How Will Obama's Presidency Change Hip-Hop?
by Zach Baron
So goes the headline on a smart Slate piece by Jonah Weiner about rap and Obama. Smart because it neatly grasps the theoretical implications an Obama win has for hip-hop. Weiner's crucial graf:
Obama's rise might weaken the position of those less explicitly political MCs, for instance, who rap about the allure of the drug trade in neighborhoods low on viable careers, or those whose gangsta tales make an implicit point about the conditions that create gangstas in the first place. Even an unabashedly crass commercialist like 50 Cent casts his boasts of alpha-male domination as a socioeconomic symptom: "Some say I'm gangsta, some say I'm crazy–if you ask me, I say I'm what the 'hood made me." Going forward, there may be less patience for this line of thinking. Our president overcame the disadvantages of growing up black and fatherless–what's your excuse?
So then in the new world order, T.I.'s self-flagellating Paper Trail might be what rap going forward looks like: "a work of personal reckoning well-suited for the "new era of responsibility," the bipolar chronicle of a gangsta passionately defending and critiquing the choices that have brought hard times upon him."
But one might also point out that it was precisely the "less explicitly political MCs" who "rap about the allure of the drug trade in neighborhoods low on viable careers" who were the rap bloc most effective in terms of getting Obama elected. Young Jeezy, T.I., and Jay-Z, probably the holy trinity of hip-hop for Obama in '08, were not known political entities before 2008. Neither T.I. nor Jeezy had even bothered to register prior to Obama. Far from having their positioned weakened, they were — as Jonah points out — actually awarded prime inauguration seats. Jay-Z played a presidential ball.
If anyone got marginalized, it was the Dead Prez-types, who'd been rapping about social change for years and then got wrong-footed when it finally came. What was interesting about rap and Obama in 2008 was not the de-legitimization of hip-hop's seedier stars but their ascension to real, honest-to-god political actors. In the process, they cleaned up, but not particularly — witness the concert at which Jay-Z and Jeezy unveiled their "My President" remix, and the O'Reilly flap that followed.
Some of this does make it into Jonah's piece —
At a basic level, Obama–and, to be sure, the recession–has put social awareness into vogue, and if he helps to foreclose a certain radicalism in hip-hop, these examples suggest a new style of political engagement, distinct from the long-marginalized sermons of so-called conscious rap.
— except that again, I'd argue that he's sort of got it backwards (well, except for the part about the deathblow dealt to "conscious rap"; agreed, and amen). What Obama did was open a whole new sphere of radicalism in hip-hop: one where the culture might conceivably bend to these guys as they are, rather than forcing them to become more like the Michael Steeles of the world just to get their voices heard.
What's being left behind here? Surely not this old line — "there is something inherently radical about hip-hop, period, a genre in which the historically voiceless command the microphone." The Vitamin Water ad-execs long ago put paid to this vision: anybody heard from Chuck D lately? In many ways, rappers have been wandering since in a desert of their own making. Weirdly, it was precisely Obama who taught them how to be radical again.

Please join us in prayer. Eucharistic Adoration is a practice in the Roman Catholic and Anglo-Catholic Church in which the Blessed Sacrament is adored by the faithful. This practice may occur either when the Eucharist is exposed, or when it is not publicly viewable because it is reserved in a place such as a church tabernacle.


Since then, Ann has led all three Catlin Arctic surveys. This environmental study captured vital information relating to the decreasing ice levels in the Arctic Ocean. Experiencing temperatures as low as -50C and dealing with various Polar bear encounters, Ann has sledge-hauled over 3000 miles in some of the world's most inhospitable environments, completing over 10 polar expeditions and surviving over 400 days on the ice.
She started out in the polar world as a mother of triplets with zero knowledge about the outdoors. Ann spent nine months teaching herself everything from navigating with a compass in whiteout conditions to cooking on a stove the size of a grapefruit in order be invited onto her first expedition, a unique relay to the North Pole. In 2009, she was asked by Pen Hadow to be his head of ice operations for the ground-breaking Catlin Arctic Survey. This project completed a unique environmental study of the rapidly disappearing frozen Arctic Ocean. Ann was responsible for leading the team on the ice and finding a safe route, making difficult decisions in the most extreme environment on Earth for 74 consecutive days. In 2010 and 2011 she also led the second and third Catlin Arctic survey, the only person to be invited to partake in all 3 expeditions.
Described by The Times as 'living proof that humans really can reach new peaks', Ann's achievements have been recognised by the Guinness Book of Records, The Pride of Britain Awards, The Foreign Office and the Women of the Year Awards. She is an inspiring and charismatic speaker, giving presentations on leadership, teamwork, motivation and environmental issues.

Traditional Wall Street research for medium sized companies is limited. This creates an opportunity for investors with fundamental research capabilities to identify attractive investment candidates or special situations. We organize our research team by industry rather than by strategy, which allows us to focus more investment resources per dollar of assets under management and identify securities that are not widely followed by Wall Street research.
H&W subscribes to a team-oriented, four-stage process. The goal is to employ a consistent, repeatable approach and create a diversified portfolio that exhibits attractive risk/return characteristics.
Analysts conduct industry research concentrated on determining long-run margins and returns on capital. We seek to understand the factors that influence changes in supply and demand in order to determine normal industry profitability. Competitive analysis, akin to a Porter's Five Forces approach, is also evaluated to obtain a better understanding of industry risks. Our analysts accumulate a body of knowledge over years that enable them to respond to dynamic markets quickly.
Using the industry research as a backdrop, the Analyst conducts detailed fundamental research at the company level. We focus on the company's long-run normal earnings power, which is the sustainable cash earnings of a company under equilibrium economic and competitive market conditions. Company analysis focuses on full cycle profitability, capital intensity, free cash flow and financial leverage. Analysts meet with company management to better understand the company's business model by its various divisions, capital allocation policy, return potential of current capital programs, shareholder orientation, and overall competence.
Next we do a risk assessment, which entails a variety of both financial and non-financial factors. We assess the company's ability to survive temporary, short-term distress without impairing the long-term value of its franchise. This includes a review of its financial leverage, historical cash flow volatility, available liquidity, access to capital, exposure to extreme events, and unusual profit concentrations. To augment the risk evaluation process we have developed a red flags analysis, which is a list of questions that helps identify subtle but potentially meaningful risks. The ultimate goal is to identify attractively valued companies with acceptable risk profiles.
To quantify return potential, we use one or more of several valuation techniques such as dividend discount model, multiple of normal earnings, or price to replacement costs depending on a variety of individual circumstances. The analyst also provides a risk assessment highlighting critical issues that could affect the company and its stock price. Finally, the analyst summarizes the recommendation with an investment thesis and recommended weight.
Each step of the in-depth evaluation is subject to peer review by the Portfolio Managers. In addition to reviewing financial models and ensuring integrity/consistency, the reviewers play a devil's advocate role to challenge the thesis and modeling assumptions. The primary objective is to solidify our belief in valuation and security risk. Sector Teams also consider macroeconomic trends and the potential effect on the portfolio. Once ideas are thoroughly vetted, the Analyst and Portfolio Managers jointly decide on a target weight.
We employ a bottom-up, risk-controlled portfolio construction process with the primary goal of generating attractive risk-adjusted returns. Portfolio Managers assess recommendations within the context of the overall portfolio. They consider the relative attractiveness of opportunities and assess the complementary nature of new ideas with the existing portfolio. Portfolio Managers have responsibility for creating and maintaining a target portfolio for the investment strategy, generating trades and assuring compliance with client guidelines—buy, sell, and monitor.

The public declaration by celebrity Angelina Jolie that she has had a prophylactic (preventative) double mastectomy has sparked lots of discussion. Did Angelina do the right thing? Her mother died of breast cancer and Angelina knew she had the breast cancer gene BRCA1, a genetic mutation that occurs in less than 1 percent of the population.


Use an Arrow to Indicate Special Points.
People often want to use an arrow or other symbol to indicate a point in a chart. If you draw an arrow, or any AutoShape, in a chart, it is not in any way tied to the data or to the chart axes, so it will not move to keep up with a point as the axes change or the chart resizes. Even if the chart does not change, an AutoShape is not guaranteed to be in exactly the same position the next time the file is opened. This technique shows how to attach an indicator (arrow) to a point by creating custom markers for the Min and Max series.
This example is based on the Special Format for Minimum and Maximum example. Start with the last chart in the Min/Max example, using small square markers, no lines, and no labels for the Min and Max series.
Make arrows of the size and format that you need, and circles of twice that size. The shapes will be aligned (and grouped) so that the point of the arrow will be in the center of the circle, and therefore centered on the point. In this example, the green and red arrows are one row tall, and the circle two rows in diameter.
The floating command bar is the Align or Distribute tear-away menu from the Drawing toolbar. The first step is to select the shapes.
Align the shapes using the Align Center button on the menu.
Select just the circles, and hide them by changing their formats to No Line and No Fill.
Select the green arrow and the corresponding circle, and group the shapes. Select the red arrow and its circle, and group them.
Copy the grouped shape with the green arrow, then select the Max series in the chart, and use Ctrl+V or Paste from the Edit menu, and the series will use the copied shape as the custom marker for the series.
Note: If you select a series before pasting the shape, the entire series takes on the shape as its markers. If you select just a point, only that point will use the shape.
Copy the grouped shape with the red arrow, then select the Min series in the chart, and paste, to apply the copied shape to the series.
The purpose of the circle is further illustrated in the chart below. The circle used to make the custom markers now has a faint outline, so you can see how each entire marker is centered on its point, even though the arrows are offset.
The arrows are ineffective as legend keys, because the arrow/circle shape is shrunk to fit in the space of the original marker. Remove each legend entry from the legend by clicking once to select the legend, then clicking again to select the individual legend entry, and pressing Delete (click to select the text label, not the marker, or you will delete the entire series).
As with the data labels in the earlier example, if the data changes, the markers still highlight the maximum and minimum points.

When Kahu was at primary school, her teacher asked her to write about what she wanted to be when she grew up. Without thinking twice, Kahu wrote down 'lawyer'.
Kahu says her interest in practicing law was inspired by an aunt, who works as a family lawyer in Hamilton. "I saw her helping children and always being there for them—I wanted to be able to help people too."
She says the decision to come to Victoria University of Wellington to study law was also an easy one.
"From visiting Wellington as a kid I knew I loved the city. I also knew that Wellington's law school was the best in the country and is located right at New Zealand's heart of decision-making."
Alongside her Law degree, Kahu is also studying towards a Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Māori Studies and Māori Resource Management.
"It's been fantastic to study things like the Treaty of Waitangi—it applies to so many aspects of New Zealand's constitution and people's lives, generally," she says. "There's so much more to learn about it too, which is really exciting."
While initially nervous about leaving her whānau and friends behind in Waikato, Kahu quickly settled into life in the capital city. She spent her first year at Te Puni hall of residence where she made what she says will be lifelong friends.
She also attended Māori students' orientation activities at the University's Te Herenga Waka Marae. "Te Herenga Waka is amazing—there is a poupou (carved wall panel) for each iwi, which allows everyone to hitch their waka (canoe) there—regardless of where they come from. It was great to meet other Māori students in the same situation as me and make a real connection with them, which continues to this day," she says. "They have become my whānau on campus, and the marae is my home away from home."
"The diverse culture at Victoria University of Wellington makes me feel very comfortable being a Māori student here—the support I've received has made the transition from home and school to a new city and a different way of learning relatively easy."
Kahu has made the most of the many student networks available at Victoria University of Wellington, including Te Pūtahi Atawhai, a support service for Māori and Pasifika students. "They host mentoring sessions, tutorials and study wānanga to assist you through your journey at university, which help you so much."
Kahu is currently co-president of Ngā Rangahautira (Māori Law Students' Association), and has also been heavily involved with Ngāi Tauira (the Māori students' association).
Growing up, Kahu was surrounded by her Māori heritage, something she now says she took for granted.
"My first language was te reo Māori—that's all we spoke at home and at kura kaupapa (Māori-language immersion school), so I was fully immersed in both Māori language and culture," she says. "But after starting at university I quickly understood not every Māori student was as lucky as I was to grow up identifying so strongly with Māori culture and I realised I could turn that into an opportunity."
"I learned that I had something to offer—I could share my knowledge with those students who wanted to know a bit more te reo or learn more about tikanga Māori, and help them with their journey to embrace their heritage. For example, I now give back in a way that I have always wanted by using my intiative and hosting waiata practice and tutoring te reo Māori."
Kahu has firm plans for the future, and would like to continue sharing her knowledge—this time, taking what she's learned at university back to her iwi (Te Arawa and Waikato).
"I would ideally love to take the skills and knowledge I've learned at university back to my home, to my community, to my marae, so that I can help my whānau in a meaningful way."


Lincoln Hub partners with Tech Futures Lab to grow agritech expertise - Lincoln Hub.
Tech Futures Lab, in partnership with Lincoln Hub, is bringing applicable and highly-relevant agritech knowledge and expertise to business professionals this November. In a new, specifically designed focus of the Master of Applied Practice – Technological Futures, individuals will gain access to a diverse network of experts and practitioners in this field and work to understand, create and develop business opportunities based on tech-enabled agriculture in New Zealand.
Agritech is a burgeoning field globally with many innovations and advancements happening at a rapid pace and fundamentally reshaping how we farm, cultivate crops and rear animals. Agriculture has long been considered the backbone of New Zealand, and now agritech presents the opportunity to create sustainable economic growth and establish ourselves on the world stage.
Teaming up with Lincoln Hub, Tech Futures Lab is offering those interested in or working within agriculture and technology the opportunity to gain and develop skills and knowledge in this space, and team up with industry leaders to work on a personal project. Candidates in the agritech focus will join the rest of the November cohort for other sessions on emerging and disruptive technologies, core business strategies, and fireside chats with a diverse array of guest speakers.
"Agritech is a hugely important sector for New Zealand, and while there is innovation happening around the country there are many individuals and business leaders who want to understand more or develop a specific project but do not have access to the expertise and knowledge. The agritech focus of our Master's has been designed in partnership with Lincoln Hub to bridge that gap. We are putting you together with leaders to enable you to flesh out your ideas or project with industry-backed research and real-world solutions," says Sarah Hindle, Tech Futures Lab General Manager.
Committed to land-based productivity and sustainability, Lincoln Hub is linked with businesses who have rich experience and a depth of knowledge in agritech and enables candidates to gain hands-on experience and see projects and research at work. Candidates will spend four weeks during the immersion phase of the programme with Lincoln Hub's partners around the country.

Opinion 3
Home/Opinion 3
Summary: A judge may not serve in a fiduciary capacity, on behalf of a non-family member, although named in a will executed before, but where the testator dies after, the date the Code of Judicial Conduct becomes effective as to that judge.
Issued: December 03, 1975
The Judicial Qualifications Commission has been requested to give its opinion as to whether the provisions of Rule 3.8(A) which prohibit a judge from serving in a fiduciary capacity except with respect to the estate, trust or person of a member of his family, would prohibit a judge from serving in a case where he was named in a will executed before, but where the testator died after, the effective date of the code.
Our opinion is that the code would prohibit a judge serving as fiduciary in these circumstances.
Rule 3.8(A) specifically states:
Judges should not serve as fiduciaries, except for the estates, trusts, or persons of members of their families, and then only if such service will not 38 interfere with the proper performance of their judicial duties. As family fiduciaries, judges are subject to the following restrictions.
The present question, of course, does not involve fiduciary service with respect to a member of the judge's family.
A provision relating to the effective date of the code provides:
A person to whom this Code becomes applicable should arrange his affairs as soon as reasonably possible to comply with it. If, however, the demands on his time and the possibility of conflicts of interest are not substantial, a person who holds judicial office on the date this Code becomes effective may continue to act as an executor, administrator, trustee, or other fiduciary for the estate or person of one who is not a member of his family. [Italics ours.]
A will is not effective until the death of the maker and it would follow that a judge would not be considered as having been appointed and having assumed the office as executor under a will merely by virtue of the fact that he was named as such therein.
Since the Code of Judicial Conduct specifically prohibits a judge from serving in such a fiduciary capacity and since the only exception is to the effect that he may "continue" to serve, it follows that a judge could not under the canons serve where at the time of the effective date of the canons he was not then actually serving in a fiduciary capacity but was only named as such in a will of a person who was still in life.
[Pertinent Code of Judicial Conduct provisions: Rules 2.2 and 3.8(A). Cross reference to other relevant opinions for review: #10, #51, #80, #95.]

Has your tooth been injured, or is it severely decayed, or highly sensitive to temperature changes? Instead of extracting that tooth, your Boca Raton, FL dentist, Dr. Alfred Huber of Reserve Dental Group, may propose root canal treatment, or endodontic therapy. Often thought of as a painful, lengthy procedure, root canal therapy is really a comfortable, tooth-sparing, 2-visit process that keeps your tooth in place and functioning for years.
Named for the inner chamber in one of up to 4 tooth roots, root canal therapy removes diseased connective tissue, blood supply and nerves from the adult tooth. By x-ray and visual inspection, Dr. Huber can tell if a tooth will function well after this time-tested and reliable procedure. He always prefers saving a natural tooth rather than extracting to keep jaw and gums from receding and to keep surrounding teeth strong and in good alignment. Plus, nothing looks, feels or bites and chews quite like a real tooth.
After numbing the area with a local anesthetic and protecting soft tissues with a rubber dam, Dr. Huber drills a small hole into the first of the root canals to be treated. He uses several small files to remove the diseased pulp and to clean and smooth the canal walls. He instills anti-microbial medication if necessary and fills the chamber with gutta-percha, a natural, rubbery sealant.
Dr. Huber then places a temporary filling or crown on the tooth and sends the patient home to heal. Over the counter ibuprofen or acetaminophen, along with a soft diet for a day or 2, usually is sufficient to control any discomfort.
In a week or so, the patient returns to Reserve Dental Group to receive a custom-made porcelain crown to cover the treated tooth. A Boca Raton root canal should last for many years of reliable service. Good at-home brushing and flossing supports gum and bone health as do 6-month check-ups and cleanings with Dr. Huber.
If you have symptoms of an ailing tooth, call Reserve Dental Group in Boca Raton, FL right away. You can count on Dr. Huber and his dedicated team for an accurate diagnosis and precise and caring treatment. Call (561) 852-7773 for an appointment.
Find out why a root canal is really nothing to be worried about.
Has your Dentist, Dr. Alfred Huber at the Reserve Dental Group, told you that you need a root canal? For some, those two words are enough to stir panic. But we are here to tell you that a root canal is really nothing to be scared of. Knowledge is power! Find out more about your upcoming procedure so you can feel more at ease.
What is the purpose of a root canal?
This endodontic treatment is designed to treat problems that are affecting the dental pulp, or inside of the tooth. The dental pulp is the feeling part of the tooth, which contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissues. However, this structure is not required for your tooth to remain healthy. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected this often causes severe pain. Damage to the pulp can occur due to infection, decay or injury. When this happens your Boca Raton, FL will recommend root canal treatment.
I'm scared of my upcoming root canal. What should I know about this procedure?
We can assure you that a root canal is nothing to fear. A root canal might seem invasive, but it's really no more aggressive than having a tooth filled.
Many patients also come to us in serious pain and discomfort because of infection or decay. These patients are desperately looking for relief. Luckily, that's exactly what a root canal provides. In fact, after the procedure is over many people report feeling instant relief from their pain.
And if you still aren't convinced, your Dentist, at the Reserve Dental Group in Boca Raton, FL will also administer local anesthesia to the treatment area prior to your root canal. This ensures that the area is numb during your procedure and that you won't experience any pain.
If you find that you still have questions or concerns about getting a root canal, know that your Boca Raton dentist Dr. Huber wants to make you feel as comfortable as possible. We would be happy to address any of your questions or worries. Call Reserve Dental Group, at 561-852-7773 today!

Why are Australia's shrublands like 'knee-high tropical rainforests'?
Credit: Etienne Laliberté
MONTREAL, Jan. 12, 2017 – Some of the Earth's ecosystems host a disproportionately high number of plant species, and infertile shrublands in warm semi-arid regions support 20 per cent of the world's plant species on five percent of the land surface. In particular, some shrublands in South-Western Australia are so species-rich that some botanists refer to them as "knee-high tropical rainforests."
How a large number of plant species can successfully coexist while competing for space and limiting resources has puzzled ecologists for decades. In a new paper published today in the prestigious journal Science, a team of researchers from Australia, Canada, Sweden and Panama, led by Associate Professor Etienne Laliberté from Université de Montréal's Department of Biological Sciences, suggest that part of the answer for such high plant diversity resides in the myriad of root-associated organisms that live in soils.
Plant roots constantly interact with a wide range of different soil organisms. While some of these organisms are harmful and eat roots or cause diseases, others are beneficial and enhance nutrient acquisition and protect roots against pathogens.
"The effects that specific groups of soil biota have on individual plant performance have been studied intensively, especially in agricultural systems," said Laliberté. "However, until now the collective influence of soil biota for the maintenance of plant species diversity in natural vegetation was poorly known."
The researchers selected a large number of plant species from a very high diversity shrubland in South-Western Australia, and exposed plants from each of these species to soil biota collected either from the rooting zone of plants of its own species or from other species.
"We found that some plant species grew better in their 'own' soils, yet many others actually performed best when exposed to soils from other species," said Laliberté. "Using simulations, we showed that these complex interactions between plants mediated by soil biota equalised growth differences between plant species, thus promoting their long-term coexistence."
The study highlights the important role that soil biota can play in the maintenance of plant diversity in species-rich ecosystems.
About the study:
This study was funded by the Australian Research Council and is part of Etienne Laliberté's broader research program into the ecological consequences of plant-soil interactions. He is affiliated with UdeM's Biodiversity Centre, at the Institut de recherche en biologie végétale, within the Department of Biological Sciences, and is Adjunct Senior Lecturer at the University of Western Australia (UWA). Dr François Teste, the first author of the study, was at the time a postdoctoral researcher in Dr. Laliberté's group at UWA.

Man fined £1,500 for chopping down a tree on his own land
by Joe Wilkinson | Aug 13, 2014 | Featured Slider, News
A man is out of pocket by more than £1,500 after chopping down an oak tree – which was on his own land.
Haulage contractor Peter Seales, of Juliet Way, Purfleet, was ordered to pay £667 fine as well as £828 costs and a £66 victim surcharge after pleading guilty to contravening a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) issued by Basildon Borough Council.
Basildon Magistrates' Court heard how on October 23 last year Seales caused or permitted the destruction of a protected oak on land he owns south of St Annes, Southbourne Grove, in Wickford.
Speaking after the court hearing, councillor Richard Moore, Basildon Council's cabinet member for planning said: "I am pleased with the magistrate's decision as it sends out a very strong message that this, and let's be frank here, kind of wilful destruction and complete disregard of the law, will not be tolerated in our borough."


Buffalo Wild Wings won big after swapping traditional wings for boneless wings.
Chicken wing costs have increased substantially over the past year.
Buffalo Wild Wings' new boneless wings deal was able to drive traffic to the chain without cutting into profit margins.
Investing in boneless chicken wings is paying off for Buffalo Wild Wings.
On Wednesday, the company reported earnings per share in the third quarter reached $1.36, crushing analysts' estimate of $0.79. Sales at stores open for at least one year fell by 2.3% at company-owned restaurants.
Buffalo Wild Wings shares soared nearly 22% in extended trading, after the company raised its forecast for full-year earnings.
One major reason for Buffalo Wild Wing's newfound optimism is the chain's switch to boneless wings.
"The recent Tuesday promotion shift from traditional to boneless wings at company-owned restaurants will continue to improve cost of sales while traditional wing prices remain elevated," CEO Sally Smith said in a statement.
In September, Buffalo Wild Wings cancelled its popular Tuesday wings deal in favor of a boneless wings "buy-one, get-one" offer.
Customers' love for half-priced wings had been hurting Buffalo Wild Wings because of "historically high" wing costs. Chicken wings cost $2.16 per pound on average in the third quarter. One year ago, the average cost was $1.72.
While the wings deal boosted same-store sales, using traditional wings cut into restaurants' margins.
Basically, while the deal was bringing in customers, it was costing restaurants too much money. Now that the chain has switched to boneless wings, the deal has the power to attract customers without cutting into Buffalo Wild Wings' bottom line.


President Trump launched a string of Twitter attacks on Amazon.com Inc. over the weekend and is reportedly looking for ways to target the monster e-commerce company.
Trump's beef with Amazon is exacerbated by the fact that chief executive Jeff Bezos also owns The Washington Post, which has provoked Trump by its negative coverage of him.
"He's off the hook on this. It's war," a White House source told Vanity Fair's Gabriel Sherman.
Trump said before the Easter weekend that the Post Office loses $1.50 on average for each package it delivers for Amazon, a statistic that has been challenged by analysts. The company also pays the sales tax in 45 states.
By Monday Amazon was still on the president's mind, and stock dipped again 5 percent.
Trump plans to keep attacking Amazon on Twitter but is also considering asking the Post Office to raise Amazon's shipping costs. Former economic adviser Gary Cohn had recommended against such a move and told the president that the Post Office actually makes money from Amazon.
Current advisers are pushing Trump to cancel Amazon Web Services' pending $10 billion contract with the Pentagon. Republican attorney generals could also investigate Amazon's business practices.
The "fake Washington Post" is used as a "lobbyist" and should register as one, Trump said.
"Trump doesn't like The New York Times, but he reveres it because it's his hometown paper. The Washington Post, he has zero respect for," a Republican source said to Vanity Fair.


We take a look at traditional radio broadcast in India and how it's being used by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power two years ago, packing lots of political baggage and, since then, some of his policies have divided Indians.
The fact that he is a good media performer helps, but his most recent move to declare more than 80 percent of Indian money in circulation illegal, in a stated effort to combat what's called "black money" has been difficult to spin.
A good deal of financial chaos ensued. So, Modi took to the airwaves and made it the subject of his latest 'Mann ki Baat' chat on the state-owned network, All India Radio, which is one of the world's largest and reaches more than 98 percent of India's 1.3 billion people.
He wants to bypass the press, so he is having a direct communication with the people of India.
The show's title, "Mann ki Baat," loosely translates to 'heart to heart'.
It's an old model. US President Franklin Roosevelt was doing his fireside chats in the 1930s, but this is the first time an Indian prime minister has chosen to speak to the nation regularly in this way.
Why has Modi chosen to speak to his people over the radio instead of television?
"Radio is a much more intimate media than television. Modi does give the impression that he is speaking to them almost individually. And, of course, for millions and millions of Indians, who are just used to politicians coming occasionally at time of elections, making promises and walking away again and never being seen again, here is this prime minister who appears to be talking to them individually," explains Mark Tully, former New Delhi Bureau chief of BBC India.
And that is bound to have an effect on millions of Indians who listen to it.
According to consulting editor for The Hoot, Shuma Raha, Prime Minister Modi "has this very sophisticated 360 degree direct to the people, so 'Mann ki Baat' fits into that beautifully".
However, not everyone is convinced that Modi, who has been notorious for avoiding the Indian news media, wants to directly engage with the people.
"He wants to bypass the press, so he is having a direct communication with the people of India ... He has not chosen the interview mode, because he's not trusting the press ... Don't forget, he is not trying to connect with the urban masses," says Kingshuk Nag, Hyderabad resident editor for the Times of India.
Adding on to those sentiments, Tully notes, " Modi is a one-man band. Nobody else counts. And therefore, as a one-man band, he is the only person who really speaks for the government, and he is the only person who is heard."
To be heard across the country, every month, in a format he can control - access to huge audiences, without questions from pesky reporters, has been seen as a media masterstroke for Modi. But he still has to persuade those listening - especially in light of recent plans to demonetise the 500 and 100 rupee notes.
"Now, the question is, has he explained to the people why we want to go to [a] cashless society? And what happened to his earlier talk about doing away [with] black money? So this time, I don't think he did connect with a lot of people. Demonetisation has thrown everybody's life out of gear and this 'Mann ki Baat', I don't think had much resonance with a lot of people," says Kingshuk Nag.
Talking us through the story are: Madhuker Upadhyay, consultant, All India Radio; Mark Tully, former new delhi bureau chief, BBC India; Shuma Raha, consulting editor, The Hoot; and Kingshuk Nag, Hyderabad resident editor, Times of India.
Nidhi Dutt looks at whether there is substance to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's polished media operation.
While PM has been praised for his intentions, he is facing flak from political opponents and prominent economists.

Sea ice facilitates delivery of organic contaminants to the Arctic marine food web.
Organic contaminants are concentrated in brine, under-ice seawater, and melt ponds.
We model contaminant concentrations in melt ponds based on air concentrations.
CUPs pose a risk of increased exposures via dry deposition to melt ponds.
Dry deposition to melt ponds is important loading route of CUPs to the Arctic Ocean.
For decades sea ice has been perceived as a physical barrier for the loading of contaminants to the Arctic Ocean. We show that sea ice, in fact, facilitates the delivery of organic contaminants to the Arctic marine food web through processes that: 1) are independent of contaminant physical–chemical properties (e.g. 2–3-fold increase in exposure to brine-associated biota), and 2) depend on physical–chemical properties and, therefore, differentiate between contaminants (e.g. atmospheric loading of contaminants to melt ponds over the summer, and their subsequent leakage to the ocean). We estimate the concentrations of legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and current-use pesticides (CUPs) in melt pond water in the Beaufort Sea, Canadian High Arctic, in 2008, at near-gas exchange equilibrium based on Henry's law constants (HLCs), air concentrations and exchange dynamics. CUPs currently present the highest risk of increased exposures through melt pond loading and drainage due to the high ratio of melt pond water to seawater concentration (Melt pond Enrichment Factor, MEF), which ranges from 2 for dacthal to 10 for endosulfan I. Melt pond contaminant enrichment can be perceived as a hypothetical 'pump' delivering contaminants from the atmosphere to the ocean under ice-covered conditions, with 2–10% of CUPs annually entering the Beaufort Sea via this input route compared to the standing stock in the Polar Mixed Layer of the ocean. The abovementioned processes are strongly favored in first-year ice compared to multi-year ice and, therefore, the dynamic balance between contaminant inventories and contaminant deposition to the surface ocean is being widely affected by the large-scale icescape transition taking place in the Arctic.

Kermit L. Racey '49, 51L
At 88 years old, Kermit L. Racey is still practicing law in Woodstock, Va., something he's been doing for six decades. But, in a wonderful feature story in the July 22 edition of The Northern Virginia Daily, Kermit admitted that "I'm getting to the point where I've slowed down considerably." So Kermit, who received both his bachelor's and law degrees from W&L, says he might make this his last year of practice. Not that he's really contemplating retirement, though. He plans to write a book about his experiences.
Kermit entered the University after serving in World War II and partook of a special program offered at the time, earning his undergraduate degree in 1949 and his law degree in 1951. After graduating, he spent six years as a judge advocate general in Europe and North Africa before returning to Woodstock, where he sat for 10 years as a county judge, spent one term as commonwealth's attorney and has practiced with his son Kermit II in the firm Racey & Racey.
The Northern Virginia Daily story includes numerous anecdotes from Kermit's courtroom days, including his view that lawyers used to be much friendlier with one another, and his philosophy that you have to win more than 50 percent of your cases to avoid being a failure.
Maryland Bar Honors W&L Alum Hamp Tisdale '74L

Judge John H. Tisdale '74L
During its annual meeting in Ocean City, Md., earlier this month, the Maryland State Bar Association honored Judge John H. (Hamp) Tisdale, of Washington and Lee's Law School Class of 1974, with the 2011 Anselm Sodaro Award for Judicial Civility.
Hamp has been associate judge of the Frederick (Md.) County Circuit Court, 6th Judicial Circuit, since January 1995. He announced earlier this year that he would be retiring this month.
The Sodaro Award, named for a former judge of the Supreme Bench of Baltimore City Circuit Court, is given to a Maryland judge "whose courtroom demeanor best exemplifies the high ideals of civility and courtesy practiced by the late Judge Anselm Sodaro."
Hamp was praised for "his deep regard for those appearing before him by treating all with courtesy, dignity and respect. He has been described as 'the epitome of judicial temperament, . . . a gentleman and a scholar, with apparently unlimited patience and a genuine civility toward jurors, litigants, witnesses and … attorneys.'"
A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Hamp entered the W&L Law School after four years of active duty in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. He had a general practice in Frederick, Md., before being named to the circuit court. Involved in a variety of committees with the state board, Hamp will finish a term as chair of the Judicial Ethics Committee of the Maryland Judicial Conference.
Law Alum Part of Pro Bono Honor

Brant Phillips '97L
Brant Phillips, a 1997 graduate of the Washington and Lee School of Law, was part of a small team of lawyers from his Nashville firm, Bass, Berry & Sims PLC, that spent more than two-and-a-half years and invested more than 2,500 hours in a clemency petition effort on behalf of Edward Jerome Harbison, a Tennessee death row inmate.
A month before Harbison's scheduled execution, in January 2011, Tennessee Gov. Philip Bredesen commuted Harbison's sentence to life without parole. Earlier this year Brant and the law firm were honored with the Tennessee Bar Association's 2011 Corporate Counsel Pro Bono Initiative Award for work on the case.
Harbison was sentenced to death by a Tennessee court in 1983, and, for nearly 27 years, he had attempted to get his sentence overturned through state and federal legislation. Through their work, Brant and his team showed that Harbison's death sentence was the result of ineffective counsel and that the sentence was disproportionate to the punishment given to others who committed similar crimes in the state.
In nominating the firm for the Tennessee Bar Association honor, Nashville lawyer David Garrison with the law firm of Barrett Johnston wrote, "Few firms in Tennessee could have (or would have) brought to bear the resources that were necessary to make this outcome for Mr. Harbison possible. Bass Berry's willingness to do so sets an example for other large law firms in our state and shows an ongoing commitment to justice for the indigent and underserved that deserves to be recognized."
Brant is a member of Bass, Berry & Sims' litigation and government advocacy practice areas. He handles complex business litigation, recently serving as lead counsel for King Pharmaceuticals Inc. and its board in shareholder class actions relating to $3.6 billion buyout of King by Pfizer Inc., as well as securities and shareholder class action defense, derivative actions and business fraud. He is listed in The Best Lawyers in America® for administrative law and the Nashville Business Journal's Best of the Bar (2008). He joined the Nashville firm in 1998 after serving as a law clerk to Judge William M. Acker Jr., on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.
Law Alum's Documentary on Henry Clay Airs
Published June 14, 2011	Alumni , General News , School of Law Closed
Kent Masterson Brown
"Henry Clay and the Struggle for the Union," a documentary on Henry Clay and his role in the events that led up to the Civil War, is airing this month on Kentucky's PBS affiliate, KET. The hour-long program was written and is hosted by Kent Masterson Brown, a 1974 graduate of Washington and Lee's School of Law and a well-known historian.
Kent is in private law practice in Lexington, Ky., but continues to research and write on Civil War topics. Not only he is the founder and former editor in chief of The Civil War: The Magazine of the Civil War Society, but he also has won numerous awards for his books, which include Retreat From Gettysburg: Lee, Logistics and the Pennsylvania Campaign, Cushing of Gettysburg: The Story of a Union Artillery Commander, and The Civil War in Kentucky: Battle for the Bluegrass State.
The new documentary aired for the first time on Monday night (June 13) but has numerous other air dates coming up this month. And for those who can't see it on TV, the DVD is also available for purchase online at www.witnessinghistoryonline.com.
In a news release announcing the program, Kent describes it as exploring "the impact of slavery on the westward expansion of the nation and how the conflict between North and South was, in the end, irrepressible. History is nothing but lessons and there is much we can glean from Clay's political career and the Compromises of 1820, 1833 and 1850."
The documentary was produced by Witnessing History L.L.C., which was founded in 2007 by Ken and producer-director Douglas High. In addition to producing documentaries and publishing books, the company hosts guided tours of Civil War battlefields.
Retiring Attorney

Al Mitchell '67L
After four terms as commonwealth's attorney for Shenandoah County, Va., Washington and Lee law alumnus Albert T. Mitchell, of the Class of 1967, has announced he won't seek re-election in November. Al was appointed to the position by the judges of the 26th Judicial Circuit in 1999 and then was elected to the position in November of that same year.
In an article announcing his decision in the Northern Virginia Daily, Al said that, as a prosecutor, he enjoys the legal questions that arise out of every case, whether it has a high profile or not. "There are decisions you have to make every day in district court. Someone running a stop sign, reckless driving, DUI; there are so many different kinds of evidence," he told the paper. "No two cases have ever been identical."
Al received his bachelor's degree from the University of Richmond before earning the law degree at W&L. He has practiced law in Shenandoah County since 1967 and has been town attorney for Woodstock, Va., from 1970 to the present. Before he was appointed commonwealth's attorney, he had spent nine years as an assistant.
Roscoe B. Stephenson Jr. '43, '47L Dies at 89
Justice Roscoe B. Stephenson Jr. '43, '47L
In the eight years that Washington and Lee alumnus Roscoe B. Stephenson Jr. served as judge of the Alleghany County Circuit Court, his decisions were never reversed. That is surely one of the reasons that Stephenson was elevated to the Virginia Supreme Court in 1981. He served as a justice for 16 years before retiring in 1997 at the age of 75.
Justice Stephenson died Tuesday in Covington, Va. He was 89.
A native of Alleghany County, he had attended the public schools there and, following a year in the Army, entered W&L, receiving his B.A. in 1943 and his J.D. in 1947 from the School of Law. Known as "Rocky," Stephenson began in partnership with his father in Covington and served as commonwealth's attorney for Alleghany County for eight years before returning to private practice. He was elected as a judge to the 25th Judicial Circuit of Virginia in 1973 and subsequently to the Virginia Supreme Court.
Among the decisions he wrote for the court were ones upholding the state's cap on awards in medical malpractice cases and affirming the use of DNA evidence in the case of Timothy W. Spencer. The 1989 Spencer case became the first in which a man was sentenced to death based largely on DNA evidence. Known as "the Southside Strangler," he had been convicted of raping and strangling four women over 11 weeks in 1987. There were no surviving victims, no fingerprints, no confession. Then DNA tests linked the crime scenes with Spencer. He was executed in April 1994.
In the Richmond Times-Dispatch story on Stephenson's death, Justice Harry L. Carrico, a former chief justice, said: "He was a wonderful person, he was a wonderful judge, he was a highly ethical person and highly caring person and just an all-around wonderful human being."
When Stephenson retired in 1997, he stayed on as a senior justice. His departure led to a deadlock in the General Assembly about his successor, who was ultimately appointed by then-Gov. George Allen. The seat was filled by Justice Cynthia Kinser, who is now the court's chief justice.
A funeral will be held Friday in Covington. Survivors include Roscoe B. Stephenson III, a member of the W&L Law Class of 1981.

Back when I was dating, I had a list of ideal features and qualities that I hoped to find in a someday spouse. Personality traits, family values, life experience…those sorts of things. This list helped me think a little more intentionally about who I ended up with and gave me an ideal to pursue.
When you were back window-shopping the marketing automation platform tools, you probably had a similar list. Instead of personality traits, you probably considered price point, and instead of family values, you more likely thought of technical capabilities.
If you're like many modern marketers, the ability of your marketing automation platform to talk to your CRM was probably (hopefully!) high on that list – and maybe even one of the reasons you ended up with Marketo.
The Marketo-Salesforce integration is one of the most attractive and useful qualities of the Marketo platform tool. Built as a native integration, the bidirectional and controllable sync of the two platforms equips marketing, sales and many others that play a role in the customer journey to work from a shared set of information.
Marketo and Salesforce together help you understand the digital body language of a lead and how it relates to the demographic and firmographic data. Together, they can help you take action on the analytics that result from the marriage of the two systems. The integration is key in marketing and sales alignment, in transforming marketing into a profit center and in empowering marketing to do smarter initiatives.
Like most things in life, a Marketo-Salesforce integration is by no means a set it and forget it kind of deal. While it doesn't need a lot of ongoing maintenance, it's definitely something that you'll need to tend to over time. Sync errors occur, but both tools also continue to improve in their functionality, and your marketing maturity will hopefully only increase, so you'll want to keep a good pulse on the state of the systems. There's also a lot of neat "bonus" type things you can utilize your integration to do, like advanced lead lifecycle reporting and triggering off different Salesforce data points.
Setting up your Salesforce/Marketo integration involves a hefty amount of planning. You need to consider how the databases are going to align, profiles and hierarchy, lead assignment roles and ownership, and the source of truth when it comes to data points. We'll cover all this and more in our article on setting up your Salesforce/Marketo integration.
Optimizing your Salesforce/Marketo integration is one of the most important tasks to complete after setting up your instance. You should not have a "set it and forget it" mentality when it comes to your integration. In this article, we'll show you how to keep your Salesforce campaigns active and how to set their dates, how to customize activities and utilize tokens, how to use Salesforce reporting based on Marketo activity, how to use Marketo Sales Insight and much more.
We never like it when it when it happens, but trouble happens to the best of us. In this article, we'll talk you through some of the most common errors that occur with Salesforce/Marketo integrations, including the dreaded bad picklist error (the most common error message). We'll also tell you how to investigate a sync error.
My hope is that you'll fall in love with your integration and get more out of both Marketo and Salesforce. After all, you're married now. It's time to make it work!

The Story of i3Detroit
(Redirected from The Story of i3 Detroit)
1 Founding
2 Royal Oak
3 Moving to Ferndale
4 Present Day
The founding of i3 Detroit largely started with Russ Wolfe. Russ read an article in Wired magazine that described the ideas and principles behind hackerspaces and their recent growth in popularity. Russ gathered a group of like-minded people, had a logo designed, and set up a website. He put significant effort into seeking out people who would be interested and in bringing them together. That effort was a huge part of i3's success. The initial group of people complete strangers to each other, so there wasn't an in-group and an out-group. The initial members also all had many different skill sets, interests, and perspectives (as much as a group of white suburban males can). The group debated a lot, but if they could all agree on something, they knew they were on the right track. There were five people at the first meeting at the Coffee Beanery in Berkley in April 2009. By July 2009, three months later, there were 9 members; the group started collecting dues!
By this time, the group was spending a lot of time meeting and discussing how to build a hackerspace and they were not actually making anything as a group. Matt Switlik, a founding member, opened up his garage to the group, so they started to have meetings in Matt's garage. They started by holding a small build session to build bristlebots. It was a fun activity that got everyone to actually build something together. This was the first meeting that Nick Britsky attended. The group found out that Ann Arbor was going to hold a mini-Maker Faire, so they decided to do a group build for exhibition. The group project for the mini-Maker Faire was a giant rideable bristlebot. The group presented itself at the mini-Maker Faire as i3 Detroit, with information about their grassroots effort andbooklets on how to become a member.
After the mini-Maker Faire, i3 Detroit really needed and wanted a space. Jaime Wolfe, Russ Wolfe's wife, helped run the financial numbers for a few different spaces and determined the financial needs to survive. The founding members agreed to fund the space with $100 monthly dues. The group had negotiated a space in Royal Oak down to an affordable initial rate that increased over time as the group was expected to grow. The group had 13 members when they took possession of the Royal Oak space on Labor Day weekend of 2009.
i3 Detroit spent the next month as a group putting their personal time and money into bettering the space. They set a goal of holding a grand opening in October. After a long month of working late into the nights with both members and guests (who started stopping by the space and stuck around to help with the build out (Nate Warnick and Rashad Williams really stand out), the grand opening party needed to happen. The group once again raised funds to throw a party and was even able to get a local brewery to donate two kegs.
The group wrote a personal letter to Jim Ellison, the Mayor of Royal Oak, and invited him to do the ribbon cutting. Metro Times had posted the grand opening party event and the group was finally ready to share what they had been working on. The space had 17 members as the day of the grand opening party arrived. Many people showed up throughout the day, including the Mayor, who stylishly cut the ribbon with an oxy-acetylene welding torch. The party went late into the evening and even though the members were all weary, it was tempered by a great sense of accomplishment. The space looked great, with works of local artists hung on the walls throughout.
Overview shot of the space
Along the way, i3 Detroit had reached out to other hackerspaces like Pumping Station One (PS:One) and begun building good relationships and sharing ideas of what worked and what did not. The founding members of PS:One and i3 soon became good friends. The PS:One members traveled to i3 to spend time and the i3 members drive to Chicago. This is how PS:One really became i3 Detroit's sister space.
The i3 members spread the word, went to local events to hand out flyers, and even got i3 involved in other groups' events. Nick Britsky and Russ Wolfe reached out to other organizations, going to their meetings and building relationships with Make, Handmade Detroit, etc.. The founding members were good at talking up i3 and spreading the word. They all seemed to live and breathe i3 at this point.
There were struggles as well, such as trying to determine the right price point for membership that allowed i3 to grow, yet not cut itself off from potential members due to their financial constraints. When the group had to leave Royal Oak and find a new building, they also had to raise additional funds. The group used word of mouth and a "help save the robots" campaign on Kickstarter. It worked, and the group was able to secure its current location in Ferndale. i3 Detroit prided itself on holding community events and classes, which, in turn, helped to build the organization.
Moving to Ferndale
On March 31st, 2010, i3 Detroit migrated to its new home in Ferndale, MI. The new location, a light industrial building, had over 1,000 square feet of office space and roughly 7,000 square feet of warehouse floor with a high-bay ceiling, more than 6,000 square feet larger than the previous space. The move was very hastily done, nothing was organized, and the space was functionally paralyzed for a few months. This, coupled with a mold abatement issue in the office areas, required determination and commitment from members to bring the space into a condition allowing it to be occupied. Amid the sound of saws and compressors, the new space, and i3 Detroit's first birthday, were both celebrated with a barbeque on April 25th, 2010.
i3 Detroit membership hovers around 120-150 dues-paying members (depending on your math and if the CRM is cranky that day) and a handful of regular guests, with several people in the space on any given night of the week. Until recently, the space was primarily used in the evenings and nights. However, many new members have extended the hours of use into the daytime as well, so visitors have a much better chance that someone will be at the space if they decide to stop by for a visit. Recurring events and occasional classes dot the calendar, and i3 members often make a strong showing at local DIY-oriented events. This is nowhere more true than Maker Faire Detroit, the number of projects from i3 justifies a separate large tent.
Regional hackerpsaces cooperate and compete. One highlight of the summer is the friendly competition in a Powerwheels racing competition series at Maker Faires and mini-Maker Faires. The competition can be serious and silly, with big hats and boomboxes mounted to some dashboards.
i3 Detroit was recently designated as a 501(c)(3) educational non-profit organization, reflecting its commitment to helping members of the community learn new skills and practice those skills in a well-equipped shop. Members freely share their skills in class settings and in one-on-one discussions related to specific member projects. Members are also regularly on the look-out for unique and useful additions to list of equipment available in the shop. If you stop by, you will see a mix of fully functional equipment, and some tools that are being renovated for use. The goal is to be able to walk in with an idea and be able to realize it in physical form. Having some fun along the way is also important, with regular member meetings and planned and impromptu social events.

When you hire Dyan Williams to represent you, expect to get personalized service, tailored solutions, and attention to details that make or break your case.
Dyan is the founder of Dyan Williams Law PLLC. She is the principal attorney practicing in two areas: U.S. immigration law and legal ethics/professional responsibility.
Prior to establishing her own firm in October 2014, Dyan was a managing attorney at a prominent immigration law firm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, for eight years. Dyan also worked as an immigration law clerk for an additional four years, while she pursued her J.D. degree at William Mitchell College of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. Her top areas of expertise include overcoming immigration marriage fraud findings; obtaining waivers for unlawful presence, misrepresentation and crime-related inadmissibility; challenging expedited removal orders and visa refusals; and getting complex naturalization cases approved.
In addition, Dyan has advised solo practitioners and small law firm lawyers on legal ethics and professional responsibility matters since 2006. She is well-versed in ethics issues related to competence, diligence, client communication, conflicts of interest, and fee agreements.
Born and raised in Jamaica, Dyan has a multicultural background and a genuine understanding of one's desire to study, work and live in the United States. Her maternal and paternal grandparents migrated from mainland China to the island of Jamaica to set up family businesses. Her second-generation immigrant parents encouraged her to have a strong work ethic, pursue her dreams with tenacity, and add value to her community.
Dyan arrived in the United States on an F-1 student visa to attend the University of Minnesota, where she obtained her bachelor's degree, with a double major in journalism & mass communication and political science, and a minor in speech communication. While pursuing her master's degree in Human Resources & Industrial Relations at the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, she switched to an H-1B temporary worker visa. She later became a lawful permanent resident and then a naturalized U.S. citizen.
Before joining the legal profession, Dyan was a communication consultant at a global human resources consulting firm, Watson Wyatt Worldwide (now Willis Towers Watson). She worked with a wide range of clients — from international corporations to local non-profit organizations — to develop employee communication strategies and materials on organizational change management, training & development, merit-based compensation, benefit plans, and other human resources issues.
When advising immigration clients, Dyan draws from her firsthand experience in immigrating to the United States. When counseling lawyers on legal ethics, Dyan applies her direct encounters with ethics issues as a practicing attorney and the founder of her own firm. She leverages her multifaceted background to deliver high-quality service and tailor-made solutions to her clients. She lives around the Twin Cities with her husband and their two young children.

Faithful Gather in Mauritius for Papal Visit on Feast Day of Laval
Pope Francis made an Apostolic Journey to Mauritius on September 9 and prayed at the shrine dedicated to Blessed Jacques Laval, a Spiritan missionary priest whose influence on the island in the mid 1800s earned him the nickname, "the Apostle of Mauritius."
On this final day of his weeklong trip to Africa, Pope Francis celebrated Mass before 100,000 people at the Mary Queen of Peace Monument before praying at Blessed Father Laval's tomb.
Some of the faithful visiting Laval's tomb this year were Holy Ghost Prep and Duquesne University alumnus Steve Sawka, along with his wife and young children. Sawka said that at any time, 50 people were gathered around the tomb.
Known as the Apostle of Mauritius, Blessed Jacques Laval was sent to the missions on the island in 1841, where he ministered to former slaves. In the Spiritan tradition, he lived among them and learned their language as he helped improve farming and sanitation conditions.
He is believed to have converted 67,000 people to his parish, and more than 30,000 mourners of all faiths attended his funeral, witness to their appreciation for his work.
He became the first beatified Spiritan on April 29, 1979.
Laval's Feast Day has become an annual celebration on the island, with a festival and procession to the site of his tomb at Sainte-Croix.


I'm a fiddler in the Fayetteville, NC area who plays about a hundred Celtic tunes. Play a lot of old time Appalachian, some Bluegrass and a handful of blues tunes. Some of my favorite fiddlers are Martin Hayes, Liz Knowles, April Verch, Alasdair Fraser and Rayna Gellert.
