THE PRESIDENT: Well, Carl, thanks. Yes, I'm delighted to be here. (Applause.) I appreciate so very much you all letting me come by to say a few words. We're going to have kind of a discussion about jobs. When I hear somebody in our country wants to work and can't find a job, it says to me we've got a problem, we've got to keep working to make sure people are able to work. So we're here to really talk about jobs.
Before we do, I do want to say something, though, about this company. I understand 26 of your employees, your fellow employees are in Iraq. I know a lot of you have got relatives who serve in the United States military. I want to thank you. I want you to tell them thank you, on behalf of a grateful nation, for working to see to it that this nation is secure.
Before we get, kind of, this discussion going on, I want to say a couple of things. I want to thank the Governor for being here. Governor Sandford, is here. Senator Lindsey Graham is with us. Congressmen DeMint, Brown, Wilson and Barrett are with us, as well. Speaker Wilkins. When the President shows up, you know, all kinds of people show up. (Laughter.) But I'm glad to be in their company, they're good folks, they're friends.
But we're here to talk about policies to make it even better. That's what we want. We're not satisfied. And we're not satisfied because I do understand some are struggling.
But with that, Carl, I want to thank you for your hospitality. I look forward to hearing from our fellow citizens about what's on your mind, and really am grateful so many of you all showed up and gave me a chance to come and to say hello.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I appreciate it. First of all, it says to me that our workers are the best in the world. (Applause.) People are really productive. You know, you hear this -- a lot of talk about trade. You're living the trade world. And if we do a good job by making sure trade is free and fair, people are going to find work here in America. That's what this is all about. In other words, we welcome people coming here. We welcome their money. I know the workers welcome the chance to work. And we're good about it. We're good workers. And that's what this plant shows.
And so I appreciate very much, most importantly, the -- I appreciate the deployment of capital from overseas to America. But, most importantly, I appreciate the hard-working Americans who are making it an attractive place for people to invest right here in South Carolina. We're the most productive work force in the world right now, by far. Our productivity per worker is way out of sight. And we've just got to keep it that way, because, you see, high productivity, it creates a short-term problem, unemployment. If one worker can put out more goods, unless the economy grows, it's going to be hard to hire new people. But in the long run, high productivity means better pay, better living.
And so what you've just told me is this work force is doing its job. And there's no doubt in my mind this work force can compete with anybody in the world. And my job is to make sure that we have a level playing field, see that we've got fair trade -- free and fair trade. We want free trade because we want you to be able to sell what you make here out of the state of South Carolina overseas. That's what we want. Because if you're not selling those cars overseas, then it's -- some of you may not be working, and we want you working.
But I appreciate that, Carl. Thanks.
MR. FLESCHER: Steve, I wonder if you might want to tell the President a little bit about your company.
MR. THIES: Sure, Carl. Mr. President, Spartanburg Steel and Spartanburg Stainless are two privately held manufacturing companies here. We call ourselves "SSP," it's a little easier to say than the full name. Spartanburg Steel began production here in 1962, so it's an old company. But we make metal stampings -- today we make metal stampings in welded assemblies for BMW, principally for the X-5s, or activity vehicle, which is produced here at the plant.
You can see some of our parts are surrounding us here today, you see some metal parts around the room, around the stage. A number of these assemblies are made of our company. Spartanburg Steel has grown nicely because of its relationship with BMW; that growth is helping our owners, our associates and our suppliers, as well.
THE PRESIDENT: Let me amplify on that real quick. Sorry to interrupt. Tax policy -- good tax policy is important for economic growth. (Applause.) And if you -- and I just want to make sure everybody understands what he's talking about there. First of all, I hope you saw the tax relief. If you're a mom or a dad, you did, because we increased the child credit -- (applause) -- we reduced rates. I'm going to tell you why, just so that you understand the logic.
If you have more money in your pocket, you're going to demand an additional good or a service. And when you demand an additional good or a service, somebody is going to produce the good or a service. And when somebody produces it, it means somebody is more likely to, first, keep a job, and if there's enough demand out there, it means the job base will expand.
THE PRESIDENT: I presume your company wouldn't be doing well if it hadn't been for somebody willing to invest here in South Carolina and the BMW plant. What people have got to understand is that when BMW builds cars, there's a spin-off effect. Businesses in the area benefit, as well. The more work you all do at BMW, the more likely somebody is going to be doing work in an associated supplier. Economic vitality depends upon the money circulating in our economy. And not only does tax policy help, but good trade policy helps. Being willing to welcome foreign investment into the state of South Carolina.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, I appreciate that. These stories are stories of an economy that's changing. We went through -- we've been through a tough time. There's no doubt about it. We've been through a recession. The enemy hit us on September the 11th. It affected not only our psychology, but it affected the economy. It just did. It's just a reality.
Unfortunately, we had some corporate citizens who didn't tell the truth. They forgot what it means to be a responsible citizen. They kind of fudged the numbers. They're going to be held to account, by the way. That's how you need to treat people who -- (applause).
We marched to war. I don't if you remember, on your TV screens, last summer it -- a year ago, summer -- it said, "march to war." You turn on the TV, and there it says, "march to war." That's not a very conducive environment in which people are willing to take risk. It's not a positive thought. It's a necessary, in my judgment, obviously, to make America secure. But it's not positive. I know it's not.
So we've overcome a lot. Plus, the economy is restructuring. And so the fundamental question is, what do you do about it? One, you encourage growth, the creation of new jobs. Most new jobs in America are created by small businesses. And so we had a small business focus. But the other thing we've got to understand is that as the society becomes more productive and the nature of the jobs change, we've got to make sure there's worker training programs. We've got over 1,700 one-stop sites for workers to go to. These guys did their own one-stop shopping. But not everybody may have the same ability to do that. And you can get on a computer and find out the jobs available in your neighborhood.
And, as importantly, the job training programs available. I mean, somebody listening out there today who is wondering whether or not they can find work, there are ample opportunities to find job training programs that will help train you for jobs which actually exist. And that's a very important concept. There's a little bit of a change -- it used to be that government would judge you on just did you have job training programs. And, therefore, they have 1,000 hairdressers for 50 jobs, which didn't make sense. What you're trying to do now is match demand for jobs, with jobs with the people.
There's a lot of Pell Grant money available, and that's important for people to know, so they can go to a community college. And then there's monies available for community colleges -- I know the Governor is working on this -- to make sure that community colleges become laboratories for educating work force for the jobs which exist. There are jobs available.
And so the fundamental question is how do we help people find those jobs. And one thing we've got to do is focus on -- you know, technology roars through the economy and society, and labor is left behind. And so we've got to make sure labor stays caught up. As society changes, as the economy changes, we've got to have programs that actually make sense, and programs that focus, that the job training programs on making sure that the work force, the most productive in the world, has got the skills necessary to meet the jobs of the future.
THE PRESIDENT: Good job. Remember, I talked about job training? A good company is one that works hard to train the work force. A good company is a company which says, how do we keep our workers on the front edge of change? It sounds like BMW does that, and I appreciate you then passing on the skills you learned. And a good company also provides good health care, good retirement. And, obviously, the added benefit of letting people travel to see a different part of the world, which is a pretty interesting concept, when you think about it.
Well, thank you for sharing your story with us.
THE PRESIDENT: I appreciate that story. Look, I know there's a lot of textile workers here in this state who are worried about their future -- some have lost their job -- and, obviously, we care about that a lot. And in the government we'll try to do everything we can to make sure that the rules are fair.
But Henry's story is an interesting story, and the wife's story is an interesting story, about somebody who said, wait a minute, there's a better job. And it does take -- and it's hard to leave work, I understand that, it's unsettling. But you've just got to know -- and I want to emphasize again what Henry said -- there are programs to help people transition from one kind of job to a job which has got more security, and a better paying job -- and a better paying job.
And that's what's happening in the work force, the jobs are better paying. There's health care jobs, there's jobs in the manufacturing sector. And a productive work force means that people are going to be able to make more money over the long term -- that's what that means. And we've just got to make sure that we help people get there.
THE PRESIDENT: I appreciate the story. Let me pick up on one thing. Again, obviously it's a good company, which is one that keeps your people on the cutting edge of change by having training.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I appreciate that. It's like, I was in North Carolina the other day and the hospital people are looking for work, so they went to this junior college, a community college, and helped the people design a curriculum that would then enable people to come out of the course with the skills necessary to be hired. And that's what we've got to do. We ought to make sure that we tailor curriculum for the jobs which will exist.
Because there's a lot of fine people in our country, hard-working, decent, honorable people, that all they want is a chance. And then the economy races by them, all they're asking for is, give me some skills so I can go out and be a productive employee. And sometimes you find it inside your company, sometimes it requires a community college to have the program necessary, all the time it requires a citizen initiative, that's what it requires.
You did mention government, just remember, the role of the government is to see to it that this economy gets going by having good policy -- the tax policy is good policy, the health care policy for small business is important. We've got one other thing -- education policy is important, obviously. There's one other thing I want to mention right quick, because it's now up in Congress. Manufacturing companies need energy. You're not going to be working long if you don't have energy to run this plant. It's a practical matter.
And we've got an energy bill that we're trying to get out, an energy bill which says we'll work on conservation. An energy bill that says our electricity system needs to be modern -- you may remember what happened last summer, I mean, there was a pretty clear signal that parts of the electricity grid need to be modernized, they're old and ancient and tired. The utilities, we're working on voluntary reliability standards -- I think they ought to be mandatory reliability standards. That means if you're responsible for moving electricity, it must be mandatory that you've got reliability in your system.
Listen, I'm honored you all came out to say hello. I appreciate you giving me a chance -- to Carl and you all -- to come and talk about jobs and what's happening in the economy and how we can continue to create an environment for job creation. I'm excited about the future because I know the nature of America. We've overcome a lot in this country, we really have. But I'm not surprised, because I know the nature of the citizens who live in this country: people are tough when they need to be tough, and compassionate when they need to be compassionate, people who work hard. As I said, and I meant it, the best work force in the world is right here in America, right here in front of me.
There's going to be other challenges in front of America. But there's no doubt in my mind we will meet every challenge because of the nature of this country. This country is freedom's home. This country is freedom's defender. And this country believes the American Dream ought to be available to everybody. And we need to create that environment so people can realize that dream.


Having kids in your wedding party can add the most adorable touch before the bride's entrance. You may really have your heart set on having a very special friend or family member do the honor, adding extra cuteness to the day.
You have to be prepared with a possible element of surprise though, since kids will be kids. Sometimes with adorable comes mischief.
Children can also get spooked and change their mind about walking down the aisle at the last minute. They're the bosses and make their own rules. It's also possible they will get distracted along their way. And one never knows if they will start to cry, pick their nose or throw a temper tantrum that can ruin or totally charm the moment.
Each child is different and the moment will be unpredictable. After all, the spotlight is on them. It can be a complete nerve-racking experience for a toddler to walk down an aisle with tons of adults looking at him/her and taking pictures. Some kids will be fascinated by it; others will be understandably much less enthusiastic.
But if you do decide to have one or two (or more) little ones, they certainly have the keen ability to effortlessly steal the show. They will also be the ultimate addition to your special day.
...and probably knows how to flirt it up with the ladies.
...while this one has a killer smile for the cameras.
Others know how to talk the talk.
...and come on, suspenders and matching sneaks are going to melt everyone's heart.
When a bro has your back, it goes a long way.
Let's be real, what little flower girl could pass up this offer?
...and a man's best friend will always be a loyal choice for the role.

26/10/2016 • 5 min read

Get to know!
Halloween is just around the corner and if you're looking for the ultimate scare, we dare you to visit one of these haunted places. They're said to be the spookiest spots in the country, but can you muster up enough guts to see if that's true? From historic hotels to petrifying penitentiaries, here are the most haunted places in the US.
1. Stanley Hotel
This hotel has earned itself a place on the map of America's most haunted places after Stephen King's memorable stay in room 417, which inspired The Shining. Eery things have happened to plenty of guests here, like finding their luggage unpacked, lights turning on and off, hearing children giggling and running down the halls during the night and music coming from the empty ballroom.
2. Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum
Weston, West Virginia
Thousands of people have been housed here since it opened in 1864; likewise many of those also died here. While this place in West Virginia was originally build to treat patients and lead them on a road to recovery, TALA eventually became an overcrowded and underfunded place of total misery. Would you be able to endure a 2-hour visit to the asylum's ghostly hot spots? How about an intense 8-hour overnight paranormal adventure? Count us out!
3. Whaley House
Heading to California for some post-summer sun? Book your flights to San Diego to check out Whaley House for a freaky fright, the site of the city's first public gallows. The most famous ghostly resident is Yankee Jim Robinson, a drifter and thief who was hung here a few years before the house was built.
4. Eastern State Penitentiary
In a prison meant to hold 250 people, 1,700 inmates were tortured day and night here by guards who reportedly used to soak them in freezing water at night, keep them in solitary confinement for days and were chained and beaten repeatedly. The prison shut down in 1971 but the ghosts of those inmates still linger the halls. Stop by here on Halloween for the annual haunted house, called Terror Behind the Walls.
5. RMS Queen Mary
There is no doubt that this magnificent ship is haunted. From crew members roaming the engine rooms to children crying, the list of supernatural occurrences on board are long and creepy. The Queen Mary made its maiden voyage in 1936 before being used in World War II. It was decommissioned in 1967 but has seen at least one murder and several deaths, including that of a sailer killed by engine door #13 when it was closing during a drill. The ship is now a hotel and hosts ghost tours year-round.
6. Ohio State Reformatory
Mansfield, Ohio
This gothic-like building looks a lot like a castle and was built in 1896 with the hope of providing a place where young-offenders and children could be reformed. Good intentions for the Reformatory went sour with overcrowding and explosive violent outbreaks among the juveniles housed here. The OSR was closed in 1990 for "brutalizing and inhumane conditions," according to a federal order. Today, visitors often hear whispers coming from cell blocks and apparitions of prisoners have been seen in solitary confinement.
7. Myrtles Plantation
St. Francisville, Louisiana
This 1796 plantation has plenty of stories to tell but its most famous involved a slave named Chloe, who was forced to be her master's mistress. When her master tired of her, legend says she baked a poisonous cake that killed her master's wife and two children. The other slaves hung her from a tree. Now an inn, guests have reportedly seen the piano playing itself and have been dragged from bed… creepy!
8. One if by Land, Two if by Sea
If you're heading east on flights to New York this Halloween, then head to this West Village restaurant for a romantic (but creepy) dinner. This carriage house was once owned by vice president Aaron Burr and it's said that his daughter, Theodisia, haunts its halls. For a period in the '90s female diners repeatedly reported missing earrings and past managers have heard glasses clinking, despite the restaurant being empty at night.
9. Masonic Temple
There's more to this concert venue in downtown Detroit than meets the eye. With more than 1,000 rooms, a maze of hidden passageways and concealed staircases, this Masonic Temple has plenty to hide. It's haunted by the ghost of George D. Mason, who went bankrupt funding its construction and leapt to his death from the roof. He spooks security guards and can sometimes be seen climbing the stairs to the roof.
10. Queen Anne Hotel
Heading to San Francisco this fall? You might think twice about staying at the Queen Anne Hotel if you're not up for spotting ghosts! Originally a girl's school when it opened in 1890, today this 48-room Victorian home is believed to be haunted by the late headmistress, Miss Mary Lake. Guests sleeping in her former office, room 410, might find their suitcases unpacked for them or their blankets neatly tucked around them at night. All in all, she sounds like quite a helpful ghost!

Last night I had the pleasure of seeing something happen that should have taken place years ago. Better still, I got to share in the event. The Bishop Museum honored Yosi Sinoto at its annual dinner and I got to introduce him. It was an award long overdue.
Yosihiko Sinoto is an unsung hero of the museum. He's a big shot everywhere but Hawai'i. The emperor of Japan has bestowed upon him the Order of the Rising Sun for his contribution to science in the Pacific. I flew with Yosi to Tahiti, and the president of French Polynesia sent his limousine to pick him up at the airport. Customs officials whisked us off to a special waiting room while they picked up our bags.
Here, Yosi goes unrecognized. When Yosi takes a tour to the Marquesas, the mayors of villages call out the schoolchildren to greet him. He goes to Rapa Nui, where he restored the giant statues, and kupuna consult him.
All this is because Yosi Sinoto is a superb archaeologist. Also an avid fisherman and speaker of many languages. In Tahiti his nickname is "Tapone," which means "Japan" in Tahitian. He likes Hinano beer and we have consumed quite a bit of it together.
The stories about Yosi are legion.
He has no compunction about scolding Tahitians for not taking care of marae — their temples.
In the 1960s, I was strolling under coconut palms with Kenneth Emory and Yosi back to the hotel from a dig on Bora Bora when Yosi dashed off to a land crab hole. He came back with a beautiful, 500-year-old, pearl shell fishhook that a land crab had dug up. Only Yosi can spot a fishhook in a land crab hole at 20 feet. That's why he's a legend among archaeologists.
In 1964, Yosi took the old supply ship Aranue to the Marquesas from Tahiti to check out possibilities for a dig. He asked the captain to drop him off at Uahuka while the Aranue made its rounds, then pick him up on the way back. Meanwhile, Yosi walked around the island depending on Marquesan hospitality.
He found a sand dune where high waves had washed out some bones. The classic dig that followed went down through the entire cultural history of the Marquesas and became the timetable against which all other digs in Eastern Polynesia were measured.
When Yosi came to Hawai'i from Japan as a student in the 1950s, the first thing he asked at the South Point dig was "Where's the pottery?" Before carbon dating, pottery was the best way to date a site. Polynesians didn't make pottery. It was Yosi who thought of substituting fishhooks for pottery to date the strata in his digs. To sequence thousands of fishhooks, he invented a computer made out of file cards, shoeboxes and a one-hole punch.
In October, he's taking a Bishop Museum tour to Huahine where he's restoring temples. It's a great opportunity for adventure and to learn a lot.


As International schools morph and change, the goal is our schools become better versions of what we've been before. Whether it is to provide a more cohesive and articulated curriculum, more rigorous vetting of our personnel for safety, or more purposefully designed and earth-friendly facilities, we are always changing and improving.
One area which is garnering a lot of attention right now is inclusivity. The idea that our schools can accept students with special needs isn't new, but striving to do so, and even expanding the notion of what we can support, is a change.
Championing this idea is the Next Frontier Inclusion project led by Bill and Ochan Powell. This past week, I was with them at Hong Kong Academy to see an inclusive school in action: the journey, the celebrations, and the next steps for all of us trying to make this a reality. It was an interesting visit.
While, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit it, I wasn't sure how I would feel around students with special needs. Having grown up in and always worked in international schools, I have limited exposure to students who are considered SEN (Special Education Needs) children. Of course, being on site at HKA and seeing those students playing, learning, and making friends eased my fear and opened my heart. While most of our schools will never be a true microcosm of society, we can and should modify our definition of diversity.
How do you do this? Staffing, marketing, facilities, etc.
How do we go from where we are today, to where we want to be without compromising our already rigorous programs?
What if our school communities (existing families) don't want to do this?
Of course, for many of our schools, it will take time, planning and persistence to shift the culture and become more purposefully inclusive. Each school will face challenges based on its locale and clientele. However as often happens in our connected community of international school educators, once a few of us leap out, it will be easier (and become more important) for others to do the same. That is our strength as a global community.
Here is a first step I can share about the journey we are on at my school. It is a small shift that has produced big changes. It is a shift in language and mindset. It is replicable by any school wanting to become more inclusive.
We have recently changed our admissions stance from 'no' to 'yes and…' In the past, we would receive a file of a student with needs and work as an admissions team to explain all the reasons why we couldn't admit the child. This process was designed to help the family understand why we were saying 'No'.
Now, the admissions team (principal, resource teachers, counselor, admissions rep, possibly a classroom teacher) is tasked with presenting a scenario to our director based on 'yes'. There is no longer a 'no' option at this meeting.
Instead, 'yes, and…' comes with the plan/proposal of what we would require to fully support the child in our school. There is no boundary to what we can propose: shadow teachers, more testing, modified curriculum, partial day, on-site therapy, etc. The proposals are not predicated on what we already do, but instead generated by what would be possible if there were no limits. The admission team's job is to paint a picture which gets us to yes. From there, the director makes the final decision about whether or not we can get there.
This shift in mindset and emphasis has produced a few interesting results. First, we are much more likely to think out of the box when we are starting with a positive, can-do frame of mind. Secondly, the two or three cases we have reviewed in this vein have turned out to be doable, surprising us all, as in the past, we probably would have simply said 'no'. And finally, the level of communication and ownership for the inclusion plan is spread out among those people who proposed an idea worth hearing.
Getting to yes is a motto we are beginning to live. While there are sure to be pitfalls, we are happy to be taking an active and conscious step toward inclusion.
What is your school doing to change the conversation?

I love that there is a push to start from a place of yes. I think when we start form a place of yes – in school or in life – more positivity follows.
When I taught in China, a student with pretty serious brain damage was in my classroom. He had been in the school since kinder and was a very sweet kid, but had temper and behavioral issues. Our school required the parents to hire an aide to go to school with him and help him. This seemed to work well when he was younger, but I got him when he was older and after a year had a long talk with my principal and the parents. We just couldn't offer him the help he needed. His learning was stagnating despite everything we did for him, his behavior was starting to affect the other students, and students who used to try to help him, really didn't know how to handle him anymore. If we had had an actual special ed teacher who could have worked with him on his social skills and who had the training needed to help his learning it would have been a much better situation. As it was, I felt like I was failing him. If you really want inclusivity, make sure you hire qualified special ed teachers to help out. It is vital if you want all your students to succeed.

2 men convicted of killing civil rights leader Malcolm X are exonerated in court
By Vanessa Romo,

Muhammad Aziz, center, stands outside the courthouse with members of his family after his conviction in the killing of Malcolm X was vacated on Thursday in New York. A Manhattan judge dismissed the convictions of Aziz and the late Khalil Islam, after prosecutors and the lawyers said a renewed investigation found new evidence that the men were not involved with the killing.
Updated November 18, 2021 at 4:42 PM ET
Two of the three men convicted of killing the civil rights activist Malcolm X were exonerated in a Manhattan court Thursday.
A judge dismissed the convictions of Muhammad Aziz and Khalil Islam after a 22-month investigation unveiled new evidence of the men's innocence.
The judge determined that authorities withheld some evidence that might have cleared them during the investigation.
"The event that has brought us to court today should never have occurred," Aziz told the court, according to The Associated Press. "I am an 83-year-old man who was victimized by the criminal justice system."
District Attorney Cy Vance and lawyers representing the two men announced Wednesday they would ask the court to "vacate the wrongful convictions" of Aziz and Islam — a move that debunks the official account about the assassination of the fiery orator who was murdered onstage in 1965 in a hail of bullets in front of hundreds of people, including his daughters and pregnant wife.
Muhammad Aziz, a suspect in the slaying of Malcolm X, is escorted by detectives at police headquarters after his arrest in New York on Feb. 26, 1965. Aziz, previously known as Norman 3X Butler, was cleared after more than half a century, with prosecutors now saying authorities withheld evidence in the civil rights leader's killing, according to a news report Wednesday.
Aziz and Islam, members of the Nation of Islam, were sentenced to life in prison a year later alongside Mujahid Abdul Halim, then known as Talmadge Hayer and Thomas Hagan.
While Halim confessed to the murder during the trial, he testified that neither Aziz nor Islam was involved. But he declined to name the men who had joined him in the attack.
Meanwhile, Islam, then known as Thomas 15X Johnson, and Aziz, then known as Norman 3X Butler, always maintained their innocence.
Khalil Islam (center) is booked as the third suspect in the slaying of Malcolm X in New York on March 3, 1965. Islam, previously known as Thomas 15X Johnson, one of two men convicted in the assassination of Malcolm X, was cleared after more than half a century.
Halim eventually gave the names of four men who he said were his accomplices in 1978. But his testimony failed to persuade officials to reopen the investigation of the murder and a judge rejected a motion to vacate the convictions.
Halim was released in 2010 after spending more than 40 years in prison. Islam was released in 1987 and died in 2009. Aziz, who was released on parole in 1985, fought to clear his name with the help of the Innocence Project.
Suspicion and speculation that the FBI and NYPD had mishandled the case, deliberately withholding or ignoring information that would have ensured Islam and Aziz's freedom, has persisted for more than a half-century. And in 2020, a documentary called Who Killed Malcolm X? raised a slew of new questions ultimately prompting Vance to launch a new investigation.
"The day of the murder, which was a Sunday morning, I was laying over the couch with my [injured] foot up and I heard it over the radio," Aziz remembers in Who Killed Malcolm X?
According to the Innocence Project, "In addition to multiple alibi witnesses, a doctor who treated Aziz at Jacobi Hospital in the Bronx just hours before Malcolm's murder took the stand in Aziz's defense."
Over the last 22 months, Vance's team has unearthed FBI documents that would have cast doubt on the involvement of Aziz and Islam. That evidence was available at the time of the trial but was withheld from the defense and prosecution.
Corrected: November 17, 2021 at 11:00 PM CST
A previous version of the headline misspelled the name of Malcolm X as Malcom X.

Nova Southeastern University (NSU or, informally, "Nova") is a private university with its main campus in Davie, Florida. The university consists of 18 colleges and schools offering over 150 programs of study. The university offers professional degrees in the social sciences, law, business, osteopathic medicine, allopathic medicine, allied health, pharmacy, dentistry, optometry, physical therapy, education, occupational therapy, and nursing. Nova Southeastern enrolled 20,793 students in the 2017-2018 academic year, and has produced 185,000 alumni.
The university was founded as the Nova University of Advanced Technology on a former Naval Outlying Landing Field built during World War II, and first offered graduate degrees in the physical and social sciences. In 1994, the university merged with the Southeastern University of the Health Sciences and assumed its current name.
NSU is classified as a high research and community engaged university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and also has numerous additional specialized accreditation for its colleges and programs.
The NSU Sharks compete in Division II of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as members of the Sunshine State Conference.
The university, originally named Nova University of Advanced Technology, was chartered by the state of Florida on December 4, 1964. With an inaugural class of 17 students, the university opened as a graduate school for the social and physical sciences.
The university was originally located on a campus in downtown Fort Lauderdale but later moved to its current campus in Davie, Florida. A portion of the site of this campus was once a naval training airfield during World War II, called the "Naval Outlying Landing Field Forman". The remnants of the taxiway surrounding the airfield are still present in the form of roads used on the campus. After World War II, the federal government made a commitment to the Forman family, from whom the land was purchased, that the land would only be used for educational purposes. This led the land to be used for the creation of the South Florida Education Center, which includes Nova Southeastern University, as well as Broward College, Florida Atlantic University, McFatter Technical College, and the University of Florida.
On June 23, 1970, the board of trustees voted to enter into a federation with the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). The president of NYIT, Alexander Schure, Ph.D., became chancellor of Nova University. Abraham S. Fischler became the second president of the university. The university charter was amended and "of Advanced Technology" was dropped from its corporate name. In 1971, Nova University received accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
In 1972, the university introduced its first off-campus course of study in education. In 1974, NSU opened a law school, with an inaugural class of 175 students. The same year, the university began offering evening courses on campus for undergraduates, and changed its name to Nova University. The following year, in 1975, the law school received approval from the American Bar Association.
In the early 1980s, the university received a $16 million gift from the Leo Goodwin Sr. Trust. In 1985, NSU ended its collaboration with New York Institute of Technology (NYIT), and began offering its first online classes. In 1989, enrollment reached 8,000 students, with nearly 25,000 alumni. Revenue approached $70 million.

Take just 7 minutes to learn about training reinforcement (or learning reinforcement). Obi Ochu, one of our learning experts in Toronto, talks us through the basics of training reinforcement during this whiteboard session.
Click on image for a full resolution version.
My name is Obi Ochu from the SwissVBS office in Toronto, and I want to thank all of you for taking the time to experience our Whiteboard on a concept known as Learning Reinforcement.
So, the question of the day is "What is Learning Reinforcement?" To truly understand what "Learning Reinforcement" is, it's critical to go back to what is known as "The Learning Journey". Most learning journeys are kicked off with what is known as "The Initial Learning Event", that maybe face-to-face in a classroom, maybe online, or it may be a blended experience.
The core objective of the initial learning is to communicate and teach course skills, competencies, and knowledge to a pool of employees or learners, so they can take those skills into the all-important performance moment to not only meet but exceed expectations.
Now the performance moment depending on what job you're in; it can take the form of an online environment; if you're a doctor, an operating room. If you're a pilot, in a cockpit, or in the field, in an office, or the factory floor; it doesn't matter. The key objective is that what you learned in the classroom is available to you to apply so you exceed your expectations.
Ultimately, the core goal of a successful learning journey is role competency, role efficiency, role confidence, and personal growth and development. And if you achieve all these things from an organizational perspective, you're maximizing your learning ROI. But the key challenge to access a successful learning journey is the concept of the day, which is called the forgetting curve. At a high level, the forgetting curve proposes that 70 percent of what is taught in the classroom can be forgotten within 24 hours, and even scarce statistics is up to 90% of what was taught in the classroom can be forgotten in a week. And what the forgetting curve causes is what is known as memory leakage. This severely affects the performance moment, and the forgetting curve and its effects are compounded by what is known as the illusion of knowing. This is where people mistake fluency for mastery.
So you may ask, "What's the difference between fluency and mastery?". Fluency in most cases is people feel if they're able to regurgitate information with confidence, passion, and speed, they feel they know and understand what is being taught, but that is not mastery. Mastery is having a true knowledge of the concepts and the skills that were communicated in the classroom and the ability to apply those skills in the workplace.
So when you look at the forgetting curve, and when you look at the illusion of knowing, this underlines the importance of learning reinforcement. So we ask ourselves, how do we initiate a successful learning reinforcements strategy? How do we make sure that people retain what was taught in the class room?
A way of achieving this is what is known as a retrieval practice. A retrieval practice prompts you, the learner, to recall critical information. I underlined the term critical because reinforcement is not about retraining, it's not about replacing training, it's about recalling key concepts. Now the term retrieval practice is a big word. What is it? It's a fancy way of targeted, customized quizzes. Questions that take multiple forms of maybe multiple choice, maybe text entry, it maybe drag & drop. It depends on the learning DNA of your organization. So, these questions are regularly introduced to the learner when they're in the performance moment so they can recall information they need to do their job at a high level.
Number 1 it has to be effortful. It's typically spaced out. Typically, doesn't happen every day, may happen every other day. It has to be interleaved, and again, the feedback is typically delayed.
If you implement a successful reinforcement strategy, what now happens to the forgetting curve? Its impacted in a way that the volume of knowledge that's lost is mitigated because through interval, through regular, and space retrieval practices, we're able to boost your retention levels on a regular basis throughout a given period and what that effectively does is plugging the memory leaks.
And I just wanted to come back to this here because this is critical. When you take a look at memory leakage and the forgetting curve, I'll give a little bit of an example.
I remember when I was driving to the United States to attend the basketball tournament for my son and the GPS told me "Take Exit 9", so I took Exit 9. Three weeks later I had to make the same trip, but I couldn't remember the exit to take, and the reason being is that the brain continuously flushes out information as I indicated over here. So, the brain has told me that that information is not pertinent. That's why it couldn't remember, but in the case of pertinent information, which I'll give you an example, like your zip code for my friends in the United States or your postal code for my friends in Canada. You remember that information instantaneously because you've had to apply for mortgage, driver's license, bank accounts. So, the brain has decided to take that piece of information from perishable memory to long-term memory at a high level. That's the concept of retention and learning reinforcement.
So, I just wanted to come back to this here… If you implement a successful reinforcement strategy, you will have improved retention, you'll have improved performance, and this one is really critical, you'll also have at your fingertips powerful insights. And what are powerful insights? That's the analytics, that's the data, that's the information you as an individual or as an organization need to make informed decisions, improve your learning systems, and also make important critical decisions that impact you moving forward. If you're able to achieve these three, again the goal ultimately is maximization of ROI.
I just want to thank everybody for taking the time to experience our first Whiteboard on Learning Reinforcement and we look forward to sharing with you more topics and content around learning in the next few weeks. Thank you!

Ozzy's style and vocal timbre are instantly identifiable, which makes it fairly easy to cop for a cover. Ten Second Songs did exactly that and reimagined hits by The Police, Enya, Linkin Park, Harry Styles, and Papa Roach to sound like they were written by Ozzy himself.
Check it out above, and also stay tuned for the interesting ending for the video. Is Ten Second Songs really retiring? Is this just a plot to get people to talk about the channel? We're really hoping the channel stays around, as we've always really enjoyed it!

No Definitive Link Seen Between Vytorin and Cancer
Review results are reassuring, one cardiologist says
TUESDAY, Sept. 2, 2008 (HealthDay News) -- New research finds no definitive link between Vytorin and cancer risk, but it also suggests that the cholesterol-lowering drug cannot curb cardiovascular disease.
The results of a small study published recently suggested that Vytorin (ezetimibe) might boost the chances of developing cancer. In that study, called SEAS, researchers found that among patients taking Vytorin, 101 developed cancer, compared with 65 in the control group. Among these patients, 39 taking Vytorin died, compared with 23 in the control group.
However, a three-study analysis in the Sept. 2 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine did not find compelling evidence of such a connection. A second study in the same issue of the journal found that taking Vytorin with a statin did not benefit patients with abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve called aortic stenosis.

"Overall, the three ezetimibe trials show no credible evidence of any effect on cancer rates," the Oxford University researchers said about their review in a statement. "The SEAS result appears to have been a chance finding. When the results of all the trials are analyzed properly, no particular type of cancer is significantly increased, and there is no significant excess of death from any particular type of cancer."
"The recent, unexpected findings of the SEAS study raised concern that the use of the selective cholesterol-absorption inhibitor ezetimibe, which lowers LDL cholesterol through mechanisms different than statin medications, was associated with increased risk of cancer," said Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. "This new analysis, which included data from two larger ongoing clinical trials, is reassuring in that there has not been excess cancer risk observed in these two other trials."
"This study reduces our worry that ezetimibe might cause cancer, which was suggested by the recent SEAS study," Dr. Bryon Lee, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, said. "However, this doesn't address our lingering worry that ezetimibe simply might not work. It lowers cholesterol, but it has yet been shown to lower important endpoints like heart attack and stroke."
In the review, the Oxford group analyzed data from the ongoing SHARP and IMPROVE-IT studies. They found no increase in the risk of cancer among patients taking Vytorin. In both trials, 313 patients taking Vytorin developed cancer, compared with 326 in the control groups.
Among these patients, 97 of those taking Vytorin died from cancer, compared with 72 among patients not taking the drug, which is not considered a statistically significant difference.
"There is no evidence of a trend toward any cancer excess with more prolonged treatment," review co-author Rory Collins, from Oxford University, said in a statement. "Even among the people who had been in any of these studies for more than three years, cancer was recorded in 39 treatment versus 41 control patients. This does not provide support for there being a hazard."
Fonarow finds the results reassuring.
"Prior large-scale randomized trials and pooled analyses have clearly shown that the lowering of LDL cholesterol with statin medications substantially lowers the risk of heart attack, stroke, cardiac death and all-cause mortality without any increased risk of cancer or cancer-related deaths through five years of treatment and follow-up," Fonarow said.
Statins represent one of the most important therapeutic advances in cardiovascular medicine ever achieved, Fonarow noted.
But Vytorin may not benefit patients with abnormal narrowing of the aortic valve called aortic stenosis, the second NEJM study suggested.
In that trial, 1,873 patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis were randomly assigned to receive Vytorin plus simvastatin or a placebo.
After 52.2 months of follow-up, 35.3 percent of the patients taking Vytorin and simvastatin suffered a major cardiac event, including death from heart disease, aortic valve replacement, heart attack, heart failure, bypass surgery, angioplasty, or a stroke, compared with 38.2 percent of the patients receiving placebo.
"Simvastatin and ezetimibe did not reduce the composite outcome of combined aortic-valve events and ischemic events in patients with aortic stenosis. Such therapy reduced the incidence of ischemic cardiovascular events, but not events related to aortic-valve stenosis," the researchers concluded.
