Knopp's engaging book presents an introduction to modular functions in number theory by concentrating on two modular functions, \(\eta(\tau)\) and \(\vartheta(\tau)\), and their applications to two number-theoretic functions, \(p(n)\) and \(r_s(n)\). They are well chosen, as at the heart of these particular applications to the treatment of these specific number-theoretic functions lies the general theory of automorphic functions, a theory of far-reaching significance with important connections to a great many fields of mathematics.
The book is essentially self-contained, assuming only a good first-year course in analysis. The excellent exposition presents the beautiful interplay between modular forms and number theory, making the book an excellent introduction to analytic number theory for a beginning graduate student.
Graduate students and research mathematicians interested in analysis.

Washington (AFP) July 27, 2010 Sweden's Stieg Larsson is the first author to sell more than one million books in Amazon's Kindle electronic bookstore, the online retail giant said Tuesday. Amazon said its Kindle store has sold over one million digital copies of the books in Larsson's Millennium Trilogy: "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest." Amazon said all three books are among the top 10 best-selling Kindle books of all time. Larsson, the editor-in-chief of the magazine Expo, died suddenly of heart attack at age 50 in 2004. The Millennium Trilogy chronicles the adventures of Mikael Blomkvist, a journalist like Larsson, and a young computer hacker and punky cohort in solving mysteries, Lisbeth Salander. Hachette Book Group, publisher of US thriller writer James Patterson, said earlier this month that he had become the first novelist to sell more than one million e-books, a figure that includes other e-book sales besides Kindle.

So my new partner had his first tantrum. About time. He's been here over a year and you really expect the first real tantrum at a year into a new job. Once the shininess has worn off and grim reality sets in.
I was in bad odor when he was interviewed so the hospital/clinic neither notified me nor invited me to interview him. (I am so comfortable in the dysfunctional family values of my corporation. Just like home.) I did run into him in the hall when he interviewed and I said cheerfully, "Hi, they didn't tell me you were interviewing because they don't want me there. Welcome. Feel free to call me if you have any questions because I'm happy to share my opinions." He didn't call me and took the job anyhow. Hee, hee.
He instantly became head computer geek doctor thank god. Our previous head computer geek provider wasn't a doctor and suffered about it, and any problem with the sucky Electronic Medical Record (EMR) was a USER PROBLEM. It was HIS BABY. We even had a really lovely email fight on the first anniversary of its inception where he sent out a celebratory memo and I rained on his parade. I said I was in mourning for the doctors who were leaving because of it and he accused me of attempting to throttle his first born. He said how would I like it if on MY birthday he came and told me I was getting older and all. I pointed out that the damn EMR was not alive. This was too good not to share, so I printed out the emails and took them to Dr. B. I said, "I thought you were leaving because of the EMR, but the head computer geek provider says that you aren't." Within 24 hours Dr. B. emailed all the medical staff that he was "leaving 100% because of the EMR." and later administration told me that the geek provider wanted to brain me. Oooops. So I was not very popular with the EMR team. I hope to learn diplomacy in my 90s.
Back to our new computer geek doctor. He did clinic three days a week and geeked the fourth day. (Am I disrespectful? Geek works as a verb. Is it an insult? I have respect for geeks but many of them put too many bells and whistles on the systems and I think our current EMR is in the stone ax stage of development.) A few weeks ago he said to me, "Lizard."
"Yes." I replied.
"Do you use this part of the EMR?"
"Which part?"
I study it. "Nope."
Tantrum. "I've been working on that part of the system for the last year. I've sent all of the providers emails about it. Don't you read my emails?"
"Look. I read your emails every time but you write in tech. I don't understand tech. You write about populating the fields and I have no damn idea what you are on about. You don't write in English."
"I told you when you were first hired. The first year we had the system, if we asked a question, we were treated like imbeciles. Any problem was a user problem. The system could do no wrong. We quit asking questions."
"Look. I'll bet that 90% of the providers you send your emails to don't understand them. We don't talk tech. I can help you. Show me what you are doing each time and let me translate it into English and I'll send the email. Really. If you show me, I'll bet I can make it make sense."
He stomped out.
The offer stands. Still don't understand much of what he sends out.
Currently he isn't sending anything. Hee, hee.
The really delicious addendum is that I told one of the other doctors my age about this educational and informative interaction. She said, "Oh, I'm worse than you. I got so mad about not understanding his emails, that I delete them without reading them."

JR Smith's sister attacks an 80 year old woman during his basketball game
Not surprised considering how JR Smith acts. They brought the projects across seas with them.
================================================== ======= http://dy.snimg.com/story-image/4/39...2720-330-0.jpg J.R. Smiths stint with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese Basketball Association gets stranger and stranger, with reports out of China (via Deadpsin and CBS Sports) that his sister got into a physical altercation with two woman in the stands during the Golden Bulls game against the Bayi Rockets. Smiths sister reportedly got upset when her brother was hacked but no foul was called. She allegedly threw a bottle onto the court, and went on to choke a woman and shove another one, who happened to be 80 years old, according to the Deadspin report. The game was delayed, and Smith went into the stands to restrain his sister, according to CBS Sports. After the game, Rockets fans demanded an apology and held up Smith's team's bus for 45 minutes. Smith is understood to be trying to get out of his contract with Zhejiang so he can return to the NBA before the teams season is over, something the Chinese league legislated against during the NBA lockout. Smith and the team had a disagreement over how to treat a knee injury he sustainedthe team questioned whether he was even injured at alland he reportedly missed three practices, claiming he was not feeling well, only to be found shopping in Shanghai. One side note: The Bayi Rockets are the Chinese military team with which the Georgetown basketball team got into a bench-clearing brawl during the Hoyas tour of China last summer. |
hahahahahahaha she choked your sister out damn
I have an 80 year old asian sister?
do you laugh at yourself when you tell them lame jokes?
jesus christ, your not 12 anymore. A steady job would help |
grammar lessons would help YOUR dumb ass

AMD Drops Windows XP Support with Latest Graphics Driver Update
In the "system requirements" area, AMD lists Windows 8 (32 & 64-bit versions), Windows 7 (32 & 64-bit versions with SP1 or higher), and Windows Vista (32 & 64-bit versions with SP2 or higher).
That's not surprising. Windows XP is a venerable operating system, to be sure, but it's long overdue for mothballs. Microsoft will stop supporting the OS in April, and the company has been pushing for businesses, who are otherwise content to continue using the aged Windows XP, to upgrade to a newer version.
Other features of the AMD Catalyst 13.6 beta driver release include increased performance in PCMark benchmarks with AMD's APUs; fixing an HDMI audio dropout problem; enhancements to AMD Enduro technology; AMD Wireless Display support (Windows 8); and more.

A countdown to the closure of hundreds of medical marijuana shops in Los Angeles is set to begin after a drawn-out legal battle led the city council to vote unanimously to shutter the shops - but it may not be over.
After Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa signs the ordinance as expected, pot shops will have 30 days to shut down lucrative operations that blossomed around the nation's second biggest metropolis. On Tuesday, the city council voted 14-0 to ban them.
As many as 900 dispensaries will be affected by the new ordinance, but it's unclear what will happen if they disobey the order. Legal questions remain unanswered by the state's highest court.
The city has fumbled with its medical marijuana laws for years, trying to provide safe and affordable access to the drug for legitimate patients while addressing worries by neighborhood groups that streets were being overrun by dispensaries and pot users.
"Relief is on the way," said Councilman Jose Huizar, who introduced the so-called "gentle ban."
Many cities have struggled with medical marijuana ordinances, but none has had a bigger problem than Los Angeles, where pot shops have proliferated. At one point, the city ordered closure of the shops - a process that failed amid lawsuits and conflicting rulings by appellate courts.
This time around, the city has a stronger case if pot shop owners sue, city officials said. A recent appellate court ruling seems to support the new ordinance that refers to a marijuana collective as three or fewer people.
The ban allows hospices and home health agencies to provide medical pot. Letters will be sent to the dispensaries advising them of the ban.
"A judge could file an injunction but we think that is unlikely," said Jane Usher, a special assistant city attorney.
The ban further adds to confusion for Californians, who in 1996 approved medicinal use of marijuana with a doctor's recommendation. The state Supreme Court has decided to clarify the drug's hazy legal status by addressing whether local governments can ban medical marijuana clinics, but a hearing has yet to be set.
Meanwhile, federal authorities have cracked down on pot clinics around the state, saying such operations remain illegal under U.S. law.
Los Angeles passed an ordinance two years ago that was supposed to shutter hundreds of pot dispensaries while capping the number in operation at 70. But legal challenges from collectives and that ordinance's expiration last month led to another surge of pot shops.
City officials said 762 collectives have registered with the city and as many as 200 more could exist.
"We need to start with a clean slate," Councilman Mitchell Englander said before the vote. "Los Angeles has experimented with marijuana and has failed."
The new ban could be temporary for some dispensaries. A motion made by Councilman Paul Koretz called for city staff to draft an ordinance that would allow about 180 pot shops to reopen after a moratorium was enacted years ago. That motion isn't expected to be considered for several months.
After the vote Tuesday, some medical marijuana advocates shouted expletives, while others questioned where they could get the drug in the future.
"This is an outrage that the city council would think a reasonable solution to the distribution of medical marijuana would be to simply outlaw it altogether," said Don Duncan, California Director with Americans for Safe Access, the country's leading medical marijuana advocacy group.
Duncan said the vote will harm tens of thousands of patients.
At least 178 California cities from Calistoga to Camarillo and 20 counties already have banned retail pot shops, according to the medical marijuana advocacy group Americans for Safe Access.
Reflecting the murky language of the state's medical marijuana laws, a handful of dispensaries have successfully challenged local prohibitions in court, along with laws that merely sought to regulate dispensaries.
Most recently, an appeals court in Southern California struck down Los Angeles County's 2-year-old ban on dispensaries, ruling that state law allows cooperatives and collectives to grow, store and distribute pot.
But in a separate case, an appeals court said federal law pre-empts local municipalities from allowing pot clinics.
The vote came a day after a priest, drug counselors and others decried crime and other social problems they say surround neighborhood marijuana dispensaries. Among those who spoke was a woman who complained about having to push her baby's stroller through clouds of marijuana smoke near dispensaries in her East Hollywood neighborhood.
Daniel Sosa, a medical marijuana advocate, told council members it's fruitless to approve a ban that won't have any merit, and will likely lead to more lawsuits.
"If you can't enforce it, why are you going to pass something?" Sosa asked the council.
Associated Press writer Lisa Leff in San Francisco contributed to this report.

Roughly one-in-eight new immigrants to America are 55 or older, ensuring there's little financial payback for the $300,000 or more in taxpayer support given on average to each older immigrant during the last few decades of their lives.
This aspect of immigration policy was highlighted April 13 on President Barack Obama's campaign website, when an Ohio organizer posted a short item titled "A first time voter: Pedro's remarkable story."
"Pedro C.," now 68 years old, "moved to the United States from Peru 6 years ago," said the post by Riley Wells, a field organizer in Franklin County.
Because Pedro spoke little English, said Wells, "it was difficult for us to understand each other… [but] Pedro pointed to a mural of President Obama on our office wall and gave a thumbs up."

Trying this again. A little bit goes a long way with this tea. Easy to oversteep as I found out. Having learned that lesson, I'm giving it another go.
I'm not getting Earl Grey from this tea, despite the smell of the dry tea. Its coming across as harsh and bitter, as in a citrus bitter. The flavor mellows a bit and becomes less bitter as it cools, but its still not quite right…and still no "Earl Grey". Given that there are so many other Earl Grey's out there that I like a lot better, I'll not waste my time on this one again in the near future.

Panama Canal's $5.25 Billion Expansion Project at Risk
Eric Sabo, Isabella Cota and Nick LeiberThe $5.25 billion expansion of the Panama Canal was at risk of being delayed after negotiations on cost overruns between a construction group led by Spain's Sacyr SA and the waterway's authority broke down.
The Panama Canal Authority said that the construction group building new locks meant to accommodate larger ships traveling from North America to Asia suspended work on the project today. Afterward, a spokeswoman for Sacyr said work had been slowed, not stopped. The company's shares fell as much as 8.4 percent, the biggest intraday drop since Jan. 3, and closed down 6.9 percent at 3.62 euros in Madrid.
Sacyr and Milan-based Salini Impregilo SpA said in December they wanted compensation for $1.6 billion in cost overruns, about half the value of their original contract. They gave the canal authority, which is independent from the government, one month to reach an accord. Talks continued until yesterday, when no agreement was reached. The dispute puts as many as 10,000 jobs at "imminent risk," the companies said.
"They put a threat on the table and today they executed it," Jorge Quijano, head of the canal authority, told reporters in Panama City today, vowing to finish the project on time. "We demand they restart the expansion work."
Quijano said the project will be finished "with or without" the companies,. which he accused of "blackmail."
'Unforeseen Costs'
"Any delay is rather bad for the market," said Nigel Prentis, the London-based head of ship broker Hartland Shipping Services, in a phone interview. "Many ships have been ordered based on the new Panama Canal so it'll be quite a disappointment to have a delay."
Madrid-based Sacyr and Salini continue to seek a solution to finish the project in 2015, they said in a regulatory filing today in Madrid. The European builders beat rivals including San Francisco, California-based Bechtel Group Inc. to win the contract in 2009. Their work, which is about 70 percent finished, needs the extra financing to be completed, they said. Quijano also said talks would continue, adding that he has received offers from other companies to take over the project.
'Liquidity Problem'
"There have been unforeseen costs" that arbitration should resolve, Manuel Manrique, Sacyr's chief executive officer, said on Cadena Ser Radio in Spain. "But after four years the claims haven't been resolved and there's a liquidity problem and that's what we're discussing."
A breakdown "would be bad news for everyone," Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos told reporters in Madrid today, before Quijano's news conference.
As Spain's economy suffered in recent years and the government cut spending on public works, the country's builders became increasingly reliant on foreign projects. About 25 percent of Sacyr's 1.32 billion euros ($1.8 billion) of nine-month international revenue came from Panama, according to the company's latest earnings report.
Unlikely Rescission
It's unlikely the construction contract will be rescinded, Prentis said.
"Can you imagine? Just taking them off and putting a new construction company that knows nothing about the construction to date?," Prentis said. "I can't imagine that's possible."
Milan-based Salini's shares fell 1.1 percent to 4.29 euros.
Panama's ambassador to Spain, Roberto Eduardo Arango, said yesterday the country needs a fallback plan to ensure the project is completed even if talks fail. Panamanian President Ricardo Martinelli vowed on Jan. 22 that the expansion would be finished.
It's "normal in such a complex project that there are cost overruns, that's reasonable," Pablo Ortiz de Juan, an analyst at Interdin in Madrid, said by phone. "So we shouldn't be scaring ourselves."
WikiLeaks Report
Panama Vice President Juan Carlos Varela was cited in a cable released by WikiLeaks and published by El Pais newspaper in 2010 as saying the expansion project was a "disaster" and that in two or three years "it will be obvious this is all a failure." He made the comments on the Sacyr contract at a lunch with U.S. Ambassador Barbara Stephenson, according to WikiLeaks.
The Sacyr-led group was hired to build locks on both sides of the 80-kilometer (50-mile) waterway, shortening voyages from the U.S. to Asia and potentially reducing transport costs for commodities such as liquefied natural gas. The expansion will allow ships 1,200 feet (366 meters) long and 160 feet wide, holding as many as 12,600 containers, to transit the waterway.
"We will not let this work be detained for long," Quijano said. "We will confront any demand because we are right in our defense of the Panama Canal."

Personal fitness trainer Drew Manning has received international notoriety for his unusual mission to gain weight during the course of six months, and in the following six months lose it all, in a bold and daring effort to empathize with what people who are overweight or obese and struggling to lose weight, and to show what it is possible to achieve. His journey is documented at Fit2Fat2Fit, with photos and videos and blog postings documenting physical and emotional changes.
He made an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show on Wednesday, November 16, 2011, along with his wife, Lynn, and discussed the impact his 70 pound weight gain has had and to outline his diet and fitness plan for weight loss. He told the audience that he wants to better understand what it's like to be overweight, and to create an create awareness of just how unhealthy we eat in America.
Drew Manning (before and after weight gain pictures above).
Dr. Oz conceded that he declined to do 30 days on the typical American diet, knowing all too well the health risks and consequences. Drew Manning described a typical day's menu on the Fit to Fat stages. He would start with breakfast of a sugary cereal such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch. His morning snack would be juice, soda, granola bars. Lunch was a couple of peanut butter sandwiches on white bread followed by an afternoon snack might consist of chips or cookies. His typical dinner fare would include processed foods such as macaroni and cheese or hot pockets. His late night snack was another bowl of sugary cereal or a piece of cake.
He talked about the emotional toll the diet took on him, the difficulties it created in his home life, from not having the energy to keep up with his two-year-old daughter to not being about to help his wife around the house because he was too tired and lethargic. His wife spoke out, noting that he was not the same person he used to be, and that he was emotionally depressed and insecure, and this had created a totally different dynamic in the house.
Dr. Oz then noted the physical costs of a diet like this. Drew Manning's BMI had gone from 24.8 to 34, which indicates obesity. He was already developing complications in liver function. His liver enzymes had shot up to 66 when they should be below 40, indicating that the liver is inflamed and headed towards cirrhosis. His kidney numbers were abnormal, with the GFR at 72, when it should be above 80.
Noting that Drew Manning had risked his life to make a point, Dr. Oz asked him about what he had learned. He said that he had learned how real the addictions and cravings are for food. He then talked about the diet plan, saying, it's about lifestyle, it's not a diet. It's a lifestyle change.
He discussed his diet tips and demonstrated one of the exercises in his workout routine, a hands step up with plank. In brief, the three rules are as follows:
1. Get Your Carbs From Veggies
2. Eat 5 Small Meals Throughout the Day
3. Use Your Weekend to "Splurge"
Check out the resources at the DoctorOz.com Web site: Drew Manning's Fat to Fit Plan to see the rationale behind the rules and to check out the recipe for the spinach shake.
He shares some of his thoughts on the Fat to Fit to Fat journey in a behind the scenes video. Check back for more videos from the Dr. Oz Show appearance.
For a vast array of news, updates, as well as detailed meal plans, shopping list, workout plans, and a large and active online forum, check out his official Web site Fit2Fat2Fit and Facebook fan page.
I am so appreciative of what he's doing in bringing attention to the severe consequences of consuming the standard American diet, and revealing that it is not impossible to make crucial lifestyle changes — of healthy foods and exercise — for the sake of restoring health and reversing the progression of disease. The severe impact of gaining 70+ pounds on Drew Manning's health was discussed in more detail in a video conversation with his doctor, Dr. Warren Willey and an accompanying article; click here to see it.
He started his "Fat to Fit" journey on November 5 and lost more than 10 pounds in just the first week. A quick visit to the Web site or the Facebook page and you will see an active and supportive community who are following along with the diet and fitness plan.

Police to crack down on cyclists vs. drivers
Judgment day is coming for drivers and cyclists, and it's about time.
With an average of one cyclist a month killed in Orange County, law enforcement in four cities is joining forces this month to turn around this tragic trend.
On Saturday and again on Feb. 24, police in Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach will fan out for a special crackdown on drivers and cyclists.
Called the Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operation, the focus will be on violations that lead to bike vs. vehicle collisions.
To our men and women in blue, I say thank you.
You might want to join me in welcoming the Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operation. It marks a significant step toward saving lives as well as a step toward saving the future of road riding in one of the nation's premier cycling locations.
"The goal of the program," said Newport Chief of Police Jay Johnson, "is to educate the public about the safe and lawful use of bicycles, as well as the safe and lawful use of vehicles that share the roadways with bicycles."
Johnson's words may seem simple and straight forward. But they are bold and brave.
After witnessing raging debates over road rights, Johnson's language is sure to drive some people nuts.
But they represent what our county should be known for: Share the road.
Some might argue that the Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operation doesn't include every city. They might say it won't prevent all future injuries and fatalities.
I've written more than a dozen columns in the last five years about smashed bicycles, broken bones and death. I know paralyzed people as well as widows and widowers. And I ride the road.
To those who criticize the crackdown, I say grow up.
Cyclists should stop doing dumb stuff. And drivers should learn how to drive.
My introduction to Johnson came last fall. His e-mail had a headline: "Cyclist killed in Newport Beach."
Several cyclists were killed in Newport Beach during the summer. Another one? But Johnson quickly explained.
"If you're anything like me, the above headline puts a pit in your stomach," he wrote. "Fortunately this time it is not true, but as the Chief of Police I don't ever want to read that headline again."
While I was annoyed with the bait and switch, I liked Johnson's style. He not only knew how to get people's attention, he was compassionate and serious.
The rest of his e-mail is worth sharing:
"Two weeks into my new job as Chief of Police in Newport Beach, I responded to the scene of the fatal accident of cyclist Michael Nine on Spyglass Hill.
"Though I have been to many in my 23-year career in Long Beach, they never get any easier and sad as all of them could have been prevented."
Johnson's e-mail concluded by inviting what he called "20 leaders in the cycling community" to an open meeting. "The first step," Johnson said, "is building relationships and starting some dialogue."
A meeting often is the first step. I worried the meeting also would be the last step.
On the night of Oct. 21, 2010, I walked into Newport Beach's Oasis Senior Center. There were about three-dozen people casually dressed and about a half-dozen uniformed officers.
The size of Johnson's posse indicated the chief wasn't there just to yak. He meant business.
Tall, tan and chiseled, Johnson reiterated the deaths and asked for suggestions on how to prevent injuries and fatalities.
Johnson listened patiently to more than an hour of comments. There were tales of crashes, plenty of stories of aggressive cyclists and aggressive drivers and some good suggestions.
Driver and cyclist awareness – and courtesy – emerged as two themes.
I went home and the debates over who should be and shouldn't be on the road continued, sometimes on the Internet, other times at busy intersections.
But Johnson kept working.
In unveiling this month's Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operation, Johnson said this is an especially auspicious time for drivers and cyclists to learn to share the road.
"With more traffic congestion on our city streets and more people turning to bicycles as a transportation alternative," Johnson said, "we need to make sure that all road users understand the rules, laws and safe behavior."
How will police do that?
"Extra officers," Johnson explained, "will be on duty patrolling areas frequented by bicyclists and vehicles." He also said, "Prevention is a key component of the program."
Translation: Tickets.
Some drivers may complain that cyclists shouldn't be on the road and that cars are king. And some cyclists may complain that they are being harassed and they shouldn't be cited for rolling through stop signs.
But we've been hearing that kind of whining for the past five years – while burying more than 80 cyclists.
Johnson's ready for something different, something that reminds me of a friend's green shirt with a red circle and slash mark over the word "whining."
The Newport Beach police chief also made an extra effort to point out officers will enforce the law equally for both cyclists and drivers:
"Officers will be addressing traffic violations made by all vehicle operators, bicyclists, and other vehicle drivers that lead to bicycle vs. vehicle collisions, injuries and fatalities."
Whether you're a driver or a cyclist – and most cyclists are both – let's applaud the effort.
And if your city was left out, you might ask your local law enforcement about joining or having its own Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operation.
The life you save could be your own.
In announcing the Bicycle Safety Enforcement Operation, Newport Beach Police Chief Jay Johnson cited a list of laws that – if obeyed – should reduce bicycle vs. car collisions.
Here's his breakdown along with the California Vehicle Code.
Bicycle vs. motorist:
• Bicycle must be operated on a roadway or the shoulder of the highway in the same direction as the flow of traffic. 21650.1
• Failure to stop at Stop Signs. 22450(a)
• Failure to stop at Stop Lights. 21453(a)
• Yield the right of way to all traffic. 21804
Motorist vs. bicycle:
• Failure to yield when turning left. 21801(a
• Unsafe turning movement. 22107
• Failure to stop at red light. 21453(a)
• Failure to yield to others lawfully in intersection. 21451(b)

Smokey Robinson outstanding in Bowl debut
July 15th, 2010, 1:07 pm by GUEST BLOGGER, FOR THE REGISTERLongtime contributor Steve Fryer is back again, this time dipping into Motown's storied past for an auspicious debut ...
It can be painful, watching a sports or entertainment icon still performing when the career should already have ended.
We saw it with Muhammad Ali, Willie Mays and Joe Namath, all the best in their business at one time but struggling embarrassingly in their final years. Frank Sinatra forgot lyrics and displayed a severely reduced range in his last rounds of performances. And as his recent Hootenanny performance proved, 83-year-old Chuck Berry's mind might be willing, but his fingers fail him these days.
So here was 70-year-old Smokey Robinson, taking the stage Wednesday night at the Hollywood Bowl to the familiar tom tom-driven beat of "Going to a Go-Go." He looked stiff, his soft voice lost in the bass-heavy mix.

Improving Education
Seattle University is developing a "university assisted community school" with Bailey Gatzert Elementary which includes campus-school partnerships focusing on academics, social, emotional and physical health, arts and technology. Initial results:
- The Gatzert after-school program, which did not exist prior to 2010, contributes 35,000 hours of additional learning time each year (almost 20% more time per student per year).
- In 2011-2012, Gatzert Elementary School had the highest academic growth rate of any school in Seattle.
- In 2012-2013, Gatzert Elementary students continued to show progress. One of the most significant gains was in 5th grade science; 55% of Gatzert fifth graders passed the State MSP Science test (up from 10% in 2010-2011).
Expanding Services
Seattle University partnered with Seattle Housing Authority to successfully obtain a "Choice Neighborhood" HUD grant.Initial results:
- SUYI investments over three years of $6.3 million were leveraged into $36.8 million in new funding for affordable housing, education, and health care.
- The University partnered with eight local organizations to engage over 300 neighborhood children and youth in summer learning opportunities.This represents a 100% increase in participation in just two years and over 27,000 hours of additional learning and enrichment time.
- Three neighborhood residents have been hired through targeted University job fairs and more job fairs for neighborhood residents are planned. In addition, 15 local high school students worked on campus through the City of Seattle's Youth Employment Program.
Engaging the University
Drawing upon the resources of all of its colleges and schools, the University has expanded and developed 47 campus-community SUYI partnerships and connected several hundred courses to the neighborhood. In 2012-2013
- 1,384 SU students served in the SUYI neighborhood; a 79% growth in the number of students engaged in the neighborhood since 2010-2011.
- 250 SU students made a year-long commitment to serve in the neighborhood; a 52% growth in the number of students since 2010-2011.
- 43 faculty engaged 838 students with SUYI partners through 94 courses with a service-learning component; a 45% increase in student participation since 2010-2011.
- Nine faculty partnered with neighborhood organizations on expansive community-based research projects through a new Faculty Fellows Program.


text: Public Courts elder statesmen By Doug Smock July 12, 2013 Kenny Kemp From left, Harry Markham and Kent Robinson get ready to battle Chuck Wirts and Goutam Hattiangadi in a men's 70-and-over doubles match Friday at the Tennis Indoor Center. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- One thing to gather from the men's 70-and-over doubles division at the Charleston Public Courts is this: It's never too late to pick up the game or return to it, whatever the case may be.And at the Public Courts, it's never too late to stick with it."I'm 74. I'm almost ready for the next bracket, if they get somebody to play in it," Chuck Wirts joked.Wirts and Goutham Hattiangadi lost to Harry Markam and Kent Robinson 6-2, 7-6 in a match Friday night, as play was chased into the Tennis Indoor Center. The third team in the bracket is Don Tate and Clarence Woody, and the three teams will play a round-robin tournament. Markam and Robinson both got into competitive tennis in the 35-40 age range, and their reasons were simple. "Both of us are athletes. We played basketball, softball; we got too old to play that. Tennis is a game you can play the rest of your life," Markham said.Hattiangadi picked up the game at age 14 in his native Bombay, India, and won a Public Courts singles division championship in 1971. He played a lot in junior veterans brackets, but he eventually stopped in favor of recreational weekend play.But now, the retired Union Carbide engineer is playing his first Public Courts since 1981. "Good atmosphere, nice people. It's good to be here," he said.His partner is another Carbider, Wirts. The "old man" of Friday's match, Wirts remembers the old tennis complex at the Tech Center."When I moved to Charleston [from Chicago], when I was playing on the Carbide Har-Tru courts, that's where I started playing fairly seriously," Wirts said. "That was '73."They had eight very nice courts. I was involved for many years trying to take care of those courts. They were in good shape - kind of a shame we've lost them." Wirts is also playing in the 65-and-over singles, and has a 9 a.m. Sunday match scheduled against John White.Markham, 72, and Robinson, 70, have more local roots - Markham played basketball and baseball at Charleston High and West Virginia Tech, graduating in 1959 and 1963, respectively. Robinson is a 1961 graduate of Dunbar High.Robinson said he has won three Public Courts titles in the various divisions, but Markham is loaded with titles. And yes, they came later in his competitive tennis career."I wasn't that good until I got about 50; all of them beat me like a drum," he said. "Then they got some ailments and I came on the last 15 years. Thirteen years, I've won something."There's something about winning the battle of attrition. All four of the players are in tremendous shape for their age, though they report a few aches. For Robinson, it's the shoulder. Markham has had two Achilles tendons repaired and has a creaky knee, and Wirts had a rotator cuff repaired two years ago. "Things aren't perfect, but they're all original equipment," Wirts joked.They've all played through the pain, and this week they are serving as the Public Courts' elder statesmen."That's why we're here. It's fun, exercise, enjoyable," Robinson said.Reach Doug Smock at 304-348-5130, firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him at twitter.com/dougsmock.

Get Covered America's #GotCovered Series: New Coverage Options Will Keep Communities of Color Healthy
Thursday, December 19, 2013
CONTACT: Justin Nisly
email@example.com | 202-601-2494
Americans are coming forward to take advantage of their options in the new Health Insurance Marketplace.
Washington, DC – This week's #GotCovered profile focuses on the impact health insurance has in communities of color across the country. While lack of access to affordable insurance is not unique to just one particular population, there are grave health disparities across communities of color in the U.S. For example, Latinos have the highest uninsured rates of any ethnic group, followed by African-Americans. That's 30 percent or 15 million American Latinos without insurance. About 20 percent of African-Americans or 7.8 million are uninsured compared to the 11 percent of non-Hispanic white Americans who go without coverage.
A high prevalence of chronic disease and pre-existing conditions can be traced to this lack of preventive care. Conditions like diabetes and hypertension go unnoticed and untreated. With expanded access to health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, communities of color are taking advantage of coverage that keeps their families healthy and out of the emergency room. Our previous #GotCovered stories are available here.
Jennifer Mapp – Philadelphia, PA
At 29 years old, Jennifer knows the importance of staying healthy. Her family has struggled with cancer and diabetes and she wanted insurance that provides preventive care for those screenings. She knows too many in the African-American community who need that kind of coverage. That's why she accessed healthcare.gov in November and found a plan that's affordable and is eager to pay her first invoice. As a day care worker, she will no longer have to worry that the flu could mean outrageous medical bills.
"My Dad's experience trying to find coverage taught me that getting insurance on my own would be difficult. That's not the case anymore. I qualified for a marketplace subsidy that makes my premium $21 a month."
M. Emad Salem – Frisco, TX
After improvements were made to healthcare.gov, Emad was able to login and shop insurance options after waiting years for the marketplace to open. Emad is an Arab-American, working in real estate with a wife and children. He was eagerly awaiting coverage that secured their future and kept them from incurring costly medical bills.
"Five or six years ago, my wife and I had to drop our insurance when the premium kept getting higher and higher – eventually becoming completely unaffordable. I found health insurance for my family through the website for about $350 a month and I'm so thankful."
Maggie Fernandez – Miami, FL
Maggie has never let an obstacle keep her from her passion. After encountering problems with HealthCare.Gov, she waited patiently until trying again this week. Maggie is a Hispanic small business owner and registered Republican. She's active in community service in her area and passionate about sustainability issues and how they affect her community. For her, going without insurance for a few months as she became self-employed was an obstacle she could overcome starting January 1. That's why she is thankful to have picked out an insurance option in the marketplace and finalize her enrollment this week. In a few weeks, Maggie will no longer have to pay for her medication out-of-pocket. She is encouraging everyone in her community to see what's in the marketplace for them.
"I work hard to meet my financial obligations and it's a relief that there is now coverage for me when there wasn't before."

Part of the girth is the knife itself, it's 0.25" thick which does not lend itself to a think handle no matter how you wrap the steel.
Just got a new Esee-5, and I was caught off guard by the size of the handle. I have an Esee-4 and a whole clutch of Izulas and love them all, but can't seem to get a grip on the 5. It is so thick and unwieldy I feel like I'm trying to shake hands with a 2x4. I can't see myself doing much more than chopping with this blade. Anyone else have this problem?
I've got average size hands, and have never had a problem gripping bigger knives...
Should I take out the spacers? Trim the micarta? Or ditch the scales all together and wrap the handle?
Thanks in advance.
Part of the girth is the knife itself, it's 0.25" thick which does not lend itself to a think handle no matter how you wrap the steel.
Spring is the mischief in me -- Robert Frost
If you think the 5 has a thick grip, try on a BK2 for comparison. The BK2 is a fatbottom girl, the 5 is anorexic.
My scrapyard SOD is a thicker blade but still has a more tapered handle. It's not just the thickness the width barely lets my fingers reach my palm.
A stock ESEE 5 has no spacers, are you sure it's the original handle?
I wouldn't screw with the knife. It is what it is. I like the 5 and all but it's not what I want to be EDC'ing in the bush or anywhere else. For me it's too heavy for that and the grind is too obtuse for general woods use although some would disagree with me. What I do like it for is beating the living crap outta stuff , battoning , and things I want to save my thinner knives from doing. Same goes for my BK-2 ( truck knife) It's thick because of the stock and thinning the handles would just mess it up , IMO. ( besides, the screw length wouldn't work anymore)
last time i checked, the 6 and the 5 have the same shape grips, and the 6's are much thinner. you could try trading the 5's grips to somebody who has some 6 grips.
oh hey, look at that, i happen to have a 6 and would love to trade for some 5 grips....
shoot me an email/ visitor message if interested. I just got my 6 the other day, and the grips are like new.
You guys must have tiny girly hands. Anything but the 5 (including the 6, and especially the 4) feels small in my hands.
Wanna make a trade, those Esee 5 slabs for my Esee 6 slabs?
If so email me....
If you got the time and a few $$, why not just make your own scales and buy some screws that fit the new scales?
Micarta is pretty cheap to make if you dont like wood, and screws are anything from free to 20$ a piece.
funny, the ESEE 5 is the only one that really fits my hand. The Izula, three and four are too thin and short.
Swapping 6 scales for the 5 won't help. They are the same scales except for the bow drill divot. The 6 is 3/16" thick steel and the 5 is 1 /4" thick stel. That is the difference. The 5 was designed as a very heavy duty knife. Most spec's were from the SERE trainers in the Air Force so cutting out of an aircraft or prying open ordinance crates are amoung the duties for this knife. It is not the best 'chopper' or camp chore knife we produce simply because the blade geometry was not designed with that as the primary goal.
You might get someone here on Blade Forums to make a thinner set of scales for you. You would have to cut down the barrel nut and screws to match the thinner scales but it could be done. Making a larger radius on the top and bottom edges of the scales might also help the grip be more comfortable for your hand.
Yep, thickness of the scales is the same. The difference you're feeling is in the tang thickness, not the scales.
You never know if a knife is right for you till you handle it. I would say your best option would be to sell or trade it if it's not right for you.
You will not hurt ESEE's feelings, they prefer their knives to be used, and if it is not comfortable to you, chances are you will not use it.
shaking hands with a 2x4 describes it perfectly. it's the square shoulders more than the thickness that bothered me with my rc-5. you can use sandpaper to round out the shoulders but it's going to take a lot of time without a belt sander though...even better, sell that one, get a junglas and don't look back.
nra | beckerhead #33 | rat pack #716
reviews: kifaru | osprey | evernew | goalzero | etc.
Two things. You can do what I did and also round off the edges even more, or, if you peel the spacer off the ESEE 6 scales, they will be thinner, you will just have to adjust the length of your retaining screws so they don't bump into each other in the middle of the knife.

Hope for Lindsey
The family and friends of Lindsey are uniting to raise money to help with her recovery after a severe stroke. Please show your support!
This page is dedicated to Lindsey Ledford, known to others as, "Lazer". A beautiful, genuine, fun-loving and free-spirited young woman. On Friday, May 17, 2013 Lindsey gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby girl, Jolene Helen Ledford. Born at 6:02 PM after 19 hours of labor. She weighed 8 lbs. 15 oz. and was 21 inches long! As any new Mommy, she was full of smiles this day and is head over heels with her new bundle of joy!
Six days later on the morning of Thursday, May 23, 2013, while at home with her husband Aaron and her newborn Jolene, Lindsey suffered from a severe stroke that consisted of brain hemorrhaging and a large blood clot on the left side of her brain. She was quickly rushed down the street toSaint Mary'shospital in Richmond, Virginia. Upon arrival, the incredible staff at St. Mary's immediately operated on her to stop the bleeding. She was then placed in a medically induced coma within the Intensive Care Unit to rest while the healing process began... 8 days later she woke up and began breathing on her own. After spending roughly 1 month at Sheltering Arms Memorial Regional rehabilitation center, she is now home with Aaron and Jolene and makes progress everyday.
Lindsey has a long uphill battle that cannot be won without the support from all her family, friends, and hopeful strangers. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Lindsey continues to fight and your prayers and support will be the driving force needed for her to succeed.

With Rahm Emanuel's "never let a crisis go to waste" in mind, my justifiable concern is that Progressives don't merely seek "gun control"; they seek "people control", which is precisely why their gun control arguments are so often mystifying, twisted, disingenuous, illogical, grossly ineffective, and dangerously farcical.
Without trampling the Constitution, there are eminently practical solutions to better safeguarding our children which do not involve disarming law-abiding citizens. For example, schools are currently "gun-free zones", an inane invention of the Left, which essentially renders schools "free fire zones" for armed evildoers. Like in Israeli border areas, one or two armed and trained staffers in each school would dramatically reduce or virtually eliminate the slaughter of innocents. Deterrence with the threat of deadly counterforce works!
If we follow what passes for liberal "logic", to reduce the preventable slaughter in our country across the board, then trains, airplanes, motor vehicles, knives, playgrounds, bows and arrows, stones, cribs and tire irons, among other lethal objects, should also be dramatically curtailed or altogether outlawed. Oh. And let's not forget doctors whose malpractice is responsible for nine times more deaths than gun homicides! Duh.
--Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria in On Crimes and Punishment (1764).

As per the latest buzz, the talented singer is indeed single and not dating anyone at the moment
Harry Styles is reportedly single after he ended his relationship with Kendall Jenner due to his heavy workload. The duo have been casually dating for a couple of months. However, their relationship fizzled out when the One Direction star told Jenner he didn't want anything too serious, reports a leading website. They also avoided each other while the reality TV star was in London for Fashion Week.
"Harry purposely didn't go to the Topshop show or have his planned party at The Box so people wouldn't speculate about him and Kendall. There were plenty of opportunities for them to meet up, but Harry went to the FA Cup game between Arsenal and Liverpool instead of seeing her," said a source.
"They got on but there wasn't enough spark to keep it going, especially as Harry is about to go on tour for six months. They would never have any time to see each other," the source added.

Just when I thought I'd run out of original gift ideas, I came across an illustrator who will draw a ridiculously cute picture of your kid along with his or her favorite possession. There's literally no kid's room that these illustrations wouldn't look good in.
The talented illustrator behind Unless Someone Like
You does custom
kids' art prints that feature a cherubic likeness of your child
along with their name. What you do is send her details like your child's
name, hair color and item they love.
She uses "archival pigment
print" which in layman's terms means it's acid-free, light-safe and will
last over 100 years in the frame without fading. Each print is the size
of a record album cover (remember those?).
As much as I'd like
to give this print to a deserving mom friend, I can't help but cover it
for myself. My older son is obsessed with his guitar and I can't help
but think how cute it would be to have a personalized drawing of him toting around his
little red axe. -Melissa

Meat is a groundbreaking exploration of the difficult environmental, ethical and social issues surrounding the human consumption of animals, and the future of livestock in sustainable agriculture. Garnering huge praise in the U.K., this book answers the question: Should we be farming animals, or not? The answer is not simple; indeed, we must decrease the amount of meat we eat (both for the planet and for ourselves), and the industrial meat system is hugely problematic. Even so, author Simon Fairlie presents in-depth research in favor of small-scale, holistic, and integrated farming systems that include pastured, free-range livestock as the answer to the pro-meat or no-meat debate. George Monbiot, for example, a well-known environmental activist and supporter of veganism, has retracted his support for veganism after reading Meat. This is a life-changing book.
The issues this book addresses — food security, first and foremost — are being undermined by entities demanding rules and regulations in food matters without enough knowledge. Meat fills these gaps, and Fairlie's data proves the solution is neither veganism nor our current model. In fact, Fairlie, a farmer in his own right, presents an agricultural and environmental theory that takes off where other work on vegetarianism and veganism have fallen short in their global scope. His research is based in deep permacultural theory, and a respect for natural systems that flourished long before corporate agriculture and animal factory farms. Most importantly, in the end, Fairlie shows humility in the face of unanswered questions — a rare and wonderful asset that has already invited global discussion among those who might otherwise sheer away from the topic. Meat is a crucial addition to the agricultural canon.

No steps/movements preceding the solo jump = -3, with required negative GOE overall. Break between the steps and the jump, or only one step/movement before the jump = -1 to -2 GOE, but positive factors can be combined to make 0 or positive GOE overall. Judges are usually quite generous about what constitutes a "skating movement" and what constitutes a "break."
At this point in time, I do prefer some of her competitors' short programs over this one. However, it has always taken me a while to warm up to each and every one of her competitive programs, with the exception of her Bond Medley SP and Homage to Korea FS. With that said, I think it's a perfectly adequate program, and I'm sure she'll polish it up in the weeks to come.
HD Picture of her dress - http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/Y...KVJjpNcFzx.jpg
I'm not a very big fan of the dress; I wasn't in the video, and I'm even more convinced of that looking at the picture. The yellow does nothing for her complexion, be it olive green, olive yellow, mustard yellow, mustard green, or whatever color you want to describe it as. I don't care much for it. I do like the design of the dress though, but I agree with other posters who say that this dress is not her best product of collaboration.
Yuna made a mistake on her double axel. Stop making excuses for her. She's human, she made a mistake. Let's move on and look towards the LP. I know I'm looking forward to that.
I like this program a lot, and her dress looks great to me, she will certainly stand out between all the red, black, purple and blues we are going to see in Sochi, and the cut is romantic.
What excuses are being made? At most some people are trying to read too hard into it (she's "off", she's "tired", etc.). All I'm thinking is she had a momentary lapse in concentration/focus. It happens. In fact she had a similar mistake back in 2008 Skate America SP: she nailed her 3/3 and solo triple, then actually fell on her 2Axel. No injuries or anything. Pure mistake.
Re: costume -- I didn't like the dress in the still photo linked, but I liked it in the program, except for the looseness at the wrists. But I liked the long sleeves overall and thought they accentuated her arms in a nice way, and that overall the dress presented nice outlines as she moved.
How can I make it sound like more than it was by just listing the steps she did? It's you who said "No steps going into it at all," which is making it sound like less than it was.
I don't consider a single 3-turn into a flip enough to count as the steps requirement since it's part of the jump setup. But I do consider the things I listed -- choctaw, rocker, mohawk, then the 3-turn into flip -- to be introductory steps. Not "zero."
Whichever way it goes, welcome Tana! Thanks for joining us.

Surreal Time in Anaheim
by Staff Writer / Anaheim DucksIn what had to be the strangest night in Anaheim Ducks history, the elation of a long-awaited victory was quickly replaced by the enormity of a major coaching change.
At 10:21 p.m. Pacific time last night -- almost exactly an hour after the Ducks snapped a seven-game losing streak with a triumphant 4-1 win over the visiting Canadiens -- the Ducks announced that head coach Randy Carlyle had been replaced by former Capitals coach Bruce Boudreau.
Despite the fact the announcement came well past bedtime in most of the hockey world, it spread like wildfire through social media and sports tickers throughout North America. It was a seemingly unprecedented move in which an NHL head coach was let go and immediately replaced by another established coach -- not a former assistant filling an interim role.
In Boudreau, the Ducks get a coach who had established himself among the NHL's best the past five seasons, a man made famous to America during a colorful stint on last year's HBO special 24/7 Penguins Capitals: The Road To the NHL Winter Classic. Boudreau, as it's already well-known, was let go by the Capitals on Monday after a rough 10-day stretch that Anaheim can certainly relate to.
But before we look ahead to the Boudreau era, we should look back to what Randy Carlyle meant to the Anaheim Ducks organization. He was the franchise's winningest coach with a 273-182-61 record highlighted by the team's only Stanley Cup title in 2007. In his six-plus seasons at the helm, he led the Ducks to the playoffs in five of them. For all of that, Ducks fans will be forever grateful.
But as Bob Murray said, the Ducks were in a position where "we simply felt a new voice was needed."
"This was an extremely difficult decision," Murray said in a statement released by the Ducks. "Randy is a terrific head coach, and did a tremendous job for us for six-plus seasons. We thank him greatly for his hard work and dedication to our franchise, not the least of which was a Stanley Cup championship. At this time, we simply felt a new voice was needed. Bruce is a proven winner with a great track record, and we are optimistic we can turn this season around under his leadership."
The impact that a mid-season coaching change can have in the NHL is well-documented. In 2009, Dan Bylsma was hired in February to take over a Pittsburgh Penguins team that was a middling 27-25-5. Four months later they won the Stanley Cup. The year before, Joel Quenneville took over the Blackhawks just four games into a highly anticipated season in which they started 1-2-1. They made it to the conference finals that season, and two years later they were lifting the Cup.
Boudreau himself already has his own mid-season success story. He was hired as Caps head coach on November 22, 2007, after the team had started 6-14-1 and were 30th in the NHL standings. He went 37-17-7 the rest of the season, and led the Capitals to the first of four straight Southeast Division titles.
Boudreau won the 2007-08 Jack Adams award (NHL Coach of the Year), led Washington to the 2009-10 Presidents' Trophy as the NHL's top club in the regular season and became the fastest coach in modern day NHL history to win 200 games.
Not long after the firing by the Caps, the Ducks asked Washington permission to contact Boudreau, who would have soon been highly coveted by other NHL teams looking to make their own changes at the helm. Soon after being let go by the Caps, Boudreau told the Washington Times he was ready to coach again immediately. "Absolutely. It's what I do," he said. "I love hockey and I love my job. Even when things are going bad, I love my job. I love going to work in the morning, and I feel comfortable when I'm behind my desk or behind the bench or talking to guys or being on the ice. It's something that I would relish doing."
That Ducks granted that wish, and in a hurry. Boudreau's last game coached with Washington was last Saturday. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the six-day span between games coached with two teams is the fastest in NHL history. (Meanwhile, all I keep thinking is, if you had told me a year ago that the colorful guy on the HBO 24/7 series would be the Ducks' coach in less than a year, I'd have asked for some of whatever you were drinking.)
Boudreau will be meeting a lot of Ducks for the first time today, but he does have connections to a couple of them already. He coached Andrew Gordon during the winger's four years in the Washington organization, and he coached George Parros when they were both with the AHL's Manchester Monarchs.
Boudreau brings with him former Syracuse Crunch (Anaheim's AHL affiliate) assistant coach Brad Lauer and at least one other assistant to be named, as Carlyle's termination also brought the dismissals of Assistant Coaches Dave Farrish, Mike Foligno and Video Coordinator Joe Trotta. Boudreau and his staff take over a Ducks team that, despite that gratifying victory last night, wakes up this morning with a 7-13-4 record, 14th in the Western Conference and 10 points out of a playoff spot.
But the dawn of December represents a fresh start for the Ducks in so many ways. It's a new (and crucial) month in the NHL calendar, a new coaching staff and -- with all due respect to the admirable cause that is Movember -- the welcomed disappearance of the mustaches and Jonas Hiller's goalie mask that represented a horrific month in which the Ducks won just twice.
Boudreau and Murray will both be part of a press conference later today following Boudreau's first Ducks practice at The Rinks - Anaheim ICE. We'll have complete coverage this afternoon.

Edited by Jan Dobbernack and Tariq Modood
This new book from the ACCEPT Pluralism project argues that with the ethnic, cultural and religious diversity that is a feature of European societies today, pluralism is experienced in new and challenging ways. In many places, an urban cosmopolitan mix sits side by side with group-based expressions of faith and culture. The debate about the types of 'acceptance' that these situations require tend to follow new patterns. Increasing openness and respect for some may rest upon a reinforced intolerance towards others. This complicates and challenges our understanding of what it means for societies to be accepting, tolerant or respectful of cultural diversity in its various forms. This volume seeks to meet this challenge with perspectives that consider new dynamics towards tolerance, intolerance and respect.

Ethnic Citizenship Regimes
Aleksandra Maatsch
National citizenship is still the last bastion of states' sovereignty, meaning that EU institutions cannot exercise any direct influence on national citizenship legislation in the EU member states. On the other hand, the process of political integration in the EU, international human rights' development and globalization are claimed to have indirectly challenged states' exclusive competences in that legal area. This book sheds light on the processes that have transformed national citizenship of the European Union's member states and explains the legislative changes that have taken place since the mid-1980s in Germany, Hungary and Poland.

text: A young man looking to make an honest dollar finds himself becoming a lust object for both men and women in this "macho dancer" melodrama from the Philippines. Dwight (Tyron Perez) is a handsome man in his early twenties who, needing cash to help support his family, takes a job dancing in a gay bar, where he shakes his moneymaker with a bevy of other good-looking guys. While Dwight is dating a neighborhood girl who goes to college, he soon falls under the spell of Madame Loca (Cherry Pie Picache), a wealthy and middle-aged businesswoman with a taste for younger men. Bert (Lauren Novero), Madame Loca's driver, was once a dancer who became her lover and tries to warn Dwight about her scheming ways, to no avail. Meanwhile, Alfred (Allen Dizon) is a dancer who at 28 is getting too old to face the competition; he's looking for a "real" job to provide for his wife and kids, but he's still reluctant to give up the spotlight, and his on-again, off-again relationship with Dwight only intensifies his feelings of anger and helplessness. Twilight Dancers received its North American premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
