotional power to transmit to younger generations the stark truths of inequity that remained in America 100 years after slavery.
For Sha'von Daniels and Annette Bankhead, both 24 and graduates of the University of Utah in 2012 and 2013, respectively, the speech was the gate through which they would learn much about the civil rights struggle.
Bankhead remembers memorizing parts of King's speech as a little girl growing up in Salt Lake City. She still owns her children's book with the text of the speech.
"It's important for our generation to know our history and where we come from," says Daniels, who lives in Taylorsville.
"People died for us to … have some of the liberties we have today," says Daniels. "That's why it's so important as black females to take advantage of all these opportunities we have. Not so long ago, they didn't have that."
'It was like electrical power' • Winston Wilkinson wishes more young blacks would think like that.
"The dream itself opened up a lot of doors, but my concern is that we as a people are not taking advantage of it," says Wilkinson. Many young blacks "don't have a clue because they didn't live it."
Wilkinson did.
Aug. 28, 1963, was his 19th birthday, and he was on the fringes of the march, listening to King's speech by radio as he and other sailors guarded the 11th Street Bridge over the Anacostia River.
They had orders to "let nobody in but everybody out" if the march turned into a riot.
Wilkinson and several other black sailors had already discussed what they would do if ordered to raise their rifles against civil rights marchers: They would refuse.
"These people are coming to march for our freedom, and here we are going to use our rifles to break it up? We knew we would probably be court-martialed," says Wilkinson, a former Salt Lake County councilman who served as director of the Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under Mike Leavitt.
Wilkinson, who grew up in a segregated community outside Washington, had joined the Navy just out of high school in 1962. President Kennedy wanted more diversity at state dinners, and Wilkinson was among the first blacks to serve in military honor guards on such ceremonial occasions.
On Wednesday, he'll be in Washington, celebrating his 69th birthday at events commemorating the March on Washington.
The Rev. France Davis, who would later become a leader in Utah's black community, was also at the march.
He was 16 and on his way home to Georgia by bus after a summer job moving furniture in New Jersey. He was staying with his older sister; she told him why there were so many thousands of people streaming into Washington.
Though King was just a speck from Davis' spot in the crowd on the mall, he could hear the charismatic civil rights leader clearly via loudspeakers.
"It was exciting," Davis remembers. "It was like electrical power."
The speech, says Davis, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, was powerful enough to keep activists committed at a time when many questioned the wisdom of nonviolence and the future of the movement.
Davis also was on the Selma-to-Montgomery march, and his involvement in those historical moments shaped the man he became. "Both of them said, 'Here's what your life goals and work ought to be,' " says Davis.
Realizing King's dream, he says, has been a mixed bag.
"The laws are in place, but the attitudes are where we still have to work," says Davis. "People still believe in superiority and inferiority."
'Reality check' • Recent political history crystallized the awareness among black Utahns that racism is not dead.
At the same time a majority of American voters elected and then re-elected the first black president, Barack Obama, his election exposed a vein of prejudice.
"It was kind of a reality check," says Daniels.
"I knew we had not come that far, but I did not think we were that far behind," says Bankhead. "It was sad to see. You wanted to have faith in your country to think we were past that."
Jeff Henry, 53, says that he had to intervene during Obama's first campaign when his son, then in junior high, was disturbed by white kids saying that Obama would be assassinated, and that blacks would be targets of violence if he were elected.
Henry, then based at Hill Air Force Base, told his son to tell his peers that his father would have to report their comments as threats once Obama was president. That ended the bullying, he says.
Henry, retired from the Air Force and now a senior at WSU his son is a sophomore at the university believes America has far to go in realizing King's dream that children will be judged by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin.
"People generally label and judge people right off the bat," says Henry, who grew up in Reno, Nev. "We're not judged by content."
Young black men and women in college are often presumed to be athletes, he notes, just as Asians are thought to be good at math.
Celest Osei-Boamah, 17, a senior at Highland's Lone Peak High, says it annoys her that her skin color is a topic of conversation among her peers. "They mention my skin for no reason," says Osei-Boamah, whose mother is white and father is black.
When she and 20 other black high school students attended a leadership institute at the U. this summer, she says, white riders on buses were sometimes hostile or would "back away" from the group.
"Fifty years later, you still see racism," she says, noting that some of the worst treatment she witnesses as a young Utahn is directed toward Mexicans. "You see people constantly belittling Mexicans, pointing them out and making jokes."
Jan Curtis, also 17 and a student at Sandy's Alta High, remembers the surprise on the faces of a classmate's parents when she came to play in third grade. The next day, her pal ended their friendship.
Bankhead has been called the n-word on the streets of Salt Lake City, and knows the sting of waiting for a seat in a restaurant where it's obvious the staff doesn't want a group of young blacks.
"Change hasn't happened as much as it should have," says Bankhead. "It's going to take generations and generations."
Wishom, who runs the reception desk at Hatch's office in Washington, says it would be foolhardy to believe race doesn't matter anymore.
But it's not a small thing, he says, that there are no longer legal barriers to those who want an education, a job or to participate as a citizen.
"In 2013, no one is bending over backward to help black people because we used to be slaves," says Wishom. "It's important for people to realize we have all these opportunities and it's up to us."

Newberry, S.C. - Brevard fell in the first game of the doubleheader on Saturday 6-5, but led by a pair of RBIs by Tarron Robinson and Eric Renegar in game two, the Tornados topped Newberry Wolves in the series finale at the Smith Road Complex, winning 8-4.
Brevard moves to 4-5 overall on the season, 1-2 in the South Atlantic Conference, while Newberry is now 4-6 overall, 2-1 in South Atlantic Conference play.
Game One: Newberry 6, Brevard 5
Box Score
The Wolves battled back to tie the game in the seventh inning and scored a pair of runs on wild pitches in the eighth inning to claim the series win with a tight 6-5 win in the 9-inning game.
Newberry took the lead in the bottom of the first inning when Wesley Camp led off with a walk and the Wolves loaded the bases with no outs when Robby Scaggs and Andy Vogel were hit by pitches. Josh McElwee brought home Camp with a sacrifice fly to left, but a runner caught stealing and a groundout snuffed out the rally with Newberry holding on to just a 1-0 lead.
The Tornados tied the game in the second with a two-out RBI single by Chad Funkhouser and took a 3-1 lead after the third inning on sacrifice flies by Tarron Robinson and Kramer Clark.
Scaggs hit triples in the third and fifth innings, but Newberry could only convert one of those into a run, as Vogel cut the lead to 3-2 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
A Funkhouser RBI double for Brevard in the top of the sixth put the guests' lead back at two runs before a Wolves comeback.
The first three Wolves at the plate in the sixth loaded the bases before Newberry grounded into a double play which allowed Albert Baur to score and cut the lead to 4-3. Another Vogel sacrifice fly tied the game at 4-all after seven innings.
Newberry took a 6-4 lead after the eighth inning without having to record a single hit. Wilbur Caldwell drew a two-out walk before Camp was hit by a pitch and Scaggs was intentionally walked. Back-to-back wild pitches scored Wolves runs heading into the final inning.
Tyler Sturkie recorded his second save of the season, but not without some drama. Funkhouser led off with a double and scored on an Eric Renegar single to cut the lead to a solitary run. A sacrifice bunt put Renegar in scoring position and a walk put the potential game-winning run on base, but Baur snagged a hard-hit ball at third and doubled Renegar off of the bag at second to end the game.
Game Two: Brevard 8, Newberry 4
Box Score
Both teams had big innings thanks to opposition errors, but Brevard rallied in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings to avoid the series sweep and give Dylan Lee his first collegiate win.
The Tornados put up three runs in the top of the first when a throw to complete a potential double play went awry to bring a runner home from second and Robinson hit a two-run single.
Newberry tied the game in the third when Scaggs hit a two-run single and he scampered to third when the left fielder could not control the grounder. Vogel reached on an error to plate Scaggs and tie the game at 3-all.
BC's Renegar hit a two-out, two-run double in the fourth to put the guests up 5-3 and a sacrifice fly and RBI sacrifice bunt by the Tornados in the fifth made it a 7-3 game. Newberry had runners thrown out on the basepaths in scoring position in each inning. A Randy O'Dell sacrifice fly in the sixth pushed the lead to 8-3.
Newberry attempted to rally and comeback in the seventh inning, but could only push across one run on a Vogel RBI groundout with the tying run on deck as Bennett Hixson retired the side to record his first save of the 2012 season.
