Craig cleared to increase baseball activity
By Jenifer Langosch and Adam McCalvy / MLB.com
ST. LOUIS -- During a visit to foot and ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, N.C., on Thursday, Cardinals first baseman Allen Craig received clearance to increase his baseball activity. That consent keeps open the possibility of Craig being ready to join the Cards' roster should the team advance past the Dodgers and into the World Series.
Craig, who suffered a Lisfranc injury to his left foot on Sept. 4, sought out Anderson's opinion after getting positive feedback from the Cardinals' medical staff. Doctors had estimated a recovery period of four to six weeks, which all along had Craig hopeful that he would be able to return before season's end.
Now that there is no concern about reaggravating the injury, Craig simply has to battle time.
"That's kind of where we're at right now that we have to ramp it up and see what we've got," Craig said on Friday. "Hopefully the timing will be good. I could feel it getting better. I'm at the point where I want to see what I can do."
Even while wearing a soft walking boot, Craig has been hitting off a tee for a few weeks now. He anticipates taking actual batting practice soon to further test the timing of his swing. He resumed playing catch on Friday.
The Cardinals are not as eager to push Craig to run, though he's expected to start some mobility work in the next couple of days. He did do some running in the pool on Friday to prevent too much pounding. Having Craig participate in defensive drills is also not a priority -- the Cards could avoid sending Craig into the field altogether in the World Series by using him as a designated hitter and pinch-hitter.
"We still have to be smart about it," general manager John Mozeliak said. "But the doctor feels he's in a pretty good place and is past that stage where he could [make it worse]. If we can get his bat back, that would be how we think about it."
Cards open NLCS with Miller, Lynn available in 'pen
ST. LOUIS -- Still without an announced Game 4 starter, the Cardinals will open the National League Championship Series with both Lance Lynn and Shelby Miller available out of the bullpen.
Miller has pitched just one inning since he wrapped up his regular season with a Sept. 25 start. He said earlier this week that he would likely need to throw an extended bullpen session to get his arm conditioned for multiple innings if St. Louis planned to give him a start in this series. The fact that the Cards have not yet had him do that perhaps hints that the organization is leaning toward starting Lynn in Game 4.
Lynn last pitched a week ago, losing to the Pirates in Game 2 of the NL Division Series. In that game, Lynn allowed five earned runs on seven hits in 4 1/3 innings. He faced the Dodgers once during the regular season, holding them scoreless and striking out nine in a victorious six-inning outing back in May.
Manager Mike Matheny did not indicate how long the Cardinals will wait before officially naming their starter for Game 4, which will be played Tuesday in Los Angeles (7 p.m. CT on TBS).
Axford gets firsthand look at first-class Cards
ST. LOUIS -- Six weeks into his tenure, the newest Cardinal still hasn't quite cracked the secret to the franchise's success. But John Axford believes there is something about simply putting on a Cards uniform that produces excellence.
"It's a storied franchise, and I think that gets ingrained in their players coming through," Axford said. "From the other side, you always wondered how and why every guy coming in from the 'pen was throwing 98 [mph] and hitting their spots and doing it in a professional manner, under control and always collected out there on the mound. Being on the other side, it was frustrating.
"Now that I'm here, getting to know these guys and knowing their personalities, there seems to be something that is already instilled in them. They have this sense that they're playing for the Cardinals, and that's something bigger than themselves. You don't come into this clubhouse as an individual, you come in here as a team. The guys who have been here before you make sure you're aware of that. I think that's something that's really special to this organization."
Axford made three scoreless appearances for the Brewers against the Cards in the 2011 National League Championship Series, but he was traded to St. Louis in August of this season for another hard-throwing right-handed reliever, Michael Blazek. Milwaukee was willing to trade Axford within the division because the club intended to nontender him after the season; Axford is earning $5 million and will be arbitration-eligible over the winter.
Not surprisingly, Axford has yet to discuss his status with Cardinals officials.
"I definitely want to wait until the offseason," Axford said. "Right now, I just want to help this ballclub get to the World Series and win the World Series, any way I can."
Worth noting
• The Cardinals stuck with the same starting lineup on Friday that they used to win Games 4 and 5 of the NL Division Series. It includes Pete Kozma batting eighth and playing shortstop for the fourth straight game.
• Mozeliak said that he and Matheny talked about possibly adding a third left-handed reliever for this series, but they eventually decided to keep just two (Randy Choate and Kevin Siegrist ). Mozeliak said that having Edward Mujica, who threw a clean inning in the NLDS, available to face left- and right-handed batters helped finalize the team's decision to stand pat.
• Former Cardinals managers Red Schoendienst and Tony La Russa are scheduled to throw out ceremonial first pitches prior to Game 2 on Saturday (airing at 3 p.m. CT on TBS). The Cards will also hold a pregame pep rally in the parking lot of Ballpark Village from noon-2:30 p.m. Former pitcher Jason Simontacchi will sign autographs there beginning at 1:30.
• Carlos Beltran and his wife, Jessica, have announced that they will host a Celebrity Fashion Show in Puerto Rico on Nov. 16, to benefit the Carlos Beltran Foundation. The event, which will be held at 7 p.m. ET at the Dorado Beach Resort, will feature Major League players and their wives modeling the fashions of designer Gustavo Arango.

Drug passed on to fish boosts their confidenceBrady Dennis
Published: February 16 2013 - 3:00AM
WHAT happens to a fish on drugs?
If it's a wild European perch exposed to a popular anxiety medication, chances are it wanders away from the safety of its group and devours food quicker than its peers - behaviour that could have profound consequences, says a forthcoming report in the journal Science.
Researchers from Umea University, in Sweden, examined how perch behaved when exposed to oxazepam, a drug commonly used to treat anxiety disorders in humans.
The scientists exposed the fish to concentrations of the drug similar to those found in waters near densely populated areas of Sweden.
The result?
''Normally, perch are shy and hunt in schools. This is a known strategy for survival and growth,'' Tomas Brodin, an ecologist and lead author of the Science article, said. ''But those who swam in oxazepam became considerably bolder.'' They ''lost interest in hanging out with the group''.
''We think it's working through stress relief on the fish,'' Professor Brodin said. ''It removes the fear of being eaten.''
The researchers said such behaviour, coupled with the tendency to eat faster, could lead to ecological changes in the real world. For example, if they consumed more plankton, it could lead to an increase in algae.
Professor Brodin and his colleagues noted that residue from a ''veritable cocktail of drugs'' could be found in waterways worldwide.
The US Food and Drug Administration has said that the main way that drugs enter water systems is by passing through individual patients.
''The solution to this problem isn't to stop medicating people who are ill,'' said Jerker Fick, a co-author of the Science report, ''but to try to develop sewage treatment plants that can capture environmentally hazardous drugs.''

Beloiters from around the world have helped the college meet its ambitious 2013-14 annual fund goal. According to the development office, gifts to the Beloiter Fund exceeded $3.3 million this year. That's approximately $300,000 more than last year's goal and constitutes a 45 percent increase from five years ago.
Gifts to the Beloiter Fund support operational and physical needs across campus, as well as initiatives such as Renewing the Historic Core, scholarships, the Liberal Arts in Practice and athletics.
"Achieving this record-setting Beloiter Fund goal demonstrates the incredible belief in and support for the direction, goals and aspirations of Beloit College among our alumni, parents and friends, including many of you," said Mark Wold, senior director of alumni and parent relations and annual support. "We know that Beloiters lead the lives they choose for themselves, not lives chosen for them. This incredible support for the college makes transformational experiences‒both in and out of the classroom‒possible, and provides students with the tools to go forth to live lives of purpose and consequence."
A few things to know about the Beloiter Fund and this year's gifts:
- The number of gifts increased this year over last.
- Gifts to "greatest need" made up the largest share of this year's contributions.
- Total giving to the college‒through planned gifts, grants and more‒exceeded $9 million this year.

- didimala-lodge-worlds-largest-strawbale-bldgDidimala Lodge's owners made only two requests: make our building audacious, and make it green. Edwin Anderssen from Dumani Architects won the bid. Situated 30 miles north of South Africa's capital, the five star lodge was built from 10,000 wheat straw bales. Wheat straw is an ideal building material since it is cellulose-based, meaning there is nothing for the critters to eat, and it is essentially a byproduct that might otherwise have gone to waste. To date, such luminaries as Nelson Mandela and Tony Blair have experienced the luxurious side of sustainable architecture here. Let's hope many more will do the same.1

Attention all sunflowers. For Northern Europeans, there are at least six months of the year when the sun is - how can we put this? - an infrequent visitor. So the decision is yours - pop down to the Electric Beach for a quick fix of UV, or follow the sun to one of our recommended luxury winter sun destinations.
Tom, Original Traveller
As the evenings close in and the temperature drops, we at Original Travel brace ourselves for a scenario that goes something like this.
Scene 1. Winter. The Original Travel office. The phone rings. Original Traveller: 'Original Travel, XXXXXX speaking, how can I help?' Slightly desperate sounding potential client: 'I need a holiday.' Original Traveller: 'Well you've come to the right place! Did you have anywhere in mind?' Slightly desperate sounding potential client: 'Somewhere hot.'
Scene 2. Still Winter, but a few short weeks later. A beautiful sun-drenched beach. No longer vitamin D deficient Original Travel client: 'This is much, much more like it.'
The End.
Cue rapturous applause and bouquets of flowers strewn on the stage.

43.1211 Action against government exclusive remedy-Defense and settlement of other actions.Cite as [A.S.C.A. § 43.1211]
(a) The remedy by suit against the government as provided by this chapter for damage to or loss of property, or personal injury or death caused by the negligent or wrongful act or omission of any employee of the government while acting within the scope of his office or employment, shall hereafter be exclusive of any other civil action or proceeding by reason of the same subject matter against the employee whose act or omission gave rise to the claim, or his estate.
(b) The Attorney General shall defend any civil action or proceeding brought in American Samoa against any employee of the government, or his estate, for any such damage or injury. The employee against whom such civil action or proceeding is brought shall deliver within such time after date of service or knowledge of service as determined by the Attorney General, all process served upon him or an attested true copy thereof to his immediate superior and that person shall promptly furnish copies of the pleadings and process therein to the Attorney General.
(c) The Attorney General may compromise or settle any claim asserted in such civil action or proceeding in the manner provided in 43.1210 and with the same effect.History: 1967, PL 10-1.
Case Notes:
Court granted motion to strike named defendants LBJ Tropical Medical Center and individual government doctor because medical center is not an entity capable of being sued, and government tort liability act precludes naming individual employees as defendants. Aga v. American Samoa Government, 3 ASR2d 130 (1986).
Territorial statute has the effect of immunizing territorial employees from personal liability for torts they commit while acting within the scope of their employment, provided that the injured person chooses to proceed against the government employer. A.S.C.A. § 43.1211(a). Tevaseu v. American Samoa Government, 5 A.S.R.2d 10 (1987).
Individual government employee should not be stricken as defendant in a suit against territorial government under government tort liability statute unless and until it is shown that the employee was acting within the scope of his employment at the time of the alleged injury. A.S.C.A. § 43.1211(a). Tevaseu v. American Samoa Government, 5 A.S.R.2d 10 (1987).
Statute immunizing government employees from personal liability for wrongful acts committed within the scope of their employment bars suit against employee only after it has been established that the wrongful conduct underlying the claim was committed within the scope of employment. A.S.C.A. § 43.1211(a). Lutu v. American Samoa Government, 7 A.S.R.2d 61 (1988).

During this time, their technique has improved tremendously and they now play with a richer tone and vibrato. Susan has taught them many new techniques, and gives them various tips to strengthen their overall capability. Her style of teaching is one of coach, mentor and guide. From the way she teaches the children, we know that she is passionate about the violin and this comes through strongly. She is patient but firm with the children and her loving approach has made learning the violin an enjoyable experience for the children. With Susan as their teacher they have completed their Trinity violin grades up to 4 and will be appearing for grade 5 in Nov15. Thanks Susan"

Here is a link to a presentation at an EMBO meeting discussing our general research area: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioNZppFlKY Our latest research details how bacterial predators protect themselves from suicide when attacking prey, published in Nature Communications. We discovered that a protective ankyrin (red, figure below) blocks the active site of the endopeptidase enzyme used to modify prey cells. I have been awarded EMBO Young Investigator status for 2014-2017; prospective PhD students can look at the associated benefits of this on the EMBO website. Biography I grew up in Wales (Barry to be precise) and studied for both my undergraduate degree (Biochemistry) and PhD (structural biology of therapeutic enzymes) at the University of Birmingham, before beginning a 6 and a half year stint in Canada in the laboratory of Natalie Strynadka at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. These postdoctoral years involved the study of how bacteria build their cell walls, and the associated targeting of these processes by antibiotics (funded by two fellowships from MSFHR & CIHR). I thus began a bit of a love affair with bacteria, bacterial disease, mechanisms of infection & disease control. Now, Vancouver may be the world's most liveable city, but it's not Birmingham. So, in 2010 I came back to the UK to start my own group looking into how we can utilise a "living antibiotic", the bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus, to tackle bacterial pathogens. In 2012 I was presented with an ICAAC Young Microbiologist of the Year Award, administered by the American Society for Microbiology (http://asm.org/index.php/awards/21-awards-a-grants/current-laureates/103-andrew-lee-lovering-2012-icaac-young-investigator-award-laureate). As mentioned above, I have also been awarded a prestigious EMBO Young Investigator award, to run between 2014 and 2017. Teaching I teach on several undergraduate and postgraduate modules, including Bio311 (antibiotic resistance component) and Bio305 (cell wall biosynthesis and staphylococcal & streptococcal disease topics). Postgraduate supervision For a list of possible PhD projects offered by Dr Lovering: www.findaphd.com/search/customlink.asp?inst=birm-Biol&supersurname=Lovering Research Research Theme within School of Biosciences: Molecular Microbiology X-Ray crystallography and structure: function relationships of bacterial proteins My laboratory uses X-ray crystallography to study the molecular basis of protein function. We are interested in a variety of bacterial systems - especially those with the potential for antibiotic development. One of these systems involves analysis of the remarkable predatory bacterium Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus (in collaboration with Professor Liz Sockett at Nottingham). Predatory bacteria feed off and eventually kill other bacteria, and thus research into this process has potential therapeutic possibilities. Bdellovibrio is the model predatory organism, and possesses an unusual lifestyle where it enters its prey through the outer membrane and resides in the periplasm. The host cell changes shape (forming a structure termed the "bdelloplast") and the Bdellovibrio cell grows and replicates using material obtained from prey breakdown. Progeny then exit the dead host to start the cycle anew. Host-independent forms of Bdellovibrio may be grown separate from prey in rich media. We are using X-ray crystallography to study Bdellovibrio proteins with the aim of understanding: the precise function of proteins involved in predation events how Bdellovibrio responds to the challenges of intraperiplasmic growth what specifically regulates the alteration to a host-independent (non-predatory) lifestyle Many of these proteins are unique to Bdellovibrio, and are thus termed part of the "predatosome". Of course, there is much more to study, not forgetting prey recognition events, membrane entry, bdelloplast formation, host material hydrolysis, predation on biofilms, and signalling/regulation of all of the above! Reviews on this topic are included in the references below and short summaries can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bdellovibrio and by downloading the PDF www.sgm.ac.uk/pubs/micro_today/pdf/110805.pdf . The laboratory has a number of other collaborations and projects ongoing, both within and external to Birmingham. Figure 1: Bdellovibrio predation lifecycle Other activities The lion's share of my free time is taken up by my young family; outside this I favour sleep. Outside that, I like reading the Observer (disclaimer: other newspapers are available), watching sport, daydreaming, cooking & the great outdoors. Microbrew beer is welcome at any point and my lab like to visit the Birmingham Beer Festival each year for scientific discourse in the company of real ale.

Angioplasty is the technique of mechanically widening a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel; typically as a result of atherosclerosis. Tightly folded balloons are passed into the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size using water pressures some 75 to 500 times normal blood pressure (6 to 20 atmospheres).
The word is composed of the medical combining forms of the Greek words αγγειος aggeîos meaning "vessel" and πλαστός plastós meaning "formed" or "moulded". Angioplasty has come to include all manner of vascular interventions typically performed in a minimally invasive or percutaneous method.

You seem to have received everything in a very traditional way, no need to have doubts. The reason why the samaya isn't explained in greater detail I think is because it can make people obsess with rules instead of enjoying the practice. In particular if you are a beginner. When you have devotion, compassion and continuously do the practice with great joy you will keep the samyas automatically.Shemmy wrote: The vows were invoked while the empowerment was being given, that we would be faithful to the lama and keep the samayas at the cost of our life. I feel the teacher is excellent, just a little less practically oriented than I would like, with not much explanation about how to practice/apply teachings.
The sadhana was the medium length Kater Dorsem from the Dudjom Tersar, and I feel the sadhana is easy and and powerful, I have practiced a lot of types of meditation, Buddhist and non-Buddhist and I am very inspired by the practice. It seems just the thing to do after doing my ngondro.
There are a huge amount off material on the Dudjom Tersar and Vajrayana available on the internet and as soon as any Lama come to Thailand to teach, like Pakchok Rinpoche, you can resolve any questions that you have. Dudjom Tersar contains a huge amounts of teachings, it will keep you busy for the rest of your life.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orange County Sheriff's Office released a statement on Friday saying awareness was being heightened throughout Orange County Public Schools after a mass shooting killed nearly 30 at a Connecticut elementary school.
"We are deeply saddened by this senseless tragedy," said Demings. "It is unthinkable that someone would want to do harm to children as they were with their teachers in elementary school classrooms."
Authorities in Connecticut say the gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Friday morning at 9:40 a.m. CBS reports his mother was a teacher at the school.
Seminole County Superintendent Walt Griffin released a statement on Friday expressing sorrow for the school.
"As superintendent of Seminole County Public Schools, I want to assure the parents, staff, students and neighbors that we pledge the highest level of safety standards at our facilities," said Griffin. "Though we don't specifically speak to matters of security, know that there is nothing more important to me, to this school board and to this community than the safety of our students."
As children ran to their parents outside the Connecticut school some said teachers saved lives.
One child told reporters, "I saw some of the bullets flying through the hall that I was standing next to, then a teacher grabbed me and pulled me into her classroom."
It's a worst-case scenario that Orange County school leaders said they're prepared to handle.
"We conduct school emergency response training for each and every one of our 23,000 staff members, so that they know their role and practice their roles and responsibilities in times of crisis such as this," said OCPS Board Chairman Bill Sublette.
Even so, teachers fear they don't have enough training.
Diana Moore, president of the Orange County Teacher's Association told Local 6 that she thinks all schools should have lockdown training every month, but they don't.
"I know I have done lockdown training, but we haven't done them in a while. We've done tornado drills. We've done fire drills," said Moore.
However, district leaders said security plans are in place.
In fact, there's a master security plan and each school is equipped with it's own individual plan.
School security chiefs said 80 principals have trained alongside deputies to handle "active shooter scenarios."
Also, right now, two school resource officers keep watch at every high school, one at each middle school, and deputies rotate among elementary schools.
While security continues to increase when needed, OCPS experts said there is no way to prevent every tragedy.
"They're public schools, they're not prisons, they're not jails," said Sublette. "We have no intention of making them lockdown facilities with barbed wire around them."
Local 6 spoke to parents at Red Bug Lake Elementary on Friday who said they struggle on what to tell their children about the shooting.
"I think I would find out how much she knows first, "said mother Carmen Luciano. "I wouldn't want to burden her with extra information but I do think it's important to discuss."
Local 6 spoke to child psychologist Dr. Andrew Pittington on how parents can discuss the shooting with their children. View the video by clicking here.
Deputies asked for residents to report any suspicious activity.
"As we continue to monitor the unfolding situation in Connecticut, we want to remind parents and children to remain vigilant at all times," Demings said.
It's not the first scare Central Florida has had in the past few days. On Thursday, Winter Park High School was on a modified lockdown after a Facebook threat was received about shooting the school. Police are trying to contact the person but haven't released the name.
Winter Park police say they do not believe Thursday's threat was connected to what happened in Flagler County or Connecticut, but many parents and students are still feeling very worried about attending school.
"It's very scary," said Monica Sanders, who has two children who attend Winter Park High School. "It's almost like you don't really want to send them to school."
For Winter Park students, the reaction was the same.
"It's hard to imagine that there's somebody out there that's that cruel," said student Nailah Bowen.
"Yesterday was probably one of the scariest in my life to be honest and it was just like horrifying to think that someone could come in and shoot us," said student Olivia Phillips.
Rachel Kaufman also came to pick up children from Winter Park High on Friday. Kaufman grew up in Connecticut, just 15 minutes from where the shooting took place.
"I mean Connecticut is definitely the last place that I would have suspected for this to happen especially with how important security is in the public school system there," said Kaufman. "I don't really know what is safe to be honest."
A spokeswoman for Volusia County schools says the district plans to have guidance counselors on high alert on Monday to look for kids who may be having trouble processing everything that has happened. Volusia district officials will also likely meet on Monday to go over security plans.
Marion County is now out of school for winter break, but district officials will likely review their security plan once they return in January.

Fayetteville Police are looking for a suspect who attacked a Fayetteville woman Saturday morning in the parking lot of the Kohl's department store located at the Fayette Pavilion.
The April 27 incident occurred at approximately 10:07 a.m. as the customer exited her vehicle and walked towards the door, said Det. Mike Whitlow.
Whitlow said the woman was approached by a black male, 16-20 years of age, 5'7"-5'9" in height and a very thin build. The man was wearing black pants, a black shirt over a red shirt, black shoes and a black baseball cap with a red bill and logo, Whitlow added.
Whitlow said the man grabbed the victim by the collar and threw her to the ground. He then took her purse and fled, running north through the Kohl's parking lot toward Pavilion Parkway. The victim suffered injuries to her arm and neck. She was treated at the scene by paramedics, said Whitlow.
The incident at Kohl's was captured on store video and the suspect was seen walking in the store prior to the robbery, Whitlow said.
Fayetteville Police and Fayette County deputies searched the area but were unable to locate the suspect. Fayetteville Police believe he may have had a vehicle waiting in the Dick's parking lot and may have tried to rob someone there a few minutes before he walked to Kohl's, Whitlow said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Mike Whitlow at 770-461-4441.
Below are composite security camera shots of the suspect.

Carpenter named NL Player of Week
Cards' ace goes 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA to earn distinction
By Jeremy Smith / MLB.com
Carpenter, who led the league in innings pitched and was tied for the league lead in wins and complete games, capped off his award-winning week Saturday with a complete-game win over the Houston Astros to become the first player to win 20 games this season.
In that game, Carpenter -- whose consistent excellence has made him a strong candidate for this year's Cy Young Award -- bested seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens, allowing two runs on eight hits and striking out eight in St. Louis' 4-2 win. It was Carpenter's league-leading seventh complete game and his 12th win in as many decisions. The last Cardinals pitcher to win more than 12 consecutive games was Bob Gibson, with 15 straight victories in 1968.
"I can't remember a pitcher as long as I've been managing who has been so good every time out," manager Tony La Russa said after Saturday's game. "He just concentrates about as good as he can concentrate."
Carpenter, who was the National League's starting pitcher in the 76th All-Star Game, went 2-0 with a 1.69 ERA and struck out 13 overall during the week. He logged 16 2/3 innings, while allowing 15 hits, three earned runs and three walks.
As part of the award, Bank of America will make a $1,000 donation to the Little League Urban Initiative on Carpenter's behalf and Tourneau, the world's largest watch store, will present Carpenter with a Tourneau luxury Swiss timepiece.

Yes, according to my studies for example "the center of sunlit sky", for me also it works as I wrote here:Namdrol wrote:Yes, that is the Mahāyāna definition of omniscience.Acchantika wrote: Only if we consider unimpeded knowledge of all phenomena to be the same as knowing all details about everything with certainty.
The two truths division is only from deceiving perspective of students (the seeming): conventional- it is not possible to know by them the infinitive cause/cognitions of any object, ultimate-is not possible for sentient beings to have the freedom from all reference points.
For buddha, who no longer limited sentient being, there is no such division: if buddha would know precisely the seeming (omniscience) it will be the total freedom from all reference points.
It also explains my other posts: the object-side perspective as not soteriologically efficient for sentient beings. In contrast to: a Buddha do not need to catch anything because already "self-liberated" which means "the omniscience=unblurred unimpaired vision".

U.S. national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann has named his 23-man roster for the team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers at Costa Rica and at home against Mexico.
Landon Donovan has returned to the A-team as expected, after enjoying a terrific Gold Cup campaign last month. Young dual-nationals John Anthony Brooks and Aron Johannsson have both received their first World Cup qualifier call-ups, and Brooks could be cap-tied with an appearance in either game. (Johannsson, a former Icelandic youth international, is already committed to the U.S. after completing a one-time switch.)
"The Costa Rica game in San Jose is the biggest game in 2013 for all of us because we want to win there," Klinsmann said in a release. "We want to qualify as soon as possible for the World Cup in Brazil. We want to get the first ever three points in World Cup qualifying in Costa Rica."
The U.S. is in the midst of a 12-game winning streak, and the team is now just three wins away from equaling Spain's all-time record of 15. The team sits atop the Hexagonal with a 4-1-1 record through six of 10 matches.
The U.S. plays Costa Rica on Sept. 6 at 10 p.m. ET at Estadio Nacional on beIN Sport. Four days later, the Americans host Mexico at Crew Stadium in an 8 p.m. ET kickoff on ESPN and UniMas.
GOALKEEPERS: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS: DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla), Matt Besler (Sporting Kansas City) John Anthony Brooks (Hertha Berlin), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy), Michael Orozco (Puebla)

It all started one fateful day when Steve and I were filming a wedding at the beach. Other than sand in my eyes—and shoes—and a hideous case of wind-blown beach hair, the day was going quite well. That is, until the first dance, when the handle of Steve's Panasonic DVC80 snapped right off. He caught the camera before it hit the ground and we managed through the rest of the evening.
Since the camera was 4 years old and had 1,250 hours on it, we decided not to have it repaired. It was now time to go HD. Here's where the Expanding Equipment Theory comes into effect. This theory states that for every one piece of equipment you buy, you will need three more. We needed two HD cameras, which actually means four cameras (two as backups), two new mics and lights, batteries, two new cases, HD monitors, and the supernova: two new editing computers to handle the HD footage.
We got through this nightmare of purchasing decisions and implementation because of one thing: our connections with other videographers. We network religiously in a number of ways. Consequently, we knew where to go for advice, and who we could depend on for reliable services.
For starters, there's an amazing network of extremely talented video and film producers just a keypad away, who actually enjoy sharing their knowledge. Forums can be an absolutely invaluable resource. Two excellent forums where we network are Video University (VideoUniversity.com), and WedFACT (WedFACT.net).
Many folks read forums and glean lots of wisdom, but if you're not participating, you're only reaping a portion of the rewards. Ask and ye shall receive. But, it's wise to introduce yourself to the community before asking for help. Then be prepared to receive a lot of overwhelming and sometimes contradictory answers and advice. Here's where the work comes in; to benefit from a forum community (or any community, for that matter), you must invest enough time in it to discern who really knows what they're talking about and whose knowledge is applicable to your work. Fortunately, these forums are a very enjoyable place to hang out, so much so that the real danger is not that you won't log enough time there to benefit from them, but rather, that you'll hang out there too much instead of attending to business!
Local associations are another way to stay current and connected. In the U.S. there are hotbeds of video talent that are directly related to participation in a local association. This is not an accident. Belonging to a network of videographers who share tips, knowledge, and ideas is a win/win situation for all participants.
By building relationships based on trust and respect, you can be confident that other videographers will have your back in an emergency. You will also have colleagues whom you can refer when you're booked and who will give you referrals in return.
In our local association, Professional Videographers Network (www.pvn.org) we have bought, sold, rented, and borrowed equipment; found shooters; given and received referrals; been inspired; experienced new video products; and made lasting friendships.
Through networking within our industry, we found Brian Morris of 2nd Mile Productions at Video University. He designed a beautiful custom web theater for us that is simple to manage and provides our clients with a means of watching and sharing their films online in style.
Through Video University we also found George Loch of Prologue Media, whom we contracted to design our new brand. He is currently creating a production logo for us. It will be the first we've had since 1989 when we scrapped the animated flying balls we got from a news studio in Mexico. It seemed like a good idea at the time—then again, so did the mullet.
It was at a convention that we connected with Tony Hale of The DV Shop, whom we ultimately relied upon to build our new editing systems. Conventions, such as those put on by WEVA and The 4EVER Group, are a veritable cluster of knowledge. The seminars are loaded with information, of course, but just chatting with attendees can prove to be a gold mine. Roaming within the confines of the conventions you'll find tried-and-true veteran knowledge, neoteric knowledge, and the fresh perspective of the newly initiated.
Be outgoing and hook up with these comrades; you'll be surprised at how much you can learn, especially if you're willing to listen. I love to listen, but I also love to talk. At a recent seminar presented by LaDonna Moore-Aiken, I got a flood of ideas. Some of the insight she provided was new to me, even though we talk occasionally. Why was that? Must be because I'd been spending more time talking than listening!
I've never met a person from whom I couldn't learn at least one thing. Being successful and creative requires learning all you can, and then choosing what information to retain and what to discard. Continue your education through networking and surround yourself with a strong network of industry friends who add to your business well-being. Ahhh, well-being … it's a beautiful thing.

When I was 5-year old I started to watch my first Anime Pokemon and Dragon Ball Z, later on I got really into YuGiOh, but after YuGiOh finished on television I never really watched other Anime anymore. Didnt know that it was Anime though, but the first Anime I begun to watch afer all that was Naruto, when I was 7. Naruto got me back into Anime, and I still watch it.
Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Dango, Daikazokuuuu!
I never really left anime but SAO got me to this site which expanded my preferences for anime.
Watch Critical Role, the best show i have ever seen!
the anime that got me back was fate/zero, it brought back the old anime flame.
I stopped watching anime altogether for almost a year, but this summer I have been watching attack on titan and it completely rekindled my love for the genre.
the anime that got me to start watching again was Speed Grapher
so many new shows
Interesting question
I actually saw my first anime when I was like 4. It was a kid's anime movie about witches or something and from that point loved anime ever since. But I kind of fell out of it and "forgot" how much depth anime could have. Elfen Lied brought me back to anime pretty hard and then Full Metal Alchemist solidified it.
<edit> And then of course, Ergo Proxy is the anime I've been searching to re-experience ever since. The actual depth and artistic merit of the anime.
v - oh yah, death note was one among the list that got me back into anime as well. It was really a few series that got me hooked again.
"Hey mister! I am mad scientist! It's so cool!" - Okabe
When I was in high school, I went through my Junior and Senior year thinking that I was too cool for anime. So I've been out of the loop from the anime fandom for about six years. It wasn't until sometime last year when I decided to check out a show that my brother told me about: Death Note.
I major in English at school so I'm pretty snobbish when it comes to what kind of shows I'll watch; if the plot is too boring or just plain stupid, I'll write it off as something not worth my time. Death Note was a show that came completely out of left-field. Everything about it was so fascinating: the animation was gorgeous, the music was grand and the execution of the story was sublime. Granted, the show wasn't too deep or super meaningful but it was exciting. I loved (most of) the characters and even tolerated that second half of the series that's usually hated on.
But anyway, Death Note was the gateway show that helped me realize why I loved anime in the first place. Actually, scratch that, it did something even better: it introduced me to the potential of the medium. That's why it will always be one of my most-loved shows.

Same for me! I pretty much blew off anime during Junior High - post college as well because I thought I was too cool for it (despite growing up watching Naruto, Bleach, etc). The main show that got me back into anime was probably Heaven's Lost Property. Despite the fact it's not all that deep, I think it's absolutely hilarious! Which catapulted me into marathoning shows for the past year.
It was Naruto that brought me back to this wonderful world
Where else would you rather be?
Ponyo <3
Please read my "About me"
For me it was Madoka Magica. I'm fairly late to the anime scene having only watched Sailor Moon and Black Cat before I found Madoka.
Clearly, I don't know what I'm doing.
It was attack on titan for me as well. Ever since 2010 onwards, i gave up my hopes for the anime industry because it was bombarded with lot of recycled ideas that we've already seen tons of times in the past and the amount of fan service anime keeps on just increasing. Thanks to attack on titan, i got back into anime and made me remembered why i loved the anime in the first place. I just wish that there will be more original anime and successful adaptions.

Howls Moving Castle
Inuyasha, of all things.
Back when Toonami wasn't hidden away on Sunday mornings, I used to casually watch the shows they aired. I vaguely remember watching shows like Yu-Gi-Oh and Wolf's Rain, but the one show that really caught my interest was Inuyasha. I remember staying up late to watch it on school nights, and I was fairly young (and stupid) so I probably didn't get much out of it.
I stopped bothering with anime entirely for a while, though I'd occasionally be reminded about it. Until finally at the end of my junior year of high school something triggered enough nostalgia in me to make me re-watch Inuyasha out of curiosity. Because I had such a vague memory of it, I felt rather childish for watching a "cartoon" meant for young kids. After the first episode, I almost stopped. Second; kept going. The more I watched the more I realized that there was actual story and development, even if only enough to be casually appreciated, but it was still way more than I ever expected.
Watched the whole first series in about two or three weeks and thought to myself, "maybe there's more to this media form than I thought". But rather than take recommendations from friends or popular websites, I just stumbled upon a Youtube page with a list of anime. One name stood out as unusual, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". And thus I begin my first viewing of an amazing series on a whim late at night, and feel in love by the end of the second episode.
Since then it's been an interesting experience slowly exploring this fun, unusual, and occasionally beautiful art form.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Weather conditions that at least temporarily calmed allowed firefighters to gain ground early Wednesday on a pair of wildfires that forced thousands of residents to leave their homes.
Evacuation orders were lifted for all of the more than 20,000 residents in and around San Diego on Tuesday night just a few hours after they were called, and all but a handful of those in 1,200 homes and businesses told to evacuate in Santa Barbara County had been allowed to return.
The 2.47-square mile blaze was 25 percent contained. It was hoped that number would increase to 50 percent by day's end, San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Lee Swanson said.
The Santa Barbara County blaze, 250 miles to the northwest, was 50 percent contained Wednesday morning. Firefighters also adjusted its size downward to 600 acres.
Two firefighters suffered minor injuries — one heat-related and one from smoke inhalation, Calfire Battalion Chief Ray Cheney said. Neither blaze caused any home damage, but another hot, dry and gusty day was expected as California baked in a spring heat wave as high pressure sat over the West.
In the mountains of southwestern New Mexico, crews battling a 9-square mile wildfire are preparing for high winds this week. And in the Texas Panhandle, about 2,100 residents have started returning to their homes after wildfire burned at least 156 structures. The fire in the Fritch area was 85 percent contained Wednesday.
In San Diego County, record-high temperatures were forecast as were winds of 25 mph with gusts up to 50 mph, which could complicate efforts.
"It's starting to pick up already," Swanson said of the winds. "But our objective is to get to 50 percent containment or more by this evening."
Poway Unified School District reopened schools Wednesday a day after flames erupted in the fire-prone Rancho Bernardo area of the city, driven by hot, dry Santa Ana winds and forced students to be evacuated from two elementary schools and two high schools.
By late afternoon, the flames ripped through canyons to approach expensive homes and new subdivisions on the ridges. It spread to Rancho Santa Fe, one of the nation's wealthiest communities, known for its multimillion-dollar homes, golfing and horseback riding.
Black and gray smoke billowed over northern San Diego, filled with whirling ash and embers that created small spot fires. Flames crept within yards of some homes before firefighters doused them.
"There's a lot of work to be done today still," Rancho Santa Fe Fire Chief Tony Michel told reporters Wednesday morning. "There are a lot of hotspots throughout the whole area of the fire. Crews will be working diligently to put those fires out. The winds are going to be a problem."
Shortly after the fire ignited, the city of San Diego issued between 16,000 and 17,000 evacuation orders, according to San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore. The Sheriff's Department issued an additional 5,000 evacuation orders outside city limits, Gore said. All the evacuations were called off by around 9 p.m. Tuesday.
Meanwhile, in the Santa Barbara County community of Lompoc, heavy brush and downed power lines provided special challenges for firefighters, said David Sadecki of the county Fire Department.
Some 689 firefighters remained on scene overnight building lines around the blaze.
"We hope the containment lines hold today," Sadecki said. "We want them to be wind-tested."

Roswell Speaker Combo...One side works one doesn't
I have the quad speaker bar with lights etc...had something pull my quick connect apart no other damage to the wires that i could see...think it hit dock during a bad storm, but I replace the connectors at boat going to amp and connector going to speakers. Now only passengers side works..switched wire to opposite poles and still nothing...Dont think it is a broke wire, they are taped up and inside the plastic conduit and were not jerked out. Any ideas??
Shawn2008 Outback LS
Use a multimeter to check the speakers DC resistance on that side of the combo bar plug. With two speakers in parallel you will have a 2-ohm load or a little less. If you get 2-ohm continuity then it's not internal in the bar. If the circuit is open then it is conclusively within the bar. Use the same logic with the tower harness.
You simply have to measure at various isolated points to narrow the focus.

AMD yesterday announced
its M690 mobile chipset family, formerly known as RS690M, for
AMD Turion 64-based notebooks – M690V
and M690T. The new mobile chipsets take the previously announced AMD 690G desktop
chipset and pairs it with mobile-centric power saving features. AMD
integrates the new power saving features into the ATI Radeon X1200 integrated
graphics core.
New to the integrated ATI Radeon X1200 graphics core is a power-saving dynamic
video memory allocation scheme. With the new scheme, system memory is
automatically allocated to the graphics processor on the fly, at the GPU's
request. Intel implements a similar scheme in its graphics core since the
fruition of the Intel
Extreme Graphics core.
AMD has also integrated a new side-port memory feature in M690T chipsets, which
allows notebook manufacturers to provide dedicated video memory to the ATI
Radeon X1200 graphics core. AMD supports up to 128MB of video memory connected
to the side-port bus.
The rest of the graphics core is identical to its desktop variant. AVIVO video
processing features are available for enhanced video playback. The ATI Radeon
X1200 graphics core features MPEG-2, MPEG-4 and WMV9 hardware accelerated video
playback. There is also an integrated TV encoder for component, composite and
S-Video outputs.
An integrated dual-link 24-bit LVDS interface provides connectivity to displays
while a TMDS interface provides support for DVI and HDMI outputs. As with the
desktop AMD 690G, the M690 features an integrated high-definition audio
controller for HDMI audio functions. HDCP 1.1 content protection is also
The AMD M690T chipset features additional output capabilities via internal DVO
port. Manufacturers are able to add additional output capabilities using DVO
compatible chips. However, a manufacturer can only take advantage of the DVO
port or side-port memory, not both at the same time.
Other notable features of the chipset include one PCIe x16 interconnect for
external graphics, four PCIe x1 links for other devices, 10 USB 2.0 ports, SATA
3.0 Gbps, ATA133, TPM 1.1 and 1.2, high-definition audio and PCI v2.3 support.

The Magic of Mock Relays
49 comments post a comment
I just purchased the most amazing relay from Mock Electronics. Now I'm being carried away with dreams of using several thousand of these little beauties to construct a simple 4-bit processor.
In my previous blog, Measuring a Building's Height With a Barometer, I mentioned that I've been invited to give a guest lecture at the local ITT Technical Institute here in Madison, Ala.
As part of this talk, which is planned for the evening of July 29, I want to give the students some real "hands-on" experience -- seeing and touching things like relays and vacuum tubes and so forth. Now, I do have a couple of relays lying around here in my office (who doesn't?), but these little scamps tend to be relatively modern -- being presented in transparent plastic packages, for example -- which doesnt convey quite the sort of impression I'm hoping to achieve.
Thus it was that, on my way into work this morning, I took a detour via that downtown electronics wonderland known as Mock Electronics (see also Mock Electronics: An Eclectic Emporium of Electronic Elements and And that's when I said "D'oh!").
If truth be told, I'm happy for any excuse to visit the folks at Mock Electronics to discover any new antique delights with which they invariably tempt me. When I explained what I was planning with regard to my talk and asked if they happened to have any old relays lying around, I certainly wasn't surprised when they whipped out the little beauty you see below.
First of all we have the coil, which is wound around a soft iron core, and which can be energized using the two contacts "C1" and C2" (when I returned to my office, my chum Ivan immediately hooked this little beauty up to his power supply and we discovered that it switches at around 4V and consumes only 20mA; based on this, we assume it was actually intended for 5V operation). Next, we have an iron yoke, which provides a low reluctance path for the magnetic flux.
Then we have the armature, which pivots around the left-hand side of the yoke. When no voltage is applied to the coil, a spring pulls the armature such that it is held against contact "A." This means that whatever voltage value is being presented to "input" contact "A" is conducted through the armature to "output" contact "Y."
When the coil is energized, it attracts the end of the armature in the upper portion of this image, pulling it to the right. Since the armature pivots around the yoke, this causes the end of the armature in the lower portion of this image to move to the left, thereby disengaging from contact "A" and pressing against contact "B." Now, whatever voltage value is being presented to "input" contact "B" is conducted through the armature to "output" contact "Y."
The wonderful thing about the relay in the image above is that it offers such a beautiful combination of simplicity (of function) and sophistication (of implementation). Observe how everything can be quickly and easily adjusted, such as the positions of the contacts and the tension on the spring.
Depending on how you wire this up, it could act as a simple isolating buffer, where output "Y" = 0V (logic 0) if the coil is not energized or 5V (logic 1) if the coil is energized; or as an inverter, where output "Y" = 5V (logic 1) if the coil is not energized or 0V (logic 0) if the coil is energized. From this, we could construct AND, OR, NAND, and NOR gates; then XOR and NXOR gates; and then registers and so forth.
Yes, of course, you know me so well... now I'm being carried away with dreams of getting several thousand of these little beauties and using them to construct something like a simple 4-bit processor, but that's something we can talk about on a future occasion...
Let's return to the problem of implementing logic gates and registers using only the type of relay shown in the image above. If you havent worked with relays before, I bet your knee-jerk reaction is to think of using them in much the same way you might use transistor switches, but -- generally speaking -- it's not quite that simple. As you will soon discover, constructing logical functions using relays can involve a weird and wonderful mixture of simplicity and complexity; if nothing else, it encourages a lot of "out-of-the-box" thinking.
Now, rather than me just waffling on and explaining everything in excruciating, let's have some fun with this. As a starting point, can you come up with a circuit symbol and truth table that clearly and concisely represents the operation of this relay? (Please feel free to change the names of the various contacts I called "A," "B,", "Y," "C1," and "C2" to whatever you like if it better suits your purpose.) Based on this, can you create a circuit diagram for a single buffer and then for three of these buffers connected in series? Next, can you create a circuit diagram for a single inverter and then for three of these inverters connected in series.
How about creating a circuit diagram for 2-input AND, NAND, OR and NOR gates (a) in isolation, (b) driving one of your buffer gates, and (c) driving one of your inverter gates?
Let's leave things here for the moment. If you rise to this challenge, then we'll move on to consider how we might set about implementing register and memory elements.

Comment: At the time of this staged incident, neo-con media outlets like Sean Hannity and Fox News, as well as 9/11 debunking groups, claimed that a 9/11 truther had beaten up a disabled girl as a means of trying to discredit the 9/11 truth movement. Now that Talis has been aquitted and proven completely innocent of all charges, as we maintained all along, will those same groups now come forward and apologize for promulgating this hoax?
A New York jury has acquitted a 24-year-old man accused of heckling Laura and Jenna Bush and assailing a wheelchair-bound teenager and her family.
The New York Post reported Wednesday a Manhattan Criminal Court jury acquitted Gary Talis Tuesday on assault charges stemming from an April 2008 incident in which Talis allegedly attacked a family following a New York appearance by the wife and daughter of then-U.S. President George W. Bush. The Bushes were in New York to talk about their children's book, "Read All About It."
Authorities had accused Talis of shouting obscenities at the Bushes before attacking John Lovetro's family at the event.
Lovetro testified against Talis during his trial, as did Lovetro's daughter and wife Wendy. The Post said several New York police officers and one Secret Service agent also offered testimony against Talis.

The MLS All-Star fan ballot was unveiled on Monday morning and while there were six members of the LA Galaxy were included on the list, the surprise was who wasn't included: LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas.
Sarvas got the snub despite being considered by many in the local media-- including myself -- to be the club's MVP through the first third of the season. The Brazilian midfielder has notched a goal and a team-leading four assists, but he's been particularly efficient with his distribution as he has completed at least 80 percent of his passes in all but four of his 18 appearances across all competitions this season.
But where Sarvas has been particularly effective is on the defensive side of the ball. As he covers considerable ground throughout the midfield he has amassed a total of 114 recoveries, which puts him behind only Philadelphia's Brian Carroll, Montreal's Patrice Bernier and Real Salt Lake's Kyle Beckerman among midfielders, the latter two being included on the All-Star ballot. Sarvas' defensive abilities have gotten him into some trouble, however, as he currently leads the league with in fouls with 42 and has a total of five yellow cards - although one may be rescinded.
Although Sarvas was not selected to the fan ballot, Sarvas' All-Star dream is over, however, as he can still be selected by All-Star head coach Peter Vermes when he fills out the squad and MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who can make two Commissioner's selections.
Agree with my assessment of Sarvas as a snub? Think that Vermes or Garber should select him?

Winstone won't call time on pub
Ray Winstone has revealed that he won't be closing down the pub at the bottom of his garden and hinted his wife had convinced him to keep it.
The Sexy Beast actor, 56, said that he had abandoned plans to demolish the boozer he has at home, according to the Daily Star.
He said: "I was going to knock it down as we are getting a bit old now. We should be responsible...
"And it's like a Tardis as you find yourself in there at 5am! And then there ends up being a fight about who is going to sing the next song on karaoke."
Ray also suggested his wife hadn't been keen on calling last orders at the Winstones' pub, saying: "I had a chat with the wife about knocking it down, then decided not to."

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by Squiggy, Jan 30, 2013.
Been a while since we've done one of these...eh?
Whatever. Feast on my Swedish minimalism.
What did you do to your blueprints? Your not suppose to really burn them once ST09 came out.
Anyway here is a picture of my desk's top.
This is my rather humble desktop:
We need to have a talk.
HP builds solid computers, and I like them.
Don't tell anyone, but I might be a nerd:
He may be referring to the ponies
For a second there, I thought that was Kaylee on the far left hand side, and I was about to *squee*. Also, love the Funko Derpy and RD (I still have to get one of each!), and how awesome is it to have Darth Vader monitor your computing?
Oh, I'm sure he is.
Not glamorous, but it works!
I love my desk. It is my sanctuary, as well as my work area.
At first I wondered what brand a "Snsv" was, until I realized I was reading it upside down. Also, I like desks with the power supplies within reach! My power supply sits under my desk like so:
And it's painful to access.
Also, there's a penny!
Did you see what's under "ASUS"? Also I keep the power under my desk too.
It took me a moment, but I believe that's Mr. Worf!
As for the power supply, do you tend to bump against it with your shoe, knocking it out of the wall, causing everything to shut off? Because I do that often enough that I mention it here.
Part of the reason is because our outlets are very old, and no longer hold plugs very well.
I'm a bit messy. I can hear John hyperventilating from here.
And here's my desk, the first is sans lap top and a bit messy:
And here is a bit less messy with my lap top:
My hyperventilating is tempered by the lovely Mac(s) sitting on your desk.
Dimesdan's will make you lie down in a darkened room with a cold compress.
Actually, I blacked out for about 5 seconds, and I don't think I saw his pictures.
(You know I love you, Dimesdan, and if you didn't...um... surprise.)
Well wait until you see mine J. Just you wait..

For the Week of September 4-10
September 4
1781—The city of Los Angeles is founded by 44 settlers of whom 26 were Black. This little known fact of history is found in H.H. Bancroft's authoritative "History of California," which details the ages, races and genders of the city's founding fathers and mothers.
1957—Nine Black students are banned from Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., by Governor Orval Faubus. The move makes him a folk hero among White supremacists but sets in motion a major conflict with the federal government. President Dwight Eisenhower is forced to call out 1,000 federal troops in order to force the eventual integration of the school.
1981—Popular recording star Beyoncé Knowles is born on this day in Houston, Texas.
September 5
1859—The first novel written by a Black woman is published in the United States. The woman was Harriet Wilson and the novel was entitled "Our Nig: Or Sketches from the Life of a Free Black." The novel was lost for years until reprinted with a critical essay by Black scholar Henry Louis Gates in 1982.
