Editor's note: This is part of a series of essays written by Floyd Dryden eighth grade students in Samantha Davis' class.
Did you know that it takes 125 ermines to make just one fur jacket? Ermines are small weasels that live mostly in Alaska. They are wild. They shouldn't be trapped to make jackets. Every animal deserves to be free, that's why trapping animals for their fur should be banned.
Animals are like humans. They just cannot talk like we can. They show emotion like we do though. Trapping animals for fur is wrong because you are killing and torturing animals that don't deserve it. 24 million out of 31 million animals killed on fur farms are mink. They are kept in cages that are smaller than their bodies. The cages are 10 inches wide and 24 inches long. When animals are trapped, the trappers do not want the fur to be damaged, so they find the most terrible ways to kill the animals. For example, the most common way to kill the animals is electrocution, but they don't always die. They are sometimes even skinned alive.
I went to Misterpoll.com and found a poll that asked, "Do you think a person should be allowed to wear endangered animal fur?" Only 18 people answered, but the results were 16% said yes, 72% said no, 5% said maybe and the other 5% said it depends on the animal. Not only are animals tortured for their fur, it is a waste of our money.
Would you spend over two thousand dollars on a jacket? Animal fur is not cheap. Nordstrom, a clothing store sells Mink fur coats for $1995. Leather gloves could be up to $68. I asked Marie Petersen, a classmate at Floyd Dryden Middle School if she thinks animal fur is a waste of money. She said, "Yes. Fake fur is cheaper and you don't have to kill all the animals for it." Why would you want to spend that much money on a jacket you probably won't wear too often, when you can just get faux fur?
We do not need real animal fur. We can have alternatives like faux fur. Faux is French for "not real". It is false fur. No animals need to be killed to wear faux fur, and it is much cheaper and just as stylish. You could get a faux fur jacket for less than one hundred dollars in some places. Spending your money on something pointless is a stupid move. You could get more resourceful things for two thousand dollars. Don't waste your money on real fur jackets.
Animals being trapped for their fur is wrong and should really stop. If you think about all of these reasons not to wear real fur, like price, animals being tortured, and the fact that we don't need it, you should realize real fur is useless and people are murdering animals for you.
Do you want to be skinned? Maybe even alive? I didn't think so. Let animals live. Stop trapping animals for their fur. If you wear animal fur, you clearly don't understand what animals go through.


text: The other day a physicist friend of mine said that he does not believe the theory of evolution, based on the laws of physics. His argument went something like this: The theory of evolution, as it is generally presented, states that billions of years ago, some proto-organism arose from the primevil ooze. It presumably had some genetic material, encoding but a few "genes". Since then, more complex organisms have "arisin": each of these more complex organisms contains more information in its genetic code. This represents an accumulation of information and energy, or a tendancy towards more order in the universe. This is in direcyt conflict with the second law of thermodynamics that states "the entropy of the universe increases in all natural processes". Even if the case of natural selection is considered (the differential survival and REPRODUCTION of those individuals with greater fitness) we still have an increase in proportion of genes that optimize survial in a given environment. This again represents a tendancy towards more order. Extinction is consistant with the second law. His argument is not that of a crackpot, but seems to be based in the laws of physics. I'm not sure if the basis of his argument (ie information = energy) is strong enough to support his argument. I know this a little out of the scope of this group, but I know that most of you are knowledgable about molecular evolution. I would like to know what others think of this argument.

After Hurricane Katrina slammed into New Orleans and effectively shut down the city, Korbin Johnson, a resident and local teacher, was one of the thousands of evacuees with no home to return to.
After traveling to New Mexico to stay with family, he received a call from a friend in Houston telling him that students from Johnson's former school were found at the Houston Astrodome evacuation area.
Johnson flew to Houston along with Gary Robichaux and other staff from the Louisiana office of the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) - a national open-enrollment charter system for college-bound kids - to find the students.
"I flew out to see what we could do," Johnson said. "We weren't expecting to be there long term but when we arrived, we realized we could serve a need."
After meeting families at the shelters whose children were not attending any schools, Robichaux called Mike Feinberg, KIPP co-founder, and said he wanted to help create a KIPP school for the children uprooted by the hurricane.
"We recruited kids straight out of shelters," Johnson said. "We got fliers, cell phones and contact information, and brought it back to school and put it together as a roster."
Sense of Normalcy
In October 2005, New Orleans West (NOW) College Preparatory Academy at Douglass Elementary - the only school for Katrina evacuees in Houston - officially opened as a joint project of the Houston Independent School District, KIPP and Teach for America, which is a nonprofit organization trying to narrow the academic gap between children of different socioeconomic backgrounds. Its initial goal was to operate for one year to educate children transplanted by Katrina.
Housed at a former Houston elementary school that was closed after declining enrollment, the school had an initial enrollment of 500 children taught by 37 first-year teachers, also expelled from New Orleans. Johnson became NOW's vice principal and Robichaux, also displaced by Katrina, was the school's principal.
In addition to providing education for children whose schools were closed or ruined, NOW provided some stability to children traumatized by the hurricane.
"I think the most important thing we offered to our students was getting back some sense of normalcy and getting back to a sense of routine," Johnson said. "In particular, when children are overcoming a traumatic event, they need a routine, and school is that."
To help children overcome the effects of the ordeal they've endured, NOW partnered with numerous organizations that provided help, including a group of psychology students from Tulane University in New Orleans, the Houston-Galveston Area Council, Milton Hershey School and Houston Texans football players.
The school offered support groups of parents and teachers where students could express their feelings, art therapy, group counseling and posttraumatic stress disorder studies. Eighty-page workbooks with drawing and writing exercises at the school were designed to give children and adults the opportunity to express their feelings through words and pictures, and a video program was available for students to create documentary films about their experiences after Katrina.
Sense of Security
KIPP students spend more time learning, following a rigorous curriculum, attending classes on Saturdays and adhering to strict behavior policies.
In addition to a structured learning environment and a sense of safety and security, Johnson noted that having teachers who shared their experiences was a big help for the students. After Hurricane Katrina, Johnson's sense of security was washed away along with his home, job and means to provide for his family. He could relate, he said, to how important a sense of security is.
"Making sure kids feel safe is the No. 1 need," he said. "I understood how important it is for people to feel safe and secure. Without that,
you can't teach and learn. If somebody feels like they are in danger, it impedes every other process."
And becoming homeless is the worst thing that can happen to a child, said Michael Supes, acting executive director for the National Coalition for the Homeless.
"It's very difficult for an adult to be homeless," he said, "but for a child to experience homelessness at the same time is very traumatic."
Yet NOW provided a sense of order when all structure from students' previous living environments had collapsed.
"All children who are displaced, particularly after a disaster, need structure," said Barbara Duffield, policy director of the National Association for the Education of Homeless Children and Youth. "School is a place of structure and stability when everything else has been turned upside down. It's very important psychologically, emotionally, socially. To be supported in school helps them to stabilize and normalize, and to minimize the disruption that happens in a disaster. It's very important for children's mental health."
Children displaced during disasters are technically considered homeless, and thus incur the same rights as homeless children.
The federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, landmark homeless legislation passed in 1986, among many things addresses the rights of homeless children, allowing them to attend school in the district in which they live during their displacement.
In Katrina's aftermath, when Houston schools struggled to find space for the estimated 55,000 children who fled to Houston, the McKinney-Vento Act was an effective protocol for area schools, Duffield said.
Under the act, transplanted or homeless children should immediately enroll in the district where they reside, with or without proof of birth certificates, school records, immunization records, proof of guardianship or proof of residency. Also under the act, schools are required to enroll students with new student files based on information from parents and students. Displaced and homeless students are also automatically eligible for school meals without completing forms or displaying proof of income eligibility.
Nearly half the students who attended NOW in Houston moved back to New Orleans, causing the charter school to close on May 31 - at the end of the 2007 school year - after two years of serving children forced out by Hurricane Katrina.
Johnson, who had become principal of NOW last year, will return to New Orleans to start a new school, and he's hoping to rebuild and operate out of his former school building, which was damaged heavily during the hurricane.
"Although the emergency part of the situation is over, there's so much to do," Johnson said. "The other side of this is that folks are really having a hard time emotionally, even though we made it through the rough part of the storm."

Funny or Die is at it again. The online comedy channel's show Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis has gained an Internet cult following, and his latest interview may be the best.
Galifianakis sat down with Justin Bieber for the interview and it appeared the two stars were not happy with each other.
The comedian started the interview by telling Bieber he didn't know what to ask because he'd never "interviewed a seven-year-old before."
Galifianakis took jab after jab at the singer, but asked him about important things too: like music.
"When you're in a recording studio, do you ever think, hey, what if I don't make something s****y?" Galifianakis asked.
He then asked if Bieber ever thinks of anything else while performing, and Bieber said sometimes he wished he was watching Cops instead.
Galifianakis also broached the subjects of Bieber's recent slip-ups at the Anne Frank Museum, as well as being caught on video peeing in a bucket.
But Bieber did fight back. When Galifianakis asked, "You know what I was doing at your age?" Bieber quickly responded, "Finishing fourth grade?"
The highlight of the whole video came when Galifianakis took his belt off and began spanking the Canadian singer.
"You know what? I don't like your attitude, to be quite honest," Galifianakis began yelling at Bieber. "Because you know what? You're too young to be smoking pot and peeing in buckets and driving up and down the highway fast! I don't think your mom would really mind if a stranger whipped her son."
Despite the brutal interview, Bieber was quite excited when it came out.
In all honesty it might be the most important interview of this year- http://t.co/jHXSbn6Uqa— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) September 26, 2013
Between Two Ferns has hosted some of the biggest stars in Hollywood, including Jennifer Lawrence, Natalie Portman, Naomi Watts, Anne Hathaway and others, and Galifianakis doesn't seem to treat any stars better others. He interviewed his Hangover co-star Bradley Cooper back in 2010, and treated him just about the same as he did Bieber.
Bieber tweeted earlier this month about working on a project with Funny or Die.
Off to do something funny or...die :)— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) September 13, 2013
Whether or not the interview was scripted, Bieber played along like a good sport.

The year is 1000 AD. Festivities are in full swing at the Millennial Fair. The people are celebrating the defeat of a powerful wizard in their history. Crono is going to see his best friend Luca's newest invention. On the way, he runs into a girl name Marle, who wishes to travel with him. Together they see Lucca's creation...a teleportation device that can transport a person from one place to another. Something goes wrong, and they are teleported to another time and place. They learn of a great evil that will destroy their world. Now the must journey across time to try and prevent this terrible day from coming to pass. Everything from the past to the future will change, and be re-written in order to save the present world they love so much.
In 1995, Squaresoft had just released Final fantasy VI to great critical praise, and reception. While working on the latest technology for the upcoming Final Fantasy VII, they needed something that would stem the want for the next installment. What they made was pretty far beyond what they anticipated. Chrono Trigger is defined as one of the masterpieces in the realm of RPG. Chrono Trigger is perhaps one of the most engrossing adventures in the SNES cannon. The story of Chrono is nothing like the world had seen before, but has tried many different times to emulate. In this game, your hero and his friends travel through time in a attempt to stop the Day of Lavos from happening. Things that are done in the past times have an effect on the future times within the game. This was something that had not been done before. Things such as speaking to a person in the past, can change the outcome of an entire town in the future.
The story of Chrono Trigger is one of the best. Sometimes the translation is a bit on the ugh side, as was the case with most games at the time, but it was still enough to get you completely engrossed in the game. You would not even realize that 5 hours of game play had already passed. There were plot twists a plenty in the game, as well as different little stories going on to distract you from the game. Each time you visited was given full details of history to that point, rich characters, and evil to face.
Characters are done well in Chrono Trigger too. They are not as fleshed out as the then recently released Final Fantasy VI was, but none the less they were just as engaging. You have the silent hero Crono, whom I think was actually a good idea to have as a mute character. For some reason it made him more believable. Almost reminiscent of say Dopey in Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs�. There is his best friend Lucca, who can invent or fix anything mechanical, Marle who is actually the princess in disguise. This creates the nerd and prep gal type of humor that will definitely bring a smile to your face more than once. As you travel, you can gain a whole variety of different characters ranging from a frog and cave girl, to a robot and wizard.
Game play was similar to Final Fantasy titles, but unique at the same time. Chrono Trigger utilized the ATB system found in all Square games at the time, but with a twist. Rather than entering battle screens, you fought your enemies right on the maps. As you fought, your enemies moved around. This could enable you to hit more than one enemy at a time, if they were to move close enough together. This was definitely something not seen within a RPG game before.Chrono Trigger also came up with the idea of Tech Skills, rather than traditional skills and magic. These used MP, but not only were there different types of skills, you could combine skills for bigger attacks with the right party fighting. This made you want to try different combinations of characters all the time, where you might not use someone in the party very often otherwise.
Also in a first, there were different endings to the game. Each time you go through the game, you can end the game at almost any point after the first play through. Not only did you get a different type of ending, it raised the replay value incredibly from other games. It was fun to see the different endings of the game, especially the one where Crono actually has dialogue!
Graphics in Chrono Trigger were beautiful as well. The detail of the game is fantastic for the limitations of the SNES console. The environments are lush and colorful as ever. Beautiful scenery and plants for the times where the world is still good. Dark and foreboding colors are used in the future as well as the times where evil is dominant. each character and enemy is done well, with movement and personality seldom seen in a 16 bit game.
The scoring of Chrono Trigger was brilliantly done as well. Music found in the game is fun and festive when needed, and somber or epic when things are dire. Each song fits the respective point in the game perfectly. It is also not too overdone, or underscored either. Though scaled down some from the Final Fantasy cannon, the score is definitely a masterpiece work none the less.
Chrono Trigger since its release has become one of the most sought after titles on the SNES. There have been copies sold on Ebay for as much as $200.00. It is truly a masterpiece and milestone in the gaming world. It has garnered a huge fan base all over the world, and people have even attempted fan games based on the game. Desire to see a sequel, as well as a re-release was over the top in 1999, when Square announced not only a sequel, but a re-release of the title with perhaps one of the best Final Fantasy titles in their cannon.
Final Fantasy Chronicles featuring Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy IV was released on the PS1 in 2001, shortly after the release of Chrono Cross. Not too much changed from the original game itself, but the introduction of animated sequences in the intro as well as throughout the game made it worth the effort. World renowned animator Akira Toriyama, whose is best known for Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball-Z did fantastic work on the animated sequences in the game.
The overall game play was left unchanged, as well as the storyline. There was a few minor changes in dialogue, but nothing truly noticeable. The music was remastered for the Playstation version, and sounds just as good as it did in 1995.
The greatest addition to the game was the Extras Mode, which certain parts are unlocked by beating the game in its many different times. This boosted the replay value of this title even higher. You got to see full bestiaries, treasure maps, Tech skills, and music from the game. The Chronicles sold so well, that it was re released as a greatest hits the following year. This title has also become something of a collectors item, with copies sold between $30.00 and $60.00 on Ebay and Amazon. Though it was released in America after Chrono Cross, it was definitely worth the wait to get this title again.
iN 2008, Chrono Trigger saw its third release, not to mention its return to the Nintendo lineup. This time it was released on the DS handheld system. It also saw its first release in Europe and Australia.
First the story was given a complete overhaul to fit more to the original Japanese storyline. The DS re-release contains all of the bonus material from the Chronicles version on the Playstation, as well as new additions. The added features include a dual-screen mode which clears the top screen of all menus. Love that addition! a self-completing map screen, and finally you have a default "run" option.
Masato Kato participated in development, overseeing the addition of the monster-battling Arena, two new areas, the Lost Sanctum and the Dimensional Vortex, as well as a new ending that further foreshadows the events of Chrono Cross. This was a really fantastic additional ending, since there was very little connection between the two games inside of America.
Though this versions new additions was met with some mixed reviews over the new additions, this is perhaps the best of the three different times it has been released, mostly because of the fantastic translation by Tom Slattery. It does not matter which version you have though, no gamer should ever be without this video game defining masterpiece.

Endoscopic examination of Ear, Nose, Throat & Voice apparatus
Equipment :
An Endoscope is an optical instrument with bundles of optical fibers that transmit light from a source outside the body so that one end can enter passages and cavities inside the body for visualization of these structures in utmost detail. The advantage is that the intensity of light at the source is transmitted almost with no loss of intensity to the end of the cable into the interior of the organ. This allows detailed visualization and also video photo recording at the tip at absolutely close quarters.
The heat of the light source is not conducted and therefore the light source is referred to as a cold light fountain. Certain instruments also carry extra tubes for suction and tubes to guide instruments for biopsy of pathologies deep in. Also it replaces rigid tube endoscopes of the past.. Flexible cables can see around bends and corners. Flexible endoscopes are also used when required.

The number of people facing long-term arrears on their mortgages remains "surprisingly" high despite strong economic growth, a leading housing debt expert has said.
Paul Joyce, senior policy at the Free Legal Advice Centres (Flac) welcomed Central Bank figures which showed all categories of arrears — including early arrears of up to 90 days and long term arrears had fallen.
But he said the number of people at the end of June in arrears for over 720 days, or two years, was down only slightly. He said mortgage payers in long-term arrears were the most vulnerable to the threat of losing their home and, potentially to homelessness.
The Central Bank said that there were 73,706 mortgage accounts in arrears at the end of June, down 2,716 in the quarter. The figures mean 10% of all the 732,439 mortgage accounts in the Republic were in some type of arrears. The number of accounts in arrears for over 90 days fell to 51,570, or 7.1% of all accounts, down 1,350 in the quarter.
Accounts in long-term arrears, or for over 720 days, fell only slightly, by 784, to 32,169 cases, and makes up 44% of all arrears. At €8.6bn, the Central Bank said the value of arrears of over 360 days "remains large".
"There is progress but surprisingly not as much as you would expect given the economic news. For me, accounts in arrears over a long time are more in danger of repossession. It is a massive number of households," Mr Joyce said.
He said long-term solutions should include more evidence and visibility of lenders writing debt down to the current market value of the property.
The Government should also spell out any plans it has to improve the mortgage-to-rent schemes for distressed borrowers.
Mr Joyce said the number of repossessions was currently "stable" but it was nonetheless difficult to assess the number of cases before the courts.
The Central Bank figures showed there were 281 court orders for repossessions or property sale in the second quarter. There were almost 120,400 "restructured" residential mortgages, meaning that the distressed borrower and their bank had struck some sort of new repayment deal. At the end of June, 87% of restructured accounts were meeting the terms of the new agreements.
Such deals, the Central Bank said, include interest only mortgages; a reduction in payments; extending the maturity of the mortgage; and capitalising arrears and interest. Other options include split mortgages which "have been introduced to provide more long-term solutions for customers in difficulty", the bank said.

It's true: if you want to be at the forefront of what is happening with social media, you definitely have to come to London. It's the unofficial capital of Twitter, as the site's top city in terms of usage, and also boasts the largest locational network on Facebook. So it's no wonder that most social media conferences take place there. Just two weeks after #media140, the next few are already standing in line.
The first one is Social Media '09 on 12 November, a conference and masterclass for professionals working in the marketing, PR, advertising & corporate communications. The case studies on product launch and campaigning will be about the Wonderbra and the recruitment for the RAF, showing how mainstream social networking has become. Among those offering their experience will be the Channel 4 presenter Sarah Beeny and the social media expert Mat Morrison. In addition, the conference will focus on the important question how to use monitoring tools to track one's brand; user engagement is hard to measure.
The second conference, Monitoring Social Media 09, on 17 November, focuses on the future of social media. It promises nothing less than a marketing revolution, namely that "refined social data changes everything you ever thought about marketing". Besides, the one-day conference plans to take brands on the next step "beyond listening". For that, the likes of Matt Atkinson from one of UK's largest digital agencies, EHS Brann, and Paul Alexander, the CEO of Beyond Analysis, are sharing their thoughts on several interesting questions. What are the growth areas in social media? What techniques are emerging and will data be more open or more closed? It can be tough deciding, so we want to know that, too.
Finally, on 23 November, Silicon Valley is coming not to London, but to Oxford University's Said business school for a debate on the rather abstract question "Social Networks: What Next?". The panel is convincing, however, with exciting experts such as Biz Stone of Twitter, Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn and Jim Buckmaster of Craigslist among others for its evening panel discussion.
Stay tuned, we will report.

One of the star offerings at the 2015 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale this week on the Gold Coast has been former star sprinter Varenna Miss, who made $1million on Thursday when offered in foal to Golden Slipper winner and Champion 2YO Pierro.
Consigned for sale by Newgate Farm, the Group II winning half-sister by Redoute's Choice to globe-trotting triple Group I winner Criterion was bought by Emirates Park.
"She's one of the nicest mares we've seen for ages," said Emirates Park's Trevor Lobb.
"She's just a lovely mare and she's in foal to the right horse and we couldn't be more pleased to get her.
"She had enormous ability and she has a great family – a progressive family – a sister to a champ and that's what it's all about."
Varenna Miss was one of 220 mares covered last spring by Pierro, who was super popular at the Magic Millions Select Weanling Sale last week where his progeny averaged $190,909.

President-elect Donald Trump has said he will nominate retired Marine Corps General James Mattis to be his defense secretary.
Mattis, who is known as "Mad Dog" and renowned for his tough talk, retired in 2013 after serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
|James Mattis, 66, ex-Marine
"We are going to appoint 'Mad Dog' Mattis as our secretary of defense," Trump announced during a post-election victory rally in Cincinnati on Thursday. He said the formal announcement would be made on Monday.
His appointment would be another indication that Trump, a Republican, intends to steer US foreign policy away from Democratic President Barack Obama's increased reliance on US allies to fight armed groups and to help deter Russian and Chinese aggression in Europe and Asia.
"Mattis has often been very critical of Washington, especially when it comes to the strategy in the Middle East, saying the US simply has no strategy," Al Jazeera's Kimberly Halkett reported from Cincinnati.
Halkett said Mattis is "known to have a rather aggressive stance against former adversaries, particularly Iran" and is not supportive of the Iran nuclear agreement.
"He says it [the Iran deal] may slow but certainly not stop Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon," she said.
Mattis, whose past assignments include leading Central Command, which oversees US military operations in the Middle East and South Asia, is known for his colourful expressions that unashamedly embrace the job of the US armed forces: fighting wars.
"It will be difficult to get Mattis approved [by Congress] given the fact there is currently a law that says any secretary of defense should not have been in active duty in the past seven years," Halkett added.
"Certainly Trump feels that this is something that can be overlooked."
Congress can make an exception for Mattis, as it did for George C Marshall in 1950.

#artssowhite - How can arts education help build equity in the arts?
Posted by Feb 04, 2016 0 comments
Oscar season is upon us and rather than debating who will win Best Picture or Best Actor/Actress, the debate has been how "white" the Oscars are. #oscarssowhite went viral and African American actors began to boycott. As a result, the Academy (which is 94% white) responded by making the bold move to change their composition to reflect more diversity.
The Oscar issue is reflective of a much larger issue across all sectors of the arts; lack of diversity. I just returned from the annual meeting of American's for the Arts and all of their advisory councils. This issue of diversity and equity was front-and-center over the three-day meeting, as it has become a top priority for AFTA. On the Arts Education Advisory Council, on which I sit, we have worked to increase its diversity in a number of ways over the past years focusing on the gender balance, age and experience spread, and diversity of community with respect to urban and rural issues. However, as I looked around the room, the issue was apparent: race. And looking around the larger room with all the councils and the board gathered together, the issue was very similar. The first step is admitting you have a problem. The good news is that concrete steps are being taken by AFTA to begin reflecting the changing demographics of America and to help lead necessary change across the country.
We attended an enlightening talk by USC professor Manuel Pastor that outlined the dramatic demographic shift happening in America. His work and new book outline the issue (and opportunities) in great detail, but the bottom line is that the ethnicity, age, and income gap in America is growing wider and wider with no change in the forecast.
It's no surprise that the Latino population is exploding, followed by increases in Asian/Pacific Islander. African American has stayed steady, while "Non-Hispanic Whites" numbers have decreased dramatically. What was surprising is that the increase in Latinos is not from immigration, but rather from newborns of settled Latino immigrants. Another surprising fact: the median age of Non-Hispanic Whites is 42 and the median age of Latino's is 27 (Pacific Islander 35, African Americans 32). So there's an emerging generation gap that's also feeding into the growing income inequality gap between these groups. In 2013 California's Annual Adjusted Gross Income for the top 1% was $1.6 million while the Middle Fifth is just $37,000.
Why does all this matter for the equity in the arts? Well, it all comes down two letters: "F-U" – Funding the Underserved, or lack there of. The emerging artists, audiences, and arts leaders of tomorrow do not reflect the majority of individuals who fund and lead the arts today – who, to be quite frank, are primarily wealthier white individuals (although arts leaders are not necessarily wealthy). I resemble that remark. Funding and power are being filtered through their lenses of the arts, leaving many of the underserved populations without access and exposure to arts opportunities that reflect their cultural heritage. Because there are finite funding dollars available, some hard choices will need to be made. Some will have to sacrifice so that others may gain. A recent article in The Atlantic, "Who Should Fund the Arts in America?" goes in depth on the issue at hand.
By the way, I would also argue that equity is not just a demographic issue but a geographic one as well. As I've traveled to speak in rural communities around the country I would say there is an even greater inequity in these communities. At least in urban and metropolitan areas, there are tons of arts resources around to access. Not so in rural America. There are literally no arts resources for hundreds of miles. A majority of America is made up of rural communities.
There's no silver bullet to solve this extremely complex issue but I believe we can start through arts education. As I sat through professor Pastor's presentation, one thing became clear to me: Low(er)-income Latino youth and young adults are the emerging demographic trend in America. So we must start there.
By providing greater arts access and exposure for underserved youth in culturally competent ways, we begin to develop the pipeline of artists, audiences, arts leaders and funders the country needs. We need to provide as many access points and creative pathways for underserved youth to engage in the arts as possible - both inside and outside the classroom. We took a big step this past winter when the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) passed in which the arts were identified as a core subject, a monumental win in arts education that didn't get a lot of exposure outside our field. But it will have tremendous impact on getting more arts and arts funding into school environments in underserved communities, weather through arts integrations, straight arts education, or STEAM.
I am biased, but I believe community-based youth arts programs that focus on Creative Youth Development are uniquely positioned to address this challenge and can lead this change. Organizations like A Reason To Survive (ARTS), Say Si, Dreamyard Project, A Step Beyond, and many more are located in the center of underserved communities that reflect the emerging demographics. We work in a social change framework, using the arts and self-expression to give youth a voice. We achieve youth development goals to prepare them for a successful life by building skills needed in the 21st century such as resilience, teamwork, creative problem solving, workforce development, and civic engagement. These skills will translate into higher earning potential (future arts funders) and leadership positions (future arts leaders). We're also building artistic skills and excellence to nurture the next generation of great artists, as well as promoting a wide appreciation of the arts, turning our students into avid audiences.
The numbers and data don't lie. We must rethink and reconstruct arts programming, funding, and power structure to support a younger, more culturally diverse America that is emerging. Through arts education we can change the hash-tag from #artsowhite to #artssodiverse.

In exactly what way does a distributed source code management system change the way you work?
It gives you private branches and commits, which allow you to work with the power of a VCS, but without having to pollute the main repo with dead ends, poorly written changes, and experiments. It also allows for true disconnected operation, and allows any developer to "pull" from another developer, again without having to pollute the master repository.
And specifically with git vs. SVN, git offers true branches and tags (unlike SVN's bizarre, nonsensical "simulations"), and true merges.
And do try to go easy on the phrase "paradigm shift" in your explanation even if this is one; marketdroids love over-using it and it's come to be a code phrase for "same old, same old". Focus on how things have changed for you and you'll get a better response.
It (git and distributed VCS) is a "paradigm shift" the same way that, say, the relational model is a paradigm shift over the network model. It generalizes the problem and strips it down to certain fundamental concepts, and makes those concepts available to you directly, instead of under a layer of ill-conceived and limited operators.
For instance, in SVN, how do you move a changeset from the tip of one branch to another? You can't. It's not allowed by the model, even though in terms of more fundamental operations, it's easy to describe. But in git, you can. Just cherry pick it to the new branch, then move the tip of the old branch back one changeset (the "dangling" changeset on the old branch will eventually get garbage collected). You could also write your own "git-move-changeset" command using the existing low-level git commands.
Instead of considering the deeper, underlying issues, the SVN team just cloned CVS's behavior and made it cleaner. Too bad.
That's exactly what a "paradigm shift" is: finding the deeper, fundamental operations and then showing how the existing systems are just subsets of that functionality.
[git] gives you private branches and commits
Subversion provides the capability for private branching an commits. Problem is, you failed to define "private". If you mean private in the sense that you can work on your own without having others' changes affect your personal work area (or visa versa), then subversion provides private branching. If you are talking about privacy in the sense of others not knowing what you're doing, then you need svk for that.
And specifically with git vs. SVN, git offers true branches and tags (unlike SVN's bizarre, nonsensical "simulations")
Subversion provides true branches. It just does so in a directory-tree model. There's no mathemat
The former. I was able to load the article, but can't get it back now. He said something like it's "good enough" for many people, but no one's really excited about SVN. To me, that's crap. SVN does what it does very well. What more could you really want from a centrally-managed versioning system?Did he slam it, or did he say that it's fine, just not appropriate for a project as distributed as the kernel?
Too bad Continuus costs too much to try, I think he would want to return to SVN after using that piece of shit.
I used to use CVS (and still do for some projects). Then I switched over to SVN. It was remarkably unremarkable.
Then, a few months ago, there was a
I was up and running in about 20 minutes. You can use cvs/svn like commands, *but* you get local / decentralized repositories with fast forking and merging.
Start a project. Type "git init" and you've got a repository in place (you don't have to initialize and then check it out). "git add
It took a little bit more effort to figure out how to push/pull from a remote repository, but it's fairly straightforward. A bunch of people can work in a group, have their own local repositories, and then merge their changes (along with the revision history). It's awesome.
The only reason I haven't switched all of my projects over to it is that the IDEs I use (Xcode and Eclipse) don't have good git integration (as far as I know).
Sorry but in my experience it was just marginally better (and in day-to-day use, from the end-users perspective, the only real difference I felt was that I was typing "svn commit" or "svn update" instead of "cvs commit" or "cvs update").
I'm not saying there aren't cool things about SVN (like atomic commits and directories), but Subversion doesn't fundamentally change the way you work like Git.
You say "it doesn't feature distributed repositories" like that's some sort of trivial throw-away nothing. It's
It's also trivial to create a local repository with Git. "git init" and you're running. Sure, you can do it with CVS or SVN, but you've got to create a special directory, check your stuff in and then check it out. It might not sound like much, but that extra little barrier was enough to keep me from even considering SVN/CVS for small throw-away projects that I wouldn't hesitate to keep under version control with Git.
On the contrary, until Git has better IDE plugins it's actually easier to use Subversion fo
I suspect a lot of people really don't much like CVS, so I didn't really even expect anybody to argue that CVS was really anything but a legacy system. And while I've gotten a few people who argued that I shouldn't have been quite so impolite against SVN (and hey, that's fair -- I'm really not a very polite person!), I don't think anybody actually argued that SVN was 'good'.
SVN is, I think, a classic case of 'good enough'. It's what people are used to, and it's 'good enough' to be used fairly widely, but it's good enough in exactly the sense DOS and Windows were 'good enough'. Not great technology, just very widely available, and it works well enough for people and looks familiar enough that people use it. But very few people are 'proud' of it, or excited about it.
And here is the reaction from the subversion team [tigris.org]. For those of you who don't want to RTFA, they basically say they agree, its not appropriate for something like Linux.
BTW, isn't this all old news? His original comment on subversion was dated from 05
SVN keeps a
.svn metadata folder in each normal directory; hence if you have 1000 normal directories you get 2000 directories.
Not only that, for each file, Subversion keeps a copy of the last version you checked out of (or in to) the repository, so if you have 10 MB of source code, you end up with 20 MB used on disk. GIT's pack file support lets you keep the entire history of a project in space that is usually comparable to the size of the source code.
In one of my projects that uses GIT, I have 7.5 MB of
"Did he slam it, or did he say that it's fine, just not appropriate for a project as distributed as the kernel?"
I can't tell you what he said now. But he repeteadly said that CVS and Subversion didn't fit the Linux development model, not because it is big, or distributed, just because it is different. And it seems people keep asking him that same question
Q: India is one of the major producers of software engineers, yet we don't contribute much to the Linux domain.
The interviewer is not correct. There are a goodly number of India-based developers who contribute to the Linux kernel. Suparna Bhattacharya and Badari Pulavarty come to mind, there are lots more.
To some extent, the heavy influence of India-based developers on the kernel is due to IBM having a major lab there, which is being emulated by a number of other Linux-backing corporations. The quality of technology education seems exceptionally high from what I can see, and to be honest, the Indian culture seem
Think that could be because its an Indian news site and the guy himself is Indian?
Believe it or not, just because something is published on the world wide web doesn't mean it has to cut out everything of local interest.
outsourcing to India (they talk a lot about India actually)
They don't talk about outsourcing anywhere; the word isn't even used once as far as I can tell.
The interview appears to have been conducted (and the questions provided by) Indians, so questions like "[how could we] encourage Indians to get involved and contribute heavily [to open source]?" are not surprising. I thought they were interesting questions, actually.
Isn't that another way of saying "I am a troll?"I like making strong statements, because I find the discussion interesting.
Linus seems unaware that the preferred desktop on Solaris is now a rebranded version of GNOME.The Linux desktop is just so much better than what traditional Solaris has, and I expect Solaris to move more and more towards a more Linux-like model there.

World's Biggest Rabbit Weighs 49 Pounds, Eats $4,000 In Food A Year
A Continental Giant rabbit named Darius has been named the world's largest bunny, weighing in at 49 pounds.
Darius eats roughly 4,000 carrots a year, which costs his owner $4,000 to keep up with. The rabbit also eats about 15 cabbages, 60 dog bowls of rabbit feed, 1 bale of hay and 30 apples a month.
"If Darius had his way he would never stop eating," Annette Edwards, Darius' owner, said. "He is very greedy, I really have to watch him."
Edwards added that she never gets too angry with Darius for eating so much because of his great personality.
"Luckily he likes to hop around all the time," Edwards said of his weight.
Though Contintental Giant rabbits were originally bred for their meat and fur, they are docile and friendly when raised with humans and can make great pets.

Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, January 17, 2005; Page B01
Todd Shapiro was one of the first in line yesterday at the "will call" ticket office at the Loews Hotel at L'Enfant Plaza, flying in from New York City on Saturday night just to pick up his inaugural tickets. He planned to fly back home yesterday, then return to Washington tomorrow for the start of the inaugural celebrations.
"I wanted to be the first in line to pick up my tickets to the ball," Shapiro said, as he lounged on a chair in the lobby, tickets in hand. "I was second or third."
This week's inauguration will be the fifth for Shapiro, who owns a public relations company. He didn't vote for President Bush, he said, but is still eager to watch him take his second oath of office. "Whether it was Bush or Kerry, I wouldn't miss it for the world," he said. "I don't think of the inauguration as a celebration of one candidate winning. I think the inauguration is a celebration of our right to vote."
Then his serious tone disappeared. "It's also a great big party," Shapiro said, a Louis Vuitton scarf wrapped around his neck and a constantly ringing cell phone in one hand. "You don't have to be Republican, you don't have to be a Democrat to love to party."
The opening of the will-call office helped put a face on the swarms of visitors descending on Washington from across the country this week for three days of partying and to support the 55th presidential inauguration. As hotels prepared to receive guests and designers clothed their clients and intelligence officers double-checked security plans, some visitors might have caught a sneak preview of the parade. Preparations for the extravaganza, which had 10,000 participants and shuttered streets for a two-hour dress rehearsal, began before dawn yesterday.
By breakfast, the nearly deserted streets of downtown echoed with the sounds of military music and marching boots in a full rehearsal of the inauguration, minus the president and the high school bands. In their places -- at the mock swearing-in or marching down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House -- were men and women from the five military services, signs around their necks to denote the groups they represented.
Tourists and morning joggers paused to watch the spectacle and feel the pavement vibrate as feet clad in black leather boots, suede desert boots and patent leather shoes struck the ground. Instead of the dress uniforms they will wear Thursday, most of the troops wore green and desert camouflage uniforms, earmuffs and knit caps.
"It's a celebration of democracy," said Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Price of Morgantown, W.Va., a saxophonist with the Army Field Band who played at the second inauguration of Bill Clinton in 1997 and his 2001 departure from Andrews Air Force Base. "I'm extremely proud to be part of that tradition."
For the first inauguration since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, members of the military marching in the parade will have to pass through the same security checks as the public. No metal detectors were on hand for the rehearsal, so they briefly stopped before stepping onto the Mall, as if there were.
Several said that as they practiced, their thoughts were trained on distant battlefields.
Sgt. 1st Class Mark Regensburger of Vassar, Mich., who plays tuba in the Army band, found himself thinking of two members of the 82nd Airborne Division he knew when he was a member of that unit's band. "Every day, you get up and prepare and train," he said just before lifting his 40-pound instrument and setting off. "Some days it leads to the ultimate sacrifice. Knowing people you've worked beside who have paid that sacrifice is a sobering thought."
Many tourists were startled when they came across the parade. "I knew there was an inauguration party on January 20," Katsuya Nakashima, a visitor from Japan, said as he recorded the procession with one camera while his wife, Kaori, stood at his side shooting with another. "But I was surprised to see this today. It was very impressive."
Other visitors came to town specifically to watch the rehearsal. For Tonya Ryman, a two-hour drive from her home in Strasburg, Va., and the chill of a January morning were not enough to dissuade her and her sons, Seth, 14, and Evan, 9, from waking up early to watch the procession. Ryman said she wanted her sons, both of whom dream of joining the Navy, to be a part of history.
"We're definitely behind [the troops] 150,000 percent," Ryman said. "So, I think it does mean a lot more this year."
Thursday, they'll watch it on television at home. Today, she said, "it may be the practice run, but we're still here."
People who will be here for the real thing were eager to get to the will-call office.
Vietnam veteran Johnnie Williams drove nearly 20 hours straight from New Orleans, stopping for gas, a Subway sandwich and fried chicken. He arrived early Saturday and showed up at will-call clutching a letter from the president that began, "Dear Johnnie," and thanked him for being a campaign volunteer. "When you receive a personal invitation, it's hard to refuse," said Williams, 58, who also received an invitation from the inaugural committee.
Across town, another type of trial run took place. At a U.S. military command center in an unmarked brick building in Southwest Washington, Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard personnel sat in three rows facing a series of television and computer displays yesterday morning. Ceiling-mounted red strobe lights flashed whenever people without security clearances were present.
After a secret briefing about air security, about 100 troops under Navy Rear Adm. Jan C. Gaudio tested the readiness of U.S. combat teams, medical units, chemical and biological incident response forces and others in the rehearsal. Officers listened at one point as a colleague relayed decontamination sites and weather forecasts in the event of a chemical release.
"This is the day, that if you have any questions about your procedures and systems' ability to communicate and coordinate, this is the day we need to resolve it. Here on in, it's game time," Gaudio said. "This is a huge event. I don't think I need to tell you that. We're ready. Good luck."
While life was quiet at many area hotels yesterday, employees scurried behind the scenes to get ready before most guests start arriving tomorrow. At the Willard InterContinental Washington, only a couple of hundred square feet of red carpet remained to be installed from the Peacock Alley promenade and out the hotel's front entrance. Ceiling-to-floor royal-blue drapes festooned with white stars billowed at the entrance. Still to come were the six yellow rose of Texas topiaries to prettify the lobby and hundreds of American flags to frame hotel room windows.
"We had brainstorming sessions about how to make the Willard dance," said Barbara Bahny, the hotel's public relations director and one of its planners of pre-inaugural finery. "The 200 flags are so the whole building will look like its fluttering."
Some hotel customers, meanwhile, have begun packing. Gayla Bentley, a high-end fashion designer from Houston, said her clients are packing ensembles for every occasion to which they are invited. She even designed a comfortable outfit -- pants, a zipper jacket and a pashmina shawl -- for one woman's plane ride north.
"These are well-planned people," Bentley said. "They booked hotel rooms as soon as the election took place and have reservations everywhere."
Many clients did not pick anything too ostentatious, given the state of events in Iraq and South Asia, she said. They're choosing $2,000 outfits that are more "respectful" and comfortable from a product line that can cost as much as $10,000.
"People want to be elegant, not too showy," she said. "This is not the Golden Globes."
Staff writers Nancy Trejos, Nicole Fuller, Jennifer Lenhart and Ian Shapira contributed to this report.

I noticed this on Cocos2d-html5 and posted there but no one responded. So I decided to try it out on Cocos2d-x and there problem exists here too :P.
Basically if I rotate a layer that contains a sprite and then try to convert that sprite's position to the world coordinates, I get values that are WAAAAY off.
// This is a layer that has just been created, no other transformations have been done to it.
CCSprite* sp = CCSprite::create();
// Place sprite in middle of the screen.
sp->setPosition(ccp(300, 400));
CCPoint p = convertToWorldSpace(sp->getPosition()); // I get (380, -1.3e-05)!!!
That is certainly not what I would expect, I would expect to remain at (300, 400). I'm not if I'm misunderstanding something here or it's an issue in the framework.

This paper summarizes findings of research conducted to understand limitations to savings mobilization in Ethiopia. The paper claims that although financial outreach has deepened in the country since 1996, a number of gaps remain. It further suggests the appropriateness of financial products and services, staff attitude and behavior of providers need to be tailored to meet target market requirements in order to increase outreach. Key findings concerning Ethiopian MFIs include:
- Product development is not supported by detailed market research;
- Voluntary saving is effectively promoted only to borrowers and not to net savers;
- Telling a potential client once about the benefits of saving with an MFI is not enough;
- Institutions should demonstrate their competitive advantage in relation to other informal and formal savings mechanisms;
- Most MFIs have no real strategy for linking with informal financial mechanisms like Iddir, SHGs, etc.;
- Managers must help their employees understand why savings mobilization is as important to their job and to their institution as credit;
- Saving targets are often set in the traditional top-down fashion, sometimes not endorsed by branch and front line staff.
