Topeka Nancy Kassebaum, the state's favorite daughter, will end her U.S. Senate career after three terms.
Sen. Nancy Kassebaum's retirement speech Monday was a personal victory.
"I'm sure everyone had their fingers crossed to make sure I didn't choke and break down," she whispered to sister-in-law Linda Jensen of Prairie Village after announcing she wouldn't seek a fourth term in the U.S. Senate.
For the record, the Kansas Republican did wipe a tear from an eye but didn't turn the event into a tear-jerker.
The feelings she controlled weren't borne of sadness. They were prompted by the reality that in January 1997 she will leave behind the hurly-burly of the nation's capital for life in the pastoral Flint Hills of Kansas.
"My reason for this decision is very simple and purely personal. I believe the time has come for me to leave the Senate and pursue other challenges, including the challenge of being a grandmother," said Kassebaum, casting a smile toward 20-month-old granddaughter, Theo.
Kassebaum's goal is to take up residence in a 120-year-old stone farmhouse in Burdick, a tiny town 35 miles south of Junction City. It's deep enough off the beaten path visitors cross a couple cattle guards to reach the house.
"It's so quiet, you can hear time pass," Jensen said.
Supporters turn out
Kassebaum, who won respect from peers as a moderate and thoughtful senator during the past 17 years, is immensely popular in Kansas. More than 100 of her biggest supporters attended a retirement news conference in the oak-trimmed Old Supreme Court Chamber in the Statehouse.
Wichita attorney Carl Bell has known the senator for more than 30 years. He was a witness to the end of her career as well as the beginning. He recalls how Kassebaum bucked the odds in 1978 to win election to the Senate.
"There was a big field of candidates," he said. "She would get up and talk. People would clap politely. Most didn't take her seriously at all. Then, lo and behold, she won the primary and the election."
Years of high-power federal politics didn't change her, said Milton Roberts, whose wife, Betty Jo, runs the senator's constituent office in Garden City.
"She stayed frequently at our house," Roberts said. "You could visit with her like anybody else. That's what makes her so special."
Moments before Kassebaum entered the room to face more than a dozen television cameras, Kansas University student Toland Wright of Savannah, Ga., asked for her autograph. Kassebaum was glad to comply.
"I've always wanted to meet her," he said. "She's one of my few female heroes."
Time to move on
Kassebaum, 63, is the 10th senator to announce plans to retire. One other Republican and eight Democrats have decided against seeking re-election.
Her decision to retire was made without reservation.
"I think there is just a time when we can sense internally whether it's time to leave or time to stay, and felt this was the time to leave," she said.
Kassebaum said she began formulating retirement plans upon election to a third term in 1990. However, her election in 1994 to chair of the Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, which handles job training, health, the arts and other issues, did give her pause.
"That weighed in, but as I say you just have a certain sense when it is time to move on," she said.
Kassebaum said she hadn't wavered in her commitment to retire during the past month but delayed an announcement to retain political muscle and keep potential successors from launching campaigns.
Of course, within minutes of Kassebaum's announcement former state Sen. Eric Yost, R-Wichita, said he would declare his candidacy today.
Kassebaum didn't unveil a hand-picked successor, but said she would welcome a field of candidates that included women. She predicted the GOP would retain the seat.
"On the other hand, you never know in politics. That's what makes it always interesting and challenging," she said.
No spectator
Kassebaum said she had changed during her three terms. The immediacy of news reporting and the desire to grab headlines has caused too many elected officials to lose sight of real issues.
"Politics has never been a revered profession in America. We tend to be viewed as scalawags most of the time. ... But politics is nothing more or less than the working out of our competing interests and priorities as a nation. Politics is, in fact, the lifeblood of democracy, not a spectator sport."
Asked to list her accomplishments in office, Kassebaum first cited passage of an aviation product liability law that increased opportunities for the manufacture of small aircraft.
She also was proud of pushing through federal job-training reforms that would turn about 90 programs back to the states and was continuing to work on a bill that would reform the Food and Drug Administration.
Urged by a reporter to identify any votes she now regretted, the senator was less forthcoming.
"Well, I'm not going to tell you!"
Kassebaum made it clear she had no intention of being a lame duck during the remainder of her term.
"I hope during that year to be very involved in some major pieces of legislation," the senator said.
She also intends to campaign for Sen. Bob Dole, R-Kan., who is making a strong bid for the Republican presidential nomination.
Personally, Kassebaum said she didn't expect to become a candidate for elective office in the future. That doesn't mean she won't listen to offers.
"You should keep your options open. I have no intention of going back to Washington," she said. "You just never know what opportunities there may be."

Australia: Tigers fined for Ebi Ere usePosted by Inside Hoops
Sep 8
The National Basketball League (NBL) has fined the Melbourne Tigers team $4,000 for playing import Ebi Ere in a pre-season game without an international clearance.
Ere suited up for the Tigers in their 125-106 pre-season win over the Townsville Crocodiles at the Mackay Basketball Stadium in Queensland on Saturday 6 September.
NBL interim Chief Executive Officer Chuck Harmison said that Ere played without obtaining the necessary Foreign Player Licence and International Clearance, and as a result the Tigers had been fined by the League.
"It's a fairly basic rule that all import players need to get the necessary clearances from FIBA before playing for their new team, and unfortunately the Tigers failed to obtain these on Ere's behalf before playing him on Saturday night," said Harmison. "As a result, we were left with no alternative other than to impose sanctions against the Tigers."
"As the infraction occurred in a pre-season game, we felt a fine was appropriate in this instance," Harmison added. "If this had been a regular season game, they would potentially have faced the loss of competition points as well as a significantly larger fine, so this is a serious breach on their behalf."

First Alert Forecast: record warm streak about to yield to a cool-down
It's a record! As of Monday, the temperature at Wilmington failed to fall below 70 degrees for 57 straight mornings! The previous record 70+ streak was 56 days in 2012. But alas! A change! A northern high pressure system will deliver slightly cooler and less humid air for much of the upcoming week.

James supports Virtual User Tables described by either XML or JDBC. See config.xml for an example.
Before I go into explaining how to set up one of the mapping mailets, I want to explain how they will work. Basically, all that a "virtual user table" does is forward emails. THAT'S it. If you think about it this way, it will be very easy to understand it. All we do is forward emails from one address to another. For instance:
james@localhost -> firstname.lastname@example.com // forward to an outside domain
email@example.com -> firstname.lastname@example.com // Pretty much set up an alias if candy is local
firstname.lastname@example.com -> firstname.lastname@example.com // Yet another alias
That's all there is to it. Now the trick is that this simple function allows us to do powerful things, such as having virutal domains.
Say, we're hosting 2 domains, cars.com and boats.com. Now the owners of both domains want to have "support@" email accounts. Normally, if we created an account "support", both email@example.com and email@example.com would be the same email account - and that would be unacceptable. So instead, we can set up the following forwards:
firstname.lastname@example.com -> support..cars.com@localhost
firstname.lastname@example.com -> support..boats.com@localhost
Obviously, we have to create two local accounts: "support..cars.com" and "support..boats.com". So, now when you send a support email to cars.com, it would go into a local account "support..cars.com". When you send an email to email@example.com, the email would go into a local account "support..boats.com".
Now the whole "support..domain.com" thing is called a naming policy. It is important to keep and follow a strict policy, otherwise you'll have nightmare trying to manage your email accounts.
This is really how easy it is to set up virtual domains. There is however, one problem, which I hope will soon be addressed: even though we have separate accounts for support@ email address, the following addresses would still be valid:
They're valid since they're still treated as normal local email accounts. So this is a TODO and I hope it's addressed soon. It's not really crucial and nobody probably would ever know about it except for the admin, but it still gives me a sense of insecurity.
Now that you understand the theory, in technical terms it's just as simple as the theory. Currently, there are two implementations of this that I know of - XML (XMLVirtualUserTable) and JDBC (JDBCVirtualUserTable) - both come packaged with james 2.2.
Both work exactly the same way, except XML gets its entries from the config file, and JDBC gets them from (you guessed) a database. I highly recommend that you use JDBC over XML if you're planning to have more than 10 different email accounts. If you use XML, every time you want to make a change or add something, you'd have to restart the server.
The entries that both of these mailets accept are:
Compare this with our theory:
user@domain -> target_address
And that's pretty much all there is to it. If we want to have email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com, assuming that we use "account..domain.com" naming policy, we would have the following entries:
User: support Domain: cars.com Target_Address: support..cars.com@localhost
User: support Domain: boats.com Target_Address: support..boats.com@localhost
While it seems a bit complicated, in more simple language, the above entries are:
email@example.com -> support..cars.com@localhost
firstname.lastname@example.com -> support..boats.com@localhost
And this is all there is to it.
First of all, you should READ the following: http://james.apache.org/FAQ.html#7 <-Link no longer works
Just read it, but don't do anything about it just yet. I'll walk you through the proccess to the best of my abilities.
Setting Up Database
- Well first you need a database. I use MySQL (www.MySQL.com), but you can use whatever you want, as long as they have a JDBC driver. So get and install a database (I'm not going to walk you through this - they have entire books written on the subject; I assume if you're an admin, you should know how to install a database).
- After installing the database, create a db named "mail" or whatever you want to call it:
create database mail default charset utf8
Now you want to create a user with privileges on database "mail". I don't create users via raw SQL, I use MySQLCC, so I don't really know what the SQL for that is
- Now we want to add the table for mappings:
CREATE TABLE VirtualUserTable ( user varchar(64) NOT NULL default '', domain varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', target_address varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', PRIMARY KEY (user,domain) );
Ok we're half way there.
Configuring XML
So now we just need to add that mailet in your xml configuration.
- Go to your james home directory (it's inside of whatever your installation folder was, /apps/james/), and go to SAR-INF, and open file "config.xml" (I suggest making a backup copy before editing).
First of all you want to make sure that inside your "<servernames>" you have an entry "<servername>localhost</servername>". It's not really required since you can forward to any local address, but it's good practice.
Now let's tell JAMES where our database is. Scroll all the way down to "<database-connections>". There are a couple examples in there that you could use. Here's my setup:
<data-source name="maildb" class="org.apache.james.util.dbcp.JdbcDataSource"> <driver>com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</driver> <dburl>jdbc:mysql://127.0.0.1:3306/mail?autoReconnect=true&useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8</dburl>  <user>mail</user>  <password>YourPassword</password> <max>20</max> </data-source>
Now notice there's a "driver" setting, which in my case is MySQL's JConnector driver, which you can find here: http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/j/3.1.html
Download the driver, and stick the .jar file inside your $INSTALL_DIRECTORY/lib. If you use a different database or have a reason to use a different driver, don't forget to change the "<driver>" setting and put the driver itself on the classpath.
Notice that the "<data-source>" tag had a "name" attribute. This doesn't have to be "maildb", it can be anything. But stick to maildb as a standard.
Now let's insert the mailet itself. Scroll up to "<spoolmanager>" and find "<proccessor name="root">". A couple lines below that you should have comments explaining how to set up an "XMLVirtualUserTable" mailet. Right after the "RelayLimit=30" mailet, insert the following:
<mailet match="All" class="JDBCVirtualUserTable">
db://maildb/VirtualUserTable
 </mailet>
Note that you can change the "maildb" if your data source had a different name; or VirtualUserTable, if the table you created earlier has a different name. We're almost done.
- Restart the server by running $INSTALL_DIR/bin/phoenix.sh restart
- Let's assume that we have two users named "bob" and "jen", and bob owns "domain1.com" and jen owns "domain2.com". Both want their own name account and "sales@" account for their domains pointing to their names.
- Start by editing your database either by hand or through a GUI client (my pref), and insert a couple entries:
user: bob domain: yourdomain1.com target_address: bob..yourdomain1.com@localhost
user: jen domain: yourdomain2.com target_address: jen..yourdomain2.com@localhost
user: sales domain: yourdomain1.com target_address: bob..yourdomain1.com@localhost
user: sales domain: yourdomain2.com target_address: jen..yourdomain2.com@localhost
- Create two users:
telnet localhost 4555 root yourpassword adduser bob..yourdomain1.com bobsPassword adduser jen..yourdomain2.com jensPassword quit
TADA! Now you should have two users: email@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com . Emails sent to "email@example.com" will get a user not found message (unless of course you have another mapping for that domain name or a local user named simply "jen", which would break our naming policy).
Also, emails sent to firstname.lastname@example.com will go to bob's email; all sent to firstname.lastname@example.com will go to jen's email.
- I should note that when giving Bob his login information, you should say the following:
Your email address is "firstname.lastname@example.com" Your username is "bob..yourdomain1.com" (same as your email address, but with two dots instead of "at") Your password is bobsPassword
- By now you should be finished. It is now fairly easy to create a web-based management system for the accounts.
Don't forget that besides virtual domains, you use the same approach to forward to outside domains. For instance, if jen from our previous example wanted all emails sent to "firstname.lastname@example.com" to go to the US president, you would have to add the following entry in the VirtualUserTable table:
user: CEO domain: yourdomain2.com target_address: firstname.lastname@example.com
The reason I mentioned that you should have a nameserver "localhost" in the very beginning is because I had some hard times figuring out why the virtual table wasn't working. The problem was my target_address entries - I'd specify them as simply "bob..yourdomain1.com". Turns out that JDBCVirtualUserTable automatically appends "@localhost" to target_addresses that don't have a domain part. And I didn't have the "localhost" in my servernames, and as a result the message couldn't be delivered.
- The only advice I have here is: read your logs. So far that helped me fix most of the problems.
- Also, don't be afraid to ask questions in the JAMES mail list
- I want to say thank you to the developers of JAMES; you made a truly great mail server compared with what's out there. Migrating from qmail was like switching from a wooden chair to a nice comfortable leather one. All of a sudden I'm in the driver's seat, I know exactly what's going on, and I'm not scared to mess around.
- Also I want to say thanks to the JAMES mail list - I couldn't have done it without you guys
- Special thanks go out to Daniel Perry and Illa Chipitsine for their invaluable help
I am not qualified to write this since I haven't used it myself. However, if you read the Theory and More Technical sections, you should have no problem whatsoever setting it up. Besides, there are comments in the config.xml that pretty much give you an example.


text: Tasers State Police To Be Outfitted With Tasers By Flo Jonic • Oct 14, 2013 Rhode Island state police have a new weapon in their war on crime. Rhode Island state police have purchased Tasers for all troopers and are training them in their proper use. State police commander Colonel Steven O'Donnell said the aim is to prevent the use of firearms where possible. "The feedback is great. It's another tool to protect them and to protect other people. And they're a great tool on the street. People know what a taser does so when you deploy a taser you get a lot more compliance instead of just verbal commands," said O'Donnell.

Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement
Weigh Station Uses Technology to Protect Kentucky Roads
If you drive on Interstate 65, you're almost guaranteed to see a semi-truck.
In fact, in Kentucky, commercial trucks make up more than 50-percent of all interstate traffic.
These trucks can carry different things, including some things that could be harmful to you.
More than 6,000 thousand of these trucks creep across the scale at the Simpson County Weight Station everyday.
Before they can continue down one of the busiest interstates in the country, they must pass a mandatory inspection.
"As a commercial vehicle comes through, he is required to stop at the facility's opening," explained Officer John Kearns, with the Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement.
Kentucky Vehicle Enforcement officials use an automated system to check these 18-wheelers for dangerous content.
"Anything from hazardous materials to nuclear ordinances going to Richmond," Officer Kearns added.
Homeland Security has provided the weigh station with radiological detectors which spot radiation leaking from trucks.
The station also has an infrared iris system that uses heat signals to monitor the semi's.
Officer Kearns said these tools have helped them catch contraband being brought into the state.
He added that having this equipment is extremely important with terrorist attacks always possible.
"The facility's been upgraded as a result of Homeland Security by implementing some of this new equipment--the new radiological detectors and the iris systems," Kearns continued.
The responsibility of protection doesn't only fall on the shoulders of KVE.
Kearns said the truck drivers also police the roads for any suspicious activity.
"These guys that run the same route over and over again, see and know the area that they travel in. When something's out of place, they have a tendency to pick out what's out of place and notify us," Kearns assured.
The Simpson County Weigh Station, just near the Tennessee state line, is the only commercial vehicle specialist in the state.
Kearns said KVE also has officers posted at other points of entry from Tennessee to Kentucky to monitor commercial trucks.

James Whitcomb Riley
Jim - Poem by James Whitcomb Riley
He was jes a plain ever'-day, all-round kind of a jour.,
Consumpted-Iookin'-- but la!
The jokeiest, wittiest, story-tellin', song-singin', laughin'est, jolliest
Feller you ever saw!
Worked at jes coarse work, but you kin bet he was fine enough in his talk,
And his feelin's too!
Lordy! Ef he was on'y back on his bench ag'in to-day, a- carryin' on
Like he ust to do!
Any shopmate'll tell you there never was, on top o' dirt,
A better feller'n Jim!
You want a favor, and couldn't git it anywheres else--
You could git it o' him!
Most free-heartedest man thataway in the world, I guess!
Give up ever' nickel he's worth--
And ef you'd a-wanted it, and named it to him, and it was his,
He'd a-give you the earth!
Allus a reachin' out, Jim was, and a-he'ppin' some
Pore feller onto his feet--
He'd a-never a-keered how hungry he was hisse'f,
So's the feller got somepin' to eat!
Didn't make no differ'nce at all to him how he was dressed,
He ust to say to me--,
'You togg out a tramp purty comfortable in winter-time, a huntin' a job,
And he'll git along!' says he.
Jim didn't have, ner never could git ahead, so overly much
O' this world's goods at a time--.
'Fore now I've saw him, more'n onc't, lend a dollar, and haf to, more'n
Turn round and borry a dime!
Mebby laugh and joke about it hisse'f fer awhile-- then jerk his coat,
And kindo' square his chin,
Tie on his apern, and squat hisse'f on his old shoe-bench,
And go to peggin' ag'in!
Patientest feller too, I reckon, 'at ever jes natchurly
Coughed hisse'f to death!
Long enough after his voice was lost he'd laugh in a whisper and say
He could git ever'thing but his breath--
'You fellers,' he'd sorto' twinkle his eyes and say,
'Is a-pilin' onto me
A mighty big debt fer that-air little weak-chested ghost o' mine to pack
Through all Eternity!'
Now there was a man 'at jes 'peared-like, to me,
'At ortn't a-never a-died!
'But death hain't a-showin' no favors,' the old boss said--
'On'y to Jim!' and cried:
And Wigger, who puts up the best sewed-work in the shop--
Er the whole blame neighborhood--,
He says, 'When God made Jim, I bet you He didn't do anything else that day
But jes set around and feel good!'

Pittsfield Police on Hunt for Mysterious 'G' Vandal
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Who or what is "G?"
An initial? A symbol for the number 7? An agent of the Men in Black? No one knows, but the random letter tag has been popping up around the city.
Police say the majority of the vandalism has not been directly reported, but the appearance of this graffiti on road signs, utility boxes, and both public and private buildings, has been noted by patrolling officers and members of the public for more than a month now.
The investigation to date has not shown the graffiti to be associated with any known national or local gangs, and no one has provided video surveillance to the department.
The tagging appears to be random and perpetrated by one individual. The tags also aren't hard to find - it took only a few minutes to track down a G image for this article.
Police would really like to speak with the mysterious G, so anyone with information on the vandalism can contact the department through the "Report a Tip" link.
Pittsfield Man Drowns In Pontoosuc Lake
Man Dies Following Assault at Pittsfield YMCA Apartments
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A 44-year-old man died Sunday after being assaulted in the apartments operated by the Pittsfield Family YMCA.
Joseph Wirtes, 44, was allegedly assaulted by Brian Signor at the apartments Sunday morning. Wirtes was transported to Berkshire Medical Center following the assault and was pronounced dead later that day.
Signor, 27, also of the YMCA's 292 North St. residence, was arraigned on Monday on a single count of aggravated assault and battery, according to the district attorney's office. He pleaded not guilty and is being held at the Berkshire County House of Correction on $50,000 cash or surety bail.
Further charges may be forthcoming, according to the DA, pending the results of an autopsy being conducted on Monday by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Holyoke.
FBI: MS-13 Member Arrested In Pittsfield
Pittsfield Police Officer Fired for Misconduct
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A Pittsfield police officer has been fired for "multiple misconduct charges."
Officer Dale Eason, a 20-year veteran of the force, had been on leave since May after a scuffle with an elderly woman in her home last year.
A terse press release from Chief Michael Wynn said Eason had been terminated on Wednesday after a "lengthy internal investigation and a local civil service hearing."
Eason had arrested Phyllis Stankiewicz, 88, after he and another officer entered her home after being sent to the wrong address for a disturbance. A confused Stankiewicz had allegedly threatened them with a small paring knife and, when disarmed, had slapped Eason on the wrist. Eason then put her on the ground and arrested her. All charges against Stankiewicz were dropped.
"The City of Pittsfield and the Pittsfield Police Department take any and all acts of police misconduct by our personnel extremely seriously. Service as a police officer requires a high degree of public trust. On those rare occasions, as is the case here, that trust is violated, severe sanctions must be imposed," said Wynn in the statement.

Tri Con Supports First Amendment "for Readers, Shops and Reviewers" at Auction
Dr. Frederick Werham's "Seduction of the Innocent" (1954) blamed society's ills on comic books. Now, he German shrink's research for the book has now been brought into ridicule. Examination of his "notes" have revealed that often his data had been mischaracterized.
The so-called "great comic book scare" led to the demise of stylish 50s horror and fantasy genre's published by E.C. Comics. Later, comic publishers such as D.C. imposed a code of "self regulation" to prevent the government from mandating rules for censorship of graphic compositions.
Wertham originally called the Blue Beetle (hero) 'Kafka for the kiddies' and branded Batman and Robin as "a wish dream of two homosexuals living together."
Films distributed in the US were already subject to a "code" to receive distribution. That's why certain films in the 20s and 30s depict mature subject matter. To prevent further imposition of film restriction, the Motion Picture Association of America created the now famous rating system that determines a film's suitability for a certain age group. His newly published notes actually state that the two men fantasized about heroes like Tarzan or the Sub-Mariner.
Tricon co-founder, Eric Watkins explained that the Huntington, WV convention, has a Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. The auction promotes free expression and First Amendment issues.
"We love what they do and love to be able to help them fight the good fight," Watkins said. Born in Belpre, Ohio, he has written "Chosen," "Forsaken" and "Night of the Living Trion" with coming entries like "The Man in the Kitty Coat" and "Mars and the Cowboy's Gauntlet" on the way. Incidentally, his favorite films are "Step Brothers," "Zombieland" and any World War II production.
Specifically, Watkins cited a recent case "where a comic shop owner was sued over a kid picking up a book his parents didn't like during a FCBD. They help people who have been sued or arrested for the types of comics and graphic novels they read," such as readers, reviewers and shop owners. "
Referring to the blame games of art initiating violence, Watkins said, "I think people like to find someone to blame for violence. I've watched horror slasher movies, played obscene games , read and wrote some crazy awful stuff and I don't want to re-enact any of it," the Broken Icon Comic director of operations said.
"Some people just can't control themselves and society wants something to blame. I don't blame comics, movies, games or the internet. I blame people," Watkins said.

I Vampiri: Notte a Cavalla by strangeling
Copyright Notice:
This image copyright © 2010.
Artwork Description
The fourth in my series of paintings called "I Vampiri " (which is Italian for The Vampires) - a new line of paintings that feature vampire beauties inspired by Italian Baroque & Italian Renaissance themes and aesthetics (many of which I have been hired to create for my upcoming Vampire Tarot/Oracle Deck). This fourth painting is called "I Vampiri: Notte a Cavalla" (or Cavallo) - which words literally translate into means "Night Riding" or "Night Mare" in Italian - pun intended!. I really enjoyed painting this one! I love horses and thought I'd incorporate one into a vampire painting, so I had to think about what sort of horse a vampiress would ride. This mysterious white/silvery beast seems to glow from within - rather unearthly! Her hooves appear to glow red as well. You can see a little horse skull in the corner of the piece, just for good measure. The Vampire herself is quite lovely, with a jeweled outfit that looks difficult to ride in. My own original acrylic painting.

April 8th Day of Action
April of this year marks 47 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered while conducting a national campaign against economic inequality. Since then, the gap between the top one percent wealthiest and the rest of Americans has widened. On April 8, 2015, Robin Hood tax supporters will be holding vigils at congressional offices across the country to demand that Congress pass the Robin Hood Tax on Wall Street — the only real cure to the illness of rampant economic inequality. Please join us!
Events are taking place in: California, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Ohio, and Texas

Turn on the Water, DETROIT! Tax Wall Street!
Registered Nurses declared a public health and humanitarian emergency related to the massive and unprecedented water shutoff occurring in Detroit. Nurses, Detroit residents, clergy, labor, environmentalists, Netroots Nation opinion leaders and many others marched and rallied to condemn this most basic violation of human rights. 300,000 people are slated for water shutoff. Thousands are already suffering with turned off taps. No water for cooking, drinking, bathing, nor essential sanitation and human waste disposal. RNs highlighted the massive health risks associated with lack of water. In addition, the banks are tearing families apart. Children are being forcibly taken from parents whose water is turned off. Many of those parents owe as little as $150 on water bills.
It is well established that banks created the financial collapse in Detroit through tactics ranging from predatory lending to the manipulation of "interest rate swap" markets. Detroit's "bad bets" were engineered by Wall Street and have cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars in dubious payouts to the banks – including a recent $85 million payment to two banks – BofA and UBS – that are heavily implicated in the financial ruin of Detroit. That $85 million dollars flushed down Wall Street's toilet is roughly the same amount that water customers owe in back payments. Let's tax Wall Street, get our money back and turn on the water!

April 4, 2014 marked 46 years since Martin Luther King, Jr. was assissinated while conducting a national campaign against economic inequality. In the nearly half a century that has passed, the gap between the top 1% wealthiest and the rest of Americans has only widened.
On April 4th, RNs and our allies held vigils at congressional offices across the country to demand that congress pass the Robin Hood Tax – the only real cure to the illness of rampant economic inequality.
H.R. 1579, the Inclusive Prosperity Act sponsored by Rep. Keith Ellison, contains a tiny tax on Wall Street's speculative trades, which would raise up to $350 billion dollars a year to fund permanent living wage jobs rebuilding our nation's infrastructure, creating a green energy manufacturing boom, providing quality education for all of our children, greatly expanding mass transit, guaranteed healthcare for all and in serving many other human and environmental needs. The Robin Hood Tax would also provide Americans with retirement and housing security. All of that would go a long way toward healing our nation's obscene wealth and income inequality while honoring the struggle that Dr. King gave his life for.

Salsa De Soul Last Class Series of the Year - Begins November 5
Dear Dancers,
We have successfully completed three class series, and I intended to stop until next year. But, by popular demand, we will be doing one last series of the year starting Tuesday, November 5. We have also added an intermediate level or level two class. This class will allow those who have begun to still continue their growth as dancers. In order to accommodate both classes (beginners and intermediates) we have two separate times and I have other instructors to assist me; although I will be the lead instructor for both classes. Having other instructors, makes it possible to give lots of individual attention. We want you to truly "get it."
The revised schedule is:
6:15 p.m - 7:15 pm. The beginner's class - Level 1
7:15 pm. - 8:15 pm. Advanced Beginner/Intermediate Level
Class Dates:
Tuesdays: Nov. 5, Nov 12, Nov19 Thanksgiving break, December 1 and December 8.
Level 2 dancers should be able to comfortable do a cross body lead with inside turn. That means, leaders should be able to properly lead such a turn, and followers should be able to properly follow the lead, and maintain their balance while doing the turn.
Level 2 will focus on musicality, footwork, partnership work with some patterns, proper leading, proper following; men and women's styling; and comfort with some of the styles of salsa such as Cuban, Africando, and Colombian.
As with all the levels, we will focus on connection; connection with yourself first (being fully present), with your partner, and with the music.
We will focus on how to interpret the music, create your own dance, and find your personal style or signature... your dance voice.
As a former professional musician and artist, I hope to give you a perspective on the dance, a window through which you can see the music in a way that most people miss.
While we come to the class with a teaching plan, we will make adjustments in accordance with who are the students in the class. We move at a pace that works for our students.
Also, if you start in level 1 and find you are better prepared than you thought, you can move to level 2 (at least within the first two weeks of the course).
In like fashion, if you find that level 2 is more than you bargain for, you can move to level 1 to firm up your foundation, so that you are not just taking a course, you are mastering the essential elements of the course..
As many of you know, I have had the pleasure and great honor
to be the Latin dance instructor at LaTorres, Cosmos, RiRas, Salamander at
Morehead Café, Center Vibe (now Move Studio), the International House, A Piece
of Havana, at numerous Universities, restaurants, festivals, and in places all
along the East Coast, Puerto Rico, even in the Midwest. I have been blessed to have instructors from
Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Chile, El Salvador, Argentina, Venezuela,
Colombia, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and of course many from the United States. It
has been a journey for which I am eternally grateful.
While I have been a performer and a competitor, my first
love besides just doing the dance with people who share a passion for the dance,
is teaching. I was born to teach. I served as a university professor for most
of my working life. I love to teach, especially beginners, for the gift of
dance is such a great gift, and it transforms one's life.
I also love teaching those who already know how to dance
well, for I love to help them find their own voice in the dance. Let me be more specific.
You can often tell where someone has studied because they
dance like their teachers. This is not a bad thing. But, in my view, while I
hope you will find in my dancing something you want to imitate or model in your
dancing, what is more important to me is that
I help you to find your voice, your style, your personal expression.
How do we do this?
First you learn it, then you master it, then you make it
beautiful? These were the words, the
mantra from my Kung Fu Wu Su teacher in New York City, where I studied Shaolin
Kung Fu Wu Su. Learning it requires
being receptive. Mastering it requires understanding what you are learning and
practicing it until it is second nature. Meaning, you don't have to think about
it. You just do it. Like walking; you have mastered it, so much so that you
don't think about walking, you just walk to where you want to go. And making it
beautiful, that is where you make it beautiful to the eye, where the one looking at what you do, would say you make
it look so easy and graceful; so beautiful . That means you have made you stamp
on the dance; you have found your voice, your personal self-expression.
That is our goal, to make your body your instrument, so you
can play your music. Remember when you
get a musical instrument it is called an instrument. But, it is not an
instrument until you master it, then it is an instrument by which you can bring
forth your music.
That is what we are after with Salsa De Soul. When you see it, making it beautiful to me,
means making it look smooth (which is just part of the "cool" family). And when
you see two people doing it together, you will say that look so connected,
their dance so romantic, and they appear to love what they are doing and lost
in their own world. You will say their steps and movements are so clear, and they seem magical;
captivating, so ALIVE.
We meet at the Abundant Life studio which is near the corner of East and South Boulevard in the Southend area of Charlotte near Downtown and Dilworth area. When you come to the corner of East and South, go west one block on east, and that will bring you to the corner of East and Camden Road. Our building is on the corner, but drive across Camden and enter the driveway on your left immediately behind the building; it will be labeled the Design Center. Turn in there and come around to your left and park behind the building. You will see our sign on the door, and come on up to our Suite 203.
The price of the classes are $15 per class. If you enroll and pay for the entire course of 5 classes, you can save $15.00 as the cost of the entire course will be $60.00.
Looking forward to seeing you in class,
"the Professor, the Cat in the Hat"

Over the last years Dawson Creek, in British Columbia, Canada, has moved from its traditional reliance on farming and ranching to benefit from an oil and gas boom. Around 50 kilometres (30 miles) away, for example, a major resource of natural gas lies underground at Shell's Groundbirch project. To tap it, Shell engineers planned to drill many new wells. But this would require a lot of water. In an area prone to water shortages, they needed to avoid drawing on fresh water.
Shell teamed up with the City Council in a special agreement to build a waste-water plant at the local sewage treatment area.
The plant uses man-made technology and natural bacteria to help clean up water that would otherwise be discharged into a local river.
Some of the treated water is reserved for the City – to irrigate public parks and sport fields, for example.
A large volume is delivered through a 48-kilometre (29-mile) pipeline to the Groundbirch gas field, where it is pumped at high pressure into wells to help release natural gas.
The pipeline reduces the need for tanker trucks, cutting down on noise and dust and making roads safer. Recently, the City has also begun supplying treated water to other operators in the area, resulting in greater operational sustainability and improved environmental outcome for our industry as a whole.

Chapter 1 : Laid in Earth
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 6
Background: Font color:
Laid in Earth
When I am laid, am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me! but ah! forget my fate.
--From Henry Purcell's "When I am Laid in Earth"
He did not expect to see her there, there of all places. At his father's funeral. Perhaps in passing one day, he would catch only the whisper of her red hair in Diagon Alley. Or see her as a ghost that haunted the perpetual puddles that corrupted the lanes of Spinner's End. Or see her, always, forever, at night, when he did not dream save for the empty, possessed thoughts between the wakeful and sleep.
But she came to his father's funeral. A man she had not known. A son she said she hated. And that James Potter wasn't with her, as he had been at their graduation from Hogwarts last month, as he had been when they boarded the scarlet train for the last time and Lily disappeared into his compartment.
Snape had heard that Potter had proposed to her that day, and yet now he saw no ring on her finger. Her hands were mercifully bare. Ivory when the sun hit them, because the day of his father's funeral was bright.
Black coats and veiled hats smudged the world like charcoal. And in the tiny corner of the cemetery, an uneasy truce was struck between the living and the dead.
The shift from light to dark was sadder to him than the death of his father, a man who rarely set foot in his own house except to steal money from his wife's purse. Unlike most of the mourners, Snape did not cry at Tobias's funeral.
And neither did Lily. But she was in mourning.
When his father was locked in a cheap, plywood casket and lowered into the earth, Snape became the scornful son. He looked across the grave and in the solemnity of the moment, he found Lily's face.
She did not flinch from his gaze.
But she did arch her right eyebrow. The expression was thoroughly uncanny, quite like the one she wore when they were children still. An expression that had faded when she went to Hogwarts and sat at the Gryffindor table and smiled keenly instead of just raising her eyebrows.
Snape had waited years to see that look again and now he had it, across the grave at his father's funeral.
And then it was over. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Snape could already hear the churning of shovels in the soil. The mourners filed out of the cemetery.
On the winding paths that led to the turn of the century gates, Muggles unwittingly mixed company with wizards. It made for a parade of uncertain ceremony, Snape decided. He waited back by the gate, pretending to shake hands, to accept the comfort so freely given without consequence and thought to the actual depth of grief. He waited until the last elderly couple filed out and then Lily was behind them.
When she shook Snape's hand, reassurance swept through him as a tidal wave and he drowned in it. She was not wearing a ring.
Lily did not tell him that she was sorry for his loss. She knew that he hated his father and she knew that he wouldn't cry because he couldn't. Snape never cried.
Instead, she said, "You need to go help your mother, Sev."
He looked over his shoulder and saw her on the arm of her brother-in-law. Eileen Prince-Snape was a marble statue of a woman, a shell, perhaps, housing vital organs and blood, but not life.
And he had Lily standing beside him. Lily Evans who lived and breathed and had come to his father's funeral.
"I heard James Potter proposed to you on the last day of school," he said. Snape had always been bold and he admired himself for it. It was a quiet gift he could to give himself, praise for a well-turned phrase or solid sentiment.
Lily did not seem to notice. "We're too young to get married," she replied. But her answer left him uncertain.
For the first and only time in his life, Severus Snape did not trust her. "That's smart of you," he told her. "You were always sensible, Lily." He wanted to touch her on the shoulder, but did not.
Restraint was another gift he possessed. Denial. And the pain still cut into him. Deep. Deep. Where he could bury it.
But he could not disguise his curiosity.
"Why did you come?" he asked her.
She squared her hips. They were standing on uneven ground, the cobblestone path having been misused for years, trod on by foot and hoof and wagon wheel. Snape wondered if she was uncomfortable in her high heels. Lily had never dressed like that before she started dating Potter.
Snape had never asked her to.
"You didn't come to pay your respects," he continued. She had not known his father. Had only heard stories. Had seen him passing under the window of her house when he went to work in the mornings. But she did not know him.
She only knew Snape…or she had.
To his surprise, Lily smiled. "I know you would have done the same for me, Sev."
"But you wouldn't want me to."
There was hurt in her eyes. Fresh. And Snape realized suddenly that he had wounded her. Reproach darkened his mind and soul and left him standing in the baking sun, sweating in his black coat and wishing, perhaps, that he were dead.
"I'm sorry, Sev," Lily said suddenly. She was businesslike. Indifferent. Using the same tone of voice and manner that she employed to dispose of James Potter, when he was still just an annoying prat and not her boyfriend. Not the man she loved.
Her words were slow and rhythmic. They were strings plucked on a baroque guitar accompanied by the swaying tremolo of her resolve. She was faltering, being near him. Here, at his father's funeral.
"I have to go," she said. And then she touched his wrist. Once. Her right eyebrow danced up her forehead. "Goodbye, Sev."
He let her go. And a week later, he saw the announcement in the Prophet. Lily Evans and James Potter. Engaged to be married.
Snape wasn't sure if he hated her for it or not. She had lied to him, but she had also tried to save him.
But even Lily Evans couldn't save the soulless.
After her wedding and after he had joined the Death Eaters and become a traitor and a spy and bound for the Ninth Circle of Hell, Snape would remember the last time he saw her alive. At his father's funeral. Across the grave of a hated man.
And that day, amongst the dead and damned, he had found heaven, as it would only ever exist for him.
Author's Note: This one-shot was written for Round 3 of the TGS Writathon. I've always wanted to write a Snape/Lily story, although this piece turned out to be much more over-the-top than I expected. As always, if you have a free moment, please leave a review. I would love to hear from you.

ALAMEDA COUNTY | Aside from Oakland Councilmember Desley Brooks' remarks regarding racism last week, many of the region's elected black officials have stood in the background as protesters demonstrate on the streets of Oakland and Berkeley on almost a daily basis following national attention on police brutality against blacks. This may be changing.
Alameda County Supervisor Keith Carson is leading an effort to allow members of the community to vent their frustrations following non-indictments against white police officers who killed black men alleged of crimes in Ferguson, Mo. and New York City. Cases of police brutality have also occurred in the Bay Area over the years adding a strong local link to the anger felt all over the country.
Members of the public can participate in the town hall this Wednesday being called "A community meeting with elected officials and community leaders on solving the strained relationship between law enforcement and our communities."
The event is Dec. 17 and begins at 7 p.m. at Beebe Memorial Cathedral, 3900 Telegraph Ave, Oakland.

Black elected officials, faith leaders to hold town hall on police relations

Would be great if Black elected officials would pursue agendas consistent with their constituents desires. I have never voted for a pastor and we are not in Alabama. Many people in the black community here are not into church and the electeds should respect that. Who needs to vent. Heck we need to vote.ReplyDelete

Alameda's now-former African-American mayor was apparently asked multiple times to comment, and refused.ReplyDelete
Her response seems to have been to add a uniformed police officer to city council meetings.

By Lem Satterfield
When southpaw Robert Guerrero was preparing for his August, 2009, IBF super featherweight title bout against Malcolm Klassen, he spent some time sparring with Shane Mosley, who was coming off of a January, 2009, ninth-round knockout that dethroned Antonio Margarito as WBA super world welterweight champion.
The two fighters were in Mosley's quarters in the Big Bear Lakes of California, and Mosley was giving Guerrero advice, such as "give the guy constant movement," and, "use your height to your advantage."
"Robert and I are friends, and we talk every once and a while about life and boxing," said Mosley. "Robert spent some time with me in Big Bear, and I gave him a few pointers."
Guerrero took Mosley's advice and easily defeated Klassen by unanimous decision, 116-113, 116-112, and, 117-111, for the IBF's 130-pound belt.
Now a newly-crowned southpaw WBA and WBO interim lightweight titlist, the 5-foot-9, 28-year-old Guerrero (29-1-1, 18 knockouts) earned his 13th straight victory with last month's uanimous decision over 30-year-old Mike Katsidis (27-4, 22 KOs).
Guerrero told BoxingScene.com recently that he is picking the five-time titlist Mosley to pull a major upset by dethroning 32-year-old, eight-division king, Manny Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) as WBO welterweight champion when they meet on May 7 at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas.
Mosley, of course, agrees with Guerrero.
"Robert and I did so some sparring," said Mosley. "So Robert is speaking from experience when he says I have what it takes to win."
Nearly three weeks ago, BoxingScene.com spoke to 10 of the sport's insiders concerning whom they believed would win the April 16 clash betwen then-WBC king Andre Berto and rising southpaw, former junior welterweight, Victor Ortiz.
Ortiz (29-2-2, 22 KOs) dethroned Berto (27-1 21 KOs) by unanimous decision in over the course of a 12-round, multiple-knockdown drag out brawl. In victory, the 24-year-old Ortiz rose to 5-0-1, with three knockouts since being stopped by in the sixth round in June of 2009 by WBA interim titlist Marcos Rene Maidana (29-2, 27 KOs), who was dropped three times during a bout in which Ortiz hit the canvas twice.
Guerrero was the lone panel member of the 10 to select Ortiz, who was coming off of a 10-round, majority draw opposite the 27-year-old Lamont Peterson (28-1-1, 14 KOs), despite having floored Peterson twice in the third round.
Now, Guerrero is picking Mosley.
"I've got to go with Shane Mosley. Me and Shane Mosley are good friends, and I know that he's up there in Big Bear training really hard. This is Mosley's big opportunity to get back on top, and I just see him doing that. You know, I just like Shane Mosley," said Guerrero.
"You know, he's a good fighter and we're good friends and I know how hard he works. And I think that he's out there in Big Bear getting ready, and I have to go with Shane in this one. There's always that one last fight in that old dog, and Shane Mosley is one of the guys that surprises everybody all of the time," said Guerrero.
"Everybody thought that he was shot before he knocked out Antonio Margarito, and he came out just explosive. I just feel that he's going to come out the same way -- very explosive and hungry and ready to go," said Guerrero. "You know, Manny Pacquiao is fast, and he hits hard, and uses his legs to get in and out. But I think that Mosley has great timing and a great jab, and that's what stops all of that."
A two-time IBF featherweight and one-time IBF super featherweight champion, Guerrero became the interim WBA and interm WBO crowns by vanquishing Katsidis, meaning that he is the mandatory challenger to both 37-year-old WBO and WBA king, Juan Manuel Marquez (52-5-1, 38 KOs), who rose from a third-round knockdown to stop Katsidis in the ninth round of their November bout.

|15.04.2013 - Europe: Back to the dark ages
|Coal's golden renaissance ... While coal use in electricity generation has dwindled in the United States, it has been staging a quiet comeback in Europe.
