Its a series of TV shows/films. How can a ship created for a an iteration of the show created in 2001 appear in earlier iterations? The NX-01 omissions in older versions of Star Trek has nothing to do with the E's time trip. Does the XCV 330s omission from all legacy displays after TMP mean it ceases to exist?
I've always believed that in the original time-line, Archer's NX-01 was the "Dauntless" and, as suggested upthread that the actions of Picard, et al, altered that fact. (Even wrote a story to that effect once.)
Why make it something other than the Enterprise? I don't get that mindset. Continuity is always evolving. New ideas and concepts are introduced, often filling in blank spots. By introducing the XCV 330, TMP opened to door for other starships named Enterprise. In the 200 years between First Contact and TOS there could have been several ships named Enterprise. We know of two for sure. I'm also of the opinion that the events of FC always happened. Picard and the E were always there and meant to be there. There was no alternate timeline.
As I recently said in another thread, pretending Enterprise an alternate timeline makes it entirely pointless as a prequel. Why show the first Human/Vulcan hybrid if not to forshadow Spock? Why show the beginnings of the Federation if it's not meant to be the Federation we all know and love but some weird alternate version? Why have Brent Spiner playing Arik Soong if not to foreshadow his various TNG characters? Why explain the Klingon forehead thing if not to set up the Klingons as seen in The Original Series?
But "Enterprise" as an altered timeline is at least implicit in part of its premise, the "Temporal cold war". I believe that were it not for the mechinations of "Future Guy" and other factions the events of Archer's era would have flowed into Kirk's era as we've seen it, not maybe not as much.
Nope, the TCW is just a plot device. It doesn't change the path of history from leading to TOS. If anything the TCW front in Archers era has to lead to TOS. If those events didn't happen, then TOS wouldn't exist as we know it. As King Daniel pointed out, a prequel that doesn't lead into TOS is pointless.
^I remember the TMBs [edit: Trek Message Boards] at ST.COM back in the early 2000's, anyone ballsy enough to suggest the TCW lead to TOS would be totally ignored or ridiculed to shame. Anyone else remember this line from an ENTERPRISE promo spot: "This is how the Star Trek saga begins!"
I think they kind of used the TCW as a handwave to explain away some of the retcons they made. But then saw Daniels' idea of "correct" history in "Azati Prime" - where this Delphic Expanse (which we'd never previously heard of or seen in any chronologically later Treks) had grown to encompass most of the Alpha Quadrant. Then the NX-01 crew destroyed the Expanse a few episodes later and the next season began piling on the direct prequels. So I think, looking back on Enterprise, that it's the stuff that happened in the Temporal Cold War and those changes made that created the timeline seen in TOS/TNG and the rest.
One could also argue that the events depicted in "Enterprise" and all its attendant timeline changes led to the timeline shown in Trek '09. (Ducks to avoid thrown objects.) Seriously, the Kelvin, predating Kirks Enterprise by a good twenty years, had biometric monitoring of away teams, Refit-style deflector technology and other seemingly anachronistic stuff that we never saw in TOS. Clearly the result of intensive R+D following in the wake of the Xindi attack.
You appear to be getting "in-universe," and "out-universe" mixed up and combined. From a production point of view, obviously the NX-01 wasn't design when we first saw the legacy display. However, in-universe the NX-01 didn't appear among the legacy ships Decker and the Ilia-unit looked at in TMP, nor was the NX-01 present in the observation lounge wall in TNG series. In-universe, something changed to place it there. If the NX-01, a ship with a prominent history (first this and that), wasn't present, it's not being initially named Enterprise could account for it's absence. In the original history, Deanna never told Cochrane the Enterprise's name, because she wasn't there the first time through.
^The Ringship Enterprise didn't appear in TNG, but a colour version of the TMP art work it did appear a few times in Enterprise, in the 602 club and at Starfleet HQ. Which universe is the alternate one again? http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(XCV_330) IMO it's the same future seen through different eyes. See this thread: http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?p=7268416
It may well be that the renaming of Archer's ship was the only change to the timeline caused by the intervention of Picard and crew at the launch of the Phoenix or recall Cochranes statement about cybernetic zombies and the events of "Regeneration". The ramping up of Starfleet technology may well have been in anticipation of someday encountering the Borg.
I'm not confusing them at all. I just don't go for the alternate universe explanation for every little "discrepancy". Even for things, stories and concepts I don't like. For a prequel like Enterprise the most logical explanation is every thing that happened is supposed to happen. And all those thing were always part of the history and lead to TOS. I find the need to discredit Enterprise ( or any of the films or shows) to be petty and counter-productive.
I never said I didn't "like" the ship being named Enterprise, simply exploring a realistic reason for a models absence from a wall. In Storm Front, part two, Daniels said this: The timeline's resetting itself .... all of the damage he caused, it never happened. From that I get that basically the first two seasons of ST: Enterprise existed in an alternate universe. What the NX-01 did originally in the prime universe is difficult to say. But whatever it was, it would have been at least somewhat different than the events depicted on the show. The first two season are not a part of the history of the other series, any more than the events of In A Mirror Darkly.
And I never said Alternate Universe, either. However "Enterprise" is undeniably an altered timeline since from the very first episode the actions of "Future Guy" and his Suliban frontmen brought Starfleet into contact with the Klingon Empire prematurely. No small change that.

Does Cruises Only, the largest cruise specialist agency in the US, have a special "in" with Royal Caribbean? Or do they simply have a more competent web master?
It's hard to know for sure, but for the three-day sale that Royal Caribbean has launched (for sailings in both 2012 and 2013), the range of discounts at Cruises Only seems to be much broader than those at rival travel agencies, and frankly, than at the cruise line's own website.
They include air credits, free spa treatments, bookings sans deposits, on-board ship credits of $100 and $200 (depending on the departure date), low military pricing and what they claim are exclusive discounts. Apparently, the best discounts will be available by phone.
The sale ends on Wednesday, so click over soon if you're considering a Royal Caribbean cruise in the coming months.

A 14-year-old Wisconsin boy fights in the Civil War
Youngest vet of Civil War tells of meeting "Old Abe" at capital during sixties
William DeSteese of Lamartine in Fond du Lac County enlisted in the Union Army in the spring of 1864, one month shy of his 14th birthday. After basic training he was shipped south and fought in the battles of Cold Harbor, Richmond, and Petersburg. In this short article he recalls being stationed in Washington, D.C., where he had several conversations with President Abraham Lincoln and later helped to guard the president's assassins.

He recalls the euphoria in the dressing room after the whitewash
Barcelona playmaker, Xavi Hernández gave an interview to British newspaper, the 'Daily Mail' in which he looked back at some of the most important footballing moments of his career and Barça's arch-rival features heavily in some of them.
"As with most Barcelona midfielders, Pep Guardiola was my hero, although I've always said that in my opinion the best midfielder of the past 20 years has been Paul Scholes".
The Terrassa-born player remembers the 5-0 drubbing of Real Madrid: "The 5-0 win over Real Madrid is the best game I've ever played in. The sense of superiority was incredible. We were all high-fiving in the dressing room. It was a surreal experience".
He also talked of his worst footballing memory: "When they diagnosed Eric Abidal with liver cancer".
He recalled Spain's World Cup triumph: "There isn't enough money in the world to buy the shirt I wore when I lifted the World Cup".
He also told an anecdote about Raúl González Blanco. It was during a game against Real Madrid, when Xavi was 18 years old. According to the Catalan midfielder, the former Real player snapped: "You need to know your place, there's a hierarchy here".

I have extreme views towards people who wear certain clothes. But not towards the clothes themselves. There are people whose clothes offend everyone. Russell Brand, for one, but maybe that's just him.
Scenes move fast and some don't penetrate the mainstream. I'm from a small town in Essex, and Essex was closed off from a lot that went on. I saw a lot of Adidas trousers, Spliffy jackets and Naf Naf. I got my view of what the masses were consuming – what was fashionable, what was popular – from magazines and nightclubs. You can get confused.
Wearing a pair of Doc Martens is like buying into an exclusive club. It is about separating yourself from society. That has to be done with an understanding, an awareness, of what you're wearing.
You can tell people who have bought a ready-made outfit from those who have a natural understanding of the clothes they wear. Authenticity is what makes it believable.
Fred Perry: that name, that logo. It's a classic, a British sporting icon and a ska-punk emblem. It says a lot. This shirt is a collaboration with Raf Simons. A very good thing.
I do stuff for my fashion. If something is uncomfortable, I ride it out. These 1950s hunting trousers are from Mint in Covent Garden. They're tapered with elasticated bottoms and they're comfy, too.
I went through the blond, Nick Heyward thing. I started with a Forties slick-back, then it got more extreme as I shaved up the sides. Now it's a 1970s post-punk style. I go to a proper old rockabilly place on Carnaby Street.
When you get a tattoo, you're saying: "I can't get a normal job now so I have to do this properly." That's what is amazing. You're limiting yourself, so you have to go all the way. I've got Victorian hand signs tattooed on either side of my neck. My mum almost cried. I decided to start on my neck; it leaves space to get more done.

About Conference
The goal of this report is to provide investors and others with information on the commercial potential of various nanotechnologies and to complement the growing body of technical information. Specific objectives include identifying segments of the nanotechnology market with the greatest commercial potential in the near to mid-term (2010 through 2015), projecting future demand in these segments, and evaluating the challenges that must be overcome for each segment to realize its potential in order to estimate the probability of successful commercialization.
The report is especially intended for entrepreneurs, investors, venture capitalists, and other readers with a need to know where the nanotechnology market is headed in the next 5 years. Other readers who should find the report particularly valuable include nanotechnology marketing executives and government officials associated with the National Nanotechnology Initiative and other state-level programs that promote the development of the nanotechnology industry. The report's findings and conclusions should also be of interest to the broader nanotechnology community.
The global market for nanotechnology applications will be addressed. Nanotechnology applications are defined comprehensively as the creation and utilization of materials, devices, and systems through the manipulation of matter at scales of less than 100 nanometers. The study covers nanomaterials (nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanostructured materials, and nanocomposites), nanotools (nanolithography tools and scanning probe microscopes), and nanodevices (nanosensors and nanoelectronics).
A pragmatic decision was made to exclude certain types of materials and devices from the report that technically fit the definition of nanotechnology. These exceptions include carbon black nanoparticles used to reinforce tires and other rubber products; photographic silver and dye nanoparticles; and activated carbon used for water filtration. These materials were excluded because they have been used for decades, long before the concept of nanotechnology was born, and their huge volumes (especially carbon black and activated carbon) would tend to swamp the newer nanomaterials in the analysis.
Nanoscale semiconductors are also excluded from the study, although the tools used to create them are included. Unlike carbon black and activated carbon, nanoscale semiconductors are a relatively new development. However, they have been analyzed comprehensively elsewhere, and like carbon black and activated carbon, would tend to overwhelm other nanotechnologies by their sheer volume in the out-years towards 2015.

Seth Price at Isabella Bortolozzi
February 9th, 2010
Artist: Seth Price
Venue: Isabella Bortolozzi, Berlin
Exhibition Title: Die Nuller Jahre
Date: January 19 – February 20, 2010

Press Release:
Recently I've been reflecting on the last ten years. It's arbitrary, and a little absurd, like a drunk noticing the time and abruptly sobering up for an appointment: time to figure out what happened. With the turning of the decade it's hard to avoid: these disparate years swim together, waiting to be addressed as one, whatever we end up calling it. In any case, we want to generate a series of images to replace vague and unsettled feelings, and to arrive at names. Sometimes the process of understanding artworks feels the same way.
Ten years ago I didn't yet call myself an artist, which felt presumptuous. I wasn't part of the art world, and I was ambivalent about calling what I did by the name art. I was making music, and producing videos that screened in short-film festivals. But I had a job working in an arts organization, and that exposed me to an entirely different conversation, one with tremendous appeal. After a few years I realized that I'd rather show my films within the art context, which offered a mode of working that seemed completely open. I came to know some other artists, and we collaborated on magazines and projects. I exhibited videos in group shows. I rented a studio. I was offered a solo show in 2004, and I decided to make sculptures. By the beginning of 2006 I had left my job. I was a professional artist then, at least as far as the government is concerned. In the four years that closed the decade, I've been lucky enough to have opportunities to exhibit, and to try out different forms and approaches.
This brief personal sketch is the bare outline of something often expected from artists these days, the 'artist talk,' where you're invited to a school or museum to project slides of your work, discuss its development, explain yourself. It's a contemporary form, part of the business, you could say. Through words and pictures you enter an idea of art history and context, just as surely as if you were delivering a university slide lecture on nineteenth-century painting. An artist talk supposedly lies outside the artwork, but nonetheless helps make its meaning, much like dates and titles. A production date will forever shadow your work, effecting the way it's
understood: when was this made, how does it relate to other works of the period? The artist's words function similarly, even if they are colored by the ambiguity of persona and performance.
The video at Bortolozzi came out of a lecture I gave at a museum in 2007. I had been thinking about these questions, and I decided to videotape my talk and use the video—and the given form itself—as the basis for an artwork that might bring this strange meaning- making back into the space of exhibition, where it would feel awkward and out of place. That part worked, at least: while I've changed the piece constantly since 2007, bringing it far from its starting point, it still makes me nervous. When it's exhibited alongside 'actual' artworks, especially pieces that appear on-screen, they feel supplemental, like props or de?cor. This was an interesting thing for me to confront in the intimacy of Bortolozzi's rooms.
This is a very particular approach to an exhibition, in which different pieces relate to one another within a complicated gesture, but there are many other ways of thinking about how meaning is made. Exhibiting a body of work, for instance, which starts by simply stating, "here's what I've been doing recently." Maybe that's enough. This is true of the series of works at Capitain Petzel, which share formal parameters and ideas, as well as a common title that brings them together under one reference. We know how to look at a series: one image after another, each independent but with an implicit relationship to the whole, as with an alphabet. In this show there is also the familiar movement of abstract imagery interacting with the concrete information of a title: the name completes the picture, even as it leaves a hole. These pieces come out of both gesture and industrial process, printing and painting, sculpture and image, hiding and showing, but they can't escape the fact that a randomly placed knot will suggest readings. It is not only a gesture and a material object, but a picture and a story. I wanted to yield to that impulse to be read, to generate a series of images that might replace vague and unsettled feelings, to arrive at names.

February 9th, 2010 at 3:14 pmI'm confused, is the room with the envelopes an installation, i.e. has price added all of the woodwork, light fixture, and mantel, or does the room normally look like that?
Forrest Says:
February 9th, 2010 at 3:52 pmI think it's safe to assume that it's the architecture of the space.
Sunny Says:
February 9th, 2010 at 10:11 pmI heart this. I heart this a lot. A bit too much perhaps. :)
I want to open the envelope…. who's it addressed to? But the envelopes are too easy to like. The wooden cut outs are beautiful. The little piece that hangs off? Why? What did it do to offend that it should be shunned? hehe
I'm a fan. -
Anastasia Says:
February 10th, 2010 at 9:45 amthe room in which the envelopes are presented was once used as study / library. The room looks this way in its original configuration.

kevin Says:
February 10th, 2010 at 12:26 pmwhich sentence would that be?
it looks identical to me.

I have a lump on my right leg just under my knee. I saw my doctor yesterday and went for an exray. He said it wasn't a fat deposit as he said it was attached to the bone. I noticed it about a month ago and now has grown allot larger. I am going in to find out the results of the xray but wanted to know what it could be. If it is cancerous what is the treatment etc.. Thank you so much. Lin

It depends upon how old you are and where the lump is located.
In adolescents and young adults, lumps "just under the knee" are usually either Osgood-Schlatter's disease (OGS) or an osteochondroma. Both of these conditions are benign.
OGS is an overgrowth of bone at the attachment of the patellar tendon, just below the knee in the front. This is usually seen in athletic patients, who participate in running, jumping, and kicking sports. It used to be limited to young men, but now that young ladies are playing more sports, they are developing the condition also. It is the body's way of making sure the attachment of the patella does not come off under stress. There is a growth plate there, a weak spot, so the body puts down extra bone at the attachment of the patellar tendon. This can result in a significant lump at that location.
An osteochondroma is a benign tumor that arises from the growth plate of a bone. Though these are developed during adolescence, they may not be picked up until later. The most common location for these to occur is around the knee (on the distal femur and proximal tibia), but they can occur anywhere in the body there is a growth plate. In this "tumor", a nest of cartilage cells responsible for a bone's growth, somehow get left behind as the bone grows in length. This nest of cells continues to do what it is programmed to do, make bone. But, since it is not in the usual place, a spike of bone is produced off to the side of the bone. Some of these extra bones are pedunculated (like a mushroom), while others are sessile (like a mound of earth). These usually do not cause any problems, unless they interfere with the motion of tendons, which snap over them.
However, if you are older, and the mass has just now arisen, then there is more concern for malignancy. BUT, primary bone cancer is very rare. AND, there are also some other things that can cause lumps and bumps besides cancer. An enthesopathy is a condition where there is inflammation at the insertion of a tendon onto bone. This can cause a lump to form. Calcified bursitis can sometimes cause a lump. And some other things.
Primary bone cancer does also occur in the youngsters. It has a bimodal distribution, in other words, it is seen in the very young and the very old. But, again, it is very rare.
Bone cancer is actually usually brought to the patient's attention because it is painful. Bone pain is the usual presenting symptom, rather than a lump.
Most bone cancers have very unique appearances on x-ray. If there is any doubt, then usually a bone scan and/or MRI is obtained.
As to the treatment of bone cancer, this is jumping the gun a little. You should get a diagnosis before thinking about treatment. Mainly because, each type of bone cancer (there are a lot of them) is treated in its own way. Some can be treated with radiation or chemotherapy, while others are not sensitive to these treatments. Some are aggressive and have to have a wide resection (amputation), while others can be treated with simple excision.
So, you have to know for sure what you are dealing with before a treatment plan can be determined. Usually, if there is concern for a tumor, a biopsy will be performed. A biopsy is a big deal, and it should only be done by the surgeon who would end up doing a resection (if one becomes necessary). A biopsy should not just be done by any old surgeon. If the biopsy comes back as cancer and the person who did the biopsy contaminated several compartment when doing the biopsy, or placed the biopsy incision in the wrong place, this can lead to unnecessary amputation. So, biopsies should only be done by the surgeon who will do the final operation (if one is necessary).
But, again, this is jumping the gun a little. You first have to have a diagnosis.
Good luck.

Virginia Democratic chairman Brian Moran says Gov. Bob McDonnell failed to create ample jobs
In a sluggish economy where the spotlight has been on elected officials' efforts to boost employment, the state Democratic Party is saying Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell's job creation efforts are disappointing.
A Feb. 25 news release from the Democratic Party of Virginia cited statistics from a Bureau of Labor Statistics report released that same day showing Virginia's monthly unemployment rates during 2010 averaged out at 6.9 percent. That's a slight increase from the 2009 average of 6.8 percent.
The Democrats also noted the BLS reported a drop in the state's percentage of working age people with jobs. It fell from 64.9 percent in 2009 to 64.1 percent in 2010.
Brian Moran, chairman of the Democratic Party of Virginia, fired out a news release charging the numbers demonstrate "the governor and his team did not even create enough jobs to keep pace with population growth."
We dove into the BLS numbers to see if Moran is right.
We started with his claim that in 2010 - the first year of McDonnell's term - Virginia's average monthly unemployment rate rose .1 percent to 6.9 percent. That's true, but it provides an skewed picture.
That's because when McDonnell was inaugurated in January 2010, the state unemployment rate was 7.2 percent -- its highest point of the year. The rate slowly declined the rest of the year and ended at 6.6 percent by December, ranking Virginia 9th lowest in the nation.
In other words, the unemployment rate improved during McDonnell's first year as governor. And one could make an argument that, when it comes to computing the monthly average for 2010, McDonnell was hurt by a relatively high unemployment rate he inherited from his predecessor, Democrat Tim Kaine.
Moran doesn't go there. Nor does he mention that Virginia's monthly unemployment rate in 2009 -- Kaine's last full year in office -- increased from 5.7 percent in January to 7.2 percent in December.
We're not pointing this out to say one governor performed better that the other. Economists have repeatedly told us that governors have a limited impact on employment in their states. We're merely pointing out that there's a variety of ways to interpret these statistics.
Virginia's 6.9 percent unemployment rate for 2010 was far better than the national rate of 9.6 percent.
Let's turn to Moran's second assertion, that percentage of working-age Virginians with jobs fell from 64.9 percent in 2009 to 64.1 percent in 2010. His numbers are correct.
We were curious whether the percentage of the state's population with jobs continued to improve throughout 2010 just like the unemployment rate did.
To the contrary, the numbers got worse. The percentage of employed working-age Virginians declined from 64.3 percent in January to 63.9 percent in December.
So, as Moran says the population growth did indeed outpace job growth in 2010. But is that McDonnell's fault?
Howard Wial, an economist and fellow with the left-leaning Brookings Institution, is dismissive of Moran's use of the BLS statistics to to fault McDonnell.
"I'm not saying the governor is right that he's been a wonderful job creator or that the Democrats are right in saying he hasn't been," Wial said. "I'm just saying that these numbers don't prove anything either way … They don't show you any connection between public policy and results."
Virginia, with 64.1 percent of its working age population employed last year, out-performed the national average of 58.5 percent. Just like Virginia, the national percentage of working age people who were employed declined by .8 percent from 2009 to 2010.
At the end of Kaine's term, the percentage of employed working-age Virginians fell by 1.8 percent -- from 66.7 percent in 2008 to 64.9 percent in 2009. So the same argument Moran uses to disparage McDonnell's performance could also be hurled at Kaine.
Let's review.
Moran uses two sets of data to prove his point that job growth lagged a rise in population during McDonnell's first year as governor.
He says Virginia's the average of Virginia's monthly unemployment rates rose in 2010.While technically correct, a month-to-month review shows the unemployment rate was at a high point when McDonnell took office in January and fell throughout the year. Moran's use of the annual unemployment rates is misleading and cloaks that improvement.
Moran also cites a drop in the percentage of working-age Virginians who were employed last year. The numbers certainly confirm his claim that state job growth did not keep pace with population growth. So he's right on the trend, but it's questionable whether the sluggish job environment can be laid at the feet of a governor who has been in office for a year.
While there is some truth in Moran's statement, he also uses a misleading figure to paint an inaccurate picture of the jobs situation under McDonnell. We rate the statement Half True.

The left hand
Sometimes I'll sit at the drawing board without a clue what to do next. Most of the time I'll get up and fart around and waste time (and beat myself up for it later). Sometimes I'll sit there and draw my left hand. Sometimes it turns out OK.

--I can't say I'm all that worked up about Michael McLaughlin. I've met him a couple of times, but I'll defer to Scot Lehigh's assessment. We'll see what turns up now that the microscope is on him -- could be he was a decent administrator who found ways to legally, if grossly, pad his pocketbook, or it could be considerably worse.
Governmental auditing and oversight is extremely important -- as sage political scientist Seth Masket explains today, when this function is lax you end up with Senator Palpatine diverting quintillions from the Republic's budget to secretly fund construction of a Death Star.
(I would add that this example also illustrates the importance of a vibrant free press, which had clearly withered to irrelevancy by that time.
"Josh D" asks:
In your opinion, which MA pol(s) has/have hit the ground running since being elected/reelected last fall in terms of fulfilling campaign promises and/or getting started on worth-while initiatives? Are they any that have been disappointing for the same reasons?
It's a great question, but still too early to really say much.
"Elias Nugator" is awake and alert enough post-Evacuation Day to start us off with a good one:
Granted we've only just exited a gubernatorial race and there is both a Presidential and a Senatorial race to beguile us next year... Nonetheless given that Deval Patrick has declined to run for a third term is there anyone out there making gubernatorial noises for 2014? I mean other than the annual no-shows like Ralph Martin or Andy Card.
The Boston Phoenix has made the following endorsements in upcoming primaries:
--Steve Grossman for state treasurer;
--Suzanne Bump for state auditor;
--Mac D'Alessandro for US Congress;
--Sonia Chang-Diaz for state senator;
--Tim Flaherty for state senator;
--Nick Collins for state representative;
Over the course of the year I have occasionally remarked that it's typical of Massachusetts Democrats that, in a year where voters are clearly angry at insider Beacon Hill Democrats, the party is rallying around former party chairman Steve Grossman and former Deval Patrick campaign political director Suzanne Bump, for the open statewide offices of treasurer and auditor.
"Brian" asks:
What was the biggest surprise of the Democratic Convention last weekend?
Brownies for media! (If Dems get more favorable coverage in this year's Massachusetts campaigns than Republicans -- who gave reporters SQUAT at their convention -- now you know why!)
Also, Suzanne Bump beating Guy Glodis. And, such solid attendance -- I thought for sure a fair number of delegates would end up elsewhere on a June weekend, given the relative lack of important votes, but it seems they cared enough to make the trek to Worcester.
"Boston Bertie" asks:
What happened to Guy Glodis at the Democratic State Convention. He seemed to spend a lot of resources to win the party's nod - and was heavily favored. Yet he actually got less votes than Suzanne Bump. Do you buy his spin that he threw Mike Lake a load of votes to get him on the ballot? And on another note, how did you rank the videos/speeches/presentations at the Convention?
Looking forward to the Democratic Convention in June - couple of questions:1. Will Grace Ross get the 15% to get on the ballot? And if so, where do these delegates come from - Tim Cahill Supporters in Norfolk County, maybe?2. Will Mike Lake get his 15% and make the ballot in a tough three-way fight for delegates for Sate Auditor?
Looking forward to the Democratic Convention in June - couple of questions:
1. Will Grace Ross get the 15% to get on the ballot? And if so, where do these delegates come from - Tim Cahill Supporters in Norfolk County, maybe?
2. Will Mike Lake get his 15% and make the ballot in a tough three-way fight for delegates for Sate Auditor?
Mike Lake is running for state Auditor at just 31 years old, which has prompted questions about his experience -- and whether he may be inflating his bio to make himself appear more qualified than he is.
After looking into it, and speaking with Lake, I would say that the answer may lie in the eye of the beholder -- or perhaps in the sometimes subtle distinction between implication and inference.
"Bill" asks:
What will happen at the State Democratic convention in June? Will all the candidates (i.e: Grace Ross and Mike Lake) get the 15% needed to get on the primary ballot?
I can't predict with any confidence, because frankly the inner workings of state Democratic convention politics is far beyond my level of comprehension.
Somerville's seven Ward Democratic Party Committees held their caucuses last night, to elect delegates to the state convention. All other committees aren't allowed to start holding caucuses until Wednesday, but apparently Somerville is special. (I'm told that it was the only time they could get home-town boy Congressman Michael Capuano to speak, so the state party gave them a waiver.

After both teams went down in order in the first, then Senators broke through with three straight two-out hits in the second to take a 2-0 lead. Justin Bloxom doubled, followed by a run-scoring single by Devin Ivany, who took second on an error. Jonathan Tucker singled in Ivany giving the Senators the lead.
The score remained 2-0 into the fifth inning when the B-Mets scored on a two-out single by pitching Gonzalez Germen, cutting the lead in-half.
Harrisburg bounced back in the sixth, though, when Zack Walters tripled in James Skelton giving the Sens a 3-1 lead. Binghamton trimmed the lead to a run, scoring an unearned run on a throwing error in the seventh inning.
With the score 3-2 in favor of the Sens into the eighth inning, they put two on with one-out but didn't score. The B-Mets had a single and a walk off Hector Nelo in the bottom of the eighth, but came away empty handed due to a caught stealing and double play.
Pat McCoy worked around a two-out walk in the ninth to earn his second save on the season. Paul Demny worked a scoreless inning in relief, his first relief appearance since 2008. Marco Frias also worked an inning in relief allowing an unearned run before turning the game over to Nelo and McCoy.
James Skelton and Justin Bloxom both had two hits for the Senators. It was the third straight 3-2 game the Senators have played and the first they've won.
The final game of the three game series and road trip is on Thursday night at 6:35 p.m. with RH Chien-Ming Wang on the mound the Senators. The game can be heard on 1460am The Ticket, on the Internet through the Senators website and on mobile devices with the iHeart Radio app beginning with the pregame show at 6:15 p.m.

Thyroid and weight loss has been a common problem among women. Thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped organ situated in the middle of neck. It is one of the largest endocrine glands and helps in the secretion of many hormones, such as thyroxine (T4), triiodothyronine (T3) and calcitonin, that regulate the metabolism rate of the body.
Thyroid and weight loss; The relation :-
You may be wondering what leads to weight gain during thyroid problems. Thyroid gland regulates the metabolism of the body and it is indirectly related to body weight. When the body enters " hypothyroidism", the production of the thyroid hormone decreases and the body metabolism decreases leading to weight gain. It also causes fluid retention leading to added weight. Other factors which add up on the weight gain are; increase in food intake, decrease in physical activity as a result of fatigue, and the aging process
If you too have hypothroidism and are looking to lose weight, here are some tips for you.
Thyroid and weight loss
Losing weight with hypothyroidism is a challenging task. All those with hypo thyroid and weight loss on their mind, go for a very low calorie diet which can further lower the body's metabolism, worsening the problem. Hence the correct approach is needed .
- Keep a check on your thyroid levels: Remember the answer to your weight loss question is solving the reason for weight gain. If you have a thyroid problem and weight loss is your goal, you must keep a check on your thyroid levels. Take your medications regularly and keep your levels as close to the normal range as possible. and you will see your weight coming to normal. Check your thyroid levels every 3-4 months, or at least once in 6 months.
- Increase your activity: Lowered metabolism is the main hurdle for those struggling with thyroid and weight loss. Increasing the activity levels through exercise will help in increasing the metabolism. Increase your activity levels by including a 30-45 minutes exercise session, be it walking, yoga, tai chi, swimming, cycling or gymming. Take the stairs every time you have to climb up or down. Short medium paced walks after your meals will be beneficial too.
- Increase your water and fibre intake: Hypothyroidism can cause chronic constipation, water retention and edema. Increasing water and fibre intake will help in regularizing bowel movements. Increased water consumption will also help in flushing out your lymphatic system, further helping water retention problems.
- Increase selenium intake: To supplement selenium in your diet, include bran,whole wheat, tuna, onions and tomatoes in your diet.
- Increase iodine intake: Increasing iodine intake will help in improving the thyroid functions. Eat iodized salt. If your doctor advises, go in for iodine supplements as well.
- Increase your metabolism: The key for thyroid and weight loss is increasing your metabolism. Here are some tips on how you can do that.
i] Have 5-6 mini meals – Small and frequent meals helps in reducing the sugar spikes and balance the blood sugar level. This will help in avoiding hunger pangs. Small frequent meals help by keeping the digestive system on the go. It helps in burning more involuntary calories and prevents storage of fat.
ii] Green tea – Drinking green tea will increase the metabolic rate and your energy levels. Hypothyroidism makes you feel tired and fatigued all the time. Green tea will help in decreasing the stress levels and will give you the most needed energy kick.
iii] Warm water and lemon – A glass of warm water and lemon early in the morning and after your main meals will help you in keeping the metabolism rate up through out the day.
Thyroid and weight loss:-
- Foods to eat: Include a lot of carrots,whole grain cereals, avocado, apricots, fish, asparagus, olive oil and sunflower seeds.
- Foods to avoid: Eat less of broccoli, Lima beans, cabbage, peanuts, sweet potato, mustard, kale, kohlrabi, linseed and soy products. These foods may interfere with iodine uptake in the body. Don't cut these foods out completely, just keep these to a minimum.
Whether the excess weight comes from thyroid or other hormonal issues, the key to weight loss is to correct the underlying condition while monitoring your diet, eating the right things and avoiding what's wrong and exercising. A healthy lifestyle since the very beginning is the solution to every weight related problem, including thyroid and weight loss. You might also want to read –

I purchased the unit and was wondering why you did not include the math journal entries. I really like the way you incorporate themes into math journals. Do you have a listing just for math journal entries?
ReplyDelete Hi there! I have just stumbled across your blog and am sooooo glad I did!!! You have such wonderful ideas! Two questions -
1. Do you have a daily schedule on your blog or on TPT anywhere? I would love to see a sample of your day.
2. What levels do your children usually start on at the beginning of the year? I teach in a very low income, high poverty school where our children start with extremely limited vocab skills and almost no letter/sound knowledge and am excited about using some of your ideas and maybe modifying them.
Thanks again for the super ideas!- Anonymous8:14 PM, February 08, 2011
I would also love to see what your schedule looks like. You seem to get a lot accomplished in your day. I teach 2 classes. 16 morning kiddos from 8-10, 32 kiddos from 10-12 and then the 16 afternoon kiddos. Pretty much I teach the same thing twice!
ReplyDelete - Anonymous8:28 PM, September 12, 2011
I loooove your blog! You're amazing! Your blog got me started on my addictions to blogs...I love them! I'm also interested in what your daily routine/schedule is. I went from teaching 2 half-day classes to one full-day, and while you'd think there would be more time...I still feel rushed! I want to do all of your cute things, but I would just love to know how you do it! You can email me if you would like. :) My email is email@example.com

Myth and Measurement:Also available in paperback |
David Card and Alan B. Krueger have already made national news with their pathbreaking research on the minimum wage. Here they present a powerful new challenge to the conventional view that higher minimum wages reduce jobs for low-wage workers. In a work that has important implications for public policy as well as for the direction of economic research, the authors put standard economic theory to the test, using data from a series of recent episodes, including the 1992 increase in New Jersey's minimum wage, the 1988 rise in California's minimum wage, and the 1990-91 increases in the federal minimum wage. In each case they present a battery of evidence showing that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in pay, but no loss in jobs. A distinctive feature of Card and Krueger's research is the use of empirical methods borrowed from the natural sciences, including comparisons between the "treatment" and "control" groups formed when the minimum wage rises for some workers but not for others. In addition, the authors critically reexamine the previous literature on the minimum wage and find that it, too, lacks support for the claim that a higher minimum wage cuts jobs. Finally, the effects of the minimum wage on family earnings, poverty outcomes, and the stock market valuation of low-wage employers are documented. Overall, this book calls into question the standard model of the labor market that has dominated economists' thinking on the minimum wage. In addition, it will shift the terms of the debate on the minimum wage in Washington and in state legislatures throughout the country. "The Card-Krueger work is essentially correct: the minimum wage at levels observed in the United States has had little or no effect on employment. At the minimum, the book has changed the burden of proof in debates over the minimum, from those who stressed the potential distributional benefits of the minimum to those who stress the potential employment losses."--Richard B. Freeman, Journal of Economic Perspectives "Card and Krueger didn't just question the conventional wisdom; they attacked it in a novel and powerful way. Instead of concocting a mathematical model and `testing' it with advanced statistical techniques, which is what most economists call research, they decided to test the theory in the real world. . . . The work of Card and Krueger was worth a hundred theoretical models in The American Economic Review."--John Cassidy, The New Yorker "David Card and Alan Krueger have written a book that represents a phenomenal amount of careful and honest research and that will be a classic in the minimum wage literature and also in the broader field of empirical labor economics.... A model of how to do good believable research, this book will be influential for a long time."--Paul Osterman, Industrial and Labor Relations Review "Clearly, this book should be read by any economist who wants to stay abreast of substantive, high level debates within the profession.... The book already has assumed an important position within the field of labor economics, and significant research in years to come is likely to revolve around its principle thesis."--K. A. Couch, Journal of Economics Other Princeton books by Alan B. Krueger:

Unpolished. Imperfect. Freedom.
For All Sons & Daughters' Leslie Jordan and David Leonard, these qualities are even more keenly experienced in music that connects broken people with their God. Worship leaders at Journey Church in Franklin, TN, their critically acclaimed EPs, Brokenness Aside, Reason To Sing and The Longing, along with their first full length feature album, Season One, bear witness to the power of worship by the people, for the people and of the people. In the truest sense, the mesmerizing, soul-baring lyrics and acoustic styling of this unlikely duo are beginning to make an impact...inside and outside the church.

I think the author means "wily." And what does "wily" have to do with software developers? "full of wiles : CRAFTY" OK I'm being a smart alec. At least LXer contains way fewer silly spelling and grammatical errors than Slashdot. ;) |
Inhibit May 02, 2005 1:00 PM EDT |
I've got to admit fault on that one. Kills me too, as that's the one word I wasn't sure on the spelling of.. so I popped up a session of OOwriter I had been working in to check it. Could've been the capitals that threw it off, or maybe I didn't give it enough time to kick through the spell check.. thanks for the catch though :). And I was going for wily with the title. It felt better than talented or motivated. (checked.. it's the first letter in the article so it treats it as a name) |

Nutrition For The Elderly
Author: Jenny Gill
Healthy eating and nutrition for the elderly is greatly impacted by several factors, one of them being a change in body composition. During the later years in life, the body will lose bone and muscle and gain fat because the hormones aren't very active anymore.
There are many factors which hinder an elderly person's health.
The information below will help you to lead a healthy life – no matter how old you may be.
1. Water: Water in the body decreases with age, so many older
folks will become dehydrated very easily. Sometimes they won't feel thirsty, while other times it's too much work to pour a glass of water. With this in mind, it's recommended that they drink at least 1 ounce of water for every 2.2 pounds of weight.
2. Protein: At this stage in life, protein is very important.
Protein is needed to support a healthy immune system and prevent the wasting of muscle. Since energy needs are less, older folks should eat high quality protein such as eggs, lean meats, poultry, and fish.
3. Carbs and fiber: Carbohydrates are the main source of energy
for the entire body. You can find carbs in bread, cereals, pasta, and other grain products. A diet that's high in fiber and water will help to prevent constipation as well.
4. Fat: Fat intake for the elderly should be limited, not
eliminated. You can limit fat by choosing lean meats, low fat dairy products, and food preparation methods that don't include frying.
5. Iron: For the elderly, iron deficiency can be seen with those
who aren't eating much. Good sources for iron include lean red meats or breakfast cereals.
6. Zinc: Zinc intake is normally with the elderly, and to make
matters worse, it's not absorbed very well either. Meat, poultry, and fish should be a part of your diet to help you meet the requirements for zinc.
7. Calcium: Calcium is one ingredient that most elderly folks
simply aren't getting enough of. Most believe that milk upsets their stomach, and therefore they will avoid it. They should be getting around 1,500 mg of calcium a day, and nonfat powdered milk can be used in recipes as a substitute for milk. Other foods such as yogurt, low fat cheese, and broccoli can also help you meet the requirements for calcium.
8. Vitamin B12: In order to absorb the benefits of B12, the
intrinsic factor must be produced by the stomach. Most elderly people suffer from a deficiency in B12 because they have a condition known as atrophic gastritis. This condition causes inflammation of the stomach, bacterial overgrowth, and the intrinsic factor. Without the intrinsic factor, this vitamin can be absorbed.
Each one of the above nutrients is needed to keep an aged body in good health. Elderly individuals should try to stay active and strive for a well balanced diet. Even though the aged body isn't the same as it used to be, proper care and the right nutrients can help the elderly enjoy a healthy and long life.

"Out first thing this morning was most certainly a change from how it was yesterday morning."

A Happy Friday the 13TH Day It Is !
Friday the 13th, 2012 ..... ooohhhh, am I scared? NOT !!! Friday the 13th days are usually one of my better days, as they roll around. Does one think maybe it is a state of mind we put ourselves, to be weirded out by a Friday the 13th Day ? LOL ....
"Out first thing this morning was most certainly a change from how it was yesterday morning."
"Out first thing this morning was most certainly a change from how it was yesterday morning."
Since I had taken Chicken Broth from the freezer yesterday, I had to get it used up by putting a soup together this morning.
"I got myself organized after a bit, and began the progress of "getting" it all together, chopped up, and then into the pot for all to "sweat" before adding the Chicken Broth and simmering to a wonderful doneness."
While the veggies and broth were simmering away, I placed 4 large bone-in chicken breasts into the oven to cook. Chicken for a new recipe I am going to try out tomorrow, with the remainder into the "soup" pot.
"Once my Crabby Cabbie had some sleep, until at least the lunch hour, we took leave and headed out for my 2:30 appointment with the Specialist in Owen Sound. Just a "tad" blustery, but nothing at all too serious."
"We arrived to my appointment in quite a timely matter, and were directly ushered right in to await Dr. Newtown."
We waited not long until Dr. Newton came in and introduced himself. He asked me how things had been going with me from the time I had realized I had first become ill. The verdict is "I have un-treated pneumonia". Umm, really, can you imagine that ! I just suppose this is why I have remained so tired, weak and still have a pain in my right lung? So happy to finally have a "verdict" in on all of this !
Dr. Newton seemed extremely displeased when I had told him I was sent home from the ER, when I had been just after Christmas, with a "you will just have to ride the bad bug out". He was very surprised I hadn't ended up in the Hospital !!!
After sending me down for yet another xray, I came back to the little cubicle for him to relay that "indeed the pneumonia is still present and invading my lungs.". We parted ways, with him giving me a "strong" antibiotic that is to be taken once a day for seven days, and an appointment set for two weeks time for another xray and a revisit with him at the same two week date/time.
I was very very impressed with Dr. Newton. His bedside manner was impeccable; he was forward, informative and straight way to the point, leaving no lingering grey areas to be suspicious of. I look forward to returning to see this Doctor in the two weeks allotted time.
By the time we got home, it was after the four o'clock hour, whereas I rushed to get Rob a bit of lunch together for him to take along to work, and settled in myself by de-boning the chicken breast, putting enough away for tomorrow's recipe, with the remainder going into the soup pot.
After making a couple of phone calls to family members, who had been awaiting news of my appointment, I finally settled myself in with a bowl of homemade soup and a cup of coffee.
I am happy to now think the new medication will start doing its "magic", and I will hopefully start feeling better and regain some strength once again. I hate feeling so exhausted and weakened all the time. It truly has seemed like a very long haul to me these past couple of weeks ....... I will be glad when it is all over with.
I had a "wonderful" unexpected phone call from a friend just the other day, telling me I am like a "firecracker" going at both ends and finally "exploding" in the middle ! LOL, let me "Tell the World", I am going CRAZY laying around like I have been, and totally can't wait until I can get out about and around to terrorize everyone and everything as soon as possible !!! Thanks Beverly, I always enjoy a phone call coming from your way !!!
The promised snow of the past couple of days, was and is still coming down pretty steady at times ....
"This picture was taken shortly after I had arrived back home this afternoon. The snow is starting to accumulate, little by little ..... I hope it doesn't get too heavy later on, as I always worry about my dear "Crabby Cabbie" out driving around in not so desirable weather, especially throughout the evening and wee hours of the morning."
I am looking forward to trying a new recipe tomorrow, which I had come across earlier today, for a Broccoli Braid which appealed to me after I had read it. Really, and to think I have all the ingredients for it on hand as well ! I am so very impressed with this fact.
This was how my Friday the 13th went with good news knowing I STILL have pneumonia, but now have NEW MEDS that should start looking after the infection, along with the thoughts of ENERGY being returned in the days ahead ..... oh I am so HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY about this !!!
With this all behind me, I am thinking I will just take it easy the remainder of the evening, and look forward to my tomorrow, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard".

I began practicing Buddhism in 1991. It helped me harmonize my life and see that any problems I faced were mine to resolve. Several years ago, I began experiencing headaches regularly as well as visual impairment. I had recently begun working as a nurse. At first, I thought these symptoms were due to my sinusitis, but I noticed that they became more frequent during my nighttime shifts.
On one occasion, the pain lasted for five days--I tried painkillers to ease the symptoms, but they didn't work. Then, it was as if a bomb exploded. In addition to the pain, I began experiencing acute nausea and dizziness--everything became blurry. I was taken to the emergency room, and a tomography revealed that I had a huge tumor in the front part of my brain. I was told I needed surgery as soon as possible. It would be a complicated operation. The brain tumor was pressing the right-side optical nerve; the doctors really didn't know what to expect. I knew that even if I survived the surgery, I could end up suffering from recurrent seizures. I was scared but managed to remain calm.
The surgery lasted 13 hours, but it ended in success. I was fortunate to have one of the best neurosurgeons in the country. My head and face had swelled up to about twice the normal size. When I was released from the hospital several days later, my immediate concern was for my daughter and son. They were both nervous and sad--I was shocked when my son couldn't recognize me. I worried what effect all this would have on them. My concern for them helped me think less about my own problems.
When the swelling decreased, I realized that I couldn't see with my right eye. Also, my forehead was deformed, and I needed reconstructive surgery.
At this point I realized I had a choice. I could be defeated by my suffering, or I could resolve to "change poison into medicine" and transform this negative and painful situation into something positive. I chose the latter and, with my Buddhist practice, that became my focus.
My family, friends and fellow SGI members were incredibly supportive throughout all of this. Whenever I felt like giving in, they continued to encourage me. Moreover, I realized that I was able to encourage others through my experience of battling cancer.
Two months later, with my doctor's approval, I went back to school to pursue a bachelor's degree in pharmaceutical science. Although I've lost complete vision in my right eye, I am working as a clinical clerk at the same hospital I worked at previously and am also involved in a geriatric medical program where we offer food, medication and assistance to elderly people in need. I find deep satisfaction in exploring humanistic approaches to patient care together with my coworkers.
After everything I have gone through, I have profound appreciation for the fact that I am alive, and I feel a deep sense of satisfaction that I am able to contribute to the well-being of others through my work. I also feel huge gratitude for the support and encouragement I received throughout my ordeal. Without it, things would have been so much more difficult. My children are well and bring me great joy, which I derive also from my determination to raise them so that they will grow into individuals who can contribute to the development and peace of our country.

Muhammad Kenyatta
Muhammad I. Kenyatta, born Donald Brooks Jackson (March 3, 1944 – January 6, 1992), was an African-American professor, civil rights leader and politician.[1]
In the 1960s, he worked for the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which sought to include black participation in politics. In 1969 he was elected national Vice-President of the Black Economic Development Conference and President of the Greater Philadelphia branch of the organization which was focused on ending poverty in communities of color which they outlined in the 'Black Manifesto'.
Kenyatta ran for the mayorship of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1975.[2]
Donald Brooks Jackson was born in 1945 in the West End of Chester, Pennsylvania. He attended a segregated elementary school and was ordained a minister in the Calvary Baptist Church in Chester at the age of 14. He was married to Mary Kenyatta and had a daughter and two sons and two grand children (Malcolm Kenyatta). Jackson changed his name to Muhammad Kenyatta to honor Elijah Muhammad, leader of the Nation of Islam and Jomo Kenyatta, Pan-Africanist and leader of Kenya.[1] Kenyatta attended Harvard Divinity School, where he was a Merrill Fellow (1973–74), and received his bachelor's degree from Williams College in 1981. He earned his degree three years later from Harvard Law School and was a Harvard fellow in public interest law in 1984-85. Pan African Project
Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party/CORE/Black Economic Development Corporation[edit]
In the mid to late 1960s Kenyatta was an organizer for the Head Start Program (intended to help impoverished children catch up academically). He supported the occupation of a building owned by Quakers (who had helped blacks resist white racism), demanding they pay reparations. Boston Phoenix Jan. 18, 1983
He also worked then for the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, a group that encouraged black participation in Southern politics. It was at this time that he received a letter found to have been forged by three F.B.I. agents working in the Cointelpro program that was aimed at disrupting and discrediting people considered dangerously radical. The letter threatened Kenyatta with warnings to stay away from Tougaloo College in Mississippi, where he had been a student. He left Mississippi, but later sued the Government for violating his constitutional right to free speech. A university spokesman, Arthur Page, said the suit finally came to trial in Jackson, Miss., in 1985, but the jury did not decide in his favor.
Back in Philadelphia Kenyatta continued his activism. In 1969 he was elected as national Vice President of the Black Economic Development Conference which set as its guiding document the Black Manifesto which among many things called for reperations for black people.
Harvard University boycott[edit]
Kenyatta gained prominence in the Harvard community as an organizer of a nationally controversial boycott of a Law School civil rights course. The boycott protests the assignment of Jack Greenberg, director-counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, as co-instructor of "Racial Discrimination and Civil Rights." Students had hoped the Law School administration would see the course as an opportunity to add a minority faculty member to its 58-man, one-woman, one-Black tenured staff. Instead, Vorenberg, appointed Greenberg, who is white, and J. Levonne Chambers, Black president of the NAACP fund, who has declined a permanent position on the faculty.
Neither man will replace Derrick A. Bell, the Black tenured professor who taught the course until leaving the Law School in 1980. In addition, students question the ability of a white man, who has not experienced racism, to teach the course as well as a Black.
As the president of the Black Law Students Association (BLSA), Kenyatta was an active spokesman for the boycott both inside and outside Harvard. Minority groups chose him last spring to write a letter explaining the boycott to Greenberg and Chambers. Law School Dean James Vorenberg sent a copy of that letter, along with a draft containing his own anti-boycott stance, to law students over the summer. The national media quoted from it in articles about the boycott, most of which criticized the boycotting student for what one columnist called "banal ethnocentrism."
In addition to his anger about what he saw as indifference to minority concerns at the Law School. Kenyatta had reservations about the teachers themselves. "They represent civil rights strategies from the 1950s," he said. "They are woefully out of date with what is going on in this country." The economic conditions of American Blacks are worse than they were ten years ago, he claimed, blaming this in part to the failure of past civil rights strategies.
Kenyatta thought the affirmative action controversy at the Law School was only a part of a national problem. Economic issues, he said, are the most important concern for Blacks in America today, and affirmative action is "a key concept" for helping Blacks escape poverty. Attacking the trend against affirmative action, he insists. "We have to fight to broaden it at the very time institutional America is trying to kill it."
Philadelphia mayoral run[edit]
Kenyatta ran for the Democratic nomination for Mayor of Philadelphia in 1975. At the time, Frank L. Rizzo—whom Kenyatta calls "the George Wallace of the North"—was up for reelection and being challenged by a white liberal state senator, Louis G. Hill, for the party's nomination. Hill was counting on support from the city's Black population to beat Rizzo, and most of the city's Black leaders gave it to him.
Kenyatta did not support Hill, however: he ran for the Democratic nomination himself. The Philadelphia media paid a great deal of attention to his candidacy, in part because he had just completed a highly publicized citizens' campaign against a "Black Mafia" drug ring in the city. Although Kenyatta says he entered the race because he did not think Hill was really any better than Rizzo, critics have accused him of deliberately splitting the Black vote so Rizzo would win. But Kenyatta denied and continues to deny that he made any deals with Rizzo in exchange for his protest candidacy. Party leaders passed up many good Black candidates for Hill, he says.
International work[edit]
For years, Kenyatta was vice chairman of the Pan African Skills Project, an international education program including the United States, Tanzania and Ghana, and was a permanent representative to the United Nations nongovernmental organizations section. He helped to organize the Western New York Chapter of Trans-Africa, a Washington-based lobbying group for African and Caribbean interests.[1]
Kenyatta was a visiting professor at the University at Buffalo School of Law from 1988 until his death. He had long been in ill health, said university officials, who added that the professor had suffered complications from diabetes and was hospitalized at the time of his death.[1]
Kenyatta's grandson Malcolm Kenyatta, is an active community and LGBT advocate in Philadelphia.

"That was a bit of a surprise because against West Coast [the week before] he did a bit of damage as well."
Barry Hall
"I grew up in New Jersey, but somehow always knew I was a West Coast girl. We have so many available and wonderful local foods in the Pacific Northwest. It shouldn't be so hard to plan them into seasonal menus and meals."
Becky Selengut
"We've encouraged ranchers along the Gulf Coast to move their livestock to safer places, preferably to higher ground."
Beverly Boyd
"The West Coast offense in general is extremely wordy, a lot of terms, and usually it's much different than most other systems, especially an option system. That will be new for everybody."
Bill Diedrick
"We think it's important for consumers everywhere on the West Coast to talk about these kinds of issues, particularly in light of concerns people have had about high fuel prices and concentration of refining capacities on the Gulf Coast."
Bill Kidd
"Gulf Coast gasoline and diesel margins are at record levels for April. The forward curve is showing these record margins continuing through the summer."
Bill Klesse
"There are sharks all over, up and down the whole entire Gulf Coast, ... How do you warn someone that there are sharks out there all the time anyway?"
Bob Clark
"Even though he has been part of this West Coast Offense, all of them go different ways. It kind of splinters off, and you head your own direction. So, some of the things that Detroit was doing, we are not doing the same way here. He has to learn the way you are doing it and how you are reading it and how you are looking at it and our verbiage."
Brad Childress
"We have built several hundred homes on the Central Coast. We want every buyer to be happy with their Hertel home. We regret that this situation has developed and we are eager to help resolve it once and for all."
Bob Fowler
"The gulf coast region has been hit hard by two major hurricanes and is going to need federal assistance at several levels, ... The best way to make sure that the resources are targeted properly is for us to see this area firsthand. I am pleased that members from both sides of the aisle share my commitment to making sure that the relief effort is targeted and managed as efficiently as possible."
Bob Goodlatte
