This article explains how to move an Outlook data file. It assumes that you know how to back up Outlook data files and that you have done this before following these procedures. See the related links at the bottom of the page to learn more about Outlook data files.
When you use a Microsoft Exchange Server account account (required) and turn on offline support or use Cached Exchange Mode, a synchronized copy of your Outlook items is saved in an offline Outlook Data File (.ost) in a hidden folder on your computer.
Where's my offline Outlook Data File (.ost)?
You can find your offline Outlook Data File (.ost) file through your Outlook account.
Important: Don't use these steps to move an offline Outlook Data File (.ost) to another computer. When you add an Exchange account in Outlook on another computer and then work offline or use Cached Exchange Mode, an offline Outlook Data File (.ost) is created automatically and your Outlook data is downloaded.
Open Outlook, and on the File tab, choose Account Settings > Account Settings > Data Files.
On the Data Files tab, you'll see the location of the .ost file and can do one of the following:
Accept the offline Outlook Data File (.ost) location that appears in the Location column for the Exchange account.
Change the location—for example, pick a different folder—where the offline Outlook Data File (.ost) file is to be saved.
When you choose a new folder location, a new offline Outlook Data File (.ost) file is created automatically. Although it isn't necessary, you can manually move the existing file to the new folder to avoid the download time that is required to recreate the file.
An offline Outlook Data File (.ost) also is used for the Outlook Connector. These files can't be moved.
Move or create an offline Outlook Data File (.ost)
Now that you've discovered the location—the full path—of your offline Outlook Data File (.ost), you can move it or create a new file.
Open the Account Settings dialog box and choose the Data Files tab.
Choose your Exchange account, and then choose Settings.
On the Advanced tab, clear the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box, and choose OK.
At the prompt, choose OK, and then choose Settings.
On the Advanced tab, choose Outlook Data File Settings > Disable Offline Use > Yes.
Note: If the Disable Offline Use button is unavailable, go back to step 3 and clear the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box.
Choose Outlook Data File Settings, and then do one of the following:
I want to create a file (default)
Choose Browse, select the folder where you want to save the offline Outlook Data File (.ost), and then choose Open.
I want to move the old file
Choose Browse, select the offline Outlook Data File (.ost) that you moved to a new folder location, and then choose Open.
Choose OK.
On the Advanced tab, select the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box, choose OK, and then choose OK at the prompt to restart Outlook.
Close the Account Settings and the Mail Setup dialog boxes.
In the Mail dialog box, choose OK.
Note: When a new offline Outlook Data File (.ost) is created, the old file is not deleted. You can delete the old file.

About moving Outlook 2007 data files
If you are moving to a new computer or reinstalling all of your software on a new or reformatted hard disk, you will need to reinstall Outlook 2007. This article explains how to see your old email messages in your new installation.
Important: Do not use the steps in this article to move an offline Outlook Data (.ost) file from one computer to another. These instructions are for Personal Folders (.pst) files only. For more information about these two types of Outlook files, see Introduction to Outlook data files. Copying other configuration information, such as rules, Send/Receive groups, accounts settings, and autocomplete suggestions is not covered in this article.
Warning: This article assumes that you know how to back up your Outlook data files and that you have already done this. Do not format a hard disk that contains your Outlook data files before you first back up the data to another hard disk, network drive, or removable media. Formatting your hard disk will permanently destroy the data on that disk. In addition to your data files, there are other configuration files that you may want to back up.
Where are your email messages saved?
Where are your email messages saved? Are the messages kept on the email server or locally on your computer in an Outlook data file? The answer depends on the type of email account you have and how you have configured the account in Outlook. The place where your new messages are saved is defined as the default delivery location.
Microsoft Exchange account
If you use an Exchange account, typically your email messages, calendar, contacts, and other items are delivered to and stored in your mailbox on the server running Exchange. When you install Outlook on a new computer and configure an Exchange account, all your items on the server running Exchange are again available to you. The remaining information in this article does not apply to you, unless you either created an archive or local data files, or specified that your Exchange messages be delivered to a local data file.
Exchange accounts also allow you to work offline or use Cached Exchange Mode. If you use either of these features, local copies of your items are kept on your computer in an Offline Folder file (.ost). The .ost file is synchronized with the items on the server running Exchange periodically. Because your data remains on the server running Exchange, you can recreate this .ost file on your new computer without having to back it up.
Determine whether Cached Exchange Mode is turned on
On the Tools menu, click E-Mail Accounts.
Select the Exchange account, and then click Change.
Under Microsoft Exchange Server, if the Use Cached Exchange Mode check box is selected, Cached Exchange Mode is turned on.
Alternatively, you can move or archive your Exchange account items to a Personal Folders file (.pst). You can also configure Outlook to deliver new items to a .pst file, rather than keeping the items on the server. You must back up these .pst files as well as reconnect them to your new installation of Outlook.
Determine whether the default delivery location is a .pst file
On the Tools menu, click E-Mail Accounts.
Under Selected e-mail account delivers new e-mail messages to the following location verify the default delivery location that is listed.
Note: Delivery of new email to an Exchange mailbox usually appears as Mailbox - <username> or just your username. Delivery of new email to a .pst file appears as Personal Folders or a custom display name you provided for the .pst file.
POP3, IMAP, and HTTP accounts
If you use a POP3 email account, which is one of the most common types of personal email accounts, your email messages are downloaded from your POP3 email server at your Internet service provider (ISP) to your computer and delivered to and stored locally in a Personal Folders file (.pst) named Outlook.pst. Outlook.pst is the default data file name. The file is stored in the <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder.
IMAP and HTTP accounts save your email messages on a server, as does an Exchange account. As with any type of Outlook email account, you can choose to archive or move items from the server into a local .pst file. If you archived or moved items from the server to a local .pst file, you need to back up the .pst file and then reconnect to it in your new installation of Outlook. If you have kept everything on the server, after you use the E-Mail Accounts Wizard to set up your IMAP or HTTP account, all of the items on the email server will again be available to you in Outlook.
Move an Outlook data file from one computer to another
You installed Outlook on a new computer or a new hard disk and are ready to start using your old data.
Step 1: Move your old data files
Use Windows Explorer to copy each Personal Folders file (.pst) from its backup location (network drive or removable media, such as a CD or DVD or portable hard disk) to the <drive>:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder.
Although you can keep your data files in any folder, this is the default location that Outlook uses when creating .pst files.
Note: This location is a hidden folder. To use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, you must first turn on the display of hidden folders. In Windows Explorer, on the Tools menu, click Folder Options. On the View tab, under Advanced Settings, under Files and Folders, under Hidden files and folders, select Show hidden files and folders. If you want to see all file name extensions, clear the Hide extensions for known file types check box. Hidden folders appear dimmed to indicate they are not typical folders.
Step 2: Set up your account when you first start Outlook
When you first start Outlook, you are asked for your email account information. Depending on the type of account you use, Outlook may create a new data file known in Outlook as a Personal Folders file (.pst). That is good if you are a new user but probably not what you want if you were already an Outlook user, you had your email messages delivered to a .pst file, and you want to keep using that .pst file. You can still get to your original data, but first complete the Outlook setup by responding to the questions you are prompted to answer. Once you are in Outlook, there are some important steps to getting your old data back and then making sure that new messages are delivered to same .pst file that you were previously using.
Step 3: Access the old Outlook data file
If you use a POP3 account, or you set up your Exchange account to deliver to a local Personal Folders file (.pst), you need to set up Outlook to open the file.
On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Outlook Data File.
Click the .pst file you want to open, and then click OK.
The name of the folder associated with the data file appears in the Folder List in the Navigation Pane. If you never changed the display name, it is still the default Personal Folders.
You are halfway done. You now probably have two Personal Folders listed in the Navigation Pane. The first was created by Outlook when you first started Outlook and provided information about your account. The second folder is your old data. You can verify that your original data is back in Outlook by viewing the Inbox or the subfolders under one of the entries. You should see all of your old items.
If you see two entries named Personal Folders in the Navigation Pane, we recommend that you follow the quick steps in the "Customizing the data file display name" section to make sure that the next procedure easier. If you see only one top-level folder named Personal Folders, skip to the "Delivering messages to the previously used .pst file" section.
Step 4: Customize the data file display name
If you kept the default settings and ended up with two sets of Personal Folders, it might be confusing. You have two data files — the file that Outlook created when you started Outlook for the first time and your old data file that was just added. Now is a good time to customize the display name to prevent confusion.
In the Navigation Pane, right-click Personal Folders, and then click Properties for Personal Folders.
Click Advanced.
In the Name text box, type a name that is meaningful to you, such as My Messages.
Click OK twice.
Now you will see a top folder named My Messages in the Navigation Pane. You will always be able to quickly identify your data file from any others.
Tip: Customizing the file names is also useful if you keep multiple .pst file archives. For example, if you create a monthly .pst file to store all of your sent items for that month, you can rename the display name from Personal Folders to something more friendly, such as Sent Mail Archive – December 2007.
Step 5: Deliver messages to the previously used .pst file
You can use one or more .pst files, but new messages can only be delivered to one file.
Now that your old items are available in Outlook, you need to tell Outlook which data file is your primary data file and that all new items should go to the Inbox in that .pst file. The file or mailbox to which your new messages are delivered is defined as the default delivery location.
On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
On the E-mail tab, select the new email account, and then click Change Folder.
In the New E-mail Delivery Location dialog box, select the Inbox of the old .pst file.
Click Finish.
Exit and restart Outlook.
Step 6: Remove unwanted data file
You may want to discard the Personal Folders file that was created when you set up Outlook. Before you proceed, it is very important that you first click in the Inbox for that Personal Folders file and make sure that no new items were placed in the Inbox up to this point. You can click and drag any items from the Inbox of the new .pst file to the old .pst file. Right-click the Personal Folders file that you want to discard, and then click Close Personal Folders. If the Close Personal Folders option is not available, either you are trying to remove the .pst file that Outlook created when you started Outlook the first time, or the default delivery location is still pointing to the wrong file. Make sure you are trying to remove the Personal Folders file that doesn't have any of your items, or repeat the steps in the "Deliver messages to the previously used .pst file" section to change the default delivery location.
Closing a .pst file doesn't delete the file or remove any items from it. The file is no longer displayed in the Navigation Pane. You can always add any .pst file back to the display:
On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Outlook Data File.
Click the .pst file you want to open, and then click OK.

The Path Lyrics
The path that lies before us and the steps we take to move on
Our limbs to move the body and the will to make it so
What weight will slow the journey?
What test that we might fail?
Will the spirit be overcome or rise and we prevail?
So we question what's right but we never know
And we sit back and watch, is the ebb and flow
Accepting what's wrong, and we let it go
For all we have done, what is there to show?
So endlessly we travel the path we tread
For what more can we do?
Few signs here to follow on the path we tread
One day we'll make it to the end.
How cruel!
That the choices we make
Have such resounding effect paralyzed by our fear of mistake
Another chain to break and move on
How cruel!
It's as though the leaves on the trees
Could destroy all that we have become
Or the wind set astray the direction we made to be strong.
So winding a road but graced we are to be part of the path
A gift it is and everyday we should think it to finally be our last
The way's not clear and never will it ever be
So pick yourself up and come follow me
Or travel the path alone till it leads you finally home
If we could only know.

Anybody know of a great inexpensive alternative for Citrix GoToAssist? Your feedback is appreciated!
free > inexpensive, afaik
hmmm. I've had that mentioned to me before. That website is blocked by our smartfilter and it has been classed as spyware. I don't know if thats a "the kids will use it to spy on each other if they can download it" or a genuine problem.
Assuming it does what I think it does, VNC is good remote control software, various versions available free.
If the world doesn't stop annoying me I will name my kids ";DROP DATABASE;" and get revenge.
try https://www.logmein.com/
*snort* that works. good work smart filter.
actually...I could e-mail the guy and see if we can unblock it. Doesn't look suspicious to me.
If the OS is XP
Remote desktop works good
and its free
How people treat you is their karma- how you react is yours-Wayne Dyer
I know this is a little late, but thought I'd chime in here.
I've been working for a ISP, and I have been evaluating some Remote support software for our company.
We tried out some software called Linktivity which is pretty nice software, but a little buggy in my opinion.
We ended up opting for a different solution for a company called Bomgar.
You have to buy their appliance and what not, but its a lot better in my opinion.
Not sure what your budget is, but with the enterprise appliance, 3 licenses, and a year of maintenance your looking at around $8,000.
Thats probably a little more than what you wanted to spend...which if that is the case, then Remote desktop support, or go-to-my pc or something like that will be your best bet.
I've used webex several times with vendors. It's pretty easy to use. They give you a meeting ID with a password and you connect over a secure (ssl) connection. You do have to install some software. Then you give permission to take over. You can retake control whenever you want.
Others I've used:
TrackIT Remote (Add on for my helpdesk software)
Remote Desktop/ Remote Assistance
NxServer (nomachine)
I've also demoed Adobe's product (based on flash) and another one by iLinc called SupportLinc. They were ok, but I still prefer VNC or Remote Desktop/Assistance for your own systems. Then Webex when working with vendors so you don't have to poke holes in the firewall.

Obama dials up controversy over Michael Vick
President Obama touched off a new round of debate in late December when, during a phone call with the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Obama praised the team for giving a second chance to quarterback Michael Vick, who has risen to stardom in the National Football League 19 months after leaving prison for his role in a notorious dogfighting ring.
Bill Burton, a White House spokesman, told the Washington Post that Obama "of course condemns the crimes that Michael Vick was convicted of, but, as he's said previously, he does think that individuals who have paid for their crimes should have an opportunity to contribute to society again."
A number of people commenting in the blogosphere have backed the president, while critics have attacked Obama's stance on Vick, who owned the notorious Bad Newz Kennels in Virginia, where under-performing pit bulls were drowned, clobbered with shovels or hung, among other methods.
According to the book "The Lost Dogs" by Sports Illustrated writer Jim Gorant, a witness said that Vick himself helped kill one dog by repeatedly slamming it to the ground.
An article about Obama's phone call to Vick in Politics Daily drew a number of reactions.
"Get over it. This is America," said a commenter identified as Sheeler10, "The man served his debt to humanity. If you want to live somewhere where they punish you for the rest of your life, move to Iran."
Another commenter, identified as vobox334310, said: "It appears all of you law abiding citizens don't know the law. After you've done your time, you're not to be discriminated against. But alas, those who have erred will continue to be repeat offenders as long as we keep discriminating against them."
On the other side, critics came out strongly against the president's comments.
Wrote commenter archaeoone11: "That anyone could defend Vick in any capacity is appalling. I am not an Obama supporter, but I am completely shocked at his dismissive attitude toward dogfighting and those who enable it, promote it, profit by it, and are entertained by it."
Wendy Weiman of Golden, who is active in a Colorado pit bull support group, said in an e-mail to Fetch: "And I was irritated when the president bought his perfect little allergy free, non-shedding, Portuguese Water dog from a breeder instead of adopting from a shelter … I think I shall puke!"
In a blog post on the website of the Best Friends Animal Society in Utah, where some of the surviving Vick dogs were taken, Frances Battista wrote: "Now that President Obama has jumped on the Michael Vick bandwagon … all of us here at Best Friends are waiting for a call from the White House to congratulate us for giving Vick's dogs a second chance."
Vick lately has teamed with the Humane Society of the United States to make public appearances against dog fighting. He has said he'd like to adopt a dog for his family, which has also split public opinion.
Catching up on a pair of local animal success stories
The family of two little girls determined to help homeless shelter pets after their own dog died gave Shelter-Me Photography a check for $1,037 last Friday.
The girls, 6-year-old Melissa France and her 4-year-old sister, Sophia, raised the money by selling special holiday lotions. All the members of the France family, which lives in the Arvada/Westminster area, got involved.
Shelter-Me Photography, a nonprofit organization, takes professional-grade photos of shelter animals to give them the best chance of being adopted.
"Not bad for a 4-week project!" said the girls' mother, Melissa. "We hope to do the project in 2011, too!"
A BOULDER-AFGHANISTAN CONNECTION has resulted in more than $6,000 being donated to a Marine Corps bomb-sniffing dog unit in the war-torn country.
The half-dozen or so dogs help the Marines find explosives in heat that can hit 120 degrees. Due to the searing conditions, the animals need subcutaneous fluid to keep hydrated.
The Taliban, however, blew up a warehouse along with supplies for the canines. A Longmont Marine, Matthew Hill, discovered the loss when he got to Afghanistan in June for his fourth combat deployment.
As it turns out, Hill's parents are friends with the parents of Jenelle Vail, a veterinarian for the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
When Vail heard about the dogs' work and conditions, she started contacting other veterinarians in Boulder County.
Matthew Rooney, owner of Aspen Meadow Veterinary Specialists, heard about the problem from Vail and his clinic has been raising money for new supplies. So far, Aspen Meadow has donated more than $6,000 (including other supplies such as fluids) to the dog unit. To donate, contact 303-678-8844.
SpayToday, a nonprofit organization in Lakewood, is planning its 4th annual Spay Day event on Sunday, Feb. 20 from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. It is looking for volunteer help from veterinarians to do surgery, technicians to do anesthesia/prep and monitoring and lots of other people to keep everything running smoothly. Contact: email@example.com or 303-984-7729
The Dumb Friends League Buddy Center will hold a volunteer open house on Tuesday, Jan. 25 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The location is 4556 Castleton Court in Castle Rock. During the open house, pet lovers can learn more about Buddy Center volunteer opportunities, tour the shelter, meet current volunteers, watch cat clicker-training demonstrations and interact with ambassador dogs. RSVP at DFLOpenHouse.Eventbrite.com or 303-751-5772, Ext. 7312 or ddfl.org.

Legal Resources Time Standards
Processing Time Standards for Hearing Cases
The time standards are for litigating cases set for hearing were designed to process cases as quickly as possible, consistent with the due process and the Commission's requirement for a full and complete record. They provide for three separate tracks, depending upon the complexity and number issues involved a case:
- Simple Case;
- Complex Case; and
- Exceptionally Complex Case.
Time Standards for Discovery
These discovery time standards were designed to align discovery process time frames with the new time standards for hearing cases.
In some cases, particularly Track One proceedings, shorter periods for discovery may be required. In other cases, there may be good reasons for providing more time for discovery. In either case, the administrative law judge will have the discretion to adjust these time frames as required to meet the needs of the case.

11 Year Old Football Player Banned For Scoring Too Many Touchdowns! (Gets Benched)
"At the young age of 11-years-old, Demias Jimerson reminds a lot of people of Razorback great Madre Hill. "If you were looking at them you would say they were very much similar," said Darryl Baker, who coached Hill and now referees Jimerson's games. "I mean they both run really fast, good kids, run with the same style." Like Jimerson, Hill attended Wilson Intermediate School and dominated the football field so thoroughly, the league invoked what came to be known as the Madre Hill Rule. Once Hill scored three touchdowns, if his team had a 14-point lead, officials banned him from scoring any more touchdowns. Now, for the first time since, the Wilson Intermediate Football League is using the Madre Hill rule again -- to tackle Demias Jimerson. "

I was fortunate enough to catch the very tail-end of George Maciunas: The Dream Of Fluxus at the Baltic, Gateshead, a couple of weekends ago. It did a great job of putting Fluxus in its context, revealing a number of things that I had previously had no idea about — George Maciunas' colourblindness, for example, which perhaps goes some way to explain Fluxus' monochromatic aesthetic, and his key role in establishing the New York loft space co-ops which clearly leave their SoHo legacy to this day.
The other floors of this stunning building featured a Yoko Ono retrospective and an instance of Miranda July's unerringly sweet and genuine Learning To Love You More project. Both of these I was aware of previously; they also served to complement each other nicely. I hadn't heard, however, of A Spoken Word Exhibition, taking place at the same time. This group show was startling in its content and delivery: short textual pieces by the likes of Douglas Coupland, Lawrence Weiner, Yoko Ono herself and others, read on request by the gallery attendants dotted around the building.
It was a charming way to access a piece of work, inevitably involving an encounter with the attendant and the side-stories that this entails (one told me of the tourists incessantly photographing her as she sang one of the pieces). I enjoyed the reading of Vito Acconci's tale of conceptual Antarctic architecture, "Halley II Research Station: First Impressions & the Beginnings of a Conceptual Approach", neurotically revising plans for a structure of light.
The first reading I requested, however, was a date-specific piece by the world's favourite tender pervert Momus. He's perhaps my most-read blogger right now, so I was naturally curious to see what he'd written. I didn't expect to be greeted by just a pair of numbers: "2015 and 2058". Years, I presumed, but couldn't make any further connections.
Later investigation revealed that this was the title of an earlier blog post of his, in which he sketches predictions for the near future of 2015. Representing the dislocated title in this way serves to further fragment pieces of this digital fabric, hurling them out into the real world of flesh and speech without an obvious referrent -- a mischievous way to induce koan-like contemplation of naked morphemes.
This whole process reminded me of three things relating to Momus that I have intended to write about but failed.
1. As a festival bestowal just before Christmas, he collated and re-released his 6 early LPs on Creation Records, all free of charge in mp3 format (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6). There are some gems on their - particularly some of the nostalgic jungle-influenced sounds from Timelord.
Incidentally, there's a handful of gigs forthcoming at The Dream Machine, Dulwich, featuring other early Creation artists...
2. The below film, a narrated slideshow of boring book sleeves, is one of the funniest things he has produced. Hints of Peter Greenaway and Popper/Serafinowicz.
3. Having spotted some intriguing makeshift-looking storage solutions in a couple of photos of his apartment, I have shamelessly lifted his excellent postmodern storage solution of stacked Ikea Trissa boxes. It's the storage equivalent of lego. I hope this doesn't make me a cyberstalker.

Final Words from BFP
Here are her words:
Some context.
I wrote what I wrote in response to all those feminists who, during the Full Frontal Feminism blow up, kept insisting over and over again that if "WOC" want book deals, they should "go get it them themselves." That publishers weren't skimming through the blogosphere looking for just anybody who's a good writer. That you had to work for a book deal—you had to fight for it, show a little initiative, stop complaining, just do it. JUST. DO. IT.
As if there were no such thing as racism—as if there was no such thing as racism that is alive and well and present in the most cellular of spaces. As if simply opening a proposal and viewing the odd name at the top of the proposal doesn't influence how the person reading that name will understand the rest of the proposal.
I wrote what I wrote to all those people, to all those feminists, who insist that short of refusing publication (and what good is that?) there is little to nothing feminists can do to stand in solidarity with other feminists who are not as privileged as they are.
I wrote what I wrote to say that there either is a feminist movement or there isn't—and if feminists can't even be called on to point to the work that other feminists are doing—if simply pointing to a whole sphere of pro-immigration bloggers (because, to be clear, I stated pro-immigration bloggers and men and women bloggers of color NOT brownfemipower) who have been blogging incessantly about this is too much work for feminism—well, then there's no fucking feminist movement.
That if dabbling into and getting to know an actual community working in a certain way is too much work for feminism, then there is no fucking feminist movement.
That is what I said.
What I did NOT say:
I never said that I own the idea that gendered violence is the way to understand immigration.
I never said that I want credit for coming up with the idea that gendered violence is the way to understand immigration.
I never said that I came up with the idea myself.
I never said that it's important to recognize that I had the idea first. I don't give a shit who came up with the idea first—even if it WAS me. I don't give a shit who thought of what first. I don't fucking want credit for anything outside of existing. (For those who care, what I really said: There's a lot of women of color (and men of color!) who have talked about immigration. There's a lot of women of color and men of color who have examined how sexualized violence has been the foremost result of the "strengthening" of borders. There's been a lot of us who have insisted for a long time now that immigration is a feminist issue, goddamn it, get your head out of your ass.
I even wrote a whole speech about it (link not available–BUT for those who DID see the speech, do you happen to recall that long list of LINKED work at the beginning of the speech?).
Which is why it was startling to read a recent article about how sexualized violence against immigrant women is directly linked to using dehumanizing terminology like "illegal alien" without one attribute to any blogger of color, male or female, in the entire essay. There is even an earnest declaration about how paperwork is the true problem of immigration (bureaucracy of paperwork anybody?) coupled with a declaration that immigration is a feminist issue.
I do not accept that the author of this article made a mistake in not publishing any links to the work already being done by pro-immigration bloggers, nor do I accept that the author came up with these ideas all on her own.)
I did not name X because although I was pissed off, I did not want a discussion about "what is stopping feminists from coming together as feminists" (aka movement making) to be turned into "bfp hates X and bfp is ugly and fat and bfp is jealous and bfp should shut up and get her own fucking book deal and bfp is trying to patent the fucking idea that hyper militarization of borders=sexualized violence against women."
This was NEVER ABOUT FUCKING BROWNFEMIPOWER except in the sense that I BELONG to immigrant communities and I BELONG to pro-immigration blogger community and I BELONG to the women of color community and I THOUGHT I belonged to a feminist community.
This was about women of color constantly being written out of feminism, being written out of our own communities BY feminism—then being beaten up by feminists with JUST DO IT, JUST DO IT, JUST FUCKING DO IT YOU LAZY SPICS.
(I want to pause here to note three things: 1. Do you realize how fucked up it is that for some reason it is "wrong" for a woman of color to want the same advantages that white women get for doing the same work? 2. Do you realize how much it sucks big fat hairy dog cock that I have written about media justice for two fucking years and there is STILL a whole group of assholes who claim to have been regular readers and can somehow manage to say with a straight face that I want to "own" ideas and/or steal ideas from others? and 3. Do you realize how much it sucks big fat hairy dog ASSHOLE that even when I do my best to state my anger WITH THE FULL RECOGNITION that what I am saying may hurt somebody and thus ACTIVELY work to PROTECT that person while still expressing my anger–I am STILL berated for being angry, mean, judgemental, too harsh–and furthermore–I should EXPECT the attacks that I get? Do you recognize the problems with telling a woman of color that she can not even show anger at *anonymous*?)
To move on–In my post I wrote the following analogy:
It would be like Jung learning everything he learned from Frued, opening a school in which he teaches all of Frueds theories, and then refusing to attribute anything he teaches to Frued, refusing Frued a job even though Frued can not find a job any place else, denying all of Frued's students entrance into his school–and then keeping all the millions of dollars he makes off of using Frued's excellent ideas to himself.
Now, people have chosen to focus on the end point_-"keeping all the millions of dollars he makes off of using Freud's excellent ideas to himself." People have chosen to say that THIS is what I must have been most concerned about. That I want the millions of dollars myself. That I am Freud and I own psychoanalysis. I can understand why people would think that—(no, wait a minute, I can't, because anybody who is a regular fucking reader should know better, especially given my continuous "Move outside the master's house" posts that I've done) but I will give that it is what we are trained to think of as the most important thing in this world. And I was not around to clarify what I meant.
But, just as with black amazon and her fateful "fuck seal press" comment—it's interesting that I wrote a whole post in which I clearly stated:
1. there are clear racialized reasons why women of color are never and will never be the sought after by big companies, named as the leader of feminist movements, asked for interviews etc
2. that white feminists bear a responsibility (that they are NOT accepting and in fact are actively rejecting) to negotiate power and create spaces (while working alongside or a step behind marginalized communities) in which power is de-centralized
3. As a result I do NOT consider myself to be a part of any fucking "feminist movement" because to me, feminism requires diversity (We have a responsibility (especially in the undergraduate years) to demonstrate to ALL students, no matter what their identity is, how to interact with the critical thinking of people who think differently than they do. To bring this a step further, however, feminist academics who are actively aware of how power plays out in very negative ways in the classroom, have a very specific responsibility to those students who have little to no power. The very basis of feminist scholarship/academic training is to dismantle and/or redistribute the power structure within a classroom and the academy. Women's studies is nothing more than an articulation of this demand–women WILL be studied. Men will NOT be the focus of all academic work. Thus, women's studies professors (and all other ethnic studies, disability studies etc depts) have built the commitment to diversity within a classroom into their very existence–so I feel no qualms at all about insisting that women's studies professors (and instructors, lecturers, adjuncts etc) are *required* to show diversity within the classroom through the texts that they teach.)
And even though I wrote this whole post about those three points–the only thing people heard was "She thinks she's Freud and she wants money/power/recognition."
No, actually, I know I'm brownfemipower and I want to end violence against women. And I wanted to do that with all the women who keep insisting to me that we are all in this together and we have common problems that we have to work against and we're all sisters, and there is such thing as a commonality of experience between us all—as I said in my original post—I thought feminism was important because it brought women together (I had thought at one time that feminism was about justice for women. I had thought it was about centering the needs of women, and creating action in the name of, by and for women. I had thought that feminism has its problems but it's worth fighting for, worth sacrificing and sweating and crying and breaking down for.)
But how can it have "brought us together" when my implicit goal in feminist centered media justice is to write erased communities into existence—and the result of the work of the 'sister' down the street is the erasure of the same communities I'm working to write into existence? (And no, I do NOT accept that I or any other fucking Latina out there should just be "grateful" that our work is being talked about while we remain hidden in the shadows. Even now, as a person who explicitly rejects feminism, I KNOW that Latinas have the right to demand that the work we do not be hidden in some dark silent space that nobody talks about and everybody avoids even as everybody else eats all the fruit that we pick. Yes, even Latina writers have the right to fucking unionize and come into the light.)
There is no "feminist movement" because the work being done is not just conflicting with the work of other "sisters"—it's directly negating it.
For me, this shit has all been about community. I did not expressly state this in my original post. I was angry enough at the time that I really didn't flesh out my ideas fully. Having since had the time to think things through more carefully and surf around several of the blogs that are talking about this—part of what I was trying to say was that feminists have a choice in deciding what community they belong to. And they are implicitly choosing to stay away from and otherwise distance themselves from communities that make them uncomfortable or worried for any reason. This has consequences for the communities that they refuse to work with. Most importantly, it has consequences because WOMEN belong to those communities that they refuse to work with.
A former commentor on my blog that I used to really respect (labyrus) made several comments over at Hugo's about how I am really stealing all my ideas from the anarchists and the indy media makers out there. That he doesn't think that "WOC" have the right to decide for the rest of the blogosphere what is "stealing" and what isn't. These are not uncommon sentiments. I've seen the same sentiment coming from a lot of people I thought would at least ask me what I meant.
The fallacy in Labyrus' (and other people who support and agree with Labyrus) argument is the unstated idea that my connection to the indy media making community is in any way similar to X's connection to pro-immigrant bloggers or women and men of color bloggers.
I work with the Allied Media Conference—the largest gathering of indy media makers in the U.S. If Labyrus had paid any attention to my blogging, he would know that I actually do most of my organizing with the AMC these days not Incite!. As a result, I constantly linked to Indy Media makers throughout the world, have a working relationship with several indy media makers offline, always pushed work coming out of indy outlets about any major happening in protest/resistance making before going to mainstream sources, listed "alternative news sources" in my blogroll, promoted indy media events like the AMC before I was even a part of it, and have actively worked to intermingle my idea of "media justice" as I understand it (which was heavily informed by the theories of Andrea Smith—as I stated NUMEROUS times on my blog) with "media justice" as indy media makers understand it. An example—when I was blogging heavily about Oaxaca—I rarely, if ever, had extended commentary of my own about any of the events. I spent most of my time scouring indy media sources for links to articles and pictures. Narco News and El Enimigo Comun being the two biggest sources for information.
And finally—when I came back from WAM—the first post I wrote ended with a grateful thank you to Indy Media folks that I organize the AMC with and who were instrumental in recruiting me to their ranks. Oh, and look it that—I even went over to the AMC website and wrote a post over there thanking them for creating the space that they created. https://alliedmediaconference.org/node/1268
I have chosen to be a part of the indy media community. I have chosen to say—I will settle my organizing roots in this community because for whatever problems it has, it is a community that I believe in and that I think has the answers. And because I am a part of the indy media community, I am aware of the way power works for and against indy media makers and I am constantly on the look out within my own media making for ways to negotiate the power that works against and attacks indy media makers. By way of example, I spent a lot of time blogging about how indy media makers in Mexico were and continue to be violently attacked by the Mexican government. A large part of the reason I refuse "media reform" is because I see the extreme violence indy media makers are dealing with simply because media reformists refuse to make mainstream media accountable to the people rather than the governments and corporations they serve. And while I personally refuse media reform—I also don't necessarily think it is all or nothing—I have given props to "indy media makers" working within mainstream news (such as Seymour Hersch and others). I see what they are doing and think they aren't actively working against indy media makers, even if they are "mainstream'. To me–that's what a "movement" is–it's agreeing on a common goal and working together towards that goal. It's agreeing that if you choose NOT to be a part of common goal making that you do not actively work *against* that goal.
The thing is—I thought that those who were a part of a "feminist community" were held to the same sort of standards. That when a woman of color says that she will not be published thus the white women who are published need to spend more time than they feel comfortable talking about the needs of women of color—THEY WOULD DO IT. That they would say "It's the least I can do" or "What else can I do" rather than JUST DO IT, JUST DO IT. Because we are all in a community together and we all are working to create something that challenges and dismantles gendered violence and inequality, right? And if it takes writing a book that does not assume all women are staying away from feminism because they are white and privileged and just don't get it—well, ending gendered violence and inequality is worth it, right? Working together towards a common goal, right?
It just took reading Hugo's response for me to realize that I was fucked up wrong. That feminism's goals and my goals are completly and totally opposite of each other. That in feminism's eyes "dismantling" gendered violence= "shifting" gendered violence.
How else can you explain, "You better prove it" "What am I supposed to do, silence myself?""She thinks she's Freud" and "She just wants the million dollars without actually working for it."
And when "it" (as in, the 'movement') all boils down to Just Do It—what other choice do women of color have but to say, fuck it—this is no longer about a "movement" but about making sure that you don't ever fucking steal my shit ever again?
I support and honor the several women of color who've posted that the answer is not to leave, but to fight harder, with lawyers if necessary. I support and honor those women because they are fighting, they refuse to back down, they are organizing, they are sharing their strategies of not backing down with other black women and women of color alike.
But for me—a person who believes in media justice–the point was never to say I own this fucking material—but to say we must build a movement because the only way I and my community will ever have peace is if there is a movement. Those women of color who say they will not back down because they own the material—they are building a movement, just in a way that is different than I what I am doing. It may be different, but it's not directly conflicting with what I am doing. And if they choose to call themselves feminists–well, I have a mouth and eyes that I can use to find out what they mean.
"Feminists," on the other hand, are not movement building, they are actively destroying women and blaming those women for the destruction. They are saying the point of feminism is "equality with men" without even thinking to acknowledge that "equality with women" is just as admirable of a goal and maybe even possibly the first step to achieving the goal of equality with men. They are saying, Just do it, just do it, JUST FUCKING DO IT.
And so I withdraw myself from this "movement".
And I reject and rebel at the label "feminist."
I reject and rebel at the label "feminist" because I reject and rebel at silence and erasure.
I purposefully and deliberately burn all bridges to all people/movements with the purposeful and deliberate awareness that I will build any bridges that come around in the future WITH a person/movement and will require no body parts to build.
And I do so without rejecting the absolute necessity of a gendered analysis of media justice, violence against and within communities of color, etc. Because if you think I haven't noticed the gendered dynamics written all over this fucking blow up, you'd be 100% wrong.
One last note—to all those who are concerned that I'm just "giving up."
I appreciate the sentiment. It's one that I struggle with. I don't want to just give up, I don't want to "let them win."
But at the same time, my goal has never been to "not let them win." My goal has been to end violence against women of color. And while I think that erasing an entire community through words is violence—at the same time, I personally don't think that making a battle about me and X and winning is the route I want to take to achieve my goal. I want to do something different—but I need time to think about what it is that I want to do. And I want to think about it from a position of health and strength—but let's be real. Sifting through comment after comment and post after post about how I obviously think I'm Sigmund fucking Frued does not promote health and strength and clarity. It does nothing for me but waste time and energy and personal resources.
Furthermore, I can not relax and contemplate while I worry about how my own words are being used to destroy me in the blogosphere (yes, I noticed all the little rodents sniffing around my archives looking for evidence that I am a plagiarizing bitch that is just out to get white women).
Trust me when I say that I have treated my archives gently and with the respect they deserve.
I realize now that "feminism" and I stand in direct opposition to each other—that the feminists who aren't actively working against me and my community are, like Seymour Hersch, few and far between.
This has caused a radical shifting in my thinking. A shifting that I have no desire to work through online—but that I need to think through before I can act. I am not giving up. I am just thinking. And resting. And reading my beloved books and soaking my tired dogs.
Cuz giiirls, my dogs are TIRED.
As I said in my last post—I will find you, and you will find me.
there is life here. anyone reading this is breathing, maybe hurting,
but breathing for sure. and if there is any light to come, it will
shine from the eyes of those who look for peace and justice after the
rubble and rhetoric are cleared and the phoenix has risen.
affirm life.
affirm life.
we got to carry each other now.
you are either with life, or against it.
affirm life.

The following was received recently in the Career Services Office. Stay tuned for more opportunities in Education.
Do you want to be an unusually effective first year teacher in a high-poverty charter school?
If so, you should consider MATCH Teacher Residency–a highly innovative, one-year teacher residency program.
Basically, we give recent college graduates one year of incredibly intense training designed to make them unusually effective rookie teachers. We then help them find positions in high-need schools, and continue to support them as they begin their careers in the classroom.
What sets MTR apart from other teacher prep programs? 1) We're prescriptive, like a sports coach or piano teacher; you learn and practice very specific "Teacher Moves." 2) Trainees are specifically being prepared to teach in certain charter schools with a track record of "turning around" low-performing kids. 3) We have a very particular approach, which involves building relationships 1-on-1 with kids and parents, then using those relationships to run a tight ship in class, enforcing rules consistently, and pushing/demanding a LOT from our kids.
MTR is no different from the MATCH Corps (our full-time tutoring program) from Monday to Thursday. However, unlike MATCH Corps, MTRs want to go on to become full-time teachers in high-poverty, "No Excuses" charter schools. So on Fridays and Saturdays, MTRs learn about the nuts and bolts of teaching, do tons of practice, and get a lot of coaching.
We're especially proud of our brand new elementary school, MATCH Community Day, which specifically serves students who speak a language other than English at home. MATCH Teacher Residents have the option to serve at MATCH Community Day, or our previously established High School or Middle School. For more information on MATCH Community Day, have a look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGUV8Jbeu-c
Does MTR work? Yes—check out this study to see how MTR trained teachers tend to outperform other rookie (and second year) teachers:

DWTS Chelsie Hightower And Peta Murgatroyd's Charity Birthday Party Part 2 (New Interviews)
Yesterday, we posted about Chelsie Hightower and Peta Murgatroyd's Charity Birthday Party for "Unlikely Heroes" that took place in Los Angeles, California Thursday night. Today we have some video coverage of the event which includes a new interview with Peta. Peta talks of the new season of Dancing With The Stars coming up. She talks of how jammed packed a one night show is going to be. She also mentions that she's not sure if the troupe will be back (which we've all been worried about. This is going to be sad if true). Lots more below…..
Below is an interview with Chelsie too….

You may be wondering if there's anything left to say about Komen and Planned Parenthood? The anger and outrage over last week's events have prompted countless newspaper articles, television news stories, blogs, Tweets and emails from every news outlet, Komen affiliate and breast cancer advocate who's semi-conscious. Therefore, I will not rehash the specifics of whether Komen's decision to halt breast cancer screening grants to Planned Parenthood had anything to do with abortion, politics or Komen's new grant guidelines; why Komen rethought their decision, or whether Komen's differing explanations portrays them as revisionists. However, to say Komen's handled yet another incident poorly is an understatement.
While I consider much of my personal life fair game to write about, I steadfastly wear my journalist's hat when reporting treatment modalities, current thinking about the causes and possible cures, along with ways to lessen risk of recurrence and lead healthier lives. Until now, I've also tried to keep my journalist's hat on about Komen, only reporting the "who, what, when, where and why." I've even gone out of my way to provide Komen with a public forum on this blog, in hopes they would reach out to the breast cancer community, say a few mea culpas and use it as a way to mend fractured relationships and some of their own policies. While I wasn't holding my breath, I'd hoped for a small step forward, but that was not to be. Actually, there was a lot that went on behind the scenes I haven't told you.<PREVIEWEND>
For starters, the national office of Komen approached me last August. While the reason for their call was never clear, I seized the opportunity to invite Leslie Aun, National Director of Marketing and Communications for Komen for the Cure®, to openly address the breast cancer community on my blog about the rage and anger over "Pinktober," the endless stream of questionable pink products for sale, as well as Komen's ill-thought-out perfume, Promise Me, and it's carcinogenic ingredients. I suggested a post from Komen could
"be the first in a series of open dialogs with the goal of uniting breast cancer advocates and bloggers on common ground, while voicing our disagreements and working, together, to implement clearer fundraising and search for the cure mechanisms."Leslie Aun was receptive. I went on to tell her that in order for this dialog to have a chance of being successful, she couldn't defend Komen. She would need to own up to their having made some poor decisions, like partnering with Kentucky Fried Chicken and Mike's Hard Lemonade as fundraising partners. How could Komen lead the search for the cure while taking high profile dollars from corporations that produce alcohol and greasy processed foods, both proven risk factors for breast cancer and poor health in general? At the very least, I told her Komen would need to say something like "if we had it to do over again, Komen would have made different choices." Ms. Aun liked my idea and agreed to write something to that effect in her post on BRENDA'S BLOG. While she did write a post, it was a rah, rah, Komen's not done anything wrong.
Ms. Aun also agreed to engage in a dialog with readers of my blog by responding to their comments. She did not. This was to be the first in a series of regular dialogs with the breast cancer community that we would eventually move to Twitter or Facebook, to which she agreed. She has not returned any of my calls since my readers posted their unanswered comments.
When I told a blogger friend Komen had accepted my invitation to write a post on BRENDA'S BLOG, she suggested Komen was using me to disseminate their party line and that letting them write a post on my blog would make me look bad and ruin my credibility. I respectfully disagreed, saying any failure on Komen's part to respond appropriately would only hurt Komen, not me. That is exactly what happened.
Time and again, Komen has failed to make well thought-out decisions. The Susan G. Komen Foundation began as a promise to a dying Susan G. Komen, by her sister, Nancy Brinker, to find a cure for breast cancer. What started off as a lofty goal has morphed into a three-ringed circus with pink money mania in the center ring. The Planned Parenthood debacle is merely the latest in a string of insensitive high-profile failures. If nothing else, we should learn from history, but Komen seems to repeatedly ignore their history of missteps, followed by repeatedly defending them.
Some Komen critics say Komen is arrogant and out of touch. Regardless, their repeated fiascos have let everyone down who's ever lost a loved one to breast cancer; every breast cancer survivor who prays for a cure; everyone who's ever participated in a Komen walk for the cure and every fundraising partner who's ever donated money to Komen and other charities that raise money for a good cause. In short, Komen has lost their credibility among more than just the breast cancer community.
Most organizations plagued with serial failure to learn from their own history ask their leaders to step down. Perhaps it's time for Nancy Brinker to relinquish her reigns and let Komen rebuild their image. This weekend, Komen sought the advice of an executive vice president at the tony Ogilvy public relations firm as well as Ari Fleischer, former White House press secretary to George W. Bush. However, in order to rebuild their image, it's crucial for Komen to have the support of breast cancer advocacy organizations and top breast cancer social media mavens.
Make no mistake, breast cancer bloggers have the ear of millions of survivors and their families, oncologists, surgeons and researchers, corporate sponsors and the media. While the Planned Parenthood story may have originated with traditional media, it's gone viral because of social media. If Komen wants to rebuild their image, they must gather breast cancer bloggers into their fold, listen to our concerns and once again, gain our trust. Perhaps Komen should consider giving a breast cancer blogger a seat on their advisory board. The lives of our mothers and daughters and future sisters, named Susan, may depend on the strength and credibility of Komen. Please, Komen, don't let them down, again.

Clearing up concerns about cloud computing and genomics research
Cloud computing has become a popular option for scientists wanting on-demand access to increased capacity and capabilities, without having to invest in costly new hardware, storage, or other infrastructure. Genomics researchers, who produce enormous amounts of data thanks to new DNA sequencing technology, have begun to recognize the potential benefits of moving to the cloud. At the same time, cloud computing raises some concerns. Both the benefits and the concerns are discussed in a recent article "Genomics in the clouds," published in Nature Methods.
Cited in the article are Ravi Madduri and Paul Davé, co-leads of the Globus Genomics platform developed at the Argonne/University of Chicago Computation Institute.
They emphasized that the new cloud-based platform offers several advantages to genomics users. As data is generated, it can be run from the sequencing facility to the analysis pipeline on the cloud. Software from the Galaxy open genomics analysis platform has been built into Globus Genomics. Moreover, the genomics analysis tools have been optimized for the cloud.
But both cautioned that researchers need to be aware of several potential problems in adopting cloud computing. For example, Madduri noted that one must have a clear understanding of the costs, particularly when running large, collaborative jobs. And Davé indicated that supporting the analysis environment also may require considerable personnel.
Their comments are supported by the experiences of several other leaders from national and international institutions interviewed in the article. For complete details, see the Nature Methods website and "Genomics in the clouds," Vivien Marx, Nature Methods 10 (2013) 941-945.

Thomas Quasthoff Sings Sacred Classics
Sacred music has been a cornerstone of the Western tradition for centuries. J.S. Bach declared that "music's only purpose should be for the glory of God and the recreation of the human spirit". Haydn habitually wrote at the top of his scores "In nomine Domini" ("In the name of the Lord"), and at the end "Laus Deo" ("Praise to God"), while Handel, on completing the "Hallelujah" Chorus of his oratorio Messiah, is supposed to have said, "I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God himself." Mendelssohn's relationship with God was more complicated: born into a Jewish family, he was baptized into the Protestant faith at the age of six.
While these composers had a faith based on reasoned certainty, few contemporary listeners can be as confident in their beliefs. As Thomas Quasthoff says: "In Bach's time, religion was an established part of society in a healthy way. But in the process of industrial development, it became more problematic, in part because people's attitudes to death and dying have changed. Music is my religion, and to feel what these sacred arias are saying, I do not need to subscribe to the composers' belief system."
This collection, then, functions as a statement of musical rather than religious conviction: "We chose pieces which allow me to give voice to what I consider important in singing: colours, expression, beauty. But I wouldn't describe myself as a singer for whom beauty counts above all else. For me the most important thing is the symbiosis between text and music."
Part of what Quasthoff finds in these pieces is not religious certainty, but a quality of uncertainty, even fear. "We are permanently doubting," he suggests, and that quality of doubt is clearly present in the arioso "Betrachte, meine Seel", which occurs at a pivotal moment in Bach's St. John Passion. Its text goes to the heart of the Christian faith, Christ's death and the debt it imposes on believers: "Consider, my soul, with anxious joy . . . that your highest prize issues from Jesus' sorrow, how for you heavenly flowers blossom from the thorns that pierce him."
Both the St. John Passion and the St. Matthew Passion were written for performance in Leipzig, where in 1723 Bach had been installed as Cantor of St. Thomas's Church. The texts of Bach's Passion settings provide a series of dramatic perspectives on Christ's fate. The St. John Passion had its first performance on Good Friday, 1724 (it underwent several revisions over the following 15 years); the St. Matthew Passion followed, in either 1727 or 1729.
Bach's Christmas Oratorio derives from secular, occasional cantatas composed for the family of the Elector of Saxony. He conceived it in six linked parts, to be performed during separate services, beginning on Christmas Day and ending with the Feast of Epiphany (6 January); the first performances took place in 1734-35. We hear the bass aria "Grosser Herr, o starker König", from Part I, and the enchanting duet "Herr, dein Mitleid, dein Erbarmen", from Part III - note the pair of oboes d'amore, new in Bach's day, for which he seems to have had a particular fondness.
Arriving in London in 1710, Handel soon became the city's favourite opera composer. By the 1730s, however, the English public's appetite for Handelian opera had dwindled. The composer, never one to stand still, simply changed his aesthetic tack, turning his attention to the series of English-language oratorios which occupied him for the rest of his life.
The greatest of these is Messiah, written in response to a request in 1741 from the Lord Lieutenant of Dublin. Handel's friend Charles Jennens compiled the text from both Old and New Testaments, focussing on passages which established Christ as mankind's redeemer. The aria "The trumpet shall sound" comes towards the end of Messiah, and prophesies the victory over death to be achieved through Christ.
After Handel's death in 1759, his oratorios, often in performances on a vast scale, became a fixture of English musical life. When Haydn visited London in 1791, he attended a Handel festival in Westminster Abbey in which over 1000 performers took part. Immensely moved (Handel "is the master of us all" he is supposed to have exclaimed), he began to think of returning to the oratorio form he had explored in Il ritorno di Tobia in 1784.
He acquired an English-language libretto, originally intended for Handel, on the theme of the Creation. Back in Vienna, he set the libretto in German as Die Schöpfung. The text brings together passages from the Book of Genesis with sections of Milton's Paradise Lost; Haydn's setting is full of colourful musical imagery, as in the aria "Rollend in schäumenden Wellen" ("Rolling in foaming billows"), which depicts the turbulent separation of water from land as God goes about His Creation.
Die Schöpfung was an immediate success at its Viennese premiere in 1798; for a sequel, Haydn again turned to the English language. The Seasons by Scottish poet James Thomson (1700-1748) was an influential pastoral poem that, in detailing God's bounty season by season, made an ideal counterpart to Die Schöpfung. Haydn once again had the poem translated into German; Die Jahreszeiten had its first performance in Vienna in 1801.
Where Die Schöpfung invites us to contemplate God's work as awe-inspiring, Die Jahreszeiten is more down-to-earth. There are three "characters": Simon, a farmer; his daughter Jane; and Lucas, a callow peasant. Thomas Quasthoff takes the role of Simon, the jolly ploughman in the aria "Schon eilet froh der Ackermann" (the melody makes rusticated reference to Haydn's "Surprise" Symphony), the righteous moralist in "Erblicke hier, betörter Mensch".
In Berlin in 1829 Mendelssohn mounted a centenary performance of Bach's St. Matthew Passion, which had not been heard since Bach's death in 1750. This single performance, attended by 1000 people, re-established Bach as a central figure in European classical music. Weeks later, Mendelssohn, like Handel and Haydn before him, travelled to England. Like them, he found an enthusiastic audience there: Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were among his admirers. In years to come, Victorian England would take his music, particularly his oratorios Elijah (Elias) and St. Paul (Paulus), to its heart.
St. Paul was the first to be written, in 1836, and was composed in conscious emulation of Bach and Handel. Its narrative derives from the Acts of the Apostles, its central drama revolving around Paul's conversion to Christianity: something to which Mendelssohn responded in a highly personal manner. The sombre bass aria "Gott, sei mir gnädig", with its mournful bassoon accompaniment, pleads for God's mercy on a penitent sinner.
A year after its Düsseldorf premiere, St. Paul was warmly received at the Birmingham Festival. While in England, Mendelssohn contemplated a further oratorio, based on the Old Testament story of the prophet Elijah. The plan came to fruition some years later, when the Birmingham Festival commissioned him "to provide a new oratorio, or other music". He composed Elijah to a German libretto, which was then translated into English for the Birmingham premiere in 1846.

A Sanford, Florida jury found George Zimmerman not guilty on all charges late Saturday night in the trial he faced involving the shooting death of teenager Trayvon Martin.
The trial quickly became a media spectacle after supporters of Martin's family convinced the left-leaning national press that regional law enforcement authorities had declined to prosecute Zimmerman because Martin was black. Local officials insisted that Zimmerman was unlikely to be convicted of anything based on the evidence they could find. It appears that initial judgment was correct.
A brief news summary via Yahoo:
The six-woman panel signed they had reached a verdict 9:45 pm ET and filed into the courtroom around 10 pm. After the verdict was read, Judge Debra Nelson polled the jurors to make sure each agreed with the decision. She then told Zimmerman he was free to go.
Zimmerman showed little emotion as the verdict was read.
The decision from the jury was expected to spark outrage from Martin family supporters who say the teen's death was ignored by police and prosecutors for weeks because of his race. Martin was black, and Zimmerman is half white and half Hispanic. Protesters outside the courtroom began chanting for nationwide demonstrations after news of the verdict reached them.
Martin's father, Tracy, tweeted his thanks to supporters.
"Even though I am broken hearted my faith is unshattered I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MY BABY TRAY," he wrote.
At a press conference following the verdict, prosecutors expressed disappointment with the outcome but urged the community to remain calm.
"We're ecstatic with the results," defense attorney Mark O'Mara after the verdict. "George Zimmerman was never guilty of anything except protecting himself in self-defense."
Another member of his defense team, Don West, said he was pleased the jury "kept this tragedy from becoming a travesty."
Besides propelling the case into the national spotlight, the biased coverage of some media outlets did apparently have at least one other effect. One witness, Jeannee Manalao, stated that she had mistakenly believed Martin to have been younger than he was at the time of his death because the media had only shown older photos of the Florida teen.
The trial was marred by numerous incidents of sloppy and deliberately unfair reporting. NBC News is currently being sued by Zimmerman for editing the audio of a telephone call that Zimmerman made to 911 during the night of the altercation with Martin. In the NBC-edited recording, Zimmerman is made to sound as if he was following Martin because he was black. The false edit was first exposed by NewsBusters. It is highly likely that Zimmerman's victory today will increase his ability to win his suit against NBC.
CNN embarrassed itself by falsely claiming that on the 911 call, Zimmerman had used an archaic racial slur to describe black Americans. In fact, as even the prosecution later admitted, he had used the word punks. At least the cable news channel did not resort to fraudulent editing though.
One of the other persistent flaws in the media's coverage of the case against Zimmerman were reports claiming he was "white" when in fact, he is Hispanic, white, and also part black. For months on end, Zimmerman was repeatedly described as a "white Hispanic" even though other people of mixed race such as President Obama are never described as "white blacks."
Additionally, left-leaning media were fond of repeating false statements favorable to the prosecution such as the claim that Zimmerman got out of his car despite being instructed to remain in it. In fact, he was already out of his car when the 911 dispatcher told him "we don't need you to do that." According to Zimmerman, he turned around and tried to return to his vehicle and was subsequently confronted by Martin. Biased outlets almost always ignored the evidence which clearly suggested that it was Martin who initiated their conversation and Zimmerman's testimony that Martin initiated the violence. They also rarely reported the fact that Martin circled Zimmerman's car while he was in it, looking at him menacingly.
Additionally, viewers and readers were repeatedly subjected to hours on end of speculation and hypotheticals about how the fatal confrontation could have been avoided--but only if Zimmerman had acted differently. The speculators never discussed how Martin's father was providing almost no supervision to him, never talked about how the situation would have been prevented if Martin had not been suspended from school due to his own behavior. They also never discussed how the telephone evidence in the trial clearly indicated that Martin had more than enough time to return to his father's girlfriend's residence if he truly had been in fear of his life. Most Americans also likely were unaware of Martin's admitted love of fighting.
The public was also subjected to countless hours of ignorant pronouncements about if Zimmerman had started the fight, that would determine his guilt or innocence. Rarely were viewers ever told the truth that self-defense law in Florida is about whether the surviving person rightfully feared for his life, regardless of who started the physical confrontation.
While the public couldn't get away from information about Zimmerman's run-ins with local criminals who happened to be black, the public was rarely told about other facts about him such as that he fought successfully to get justice for an elderly black man who was beaten by the son of a white police officer, how he mentored black youth, or even that he was a supporter of Barack Obama and not some sort of far-right white nationalist.
The trial of Zimmerman would likely have remained strictly a local news story had it not been for the antics of MSNBC's Al Sharpton who was advising Martin's parents on how to gain more publicity (and also calling for Zimmerman's arrest) while simultaneously serving as a commentator for the Democratic network. Despite criticism from other media outlets, MSNBC never told Sharpton to choose between his dueling roles even though it harmed their overall reputation.
In the end, it is regrettable that Trayvon Martin died that fateful night. What is also regrettable is how America's elite news media willingly went along with a smear campaign designed by racist frauds like Al Sharpton who were looking to boost their own fortunes at the expense of an innocent man. George Zimmerman is not a perfect man. But he did not deserve to become a real-life version of Emmanuel Goldstein.
