Bill Sajs Politeness Costs Nothing mid
Pa*a \VaI1
Atlanta Constitution.
Politeness costs nothing and pays
well. Whetlier it is natural or artificial,
it always makes an agreeable impres
sion. The oldtime negroes are yet tho
politest people I know, but they have
nearly all passed away. There are two
that we meet or pass almost every day,
and they are favorites with my folks
because they bow humbly aud give the
sidewalk with alacrity. One of theni
goes bent with age and deformity. His
body is ucnrly at a right angle to his
legs. He is set just right for digging a
ditch or chopping wood aud makes a
fair living at it, for he is no beggar and
says he loves to work when he is well.
Sometimes I drop a dime in his tremb
ling hand, and he always says "God
bless you, massa; you is a gomiucu,
sir." His gratitude and his compliment
always reward me. The other day I
overtook him as he was struggling
along aud, as usual, lie shunted to the
edge of tho sidewalk to let me pass.
I did if t have a dime, hut a half-dollar
came into my hand. Out of mischief I
said: "Uncle Jordan, didn't you drop
this money back there on the sidewalk?'
"No, sir; no, massa. I knows I didn't.
for bless God, I didn't have no money
like dat. Ijes had two uiekles, sir,
and Ise got dem yet. I was jes gwine
to Mr. Stanford's, sir, to buy some
bread for Sunday.'' "I reckon you
must have dropped,this money," snid I,
"but if you didn't, you had better take
it. You will want some meat to go
with tho bread." His old gray head,
his bent form, his astonishment made
a picture. I would give a dollar for it
in photo. I looked back at him and he
hadn't moved. He hadn't taken it all
in and scorned afraid lest it was a trick
to get him iuto trouble. That old ne
gro carries me back to the days of my
boyhood, when I went to school with
his young master, Roddy Gresham, at
the Manual Labor school in old Gwin
nett. The G r?sinons were good peo
ple, and old Jordan was happy until
freedom came. Nobody cares for him
now, save charity?the charity of the
old-time white folks. It has always
seemed strange to me that negroes
were so indifferent to the poor and
afflicted of their own race. They will
bury them with great satisfaction and
ceremony. They will hire the finest
hearse and carriages and buy a coifin
with silver handles and have a dress
parade and weep and wail at the p;ave,
but that is all.
The other negro whom wc pars and
repass is a curiosity in his way. He is
love crazy?as crazy and as devoted as
Shakespeare's Orlando, who wandered
about carving the name of his love on
the bark of the beech trees. This darky
flame is a cook for one of our neigh
bors, and she will not notice him. In
fact, she hides from him. Day after
day he walks past the house to and fro
all the day long hoping to get a glimpse
of her ebony face. The corner of my
garden overlooks the backyard of this
neighbor and there he comes aud stands
and poses iu despondent attitudes. It
would be romantic and pathetic if it
were not so ridiculous, for he goes dirty
itUU rtigg?u and is nun iai Ugly. But he
is always humble and polite and that
will give favor and a friend even to a
vagabond. These old-time; negroes
will soon be the missing link between
the slave and his master. Shuck foot
mats and horse collars and baskets and
brooms have already gone. The new
Bet have neither good manners nor po
liteness. Education and the ballot
have alienated them. Our children
and the children of the old slaves have
no common bond to bind them, and the
animosity between them deepens and
broadens as the years roll on. I reckou
it is time to separate, but how is it to
be done and who is to do it ? Of course
these good old negroes will not wish to
go, and it would be cruel to force them.
I remember when the Creeks and Cher
okee s were forced to go and how some
of the old Indians were left behind. I
remember old Sa why on Sawny moun
tain near Cumining, and how his old
wife and four of his grandchildren
were allowed to stay with him. When
the old folks died these grandchildren
followed the tribe. But, of course,
force is not to be used with the ne
groes, and it is not certain that any
considerable number will go. Bishop
Turner says they will, Booker Wash
ington says they will not. One negro
paper in Atlanta professes to be in
favor of going. The other is opposed
to it. Then? exodus is yet afar off, for
Congress will not vote a dollar to it,
but if their ballot is eliminated maybe
we can got along in peace. Suppose
we try it. White primaries should be
the watchword in every town- and
county, and then wo can elect legisla
tors and municipal officers who are not
afraid of the negro. As it is now,
neither onr law makers nor our mayors
or marshals will do their duty for fear
of offending the negro and losing &s
-vote. Dirty, odoriferous negro men
and boys not give the sidewalk to white
ladies on one of onr business streets!
There is a regular den. on another
street that leads to two churches and
all the negro vagrants of the town
gather there and as many as possible
stick their feet or their posteriors on
the railing of the piazza and spit to
bacco juice on the sidewalk to the dis
gust and annoyance of tbe ladies who
have to pass there. The ladies have
complained time and axaiu, but this
den can't be abolished while the negro
has a vote. When the trains arrive
our Indies can hardly ?rot on or oft' for
the negro brigade. There iR a down
on one .oi our business streets and are
always in the way. As the Constitu
tion said recently in a well considered
article, we must have white primaries,
not partisan, but white, to purge the
towns of negro indolence and negro in
solence. They must be eliminated
from the polls just as they have been
in Atlanta. The dens must be broken
up, the sidewalks kept clear tor ladies
and thepasswaysto and from the trains
unobstructed. Hen. Franklin said that
idleness was the parent of vice and
crime. The young bucks who congre
gate at this den arc either living off of
some hard-working man or son?e cook
or washerwoman, or they tiro stealing
from somebody. Every vagrantsliould
be arrested and put to work or wo will
soon hear of some outrage and have
another lynching. These are perilous
times. The old devil seems to be un
chained- and is going to and fro upon
the earth and walking up and down in
it. The daily papers are full of crimes.
White and black seem demoralized,
and we arc getting hardened to the
sinful and bloody calendar that every
dnv meets our eyes. When will this
thing stop? I started to write a little
essay on politeness. The lack of it
among our young white men is pain
fully observant. Last week, when
the day wns hot and the dust was*
deep, a young man with his best girl
dashed by two of our ladies in n buggy
and almost stifled them with dust.
They had to stop, for they could not
sec. He made no apology nor said
please excuse me, and yet he was from
a neighboring city and Polis means a
city and politeness comes from Polis.
Not long ago I was eomiugfrom Atlan
ta and a Marietta man who sat behind
me elevated his dirty shoes to the top
of the back of ray seat and kept them
there within six inches of my head
while he gassed away to his companion
until the cars reached his town. I
looked daggers at him, but it did no
good. I leaned as far away as I could,
and felt like treating him like I did a
cowboy once in Texas. The cowboy
stuck Iiis big boots and spurs on the
back of my seat and I deliberately got
up and?went over on the other side.
I would have doue this tough, ill-man
nered rough the same way, but the
seats were all full. Young men eau
show their breeding any where?in the
cars or at church or at the postoffice
while waiting for the mail to be opened.
A true gentleman will lire and fall
back and . while waiting for his mail
give somebody else a chance to look
into their box, but a sellish, ill-bred
man won't. He will stand up close and
cover half a dozen boxes and peep
through the glass at the postmaster
until he gets his own. The best man
nered man at the postofiice in our town
is the oldest. There are a few well
raised lads in our town whom it is
always a pleasure to meet. They make
a gentle now and tip the hat and smile
a pleasant greeting. There was a rich
old bachelor who died in Jefferson some
years ago, and he left $10,000 to a poor
young woman because, as he said in
his will, "She always gave me a pleas
ant smile when she met rae.'r The
Irish, as a race, are naturally polite.
"Pat," said a good lady, "you passed
me on the street yesterday ami never
even looked at me." "Ah, me sweet
lady, I was in a great hurry and I knew
that if i looked at ye I couldn't pass
you." My good father was an old-time
schoolmaster iu the days when man
ners and morals were taught as well as
books. The first day of his employ
ment down in Liberty county he made
the boys and girls a talk, and said the
boys must make a respectful bow' and
the girls a courtesy to him before they
took their scats in the morning. All
complied pleasantly except the biggest
boy in school, who said he hedogond if
he was gwine to make a bow to any
body. Father gave him a talk next
day, but it did no good, and two other
boys quit bowing. That evening at
the close of school father told him to
wait a few minutes. Ho reluctantly
waited. After the other scholars had
all gone out father closed the door and
told him he had either to bow or take
a whipping or quit the school. He
studied awhile and said: "I'll bedurned
if I'll do either." Then the row began,
and lasted quite awhile. They were
pretty equally matched. They fought
all over the benches and under them
and turned over the water bucket and
raised a mighty commotion, but the
hickory was going all the time and all
the outside scholars were peeping
through the cracks of the log school
house. After a long struggle the boy
save :ip and bellered his way home.
That ?vas the end of all rebellions in
that school, and my father's reputation
as a teacher was established.
"As polite as a Frenchman" has
grown into a proverb. The whole na
tion is polite, men, women and chil
dren. It is chiefly artificial, for it is
taught in the schools; but it is pleasing
and seems to be sincere. In Mexico
the politeness of the higher classes is
painful. When two persons meet at
the hotel door one will decline to go in
first and the other will decline in like
manner and it takes a minute or more
for the question of precedence to be
In England the courtesies of social
intercourse are never forgotten; no,
not even in a quarrel. Two English
men had a bitter quarrel here in our
town while I was present, and each
addressed the other as "my doar friend"
and "pray excuse me" all the time they
were quarreling. But still that was
better than our American style of "you
are an infernal liar" and "you are an
other" and then a blow or a shooting
scrape. Englishmen quarrel, but they
never fight. Americans fight but rare
ly quarrel. With them it is a word
and a blow, or what is worse, a ball
from a pistol drawn from the hip
pocket. I have no respect 10? a man
who habitually carries a pistol. He is

Bditors Intei.i.iokncku : It will no
doubt sound st rs m ce to ut Ont oi'vour
readers to hear a man say that he is
sleeping under two quilts and a blanket,
but so I am doing nevertheless. North
held is situated iu the Connecticut
Valley on the northern boundary of
Massachusetts. Nearby on one hand
are the Green Mountains of Vermont
and on the other the White Mountains
of New Hampshire. The country is
limestone and the Kentucky bine grass,
timothy and other grasses seem to grow
spontaneously and luxuriantly as if
indigenous to the soil, and all the lace
of the earth is green from the grass,
trees and growing corn. The town of
Nortbtield sits on the hip of the bills,
or mountains, I know not what term to
use, on tbe east side of (lie Connecti
cut river. It was founded ill HW*, aud
has 3,000 population. There uro tluee
churches and a public library. It is
not a business town but a town of
.homes and of beauty. The people
seem to lake an interest iu preserving
the history of the plaee. Von will read
on huge granite monuments here and
there as you walk about the plaee:
"Here on this lot was built a poop iu
t<??" (?) "Here under a spreading oak
was held the first public religious ser
vice in 10?" (?) "Hern James Dickin
son and William Hamilton, a compan
ion of Dickinson, wore murdered and
scalped by the Indians in 17-47.*'
1'erhaps the most important feature
of Nortbtield to-day is its schools.
Here in East Northlield, where the
Convention is being held, is the Semi
nary for girls. This school has in at
tendance 450 students. < Ivor the river
on the west side is Mount Hennon, the
boys' school, with about 450. The
schools are, iu the features of their
work, Cleiu8on and Winthrop. North
lield has Clemsoii on one side and
Winthrop on the other. Here in the
seven or eight separate brick and stone
halls of the Seminary and in numerous
tents stretched on tbe grecu tields and
in the fringe of the woods the visitors
to the Convention are lodged, and in
three scpernte buildings they are fed.
These schools hove been built by the
influence aud'energy of Mr. Moody.
The different buildings of each are in
large measure the private gifts of indi
vidual men. They stand hero silent
testimonials to the willingness of some
Christian men of wealth to give their
money when they are satisfied it will
be usefully and successfully employed.
The meetings of the Convention are
held here in a large Auditorium, built
by order of the Convention and paid
for by the same from yenr to year. The
Auditorium will seat about O.OOO peo
ple and I judge is about 3-8 or "5-0 full
at each meeting. There are three
meetings a <1?iy at the Auditorium and
ouc open air meeting ou "Round Top"
at G-MO p. m. The attenduncc at the
Conference includes all ages and al
most all names of people?pastors, mis
sionaries, teachers, and Christian work
ers of all descriptions and from sill
parts of the country. The South is
largely represented here, especially
Georgia. Your correspondent has been
pleased to meet here Dr. and Mrs.
Osburn, from Columbia, and Dr.
Hrougliton, from Atlanta. I had the
pleasure, personally to congratulate
Broughton on the complete neos of his
victory in Atlanta.
The principal speakers of the Con
ference are V. B. Meyer and Campbell
Morgan, of London, and Sidney A. Syl
wyn, of Bournemouth, Eng., and H. A.
Lorrey, of Chicago. Meyer is a Bap
tist, Morgan is a Congregationalist,
Sylwyn is Church of England and Loi
rey Presbyterian. Meyer and Morgan
are princes in pulpit work. Morgan is
a master preacher aud Meyer is a mas
ter of both preaching and teaching.
All the meetings are presided over by
Mr. Moody. "He is monarch of all he
surveys" around Northfield. This is
the home of Moody and Sankey, and
Northfield is Moody, and Moody is
Nortbtield? E verybody does willingly
what Moody says. He is a born gene

Yankee in bluntness, practicability and
common sense. The singing is led by j
a choir of about 200 voices, which is I
itself led by Ira I). Sankey and George
C. Stebbins. The meetings are "In j
demonstration of the Spirit and power."
The air is surcharged with Spirituality,

The people of Klberton are making
grand preparations for the Carnival
nexl week. Everybody in Anderson
County that ?-an possibly leave home
ought to go. There will be diversions
suitable to all. old ami young, of both
sexes. Among other entertainments
, there will be hoist- racing on a splen
did new track, bicycle races, pigeon
shooting on the wing, theatrical per
formances in the splendid new Opera
House, dancing every night in the J
beautiful and comfortable dancing pa
vilion at the Vauduser park and spring,
with splendid bunds of music, &re., &c.
In fact, there will be every diversion
usually met with in such places. The
people of Klberton are making prepar
ations to entertain all that come, and
then* are no people tiny where more ca
pable of making their guests feel at
home. I have never, in all my travels,
met with a community more intelli
gent, sociable ami hospitable than the
people of Klberton. The town and
country adjacent is still tilled with wor

families that first settled the coun

Whites, Brewers, Harpers, Vandusers,
Deadwylers, Adams. Greens and many
others that I cannot think of. 1 called
on Col. Hester, and at the request of a
friend, Mrs. Hester, who is one of the
most refined ami elegant ladies I have
ever met. showed me. among other
relics, a splendid silk dress and shoes
in which her grandmother, Lady Tem
ple, had danced with the Marquis La
fayette, at the ball given to him on his
visit to Columbia, in 182."?. The shoes
are prunella pumps, with French heels
and pointed toes, just like the present
style. They are made of sky-blue satin
embroidered with gold to match the
dress. She also showed me a plate,
cup and saucer that Washington used
and a great many other relics of Colo
nial times, including letters of Wash
ington, Lafayette, Aaron Bui rand oth
er celebrities. Among other books and
due i un cut s I noticed a large, finely
bound volume printed in Latin, in the
sixteenth century, belonging to David
Garrick, the actor, and friend of Dr.
Johnson, and presented by him to Sir
Win. Temple, the ancestor of Mrs.
Hester. Mis. Hester does not ostenta
tiously obtrude these things on the no
tice of hor visitois. It was only acci
dental and at the request of a friend
that 1 got to see them. Mrs. Hester,
among other accomplishments, is a

Warning over deadline for possible criminal probes into Tory election spending
A watchdog is pressing police and prosecutors to ensure they do not run out of time to launch possible criminal investigations into Conservative 2015 general election spending.
Tories face claims accommodation costs of activists bussed around the country to campaign in key constituencies should have been recorded under individual candidates' limits rather than as part of the national campaign.
The Electoral Commission believes its ongoing probe into alleged breaches of reporting obligations will take at least another month - past the one-year time limit for launching criminal proceedings.
It is meeting with police forces covering the constituencies involved and the Crown Prosecution Service on May 4 to ask them to seek an extension to ensure the door is not closed.
Claims about the Conservatives' general election spending - as well as that at three parliamentary by-elections - were first raised by Channel 4 News.
The party blames an "administrative error" for failing to register some accommodation costs.
But David Cameron insists it was right to include such expenditure as part of the national campaign rather than against the limits imposed on individual candidates.
Bob Posner, director of party and election finance and legal counsel at the Electoral Commission said: "The police and the CPS both have the power to apply to the courts to extend the time limit on bringing criminal prosecutions for electoral offences to allow for full investigations to take place. We have requested that they consider doing this."
The commission said it did not take any view as to whether the party should be pursued under the Representation of the People Act (RPA) 1983, which regulates candidate spending.
But if no extension is sought, the ability to do so will expire a year after the submission of returns - which had to be with the Electoral Commission within 35 days of the election on May 7 2015.
An extension can be sought by the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Making a false declaration in relation to candidate spending carries a punishment of up to a year in jail and / or an unlimited fine - and anyone found guilty is barred from standing for election as an MP or holding elected office for three years.
No police investigation has yet been launched but the commission said it seemed "sensible for the criminal justice agencies to retain the ability to take action should appropriate evidence come to light as part of the commission's own investigation".
Devon and Cornwall Police said: "Following the Channel 4 News programme aired on the April 20 and 21 and their report on electoral spending, we have received a very small number of allegations and inquiries are continuing.
"Devon and Cornwall Police, plus representatives from other forces in which constituencies are believed to have been affected, has been invited to a meeting in relation to the election expenses of the Conservative Party, along with representatives from the Electoral Commission and the Crown Prosecution Service."
A CPS spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that we have received a letter from the Electoral Commission concerning the 2015 general election.
"The Electoral Commission has asked the CPS to consider making application(s) to the Court under s.176 of the Representations of the People Act 1983 to extend the time for bringing prosecutions.
"We are meeting with the Electoral Commission and police on 4 May and we will respond before the time limit expires."

Wilson to resign as Graduate School dean
Princeton NJ -- John Wilson, dean of the Graduate School since 1994, has announced that he will resign from his administrative post at the end of the academic year in June.
He will return to the Department of Religion, where he has been a faculty member since 1960. A search for his successor will begin shortly, according to President Tilghman.
"The Graduate School has thrived under John Wilson's exceptional leadership," Tilghman said. "He has helped reshape graduate education with initiatives that have significantly increased financial support for doctoral students. Through outreach efforts he oversaw and carried out, the school has achieved a higher profile in recent years, both on campus and among alumni."
Wilson indicated that the increased support for doctoral students is the achievement of which he is most proud. This year, the University implemented an expanded fellowship program that provides all first-year doctoral students in the sciences and engineering with full tuition and a stipend to assist with living expenses. In addition, all doctoral students in the humanities and social sciences -- who already were supported through fellowships during the academic year -- are now eligible to receive summer stipends.
"Both former President (Harold) Shapiro and former Provost (Jeremiah) Ostriker recognized that, especially as research doctoral programs remain small in scale or even contract in size, competition for the most promising students will only become more severe," Wilson said. "Under their leadership and with the strong support of the trustees, Princeton has placed itself 'at the head of the class' through its first-year fellowships and its summer stipends.
"Of course," he continued, "we have also been concerned that our graduate students are well served with housing options and in terms of social facilities." This past year, the University announced plans to build additional graduate-student housing.
Wilson also noted the Graduate School's successful introduction of online application forms, stressing their increasing importance in light of the school's global reach.
He said some of his fondest memories are of events that took place during the year-long celebration of the Graduate School's centennial. Activities ranging from reunions to a lecture series to a gala dinner-dance drew many alumni and other members of the University community to the campus to mark the occasion.
A specialist in American religious history, Wilson plans to turn his attention back to several long-term projects that were "essentially interrupted" when he became dean of the Graduate School. His scholarly research has focused on religion and public life and religious thought.
Wilson served as assistant dean of the college from 1965 to 1972 and as chair of the Department of Religion from 1973 to 1980. He was named the Agate Brown and George Collord Professor of Religion in 1977. He also was master of Forbes College from 1983 to 1992.

The NitRem Project TeamIn July of 1993 Sam Houston State University (SHSU), Innotek Corporation, now ThermoEnergy Corporation (THE), and Battelle Pacific Northwest Laboratories (BPNNL) initiated a project which addresses one of the Defense Department's (DOD) major environmental problems, wastes from the manufacture of munitions, propellants and explosives.
Some Members of the NitRem Project Team at RFAAP
Zacker(BPNNL), Cossey(THE), Loeffler(SHSU), Fassbender(BPNNL)
Project BackgroundThis NitRem project took the patented NitRem concept which was validated in BPNNL laboratories on production wastes containing dinitrotoluene (DNT) and expanded it to a pilot scale, transportable unit. Completed laboratory scale studies, engineering design, and fabrication of a NitRem palletized pilot plant prepared the project for this demonstration which evaluated of the effectiveness of NitRem chemistry in destroying DNT in toxic, propellant production wastewater at the Radford Army Ammunition Plant (RFAAP).
NitRem Pilot Plant Under Construction
The Listed Hazardous WasteThe selected waste stream for this demonstration contains DNT which is a component of single-base propellants produced at RFAAP. This DNT-containing wastewater is co-mingled with all other industrial effluents and treated at an on-site biological wastewater treatment plant. Previous evaluations conducted by the U.S. Army Production Base Modernization Activity (PBMA), and Industrial Operations Command (IOC) have indicated that removal of DNT from the water dry effluent may alleviate the DNT discharge problem which has rendered the biosludge from the RFAAP treatment plant a listed waste.
The Dual-Shell Pressure-Balancing Pistons at RFAAP
Analysis of the effluent provided for the demonstration indicates DNT at a concentration of 120 ppm (120,000 ppb). This concentration is well over a thousand times the concentration allowed for outfall discharge according to RFAAP National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) discharge limits (113 ppb average per week, 285 ppb daily maximum.)
Demonstration Test ResultsThe overall goal of the demonstration at RFAAP was to reduce DNT concentrations to below NPEDS permit levels. The project's Test Plan selected reactor conditions that the project's bench and engineering scale studies had predicted to provide optimum degradation reactions. At this temperature (350oC) and flow rate (0.4 gpm), the project team then improved reduction of residual DNT concentration from the original 120,000 ppb in the influent down to 40 ppb , then to 5 ppb, and finally to "non-detect" levels (well below 5 ppb) in the reactor effluent by adjusting amounts of feed chemicals. Thus, NitRem chemistry and the dual-shell, pressure-balanced reactor (DSPBR) reduced the concentration of DNT from 120,000 ppb to 5 ppb, achieving a destruction efficiency of 99.996%, then on further reducing it to <5 ppb, thus demonstrating better than "five nines" reaction efficiency!
The remainder of the Test Plan was designed to probe the question of whether or not the unit could be efficiently operated at lower temperatures and/or at feed rates other than 0.4 gpm. As expected, the test confirmed that 350oC (at 0.4 gpm) was an optimal operating temperature for this DNT waste stream although the unit could achieve acceptable destruction efficiency at 340oC with a reduced feed rate of 0.3 gpm ( down to 16 ppb DNT.) Causal relationships between temperature, residence time and reaction efficiency were further demonstrated.
The significance of these DNT results is that the NitRem chemistry along with the DSPBR will reduce this DNT, listed waste to less than 3% of RAAP's discharge limits. Once treated the NitRem process' effluent, which had been a DNT, hazardous waste, could be immediately discharged without fear of a public health hazard and in compliance with federal regulations.
In secondary sampling procedures, the project team also collected data to analyze the metal ion concentrations throughout the system. The purpose for these tests was to evaluate the possibility of corrosive degradation of the reactor shell and to detect leaks or breaches between reactor components. The liner in this DSPBR was a special chromium alloy, so monitoring chromium levels was of particular interest. The data indicate no detectable increase in chromium between influent and effluent streams, thus no significant corrosion occurred during operation. Review of sodium ion concentration in specific portions of the unit confirmed that there was no transmission of reactor side fluid, thus no breach nor leak during operation.
Numerous other tests were conducted by the project team, such as evaluation of chemical oxygen demand and nitrate/nitrite concentrations in reactor feed and reaction products, to analyze reaction conditions, as well as a gas-chromatograph/mass spectrometer study to identify possible degradation products which may be harmful to the environment. Analysis of these data further confirms that NitRem chemistry and the DSPBR worked very well indeed.
ConclusionToxic DNT levels were reduced by 99.996% to below NPEDS levels and no corrosive degradation occurred in the DSPBR. NitRem chemistry was not only effective at destroying DNT but also in destroying it in such a manner that no detectable reaction biproducts were introduced into the effluent.

Description of the project: Amira started the "No More Bottles Campaign" in 2010 to present the
results of a research project about the problems of bottled water and the lack of knowledge on the subject
of water conservation among students in the university. This campaign began as an educational initiative
and moved forward to action when the group achieved the installation of new drinking fountains in the
college. Additionally, Amira led a second research project, managed to have the campaign spread around the
campus and led the creation of a formal proposal to eliminate the sale of bottled water. This proposal was
supported by members of the university's administration and in the present, she works to complete the
objectives of this campaign. During these years she has led this effort including activities such as
forums, conferences, educational events for the general public and projects to provide water in a more
accessible manner to the students and staff of the university.

Started having antifreeze com through passenger side of car about two years ago. Bypassed hoses so that during summer did not need the heat. Then during that winter switched back and it worked ok. Then this year the engine light came on and now I keep getting low coolant level even after I just added more. Now the past 2 months did not have heater core hoses hooked up but while driving I notice white smoke coming from under hood and sometimes out tailpipe. Looked under hood and found that the water hose has a small tear in it. Everything was still on. Could the water hose be making the white smoke appear and if that is back building could that push the antifreeze inside my car. What happens if I dont get the water hose fixed soon? I have no heat in my car. When I have heater core hoses hooked up inside window fogs up and can not drive at all. What do I do?
have the same problem?

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/bjt4bz/global_hiv)
has announced the addition of the "Global
HIV Infection Drug Market & Pipeline Insight" report to
their offering.
The rate of HIV infection and the number of deaths due to AIDS has been
on a declining note at a positive rate across the globe. It has been
estimated that the death rate reduced from 2.3 million in 2005 to 1.5 in
2013, with the rates for children being even much lower. A major cause
for such drastic changes in the infection rates has been the improved
access to antiretroviral drugs and theray in recent years. The access
to these drugs and therapy has improved significantly, particularly in
many developing countries where these drugs and treatments were
previously not available at all. At present these solutions have been
made accessible and affordable also.
However, a major trend observed in this market has been that although
the HIV infection rates are falling, the number of new patients being
affected by the virus is increasing. With all the conscious efforts
undertaken by all the related organizations and stakeholders, it is
expected that by 2015, significant investments would be recorded in this
field with the WHO setting an aim to treat close to 15 million HIV
Key Topics Covered:
1. Global HIV Infection Drug Market Overview
2. Global HIV Infection Drug Market Dynamics
3. FDA Regulatory Framework for Development of HIV Vaccine
4. EMA (News - Alert) Regulatory Framework for Development of Medicinal Products For

County Supes Ask For Federal Apology, Reparations For Slavery
By Steven Tavares
Follow @eastbaycitizen on twitter
"The government owes Americans an apology," said Alameda County Board of Supervisors President Nate Miley said Tuesday morning during comments in support of a resolution asking the federal government to officially apology for acts of slavery perpetrated over the past 400 years. The board also asks for an unspecified amount in reparations to remedy the injustices of generations past, using similar instances around the world.
The excitable Miley said the long list of injustices against blacks typically upsets him, as he read a list of similar apologies and deals for reparations in this country and abroad. He says the the county's resolution is based on the success of Japanese-Americans to gain redress for their internment during World War II. Miley also referred to land deals made with numerous Native American tribes along with reparations for the Jews by the German government and recent apologies by the prime minister of Australia to its own aboriginal peoples.
"We could do this for many people," admitted Supervisor Keith Carson, who co-sponsored the resolution with Miley.
Himself remembers separate restrooms in Berkeley and hoping to only apply for dishwasher in Jack London Square.
"The apology is not about the past tense," said Carson, who said he remembers racism in the not-so-distant-past as a youth growing up in the East Bay. He recounted segregated restrooms for whites and blacks in Berkeley and often found employment in Jack London Square was limited to the lowly dishwasher.
The problems borne out of slavery still exist today, he says, in the form of drugs in the inner cities and the high rate of incarcerations among young black men.
The prevalence of these problems have a direct effect on how the county administers funding for programs typically in support of poor minority groups. Black babies have an increased risk of being born premature, tend to have higher instances of dropping out of school and falling into poverty, said Miley. Because of the lack of health care, blacks also have a higher likelihood of facing medical problems later in life. All areas that contribute to allocations of county funding to combat the problems.
"This is not a fluff resolution," said Miley. "It has an affect on our county."
Because of the disparities, I feel reparations are needed. I don't need them, but my people need them." Miley is urging others to call on Sacramento to pass a similar resolution and "sweep it across the country."
Supervisor Wilma Chan agreed, "It's a shame there are these disparities.", She referred to the state Legislature cutting a small program to help black infants last year as proof racism still exists in government. "Why would you pick that?" she asked. "It's a couple million out of hundreds of million. That shows there is something wrong."
Congress has failed to walk in unison on the issue of reparations, although the U.S. Senate approved a resolution apologizing for slavery in June 2009. An amendment tacked on to the resolution, though, sidestepped the issue of reparations. The House of Representatives approved their resolution in 2008 without the reparations amendment.

I wholeheartedly agree with reparations - but here's how we have to calculate it:ReplyDelete
> Figure out how many black slaves there were.
> Say that most of them worked 12 hours a day - they should have been paid minimum wage plus overtime for 52 weeks per year.
> Minus food and housing costs.
> Minus the cost of the initial boat ride to the states.
Then estimate the number of black people in the USA today and calculate:
> Cost of welfare and Section 8 housing
> Costs for incarceration
> Medical costs (especially with ER visits after gunfights)
> Cost for human life taken by black thugs (for instance, if a Chinese software engineer is killed by an Oakland thug, his earning potential for the rest of his life is probably around $2-3Million)
I think if you do the math, you'll find that black people owe the rest of society far more than society owes them. Unfortuantely, there are relatively few black people that can pony up the scratch for payback - so I'd suggest a sliding scale contribution based on income - sorry Bob Johnson, Oprah and Puff Daddy - but you would get the short end of the stick on this one.

It was their own people in Africa that sold them into slavery hundreds of years ago. Although it was a horrible thing that happened how would the government go about paying people? Can people trace their lineage back hundreds of years with questionable records at best? The black community can not continue to blame the white people for their problems. It is hard to hear but it needs to be said that for a race, not all mind you, that glorifies drug use, being a gangsta and the degrading way they treat and talk to their woman and take no responsibility for the children they produce, woman included, it is time for their leaders to look inward and speak the truth of how their communities have chosen to live.ReplyDelete

For many African-Americans, a real choice is not avaliable in the same way as it is for others.
Black people suffer from prejudice to this day. One only need read the comments section of this website to confirm that, but there are plentiful examples from which to pick.
The three previous comments are from people who very well may be business and property owners in our community. Picture these three interviewing two people, one of whom was African-American and one not. The two applicants provided identical job or rent/mortgage applications, and performed equally well in their interviews. What would our commenters do? Would the African-American have ANY CHANCE AT ALL of being hired or gaining housing from these three people?
The family heritages of African-Americans often place them at a disadvantage to other people. Lack of access to the vote, education, employment, health care, housing, social services and many other rights and privledges routinely enjoyed by other citizens were completely denied their ancestors. Thus their families grew up in households where education and other things valued and prioritized by the families of Caucasians and others was a missing element for them, placing these children at a disadvantage. In addition, many of these rights for African-Americans are repressed in our communities to this day. This current repression is not the denial of rights many of their great-great grandfathers suffered, but repression it is.
The coup de grace is that crimes committed by African-Americans are punished much more consistently and harshly than equal or worse crimes committed by the privledged and those of other races; there are numerous studies proving this to be a fact. Even the basic freedoms of avoiding incarceration or, in some states, the death penalty are denied African-Americans in comparison to others.
I'd claim that our commenters above are engaging in denial and wishing, consciously or unconciously, to justify and rationalize their right not to care about others.

So why doesn't Carson apologies, he's in government. No one in government today can REALLY please anyone with an apology, since they weren't the ones enslaving anyone.
"This is not a fluff resolution," said Miley. "It has an affect on our county." All resolutions are fluff, even this.
Carson doesn't want money, says his "people" do. Am I not his people, I am American. Does he not represent me, I live in the county.
What about the money stolen from my father-in-law by three punks in Emeryville? 1 was caught, but they didn't return the money. Shouldn't we pay back those who were victims of a crime committed with a deadly weapon? (Funny side story, they couldnt hold the gun right and my father-in-law turned it on them; two ran).

The problem is whatever advantages given to blacks - it's never enough and only seems to leave them worse off. Only they can break 'they-selves' out of a slave mentality. Look at the facts:
> As slaves and under Jim Crow; blacks were denied educations.
> Now - black kids have access to free K-12 education. How do they respond? By creating a culture where achieving academically is "acting white" and by beating up achieving whites and Asians based solely on race.
> Also, hard working Asian and Mexican immigrants have language barrier and accent issues to deal with - black people speak a form of incorrect English called ebonics of their own volition which alienates them from employers and the rest of society.
> Black people didn't have access to good food and medical care:
> Today, they take their families to McDonald's (which now has a black-only marketing web site) and KFC; and drink malt liquor and "grape drank."
> They have higher rates of diabetes and heart disease because they eat a poor diet of pork, fried foods and they smoke Newports. They don't value nutrition.
Under the US capitalistic system - many blacks have succeeded. There are more black millionares in the US than anywhere else. Sorry that slavery was an unfair immoral practice, but you guys (Africans) started it; and at least it got you to the US. Would you rather be living in a mud hut starving or living in a genocidal country, or get free food and shelter with welfare and Section 8?
Those who have made it by hard work and not handouts - a couple comedian examples being Chris Rock and Bill Cosby - lay the blame solely where it belongs - to members of the black community who don't take responsibility for their own actions.
As far as the racist hiring argument - that's rich. Just about every Fortune 500 company has "diversity goals" and is tripping over itself to hire qualified black applicants. Blacks are still given preferential treatment in government jobs and Fire Dept. hiring. Just look at Deborah Edgerely and others who were unqualified criminals who held jobs in Oakland city government.

Life didn't used to be quite such "a brutal fucking fight every day". Why should it be? We're not supposed to be savages any more; this is a modern culture. The pursuit of happiness is a promise from the beginning of our Nation.ReplyDelete
Previous Congresses, Executives and Judiciaries, and our current ones, have been tasked to create "a more perfect Union". It is obvious that this must be a constant struggle; that's quite a high goal we've extended to ourselves. Of course, those arguing for the bizarre concept of "American exceptionalism" would have it that our Nation is superior no matter what we do. Forget about the need to consider the effect of our actions on others, inside and outside our great Nation. This is the "AMERICA- FUCK YEAH!" brigade.
Brutal fighting is not the way it needs to be, and it didn't used to be as brutal as it is now. This is what three decades of near-constant Republican control of the policy agenda and thematic control of the major media outlets has given us.
You tell African-Americans to make it ON YOUR OWN. How would you propose they do so when people like you won't hire an African-American for a job, or give them housing, or give them TRULY equal access to a higher education, or vote for politicians which support the right of African-Americans to access these and many other services as easily as you do.
Because they're n******, you know.
Based on your statements, I'm sure you would agree with Zaluchi in "The Godfather" when he said the Mafia should dump the drug "traffic in the dark people, the coloreds. They're animals anyway. Let them lose their souls."
And I'm absolutely sure that you got to where you are entirely on your own work and accomplishments, and that you had no parents, no mentors, no teachers, no friends or relatives with connections who helped you along the way.
Yes, it's been all about you. So, so gratifying.

How come the immigrant Asians buy a big bag of rice and cheap produce in Oakland Chinatown markets; while KFC and McDonalds have lines of blacks out the door? Do the Chinatown markets discriminate against black people? No--Chinese are capitalists driven by money and will sell vegetables and rice to all who have the cash to pay for them.
Btw, by calling a successful black man an "outlier"; you're showing your own racial prejudice by associating being black with failure. Which is part of the liberal mantra because continued failure in the black community is crucial to keeping liberals in power.

I'm not calling Cosby an outlier because of his wealth. I'm calling him an outlier because his contrarian rhetoric separates him from the vast majority of prominent African-Americans. Bill's wealth may or may not have something to do with that. I'd be unsurprised if it has caused him to lose full cosnsciousness of the fact that most African-Americans do not have truly equal access to the best that American society has to offer.
Here's another way I'd ask you to look at this. Howard Zinn, Noah Chomsky, and many, many other white people who are distinguished by their work in the world and in the classroom, have views which are much more strident than mine about the destructiveness of the American power system on all those who are victimised by their lack of access to power, African-Americans included.
They are outliers, as sure as Cosby is. They have conducted studies and gained experiences on the issues they speak about. I'm certain that Cosby has not gained more broad experience on his chosen subjects as Zinn and Chomsky have on theirs. Why do you admire Cosby for his contrarianism, and not Zinn, Chomsky and others?
I've heard Chris's "the n***** have got to go" routine. I've also heard his many, many routines which express similar sentiments to the one about W. Bush quoted above. Why would't you consider THAT "the most truthful talk there's ever been on racial problems in America"?

Chomsky is an anti-Semitic communist anti-American. He blamed the US for 9/11; not those who did it. Anyone who takes him seriously is mentally ill.
And your prejudice is showing again - assuming that Cosby hasn't done extensive research on the subjects he speaks because he's black. The man has a Doctorate in Education. But you assume because he's a negro that he doesn't have any knowledge of research or how to gather empirical evidence.
Please realize that most liberal celebrities that espouse their opinions on politics are high school educated or high school dropouts like Sean Penn and Jannine Garafolo.
You make me sick because your brand of racism is the worst of all - low expectations for blacks; and wanting them to forever wallow in the chains of victimhood - their only salvation is the handouts from rich, white liberals and not by education and hard work. Ever notice how liberals (including Hillary the Clinton) want to invest taxpayor money for job training for ex-convicts in black communities, instead of paying for their college educations? Like you, they have no incentive for the black man to succeed; because rich blacks might start voting Republican...

The giving has come from the parts of the state budget that do not command powerful lobbies or enjoy constitutional protection.ReplyDelete
Social welfare spending, the third biggest piece of the budget a generation ago, has been elbowed aside. Fewer Californians receive welfare today than when Reagan was governor, despite the doubling of the state's population and it's unemployment rate. Their grants but half as much as 20 years ago.
But the hardest budget blows under Arnold, a Republican governor, rained down on higher education. As a result, tuition has soared at campuses which I attended at little cost. It seems Republicans like yourself don't want to pay for education. That's why most rich minorities still vote Democratic. Just saying.

These discussions often require constant corrections of false information. It seems neccessary for many commenters to build their arguments on information which is false. Some of these mistakes/lies are factual. From The Governor's May budget revision:ReplyDelete
"The Governor's Budget proposed a major realignment of public safety programs from the state to local governments. This realignment assigns program and fiscal responsibility to the level of government that can best provide the service, eliminating duplication of effort, generation savings, and increasing flexibility. The implementation of the Community Corrections Grant Program authorized by AB 109 will end the costly revolving door of lower-level offenders and parole violations through the state's prisons."
A press release from the State Department of Personnel Administration on April 15th:
"California's Department of Personnel Administration and the union representing State correctional officers have reached agreement on a new contract that, if ratified, generates immediate budget savings by requiring correctional officers to pay a greater share of their pension cost and take a day of unpaid leave each month for a year."
So, the Governor's proposal does cut funding for the State correctional system, and places it on a path for further cuts in the long term. The Governor got the State prison guards to accept cuts in compensation. The only attempted refutations of a post full of good points are incorrect. Why? Just saying...lies, apparently.
Noam Chomsky is anti-Semitic, so the claim is. Many parts of the security strategy of the state of Israel are very counterproductive, and in fact have placed Israel's security in greater jeopardy. The United States lacks the will to influence its ally while our country exhibits constantly coercive military and financial control over many of Israel's neighbors.
These facts creates problems for our country's security. The September 11th attacks were the most traumatic manifestations of our security problems related to Israel, but so are our multiple military occupations in the Middle East, which have now lasted longer than our involvements in the Civil War and the two World Wars combined, causing our country massive losses of life, health and money.
Chomsky points this out in accurate historical detail. The person claiming anti-Semitism puts the accusation forward as a smear. NOT ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE, not one quote by Chomsky is brought forward by the commenter to support their claim. It's a smear, and it makes me angry.
Here's what was written: "I'm certain that Cosby has not gained MORE broad experience on his chosen subjects as Zinn and Chomsky have on theirs." No assumption was made that Cosby lacked scholarship, intelligence or experience. Zinn and Chomsky have held great amounts of these attributes as well, to the degree that claiming Cosby has greater expertise lacks merit.
Bringing in someone's completed education as the final arbiter of the validity of their opinions is inconsistent from the writer. Chomsky holds a doctorate and is one of the most prolific authors and public speakers in the history of America, but the commenter rejects that as a measuring stick for truth. Given this, bringing lack of scholarship forward as a rejection of a others' views is a bad faith argument.
Much of the rest is contemptible or laughable, unworthy of response. When you write that an entire race of people needs to change their behavior, you're a racist. No group of people is monolithic, nor are their circumstances.
I don't have low expectation for blacks: I have higher expectations for our society. We are moving further away from equal opportunity and choice for minorities and women in this country, not closer.

The top personal income tax rate is lower now than when Reagan was Gov. The corporate tax has been cut and the code turned into a Swiss cheese of credits and exemptions. The estate tax has been abolished. Prop 13 cut and capped property tax rates and limited reassessments. The vehicle license fee has been halved. The sales tax rate is higher but it's yield has fallen because tangible goods make up a declining slice of our consumption.ReplyDelete
So it should be no surprise that the budget fight this year in Sacramento is not over whether state government will be big or small. It's about whether the state government will be small or smaller.
With the Republicans saying NO to all revenue enhancements and NO to even keeping the taxes we have, Brown had no choice but to seek an all cuts budget. He and the majority of people in Calif. want to let the voters decide, but the party of NO won't even let the voters decide whether we want an all cuts budget, or one that keeps the taxes we have, plus the cuts that have been proposed, as part of compromise budget.

NFL Team Report - Philadelphia Eagles - INSIDE SLANT
During his final season as head coach at the University of Oregon, Chip Kelly's team ran the ball 65 percent of the time.
The Sports Xchange
NFL Team Report - Philadelphia Eagles - INSIDE SLANT
During his final season as head coach at the University of Oregon, Chip Kelly's team ran the ball 65 percent of the time.
He's not going to run it that much with the Eagles, but he is expected to run it considerably more than his predecessor, Andy Reid.
That became even more evident this week when the Eagles signed former Dallas Cowboys running back Felix Jones.
Jones, who was the 22nd overall pick by the Cowboys in the 2008 draft, joins a deep running back corps that already includes 2011 first-team All-Pro LeSean McCoy and Bryce Brown, who averaged 4.9 yards per carry as a rookie last year.
The 5-10, 215-pound Jones is a dangerous runner who has averaged 4.8 yards per carry in five NFL seasons. But he has had major durability issues, which is why the Cowboys didn't re-sign him and why the Eagles were able to sign him to a one-year, no-risk contract.
He's had more than 16 carries in a game just four times in five NFL seasons.
"Things just didn't go right as far as the injuries and things," Jones said. "But you know, that's how the game is. You've got to keep pushing on, keep moving. Things don't happen the way you plan 'em. I'm just happy to be here. I'm excited about the opportunity."
McCoy rushed for 1,309 yards and a franchise-record 17 touchdowns two seasons ago. But season-ending injuries to three of the Eagles' starting offensive linemen last year had a major impact on his production. He missed four games with a concussion, rushed for just 840 yards, his yards-per-carry average dropped from 4.8 to 4.2 and he had just two rushing touchdowns.
Brown, a 220-pounder with sub-4.4 speed, rushed for 347 yards and four touchdowns in back-to-back games against Carolina and Dallas, but also fumbled four times in 107 rushing attempts.
Jones was a feared kickoff returner early in his career, averaging 27.1 yards per return as a rookie. But he had just 11 returns last season. The Eagles, who finished 28th in the league in kickoff return average last season, likely will give him an opportunity to win the kickoff return job.
"It's something I always did, something I always wanted to do," he said.
--The oldest player on the Eagles' roster is in a fight for his job as starting quarterback.
Michael Vick, the team's most grizzled veteran at 32, and second-year pocket passer Nick Foles, split first-team snaps with the offense in drills and simulated scrimmage situations Monday in the team's first OTA session.
"I compete with myself more than (I compete) with anyone else," Vick said.
The tempo of the workout was rapid and ripe with bass, with Kelly blaring 50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, Queen and other hand-selected numbers. The totals more important to Eagles' fans are those produced in what Kelly labeled on draft day as a "wide-open" competition.
Vick said the quarterbacks are not worried about who the No. 1 quarterback is in May. He plans to stress consistency and making the right decisions while grasping Kelly's vast scheme.
Foles was only "sprinkled in" with the starting offense last week, according to wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Maclin said Friday that Vick was ahead of Foles based on the way Kelly had divvied up practice snaps.
"Count them up. Someone charted them, I would imagine," Kelly said Monday. "He and Nick switched to different groups, so that's what we did."
Within his OTA schedule, Kelly said the split was planned to be 50-50, but said Foles might've received slightly less work in the first OTA of a planned three-week schedule.
At one point in Monday's session, Kelly had all five quarterbacks on the 90-man roster -- including fourth-round pick Matt Barkley and Kelly's former Oregon pupil Dennis Dixon -- throwing simultaneously. Their footwork and accuracy was critiqued on the fly and the pace of the practice must've felt like fast-forward compared to roster holdovers from the Andy Reid regime and Barkley, who is straight from the college scene.
"Matt has been really good. We've had him for three days," said Kelly, including a weekend rookie minicamp. "Really thought he picked things up quickly. He's an extremely hard worker. He's here every morning at 6 a.m. working at whatever it is to work on. I mean, I think he's got a great football background first and foremost. He started four years in high school and four years in college and that's kind of rare, so he's been through a lot. It showed up when he got here. He's got a lot of experience even though he's a rookie. I've been real impressed with Matt in the three days now going into the fourth day that we've had him."
Vick turns 33 on June 26 and after renegotiating his contract is driven to prove he's the ideal option for Kelly's four-plays-a-minute offense. Injuries are the biggest bugaboo for Vick, who was sacked 85 times in the past 35 games and has played every game just once in his career (2006).
"In my mind, in my heart," said Vick, "I feel like I'm the starter."

In the following excerpt from the Semiconductors Report, an expert analyst discusses the outlook for the sector for investors:
TWST: Are there any companies from your group that stand out as being at the forefront of the "Internet of things?"
Mr. Svanberg: This is a fairly new market, but there are all sorts of examples. You've got the state-of-the-art tractor that has 500 different sensors, and those sensors basically communicate information back to the Internet for all sorts of data analytics. There are all sorts of industrial communications networks where information is moving on the factory floor with secure wireless connectivity as opposed to wireline or cable. So there are a lot of these different types of examples.
I would say companies that are best positioned for "Internet of things" would be either microcontroller companies or analog companies, and the reason why is because that's really what you need in order to develop the semiconductor for "Internet of things." So companies like Microchip (MCHP), Texas Instruments (TXN), Silicon Labs (SLAB), these are companies that have publicly announced that they are investing heavily into the "Internet of things" markets.
TWST: What are the industry-specific metrics you find most meaningful in analyzing semiconductor stocks that investors in the space should also evaluate?
Mr. Svanberg: It's interesting, because if you would've asked me that question 15 years ago, I would've answered growth. So growth, I think, was the one metric that really dictated people or investors' perception of a successful stock or a company.
I think now that the semiconductor industry has matured and moved into sort of a slower growth pace, I would say profitability, and especially cash flow generation, I think, is becoming a more important metric. And keep in mind, the analog sector and analog companies tend to be very profitable, generate a lot of cash and actually pay dividends, and I think that's something that investors are valuing much more now than, let's say, 15 years ago...

And I never wanted to like another girl and be rejected by her. Never thought it'd happen to me, how very wrong I'd been. How much I hated those feelings of love and heartbreak as much as I still do today.
