christiangirl4evr1 Stars Out Of 5WolfsbaneDecember 30, 2014christiangirl4evrQuality: 1Value: 1Meets Expectations: 1This review was written for Wolfsbane, Discarded Heroes Series #3.I had high expectations for this book ( 3rd in the series) after reading the second book in this series. I was extremely disappointed! Not only was the premise the same - boy meets girl, boy falls in love with girl, girl goes on mission with him, boy has to protect girl - but it was actually boring. I did not like 3 things about this book. 1. God was not integrated through the whole story. There were occasional references to Him, but He was not a part of the storyline. 2. It was very unrealistic in that while on the mission, Canyon and Dani are separated and are running for their lives. After the enemy catching up to them twice, WHY would you stop at a town you come to and get a hotel room???? You get supplies and keep moving. No, they got a hotel room where they had sex. No, no, no! And after that, a lot of the book kept both of them thinking about what happened. 3. Dani's character was developed to be a strong person after all she endured at the hands of Bruzon, yet near the end, she still continued to accept gifts and attention from the brother she did not love, after telling Canyon that she loved him. So not the character of the woman. In essence, I was extremely disappointed...

What could be worse than falling for the girl your brother wants? Determined not to make the same mistake twice, Canyon struggles to stay away from Roarke. Yet Roarke find that she much prefers Canyon over his little brother. Add in some Venezuelan terrorists determined to kill Roarke and build nuclear weapons. Then see how the Nightshade team handles the pressure and the drama of Canyon battling against his feelings for Roarke. The result is explosive action and a great book that you cannot put down.

Ronie Kendig
Having escaped a brutal Venezuelan general, demolitions expert Danielle Roark fights her way back to the States, only to be charged with espionage. When she's forced to return to the jungle to prove her innocence, she finds herself intentionally left behind. What secret does she have worth killing for? Haunted, former Green Beret Canyon Metcalfe is fighting off nightmares of a operation gone bad. When he's thrown back into the jungle on a Nightshade mission, he must push the memories aside to rescue Dani. Will he lose another woman to the cruelty of warfare?
I was immediately drawn into this story. The characters were believable and the story was well written. I enjoyed the Metcalfe family and the believability of the difficult nature of the events that Danielle had gone through there were parts that were challenging to follow until about ý way through the story and this mad following the action a hindrance at times. I thought that the similarities of experience between the main characters were played subtle until they were resolved. It was a great nail biting story that was worth following until the end.
I would like to thank Net Galley and Barbour Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone. -

Phew, what a great read! What an action, suspense, adrenaline filled read!
Everytime I read another book by Ronie Kendig I'm convinced it was her best yet.
Canyon Metcalfe is a guy I could easily love. Maybe because he's a bit like my husband. :) None of his problems are related to my husband, but the way he handles things is alike, so that tells a lot about Ronie's excellent imagination!
Danielle Roark was captured, tormented and raped in Venezuela. She escaped with shocking proof that the cruel general that kept her for six months has nuclear weapons, but at home the American government doesn't believe her. She has to go back to that awful place to come up with more proof.
Canyon's brother rescued Danielle out of the ocean when she escaped Venezuela. He falls in love with Dani, but she's not interested in men... until she meets Canyon. Canyon likes her too, but because of a promise he made to his brother he can't pursue her. Things get complicated when Nightshade is the team that escort Danielle back to Venezuela. Can Canyon live up to that promise?
Is Nightshade capable to find the proof and keep Danielle save?
This book is so fast paced that you hardly have time to take a calming breath before the next action.
Action, adventure, military, suspense and romance lovers - this book is for you! -

The evil presented did not disturb me. But the flipant role of God in the lives of every character did.

Jade Jagger Hosts Hot 100 Bars & Clubs Party
Socialite Jade Jagger is one of the most important names on the party circuit throughout the world.
After making a huge success of her Jezebel brand, the 40-year-old decided to hop on a plane to Dubai and host our Hot 100 Bars & Clubs party at PEOPLE by Crystal.
Jade is not only renowned for her party organising but also her exquisite jewellery designs and modelling campaigns.
She has two teenage daughters, Assisi and Amba, and is, of course, the daughter of Rolling Stone legend Mick Jagger.
Now, after making a global smash of her Jezebel empire, we are more than just a little bit excited to have the party queen on our doorstep.
Jade couldn't contain her excitement at being here either, "It's always exciting to come to Dubai. I have been many times. I love the energy, the flavour and of course the fine weather." She said. "It's a wonderful combination of so many cultures, and a city in motion. I look forward to meeting my many friends, and boutiques I work with as well, as of course hosting this Jezebel event with Ahlan!."
What's more, Jade is over-the-moon to be associated with our world famous Hot 100 brand and can't think of a better match than Ahlan! and Jezebel.
Jade says, "Ahlan! is such a great and creative magazine and it's great to be working with a brand that me and Jezebel have such synergy, I'm honoured to be invited."
"This is a great opportunity for us and I would love to do more Jezebel parties in Dubai, it's such a great city, I hope you have us back soon."
It must always be tough to come from such a famous family. Her dad Mick is a notorious rocker and party don while her mother Bianca is a well-known human rights advocate.
Jade says of her family, "Coming from a large family such as mine has always been a great treasure. It has inspired me to see what an amazing man my father is, and what an inspiration he is to not only me but the world. He is a great father to me and my many siblings and we are a tight-knit close family that like to spend time together."
"Sometimes it feels like people assume that I only got where I am because of my parents. But, in my heart, I know that this is not true. It has taken inspiration, hard work and perseverance. I feel proud of my achievements and excited as not only Jezebel my music brand, but my Jade Jagger jewellery continues to grow."
Having such a famous father must have had an effect on how Jade brings up her own children and she can't emphasise enough how close she is to her two daughters and how far they have come.
Jade adds, "Even though they're growing up fast we all spend a lot of time together. Assisi is studying science at Middlesex University and I'm very proud of her. Amba, my younger daughter, is finishing her A-levels now after doing very well in her GCSEs. I've always placed a lot of importance on the family."
"Assisi is interested in homeopathy and studying hard, she doesn't have much time to go out at the moment and I'm so proud of her. Amba is following her love of fashion and spent the summer doing couture courses at Central St Martins."
Jade clearly knows what's important in life but she's also very business minded and is totally switched on to the lucrative market of Ibiza themed parties, weekend mash-ups and spin-off brands like her hugely successful jewellery range, Apollo and Arrows.
Jade says, "We've been doing parties all over the world, which has been exciting and fun, we're working on a compilation CD and hope to release it early next year. I always look forward to finding new talent and playing the newest freshest sounds."
"I'm just back from fashion week in New York where I launched my new jewellery collections Apollo and Arrows. They were well received and it was exciting to start working in New York again as it was once my home and a place I always find very vibrant and exciting."
Jade was a delight to have here in Dubai, hosting our Hot 100 Bars & Clubs party, and although she was criticised over her body weight, after being snapped on holiday in Spain last week, it certainly won't stop her sunbathing in the UAE.
She adds, "I try not to take criticism too personally, after all it's only one persons perspective." Good on you Jade!

Lesson 5: If one of your posse shoots up a town, it'll be your face on the wanted posters
The 'Young Guns II' rule.
One of the advantages big companies have is that they can usually achieve clean breaks: The Redner Group was clearly identified as an external provider of PR services to Take 2 International. The smaller the business, the more friable these barriers may become.
At the time of writing, the phone number on N-Control's "Contact Us" page still goes through to Paul Christoforo's answering message. This is not surprising - often small companies will provide a number that forwards to a contractor's phone, or just use his number. However, it shows that it is harder to untangle a business from actions performed in its name.
Shortly after the story broke, the Amazon page for the Avenger Controller began to be bombed by one-star reviews. Some of these blamed delays in delivery, many were honest in stating that they were posting in response to the Ocean Marketing blow-up. An average rating of 1.5 stars, regardless of their provenance, is a dangerous thing for a games console to have on Amazon.
At the same time, the brand narrative of the product has been dented by the discovery of a registered company with Kotkin - the philanthropic art teacher - and Christoforo named as officers. The new Marketing Manager for N-Control, Eli Schwartz (update - Eli Schwartz apparently appointed himself Marketing Manager; this title was not conferred by N-Control - see the update at the end of the piece for more detail), has been quick to communicate that this was an idea for a charitable foundation that never went beyond the name.
In fact, N-Control have handled this pretty well - they have acted quickly, moved to disassociate, identified the ongoing problem (Amazon-bombing and brand contamination) and moved to deal with them. The only mistake they made was in giving someone a gun without realising how quickly the Internet can shoot back. Unfortunately, that was enough. On Amazon right now, user after user is pasting up their own "unwanted" poster.

Forced Labor
Int'l Treaty Will Help End Forced Labor
For most of us, it's hard to imagine working seven days a week, sometimes until 3AM, cooking, cleaning and taking care of children. It's even harder to imagine doing it for far below the minimum wage, with no overtime pay and without the ability to see a doctor or go out to dinner with friends. But it's downright impossible to imagine doing it without access to your ID or passport, living in fear of deportation if you ran, but certain exploitation if you stayed. If your employer was a diplomat or other official, would people even believe you?
This is the situation that Lucy Mwaka described to the community-based organization Casa de Maryland when she escaped in April after four years of alleged exploitation in the home of a Kenyan diplomat in the United States. After various attempts to reach her employer through her attorney, Lucy has led two delegations to the Embassy of Kenya and is now asking for public support through a petition. Lucy's story follows patterns of exploitation by diplomats and international officials that are familiar to many domestic workers. Last winter, Indian consular officer Devyani Khobragade was indicted for visa fraud in New York City. The benign-sounding charge was somewhat misleading: the indictment charged severe exploitation of Sangeeta Richard, the domestic worker she employed, including intimidation and brutally long hours with extremely low pay.
Stories such as Lucy's and Sangeeta's are not new to most member organizations of the National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), some of whom have been working directly on the issue of trafficking and exploitation of domestic workers for years. In 2011, NDWA took the fight to the global level and helped found the International Domestic Workers Federation (IDWF), which successfully campaigned for the passage and ratification of Convention 189. This convention became the first to specifically address global labor standards for domestic workers, who are widely excluded from national and international labor laws.
This month in Geneva, through the leadership of the AFL-CIO, national and international organizations like NDWA, IDWF, the National Guestworker Alliance and Human Rights Watch helped negotiate a new International Labor Organization (ILO) Protocol on forced labor that creates rules for governments and employers on prevention, protection and restitution for victims. On June 11, the ILO adopted this new international treaty, and now it needs to be ratified by member countries.
Domestic workers subjected to forced labor and human trafficking face widespread abuse at the hands of employers and recruitment agencies, including lack of pay, long hours, false contracts, emotional/physical/sexual abuse, isolation from family and having their passports and visas taken. Women make up more than 83% of the more than 50 million domestic workers worldwide.
Many are migrants who are coerced through immigration-based threats, even if they're on legal work visas like Lucy and Sangeeta. If they leave, they are at once homeless, jobless and "illegal." Compounding the problem, there is a pervasive societal discounting of domestic work as not "real work," which means they are sometimes excluded from labor laws and politically invisible.
This global disregard for the value of domestic work, has been brought to light recently by the success of the IDWF. While Thailand was the only country to vote against the new Protocol, several countries in the Gulf region – like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Oman – abstained rather than supporting it. Not coindentally, these Gulf countries are the recipients of huge numbers of migrant domestic workers from places like Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines – and have had numerous cases of abuse, rape and labor exploitation reported in international media.
On June 6, as they gathered for the ILO discussions, the IDWF delivered a letter to the Qatari government noting the serious human rights abuses of migrant domestic workers in Qatar documented by the UN, and urged them to take steps including ratifying the relevant Conventions and abolishing the kafala sponsorship system.
The new ILO Protocol paves the way for governments to re-examine what they can do to address and prevent forced labor in every sector, but it's only a first step. The Protocol itself is broad and includes provisions for education and outreach, and strengthening the coverage of labor laws and the role of labor inspectors to better reach those at risk of forced labor. The Protocol also prioritizes victim identification and rehabilitation, and access to remedies like compensation, so that victims can begin healing as soon as they escape or are rescued.
The ILO also voted to attach a Recommendation, which has more direct suggestions, such as the elimination of recruitment fees (which can lead to debt bondage), orientation for migrants about their rights, and protection from retaliation for immigrant victims who organize and exercise their rights. For worker organizations, the Recommendation can serve as a menu of policy ideas they can push for with their governments, since many countries already offer the most basic protections covered in the Protocol.
In the US, the new Protocol and Recommendation will be used to push for partnerships among worker groups, the Department of State, and Department of Labor to better monitor the working conditions of domestic workers. It will also help groups demand greater accountability for diplomats and international officials who violate workers' rights, and improved services for survivors, including more efficient access to immigration relief, work authorization and social services.
Just passing the new ILO Protocols and Recommendations will not be the final step to ensuring domestic worker rights. But these treaties do shine an international spotlight on the crisis of forced labor and human trafficking and should inspire domestic workers to organize and fight for recognition and respect. Widespread ratification, implementation and worker-led enforcement organizing and outreach has the potential to transform individuals and societies, and newly recruited leaders like Lucy and Sangeeta will likely be holding the banner.
Tiffany Williams is the director of Break the Chain Campaign at the Institute for Policy Studies, and the coordinator of the Beyond Survival campaign of the National Domestic Workers Alliance.

Chromie, the little champion of the Bronze Dragonflight, is quite possibly one of the most polarizing figures in World of Warcraft. You love her or you hate her. She's either adorably awesome, or irritatingly stupid. I, for one, hate her because I had to do her quests in Andorhal before they completely redesigned that part of the zone to suck less. My girlfriend thinks Chromie is the greatest thing since sliced bread. There's something you should know, though. Chromie is a man. Well, probably.
How can I make such outlandish accusations? Well, have you run Caverns of Time: The Culling of Stratholme? At the very end, you'll see that Chromie's Dragon form sports a pretty thick beard. More importantly than that, Chromie's Draconic name is Chronormu. Following the naming scheme of the Bronze Dragonflight, names ending with -ormu are male, and -ormi are female. The exceptions being those ending with -os (male) and -a (female) which are general dragon naming schemes. Were Chromie indeed a female, her name would be Chronormi and not Chronormu.
Chromie is a man. A man, or a woman who had very cruel parents.

Gang activity reached such a deadly point in the warm months of 1993 that law enforcement agencies around the state refer to it as the "summer of violence." Brothers David and Anthony Carrillo, Phillip Michael Montoya, and three of their gang brethren got in on it when they fatally shot Chris Romo through the bedroom window of his Pueblo home. All the men were teenagers at the time, and Montoya and David Carillo remain imprisoned, possibly for life, a fate the Chieftain explores in a package called Life Without Parole.
Last week, state legislators unsuccessfully attempted to push forth a law that would offer parole to Colorado's 48 inmates who were incarcerated for life when they were juveniles. (In 2006, the Legislature passed a bill making 40 years the maximum sentence a juvenile could receive—but it didn't apply to the lifers already locked up.) Among those testifying against the measure were members of the Romo family, but the bill's bipartisan sponsors are hopeful they can use a rare tactic to save it. It's unlikely, but the ongoing politics surrounding Colorado's summer of violence have taken unpredictable turns (CSIndy).

Implications of WTO disciplines for special economic zones in developing countries
Many developing countries operate geographically delineated economic areas in the form of export processing zones, special industrial zones, or free trade zones. This paper provides an overview of the application of World Trade Organization disciplines to incentive programs typically employed by developing countries in connection with such special economic zone programs. The analysis finds that the disciplines under the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures have the most immediate relevance for middle-income World Trade Organization members that are not exempt for certain"grandfathered"programs, but will also concern other developing countries in the future, as their exemption expires or their per-capita income passes a threshold of US$1,000. Incentives related to special economic zones can be broadly grouped into three categories: (i) measures that are consistent with the World Trade Organization, notably exemptions from duties and taxes on goods exported from special economic zones; (ii) measures that are prohibited or subject to challenge under World Trade Organization law, notably export subsidies and import substitution or domestic content subsidies; and (iii) and measures where World Trade Orgainzation consistency depends on the facts of the particular case. The paper provides a set of recommendations on how to eliminate questionable incentives. The single most important zone policy reform to achieve World Trade Organization compliance is to remove all requirements to export and permit importation of goods manufactured in special economic zones into the national customs territory without any restrictions other than the application of import duties and taxes.

President-elect Obama:
Can I ask for a position for Prof. Robert Reich, Clinton's former secretary of labor? He likes to tell the truth and you will need it in your administration. Thanks! BTW, we don't know each other, but I do admire the man's character and intelligence.
Thank goodness. In addition to not having to listen to the
Bush ramblings any more, we will also not have to listen to Dana Perino lie for him. America may have finally gotten it right-let's pray it isn't too late!
Robert gibbs is a great man . i know he will be a great press secretary
As long as he stops putting former clinton administration people in his, as well as keeps people like the former NY Treasury Secretary out, he might do ok, but the way things are going, he's gonna pull the same / more stuff that clinton did, and contrary to popular belief President Bill Clinton, his administration, and the Democrats are what caused this economic crisis.
Presidential effects on an economy lag 4-10 years behind their implementation of economic plans, and Clinton had nothing to do with the surplus of the 90s. That came entirely from Reagan and Bush Sr's economic plans.
If it weren't for GW Bush's tax cuts, we would have had this crisis start around the time they were implemented, but instead it was staved off for some time and could have been averted but alas, it was not.
You people suggesting names for the Supreme Court- you DO know that there first has to be a VACANCY on the Supreme Court before Obama can even nominate anyone, don't you??? And then the nominee has to be approved by Congress. Right now there are no vacancies.
Gibbs rocks!
He's the one that took it to Hannity... "Sean, are you an anti-semite?"
That was the greatest thing in cable news since it was invented.
Go Gibbs!
@No Hillary-No Obama:
Are you still around? Get some therapy. Obama is President-elect, ok? Hillary has moved on. If you approached Hillary in the street, she would run. You ooze lunatic.
Hey i am not seeing so many blacks as i expected ....
where are the blacks??
If only the country and especially the media had done as good a job at vetting Obama as his handlers are doing with his Clintoneesta cabinet members, maybe, just maybe we would have been spared this downturn in our democracy.
this guy has only appointed 2 minorities to his cabinet,and it was the minorities that elected him along with liberal whites,78% of the people who voted for him was either minorities or liberal whites,only 22% of his voters was moderate democrats,but his cabinet so far has only 2 minorities and no liberials,is this the change he was talking about.
Finally a choice I like.
I'd like to see Obama bring in some of his technology team from his campaign to stop the cyber attacks on our defense systems, and other critical departments.
Obama, how about some MIT students?
With as much scrutiny that the RW media/pundits are going to throw at President Elect Obama, he will need the best team in order for Obama's plans to be communicated appropriately so that there is no room for the pundits to spin it. I'm happy with all the picks so far.
The president-elect is brilliant. He carefully selects intelligent people to work with him. The selection of his cabinet has been cautious, expeditious and intelligent.
Due to his selections and his intelligence, I look for him to be one of the most outstanding presidents in history. My fellow Americans, give him some time and you will see a turnaround in our present situation!!!
I was not an Obama supporter but I'm slowly feeling better about his win. My biggest regret about the win was that a great man like John McCain had to lose to make it happen. But Obama may turn out to be a good president. I'm approving of his cabinet picks as they seem centrist for the most part. I'm happy that he's getting advice from experienced politicians of both parties. I approve of Hillary as SoS. Obama is on track to practice the unity that he preaches. Now if only we could have Defense Secretary McCain, the political world would be perfect.
Gibbs is an excellent choice!
No Hillary = No Obama November 22nd, 2008 5:40 pm ET
Guess what – this is not going to be the most open Presidency with transparent accountablity as people think. I think people are going to be surpised at how tightly bolted down Obama's reign will be. It will be another same old.
I can't say I disagree with this person. I doubt this will be the most open Presidency. Afterall, they do say, the way a candidate runs his/her campaign is how they will run their administration.
What about the job creation plan?
This morning President-elect Obama mentioned that he will create new jobs by reconstructing tumbled roads, bridges, etc. Where does the money come from? Also, reconstruction of roads-bridges will take 1/2/3 years. After that what happens to these workers? Break the roads-bridges and reconstruct those again? This is just a band-aid solution and lacks vision.
Is that Ellen Moran close to Moron?
The first thing on Mr. Gibbs agenda ,would be buying a suit monday morning ,and for goodness sake get some suspenders....
Hey Bridget from New Mexico, as to where will the money come from? Probably from the 10 billion a month we are spending on this war Iraq! At least Obama wants to improve and fix things over here in the US. I can't wait till President Obama takes the job. What a breath of fresh air it will be from the last 8 years! President Bush and his administration have dug are country into a deep hole! Obama is sorrounding himself with some very intelligent people. (unlike bush)
Gibbs is the same man who tore Limbaugh and Hannity to pieces – this is going to be good ole fashion, slap their faces when they spew non-sense politics!!!
No Hillary=No Obama...You will never be satisfied....Rock on Pres. Elect you are the right man for the job!!!! 08' 12' YES WE CAN!!!!

In the wake of disrespect shown to one of the University of Mississippi's most notable symbols of unity, the effort to make the incident into a "teachable moment" may be missing something.
Two males reportedly looped a noose and a defunct Georgia flag, dominated by the Confederate battle flag, over the statue of James Meredith. The lone eyewitness reportedly also heard the two boys/men using racist epithets.
Meredith, of course, was the man who broke the color barrier at Ole Miss despite deadly riots at his enrollment and ongoing hostility throughout his matriculation.
As usual in any racially charged situation, people scurried to counter the sullying of the university's reputation.
Administrators denounced the words and actions of the offenders and declared their views have no place at the university.
Students of every color gathered, sharing "never again" vows in words, symbols and embraces.
Social media posts have often reflected the same sentiments, with students, alumni, friends and even folks with no ties to the university expressing solidarity with Ole Miss' efforts to eradicate racism on the campus.
Law enforcement people vow to catch the perpetrators, even offering the threat of federal hate crime prosecution to make the lesson stick.
The stupidity and meanness of the noose and flag are inarguable, but the value of the reactions deserves examination.
For one, charging these degenerates with a federal hate crime may prove the university's outrage, but it also might give those charged a legal and media forum to claim their act is constitutionally protected political expression. As much as the university may value diversity and respect, the idea of defending the rights of disagreeable people ostensibly also is one of its values.
For another, a more reserved response may actually generate less incentive for such behaviors to be repeated.
In my high school, one nerdy instructor who was a master of his subject matter consistently reacted with open frustration and amusing anger to interruptions. Mischief makers took great pleasure in getting this teacher's goat, because he made it so eminently gettable. Meanwhile, wiser educators learned to ignore or quickly deflect the attention-seeking behaviors.
Handholding and speeches and vows may be a perfectly appropriate response to some offenses. Criminal charges, too, sometimes.
But outrageous people often feed on the outrage of others.
In such a case, restraint on the part of the well-intended may send the loudest message.
It's worth considering, anyway.

A Rough Sunday At Peekskill
Paul Robeson was giving a concert. It ended in a riot that foreshadowed the McCarthy era of the 1950's
April 1976 | Volume 27, Issue 3
The first "Peekskill riot" left the attackers cocky, the local victims fearful for their safety, and New York City's leftist community determined to assert itself. In Harlem's Golden Gate Ballroom on August 30, a capacity crowd heard Robeson call Peekskill a "historic turning point in the anti-Fascist struggle in America" and a conclusive answer to "those like Mrs. [Eleanor] Roosevelt who think I had better 'just sing.'" Communist Party leader Ben Davis announced a follow-up concert and added ominously: "Let them touch a hair of Paul Robeson's head, and they'll pay a price they never calculated."
Leftists on Mt. Airy Road and its environs heartily approved the plan for a second concert and formed a committee to help implement it, but they prudently looked after themselves as well. Mt. Airy men organized a patrol to drive around the area watching for sneak attacks, since according to rumor certain houses were to be set on fire. According to another rumor the postman serving the Mt. Airy Road section was a spy, turning in to the veterans' organizations the names of residents who were receiving "Communist" literature.
State and county officials, caught bysurprise, issued temporizing statements and promised thorough investigations of the events. The veterans' groups did not temporize. Flushed with victory, they announced that they would oppose the second concert with a second protest demonstration. The Westchester County Jewish War Veterans engaged in heated debate over the demonstrations, but eventually gave them their sanction (although the jwv state commander warned that any member found to be involved would be court-martialled); in other veterans' organizations few dissenting voices were heard. If the veterans needed further stimulation, the county district attorney provided it: he announced that pamphlets on the Soviet Union and two Communist Party collection boxes had been found at Lakeland Acres after the abortive concert. In Peekskill and neighboring towns a slogan appeared in store windows and on automobile bumpers: "Wake Up America—Peekskill Did!"
The Robesonites, who needed a new concert site, found a defunct country club known as Hollow Brook, located about a mile from Lakeland Acres. The man who owned Hollow Brook, Stephen D. Szego, himself became a target. Two days before the concert a volley of bullets was fired into Szego's house, and four attempts were made to set it afire. A few hours after the concert a section of the house was burned. Throughout the following week Szego received dozens of threatening phone calls.
While the Communist Party and sympathetic groups in New York City drummed up enthusiasm for the concert—scheduled for Sunday, September 4—left-leaning labor unions devised a plan for its defense. The task of safeguarding Robeson arid an anticipated twenty thousand concertgoers was given to Leon Straus of the International Fur and Leather Workers Union, who had won a battlefield commission in World War n. Straus and a staff representing a half dozen other unions arrived at Hollow Brook early on the morning of the concert and began deploying their troops, mainly union members who had been bused from the city but also resident leftists from the Peekskill-Croton area.
Governor Dewey, a middle-of-theroad Republican, ordered the assignment of two hundred and fifty state patrolmen plus several hundred deputy sheriffs from around Westchester. All were to be armed, and Dewey announced that he would hold county officials "strictly accountable" for the cops' "full performance of their duty." Along with the New York Times and other reputedly enlightened commentators, the governor invariably mentioned Robeson's odious views while saying he must be allowed to express them—a posture that may have satisfied technical requirements for impartiality but did little to cool the patriotic fires of the protesters.
Sunday turned up warm and sunny, and protected by Leon Straus's perimeter guards and the small army of police, an estimated fifteen thousand people poured onto the Hollow Brook grounds. They seemed nervous but happy, if not exuberant, as if they felt they were demonstrating the efficacy of the honored American right of free assembly. Outside, on the highway, perhaps a thousand veterans and their followers—far fewer than the protest organizers had predicted—paraded and milled about. They shouted insults at buses and automobiles entering the concert grounds and threw stones at a few of them. The police prevented large-scale attacks, and as the concert proceeded they repeatedly pushed back groups trying to force their way onto the grounds. At the concert the only annoyance was occasional buzzing by a low-flying police helicopter. The crowd basked in the September sun and listened halfattentively to the opening portions of the program. A pianist played pieces by Prokofiev and Ravel. A soprano sang. Folk singer Pete Seeger, then gaining notoriety as a "Red," strummed a couple of banjo tunes.

I can't believe this happened in our neighborhood last night...
I became aware of a problem this morning on my way to work. My wife and I were both in the car when I reached up to turn on my 'radar detector'...gone...and at the same time, my wife was going through the CD folder which she had found on the seat when she entered the car. She was wondering to herself why I had not put in back in the dash...which has a little shelf built in for it.
I said, "Hey, where's my radar detector?" She said, "Maybe it fell on the floor." I was thinking...NO WAY...but I reached for my 'expensive' multi-cell mag light to look on the floor...gone! (Not the floor, the mag light...)
Some of the CD's were missing, but all the Christian music was still there...mmmmmmmm...mmmmmmm..."Oh my gosh!" (not my exact words)...were were robbed.
Now we live in a brand new subdivision with about 200 houses...a great little nieghborhood with only three entrances/exits. As best as we could figure, my wife was out in the car last night at 9 p.m. to gather her school stuff...she remembers not locking the door (for the first time) because her hands were full, and hey, what's going to happen here? We were up at 5 a.m. and loading the car by 6 a.m.
Aparently, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m...we lost about $500 dollars worth of items. I called the sheriff's department and found out that we were one of 10! Apparently, this has been going on for a couple of weeks, even with stepped up partols.
Yep, my wife should have locked the car...but just down the road, one car was a 'smash and grab', so maybe it was best that the car WAS unlocked, at least I don't have to replace a window.
The deputy was just at our home for a short time...and was off to take other reports in the neighborhood. The deputy did tell me that there would be some unmarked vehicles parked in our neighboorhood, during the middle of the night, for a few days.
I'm sure this has happened to some of your neighborhoods, too! It is a very odd feeling...like your personal space has been violated. I don't expect to get anything back, but that's ok...it's only 'stuff', and I've never seen a U-Haul behind a hearse yet...so I can let that go. It's the idea of the next step...a home broken into...or a person harmed.
Needless to say, I am planning on some late night observations for the next few nights.
I certainly hope the 'greedy dirtbags' get caught, but in reality...probably not!
Just felt like sharing...
Enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend.

Melissa Lee, a Haslam Scholar majoring in Integrative Neuroscience through the College Scholars Program, was named a 2013 Goldwater Scholar. The 2013 Goldwater Scholars were selected based upon academic merit from a field of 1,107 students studying mathematics, science, and engineering, all of whom were nominated by the faculties of colleges and universities nationwide. Those awarded will receive up to $7,500 per year for tuition, fees, books, and room and board.
Lee is a fourth year Haslam Scholar majoring in Integrative Neuroscience, which combines neurobiology with disciplines such as philosophy and poetry through the College Scholars Program. She has worked in Dr. Rebecca Prosser's laboratory in the Department of Biochemistry, Cellular, and Molecular Biology since her freshman year, studying the localization and temporal expression patterns of extracellular proteins in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the brain. She is also studying the effects of acute social defeat stress on proteins within the basolateral amygdala of mice in collaboration with Dr. Matthew Cooper's laboratory in the Department of Psychology. In the fall of 2013, Melissa spent 5 months in Dr. Isabelle Mansuy's laboratory at the Brain Research Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, studying the miRNA regulation of memory formation.
In her freshman year, Melissa, along with fellow Haslam Scholar, Mark Remec, founded the Undergraduate Research Students' Association, which aims to help better connect students and faculty members into undergraduate research positions, create an undergraduate research community, and promote undergraduate research. She is the principal organizer of the Annual Undergraduate Research Symposium and is editor-in-chief of Pursuit: The Journal of Undergraduate Research. She sits on the Undergraduate Research Student Advisory Committee as well as the Carnegie Application Advisory Committee and represented UT as a student ambassador at the Inaugural SEC Symposium in early 2013.

After hearing so much about the infamous Koch Brothers across election season, you may still be wondering: Exactly who are this billionaire duo, and exactly how did they start buying and selling democracy?
Tonight, Dec. 2, Progress Texas will be hosting a special screening Koch Brothers Exposed. That's the latest work by documentarian/provocateur Robert Greenwald, who has previously targeted war profiteering (Iraq for Sale), Rupert Murdoch's media empire (Outfoxed) and the impact of big box stores Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price).
Even their fiercest enemies have to admit that the Koch Brothers have been geniuses at going state-by-state to inflict their anti-worker, anti-regulation, anti-democratic agenda. Without their cash, catspaw organizations like Americans for Prosperity would just be fringe letter-writing campaigns: Instead, they're fringe groups with ranking Republicans like Attorney General Greg Abbott on speed dial. So, to tie the night to state politics, the screening will be followed by a special discussion between Progress Texas Political Director Phillip Martin, Rep. Garnet Coleman, D-Houston, and, yes, yours truly, representing the media.
Koch Brothers Exposed screens at 6.30pm, Dec. 2, at Alamo South Lamar, 1120 S. Lamar. Admission is free for sustaining members of Progress Texas: Tickets for non-sustaining members are $20, but that includes $10 credit toward food and drink.
More details at progresstexas.org. Tickets available now via the Alamo Drafthouse.

Compatibility Matrix: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Components, Release 5.x
Revised: March 16, 2009 9:43 am, OL-12299-06This document lists the latest supported version combinations of Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server and the other Cisco Unified MeetingPlace components.
For upgrades, we recommend that you upgrade at the same time Audio Server and all other component software in use. Version combinations listed as supported in this document have been tested together. Although we attempt to maintain backward compatibility with new releases, it is not possible to test all version combinations. As a result, we cannot support version combinations that are not listed in this document.
If you upgrade Cisco Unified MeetingPlace components at different times, you do so at your own risk. If you call Cisco TAC with a problem, an engineer may require that you upgrade components to a supported combination if the versions are out of synchronization.
For components upgraded at different times, we recommend that you respect the logical dependency order among the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace components:
1. Audio Server.
2. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace components dependent on Audio Server: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace MeetingTime, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing, Network Backup Gateway, H.323/SIP IP Gateway, Directory Services, and SMTP E-Mail Gateway.
3. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace components dependent on Web Conferencing: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Outlook, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Lotus Notes, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace for Jabber, and Video Integration.
Note Certain versions of some components have a hard requirement to be upgraded at the same time. Refer to the applicable readme file or release notes for each component to understand component dependencies before installing or upgrading.

COROLLA, NC (AP) — Officials on the northern Outer Banks say five-foot bike paths along N.C. 12 are attracting visitors.
The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported the area from Manteo to Corolla has spent nearly $7 million in state and local funds to add the bike lanes.
A state study of cycling's impact on the northern Outer Banks shows nearly 700,000 people ride bikes and spend about $60 million each year. Three-fourths of those surveyed said they wanted more bike paths.
Local officials want to make the Outer Banks and northeastern North Carolina a destination for bicycle riders. But it costs about $1 million for one mile of bike paths.
Matt Wood with the state transportation board says the state agency has about $6 million for bike and pedestrian lanes for the entire state.

Making regression tables simplified
estout, introduced by Jann (Stata Journal 5: 288–308), is a useful tool for producing regression tables from stored estimates. However, its syntax is relatively complex and commands may turn out long even for simple tables. Furthermore, having to store the estimates beforehand can be cumbersome. To facilitate the production of regression tables, I therefore present here two new commands called eststo and esttab. eststo is a wrapper for official Stata's estimates store and simplifies the storing of estimation results for tabulation. esttab, on the other hand, is a wrapper for estout and simplifies compiling nice- looking tables from the stored estimates without much typing. I also provide updates to estout and estadd. Copyright 2007 by StataCorp LP.

The Game Will Keep You Humble
by Lonnie Herman / Tampa Bay LightningIf you're looking for Tom Kurvers, new assistant general manager for the Tampa Bay Lightning, don't expect to find him in his office at the St. Pete Times Forum. While it is possible to catch up with him there, the better percentage play is to try an airport terminal, rental car counter or to simply look for a guy sitting in the darkened stands after a hockey game, talking quietly with a prospect.
Kurvers, who shares his job with assistant GM Claude Loiselle, is the "Mr. Outside" to this inside-outside duo, which usually means five days on the road, two days at home. Not to mention the time spent traveling.
Lightning Assistant General Manager Tom Kurvers |
"Scouts are members of a fraternity," Kurvers explained, "They're great guys and I'm proud to be part of that group."
Scouting is only a portion of what Kurvers will be called on to do as assistant GM, but after years on the road, it's natural that his initial duties will involve seeking and assessing talent.
As part of the new leadership of the Lightning, Kurvers understands that the expectations from the fans are high, but living up to high expectations isn't new to him.
As a puck-moving defenseman in the collegiate ranks, Kurvers was drafted 145th overall by the Montreal Canadiens in 1981, after his freshman year at the University of Minnesota, Duluth. He remained in college for four years, nabbing the Hobey Baker as a senior in the 1983-84 season after registering 76 points in 43 games. The award is given annually to the most outstanding collegiate hockey player in the NCAA. Still, despite an outstanding season and the accolades that went with it, Kurvers was cut from the USA Olympic Squad and had doubts that a pro career was attainable. He then made the Montreal Canadiens team out of the '84 training camp, and it was a toss-up as to who was more surprised, Kurvers or the Montreal executives.
He went on to play 12 years in the NHL for seven different clubs and if you check the Stanley Cup next time it's handy, you'll find Tom Kurvers' name engraved on it as a member of the 1986 Canadiens team.
After retiring from playing, Kurvers became a scout with the Phoenix Coyotes, eventually
advancing to the position of Director of Player Personnel before joining the new leadership team in Tampa Bay.
If passion is a requirement for the executives of the Lightning, Kurvers will fit right in. He speaks with the same evangelical verve owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie are intent on instilling around the St. Pete Times Forum.
"Passion and desire;" Kurvers explained. "Those qualities may be more useful skills for a player than stick handling. Every guy in the NHL will tell you that they knew someone with more talent and skill than he had, but they were missing the drive and desire."
Those are qualities Kurvers seeks in a player and he is thrilled to find them in the new ownership group.
"We've got a unique situation here in Tampa, unlike anything else in the NHL," Kurvers said. "Our owners have played the game and they know what it means to do battle. This kind of ownership creates excitement. They love the game and they're totally committed."
Totally committed to the sport describes Kurvers, also. He brings the perspective of having played the game, earning a Masters in Sports Management, scouting and even, for 20 games at the tail end of the '04 season, serving as an assistant coach behind the bench.
He worked alongside Wayne Gretzky in Phoenix, and saw Gretzky's extraordinarily competitive drive firsthand. It's among the qualities Kurvers seeks most in a player. Does the player still drive hard at the end of a shift? Is he fearless in the face of a larger opponent? Is he diving to block a shot at the end of a long shift? Does he skate to the bench with fire in his expression? These aren't qualities apparent on the TV coverage of a game – but Kurvers expects his scouts to be watching.
"You can watch every game on the NHL package and SportsCenter highlights, but you'll never know what goes on away from the puck unless you're there and know what to look for," Kurvers explained. "In the course of a year, the scouts become very familiar with the lower half of the line-ups first; that's where the hidden gems without much ice time are found."
There's something else you can learn from Kurvers about the game, and for many fans it's not very obvious.
"The standard of the game is 'humble,'" Kurvers said. "This is a game that will knock every player down, so don't get cocky."
But surely the greats of the game have a certain swagger?
"The greats are often more humble than the others," Kurvers pointed out. "Real players decide that when the game knocks them down they will brush it off and get up and continue. The baseline for desire is well above the norm in this sport."
His duties with the Lightning will go beyond scouting, of course, and will include budgeting and operations. But listening to Kurvers speak, it is clear that scouting talent is something he always will enjoy. It must have its own rewards, though, because days and nights on the road away from a family (he has two daughters and two sons he stays close to) are far from glamorous.
For instance, Kurvers will tell you about pulling up to the Niagara Falls toll booth on a rainy night, fumbling through his pockets and car seats for toll change while getting abused by the toll collector for parking too far from his window.
"That's when you ask, 'why am I taking this abuse?'" Kurvers said, and laughed. "But that's the life in its essence. Even for a scout, the game will keep you humble."
