Day 1 – Lincoln University of Missouri
Founded and contributed by members of the 62nd and 65th Colored Infantry, on January 14, 1866, Lincoln Institute was formally established under an organization committee. By June of the same year, it incorporated and the committee became a Board of Trustees. Richard Baxter Foster, a former first lieutenant in the 62nd Infantry, was named first principal of Lincoln Institute. On September 17, 1866, the school opened its doors to the first class in an old frame building Jefferson City.
In 1870, the school began to receive aid from the state of Missouri for teacher training. In 1871, Lincoln Institute moved to the present campus. College-level work was added to the curriculum in 1877, and passage of the Normal School Law permitted Lincoln graduates to teach for life in Missouri without further examination. Lincoln Institute formally became a state institution in 1879 with the deeding of the property to the state under the Second Morrill Act of 1890, Lincoln became a land-grant institution, and the following year industrial and agricultural courses were added to the curriculum.
In 1921, the Missouri Legislature passed a bill introduced by Walthall M. Moore, the first black American to serve in that body, which changed the name from Lincoln Institute to Lincoln University and create a Board of Curators to govern the university. The North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools accredited the high school division in 1925, the teacher-training program in 1926, and the four-year college of arts and sciences in 1934.
Graduate instruction was begun in the summer session of 1940, with majors in education, and history and minors in English, history, and sociology. A school of Journalism was established in February 1942.
Members of the 62nd Colored Infantry contributed $5,000; and the supplemented by approximately $1,400, given by the 65th Colored Infantry. Today, Lincoln University serves a diverse clientele, both residential and non-residential, engages in a variety of research projects, and offers numerous public service programs in addition to providing an array of academic programs.

President Coleman Issues Statement on State Budget Proposal
February 10, 2005
University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman made the following comments today (February 10) in response to state proposals regarding higher education funding and education-related programs:
“Today’s state budget proposal includes a midyear cut of nearly 2 percent for public universities, and continues this as a base budget cut in Fiscal 2006. This is in addition to the 12 percent cut in base funding that we have experienced over the past two years.
“These proposed additional cuts would mean that, over a three-year period, the University of Michigan’s General Fund will have been reduced by almost $50 million. And while the opportunity for capital outlay funds outlined in the budget proposal is always welcome, it does not address the fundamental and serious issue of the recurring funding necessary to plan for and build the University’s operating budget. These are costs such as faculty instruction, student services, educational technologies, laboratories and other classroom support. This has become much more than simply a short-term challenge; it now has the potential to affect our core academic quality for many years to come.
“I said quite clearly during last year’s budget cycle that the combination of declining state support and artificially restrained tuition cannot work over the long term. We are educating more students, treating more patients and conducting more research at a time when our state funding has fallen to levels not seen in a decade. We have wrung costs out of the system through efficiencies, cutbacks and layoffs. Meanwhile, our level of activity has gone up considerably. This model, if continued, will hurt the quality of our work.
“This proposal is a starting point. We expect to be fully engaged in this process, and will encourage policymakers to reconsider this recommendation as the budget is reviewed and discussed in greater detail in the coming weeks.
“I have committed to our students, to our alumni and to the state that quality is our key priority. We cannot compromise our academic excellence. The protection of the University’s academic quality will be our guiding principle as we move into this year’s budget planning cycle.
“We share the Governor’s concern that a college education remains affordable and accessible regardless of financial means. We will continue to devote our attention and resources to increasing financial aid for Michigan students as another of our most important priorities. We are looking carefully at institutional funding that will increase grant aid for students, not loan indebtedness. For the University of Michigan, a robust financial aid program is key to making college affordable for students and families.
“In her State of the State address, the Governor made several proposals intended to encourage a greater number of students to earn college degrees and to spur the state’s research activity. I am pleased to see these proposals, which acknowledge the crucial role of higher education in the state’s economic strength. In particular, I am excited by the proposal to issue $2 billion in state bonds over the next 10 years in order to invest in cutting-edge research in universities, businesses and nonprofit organizations.
“Research and innovation will be the drivers of our economic success in Michigan and in our nation. In this global economy, competitors such as China and India are outspending the United States in R&D, and our state’s future business environment is at risk. The governor’s bold vision will fuel our ability to remain competitive within America and beyond its borders.
“Only by producing research innovations that lead to the growth of new industries, and by graduating the bright young students who will work in and lead those industries, can we build an economy that will sustain us in the 21st century. Governor Granholm’s plan for research investment gives us a tremendous opportunity to strengthen the partnership between state government, industry and research universities so we can out-innovate the competition.
“The citizens of our state now have the chance to make a powerful investment in Michigan’s economic destiny.”

Scotch whisky and premium gin producer Chivas Brothers got into the spirit of National Volunteers Week 2016 by supporting community projects across the UK.
Dozens of green-fingered employees based at the company’s site in Dalmuir near Glasgow signed up to volunteer at Williamwood House in Strathtay Avenue, Netherlee, which provides specialist resources to meet the needs of older people with dementia.
Volunteers helped to renovate the extensive grounds surrounding the centre, which opened in 1983, by helping to cut back shrubs and trees as well as planting summer bedding to brighten up the area.
Employees unable to take part in the community projects were tasked to join a two-minute litter pick with Keep Scotland Beautiful, a charity which aims to make Scotland green, clean and more sustainable.
Jamie MacKillop, Risk Specialist at Chivas Brothers, spent the day volunteering at Williamwood House.
He said: “We are extremely proud to be volunteering at Williamwood House which does so much for those living with a diagnosis of dementia. By helping to renovate the grounds at the centre, the residents will be able to enjoy a new and improved environment just in time for summer.
“It is extremely important for Chivas Brothers to give back to our communities. This year, Responsib’ALL Day will also coincide with National Volunteers Week, giving us even more motivation to show our support for a number of fantastic and worthy projects.”
Investing in local communities is just one of Chivas Brothers’ commitments, along with promoting responsible drinking, protecting the planet and empowering its people. Throughout the year employees are also encouraged to participate in Chivas Spirit of Support (Chivas SOS) – a staff-inspired community scheme that offers all employees an opportunity to volunteer in local communities.
Chivas Brothers’ 1,600 employees dedicated thousands of hours to causes by undertaking activities to support and develop their local communities. A number of events took place near the company’s sites in Scotland and London as part of the day which aims to create or renew convivial spaces for residents.

Trump’s refugee ban is a betrayal of Iraqis who risked their lives for us
I returned from Iraq on March 1, 2005. I was returning from a year-long tour as an adviser to the 1st Iraqi Army battalion, built, trained, and led in combat by the U.S. military. Our undertaking was historic – no American had ever built or led in combat an Arab army. The last westerner to train and lead an Arab army in combat was T.E Lawrence, commonly known as Lawrence of Arabia.
It would be difficult to overstate the hardship and dangers the first American advisory team lived through. Our Iraqi soldiers shared the danger. Our combat included the 2nd Battle of Fallujah in November – December 2004. Several of our Iraqi soldiers were abducted and tortured. Several were assassinated, including by beheading. And their families were subject to the same atrocities.
The inclusion of Iraq, and of people already in the U.S., makes no sense. Iraq is – at least in name – an ally. We have American troops right now as I write this, working with Iraqi forces in combat against ISIS in/around Mosul. There are Iraqi interpreters right now risking their lives, their families, what treasure they might have, and their sacred honor – for the sake of the U.S. war in Iraq. The executive order signed by the President is ill-conceived, and misses its target. The extension of the ban to green card (recently reversed) and Special Immigrant Visas holders endangers our troops currently in contact, and all future troops who will need the services of interpreters, on whom their lives will depend.

Ayotte: John Kerry Has Experience To Be Secretary of State
During a visit to Pittsburg Friday for a town meeting, Sen. Kelly Ayotte said she thought fellow Senator John Kerry has the experience to be the next Secretary of State.
Earlier this week, U-N Ambassador Susan Rice withdrew her name from consideration after criticism over her response to the attack on the Libyan embassy.
Ayotte had been highly critical of Rice.
“But I have great respect for John Kerry as chairman of the foreign relations committee. There is no question that he has substantial experience in foreign affairs,” Ayotte said after the formal, town meeting ended.
Kerry is a Democrat from Massachusetts.
About 150 people attended the meeting at which Ayotte also said the nation’s deficit was created by Democrats and Republicans and both sides need to cooperate to solve it.
A small group of protesters said they were worried about cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
Ayotte also said she was against raising taxes on those making more than $250,000 a year, insisting it would hurt small businesses.
Several protesters disputed that.
Pittsburg has just over 800 residents and is at the northern end of the North Country.

Story Homily: The Spooky House
“You boys just stay away from the spooky house.” Old Man Johnson loved to talk with everyone who went by his house and we always would stop to talk to him.
We would ride our bikes and if he was sitting on the porch smoking his pipe, we took that as the sign to visit. It was October and getting darker earlier, and time to ask about the Spooky House.
Billy Wakefield and I sat Indian style on his porch right almost at his feet.
We could not have been more different. Billy with straight blonde hair. My was black, not brown, black.
He was more daring than me. His family did not go to any church, my family were all Catholic.
“Now, you boys be careful out there.” He said as he took another puff on his pipe. The smoke came out of his mouth and the slight October wind carried it away. “That spooky house is no place for a bunch of twelve year old adventurers. It is dangerous in there.”
“But you went in there Mr. Johnson, when you were a fireman didn’t you.” Billy said. His father was a novelist and Billy seemed to have the same gene. He always asked as if he was trying to build a story.
“Yes, boys, I was in there once and I could not have left there quick enough.” He took another puff.
I have to admit, I loved the smell of his pipe and many years later, I still remember it every time something reminds me of those talks with Old Man Johnson.
“The high school boys go in there.” I said.
“The high school boys, are older than two young sixth graders but that does not mean they are smarter. If the police find them they will run them out, if not arrest them. It is not safe in there.”
“Is it true about the face?” Billy’s blue eyes were huge as he asked the question.
There was a rumor that one could see a face in one of the windows. Supposedly some kind of ghostly image.
“I’ve heard the rumor, boys, but I never seen it.” He blew more smoke out of his mouth.
“Yessir. That house has been empty for almost forty years.” He said looking down at both of us as he took another puff of his pipe.
“That was the Weldin house. Built in 1883 by then young Mr. Weldin for his wife. They never had children. He died in 1958. She died in 1962 and its been abandoned ever since.”
“Wow!” Billy looked to me. “It must be really creepy in there.” He said.
“Well,” I said, that is why they call it the spooky house. Right Mr. Johnson?”
“Yes, Tommy. But an old abandoned house can be quite dangerous, boys, you stay away from there.”
I stood up, it was getting close to sundown and my parents did not want me on my bike in the dark. Billy’s parents told him the same thing. “I think we need to get going, Mr. Johnson.”
“Well, thanks for coming by boys, and remember.” He suddenly looked really serious like and looked right into our eyes. “Do not go into the spooky house.”
“Yessir.” Said Billy.
“Boys,” he called after us as we mounted our bikes. “Never go where you are not supposed to go and never do what you are not supposed to do. If you remember that, you will always be ok.”
"Right, Mr. Johnson," I said as we rode off to our houses.
I heard a knock on my window around eleven o’clock at night. Apparently, it woke me up and I could see a human silhouette through the drawn shades. Moonlight shining through the night enforced the lines onto the shade.
“Tommy. . .” I could barely hear my name the silhouette whispered through the window. My bed was up against the wall and the window, I woke up and lifted the shade. Billy was standing over his bike on the other side in the garden.
I whispered. “What are you doing here?”
“I couldn’t sleep. All I could think of is going into that house at night. I want to see the face and I want to see what it is like in the spooky house." He spoke softly, so he would not wake up my mom and dad.
“We can’t do that, our parents will not let us and you heard Old Man Johnson.” I was almost kneeling on my bed holding the shade up with my right hand and stabilizing my body with my left.
“No one needs to know,” he whispered. “We will be there and back and no one will know. But I want to see the face.”
“But what if something goes wrong?” I said. I felt torn between not going and doing what I am supposed to do and joining Billy on his adventure. I really did not want to disobey my parents.
“What is going to go wrong?” He rolled his eyes. “Unless you are cowarding out.”
“I am not cowarding out.” I shot back.
“Well I am going to go there, you can coward out in your bed if you want. I will tell you all about it, tomorrow.” He got on to his bike and began to ride off.
“No wait!” I whispered a bit louder. “I will be right out.” I dropped the shade, quietly got out of bed, changed into my jeans, shirt and windbreaker, then snuck out of the house. I know that I did not wake up Mom or Dad or my younger sister.
Billy led the way riding his bike to the spooky house. I followed. We both had lights on the front and red lights on the back, so even though Mom and Dad did not want us to ride the bikes at night we realized we were safe. The full moon was so bright that we could see fairly well, although it was dark.
Billy arrived first, threw down his bike and began to run to front door.
The house looked darker and scarier than during the day. The peeling paint became like the parts of web built by a house size venomous spider. Windows turned into eyes on top floor and teeth with lips on the bottom as if the house was going to consume all who entered it. The whole inside was black like tar.
“Come with me!” Billy screamed back to me as he ran to the house.
“Billy! Stop!” I yelled back.
But he continued on and opened the old worn door. Paint chips fell onto the creaky porch floorboards.
“Lord, I am sorry I did this, I know I disobeyed you and my parents and now I feel, I will get in big trouble.” I prayed.
I stopped, the terror overcame me so much I stood paralyzed over my bike. I just could not bring myself to enter that house. I don’t know whether I was afraid of getting into trouble or afraid of what was in beyond the front door. I just was afraid.
Billy’s laughter as he disappeared in the darkness was almost not his. “Ha Ha,” he yelled. “I am not afraid of the spooky house.” He left the door open for me.
I saw him quickly become surrounded by the darkness and heard his footsteps fade off into the mouth of the angry house.
“Coward out, Tommy!” was the last I heard, just barely, as he vanished before my eyes.
I stood alone in the silence, shaking, cold and terror struck.
“Lord Jesus, please make Billy come back right away.” I prayed. “I am sorry, I am cowarding out, but I should never have come.” I shook my head in regret as I stared at the dark open doorway that seemed to have swallowed Billy whole, like he fell into another dimension.
Then it happened.
“Help me! Help me! It’s got me.” Billy’s voice did not sound like he was playing tricks on me. Neither was their any sign of him laughing. I could hear terror in every word.
“Billy!” I yelled, running to the doorway. But then I stopped, frozen, petrified as if my fear turned me to stone. I could not move my legs or my arms. I was too afraid to go in the spooky house.
Billy let out a blood curdling scream and I knew he was in deep danger. It was real. “It’s got me! Help me, Tommy.”
“Lord, please help me to help Billy.” I prayed. “I know there is something really scary in there, but help me to trust that you are more powerful than what is so scary.” I said aloud.
I then with all my might, pushed myself through my terror paralysis and fell into the house.
“Hurry, Tommy. Hurry.” Billy screamed again.
“Billy, keep yelling so I can find you.” I yelled back. I focused on helping Billy and blocked the terror out of my mind.
I stood up surrounded by the dark that swallowed Billy. As I walked straight and realized that I came to a stairway. My hand felt along the cobwebs on the banister as I held on to go step my step. I could feel my fingers trembling and at one point, I know I touched something, crawl onto my hand. I shook my hand in violent panic. "Get off me," I yelled. I don’t know what it was, but it did not bite me.
I continued step by step, not even knowing how much further to the top. But it sounded like Billy was somewhere on the second floor. There was a squeaky noise and then a mouse or something crossed my shoe. I took a quick panic stricken breath and then I continued on.
“Billy, where are you?”
“Hurry, Tommy, please, I can’t hold on much longer.”
His voice seemed to come from my right side a ways in. The banister moved to the right and I knew I was on the second floor. Moonlight shined in through the window giving me a slight view of where to walk. I saw a doorway covered with cobwebs on top. The bottom was clear of them, brushed away. Tommy must have done it.
“Lord Jesus help us.” I prayed and then walked into the room, pushing away more cobwebs the Billy missed.
Billy was sticking out of the floor in the center of the room. The moonlight illuminated his blonde hair. His arms were straight out from his sides and they were keeping him from falling through a big hole.
“I can feel something pulling at my feet trying to pull me down.” Billy yelled. He was not joking, this was no prank. He was truly panic-stricken.
I ran over to him and kneeled on the solid part of the floor. Behind his back, I grabbed him around his chest, under his arms and tried to pull him up. I could literally feel,I was pulling against another force dragging him in the opposite direction.
As I was pulling, I felt a cold wind against my cheek and I know I heard it speak. “Get out of this house.”
“Did you hear that, Billy”
“Yes, it wants us out of the house.”
I could tell he was trying not to cry.
“I can’t budge you, something is stronger than me.” I yelled, trying to pull Billy up out of the hole. Then, looking around the room. “Look a chair.”
“This is not the time to sit down. Keep trying.” Billy was almost out of his mind with fear.
“No, hold on, I will bring the chair over here and you can try to climb onto it and out of the hole.”
Running over to the chair, in the moonlight, I grabbed it, wiped away more cobwebs and put it almost on Billy’s left hand. He grabbed a leg and held on.
“I will move the chair in front of you. You move your right hand to grab it.”
I stood on the opposite side next to the chair and moved it slowly to right in front of his face. He moved his right hand, keeping his arm outstretched, so that he would not fall. He grabbed the chair. I held it down, so it would not tip and then he began to pull himself out of the hole.
“It is so hard, I know something is fighting me.” he slowly climbed up, but I could tell he was fighting something as if he had heavy weights on his feet.
“Get out of this house.” The wind blew again.
Billy strained harder but was almost free. I wanted to help him, but I needed to steady the chair.
“Yes, Billy, but you are making it.”
‘Flop,” I heard from down stairs.
“My shoe, I lost my shoe.” Billy yelled, as he climbed further up the chair and finally out of the hole.
Sure enough, he left foot had nothing but a brown sock on it.
“Forget that Billy, let’s get out of here.”
We both headed toward the stair case which was easier to see against the backdrop of the moonlight shining through the windows. Billy ran out of the house. I stopped at the bottom of the stairway and looked into the room, up at the hole and then down at his shoe on its side in the middle of the room.
“Lord, give me the courage to grab Billy’s shoe.” I prayed.
Running into the room, I felt this wind blow further against me and even louder I heard, “Get out of this house.”
I felt a burst of anger fill in me. “Give me Billy’s shoe.” I yelled back.
Suddenly the wind blew so powerfully that Billy’s shoe raised up off the floor and then through the glassless front window and onto the lawn.
I turned and ran out of the house.
Billy was on the ground face down hiding his head in his hands and crying. I got his shoe, and put it into his hand.
He took it, wiped away the tears as he sat up and put the shoe on his foot. “The face, it’s the face.” He yelled as he stood and ran for his bike, without even tying the lacings. Then he rode off to his house.
I looked up and sure enough there was a face looking down at me. I was like a baby’s face. But it was not scary, it was almost smiling. It did not matter, I ran for my bike and I too headed home.
I snuck into my house and got into my bed and hid under the covers for the rest of the night, waiting for the sun to come up.
That is not the end of the story, by the way.
You see, I learned a powerful lesson that night that took me right to this day, as I begin my first day of graduate school.
Many years later, on a trip to the art museum, in my first year of high school, I saw a painting of angels holding up the Throne of Jesus our King. One of those angels had the exact same face as the one I saw in that spooky house.
It was then I figured it out. Those were not ghosts we encountered in that house, they were angels. You might ask that angels are supposed to protect us why would they scare us?
Well, neither Billy nor I ever forgot that night. We learned something then: Never go where you are not supposed to go and never do what you are not supposed to do.
We did many things wrong that night. We disobeyed our parents, we put ourselves in danger and we committed the sin of doing what we weren’t supposed to do.
Throughout our school years, both us remembered that night and any time we were invited to places we were not supposed to go, we always said no. Any time we were tempted to do something we were not supposed to do, we said no. We never did drugs, we never got into trouble, we never missed a homework assignment and Billy and I graduated with honors from college. He is just about to start to teach English at Enfield, Massachusetts High School and me, well I am about to start graduate school learning to be an engineer.
Those angels taught us an important lesson, so they did protect us from many dangers through our times growing up: Never go where you are not supposed to go and never do what you are not supposed to do.

I spent 24 hours in Paris at the end of the summer and e-scooters seemed to be everywhere. With parts of the metro suspended for improvements I was tempted to use one – scan the QR code, get the app and go – but decided to leave that to the locals, at least for the time being.
How, if at all, to permit and effectively regulate the use of e-scooters in public spaces turns out to be a very topical question. Just this weekend the French authorities implemented new rules bringing e-scooters into the highway code. These include an age limit of at least 12, prohibition of use on footpaths, speed restrictions and insurance arrangements. The French government’s three page infographic about its new law is available here (in French).
Back in the UK, matters are evolving more slowly. At the beginning of August, the House of Commons Library produced a short paper E-scooters: Why are they not legal on UK roads? which sets out the existing regulatory barriers to their use on UK roads and pavements and hints at a possible government consultation later this year.


Below is an except of my article from NBA.com/Philippines.
An enormous shadow
For many National Basketball Association (NBA) fans around the world, the end of the 2011’-12’ NBA season stood out as more than just the Miami Heat fulfilling championship expectations, it also cast an enormous shadow over the future of Derrick Martell Rose, the Chicago native, reigning league Most Valuable Player (MVP), and the Chicago Bulls perennial all-star point guard who had torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee during Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers.
The severity of the injury brought back memories of Michael Jordan’s sophomore season with the Bulls (1985’-86’) wherein he missed 64 games due to a broken left navicular tarsal[i]. Back then, the Chicago Bulls were cautious with Jordan’s recovery and they took a similar stance in dealing with their current franchise player’s rehabilitation over that summer and into the following season.
On the same day that Rose was injured, then-rookie Iman Shumpert of the New York Knicks also suffered a similar injury to his left knee when he tore his ACL and lateral meniscus. However, Shumpert returned to action in less than 9 months (mid-January 2013) and ended up playing in 45 games for the Knickerbockers. Comparisons between the two players began to surface and many openly questioned why D Rose had not done the same considering that he had been medically cleared to play and that the Bulls would need his services more than ever if they were going to make a dent in their 2012’-13’ NBA Playoff run.
What a lot of critics were not aware of was that the 2011’-12’ season had been a trying one for Rose as he had suffered a number of regular season injuries[ii] prior to the auspicious playoffs series against the 76ers. During his press conference at the Manila Marriott Hotel last Monday, Derrick reflected on those injuries as well as what steps he would take to prevent them in the future.
[i] A small bone in his left foot.
[ii] Elbow [November 2011]; sprained left toe [November/December 2011]; back spasm [February 2012]; groin strain [February/March 2012]; sprained right ankle and foot.

“The road to Freedom is always stalked by death” –Angela Davis
The implication here is there is responsibility that comes along with freedom.
Therefore, the more free you are, the more responsible you must be.
Responsible, not just in supporting yourself with a job, but being an invested party within our government system.
Government is FOR the people and BY the people, sure, but in order to make that a reality “the people” – that is YOU, that is ME – would need to take an interest in the goings-on and affairs of the world we live in. That level of interest will vary from person to person, but we cannot relinquish all of our power to a small group of people, like a child to a parent, and expect the “parent” government to dispense only fairness and just, right action all of the time. There are simply too many “children”.
We are not children though are we? Children don’t have much responsibility, certainly not when compared to an adult. This is why Children don’t have the same freedom that adults have. As children, adults regulate and control their freedom. Parents ultimately decide what the child will wear, what they will eat, how they will behave and even what activities they participate in.
But adults? – We have to ask ourselves a very serious question. What exactly do I want from my government? And what am I willing to do for it? Certainly a few individuals do not have the capacity to know or to provide for billions of people. Since this is the case, it becomes imperative that we invest in our own selves and in our own lives, that we seek to contribute actively to the society that we live in, instead of only leaching off of the power of others. which then becomes a drain on society. Too many people taking from the pot and not enough people adding to the pot.
So it is not surprising when we see some parties in government who seek to oppress others. Responsibility is part and parcel to freedom. We, the people, must also be caretakers. Governments need our interest, they need our support, they need to hear our ideas – so we need to have ideas – and then they need to see us actively contribute to the world we want to live in.
For example, we all say we want a clean and health economy, but how many are willing to cease littering? and to volunteer once a year to clean debris that blows into our streams or streets? or to support organizations who work toward clean energy and sustainable ventures that are better for our environment? How many people are voluntarily willing to recycle?
Or would you rather support companies that pollute our environment because its convenient.
These are hard questions we must ask ourselves. Because the answer involves change.
and Change is not so easy.
Democracy is a Partnership between people who are being governed and people who are govern-ing. But every relationship is a two-way street, is it not?
This means there is Responsibility on our part. On My part.
How do we regulate Our government?
We must never forget the power is in the people as long as we remain united.
And we must actively support the world we want to live in. Not wait to see what “others” will do. Because they are all waiting for You.
What can I do to contribute meaningfully to the world that I would like to live in?…is the Question.
So is there a price for freedom?
It all depends on how you look at it:
Is Being Responsible A “Price”?

PARIS (AFP) - By 2050, more than half the global population will live downstream from tens of thousands of large dams near or past their intended lifespan, according to a United Nations report.
Most of the world's nearly 59,000 big dams - constructed between 1930 and 1970 - were designed to last 50 to 100 years, according to research from the UN University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health.
"This is an emerging global risk that we are not yet paying attention to," co-author and institute director Vladimir Smakhtin told Agence France-Presse.
"In terms of dams at risk, the number is growing year by year, decade by decade."
A well-designed, constructed and maintained dam can easily remain functional for a century.
But many of the world's major dams fail on one or more of these criteria.
Dozens have suffered major damage or outright collapse over the past two decades in the United States, India, Brazil, Afghanistan and other countries, and the number of such failures could increase, the report warned.
Compounding the risk in ways that have yet to be fully measured is global warming.
"Because of climate change, extreme rainfall and flooding events are becoming more frequent," lead author Duminda Perera, a researcher at the University of Ottawa and McMaster University, said in an interview.
This not only increases the risk of reservoirs overflowing, but also accelerates the build up of sediment, which affects dam safety, reduces water storage capacity, and lowers energy production in hydroelectric dams.
In February 2017, the spillways of California's Oroville Dam - the tallest in the US - were damaged during heavy rainfall, prompting the emergency evacuation of more than 180,000 people downstream.
In 2019, record flooding sparked concern that Mosul Dam, Iraq's largest, could fail.
Ageing dams not only pose a greater risk to downstream populations, but also become less efficient at generating electricity, and far more expensive to maintain.
Because the number of large dams under construction or planned has dropped sharply since the 1960s and 1970s, these problems will multiply in coming years, the report showed.
"There won't be another dam-building revolution, so the average age of dams is getting older," said Dr Perera.
"Due to new energy sources coming online - solar, wind - a lot of planned hydroelectric dams will probably not ever be built."
A global fleet of nearly 60,000 ageing dams also highlights the challenge of dismantling - or "decommissioning" - those that are no longer safe or functional.
Several dozen have been torn down in the United States, but all of them small, Smakhtin said.
More than 90 per cent of large dams - at least 15 metres from foundation to crest, or holding back no less than three million cubic metres of water - are located in only two dozen countries.
China alone is home to 40 per cent of them, with another 15 per cent in India, Japan and Korea combined. More than half will be older than 50 within a few years.
Another 16 per cent of the world's dams are in the United States, more than 85 per cent of them already operating at or past their life expectancy.
It would cost some US$64 billion (S$84.9 billion) to refurbish them, according to one estimate.
In India, 64 big dams will be at least 150 years old by 2050. In North America and Asia, there are some 2,300 operational dams at least 100 years old.
Worldwide, there is about 7,500 cubic kilometres of water - enough to submerge most of Canada by a metre - stored behind large dams.

Confidence in the courtroom comes from a dynamic understanding of the Federal Rules of Evidence. But not all rules are created equal. Hearsay is one of those challenging areas that even seasoned litigators need to review from time to time. Under Federal Rule 801, hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered for the “truth of the matter asserted.” What exactly does that mean?
Join us for Litigation Skills Series: Hearsay to learn more about when and how the hearsay rules apply, the exceptions to the rules, and how to overcome hearsay objections.
This training is appropriate for public interest, law firm, in-house, and government lawyers, as well as law students who have taken evidence and have trial-practice or mock-trial experience.

German prog metallers ASSIGNMENT have signed a two album deal with Mausoleum Records. The group’s debut album, “Inside Of The Machine“, is scheduled for a release this summer. The new album is a conceptual masterpiece including ROBIN BECK, MICHAEL BORMANN (ex-Jaded Heart, Bonfire), MATS LEVEN (ex-Malmsteen, Addagio), & CARSTEN KAISER (ex-Angel Dust) on vocals.
ASSIGNMENT are: Goran Panic (guitars), Gert Sprick (keyboards), Heiko Maag (bass), & Sven Pollkötter (drums).
Already combining various influences like Queensryche & Fates Warning, but also adding segments in the styles of Ayreon or early Pain of Salvation, the band is hoping to secure a permanent record deal in the near future. Fans can expect hard-edged riffs, catchy hooks, & unexpected turnovers in more than 70 minutes running time – including a special BONUS TRACK cover-version of Meat Loaf’s “Nowhere Fast” & special guest appereance of Bernie Versailles (Redemption) on lead guitar.
ASSIGNMENT stands for music without boundaries, as our musical influences are spread over the whole Rock & Metal genre. From Death Metal to Progressive Rock but having always the focus on the melodies and arrangements. Therefore, we call our style ART METAL!

The Savage Model 11 Scout Rifle looks to be a versatile and accurate do-it-all rifle loaded with features.
Gunsite Academy in Paulden, Arizona, is offering the ideal training for hunters, whether you’re an old pro tuning up for another adventure or a first-timer.
The Ruger Gunsite Scout Rifle, a concept envisioned by Col. Jeff Cooper, is reintroduced as a do-it-all shooter in another versatile caliber.
The successful Ruger Scout Rifle — originally chambered in the heavier-hitting .308 cartridge — will now be offered in 5.56 NATO, making it both a practical scout-style rifle for tactical use and a sweet varmint hunting rig.
Riflemen crave more hits at greater distance. This hardware surely marches to that beat. Wayne van Zwoll provides long range shooting tips on the rifles that really reach out there.

They’re the forgotten ones in the heated debate over assisted suicide — the doctors.
Up until now, discussion of the issue has focused exclusively on patients. However, a new Canadian Medical Association survey that shows only about one-quarter of doctors would be willing to participate in an assisted suicide should act as a warning to all. Suddenly, the doctors’ perspective comes into plain view — doctors do not want to help kill people.[Full text]

No it won't feature Blanka, Chun-Li, or Zangief, but Young Money/Cash Money's latest tour will feature two of its biggest acts battling each other for label supremacy. Following last month's stellar comeback "Believe Me", Drake and Lil Wayne are linking back up for a 31 date summer tour that kicks off on August 8 in Buffalo, NY.
The Street Fighter themed tour comes in support of Tha Carter V, which still doesn't have a release date, but is being touted as Wayne's final LP.

Lil Boosie releases new single "She Want Some"
Since wrapping up his five year prison stint in March, Baton Rouge rapper Lil Boosie's stayed busy with recording. He's dropped his own reflective tracks with frequent partner Webbie and stomped all over other people's tracks like 2 Chainz's lurching "Could Woulda Shoulda".
Amidst all of that recording, Boosie's planning to issue his comeback album Touchdown 2 Cause Hell some time this summer. As a first taste he's delivered "She Want Some", a gloriously chintzy piece of strip club rap bound to have you dancing by the time the chorus hits. If half of Touchdown 2 Cause Hell is as infectious as "She Want Some" is, Boosie's post prison adjustment will go just fine.
Death Grips, Gonjasufi appear on new tracks from The Bug
Experimental dubstep artist The Bug (aka Kevin Martin) hasn't had a studio LP since 2008's London Zoo, but that will soon change with the August 26 release of Angels and Devils.
Divided into two distinct halves, Angels and Devils will feature a psychedelic, "dubbed out" first half ("Angels") and a screeching second half under the banner of "Devils". On either side of the record there will be appearances from: Liz Harris of Grouper, Jesu's Justin Broadrick, Hype Williams' Inga Copland, hip hop mystic Gonjasufi, and perpetual agitators Death Grips.
The Bug's collabos with the latter two are both available now through Soundcloud and are well worth a listen. Gonjasufi effort "Save Me" rests on a subtle, atmospheric production bed; while "F*** A B****" with Death Grips explodes out of a burbling futuristic cannon. In other words, The Bug's already established how disparate the two halves of Angels and Devils will be long before it drops.
1. "Void" ft. Liz Harris
2. "Fall" ft. Copeland
4. "Mi Lost" ft. Miss Red
6. "Save Me" ft. Gonjasufi
7. "The One" ft. Flowdan

I believe there is a mistake in the subject line or caption of this article.
The subject line reads: Qatar's first-ladies only café opens in Pearl Island. This means the restaurant is just for First ladies who are the wife or female partner of the president or other leader of a nation and no one else would be allowed inside. With my little knowledge of English, I guess the caption should have read: Qatar's first ladies-only café opens in Pearl Island.
Placing a hyphen (-) at the proper place can change the entire meaning of a sentence.

The university administration is unaware of the coming revolution. During the past few days, unity has been generated among the University students which would certainly transform into a revolution which is not less than an alarm for the national and State politicians.
Mr. Waman Mishram in his speech told that a month before Rohit had written to the VC to provide poison to Dalith students or a rope so that they could hang themselves. Despite this there was no reaching from the VC. It only indicates that there is a major conspiracy behind the suicide of Rohit. The purpose of which is to spread hatred among the Hindus and the Muslims in South India. The politicians are now making an attempt to create rifts SCs and BCs. He referred to the statement made by HRD Minister, Ms. Smriti Irani in which she supported the statement made by Mr. Dattatarya in which Rohit was termed as BC.

Falcons vs. Bucs Total Prediction
Will the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Bucs combine for enough points to push the score over the betting total on Monday night? Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET.
Matchup: Falcons (8-5) at Bucs (4-9)
TV: ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET
Line: Falcons -6.5
ODDS: According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the over/under currently sits at 48.5 points after hitting the board at 47.5. The Bucs, meanwhile, opened as a 4-point home underdog but the line was bet up nearly three points and now the Falcons are -6.5.
PUBLIC BETTING: As of Monday morning, 79% of the betting tickets are on the Falcons to cover the spread and 67% of the money is also on Atlanta minus the points.
INJURY REPORT: For the Falcons, running back Tevin Coleman is out with a concussion and guard Andy Levitre is going to miss another game with a triceps injury. On the other side, the Bucs will be without linebacker Lavonte David (shoulder), defensive tackle Gerald McCoy (biceps), and cornerback Vernon Hargreaves (hamstring). Yikes.
OUR PREDICTION: I love the over in this game. Those three players listed for Tampa Bay are three key defenders for a unit that was struggling to keep opponents out of the end zone even with those players. Atlanta has been inconsistent offensively this season but as we know, the Falcons have a ton of firepower on that said of the ball in Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, Mohamed Sanu and Devonta Freeman. The Falcons are also averaging 22.6 points per game and considering the Bucs are allowing 24 points per contest, I think there's a good chance Atlanta hangs 28-31 tonight in Tampa.
The over is 10-0-1 in the Falcons' last 11 games versus a team with a losing record, is 5-1 in their last six Monday games, and is 6-2-1 in their last nine divisional games. On the other side, the over is 11-5 in the Bucs' last 16 games after allowing more that 250 yards passing in their previous game and is 4-1 in their last five games after accumulating more than 250 yards passing in their previous game.

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter
According to a water and sewer rate study commissioned by the Fernley City Council, the city’s water and sewer funds are not collecting sufficient funds to meet their revenue requirements.
Thursday night, the council will consider its options.
The City Council will hold a special meeting at 5:30 p.m. for discussion and possible action regarding the water and sewer rate study.
Last December, the council approved a contract with Hansford Economic Consulting to conduct a water and sewer rate study.
That report was presented to the council at a special meeting on Sept. 14 in which HEC founder Catherine Hansford said the city’s water fund has lost money in four of the past five years, and will need an additional $20 million for water improvements and $8 million for sewer improvements over the next five years. Those improvements include a projected $5 million to upgrade the city’s water treatment plant to treat surface water, and $5 million to build infrastructure to get the city’s surface water to the treatment plant.
The city has 10,000 acre feet per year of surface water that it currently can’t use because its water treatment plant was designed to treat groundwater.
At that Sept. 14 meeting, several council members said they could not support drastic rate increases, and that they preferred to see rates increase gradually every year.
Hansford will present the council with several alternatives at Thursday’s meeting.

She may only be 14-years-old, but Angelina Jordan is one truly talented singer!
The teenager from Norway completely wowed the audience of America's Got Talent: The Champions with her soulful, stripped-down rendition of Elton John's 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' - receiving a standing ovation from all four judges!
Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Alesha Dixon, and Howie Mandel were all left with dropped-jaws during the show's finals, with Cowell saying: "What I loved about tonight was number one, you took a risk, and secondly, I'm gonna remember this performance for years and years and years to come.
"You didn't do what other people would normally do in this situation. You took that song but you made it sound current, relevant. You’ve made this final way, way better because you’ve set a real standard here. Great soul, great talent."
While Dixon said: "You're like an old soul trapped in a young person's body. Oh my goodness, it was beautifully delicate. You drew us all in. We were holding on to every single word that you sang. It was just gorgeous. I really hope the superfans vote for you, because I would vote for you. You're incredible."
"At any age, but especially 14, this is so amazing. One word comes to mind when I listen to you and that's hypnotic. I just get drawn into your sound and your performance, and nothing else going on around me even matters. It's just all about you. You truly are a champion," Mandel gushed.
The performance confirmed why judge Klum lavished her with a Golden Buzzer weeks ago, with the former model adding: "You make your Golden Buzzer mama so proud.
"I can feel it all the way down into my bones that you are a superstar in the making. I mean, seeing it right in front of our eyes — the melancholy that you put into that Elton John song was incredible. You are so good and I'm so excited for you."
Despite her age, Jordan is no stranger to the spotlight. In 2014, she won Norway's Got Talent, when she was just seven-years-old.

Nice, but where's the trigger?

The following guns were used in the video game 007: Legends:
As in the 2010 GoldenEye 007, Bond's starting weapon in every mission is a Walther P99 equipped with a detachable suppressor; for some reason it is shown much larger than in GoldenEye. The P99 is relatively weak and can only accept the extended magazine and compensator accessories, but has a large magazine.
The Walther PPK.
The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is available in the Die Another Day and Moonraker levels, and is also used by Pam Bouvier in the Licence to Kill level. A fairly weak pistol, although it makes up for this with an enormous 30-round magazine and the ability to mount a reflex sight. Surprisingly, it is not able to equip the full-auto accessory despite having a suitably large magazine to make use of it.
The Beretta 93R.
The Mauser C96.
The Beretta 418. The weapon is presumably a nod to James Bond carrying a suppressed one in his first five novels before acquiring his iconic Walther PPK.
Pw wz. 33
The Pw wz. 33.
Taurus Model 608
The Taurus Model 608.
Smith & Wesson Model 29
Assault Rifles & Battle Rifles
Screenshots of the Moonraker level show the same M4A1 model used as the "Terralite III" in GoldenEye Reloaded and the "TND-16" in 007: Quantum of Solace. The M4 is seen equipped with a irremovable vertical foregrip.
Steyr AUG A3
The Steyr Aug A3 in the game has the folding front and rear iron sights from the FN SCAR.
The SCAR-L in-game is seen equipped with a irremovable vertical foregrip.
A revamped version of the AKM model from GoldenEye Reloaded has been seen in the level based on Licence to Kill. Instead of the incorrect MP5-style scope mount, it has an AK-style bracket mounting rail. As before, the AKM is fitted with a smooth AK-47 type handguard rather than the "palm swell" AKM handguard.
Vz. 61 Skorpion
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
Heckler & Koch MP7
Saab Bofors Dynamics CBJ-MS
Bond has been shown reloading an Airsoft shotgun with a box magazine.
Remington 870 Custom
The custom Remington 870 from GoldenEye 007 returns, still called the "PT-9 Interdictus." The weapon no longer has any shells in the spare shell holder and has new iron sights; in addition the foregrip has been changed to what appears to be the front grip of a Kel-Tec KSG shotgun fitted with a vertical foregrip. The Remington 870 appears in the first section of the Goldfinger level in the hands of Goldfinger's Korean guards, and can be modified with a suppressor, compensator, extended magazine and / or reflex sight.
Walther WA 2000
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
The Arctic Warfare appears as "Gambit CP-208" and features a side-folding stock. Holds only 5 rounds instead of the correct 10, suggesting that it was supposed to be the AWM or AWSM.
Mk 12 Mod 1 Special Purpose Rifle
On the level Shanghai, the player can use the same sniper that Patrice uses in the Skyfall movie.
Launchers & mounted weapons
Dillon Aero M134 Minigun
Dillion Aero M134 Miniguns can be seen mounted in various places, including on the EMP-hardened transport helicopter.
Moonraker laser gun
The laser gun is a dressed up IMI Uzi replica.
Moonraker pistol laser
Compressed air pistol
The compressed air pistol used by Bond in Live and Let Die is available in Legends multiplayer as a secondary weapon.

Subaru EJ22 Stroker Build
[B]Might there be a less expensive way to build a 2.2L EJ motor[/B] from my EJ205 than to purchase a stroker kit, like this Tomica Racing example, and [B]is this the simplest path for increasing displacement?[/B]
Will standard STi rods be suitable, and will the [B]EJ205 fuel system, turbo setup and other supporting systems be sufficient for this modest increase in displacement?[/B]
[url=http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2202142]--->> BRAND NEW - TR 2.2l Stroker kit for EJ20 - NASIOC[/url]
He'll know what's best.
Well you have some choices here and I will try my best to explain everything;
A) Find a Phase 2 2.2L block(these are 99 1/2-2001 model years and are very hard to find)
B) Find a Phase 1 2.2L block(these are 92-99 model years if memory serves me correctly, these also use a smaller rod journal and were prone to bearing failures.)
The difference between these is the phase 1 block uses the #3 main bearing for the thrust bearing, the Phase 2 block uses the #5 main bearing. So if you buy a phase 1 block you'll have to have the #5 main machined for the thrust bearing in order to use the newer phase 2 cranks...
Once you have the block selection figured out you can use the newer 2L crank, STi rods and forged 2.2L pistons, without having to buy any the custom other than having the block machined.
Fuel wise I highly recommend upgraded fuel pump and injectors(minimum 550cc). Turbo intercooler should be okay, but I do recommend a bigger radiator as well. Also you have to watch your compression ratios as I have seen these build with higher ratios and that's not good for a turbocharged car. Try to keep your ratio around 8.5 and no more for a street driven pump gas car. I don't know if you have an upgraded exhaust system, but that is recommend as well.
YOU WILL NEED A TUNE FOR THIS SETUP!!! I can't stress that enough. Well I hope this helps you out some. If you decided you really wanna toss a 2.5L crank in a 2L block it will cost about $1300 more....just food for thought. Oh and your looking at $3500 for the build I mentioned above...roughly I'm not sure what machinist charges in Canada honestly.
p.s. The cheapest way would to simply buy an STi shortblock and put your WRX heads on it.
p.s. The cheapest way would to simply buy an STi shortblock and put your WRX heads on it.[/quote]
Understood, and the high-dollar approach is not what I'm looking for. With an STi shortblock, [B]do I still require the upgraded fuel pump and injectors?[/B]
I suspect the STi shortblock is 2.5L of displacement then, and [B]are there any issues with using the EJ205 heads with an STi shortblock if the heads were designed for a (slightly) smaller bore? [/B]
A stock rebuild may make the most sense then for a cost-effect build, and I can upgrade it modestly with forged pistons. My power expectations are modest, with Stage 2 at the most.
I recommend upgrading fuel pump and injectors most of the time even on a stage higher than 2. I have seen stock WRX injectors hit well over 100%IDC on the stock turbo. Highest I would safely go with IDC is 85%. Although I tune for safety not super huge numbers.
As far as the WRX heads on a STi block you can get the combustion chambers enlarged to fit the 2.5 bore. Not sure on the cost, but as with anything machining it probably isn't super cheap.
p.s. if you really want the super cheap way, and keep in mind I highly, HIGHLY, HIGHLY don't recommend it, but simply buy and older 2.2L(I have seen them for $350-400) throw in a simple rebuild and toss your heads on it. Then you are looking at roughly.......$2000ish maybe more, but and again I can't stress this enough, you won't be able to run more than stock boost levels and even then I'd recommend upgraded fuel pump and injectors. Used "pinks" can be had for $200, Walbro fuel pump $100 so it's good insurance.

Venezuela May Not Meet Oil Output Goal, JPMorgan Says
"Skepticism abounds about Venezuela's ability to meet its goal of boosting production to 5 million barrels a day,'' the analysts said. ``Windfall oil revenue has been spent on social programs aimed at eradicating poverty rather than the oil sector, which has negative implications for future production growth.''
More FUD from the uber-captalists tribe of the Northern America's: shocked, aghast, as their globalist colonialism crumbles.
Kibbles for the poor. And literacy programs. And improved health care. My God - let them run along like this for a few more years and Venezuela might start to resemble the United States before oil peaked in the lower 48.
Let's see - I've added up the cost of all these Commie social programs on my napkin calculator. Then, using Friedman math, I've added up the Globalist value of having a healthy, educated workforce, and subtracted it from the cost of the social programs.
Hot damn - turns out to be a wash. Bullshit sure is slippery.
Strictly from an oil perspective, it is probably better for Venezuela to produce their fields at a sedate pace. Not much point in damaging future reserves due to overproduction,
even if the World Bank attack dogs are humping your trousers.

London Alt-Pop Songwriter Shines on Emotive New Single
It’s been a whirlwind year for Hedara, releasing her first pieces of solo music after no shortage of soul-searching and creative re-evaluation.
Hedara first graced the airwaves earlier this year with her debut EP Slow, a blend of electronica, pop, folk and piano-led songwriting that announced her project to the world. The project caught the attention of Clash Magazine, Earmilk, Adidas X Girls Are Awesome and a number of key publications on The Hype Machine. Spotify also supported the release on their Fresh Finds playlist and Jo Whiley was supportive on the radio throughout.
She soon returned with “Skin Deep,” one of her most pop-focused outings to date. She’s now looking to follow up on that with the sultry new single “Love Can Make Me Hate You,” an alt-pop gem with elements from the entire electronic spectrum.
“Being in a relationship can be testing, no matter what. Loads of curve balls will be thrown in along the way, and it’s all about finding that someone who makes all the trials and tribulations worth it,” she says. “You know you’re going to go through all the highs and lows, the arguments, the tears, the happiness – and being willing for them to happen because this is the person thats worth it.” Listen to it below.

TV Gems: Looking back at “Partners” starring Michael Urie and Brandon Routh and as gay couple
When this sitcom got canceled in 2013 I quoted Nancy Kerrigan during that awful moment in her life: “Whhyyyyyyy?’
Partners was such a wonderful showcase for the brilliant Michael Urie and Brandon Routh who could not have been more adorable and sweet as his boyfriend.
Most television sitcoms would have loved to have the ratings achieved by this show which also starred David Krumholtz and Sophia Bush who were delightful in their roles.
But for CBS, 5.5 million viewers was not enough and show about a pair of best friends – one gay and one straight – and it was canceled after one season.
The comedy aired on Monday nights between How I Met Your Mother and Two Broke Girls. It was from is from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchick and David Kohan.
Urie played the over-the-top gay character which is based on Mutchick while Krumholz played the straight character based on Kohan and Bush played his fiance.
Urie, the out actor who came to fame on Ugly Betty, was the comic center of the show with his over-the-top character.
‘Any kind of extreme is fun – especially when you’re doing comedy,’ he told me in 2013. ‘It opens up the boundaries so much for what you can do. I don’t like being confined. Since Ugly Betty I’ve gotten to play some subtle characters and that’s really fun and really interesting but I much prefer to go for the back of the house.’
Below is a compilation of some of the show’s funniest scenes. Enjoy this trip down memory lane or enjoy it for the first time!
