Beauty is the Promise of Happiness (2006) By Jon Yeo
Jon Yeo's three year old short film is a visually stunning combination of video, 3D animation and still images. Imagine eighties Britain under the control of a sinister regime attempting to stamp out rogue deities. An assassin is sent out to kill an imaginatively rendered god, and in the process is consumed by it.
The harsh snowy world seems held together by old bits of electrical equipment, and its people have eyes that glow like light bulbs. The deity is the only character with a human face, and its lurid, over-saturated redness makes it seem even more out of place.
The film is a great example of what can be achieved with one actor, £60 and a lot of images. Judging by his website, Yeo is now hard at work creating idents for Sky.

Interpreten-Beschreibung "Booker T"
Booker T. & The MG's
Booker T. & The MG's
Unlike Motown's Funk Brothers, shrouded in anonymity to ensure they wouldn't abandon their session duties for greener pastures, Booker T. & The MG's were encouraged by Stax Records to cut instrumentals when they weren't cooking behind Otis Redding, Rufus Thomas, and William Bell as the Memphis studio's house rhythm section. The skin-tight quartet blasted all the way to #3 pop and the peak of the R&B hit parade their first time out on Stax in 1962 with the driving Green Onions, their encores Mo' Onions and Soul Dressing making smaller impacts.
The MG's originally consisted of organist Booker T. Jones (born November 12, 1944 in Memphis), guitarist Steve Cropper (born October 21, 1942 near Dora, Missouri but raised in Memphis from age nine), drummer Al Jackson, Jr. (born November 27, 1934 in Memphis), and bassist Lewie Steinberg, though by 1965 he'd been replaced by Cropper's childhood buddy and former Mar-Keys bandmate Donald 'Duck' Dunn, born November 24, 1941 in Memphis. "I went in and played on some Booker T. stuff, so then they asked me to join the band," says Dunn. "It was a pleasure to go in the studio, and just to play with Al Jackson every day. He just made you a better musician." Agrees Cropper, "He was definitely the best drummer around."
Quite a few of the integrated band's instrumentals were studio concoctions. "You never know what you're going to come up with when you sit down to write. A lot of those ideas came about by trying to come up with a groove for another song," says Steve. "A lot of things we would write really didn't seem to work for a full vocal idea, but they worked as riffs. A lot of the other times, whenever we exhausted the ideas that we brought to the session, then we'd sit there and try to kind of come up with grooves and enhance them a little bit, get Al to look at it from a different perspective, and try to change the beat and do something different with it."
Boot-Leg was The MG's' hottest seller since Green Onions at #10 R&B and #58 pop. Not only was it Dunn's first recording as an MG, Booker T. wasn't there when they cut it. "That's Isaac Hayes playing organ," reveals Duck. "Booker was in college, and was supposed to get back." Also on hand was Charles 'Packy' Axton, son of Stax co-owner Estelle Axton and tenor saxman with The Mar-Keys, the horn-powered combo that gave Stax one of its first major hits in 1961 (when it was still called Satellite), the infectious instrumental Last Night. A jaunty mix of Cropper's chopping axe, Hayes' supple organ, and Axton's greasy sax, Boot-Leg was originally intended to be a Mar-Keys release, since it sported a horn section. Booker T. soon returned from the University of Indiana, and the MG's extended their hit streak into the next decade.

On the surface, it seems odd that a man could find comfort in songs about despair, the occult, and tragic Hollywood figures with macabre titles like "Beautiful Gas Mask," but Darnielle is no normal man. These are few of his favorite things.
Early in the album, Darnielle sings about the tragedy of Judy Garland in "The Autopsy Garland." The subject matter, hushed vocals and menacing percussion make it the bleakest moment of All Eternals Deck.
The Mountains Goats find hope in the success and redemption of Garland's daughter, Liza Minnelli. It takes until the end of the album ("Liza Forever Minnelli"), but it's a journey worth taking.
On every album Darnielle has a song that could be considered among the best Mountain Goats songs and it's no different here.
The magnificent background harmonies behind Darnielle on "High Hawk Season" create an energy that make it a quiet epic. Add in a new line for fans to shout at concerts ("We are young supernovas and the heat's about to break!") and it's an instant classic. Also, opener "Damn These Vampires" is one of the catchiest pop songs he's penned.
The Mountain Goats haven't recorded an album this consistent since The Sunset Tree in 2005. Darnielle may be gradually putting his raging youth behind him, but that doesn't mean that he's lost a step.
The Mountain Goats will play Cat's Cradle with Megafaun on April 8. All Eternals Deck is available from Merge Records on March 29.

In choosing our 'classics' over the past few years, we've tried to select titles that had some visibility among readers, but were not necessarily included in the standard high school English class. We've also sampled a range of genres, from mystery (The Long Goodbye) to comedy (Cold Comfort Farm) to stream-of-consciousness (To the Lighthouse). So, whether our picks are already gathering dust on your bookshelves or this is your first encounter with the literary canon, we encourage you to join us on the last Wednesday evening of every month for conversation about the classics.

Lolek – The Boy Who Became Pope John Paul II – Lolek is a celebration of the childhood of Pope John Paul II. He was a little boy who, despite tragedy and oppression in his young life during World War II, was a shining example for his peers and adults alike. Pope John Paul II was a world class freedom fighter, campaigning for world peace as a human rights advocate and defender of the oppressed. During his combat against world poverty, he taught that every life is precious no matter one's nationality or religious belief, whether one is rich or poor, young or old. One of Lolek's greatest achievements was the downfall of Communism in Europe. He encouraged people to feel their own power, and the power of faith led to the freedom of half a continent. Children 4-12 years. Read our interview with the author here.

So there we have it. Some men are more equal than others – in exposure to tax liability, at least. The Panama Papers have revealed just how deviously and unethically many wealthy individuals protect their assets, reduce their exposure to tax, and pay as little into or back to their communities as they can get away with.
Turns out, for these people, you must fraudulate* to accumulate. The rules do not apply to them. Tax, like lunch, is for wimps.
Well, plenty of people are unhappy about it. And rightly so. One of the issues I explore in my book, Liberating Motherhood, is universal basic income. With all the talk of the past week of one rule for the 1% and another for the rest of us, we need to start to talk about social justice, within the modern context of increasing automation and to reflect the valuable – yet unpaid – work of home, family and community.
Women overwhelmingly perform the unwaged labour (which recent ONS figures show is substantial in terms of financial worth), upon which our society freeloads. Well, time's up. The conversation about basic income must surely now be heard, and the measure be given serious attention by our politicians.
We could start by thinking about:
- Productivity, not least after the ONS's figures that "the total value of unpaid work in UK homes was estimated to be £1.019 trillion in 2014 … That is the equivalent of 56.1% of the UK's national output, as measured by GDP", as reported by the BBC. Yet, what we do is seen by many to be worthless. We are undeserving of support or fair taxation policies. Because the only productivity which matters is 'taxable productivity'. Money makes the world go round. Or gets shifted offshore, all quiet, like. Because if you're loaded, you don't need to worry yourself about paying your fair share of tax, right?
- Contributions to society, and how they are measured. For example, the work of parents (mothers, predominantly) in caring for their families is important work. We are raising human beings, we are investing in our families and our society. Yet, politics and economics still focuses on 'economic contribution' and the payment of tax. Unless you're minted and have a nice deal out in Panama, obviously. Because when you're wealthy and above the rules, you've contributed enough, right? Like spawning David Cameron #Piggate #ResignCameron #CurseDavidCameron.
- Fairness. Is it fair that a family with a single earner, with a parent providing the childcare, is taxed as a collection of individuals, with no heed paid to the work of the parent at home? Is it fair that a woman has no income of her own – no safety net – because her husband earns just over the tax bracket? Is it fair that the state invests in and promotes the model of dual earners – to the extent of subsidising childcare for families earning significantly more than the single earner? When it comes to 'hard earned taxes' and all the rest, surely we need to be setting our sights on the fair taxation of the wealthy and of corporations (remember Starbucks and Amazon?), and cutting loving, caring, families, some bleeding slack.
- Labour. Not the political party, but the graft. Work is seen as 'out there', '9 to 5' and 'for a wage'. We work for the boss, to be exploited, for – good old fashioned capitalist accumulation warning – wealth to be accumulated by the 1% to hide away offshore while the workers pay their taxes like good little economic units. Or we lose our job through automation to a robot, to create wealth by the 1% who hide it away offshore while we are forced to compete for fewer jobs, for lesser pay, in insecure working conditions. And we pay our taxes, like the good little proletariat that we are. Or we are demonised for being scroungers, or not contributing, or not being productive, or not looking hard enough for work (despite fewer jobs – see automation, above) or caring for our families.
And it all comes back to this: the time has arrived for subsistence incomes, redistribution of labour, redistribution of wealth, and social responsibility. #InvestInPeopleNotPanama #ValueCare #BasicIncome.
Because, otherwise, we are penalising care, taxing workers, imposing 'austerity' on our communities, while the 1% continue to safeguard their wealth, reduce their contributions, and laugh all the way to the beach.
Liberating Motherhood, Birthing the Purplestockings Movement will be published in September by Womancraft Publishing.

They're fast and they look like they're going to tip but they lean way back and they don't.
So in lots of ways it was completely foreign. But some of it was wholly familiar. Those loose-limbed kids, joking around, hungry all the time, beautiful in any old mismatched gear, hoping for a workout where their moves come easy and they use every last muscle. I've seen those kids before. I've seen big ol' bruises before, and I took pictures of mine too. I know what it is like to walk out at the beginning of a day, knowing that it will be long, long hours of all-you-got, and that you chose to do it and you would choose it again. The listening to your coach and trying to fix that thing. The love for that space, your gym, your field, your boat. The cheating when you're worked and you stop reaching all the way out or making the hard push and your hands get sloppy. The winddown, when you gather your crap and think about food and the whether you're gonna get that technique and the way your thighs and belly feel empty, no spring at all, but you have no other worries, nothing to think about but what you're gonna eat and when you have to be back in the morning. Those were are all the same.
*I also realized I can't imagine what it would be like to do an equipment sport. TKD was just me, one other person and a lot of ritual. Ultimate was a huge stretch. Me and lots of other people to keep track of and one fairly simple moving object was baffling for about a year. I had no real field sense for a couple years, and even after several years I can tell that lots of people see plays developing faster. Adding in very complicated equipment? I'm impressed.

I agree with the article. I have publicly espoused this view for many years. I said as much more than 20 years ago, almost 25 now, when I interviewed for the NC Teaching Fellows Scholarship as a young and naive high school senior. If you want to know what's happening in a classroom, ask the students. They know.
Students are captive audiences day in and day out. They know the inner workings of a school or a classroom intimately. We should ask for, and value, their feedback.
We haven't quite hit on a good way to evaluate teachers. States want to use test scores to say how effective teachers are. This is a cheap way to evaluate teachers which is why state legislatures often like this method. However, a test score will never show how a teacher changes a student's life. A test score will never show that a teacher takes a kid home on some days, stays after school to talk to a student about their life, or cares about the student as a human being. Tests only show a tiny amount about teachers and should only compare student growth across time using data from the same students.
Accountability should be measured in many ways. All stake-holders should have a say. I have never believed that standardized tests tell the whole story with regard to teaching. I do believe that they can be part of the picture. Peer, parent, student, and supervisory observations and reviews should all be part of an accountability model for educators. Teachers that perform poorly in this accountability model would receive additional help tailored to improve their performance in areas of concern. Some would say that this would become merely a popularity contest. I would counter that the "popularity" effect could be minimized. At any rate, a certain amount of public perception and satisfaction should be part of our jobs as teachers.
Peers should also be used in an accountability model. Teachers know what is going on in their schools. Peer reviews and observations should be part of any accountability model with regard to the teaching profession. Doctors do this when they have rounds. Doctors observe other doctors and comment on what they observe. The reasoning behind this is that both parties will become better professionals because of the experience.
I have always argued that students know better than anyone what is going on in the classroom. Student reviews should be part of a teacher accountability model. We do this at a university level but don't often do this at elementary, middle, and secondary levels. We should. Again, statistical corrections could be made so that the effect of outlying data could be minimized. If we don't trust the students, how can we expect them to trust us?

I got this nail polish (along with a couple of others I will also review later) a couple of months ago from Boots - it was 75% off and I'm a sucker for a nail polish bargain! These pictures show 2 coats of the polish, but it's actually not half bad with just one coat, even though it appears rather thin on the brush.
I didn't really expect to like it very much, to be honest, as blues/greens aren't really my thing, however I love this shade! It's bright in daylight (apologies for these pictures not being taken in daylight) but it's not to the point that it's neon or anything.

text: 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame market: $760 auction price for sold-out gold half eagle Portion of Market Analysis column from Aug. 25, 2014, issue of Coin World By Steve Roach , Coin World Published : 08/12/14 Print Text Size A A A 2014-W Baseball gold $5 half eagle grading NGC Proof 70 Ultra Cameo with the firm's Early Releases designation brought $760.10 at a July 27, 2014, GreatCollections.com auction. Image courtesy GreatCollections.com. The following post is pulled from Coin World editor Steve Roach's Market Analysis column in the Aug. 25 issue. The 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame commemorative coin program has been hugely popular with collectors. The coins were launched on March 27, 2014, at the Baltimore Whitman Expo. Both Numismatic Guaranty Corp. and Professional Coin Grading Service got clever with special labels used to identify coins sold at the Baltimore show on the first day. NGC used the familiar baseball phrasing "Opening Day" while PCGS used the phrase "Baltimore First Pitch." Coins released during the first 30 days of a program's start are eligible for "First Strike" (PCGS) and "Early Release" (NGC) labels. After the frenzy of the first few months, prices for these have settled down. Here's a look at the $5 half eagle in the marketplace. The coin: 2014-W Baseball gold $5 half eagle, NGC Proof 70 Ultra Cameo, Early Release The price: $760.10 The story: The 2014-W Baseball gold $5 half eagles were quick sellers. Just a few days after the March 27, 2014, release, the U.S. Mint sold out of both the Uncirculated and Proof half eagle — with a total authorized mintage of 50,000 pieces — at $419.75 and $424.75, respectively. Within the month, the secondary market for uncertified examples quickly rose to $750 per coin, with a PCGS Proof 70 Deep Cameo "First Pitch" example selling for $5,000 in an April 1 eBay auction. As the Mint ships its final coins to buyers, the market for these gold coins has settled down with dealers offering $600 to $650 for uncertified Proof examples, with Uncirculated examples at $100 less. The prices for certified examples have largely cooled off as well. In a July 27 GreatCollections.com auction one graded NGC Proof 70 Ultra Cameo, Early Release, brought $760.10. Several months ago these were trading for more than $1,000. As reference, roughly two-thirds of the nearly 1,000 "First Strike" examples that PCGS has graded of the Proof $5 coin have been graded Proof 70 Deep Cameo, a sign that these coins were well-produced and packaged carefully.

Yesterday, The Foster's Daily Democrat endorsed Rudy Giuliani.
The editors said that "Rudy Giuliani represents the core of Republican thought. He is the kind of Republican who will appeal to the people who elected and re-elected Ronald Reagan."
"Giuliani avoids generalities and obfuscations. What you hear from him is what he believes and how he feels. There is no tap dancing around the great issues on Giuliani's part," they added.

hot or not clone, user rating system
Budget $100-300 USD
What it is:
This is a rating site like hot or not, or rate my picture, etc. Basically, people upload their photos and let other rate them. What I need done is similar. Users can upload their photo, they can register for an account. they can manage their photos, and they have their own control panel.
Plus more, I rather not discuss here for privacy issues.
I have the site already built in a template, it's in Dreamweaver. What I need done is to have the PHP coded in so it will work.

Mozambique's long awaited petroleum law has been approved by the parliament with substantial amendments by MPs who argued that the changes will strengthen the role of the Mozambican state in oil and gas exploration and production.
The bill, which will come into effect by the end of the year, was approved with votes from Frelimo and MDM. Renamo voted against the bill on the grounds the High Authority of the Extractive Industry – the body that oversees oil and gas operations - must be composed by elected members from all political parties.
The most important point in the new law is perhaps the fact that the state, through the National Hydrocarbon Company (ENH), controls the production, transport, marketing and transformation of all LNG and their derivatives.
It also states that the government must create the conditions for the involvement of Mozambican business people in the oil and gas industry. This is in response to local businesses who have been demanding a better share in the oil and gas business.
The sector is currently dominated by giant multinationals such as Anadarko and ENI and their own international service suppliers. It is very unlikely that any local company will venture into bidding for concessions of oil and gas exploration areas because they neither have the necessary expertise, nor the funds. They have, however, asked the government to introduce a special regiment that forces multinationals to contract local companies for service and products supply.
For a comprehensive analysis of Mozambique's petroleum law, the Renamo amnesty deal - otherwise unavailable in the international press - and the political, business and security issues affecting Mozambique, please see our latest issue of Mozambique Politics and Security.

Does seeing another country from a distance constitute foreign policy experience? Is refudiate a word? Is North Korea one of America's allies? Most Harvard students (and for $55,000 a year we'd hope all of our professors) would have no problem answering no to all these questions. All except our newest member of faculty, according to one blog.
Satirical blog The Daily Currant published an article yesterday claiming former governor of Alaska and famed "mama grizzly" Sarah Palin would be joining Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government as a visiting scholar in the fall, teaching classes on the war on terror, welfare, religion and oil and gas development.
Despite the fact that their post was, well, a joke, Twitter saw some interesting, rather serious reactions to it. "How can Harvard use Palin and scholar in the same sentence?" one user asked, while another claimed, "those students will tear Sarah Palin up. Let's see how long she lasts in that classroom."
With Palin's record on geography, literacy, and, well, politics, perhaps it's a good thing we won't get the chance to find out.

It won't be very long (3 weeks and some change to be exact) til CHRISTMAS! Is it just me or did this year fly by? I mean REALLY FLY BY!?
Well nevertheless, the holidays are here and it's truly my FAVE!!! I am not done with my Christmas decorating but I have managed to get the tree and mantle done....and I love it!
My vintage inspired wintery white tree with pops of soft blue and red...
Still need to get my star topper, but I love it's cottage-like vibe! I may add a tad more blue and red but I usually end up making ornaments so I always leave some spots open on my tree for some add ons!
We all picked out our yearly ornament! Can you tell which one is mine and which one is for the Hubby?
Last years tree with turquoise, red and white that you can see here was one of my favorites ever, but this year I was feeling something a little more simple and soft.
*SIGH* Just makes me smile!
How's your decorations coming along? New scheme this year or sticking with the same?
I'd love to see!
Loving the brisk air and warm slipper socks,

The de Havilland Comet, the world's first ever commercial jet airliner to reach production. Developed and manufactured by de Havilland, the Comet was considered a landmark British aeronautical design. It not only revolutionised air travel but also brought the world closer together with its high speed, compared to older turbo prop planes.
Although not used in the commercial world, the Comet's military derivative, Hawker Siddeley Nimrod, is still in service and is expected to serve the Royal Air Force until the 2020s, almsot 70 years after its first flight.
Design and Development...
The Comet was designed to fulfill the need for a transatlantic airliner and Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, head of the de Havilland company, used his power and influence, plus his company's expertise with jets, to persuade the Brabazon Commitee that a transatlantic jet mailplane is needed after the war. Subsequently, the Commitee accepted de Havilland's proposal, calling it the Type IV (of five designs), and awarded the production contract to de Havilland's DH.106. The British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) found the Type IV rather attractive and in the last month of 1945, agreed to buy ten aircraft.
The Type IV was officially christened Comet in December 1947. First deliveries were expected five years later. The first flight of the Comet was held on July 27th, 1949, and lasted for 31 minutes, by de Havilland Chief Test Pilot John Cunningham, a famous wartime night-fighter pilot. It was then publicly displayed at the 1949 Farnborough Airshow before beginning flight trials. A second prototype made its maiden flight a year later.
The Comet has an all-metal low-wing cantilever monoplane, and was powered by four jet engines. About the size of a Boeing 737, the Comet was quite luxurious for the first jet airliner. There was lots of room, with 36 seats to each aircraft, and each had its own ashtray. The galley served hot and cold food and drinks, and there was even a bar. Men's and Women's washrooms were seperate, which is something you don't see on modern airliners, and the passenger cabin was much quieter compared to its propeller-driven airliners counter-parts. The Comet's four-man cockpit held two pilots, a navigator and flight engineer. The Comet was also the first pressurised jet-propelled commercial aircraft.
de Havilland's clean, low-drag design featured many unique or innovative design elements, including a swept leading edge, integral wing fuel tanks and four wheel bogie main undercarriage units. Emergencies were countered with lift rafts, which were storeed in the wings near the engines and every seat had a life vest stowed under each seat bottom.
The Comet was powered by two de Havilland Ghost 50 Mk1 turbojet engines buried in the wings close to the fuselage. British engineers chose this configuration as it avoided the drag created by podded engines and allowed fin and rudder, since the hazards of asymmetric, or non-balanced thrust, were reduced. The engines' higher mounting on the wings also lessened the risk of ingestion damage, which is a major problem for turbine engines. However, this design does have its setbacks, such as increased structural weight and complexity of the air frame, as well as a higher chance for wing failure when an engine is on fire, which was cited as the main reason Boeing Aircraft Company chose podded engines over engines buried in the wings.
The Comet's skin is a composition of new and advanced alloys, chemically bonded together with Redux, which is a type of epoxy adhesive, and riveted. It saved weight and reduced the risk of fatigue cracks spreading from the rivets.
When the Comet went into service on May 2nd, 1952, it was the most exhaustively tested airliner in history. Water tanks were used to test airframe for metal fatigue by repeatedly pressuring and depressuring the airframe through more than 16 000 cycles, which is equivalent to about 40 000 hours of airline service. The windows were also tested to their max capabilities, and one window frame survived a massive 100 psi, which about 1 250% over the maximum pressure it would encounter in service.
Early Comet disasters...
Early versions of the Comet suffered from catastrophic metal fatigue, which was the root cause of a string of well-publicised accidents. The first of these occured on January 10th, 1954 when Comet G-ALYP ("Yoke Peter"), BOAC Flight 781, broke up in flight mysteriously and crashed into the Mediterranean off the coast of the Italian island Elba. There were no survivors. The entirely Comet fleet was subsequently grounded while the Abell Commitee met to determine the cause of the crash. The conclusion was fire, and modifications were made to the aircraft to protect the engines and wings from damage which might start another fire. However, three months later, another crash of the sort occured in the waters near Naples. Investigators were extremely puzzled and a large investigation board was formed under the direction of the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE). They subjected Comet airframes to pressurisation cycles and found the cause of the crashes was metal fatigue. The Comets were redesigned and most served with the military, until 1958 when it resumed commercial service, by which time the much-improved Comet 4 was introduced, and became the first jet airliner to enter transatlantic service. However, by then, United States aircraft manufacturers caught up with Boeing's 707 jetliner and Douglas' DC-8, which were both faster and cost effective, rendering the Comet less profitable. De Havilland later went on to long-range missiles, and in 1962 went back to the airline world with the three-engine jetliner, Trident, but was beat again by Boeing with its 727, also a tri-jet.
De Havilland's hard-learned lessons benefited aircraft manufacturers all over the world, and according to John Cunningham, representatives from Boeing and Douglas "admitted that if it had not been for our problems, it would have happened to them." [Faith 1996, pp. 158-165]

Quilting is taking a backseat to family fun lately. Yesterday we climbed Rattlesnake Mountain in NH and this is the view of Squam Lake from the top. It was a sparkling day. I've never seen any rattlesnakes there. You may remember the movie "On Golden Pond." It was filmed on this lake.
Then we attended a concert of Goat Rodeo Sessions with Yo-Yo Ma at Tanglewood in Lenox, MA. We sat on the lawn under the stars munching M&M's and listening to the most beautiful music. It was a wonderful summer evening.

Derek Willie is a rising sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania.
The fourth amendment to the U.S. Constitution is undoubtedly a critical safeguard of personal liberty against governmental overreach. It states that citizens have rights to be "secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Together with the Fifth and Sixth amendments, it plays a crucial role in establishing the exclusionary rule, which bars unconstitutionally obtained evidence from being introduced in court. [1] Recently, however, the Supreme Court dealt a consequential blow to both the Fourth Amendment and the exclusionary rule in Utah v. Schrieff.
In 2006, Salt Lake City police arrested Edward Strieff for possession of methamphetamine and paraphernalia. What distinguishes Mr. Strieff's arrest is that the police officer who searched him for the drugs did not have probable cause to conduct the search. Rather, the officer observed Strieff leave a house where an anonymous tip reported drug activity. When Strieff identified himself for the police, they found an outstanding warrant for a traffic violation, performed a search and found the drugs. [2] Strieff sued, alleging that the officer violated his Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures"; thus, the evidence produced from the search would be inadmissible. [3]
Writing for the majority in Henry, Justice William O. Douglas opined that "an arrest is not justified by what the subsequent search discloses. Under our system suspicion is not enough for an officer to lay hands on a citizen. It is better, so the Fourth Amendment teaches, that the guilty sometimes go free than that citizens be subject to easy arrest." [5] Though dating from 1959, Douglas's words are especially prescient in Strieff's predicament. The police had just as much cause to believe that Mr. Strieff possessed drugs as they did to believe that the petitioner had stolen whiskey. It seems reasonable that Douglas's logic would prevail in Strieff's situation, yet the police's knowledge of Strieff's warrant technically authorized their search. Thus, the warrant is really all that separates Strieff's situation from the Henry petitioner's. It is the legal technicality that justified the officer's search that enabled him to feed a suspicion largely founded on hearsay.
That the court ruled against Mr. Strieff is particularly concerning for civil liberties advocates, along with communities of color already burdened with invasive police activity. Orin Kerr, a Professor of Law at George Washington University, argues that the Court's decision could permit officers to act on the most minor suspicions of criminal activity. Even if an officer does not find an outstanding warrant, it is unlikely that any one he/she searches would sue or even complain. [6] Furthermore, Black and Latino drivers are more likely to be ticketed or searched by police for traffic violations, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This means that police officers are more likely to search them for warrants, and, additionally, that people of color are more likely to have warrants for the small, nonviolent violations that allow the police to perform these searches.
At a time when tensions between the police and communities of color are at their peak, it seems not only unwise but unfair to empower the police with more authority to search innocent civilians. Is catching a few guilty drug offenders worth violating the constitutional rights of many? Justice Douglas was right.
According to the fourth amendment, it isn't.

As they didn't talk 4 two weaks,
He begane 2 miss her..
Though she doesn't say much during their call
He talks and talks and talks..
and she always listens and replies with few words,
most of them r "Mmmm.s"
Though it was annoying him that she doesn't say much,
but it was enough 4 him..
just 2 hear her voice
and as they didn't talk for two weaks,
he begane to miss her..
He called her many times,
but she didn't answer..
and when she calld him back,
he could't answer
they kept like that for two days..
and it's at the weekend's night when he called her again
there, she answered after some rings with a sleepy voice..
he knows when she's sleeping, she's not sharp minded
and mostly she can't differentiate who's talkin' to her!
He talked 2 her alittle (as she's a sleep),
and she only replies with "Mmmm"
(as her usual when she is a wake)
He was almost ending the call when he said
I love U
instead of saying
see U
He knows that next morning when she wakes up,
she won't remember any thing about that call..
except maybe that someone has called her when she was sleeping
or may she'll believe it was just a dream!
He told her that he loves her and she (as her usual) replies only with "Mmmm"
and (as his usual),
it was Enough for him.
The end

The International Crisis Group published on 15 September 2016 an analysis of the world's ten largest refugee producing countries titled "What's Driving the Global refugee Crisis?" The global number of refugees and internally displaced now stands at more than 65 million, the largest figure ever recorded.
In 2015, Syria was by far the largest source of refugees followed by Afghanistan. But six of the ten countries on the list are in Africa. In descending order of significance, they are Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Central African Republic, and Eritrea.

Yet again I find myself in search of something a person isn't supposed to want: crabgrass.
I've decided some of Jethro the donkey's current sulkiness is caused by his dislike of the hay I bought him this spring. The guy who sold it to me advertised it as "orchard grass and oat hay mix" and according to the donkey list, donkeys are supposed to like it. However, Jethro doesn't. I think he's a little bit hungry all the time because he disdains this breakfast, and he's a little bit angry that as he gazes outside his round pen he sees green stuff in every direction.
Inside his round pen, it looks like the desert. If I let him out where it's green for too long, it starts to look like the desert there, too, so I have to be careful.
When I've been taking him for weed-stealing walks, I've noticed his very favorite comestible is low-growing, very green, slightly hairy grass that grows right at the edge of gravel driveways. After some desultory poking around at Google Images, I decided it's crabgrass.
Well, great! I remember my dad expending a lot of energy trying to get rid of crabgrass, so it ought to be strong and self-spreading stuff, right?
But there isn't any in Jethro's fields. Why not? Did he eat it all down so low he killed it?
Nobody sells crabgrass hay. Nobody sells crabgrass seeds. I know, because I've been looking.
While I was looking I found this false offer which made me laugh:
Crabgrass - Cheap Prices
www.NexTag.com ... Crabgrass on Sale.
In actual fact, Nextag just offered me sites selling bags and bags and bags of poison.

I've never done a review of a mixtape, but there's a first for everything. It's only fitting that I'm listening and reviewing, right? After listening to the mix over a dozen times, in order and on shuffle- I think I've had sufficient time to develop an opinion about it.
Will, you and I have very different and very similar music tastes. You pointed out the other day that they're complementary, it's true! You fill the gaps of music knowledge that I miss like "dad music." Or MOPEY ROCK (you listen to a lot of mopey rock Will). Okay, okay, okay back to reviewing.
Overall, I thought it did open a door to number of artists and a genre that I frankly wouldn't listen to otherwise. Listening to Pavement makes me feel like I'm driving in my car to West Texas. If you haven't noticed, I'm not very good at critiquing music...musically. I do it by how it makes me feel when I hear it. I couldn't get into "Bed." It's just so dark, dirty, and not me. Native America would probably my highlight. And for whatever reason, I've listened to this a ton, but I still get thrown off by "My Second Hand Heart" by Lay Low. In a good way, it's soothing in a mixtape that I found to be alt-rock driven. And most of the vocals sounded the same to me, they all had this same quality, but I don't have a word for it.
You know, I feel like I would see a lot of these bands at something like 'backyard togetherness.' Maybe that's just me.
- Not-so-good vibes: Sparklehorse, Grandaddy and Brand New
- Good vibes: Pavement, Built To Spill
- Great vibes: Native America, Vetiver, Chris Rehm and Pains

2013-2014 BCRF Project(s):
(The Hamptons Paddle & Party for Pink Award)
Co-Investigator: Silvia Formenti, MD, NYU School of Medicine, New York
Dr. Schneider and his team are focusing on the understanding of the role of selective protein synthesis in the regulation, survival and resistance to treatment of breast cancer cells that are thought to be responsible for breast cancer metastasis and recurrence. The studies conducted in the past year are developing a novel approach pioneered arch that targets an area of gene regulation not previously exploited to more effectively treat advanced and metastatic breast cancer.
Studies to be conducted over the coming year will focus on investigating how inhibition of the translation initiation factor eIF4G1 or catalytic inhibition of the inhibitors mTORC1/2 generate such remarkable synergy in treatment response and tumor control, particularly significantly impairing metastasis. Dr. Schneider's team will develop an understanding for the pharmacologic use of mTORC1/2 inhibitors in the preclinical setting, as they complete a Phase 1B single agent clinical trial and use this information to develop a Phase II combinatorial drug trial.
Mid-Year Summary:
One of the major goals of breast cancer treatment is to more effectively treat metastatic disease, particularly breast cancer that has spread to the brain, for which there are no curative treatments. Dr. Schneider's research is directed to developing inhibitors of metastatic breast cancer by targeting the specific changes in the protein synthesis machinery of breast cancer cells controlled by the kinase mTOR. Based on his team's research conducted over the past year, they have shown that hyper-activated mTOR and components of the protein synthesis machinery are important for the spread and survival of metastatic breast cancer cells. The researchers have now developed clinical trials to test novel experimental inhibitors of mTOR for the treatment of metastatic breast cancer, particularly breast cancer that has metastasized to the brain.
Robert Schneider, PhD, is the Albert Sabin Professor of Molecular Pathogenesis at the NYU School of Medicine; an Associate Director of the NCI-designated NYU Cancer Institute, Director of Translational Research, Co-Director of the NYU Breast Cancer Program and a Professor of Radiation Oncology. He is the author of more than 130 peer reviewed publications in oncology. He conducts research directed to the development, progression and metastasis of breast cancer and the interplay of the inflammatory response. His research effort concerns the molecular and genetic understanding of advanced and metastatic breast cancers and the development of new treatment strategies and therapeutics for metastatic disease.
Dr. Schneider performs basic, translational and clinical research on the molecular basis of locally advanced, metastatic and inflammatory breast cancers and the development of new therapeutics from these findings. He has received numerous awards and prizes in recognition of his achievements, including: the 2011 Distinguished Alumnus Award & Commencement address, University of Delaware; the 2010 Judah Folkman Memorial lecture, Chemotherapy Foundation; 2010 Keynote speaker for FASEB, AACR, RNA Society conferences; the Director of the International Consortium for Inflammatory Breast Cancer; the 2009 Royal Society of Medicine address; 2005-2011, Member of the Department of Defense Senior Advisory Council on Breast Cancer; 2005 Commencement address: Miami University, Ohio, School of Arts & Sciences graduation; 2005 Department of Defense Center of Excellence in breast cancer (with Dr. Silvia Formenti); 2005 Distinguished Scientist Award, Purdue University; the 2012 Susan E. Donelan Hope for the Future Award for breast cancer research, Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
Dr. Schneider is a member of the American Association for Cancer Researchers, the American Society for Therapeutic Radiation Oncology (ASTRO), the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Radiation Research Society (RRS), and the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) among others. He serves on the Editorial Boards of Cancer Research, Molecular and Cellular Biology and Translation. Dr. Schneider is a founding scientist of five biotechnology/small pharmaceutical companies: ImClone Systems, PTC Therapeutics Inc., Canji, Gencell (Paris), and Charterhouse Pharmaceuticals (London).
