Houston film reviewer Jake Hamilton, who has a segment called "Jake's Takes" on Fox 26 Morning News Extra, has received a positive reaction from viewers after he refused to say the "n-word" on the air, at the provocation of Samuel L. Jackson.
Hamilton asked Jackson a question about the use of the word in Quentin Tarantino's controversial film, "Django Unchained," and the following verbal exchange ensued:
Jackson: "We're not going to have this conversation unless you say it."
Hamilton: "I don't want to say it."
Jackson: "Oh, come on!"
Hamilton: "Will you say it?"
Jackson: "Oh, (expletive) no. That's not the same thing."
Hamilton: "Why do you want me to say it?"
Jackson: "They're gonna bleep it when you say it on your show. Say it!"
Hamilton: "I can't. If I say it this question won't make air."
Watch the full conversation here (foul language alert):
The two eventually moved on to a less-uncomfortable topic, and Hamilton told Entertainment Weekly that he has no hard feelings over the exchange.
"He doesn't suffer any fools, and he's the kind of guy I feel like I have to step up my game as a reporter," Hamilton said. "I look forward to interviewing him again."
The interview took place about two weeks ago but began to receive national attention when it was posted on Reddit on New Year's Day.
"Jakes Takes" Twitter followers shared their support on Wednesday.
"@JakesTakes reading the reddit stuff, you were right in not saying it, it's just a word but that word can cause a whole heap of trouble :/," Jesus Vega (@CosmicTropic) tweeted.
User Gaby Cam (@gaby_cam) agreed: "@JakesTakes btw I saw it and I think you were a gentleman and did the right thing. You are a pro."
Hamilton wrapped up his feelings on his newfound fame in the wee hours of Thursday morning, telling followers that the experience has been surreal.
"Today has been a really long and strange day. I can't thank you all enough for your warm words of support. Back to normal tomorrow…right?"
What do you think of the interview? Do you think Hamilton should have said the word?
In case you wonder what might have happened if he had, here's another Samuel L. Jackson interview (which contains foul language) in which the conversation goes a little differently.

Ronnie James Dio's 'Childhood Home' Up for Sale on eBay
Admirers of the late great Ronnie James Dio, it's time to load up your PayPal accounts and get bidding! According to an eBay listing, the legendary heavy metal singer's childhood home is being auctioned off on the electronic bidding website — and the bidding starts at $90,000.
The seller of the house in Cortland, N.Y., notes that he "hopes that a TRUE Dio fan can get this house and enjoy owning a piece of heavy metal history. This is the house Ronnie grew up in, wrote songs in, had parties in, and played in!" His description goes to include stories of speaking to the singer, in which Dio recounts burying a trunk on the grounds.
What was in the trunk? We're not sure — it's still underground. So if you end up getting the house, dig that sucker up pronto, would you? We're assuming it's a dragon. The auction ends on Aug 31. That leaves just a few more weeks for your chance to move into a new home rich with heavy metal history.

Yes! I doubt I'll find time to play this for a while, but it's been years since I played Ever 17 so I'm certainly looking forward to it. Might be a while before the rest of the series is translated too.

So, I just finished playing Remember11 and oh wow, what can I say... its crap.
Mind you, its coming from a person who rated Ever17 as 11 out 10.
Remember11 is at best 6/10.
Plot twists are either predictable or lame, characters are boring, storytelling is full of cliche moments (*protagonist gets stabed* "Who...?" *turns around* You... YOU ARE...! *THE END*), and the settings is as blend as it could be: A hut at top of the snowy mountain and family house disguised as a bunker-like building in middle of snowy nowhere.
But its true that Remember11 starts great - the main plot twist is revealed instantly (tho, it would be hard to conceal it) and constant switches between main characters keeps you on the edge of the sit, however initial shock factor is slowly dispelled over those few hours it takes for Kokoro route to end. Furthermore personality switches turn out to be simply a gimmick and creators dont do anything note-worthy with it; Kokoro usually ends up running away from some person trying to kill her in Satoru's body, while Satoru in Kokoro's body is just killing time while waiting for next transfer. POINTLESS.
Basically whole storytelling reminds me of LOST (that TV show) - it starts great but with each season you start to notice that this isnt going anywhere, except for getting more silly by the minute. By the way, just like LOST it also puts a lot of references (to religion mostly) but it doesnt do anything with it - remove it and no one would notice.
To sum up it up, here is something from Remember11 - one of the TIPS mentions "Deus Ex Machina" and defines it as "a plot device whereby a previously intractable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with a contrived introduction of a new character, ability, or object" also pointing it out that "its considered a poor storytelling", and guess what? Remember11 does exactly that; in Satoru's route a man shows up (never before introduced) and explains everything to him! With the lamest explanation ever by the way.
Final verdict: disappointing.

It's really hit or miss. If you don't like mysteries and being thrown clues to figure out how everything fits together, it's really not for you. You were probably looking for something else when you signed up for it. There's no game that caters to everyone.
That said, I can't in good faith call this crap with all the real crap that's out there.

And tell me where's the predictable part?
And why he just explained things like that, I guess you haven't got all the endings yet to know his relation with Satoru.
And I don't think it's lame if we consider the plan to summon BW

Considering the fact I've considered Ever17 as a masterpiece, remaining as an eternal recommended VN I would suggest to any of my peers, I was expecting a lot from Remember11 as well.
And suffice to say, my reaction is as follow: I'm quite disappointed in this Infinity episode.
Of course, I wasn't expecting a carbon copy of E17, but R11 was completely astray from its ambitious plot after a few hours. Anyhow, let's start a bit this review:
[Non Spoiler Part]
First and foremost, I must say that my first biggest issue with R11 was definitely the characters: I just barely could empathize with some of them, while I couldn't care less about the majority of them.
This is something that could be sidetracked in your conventional mystery plot, but for fictions such like R11, it just doesn't cut it: it just puts a severe issue with the tension and the drama that dwells with the characters' problems.
Because of this, it was extremely difficult for me to relate with most of them during the "climatic" portions of the story.
Worse, some characters are actually -complete plot devices- and hardly allow a proper flow of the story. It is extremely irritating for me as the reader to be basically left in the shadows when a said character knows something but for whatever reason just keep their trap shut: there is no foreshadowing or clues, it is an outright annoying attempt to conseal information that makes the whole mystery forced.
The plot itself was interesting, that's certain. And for that matter, I have no issue to admit that the setup wasn't slow on being appealing with a lot of events thrown at us.
In fact, R11 was able to give something that E17 couldn't: tension and sometimes creeps (although only with events, not really due to the characters).
Unlike E17 that was rather laidback with the succession of the events, R11 was showing the merciless situation occuring in Mount Akakura. It was certainly portrayed accurately in term of survival situation, and the tips were insightful enough to have a broad idea of the very harsh conditions.
Furthermore, the "switch" concept was clever and progressively becomes engrossing considering the random nature of its timing...at the beginning though.
However, the storytelling couldn't keep it up. While the pace was pretty decent, the presentation of the events and the successive revelations and twists weren't written with much consistency. For this very reason, the plot of R11 becomes bipolar: merciless with very occulted critical information, then suddenly unleashing information you could hardly even compute all at once, due to its brutal and inconsistent timing.
I understand why Satoru's route is only available once Kokoro's is done (a bit like a "question" arc, then an "answer" arc a la higurashi), however it just doesn't make sense for the plot to use devices to proceed with the twists, while the context could allow foreshadowing and so forth.
Such bipolarity becomes all too detrimental to a proper and progressive storytelling, which was well layered for E17.
The readers who were actively trying to figure what is going on and wondering what will be the fate of the characters quickly become unable overwhelmed by a sense of "futility" considering how unnatural everything is explained (which doesn't affect the credibility of the truth, but rather again the fashion of how the information is presented).
But my biggest gripe was probably how... unconclusive the ending was. I understand that no writer is bound to spoonfeed their readers with a smashing ending with everything explained. However, I see little to no reason for said writer not to include every tidbits in the plot.
This is where the TIPS system becomes a chore: whereas it was first used as a handy source of explanations of obscure terms, it becomes a source of information that neither the reader nor even the characters could figure out.
I believe it is fair play for the writer to confuse the readers with concepts and information that should only be assembled within a precise context. However, it is no fair when the "external" information itself is only offered when you go through an obnoxious number of bad ends whereas the "internal" information given by the plot is quite minimal.
I understand that you can only discover the intent and motivations of certain characters under specific and extreme situations, but even so, when it isn't enough to have the full puzzle, it is just worthless.
To add insult to the injury, the "ending" that is supposed to conclude the story is abruptly ended with 2 cliffhangers.
The problem isn't the reason of the cliffhangers since they could be expected beforehand. However, it leaves a very bad aftertaste for the reader, who was invested in the mystery and then being dumped halfway as if the following events due to these 2 cliffhangers weren't necessary, which is arguably the complete opposite.
And that very poor choice from the writers lower the chances for the readers to have a full idea of certain characters but also deny them to learn the true fate of the full cast.
In the end, I think the writers were too ambitious and definitely end up with a dead end regarding the possible events that would tie everything.
I can't say that R11 is bad: if it was, it would definitely not be able to entice curiosity and enjoyment in some occasions (although a good portion of the "humor" was pretty much misplaced).
However, there is really nothing that can elevate this game into a "great VN", regardless how deep the truth is considering the way to reach this truth is overly silly.
Nice, but nonetheless big disappointment.

^Don't agree that the chaos was the fault of the writer(s?) not being able to bring it all together. I'm sure the entire story outline's typed out in full somewhere in someone's harddrive.
I've said this before but I'll say it again. As a crappy writer hobbyist, I can tell you that it takes skill to be able to bring that much emotion out of a reader on purpose (be it admiration or rage) and balls of steel to end it how he did. Try even imagining something up that comes close.

I've only just finished Kokoro's route, but I'm prepared for the non-conclusive ending. As for your gripe about the characters, I guess I'm okay with most of them- the only one I hate is Mayuzumi, for obvious reasons. I like Kokoro and Yuni, don't know enough about Satoru to have an opinion on him, I find Yomogi likeable, and I don't really have an opinion on Hotori or Utsumi.
However, I have discovered something that may or may not shine more light- like Ever17, Remember11 has two Drama CDs- one that's a single disk (like 2035) and one that's told over the Character CDs (like After You've Gone, except there's 6 parts instead of 5.). But I understand that at the same time it may reveal nothing, but since Ever17's Drama CDs cleared up at least a few loose ends from the game, maybe this one will be the same.
I can't find them as mp3s online, however, and so I will have to buy the CDs. Fortunately, they're avaliable at cheap prices on the Japanese Amazon, so I'll buy them there. However, I haven't finished the game yet and my main priority is the Never7 translation, so it might be a while.

I hate to disappoint you, but I think the "bonus" is a timeline of the Infinity series, not an extended ending. Specifically, the timeline goes in-depth on the days of Remember11, but doesn't say what happens after them. When I finish the game, however, I'll take a closer look at the PSP version just to be sure.
In addition, I read a statement by Nakazawa that says the vague ending of Remember11 was apparently intentional.

Oh, here's something interesting I found. Here's an article about the unsolved mysteries, taken from the Japanese wikipedia page of Remember11, taken from various interviews with Takumi Nakazawa:
In the original version of the game, Director Takumi Nakazawa admitted, "Not all of the information is presented." His assessment was that it was an unfinished work, and that people, "Would have to resign themselves and accept the information they were given." The cause, apparently, was, "I was not happy with the ultimate result, but it was too late to change it." "The fact that the truth had to be hidden was inevitable from the beginning." Again, he stressed the importance of seeing all 33 endings (31 of them being bad endings) to gain as much information as possible. "I understand this is unreasonable.", and to compensate for this, announced that a timeline of the Infinity series would be included in the PSP limited edition version of the game, attached to the walkthrough in a pamphlet in said version.
Nakazawa said, "It's in order to get those who played the PS2 version (the first release of Remember11 was on the PS2) to complete the story." He prepared the PSP version not only for new players on the PSP, but for disgruntled fans who bought the PS2 version. After taking into consideration those players, Nakazawa decided that the best way to assist these players was in the form of a timeline. Furthermore, he took several members of the staff into consideration, several who had different opinions on what the real truth was.
I'm having trouble directly translating the rest, but it basically says that the PSP version will be fun both for people who want clarity on the situation, and for people who have different ideas on what the truth is.
That's it. As for this timeline, I took a look at it in Japanese, and I think it's the "Infinity series timeline" that is featured on kgptzac's website. However, it also contains spoilers on Never7, so I might take a look at this timeline after I finish Remember11. That is to say, someone who finished Remember11 could check it out for themselves, but they risk spoiling themselves on Never7.
Of course, I could simply post all the R11 relevant events once I've finished playing the game and see what comes up. And of course, get the Drama CDs and see what new light they have to offer.

It's a real shame to see that R11 seems to be a step back rather than a step forward from E17. I'm still planning to give it a read whenever I have some free time, though perhaps it would be better if I lowered my expectations a tad bit before jumping in to it now. Then again, if it's hit or miss like Elvin says, then I'm hoping it's going t hit me where it really hurts.

Instead of offering a complete story, they deliver a unfinished one and use the mystery card in order to get away with that. I say this because depending of the genre, such device is impossible to setup without any real backlash (A conventional detective novel would turn its fanbase dead angry if the author doesn't include the "solution" sequence and the arrestation of the culprit, a romance driven novel would be considered foul play if a non triangle couple just doesn't go on after a certain point etc).
I can understand Nakazawa for not liking the final result, but was he really satisfied with an unfinished work? I really doubt that and I wonder if he imagined the readers' point of view, especially we do -not- have all information unlike him.
Suffice to say, the fact he and the other staff members were sharing a different opinions about the truth is just a clear indication that the project was way too ambitious for them: if they can't create a very "truth" basis and work the mystery from there together, that is a gigantic issue in term of scenario management and consistency.
Anyway, I can't say if I would be really satisfied with a timeline: that would certainly shed light on what happened with R11 (although I'm more interested with the AFTERMATH of the true ending), but I can't help but consider it as cheap, since it is like reading a plain walkthrough instead of having the plot narrating the missing elements.

I feel relieved im not alone in this.
I 100% agree with everything that Klashikari pointed out and it really comes to lack of necessary skills by Remember11 creators to pull of this ambitious plot.
Also, there is one thing Ive noticed...
Spoiler for epilogue:
But then again I hevent seen all ending (nor do I want to), so maybe im just missing something big, but it still doesnt change a fact main story is a mess and missed opportunity.
I dont like Rememeber11 not because its a mystery genre but because its storytelling is weak and plot is a mess.

I've been focusing on getting Kokoro's bad endings today. As a result, I've been recording how to get the bad endings, so I'll post a walkthrough here now of my own Bad Ending Walkthrough.
As a note for Kokoro's route, I've learned that there's several invisible counters that pile up, such as a "Mayuzumi Stress Counter". By performing certain actions that irritate Mayuzumi too much, it raises the Stress Counter. The only way to get Bad Endings 4 and 7 is to raise this Stress Counter too high (in #7) or too low (in #4).
Spoiler for Remember11 Bad Ending Walkthrough:
I'll keep updating as I get more.
EDIT: The guide is complete.

"How was Sundance?" a friend emailed me when I got back from Utah. "I continue to hope that you were surprised, delighted and never bored."
Up to a point, I replied, up to a point.
For the truth about the Sundance Film Festival, which gave out dozens of awards Saturday night, is that it's inevitably a mixed bag, where excitement combines with frustration in a particularly Park City way. Those of us who return every year do so because we believe in Sundance's independent mission, and just enough small wonders appear to keep us hooked.
In terms of the dramatic films it features, Sundance remains the nonpareil launching pad for tiny films that would never reach maximum altitude otherwise. Without the heat generated by this festival, there is no way last year's Grand Jury Prize-winning "Beasts of the Southern Wild" would have gotten anywhere near four Oscar nominations this year, including one for best picture.
Similar good things may be in store for "Fruitvale," written and directed by 26-year-old USC film school grad Ryan Coogler, which won both the Grand Jury Prize and the audience award for U.S. dramatic film and will be distributed by the Weinstein Co.

Pigs and pork aren't affected or at risk by bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), found recently in a dairy cow in the state of Washington, stress pork industry officials.
The case "has no connection with the U.S. pork industry because there have been no reported cases of BSE in pigs, nor have there been any reported cases of inter-species transfer between cattle and pigs," says National Pork Producers Council (NPPC) President Jon Caspers.
"The U.S. pork industry has full confidence in the USDA's science-based, rigorous surveillance program as it deals with this BSE case," he says.
Paul Sundberg, DVM, vice president, Science and Technology, National Pork Board, adds there have never been any reported cases of BSE in pigs in the world. There is fairly solid evidence from countries that have had BSE, that oral transmission of BSE into pigs doesn't occur, even where both cattle and pig populations are exposed to the same meat-and-bone meal fed to cattle. In experiments, pigs were fed BSE tissues for as long as seven years without any evidence of transmission.
Caspers notes NPPC will work with the pork industry, USDA and Congress to "further strengthen the U.S. animal health surveillance system by establishing a national animal identification program to protect the health of the U.S. livestock herd."

Comida Cantina, once a taco truck and now a full-service Longmont restaurant with tacos and tequila (Girl Walks Into a Bar)
We have a new bar column here at The Denver Post that we'd like to introduce you to: A Kathleen St. John-penned column called Girl Walks Into a Bar. It's about cocktails, beautiful rooms, hot patios, bar food and camaraderie. It's about making friends with the group next to you. It's about small plates, big drinks and good times. It's about the good people and bright bars in Denver and Boulder and beyond. We'll feature one snippet a day for the next few weeks from columns that have already run in print — with links to read more, of course. (Print readers can take in the column every Friday in the Entertainment section.) Enjoy! — Ricardo Baca, entertainment editor
The eternal love affair between tequila and tacos continues at Comida Cantina, with a few spicy new twists to keep the romance alive.
Opened in February, Comida Cantina is the stationary sister to Boulder's roving Comida food truck. When it's not in use, the big bright-pink truck — dubbed "Tina" — is parked right in front of the restaurant, a beacon for taco seekers.
Inside, the Cantina is modern and simple in design. Exposed concrete walls are accented in cheerful tones of yellow, orange and, of course, bright pink. There's plenty of seating for diners, but the roomy bar is the best place to be for drinks and eats.

Family's Gift Multiplies Significantly After Decades
PLAINVIEW – When Burton and Annie Craig gave Wayland Baptist University a gift of 653 acres of land in Sunray, Texas, in 1958, they probably never would have guessed what an impact it would make nearly 50 years later.
The Craigs placed the land in a trust with the Baptist Foundation of Texas with the stipulation that it would provide monthly benefits for the couple until their death. The original value was set at $65,000, and the trust has remained in investments since it was deeded.
Mr. Craig died in 1962, and Mrs. Craig died Oct. 16, 2006. When the trust fund came to Wayland upon her death, it was valued at $535,129. The gift was designated to go into the university's endowment.
Longtime farmers in the Sunray area, the Craigs were firm believers in both the value of education in general and, more specifically, the importance of Christian education. Mr. Craig began a relationship with Wayland in 1942 when he began serving on the Board of Trustees.
In 1944, the couple moved to Plainview and became active members of College Heights Baptist Church, where Burton Craig served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher and Annie Craig helped in the nursery.
Their oldest son, James Craig, recalls the move during a World War II tire rationing that made traveling to school from the Sunray farm difficult at best. The move to Plainview made it easier for the Craig children to attend public schools as well as Wayland, a goal their parents had from the beginning. They would spend summers in Sunray on the farm.
James attended Wayland from 1945-47 and intended on transferring since the school was only a two-year college at the time. When it became a four-year college that year, he opted to stay and graduated in 1949. Wood Craig graduated in 1957, and daughter Twila attended for a brief time as well. Wood later served on the Wayland Board of Trustees as well.
The Craigs' support for higher education was evident by their help for daughter-in-law, Bettie, who earned her degree in five years while giving birth to three babies in that time span. Mrs. Craig babysat while Bettie attended classes, knowing the benefits would far outweigh her sacrifice.
That same sacrificial spirit led the Craigs to include Wayland in their giving, leaving a gift and a legacy that will benefit generations to come.
"He was sold on Wayland," James Craig said of his father. "That's why they gave."
Gifts such as these have convinced development officers at Wayland Baptist University that planned giving is not only beneficial to the donors but can help exponentially once the gift comes to the university.
"The Craigs' gift multiplied by nearly 10 times over the 48 years it was invested through the Baptist Foundation of Texas," said Betty Donaldson, vice president for institutional advancement at Wayland. "That is an amazing testament to the power of compound interest and how a gift made with much forethought can make an amazing impact when it comes to fruition.
"The Craigs' generosity will be felt at Wayland for generations to come, all because they thought to include us in their giving plans."

As the nation continues to grapple with the effects of a broken immigration system, artists across the country are doing their part to highlight the issue. Art can be a powerful medium to address many socio-political issues and artists often react to the circumstances around them. Art has also been a supportive space for people facing violations to tell their stories. And it's also a great medium to raise awareness and make an impact. We were excited to look at a few examples of how artists have been contributing to the immigration reform movement, inspiring action and change.
One such artistic movement came in the form of The Sound Strike, a coalition of artists that are using their music and reach to work towards repealing Arizona's controversial SB1070 law. The artists, which include M.I.A, Maroon 5, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Rage Against The Machine, Kanye West and many more, have pledged to work together to raise awareness and oppose the unjust treatment of immigrants in Arizona. Besides their aim of repealing SB 1070, The Sound Strike also works towards "galvanizing a new generation of ideas that reject the old ways of thinking while affirming that we are all equal." (A similar movement of writers, called WordStrike, calls on writers to boycott the state of Arizona on the same grounds.) The Sound Strike has been assisting with fundraising for immigration reform organizations, raised awareness around the issue through their performances, and conducted press interviews to build opposition and engage fans in dialogue about moving towards a more just and equal society that treats immigrants fairly. Speaking about the movement as a "cultural interruption," Gabriela (of Rodrigo y Gabriela) stated:
"As a band we consist of all immigrants and we know each other's stories really well…we can't really be down with any fear-creating laws…we have many songs about brutality of immigration process…these issues are not new, they have always been there."
Check out a piece by Sound Strike titled 'Evil Arpaio', from the Sound Strike Radio:
Another artist using his work to fight the injustice of SB 1070 and the ongoing mistreatment of immigrants is Intikana, a Hip Hop/Spoken Word artist, activist and educator from the Bronx, New York. Intikana's work with the immigration issue was most powerfully manifested in his music video titled "Arizona," which he made in collaboration with fellow rapper Navegante. Made in response to SB 1070, Intikana and Navegante collaborated to make a video that combines a 5-minute short documentary about the life of Benito and Carmela, Mexican farm laborers in Immokalee, Florida and their deplorable working conditions. Working long hours without breaks and in inhumane conditions, the couple pick tomatoes in the fields to support their family. In their work, Intikana and Navegante point out the hypocrisy in the treatment of immigrants today considering the fact that the country was built by immigrants.
Watch the full video - Benito and Carmela's story followed by the song by Intikana and Navegante:
Keeping with a similar theme of farm laborers, Shine Global, a film production company that focuses on ending the abuse and exploitation of children around the world, recently released and critically acclaimed documentary feature title 'The Harvest.' Directed by U. Roberto Romano and backed by executive producer, philanthropist and "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria, the film tells "the story of the children who feed America." These are the children of immigrants. According to the synopsis on the film's website:
Every year more than 400,000 migrant child farmworkers in the US journey from their homes traveling from the scorching sun of the Texas onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards, from the heat of the Florida tomato fields to the damp cherry trees in Oregon. These children are American citizens. All are working to help their families survive while sacrificing the birthright of childhood: play; stability; school.
Watch the trailer for "The Harvest" here and visit the website to learn more about the film and the issues.
Besides spoken word, music and film, other forms of art are equally powerful in immigration activism. Favianna Rodriguez is a well known printmaker and digital artist from Oakland, California. Rodriquez has come to be known for her high-contrast and vivid artwork that depict "literal and imaginative migration, global community, and interdependence." Her work deals with war, immigration, globalization and social movements in an impressive portfolio of stylized posters for events and much more personal artwork. One of her most striking pieces is titled "El Reencuentro" (pictured above) from 2001. Describing the inspiration for the piece, Rodriguez says:
This piece is a very personal piece for me because it narrates the story of my mother's experience as an immigrant. In 1970, only months after she had arrived from Peru, my mother became pregnant by an abusive alcoholic. Because she was homeless, the Department of Social Services took away her child at birth to turn him over to an adoption agency. With the language and cultural barrier, my mother could do very little. 31 years later, my brother came searching for his birth family and writes a letter to my mother requesting to meet her. They are reunited in 2003.
Like with Rodriguez's work, the many tribulations faced by immigrants in the recent past over ever-toughening immigration laws have triggered a slew of artistic movements. Artists have been inspired to use their talents to call for change. Movements such as Alto Arizona provide a forum for artists to showcase their work in relation to fighting unjust immigration laws. Similarly, various artists have also reacted to the campaign to get the DREAM Act passed, combining art and activism to make potent images.
We end with a short rap by Humble the Poet, a Sikh rap and spoken word artist from Toronto, Canada. His music addresses a wide range of social issues, from immigration to religion to sexual abuse. He, just like all the other artists and work we have profiled here, as well as the many others that continue to blend art with activism, lends a strong voice to the movement for comprehensive immigration reform. We need a major overhaul of the system now more than ever, and these artists are able to reach out and raise awareness for this crucial issue confronting our nation today.
Watch the video for the rap titled 'Life of an Immigrant' by Humble the Poet or listen to the full track, with music (and expletives):

ELMHURST, Ill. - It was unfamiliar territory for the Trine University football team as their non-conference regular season win streak was snapped at 10 games, falling to Elmhurst College 31-13. The Thunder's record now stands at 1-1 on the year.
The Thunder looked impressive on their opening drive as they marched down the field 75 yards eating up 8:46 off the clock. It took Trine 17 plays but senior quarterback Ryan Hargraves (Taylor, Mich./Truman) found sophomore tight end Zach Hess (Eagle, Mich./Grand Ledge) in the end zone from 10 yards out for Hess' first career score.
The Blue Jays would match the Thunder, also going 75 yards in 7:17 and using 17 plays to tie the game.
After Trine went three-and-out on their next possession, the Thunder defense was able to hold the line on a fourth and one. Trine would be unable to use the short field to their advantage and had to punt. Elmhurst would drive down the field in just nine plays to tack on a 36-yard field goal and would never relinquish the lead.
Hargraves would throw in interception with under two minutes to go in the half giving the Blue Jays the ball at their own 40. Elmhurst would recover their own fumble in the end zone for the touchdown with just 14 seconds left in the half to lead 17-7 at the break.
The second half would start just like the first half with Elmhurst driving down the field first, scoring on a 15-yard run. Trine would answer back driving 75 yards, capped off by senior Mike Inge (Grand Rapids, Mich./Forest Hills Northern) from three yards out for the score.
The Trine momentum couldn't be held as the Blue Jays would answer right back, this time driving 75 yards on 11 plays, scoring on a 15-yard pass from Joe Furco to Ryan Maguire.
Trine would have their opportunity to close the gap as they were driving into the Elmhurst red-zone early in the fourth. With the ball at the Blue Jays three yard line, Hargraves would be knocked down and stripped of the ball, allowing Elmhurst to recover. Trine's final chance to score would come late in the quarter, but Hargraves would throw his second interception of the game with the ball at their own 38. Trine would not get another opportunity as the Blue Jays were able to run out the clock.
Hargraves has a solid all-around game, completing 16-22 passes for 165 yards. Hargraves also led the Thunder on the ground rushing for 90 yards on 12 attempts. Sophomore Jared Barton (Middleton, Mich./Fulton) finished the afternoon with 81 yards on 20 carries. Senior JaVontae Hence (Elkhart, Ind./Concord) was the only Trine receiver to catch more than one pass, going for 82 yards on nine catches.
Sophomore Tyler Guzy (Coldwater, Mich./Coldwater) led the Thunder defense with 13 tackles (10 solo) and recorded one of Trine's two sacks.
Elmhurst's Scottie Williams finished with 229 rushing yards, while the Blue Jays compiled 319 total yards on the ground. It was the most rushing yard the Trine defense has allowed in a game since November 27, 2010 when Wisconsin-Whitewater ran for 324 during a playoff game and the most in a regular season game since MacMurray also rushed for 319 yards on September 17, 2005.
Trine's last regular season non-conference loss also came on the road on September 26, 2009 to Franklin College.
Trine will look to get back to their winning ways when they travel to Concordia (WI) on September 15 for a 2:00 p.m. (est) game as a part of the MIAA/NAC Challenge.

What is it? Almost a decade ago, the Buck Institute for Education (BIE) published the second edition of the BIE Project Based Learning Handbook, a publication that over the next four years supported the conception, planning, implementation and assessment of engaging, standards-focused projects throughout the world. In response to the need for an online repository of resources, BIE created PBL-Online with major contributions from the George Lucas Educational Foundation (Edutopia), the Department of Educational Technology at Boise State University, and a group of University partners. Initial funding for the website was provided by the U.S. Department of Education's Fund for the Improvement of Post Secondary Education (FIPSE).
Why do we like it? Despite the fact that the website is based on one of BIE's earlier works, pbl-online.org continues to have a loyal following of online users. We will continue to host the site as the existing user base transitions to other online resources.
How can you use it? Feel free to use the website for online training and as a supplement to the PBL Handbook, but keep in mind BIE is merely hosting, no longer maintaining pbl-online.org. There is no technical support for the site.

Press Association –
Executives of mobile phone companies are meeting Whitehall officials to discuss consumer concerns about prices.
The meeting came amid reports that Prime Minister David Cameron is planning to press communications companies for a better deal for consumers, as part of his effort to regain the initiative on cost-of-living issues from Labour following Ed Miliband's promise of an energy price freeze.
In September, the Government announced a review intended to improve the transparency of information presented to consumers about their phone bills and prevent nasty shocks from unexpected roaming charges when abroad.
A spokesman for the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) said: " Consumers frequently express anger about roaming charges and hidden price hikes when it comes to their mobile phone bills. We have a highly competitive telecoms industry and want to see these issues addressed.
"These matters will be discussed today in a meeting between DCMS officials and industry officials."
Labour communications spokeswoman Helen Goodman said: "David Cameron has failed to get a hold of the cost-of-living crisis, and it is the public who are paying the price. This is as true in the area of telephone bills as elsewhere.
"The Government is doing nothing to help people with mobile phone bill shock, nor to make clear what people are actually paying for bundled services. Why has it taken (Culture Secretary) Maria Miller so long to approach the mobile companies, and what action is she going to take to tackle the cost of living?
"Households spend an average of £97.62 per month on telecoms services, including £32.21 on mobile bills and £10.78 on internet. Yet mobile companies are getting £150 million of taxpayers' money for the Mobile Infrastructure Project, and BT is getting £1.2 billion in public money for their broadband programme. The Government must make sure we are getting the best deal for consumers."

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – In its second to last non-conference game of the season, the MIT men's soccer team blew past Framingham State University, scoring two goals in the first half and five in a span of 33 minutes in the second to give it a 7-0 victory over the Rams on a chilly Wednesday evening. Six different Engineers scored goals, with a handful of them notching their first goals of the season. Tech is now 10-3-1 on the season, while Framingham State fell to 4-11-1.
Sophomore Austin Freel (San Diego, Calif.) got things started when he put MIT on the board just 23 seconds into the first half, receiving a cross from senior Matthew Monheit (Abington, Pa.) and shooting the ball past diving keeper Francisco Anzoategui to the left side of the net. A few minutes later, the Rams had an opportunity at a goal when Nicholas Cotter found himself past the defenders and with nothing but keeper Sam Cannon (Scarsdale, N.Y.) in the way of him and the goal but junior Chester Chambers (Columbia, Md.) successfully blocked the shot. Less than 20 minutes later, Monheit scored his fifth goal of the season following a pass from junior Nicholas Diamantoni (Boca Raton, Fla.).
MIT turned it into overdrive when it returned to the field for the second half. Sophomore Sean Bingham (Garden City, N.Y.) scored his 15th of the season off a throw in from freshman Matthew De La Ossa (New York, N.Y.), sneaking past the defenders and shooting the ball at the net from well inside the box. Bingham is just one goal short of the 16 goals that he scored last season, which has him tied for second place in the MIT record book. Five minutes later, De La Ossa earned another assist, this time on a goal by sophomore Fernando Cunha (Ormond Beach, Fla.).
Following a yellow card on a Ram eight minutes later, Cunha found the back of the net once again on a penalty kick. Framingham State's replacement goalie, William Levitsky, had a great save moments later, punching the ball well out of the net. With 14 minutes remaining in the game, junior Bokil Lopez-Pineda (Eagan, Minn.) scored his first goal of the season and, 14 minutes later, senior Andrew Fijan (West Chester, Pa.) also notched his first of the season. Both Levitsky and Cannon made one more save before time elapsed.
The Engineers outshoot the Rams, 31-12, with Anzoategui and Levitsky combining to make 12 saves, while Cannon, who earned his third straight shutout and now has a record of 4-2, only had to make six saves. Cunha led Tech with his two goals and one assist for five points, while Freel led with his five shots on goal.
MIT will play in its final away game of the season on Saturday, Oct. 26, facing New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) rival Springfield College in what always turns out to be an exciting, aggressive game when these two teams meet. Kick off will be at 1:00 p.m. Following that game, the Cardinal and Gray will have just two more games to play before the NEWMAC Championships. Tech is currently still in first place in the conference seedings with an undefeated record of 4-0-1, just half a game ahead of Wheaton College.

This been quite... dead, So i'll start it back up.
My favorite Lelouch quote.
"I am Lelouch Vi Britannia, son of the late Empress Marianne. The prince abandoned by his empire. If there are any that think they can go beyond my despair, then let them try"
Second favorite Lelouch quote.
"I... Destroy... worlds... And I... create them..."
The entire scene with Lelouch and bunny Kallen lol is a good deal of fun quoting.
Another from Orange-kun.
"What ill luck! What misfortune!" Crazy-cyborg Orange.
Whenever Rakshata points out Lloyd is 'Earl of Pudding'. She says it so spitefully, it's funny (Though some of the awesome spitefulness is lost with dub.)
Lelouch third favorite.
"Those without power, seek us! Those with power, fear us!"
I also have a David favorite quote.
"This person... is the one that killed my father!" (I think it was close to that, not long after that, said person geassed David into being a puppet. Figuratively a puppet.)
This one isn't in the series, but is in Lost colros on the Japanese Liberation Front Route (You have to agree to Zero's terms and rejoin Kuro No Kishidan. Though you won't be able to get the Karen vs Nagisa CGI, along with the CGI following your chosen choice.)
"...I'm... Home." PC/Rai
"...Welcome back." Kallen
Note: I looked it up, actually. But I atleast know now.
Another quote from Lelouch...
"The only ones who should kill, are those prepared to be killed."
Sounds like a consequential karma to me, ironic how things turn out.

well a lot of people seem to be replacing some words in zero quotes the quote the only ones who should kill are the ones prepared to be killed they seem to be replacing words in that to the only ones who should shoot is people who are prepared to get shot but i cant remember my favorite quote that went something like "when you are faced with evil what do you do?do you keep your hands clean or do you taint your hands with blood and become evil?i shall become evil to defeat evil"

Ahhh, I remember that. When Zero was asking Guilford in their mock duel. The shield was quite theatrical, as is Zero's nature.
Though Guilford's answer was obvious, I still respect him for his untiring devotion. Though the same went for Darlton, rest his soul.

Dreaming Sorceress
My favorite quote is expectedly "You were my most worthy opponent. You win."
And another one...
"Hey, Suzaku. Don't you think that wishes are like Geasses? You ask for assistance of others with the things you can't accomplish with just your own strength..."
And most of the lines Lloyd has are walking quotes, since well... he's even smarter than he looks, so his jokes are mostly right on the spot)

Khronos Unleashes Cutting-Edge, Cross-Platform Graphics Acceleration with OpenGL 4.0
Open standard 3D API specification available immediately; Provides performance, quality and flexibility enhancements including tessellation and double precision shaders; Tight integration with OpenCL for seamless visual computing
March 11, 2010 San Francisco, GDC 2010 The Khronos Group today announced the release of the OpenGL® 4.0 specification; a significant update to the most widely adopted 2D and 3D graphics API (application programming interface) that is deployed on all major desktop operating systems. OpenGL 4.0 brings the very latest in cross-platform graphics acceleration and functionality to personal computers and workstations and the OpenGL standard serves as the basis for OpenGL® ES, the graphics standard on virtually every shipping smart phone.
The OpenGL 4.0 specification has been defined by the OpenGL ARB (Architecture Review Board) working group at Khronos, and includes the GLSL 4.00 update to the OpenGL Shading language in order to enable developers to access the latest generation of GPU acceleration with significantly enhanced graphics quality, acceleration performance and programming flexibility. This new release continues the rapid evolution of the royalty-free OpenGL standard to enable graphics developers to portably access cutting-edge GPU functionality across diverse operating systems and platforms. The full specification is available for immediate download at http://www.opengl.org/registry.
OpenGL 4.0 further improves the close interoperability with OpenCL for accelerating computationally intensive visual applications. OpenGL 4.0 also continues support for both the Core and Compatibility profiles first introduced with OpenGL 3.2, enabling developers to use a streamlined API or retain backwards compatibility for existing OpenGL code, depending on their market needs.
OpenGL 4.0 has been specifically designed to bring significant benefits to application developers, including:
- two new shader stages that enable the GPU to offload geometry tessellation from the CPU;
- per-sample fragment shaders and programmable fragment shader input positions for increased rendering quality and anti-aliasing flexibility;
- drawing of data generated by OpenGL, or external APIs such as OpenCL, without CPU intervention;
- shader subroutines for significantly increased programming flexibility;
- separation of texture state and texture data through the addition of a new object type called sampler objects;
- 64-bit double precision floating point shader operations and inputs/outputs for increased rendering accuracy and quality;
- performance improvements, including instanced geometry shaders, instanced arrays, and a new timer query.
Lastly, Khronos has simultaneously released an OpenGL 3.3 specification, together with a set of ARB extensions, to enable as much OpenGL 4.0 functionality as possible on previous generation GPU hardware; providing maximum flexibility and platform coverage for application developers. The full OpenGL 3.3 specification is also available for immediate download at http://www.opengl.org/registry
