text: Student Profiles Julia Seltzer '09 Julia Seltzer '09 Hometown: New York City Major: Government and Legal Studies (International) and Spanish, with a minor in Economics Why did you choose to come to Bowdoin? I was attracted to Bowdoin for a variety of reasons, but I ultimately chose to come here because of my impressions of the people I met when I visited the campus. The students had a great fun-loving energy about them. Everyone I spoke with seemed to be super involved in the community, intelligent, active, and deeply devoted to Bowdoin. I think Bowdoin is really distinguished by the students' commitment to both each other and the school. Why did you choose your major? I entered Bowdoin with a passion for law and politics on an international scale, and the intent to go directly to law school after my four years here. This aspiration in conjunction with the wonderful reputation of the Government and Legal Studies courses led me to select a first year seminar in the department, Human Being and Citizen, with Professor Paul Franco. The seminar surpassed my highest expectations and I have since had many excellent experiences with the Gov department, although I am no longer planning on attending law school after graduation. My decision to also choose a Spanish major evolved organically over my time here. Although I took Spanish classes in high school, it was at Bowdoin where I fell in love with the Spanish language and became fascinated by a wide range of issues (political, economic, social, historic, artistic...) pertaining to countries in Latin America. Over the past year I had the opportunity to travel in both Colombia and Peru, further fueling my strong commitment to Spanish. What has been a course you especially enjoyed at Bowdoin? I've enjoyed many of my courses here at Bowdoin — it's definitely difficult to narrow it down. Last spring I took a Spanish seminar called War of the Latin American Worlds that stands out in my mind. Professor Carolyn Wolfenzon's passion for the material was contagious and everyone became very involved in the course. The class was a wonderful mix of students and we had a great chemistry. The course also exposed me to wonderful authors I had never come across before, such as Roberto Bolaño. The same semester I also took a memorable Gov seminar called Conflict Simulation and Resolution. The students were divided into two teams and we competed against each other throughout the entire course, first in weekly debates and then in a heated mock congressional election. I also developed my strong interest in developmental economics while at Bowdoin and I have found the related courses I've taken here to be very enjoyable and an important component of my education. Last semester I took Economy of Latin America with Professor Julián Díaz and was fascinated by the material we covered. We studied a range of growth strategies that have been pursued in Latin America and examined cases of individual countries. What professor or professors have especially inspired you during your time at Bowdoin? A list of the professors that have inspired me during my time at Bowdoin would be a little too lengthy, so I'll be concise and just name a few of them. I've had the privilege of working in independent studies with both Professor Enrique Yepes and Professor Carolyn Wolfenzon and I will always be grateful to both of them for how they challenged and inspired me. Professor Christian Potholm's guidance and innovative government courses have also been a very valuable part of my Bowdoin education. Julia and the 2007 Relay for Life team. What extracurricular or work experiences have you had at Bowdoin? I am involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities that are incredibly important to me, but for the sake of time I'll just mention a couple. This is my second year as chair of Bowdoin's Colleges Against Cancer chapter and the American Cancer Society's (ACS) Relay for Life event. The fight against cancer is a cause extremely close to my heart and the opportunity to lead an event that has raised over $135,700 for ACS over the last three years has been very rewarding. The Relay for Life committee is a great group of students — we have a lot of fun and share a passion for the work we do. This year's event is April 17–18, 2009, and we'll be having our kickoff at the Bowdoin pub on February 19 from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. I'm also a president of Bowdoin's Student Global AIDS Campaign (SGAC) Chapter. SGAC is a national student and youth movement committed to bringing an end to HIV and AIDS worldwide through education, informed advocacy, media work, and direct action. I led an SGAC chapter in my high school and was surprised to find out that Bowdoin did not have one when I arrived here. I founded Bowdoin's SGAC chapter with my roommate Ali Cram sophomore year and the group has been meeting ever since. Julia meets a friendly camel in Morocco. Did you study abroad during your time at Bowdoin? ? I spent the fall of my junior year abroad in Granada, Spain. It was an amazing experience — I can't urge students enough to go abroad! It really is an unbelievable opportunity to grow and explore (sounds cliché, but it's true). What have you done during your summers? I've loved all of my summers since starting Bowdoin. I've made it a point to spend most of my summer time in New York City, my hometown, to ensure some quality time with family, old friends, and of course the city, too. This past summer I completed a nine-week internship with ING in Emerging Market and Western European Equity Sales. The same summer I also had the opportunity to take some time away from the office to travel in Medellín, Colombia, and attend the XVIII annual International Festival of Poetry. This trip was tied to a Latin American Studies Grant I received from Bowdoin, and constitutes a very valuable component of my college education. My travels were directly connected to an independent study I took with Professor Yepes this past fall, in which I explored the power of poetry as a tool for social activism in Latin America. Medellín, Colombia: the XVIII annual International Festival of Poetry. Traveling in Medellín and working on a Sales and Trading floor was quite a change of pace from my role the summer after my sophomore year as an intern investigator for the Legal Aid Society of New York's Criminal Practice. Although this internship is generally unpaid, I received funding from the Preston Public Interest Career Fund Summer Fellowship — a wonderful summer fellowship that all Bowdoin students can apply for. As an intern investigator, I worked on criminal investigations in a range of capacities, spent time in court with my two mentor staff attorneys, and interviewed incarcerated clients for a special litigation project. This position also differed a great deal from my job the previous summer as an intern policy analyst for government benefits. My work in this internship was focused on intensive case services for welfare recipients. What is your best Bowdoin memory? I won't speak to a single best Bowdoin memory, but I'll briefly describe one of the many memorable experiences I've had here. Just the other week we had one of the biggest snowstorms I've ever seen in Brunswick. My friend and I, done with our classes for the day and inspired by the unrelenting swirl of flakes outside, decided to venture out on cross-country skis. We snapped into our skis right in the center of campus and proceeded to wander all throughout the fields by Farley Field House and the streets of Brunswick with nothing in our way but fresh snow (and the occasional snowplow). We ended our excursion by skiing straight through campus up to the entrance of Smith Union to relax and snuggle up with a cup of hot cocoa from the café. What are your plans for after graduation? After graduation (and hopefully some exciting summer travels) I will be moving to Boston and working as a business analyst for Deloitte Consulting. What advice would you give to a prospective student or first-year about the Bowdoin experience? Take all the time in the world at meals. This semester my friends and I have been speaking a lot about all those things unique to Bowdoin that we'll miss next year when we're away and we always seem to come back to the long meals we share together at Thorne Dining Hall. Whether you're eating with one friend or a group of 20, meals offer a time to catch up and a space away from the myriad other commitments everyone has at Bowdoin. They provide an ideal opportunity to just relax and have fun with your friends. At how many other points in your life will you have so many people you know/enjoy/care about...all eating and hanging out together in the same room? What quirky or fun thing did you wish you knew before you came to Bowdoin? For just $20 you can take yoga classes at the Schwartz Outdoor Leadership Center every week for an entire semester!

I found this because Andy Inhatko tweeted about it.
I like your art style very much, and the story was well told. A very successful comic story.
I have to admit that since I don't know about the two protagonists I can't understand why ANYONE would put up with such obnoxious behaviour for very long, but I imagine that's spelled out elsewhere.
Good job!

Those who have been bemoaning the demise of the family farm should read a paper presented by the National Agricultural Statistics Service at the recent USDA Agricultural Outlook Forum.
NASS representatives say that nearly one-quarter of the nation's farms that have multiple operators have operators in different generations. The paper's authors say those numbers imply the farms may have a succession plan, but it also can be interpreted to mean that most of those operations are run by members of the same family.
"Every five years when the census of agriculture results are released, the agricultural industry becomes alarmed about the advancing ages of farmers and what it will mean for farm structure and farm succession," said Rich Allen, NASS deputy administrator who presented the paper.
Allen said NASS has had limited information to shed light on these concerns until the 2002 Census of Agriculture. (Allen says farm succession involves the planning of farm ownership or management to keep the business in operation when the present operator retires or leaves.)
During the 2002 Census of Agriculture, he said, new questions were asked about the number of operators on each farm, operator demographics for the first three operators, and the number of people per household.
The analysis of U.S. farm operator demographics presented at the Outlook Forum examined the relationships among these new data items collected in order to identify agricultural operations that might have succession plans in place.
For this paper, a finding of operators from different generations on a single operation indicated a possible succession plan. This analysis defined different generations as a span of 20 years or more between the oldest operator and at least one of the other operators, says Allen.
According to the 2002 Census of Agriculture, of the 2,128,982 operations in the U.S., 37.7 percent reported multiple farm operators, indicating a potential for farm succession.
However, since many of the multiple operators were spouses or other individuals of a similar age as the principal operator, only 24.1 percent of those farms with multiple operators (which equates to 9.1 percent of all 2.1 million U.S. farms — including those reporting only one operator) had operators across generations, showing evidence of a possible farm succession plan in place.
"Further analysis of the 2002 Census data reveals some operations may have already implemented a succession plan," Allen notes. "More than 60 percent of male principal operators under 25 years of age and almost half of male principal operators between 25 and 34 years of age, who reported a male second operator, currently have a second or third operator at least 20 years their senior.
"This analysis also examines the apparent correlation between farm income and multiple generation operations. Studying the relation between operator demographics in the 2002 Census (for up to three operators on each farm) and data on farm income reveals that as farm income rises, the percentage of multiple generation operations rises as well."
Of the operations reporting multiple operators and having under $100,000 in farm sales, 1 out of 5 (21.4 percent) of those operations have multiple generational operators. For multiple operator farms reporting $100,000 to $249,999 sales, 34.3 percent qualify as a multiple generation operation.
This percentage continues to increase to 38.8 percent for multiple operator farms with $250,000 or more in farm sales; almost 2 out of 5 of those operations have multiple generation operators. Thus, these higher income operations reporting multiple operators are almost twice as likely to have multiple generational operators as those farms with less than $100,000 in sales.
Although this paper draws conclusions on the possible percentages of U.S. farm operations with succession plans in place, NASS officials warn that specific data on farm operation succession planning were not collected on the 2002 Census of Agriculture.
"Farm succession surveys require a long series of questions in order to gain a fuller understanding of the considerations which go into succession planning," said Ginger Harris, NASS statistician, who co-authored the paper with Allen. "These are far too many questions than could be asked in a general purpose census data collection."
USDA-NASS does conclude that the percent of U.S. farm operations with possible succession plans in place varies considerably by state, income sales class and type of farm, she said.

The devastating tornado that killed at least 24 people and damaged as many as 13,000 homes in Oklahoma on Monday appears to have been in the path of only five real-estate investment trust properties, while almost 20 other properties narrowly avoided the storm track, according to a new analysis released on Thursday.
Continue Reading Below
"REITs exposure to the massive twister could have been worse," SNL Real Estate said in a report on Thursday that cited a preliminary analysis provided by the National Weather Service.
According to SNL, five REIT-owned properties fell directly in the track of the tornado, while nine REIT-owned properties lie directly north and 10 lie to the south of the storm's path.
The largest REIT exposure to the tornado is likely to be felt by Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, which owns a 259,903 square-foot shopping center in the storm's path in Moore, Okla., that represents 2.1% of the REIT's total square feet, SNL said.
Meanwhile, the report said National Retail Properties (NYSE:NNN) owns a pair of restaurant properties in Moore that were within the storm's path. Shares of this REIT retreated 1.90% to $39.71 Thursday morning.
Realty Income Corp. (NYSE:O) and Retail Properties of America (NYSE:RPAI) each own a smaller, single-tenant property inside the storm's path or just along its borders.
Shares of Retail Properties of America lost 3.06% to $14.87, while Realty Income dropped 2.96% to $50.85 on Thursday. Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) downgraded Realty Income to "sell" from "neutral" Thursday morning.
Click image to enlarge.
None of the REITs have disclosed estimates on property damage caused by the tornado.
Officials in Oklahoma have estimated damages could top $2 billion from the storm, which has impacted about 33,000 people.
Storm damage indicates the tornado, which hit an area at least 1.3 miles wide, may have been a category EF5, indicating wind speeds of 200 to 210 miles per hour.
The SNL report indicates a number of REITs own properties just to the north of the storm's path, including Steadfast Income REIT, Cole Credit Property Trust III and Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE:SNH).

BELLAIRE, Mich. (AP) — Filmmaker Michael Moore's divorce from Kathleen Glynn has been finalized, ending their two-decade-long marriage.
Moore filed a divorce complaint June 17, 2013, in Michigan's Antrim County, where the couple has a lakefront home.
A consent judgment of divorce was entered and the case was closed Tuesday.
Moore spokesman Christian Muirhead says his client and Glynn "have mutually and amicably reached a divorce settlement." The Associated Press left a message Wednesday seeking comment from Glynn's lawyer.
Moore's filing from last year said his relationship with Glynn had broken down and there remained "no reasonable likelihood that the marriage" could be preserved.
Moore and Glynn married in Flint in 1991. Glynn was the producer or executive producer of many of Moore's documentary films, including "Fahrenheit 9/11," ''Sicko" and "Capitalism: A Love Story."

New York state has shredded some bureaucracy to speed the payment of insurance claims to 360,000 victims of Superstorm Sandy, while creating an online system to grade insurers whose state licenses are on the line as they respond to New Yorkers.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he met with top insurance companies about the changes that should cut by more than half the time New Yorkers will have to wait for insurance adjusters. That new deadline is six days, from 15 days.
The adjusters must inspect homes and businesses before claims can be paid to policyholders, unless there is a health and safety issue. Sandy victims can make those repairs and make claims using receipts and other paper work.
"We're getting many, many complaints," Cuomo said from a Manhattan news conference in which he targeted insurance companies. "I understand their point of view and I understand the volume. I also understand the point of consumers and citizens who paid for coverage ... and now expect the insurance companies to do their job."
The governor is allowing some insurance adjusters from outside the state to obtain temporary state licenses to help address New York mountain of claims more quickly. He also approved adding "public adjusters" who help consumers through the process.
"There simply is no substitute for speed when it comes to insurance payouts after a storm," Cuomo said.
Cuomo had credited some insurance companies for creative efforts to reduce the backlog of claims.
"No one takes their role of helping customers more seriously than insurers," said Kristina Baldwin, assistant vice president for the Property Casualty Insurers Association of America.
"Our companies have committed significant resources to help their customers during these difficult times, including sending mobile claims offices into the storm impacted neighborhoods to help expedite claims," she said.
"The claims professionals and adjusters for all of our members are working extraordinary hours to help every one of their customers in need, even in some cases as they deal with the storm's impact on their own families," Baldwin said.
The state Department of Financial Services will also post online report cards that will rate insurance companies' performance. The website is at www.NYInsure.ny.gov.
"They will be held accountable for their performance," said Cuomo, noting he regulates and licenses the companies.
State Financial Services Superintendent Benjamin Lawsky is continuing a moratorium in Bronx, Kings, Nassau New York, Orange, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Suffolk and Westchester counties that prohibits companies from canceling homeowners' and small business insurance for any reason, including nonpayment of premiums, through Dec. 15.

Celina explained that she had originally hoped to have this done in Aramaic, but that she and her artist couldn't find the proper script, so she chose this one instead. It's an old Hebrew script, which I can recognize a significant part of, thanks to my many years of Hebrew school in Hawai'i.
The words translate to "Be strong and courageous," from Deuteronomy 31:6:
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."The Hebrew phrase,
חִזְקוּ וְאִמְצוּ
is spoken by Moses, on behalf of God, addressing the Israelites after they have fled Egypt and are about to embark on the journey that takes forty years and eventually leads them to the Promised Land.
This phrase resonated with Celina, who had this tattoo done before she moved to New York from the San Francisco Bay area, and was about to embark on a journey into the unknown.
She credited the artist Chris Evans, in Santa Cruz, California, with inking this tattoo.
Thanks to Celina for sharing this tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

Unknown issue causes power outage in Rochester area SundayBY JOHN QUINN
Union Leader Correspondent
May 11. 2014 7:52PM
ROCHESTER – Several thousand residents in the area, including a third of Public Service of New Hampshire customers in Barrington, lost power for a few hours Sunday evening.

PSNH crews, who are working to restore power, estimate all customers should regain service by 9 p.m., according to Elizabeth LaRocca, PSNH spokeswoman.
"Our crews have not determined the cause of this," LaRocca said, adding PSNH crews are searching the area to find and rectify the issue.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Joseph Nally was disappointed on three fronts by disparaging remarks made by Ohio State University's former president — as a Roman Catholic, a graduate of Ohio State and a Notre Dame grad.
"Your President's recent remarks were disappointing — and unacceptable," Nally, a Cleveland doctor, wrote in a scathing letter to Ohio State's trustee chairman on June 3.
In December comments first revealed in May by The Associated Press, ex-President Gordon Gee jabbed Roman Catholics, the University of Notre Dame and Southeastern Conference schools, among others.
Nally, a kidney disease specialist at the Cleveland Clinic who graduated from Notre Dame in 1972 and from Ohio State's medical school in 1975, said in a phone interview Wednesday that Gee's comments "really tainted the university."
The university was flooded with angry emails and letters after Gee's remarks, many demanding his firing or resignation, according to documents obtained by the AP through an open records request.
"The Board should be asking, what would they have done if any other employee of the university made similar remarks about Jews, gays, impaired persons, obese persons, same sex couples or a racially insensitive remark?" Dennis Lyons wrote in a May 31 email.
Lyons, who has no connection to Ohio State, told the AP in a follow-up email he was satisfied with Gee's retirement.
In Dec. 5 comments to the university Athletic Council, Gee criticized the negotiating tactics of Notre Dame administrators during discussions about joining the Big Ten, saying they weren't good partners. He jokingly said the school's priests were "holy on Sunday and they're holy hell on the rest of the week" and said, to laughter, "you just can't trust those damn Catholics."
On March 11, before the remarks became public, university trustees ordered Gee to begin apologizing and warned that future transgressions could lead to his dismissal.
Gee, 69, retired July 1, a decision he announced days after the AP first reported on the remarks.
"Dr. Gee was on vacation with his family and he returned and indicated he was making the decision to retire," Ohio State spokeswoman Gayle Saunders said Tuesday when asked for comment on the responses' impact on Gee's retirement.
Gee saw some of the emails when he returned and responded with further apologies, records show.
The university search committee held another meeting Wednesday to discuss Gee's replacement. A decision isn't expected for weeks or months.
Comments from people who heard of the remarks and sent unsolicited responses were overwhelmingly negative, including 187 emails and letters, according to the correspondence reviewed by the AP.
The Rev. Thomas Shuler, a Catholic priest in Lookout Mountain, Ga., was among at least five priests who wrote or emailed the university to demand something be done.
"I cannot recall in my lifetime (68 years old) such a blatant public display of ignorance and bigotry by an official — academic and otherwise — the rank and stature of your president," Shuler said in a May 30 email to university trustees.
A second category of responses involved comments from people who responded to a form letter apology that Gee emailed to the university community on May 31.
Of those, 225 were positive, with 21 negative, records show.
"C'mon President Gee you were hilarious," senior-to-be Mike Leone wrote on May 31. "I'm a church going catholic and was roaring when I heard your comments on the radio this morning."
Leone, 21, of Cleveland, told the AP on Tuesday he didn't feel as if Gee was attacking anyone and was sorry to see him go.

Centric`s second annual ultra orphan conference, with Pharmaceutical Executive Magazine serving as media partner for 2009 event, offers industry guidance CHESTERFIELD, Mo.
–(Business Wire)–Highlighting the role of specialty pharmaceuticals as the fastest growing segment of the prescription drug market in the United States, the recent Secon Annual Ultra Orphan Conference:"Emerging Commercialization Strategies for Addressing the Needs of Ultra Orphan Patients — Accelerate Product Launch and Profitability by Building Regulatory Requirements into Distribution," offered stakeholders insights into industry trends, explained the impact of healthcare reform, and identified opportunities to turn Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies (REMS) into a competitive advantage.
Sponsored by Centric Health Resources, Inc. a new generation health services organization focused on improving the quality of life for people nationwide with rare, orphan, ultra-orphan, and chronic genetic disorders, the conference drew a capacity-audience of representatives from biotech and pharmaceutical companies, patient advocacy organizations, venture capital groups, and consulting firms. Issues impacting stakeholders — ranging from legal concerns, regulatory requirements, managed care reimbursement and patient advocacy – were addressed by some of the most distinguished leaders in the industry.
Setting the tone, Craig Kephart, president and CEO of Centric, articulated the opportunities for manufacturers to transform REMS into a market advantage: "REMS presents a new challenge in the drug approval process, with an average Food and Drug Administration (FDA) delay of nine months due to an insufficient REMS program. While this poses significant implications for manufacturers in this marketplace, it also presents opportunities to integrate REMS with distribution, improve REMS compliance, impact patient compliance, and provide data to support pay-for-performance."
Kephart also identified these key trends:
* Consolidation of specialty pharmacy drugs as manufacturers seek focus and
patient experiences
* Food and Drug Administration (FDA) attention to post-market surveillance
* Growth in personalized medicine — drugs manufactured based upon genetic
makeup of patient
* Margin pressure on the specialty pharmacy channel, and competition among
pharmacy benefits management-based specialty pharmacies
* Impact of REMS: input is pervasive, creating challenging issues for pricing,
access, monitoring, drug approval, and drug regulations
* Specialty pharmacy "Big Box" model is ineffective on small market drugs
Keynote speaker Michael McCaughan, editor-in-chief, F-D-C Reports, Inc., Elsevier Business Intelligence, discussed the bright side of biotech, including how the new regulatory model favors highly active medicines for small patient populations, how sponsors who embrace the new model have found it provides a competitive advantage, and how the economics of small markets strongly favor smaller companies over larger entities.
Conference presenters included:
* Jayson Slotnik, attorney-at-law, Hogan & Hartson, LLP, and Diane Edquist Dorman, vice president, Public Policy, National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD), examined how the new administration`s healthcare policies will impact orphan drug development, as well as recent healthcare plan developments and NORD
* Dennis Matheis, president, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Missouri, addressed reimbursement, pay-for-performance, value-based benefit design, and comparative effectiveness.
Additional conference speakers included:
* William Sullivan, principal consultant, Specialty Pharmacy Solutions, LLC
* David A. Galardi, Pharm.D., Apogenics
* Jim Long, principal and co-founder, BioSolutia
* Dean Erhardt, M.B.A., principal, D2 Pharma Consulting, LLC
* Robert (Sandy) Sandhaus, M.D., The Alpha-1 Foundation
* John Walsh, chairman of the Board of Centric Health Resources; president, CEO,
and co-founder, The Alpha-1 Foundation
* David Sirois, M.D., D.M.D., Ph.D., chairman of the Board of Directors, The
International Pemphigus & Pemphigoid Foundation
* Warwick Charlton, M.D., M.B.A., chief medical officer, Centric Health
Resources, Inc.
* Douglas Paul, vice president and partner, MME Consultants
* Wendy White, founder, president, Siren Interactive
"This conference was about answering critical questions during a time of health care transformation," Kephart concluded. "Our main focus was to help organizations plan and prepare for new reforms, a potential overhaul of our health care system, and an era of change. We validated the importance of appropriate preparation, and carefully presented the competitive advantages of building REMS requirements into distribution strategies."

Gustav Stickley Morris Chair
Reproduce an Arts & Crafts classic and reward yourself with the ultimate easy chair.
By Robert W. Lang
Pages: 28-35
From the April 2011 issue #189
Buy this issue now
In Gustav Stickley's book Craftsman Homes, there is a picture of this chair with the following caption: "A big deep chair that means comfort to a tired man when he comes home after the day's work." First produced around 1906, this chair is an icon of Stickley's furniture and his philosophy.
Visually, this chair invites you to sit down and relax – a result of the sloping arms and side rails, the warmth and color of the quartersawn white oak and the upholstered seat and back. Few people who see this chair can resist the desire to sit in it. And few who sit in it can rise without regret.
Other manufacturers who knocked off Stickley's work cut corners and simplified his designs, and many woodworkers look for a way to make a chair like this with simpler joinery. Without the joinery it isn't a chair like this; it's something less. There is a reward for doing it right; in this case, the reward for the effort is the chair itself.

Which Movie Had the Biggest Super Bowl Trailer?
Six shouted their loudest to be heard over the game.
Six blockbusters-to-be bought Super Bowl ad time on Sunday night, boasting their promises of enormity as briefly as possible. Here, Vulture gives the rundown on each new trailer and its accompanying massive moment.
Fast & Furious 6
What's New: It's our first look at this one, and everyone's back — Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, The "Dwayne Johnson" Rock, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese, Ludacris. There's a tank, and there are cars built strictly to ruin people's commutes.
Appetite for Destruction: An airplane gets yanked out of the sky, Vin Diesel drives a car through the nose of the airplane fast and furiously. (Spoiler alert: In Fast 7, they're car-jumping to the moon.)
Iron Man 3
What's New: This extended look starts with Robert Downey Jr. giving us his best Blue Steel, but it's worth sticking around for the sight of Don Cheadle in the most patriotic suit of all time.
Appetite for Destruction: Never a series to be outdone by a car-racing franchise, Iron Man 3 trots out its version of Bane's airplane-ruining stunt, as orchestrated by Ben Kingsley, a.k.a. Mandarin. It's harrowing.
Star Trek Into Darkness
What's New: So little time, so much Benedict Cumberbatch.
Appetite for Destruction: If Cumberbatch simply speaking isn't classified as earth-shattering in your world, the U.S.S. Enterprise careening into our planet is, by definition, huge.
The Lone Ranger
What's New: The third Lone Ranger trailer, standing tall at 90 seconds, is half-full of rehash from the first two clips. We do get a little peek at Armie Hammer's love life and some Johnny Depp silliness beyond "something seriously wrong with that horse."
Appetite for Destruction: A train smashes an old bridge, a train messes up a stage, a train car spins sideways, presumably derailing the whole rig.
Oz the Great and Powerful
What's New: Every Oz spot so far has been sure to show us the black-and-white-switches-to-Technicolor moment so as to completely spoil any chance of rekindling that magic in theaters. This one's got the same CG-heavy shots, but some Rachel Weisz and a new Wicked Witch of the West teaser. All set to Super Bowl-approved bombastic score.
Appetite for Destruction: A meteor smashes, an explosion explodes, plus ... fireworks.
World War Z
What's New: This one's Super Bowl spot offered nothing the first trailer didn't already make available. So consider yourself helpfully reminded that Brad Pitt has a family, Brad Pitt is married to The Killing's Mireille Enos, and that the Z stands for zombies. (World War Zombies wasn't as catchy.)
Appetite for Destruction: A car's side mirror gets obliterated (BRUTAL traffic jam), Inception BRAAAAAHMS do their thing all over the place, CGI zombies run over all manner of terrain. And just to fit in with Fast 6 and Iron Man 3, airplane-oriented hijinx are glimpsed.

This is a draft of the sermon Dr. King wrote comparing a story from the Bible in St. Luke to the struggle to obtain equality and civil rights.
b. 1926 - d. 2000
Laurie Pritchett, an Army veteran and graduate of the National Academy of the FBI, was the chief of police of Albany, Georgia from 1959 to 1966. When the Albany Movement began in 1961, Pritchett directed the police to enforce the law without violence and arrest those who disrupted the public order. Pritchett's nonviolent response was seen as an effective strategy to dissolve the nonviolent protest. After thousands, including Dr. King, were arrested, the movement lost its momentum. After leaving Albany, Pritchett served as police chief in High Point, North Carolina, until his retirement in 1975.
This is a draft of the sermon Dr. King wrote comparing a story from the Bible in St. Luke to the struggle to obtain equality and civil rights.
This column by Joseph D. Bibb makes the argument that not only is "the colored American" ready for his civil rights, but also it is hypocritical to deny him those rights given the ignorance and savagery of many of his white counterparts.
This Washington Post article, entitled "Attorney's Arrest is Protested", talks about Arthur Kinoy's arrest and the complications that aroused as a result of it.
In a testimony before the Senate Commerce Committee, Mississippi Governor Ross R. Barnett expresses his staunch opposition to President Kennedy's recent civil rights legislation. Governor Barnett goes as far as to associate recent Communist Party activities to the recent "racial agitation, strife, and conflict" emerging from the Civil Rights Movement.
The September 1966 issue of Commentary, a monthly publication of the American Jewish Committee, features Bayard Rustin's article "Black Power and Coalition Politics." The article discusses topics such as black power, the liberal labor civil rights coalition, the strategies of Marcus Garvey, W. E. B. Du Bois, and Booker T. Washington, and A. Philip Randolph's Freedom Budget. Rustin states that although black power is viewed as a "psychological rejection of white supremacy" those advocating for black power are seeking a "new black establishment."
This article, from the newspaper "Chicago's American," criticizes Dr. King's demonstrations on open housing in Chicago.
This New York Times article provides details about Vice President Richard Nixon's decision to support the end of school segregation.
Dr. King believes that there are lessons in understanding the process of history, that evil carries the seed of destruction and that militarism is ultimately suicidal. Dr. King states that "history teaches the lesson that all reality hinges on moral foundations."
Contrary to what radio announcements and newspapers advertise, Dr. King urges Negro voters to vote for a presidential candidate that is already on the ballot. He expresses that he is not a candidate and does not want voters to write his name on the ballot.
This editorial reviews Dr. King's last book, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" Under the heading "Dr. King Outdated." The review expresses Mr. Bob Smith's disagreement with many themes of the book.
Eugene Patterson, of the Atlanta Constitution, transcribed his analysis of Dr. King's final publication, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" Mr. Patterson evaluated Dr. King's views on riots and agreed that riots did not produce any solid improvements to solve the problems in the Negro community.
This letter, sent to Dr. King, emphasizes a clear disgust with Dr. King's tactics. The author insists that the best thing he could do for his people is "drop dead."
William F. Bell writes an article concerning a proposed W. E. Dubois State Memorial in Great Barrington.
In this document, this New York Yearly Meeting Office unveiled a plan of action for the months of March and April of 1968. The causes they focused on were the Black Power Movement and Dr. King's Poor People's Campaign initiative.
The document contains notes for a sermon given by Dr. King entitled, "God's Judgement on Western Civilization."
This SCLC news release documents the success of "a pioneer agreement between the Chicago Freedom Movement and a large grocery chain." As a product of Operation Breadbasket, this development cycled both jobs and capital to keep them organic to the Negro community.
In this document, residents of Harlem question the trial in the murder of Malcom X.
"HLS" believes that Dr. King is wrong in thinking that the Republican Party will do more for African Americans than the Democratic Party.
Mr. Eisenman acknowledges the irony of how America, which was created after a war of liberation, has now gone against everything it was founded upon.
This document displays the poem "I, Too" by Jerry Peace
In this article, the author confronts Dr. King's statement regarding Scandinavian countries. The author suggests that Dr. King does not have a full understanding of the culture and proceeds to enlighten him.
In the attainment of civil rights, Dr. King stresses the importance and urgency of "NOW". He further expounds on the immediate and effective actions that should be exercised by the Federal government to better the society.
In this article, Joseph Kraft discusses the influences of Blacks voting.
This Argus newspaper clipping is a mini review of Dr. King's last book, "Where Do We From Here: Chaos or Community?"
Alice Widener argues that the Black Power movement will result in domestic guerilla warfare. The writer's stance originates from a Black Power workshop she attended. Widener argues that the U.S. government must "round up and imprison" the "Red-Black power criminals."
In this poem, Ms. Savage expresses her views on "Life."
Dr. King delivers a sermon about the parable of the lost sheep from the book of Luke. In this sermon, Dr. King poses the question that has pondered mankind for ages, "What is God Like?" He declares, "God is like a good shepherd" caring for his sheep. Dr. King commends the good done in America, but compares the nation to "a lost sheep" for failing to maintain equality for all men. He summarizes by describing good as a process, that everyone is significant and God is seeking to find the lost.
Dr. King speaks about the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Summer Community Organization and Political Education Project (SCOPE). He also talks about the political advancements that were made in the south.
This article discusses former FBI undercover agent, Julia Brown's plan to expose Dr. King of his affiliation with the Communist party.
The Augusta Chronicle wrote this extensive review on Dr. King's last book, "Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?" In this document, the review places special emphasis on Dr. King's views on the War on Poverty, the Black Power Movement and the state of the Civil Rights Movement.

Are you flirting with the TSA?
Look at Jeremy Renner's eyes as he's waiting for the TSA agent to inspect his identification before heading through security at LAX. Is that a flirt face? Is that a let-me-charm-you-with-my-movie-star-sex-appeal face? I like that he's not being ushered VIP styles through the process. At least it doesn't seem that way in these photos. He appears to be queuing along with civilians. I've mentioned before that Renner's fingers freak me out. But he does have nice arms.

Beijing Bound: ECU grad aims for Paralympic gold
GREENVILLE, NC (Aug. 4, 2008) — Elexis Gillette vowed to "up" his game when he won a silver medal in the long jump at the 2004 Paralymic Games in Athens.
"After getting that medal, I thought, 'Man, I got to get first," he said recently from the Olympic Training Center inCalifornia. "When you want something that bad, you put in all the work that you can. That's what keeps me going."
Gillette, who has a visual impairment, has been an international competitor in Paralympic track and field events since he was a student in ECU's Recreation and Leisure Studies Program. He graduated from ECU in 2007.
Paralympics are elite sport events for athletes with disabilities such as amputations, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, spinal cord injuries and intellectual disabilities.
More than 3,800 of these athletes participated in the 2004 games. This September, they will travel to Beijing,China, to compete for medals in the same venues as Olympic athletes.
For Gillette, it's an opportunity to reach a goal that has propelled him since his first shot at a Paralympic medal – winning gold.
In January, he moved to the Olympic training center to make use of the world-class facilities and expertise. Now, he spends several hours on the track at least four days a week, and uses time off to lift weights and condition his body.
He has added several events to his roster since 2004. InBeijing, he will compete in the long jump (he took silver in 2004), triple jump and 100- and 200-meter races. A sighted guide assists him on the track.
The Raleigh native anticipates a strong showing, especially in the long jump. "I'm definitely trying to get gold," he said. "At this point in my training, I feel really good. Hopefully, you know, I'll win."
Gillette began running in middle school but said his experience at East CarolinaUniversity helped shape his athletic career. "I had so many people in my corner. Even if they didn't know too much about my sport, people were always willing to help," he said.

KAPLAN, La. — What critter has no name, eats rice plants and has the potential to make farmers see red?
The answer, according to Boris Castro, LSU AgCenter entomologist, is a tiny fly.
"The way it looks, it probably is a new species for the United States," Castro said of the pest discovered in a number of rice fields last year.
And Howard Cormier, LSU AgCenter county agent in Vermilion Parish, La., said the insect's damage was devastating on two fields he inspected last year.
"Where it hit fields, the rice never did come back," Cormier said.
Farmer Ted Girouard of Kaplan, La., had one of those fields. "It just demolished the rice," he said.
Girouard said he lost 51 acres of rice to the pest, and his remaining 130 acres yielded a paltry 12 barrels — about 2,000 pounds — an acre.
Castro said the pest has so far been referred to as the rice whorl maggot because of its similarity to a fly in Asia that afflicts rice fields there. But he said a taxonomist at the Smithsonian Institution has concluded this fly probably is a new, unidentified species in the United States, although it could be a species originating in Costa Rica that hasn't been named.
Oriental rice fields also are damaged by the Asian rice whorl maggot, Castro said, so it may be necessary to distinguish the fly in U.S. rice fields as the American rice whorl maggot.
Whatever the insect is, it has infested rice fields in Vermilion, Jefferson Davis, St. Landry and Concordia parishes, Castro said. Mo Way, Texas A&M entomologist, has found it in Texas rice fields on a smaller scale.
Castro said he inspected seven fields in 2004 that had severe infestations — where large areas were denuded of vegetation, but he suspects it affects more fields to a lesser extent.
"Probably this insect is in more fields than we think it is," Castro said.
For the past few years, he said, it was believed the damage was caused by another small fly called a rice leaf miner, also a major pest in Asia. "Here, we consider the rice leaf miner a secondary pest," Castro said.
While a leaf miner produces larvae that burrow between the two layers of a plant's leaf, Castro said the larvae of this newer pest, which is an eighth inch to a quarter inch long, feeds on a leaf's edge and works its way down into the whorl of a seedling where a plant's leaves and stem emerge. It's not unusual to find several larvae infesting one plant, he said.
Damage is severe, either killing the plant or retarding growth, Castro said.
Girouard said the problem in his field developed two weeks after planting last year. He first thought the problem of yellowing leaves was the result of bronzing, a mineral deficiency, and he released the water from the fields.
Girouard replanted 51 acres, but the problem returned, and he gave up on that field.
"It's the first time I ever lost a crop," he said.
In the fields where plants reached maturity, Girouard said, the plant density was so thin that weeds overwhelmed the surviving rice.
The insects' effect on yields is significant, Castro said, but research will have to be done this year to determine the range of damage.
It also will be important to find out the early signs of infestation, the LSU AgCenter entomologist stressed. By the time a plant shows obvious signs of dead leaves, it is too late to use any chemicals. And so far no insecticides are labeled for use against the pest, Castro said.
Castro said LSU AgCenter research this year also will include spraying different insecticides, which are already labeled for other rice pests, on test plots where the insect is found.
The fly doesn't seem to have a preference of varieties or seeding methods, Castro said, but late planting appears to be a common thread. It usually struck in June and July, he said, explaining the first case was found in a field that was planted in May.
"The earlier you plant, the better," Castro said.
The LSU AgCenter recommends planting rice between March 15 and April 20 in south Louisiana and between April 5 and May 10 in north Louisiana.
Girouard said he usually plants in March or April, but he was delayed until July because he had difficulty getting a dependable well.
"I'll never plant late rice again," he vowed.

It's Jamie-Lynn Sigler's turn to hit a homerun — at least when it comes to family.
Cuddling up to Cutter Dykstra, the actress and her fiancé introduce their now 9-week-old son Beau Kyle to the world in a series of sweet shots.
The proud new parents kept it coordinated in white tees and jeans while their son stayed cool in a matching onesie and socks.
"I don't want to be rigid and hold myself to expectations of how things should go. I want to see what he's like and who he is, and he and my fiancé and I will figure it out," Sigler, 32, has said of the couple's parenting plan.
In another photo, the new mom can be seen enjoying solo time with her son, holding hands with baby Beau, who seems content on his SwaddleDesigns Safari Run Marquisette blanket.

"Cutter and I feel so blessed and appreciative of everyone's well wishes. So madly in love with our BOY," she said shortly after welcoming her first child.

Two posts in one day! I don't think that has ever happened. But, when I found out this happened to someone from my neck of the woods, I knew I had to pass this along.
From Buzzfeed:
"Kevin worked as a public school teacher for fifteen years before retiring to run his farm full-time. A few years ago, he went back to work as the director of a day care center in Ashland, Kentucky. After being mocked and teased by co-workers and superiors at work, some of whom constantly referred to him as "twinkle toes", the center forced him to resign in spite of his spotless record.
He sued for wrongful termination and, though the judge agreed that he had been treated unfairly, there is no Kentucky state law regarding anti-gay discrimination at the workplace.
More than a year later, Kevin is still out of work, exhausted, and behind on bills and legal fees. He continues to work on the animal sanctuary he runs on his 18-acre property. LLA-Nanny Farms is home to llamas, cats, dogs, chickens, donkeys and pigs. Many of the animals, especially the 30+ dogs, came to Kevin as strays.
When Kevin spoke to BuzzFeed, he said his main concern was that, due to his financial problems, he wouldn't be able to feed all of his animals. He has never sold any of them, not even his prize-winning llamas. Now, though, he worries that he may be running out of options."
There is a way you can help! If you feel inclined to donate, you can do it here. If you can't afford to donate, you can send an encouraging word to Kevin via his Facebook page. Be sure to pass this along to everyone you know. Let's show Kevin and his llamas some love!

text: Using advanced analytics such as Hadoop to mine big data implementations in the enterprise has raised concerns about how to secure and control the data repositories. By distributing data storage and data management across a large number of nodes, you can attack a large problem with parallelism and get results from large bodies of data a lot faster. With Hadoop, there is less dependence on a strict data schema so a greater volume of data can be ingested giving analysts more flexibility and speed. However, the approach can cause challenges in identifying and securing sensitive data, according to Fremont, Calif.-based Dataguise, which sells a data governance and encryption platform.

In both the literal and metaphorical senses, it seemed as if 1970s America was running out of gas. The decade not only witnessed long lines at gas stations but a citizenry that had grown weary and disillusioned. High unemployment, runaway inflation, and the energy crisis, caused in part by U.S. dependence on Arab oil, characterized an increasingly bleak economic situation. As Edward D. Berkowitz demonstrates, the end of the postwar economic boom, Watergate, and defeat in Vietnam led to an unraveling of the national consensus. During the decade, ideas about the United States, how it should be governed, and how its economy should be managed changed dramatically. Berkowitz argues that the postwar faith in sweeping social programs and a global U.S. mission was replaced by a more skeptical attitude about government's ability to positively affect society. From Woody Allen to Watergate, from the decline of the steel industry to the rise of Bill Gates, and from Saturday Night Fever to the Sunday morning fervor of evangelical preachers, Berkowitz captures the history, tone, and spirit of the seventies. He explores the decade's major political events and movements, including the rise and fall of dActente, congressional reform, changes in healthcare policies, and the hostage crisis in Iran. The seventies also gave birth to several social movements and the qrights revolution, q in which women, gays and lesbians, and people with disabilities all successfully fought for greater legal and social recognition. At the same time, reaction to these social movements as well as the issue of abortion introduced a new facet into American political life-the rise of powerful, politically conservative religious organizations and activists. Berkowitz also considers important shifts in American popular culture, recounting the creative renaissance in American film as well as the birth of the Hollywood blockbuster. He discusses how television programs such as All in the Family and Charlie's Angels offered Americans both a reflection of and an escape from the problems gripping the country.In Here First: Autobiographical Essays by Native American Writers, ed.

Cake and a Cup serves up sandwiches, too.
Cake and a Cup serves up sandwiches, too.
That's what we found out when we stopped at this little cafe in an old building at the corner of Highway 88 and Cotton Street in Lockeford.
It was empty, save for one employee, when we stopped in for a late lunch.
Its interior is a little musty but the food and friendly service definitely make up for it.
The menu features specialty coffee drinks, smoothies, pastries, salads and sandwiches.
Covered cake plates on the counter featured an assortment of delectable-looking cupcakes.
We chose a turkey sandwich on whole wheat ($5.95) and a tri-tip sandwich on a roll ($6.95).
The turkey sandwich possibly had the freshest tomatoes we had tasted in a while. They must have been homegrown. The turkey was piled high and there was a mustard/mayo spread. Lettuce, red onion and peppers rounded out this yummy sandwich.
The tri-tip was a real man pleaser.
It had a generous portion of tender, pink slices of meat on a big roll that would have been better toasted.
It was piled high with lettuce, tomato, onion and the jalape�o peppers we were pleased to find out they offered.
We'd like to come back and try the breakfast sandwiches.
We couldn't resist ordering a half-dozen cupcakes ($12), which our server placed in a plastic carrier.
Some cupcakes are just pretty to look at.
These eye-catching treats delivered delish taste, too!
While flavors vary daily, Cup and a Cake serves up cupcakes such as chocolate raspberry, chocolate Kahlua, pineapple mango, lemon cake, red velvet, and more.
Cupcakes can be purchased individually or by the half-dozen and dozen.
If you are a fan of Reese's candy, you will undoubtedly enjoy the chocolate peanut butter topped by a swirly peanut butter frosting with several Reese's Pieces affixed.
The dense cake was positively yummy, and the frosting was finger licking good.
Cupcakes can be special ordered in quantities large and small.
Keep that in mind for your next party.

USA - England, A tale of two keepers
Published Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:26 AM by Shane Barrow
In one of the most anticipated games in American Soccer history, the US Men's National Team opened play in the 2010 FIFA World Cup with an intense 1-1 draw with England in South Africa. The match was played in front of a spirited crowd of 38,646 fans at Royal Bafokeng Stadium and featured a fourth minute goal from England's Steven Gerrard and a 40th minute strike from US midfielder Clint Dempsey.
The US had a number of inspired performances during the match, with goalkeeper Tim Howard leading the way. Appearing in the first World Cup game of his career, the 31-year-old veteran earned ussoccer.com Man of the Match honors by handling every foray into the penalty area with steady decision-making and sure hands, helping to limit England's chances.
A nervous first few minutes for the U.S. resulted in an early goal for England on the first opportunity of the match. Following a throwin, Frank Lampard played a slight ball into the top of the penalty area that missed its intended target, forward Wayne Rooney, but did find its way into an opening for Emile Heskey to turn on defender Jay DeMerit and play a ball toward Gerrard. Making a diagonal run into the area ahead of Ricardo Clark, Gerrard took one touch and then easily slotted the ball past Howard in the fourth minute.
The US evened the match in the 40th minute as Clint Dempsey took possession of the ball 35 yards from goal, turned twice on Gerrard to create some space, and then unleashed a left-footed shot from 25 yards that England goalkeeper Robert Green bundled across the line despite being in perfect position to smother the threat, getting two hands firmly on the ball in front of his body.
"It's important for us to still come away with a point. It's a difficult way to start but I felt the response from the team was strong and there are good things we can take away from the match," said US head coach Bob Bradley. "We've had a good focus the whole time. We've said it so many times that we understand what the first round is about, but we were still excited to start the World Cup playing against England. It's a big game and a big night, and overall we take away positive things as we now get ready for Slovenia."
The shot from distance was one of a handful for the USA in the first half, with Altidore challenging England from outside the penalty area twice, and Landon Donovan coming very close in the 39th minute, also hitting a shot from 25 yards that skated just past the left post. Earlier, Donovan had found the head of Altidore in the area with a dangerous attempt in the 19th minute that the forward could not nod on frame.
The closest chance of the half came from the foot of Altidore, who ran onto a ball played down the left flank from Donovan. Altidore then outmuscled midfielder Jamie Carragher, gaining a step on the second-half substitute and carrying the ball for 35 yards into the area. The 20 year old American forward then squared his hips and hit a right-footed blast from eight yards out that Green parried, only to see the ball ricochet dangerously off the near post and into the air where the US could not collect it and continue the pressure.
During a five-minute stretch beginning in the 70th minute, England challenged Tim Howard with sustained pressure, but a strong defensive performance from the USA's back line of Oguchi Onyewu, Jay DeMerit, Steve Cherundolo and captain Carlos Bocanegra proved flawless in the final 45 minutes. The four defenders were taking the field together for the first time since the team's 2-1 qualifying loss to Mexico in Mexico City on August 12, 2009.
Cherundolo was particularly strong throughout the game, getting involved from the beginning by getting deep down the right flank to challenge on offense and defensively getting the job done against England's speedy Shaun Wright-Phillips. For Onyewu, his strong performance in the air in the second half came in just his fourth game back from his patellar tendon injury more than seven months ago. The 90-minute performance from the defender was a key part of the USA's success.
In the 71st minute, Gerrard almost found Rooney sneaking into the penalty area unmarked, but despite being at full stretch, the forward could only barely get his head on a ball that didn't challenge Howard. Four minutes later, on a quick restart, Rooney took a couple of touches and hit a shot from 20 yards that slid just past the right post, with Howard stretching and appearing to the have the corner of the goal covered.
Just a moment later, an unmarked Wright-Phillips made an overlapping run into the penalty area and saw his powerful shot on target parried out of play by Howard. And two minutes following that attempt, Heskey headed a dangerous Gerrard cross over the bar.
Including Tim Howard, six players in the USA's starting line-up were making their World Cup debut, including strike partners Altidore and Robbie Findley, as well as midfielders Michael Bradley and Clark. Defender DeMerit also made his World Cup debut as a starter, as did substitutes Edson Buddle and Stuart Holden.
Howard's heroics came despite taking a boot from forward Heskey to his right side in the 29th minute while making an excellent diving clearance on a dangerous cross from England defender Glen Johnson. Howard stayed down on the play for three minutes, but returned to action to help the USA earn the draw. The USA's World Cup journey continues on Friday (June 18) against Slovenia at Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg.
