I wrote this for Kansas State University's Department of English blog — we were asked to write about what we did over the summer. But I wrote a little more than the blog needs. So, we're running an excerpt on the English blog, and I'm printing the full version here.
Writing of the work I did this summer risks losing an (admittedly small) audience after this first sentence. But making academic labor visible helps correct the common (and false) impression that professors do not work in the summers. As is true of many jobs today, there is no clear boundary between work and not-work. Technology allows us to bring work with us everywhere, and creates the expectation that we do just that. Also, academic labor doesn't really break down into discreet parts. Professors think, write and edit (articles, books, grant proposals, letters of recommendation, committee reports), evaluate manuscripts (of articles and books), prepare for class and grade student papers where and when we find the time.
At the risk of causing your eyes to glaze over, here's a paragraph on some of the work I did this summer. (Feel free to skip ahead to the next paragraph.) I built my fall on-line Literature for Adolescents class: each week, I created two weeks of curriculum (4-6 video lectures/sets of discussion questions, 2 quizzes) and did related preparation (including reading the books, refining the recurring journal assignment, creating grading rubrics, etc.). I wrote the introduction to a special issue of the Children's Literature Association Quarterly on Refugees, Migration and Diaspora in Children's Literature, and edited the 6 essays that will appear in that issue. I wrote a new Afterword to the forthcoming paperback edition of my most recent book — and presented a version of that afterword at a conference in San Antonio. With my two co-editors, I worked on editing the second edition of Keywords for Children's Literature, which has about 60 contributors. We co-editors occasionally met via Skype (my two co-editors are based in Canada and in Denmark, respectively), and we began writing that book's introduction. I studied German with a tutor, in preparation for fall research in Germany (where I am now). I reviewed a book manuscript for a press, at least one article for a journal, and three dozen applications for an award. I drafted an invited talk I am giving in Stockholm in November. I appeared on a podcast and spoke with a few journalists. Since the waning attention of my remaining reader is doubtless about to evaporate, I'll end the work chronicle here.
I am very lucky to have a job I enjoy, and to do work that I find meaningful. But interesting work is still work: indeed, the fact that we derive meaning from our work risks refashioning labor as leisure. "Hey, we may work 60 hours week, but at least we like what we do! Many people work many more hours, dislike the work, and are paid even worse!" But that is a dangerous line of thinking. It insists upon gratitude for lesser degrees of exploitation, when we should instead demand that all work receive respect, appropriate compensation and adequate vacation.
Though it violates the American belief that everyone work all the time (and must feel guilty if they do not), I have been making an effort to do less — and to actually take some time to spend with friends and family. In May, I attended my 30th high school reunion and visited family and friends in New England. In July, Karin and I went to New York City, where we saw three excellent and very different plays: Spongebob Squarepants: The Musical (a delightfully absurd, whimsical spectacle about the [possible] end of the world), Cypress Avenue (a disturbing mixture of comedy and Greek tragedy that satirically takes racism/prejudice to its most extreme), Harry Potter and the Cursed Child Parts 1 and 2 (fun, effective melodrama, magnificently staged and costumed). In August, I accompanied my mother to a family reunion in Switzerland, where we saw relatives from the UK, South Africa, and (obviously) Switzerland. My family is very spread out geographically, and so we don't get to see each other often: I in particular very much enjoyed catching up with one cousin whom I had not seen in over three decades.
So, in sum, I had a great summer — busy, productive, interesting. I even managed a healthier balance of labor and leisure, though should still strive for more of the latter. I hope you all enjoyed your summers and are having an invigorating fall semester, and that you're able to manage the right combination of hard work and necessary rest.

I have long been wanting to write a general "advice" essay for aspiring academics — recent PhDs, graduate students, anyone pursuing (or considering pursuing) a career in academia. The problem is that my desire to mentor and to encourage always collides with my equally strong desire not to mislead people about how challenging (even bleak) a prospect this is. Somehow, tweeting the advice made it easier to write. Here it is.
(7) special issue of journal — but only if these help you achieve larger scholarly and intellectual goals (such as, say, a book).
For those who prefer to read something that is not a series of Tweets, here it is in a more typical format.
Believe in and doubt merit. Believe because it motivates you to produce, inspires you to keep going. But doubt because the vast number of Ph.Ds on the job market means that merit is not enough. Remember also that "merit" is subjective, masks privilege, and should not be trusted.
Seize as many opportunities as you can, but also be selective. Pursue collaboration with others, conferences, placement in essay collections or special issue of journal — but only if these help you achieve larger scholarly and intellectual goals (such as, say, a book).
Like academe itself, this advice is sometimes absurd, paradoxical, impossible. Recognize that.
Take care of yourself. Exercise regularly. Sit with correct posture, etc. Do not sacrifice your health.
Above all, pursue meaningful work. That is the best reason to stick with academe, despite the odds.
Know also that you don't have to stick with academe. Leaving is not failure. You're smart and capable. You can do many things.
I will expand this into a proper essay. But, at present… no time to offer more than this (admittedly flawed, hasty) summary. There's more advice on my blog, but, really, you should take a look at Robin Bernstein's page of Advice for Grad Students and Other Academics. Lots of great resources there.
Update, 19 Aug. 2015: the full, expanded version of this piece appeared in today's Inside Higher Education.
As American fast food workers strike for a living wage, it's worth remembering that this struggle has a long history. It's also worth teaching some of this history to children, so that they can learn about collective action, and fighting back against the powerful. Julia Mickenberg and I collect some of these stories in the "Work" and "Organize" sections of our anthology, Tales for Little Rebels: A Collection of Radical Children's Literature (2007), but there are many more such stories out there. Michelle Markel and Melissa Sweet's Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909 (2013) is one of those.
A picture book published earlier this year, Brave Girl tells of newly arrived immigrant Clara Lemlich, who — as Markel's text tells us — "knows in her bones what is right and what is wrong." When "no one will hire Clara's father," she gets a job as a garment worker to support her family, and quickly discovers what is wrong: companies hire immigrant girls to make clothing, paying them just a few dollars a month. Markel effectively dramatizes the cruel working conditions: "locked up in a factory," she and the other young women are "stitching collars, sleeves, and cuffs as fast as they can. 'Hurry up, hurry up,' the bosses yell. The sunless room is stuffy from all the bodies crammed inside. There are two filthy toilets, on sink and three towels for three hundred girls to share." They're also fined a half day's pay for being a few minutes late, fined if they prick a finger and bleed on the cloth, and fired if that happens twice. With just a few vivid details, Markel's words and Sweet's images gives us a sense of the oppressive, stifling working conditions.
Another key message is that collective action creates change. At the book's climax, Clara calls for a general strike, and in the winter of 1909 leads 20,000 garment workers out on a general strike.
The third important lesson young readers will take away here is that progress is hard-won and imperfect. The garment workers win the right to unionize, gaining better pay and a shorter workweek. However, getting there required them to walk the picket lines in the dead of winter, where they faced police brutality, backed by a legal system indifferent to their cause. In the end, though 339 dress manufacturers agreed to unions, the Triangle Waist Factory — where Clara herself worked — did not. Indeed, two years after this strike, the Triangle Waist Factory's business practices (such as locking the workers in) killed 146 when a fire broke out in the building.
Amplified by Melissa Sweet's watercolors and fabric-themed collages, Markel offers a history that should inspire a new generation of activists. So, as you celebrate Labor Day today, remember the unions that made it possible.
That's a start. But I want to refute this "oh, professors have it easy" myth once and for all.
I realize that's a tall order. The myth persists in popular culture, aided — in America, at least — by a public that views knowledge with suspicion. So, I can document how many hours I work (as I did, here and here). Others can do this sort of thing, too. We can also speak up when we see alleged journalists spreading this nonsense. But how much effect are we having? And while we cannot spend our careers putting out the flames of ignorance each time they ignite, if we don't do this… the fire spreads.
So, for instance, I'm ostensibly "on vacation" right now (because I'm not teaching), but it took me a few days to respond to this because I was in Boston, attending the Modern Language Association convention and at Harvard gathering materials for my next book. In the days before the Spring 2013 term begins, I need to finish assembling an American Studies Association proposal, get my syllabi together, get my course packs together, revise an essay and send it out, write an abstract for a summer conference (abstract is due Jan. 15th), send an abstract for a conference at which I'm giving a talk (this is due today), do some Routledge editing (I edit Children's Literature and Culture series), get plane tickets for the two invited talks I'm giving in March, write at least one of two grants, start working on the Afterword and Notes for Barnaby Vol. 2, and… that's all I can remember right now. But I'm sure there are items I'm forgetting.
While I doubt that this brief response will have any discernable effect on the general public's level of knowledge about what professors do, responding seemed better than letting ignorance go unchecked. If there's a better way to educate the public about academic labor, I'm open to suggestions.

CARIBBEAN SPORTS ROUNDUP
NAN Sports Editor
News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Weds. July 3, 2018: Here are the top
stories making Caribbean sports news for the week ending, July 3, 2019:
Penalty Kick Cost Haiti Semi-Finals Match
The Haiti men's soccer squad has no reason to be sad.
They proved on an international stage Tuesday night that they were the better
team – better than the famed El Tri Mexican side.
The history making continued for 94 straight minutes as they held the Mexican team to a 0-0 score in the rumble in Arizona.
The barely one goal that Mexico managed to finally
score was all thanks to a terrible call from the Qatari referee of a penalty in
the 103rd minute of the extra
half time. And with no VAR, the Haitian side had to suck it up and deal with
the penalty kick put in perfectly by Raul Jimenez.
Sadly, Haiti could not level the score in the remaining
16 minutes of play in the extra time and had to accept the fact that their 2019
history making Gold Cup run was over.
But each and every player on the team, especially
goalkeeper Herve
Bazile deserves to be applauded and awarded for the incredible play.
Chin up boys. Well
Tonight, there will be pre-fireworks action on the LP
field in Tennessee as the US takes on Jamaica's Reggae Boyz in a fight for a
spot in the finale. Jamaica beat the US
in a friendly before the tourney so they will be looking for a replay while the
US will undoubtedly be seeking to prove its worth after their lack luster 1-0
performance against Curacao Sunday night.
all the action live on FS1.
West Indies,
India For Florida Clash
On the heels of
their defeat at the hands of the India cricket team and exit from the 2019
Cricket World Cup, the Windies will again have to face the tough side this
summer. The India Tour of the West
Indies which starts in August and will be sponsored by MyTeam11 and co-powered
by Skoda and Kamla Pasand.
Florida cricket
fans are in for a treat. The West Indies and India will play the first two T20I
back-to-back matches on the weekend of August 3rd and 4th at
the Broward County Stadium in the city of Lauderhill, Florida.
Online sale of
tickets for the matches began on June 24th via www.windiescricket.com. Local
box office sales start approximately two weeks in advance of each leg of the
Jamaica At Doha
The Jamaica
Athletics Administrative Association (JAAA), have announced that they will use
the IAAF Ranking to select the three athletes who will represent the country in
the 100m hurdles at the 2019 IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar as of
August 16, 2019.
The JAAA said
competitor, Danielle Williams, who was disqualified from the race, remains ineligible
to be selected to represent Jamaica at any of the events for which competitors
in that race were vying for selection."
Williams was
initially disqualified from the final at the National Championships on Sunday,
will not be eligible for selection. The 2015 world champion refused to leave
the track after she was disqualified for a false start at the National
Championships this past weekend, which resulted in a lengthy delay.

In search of a new Internet Service Supplier (ISP) but do not know which one to choose? In a daring bid to grow to be more related, West Chester-based mostly TELEVISION-purchasing network QVC will merge with the St. Petersburg, Fla.-based Home Procuring Network to better compete towards the likes of Amazon and Walmart as more shoppers use smartphones and different units to seek out the best offers online.
To help offset the changing times, HSN is merging with its lifelong rival, QVC The deal is price $2.1 billion, reports the New York Times , all in stock. Dwelling Procuring Community was offered to QVC for $2.1 billion. At-residence consumers who simply cannot resist the TELEVISION appeal to buy merchandise starting from electronics to jewelry will be wowed by this deal: QVC is becoming a member of up with the Home Purchasing Community.
Liberty Interactive Corp., mother or father to powerhouse house procuring networks QVC and HSN , and online retailer Zulilly, is undergoing a reputation change to Qurate Retail Group. It's an choice to create lifetime customers by delivering on promises constantly.
WineShop At Dwelling started in 1995 and affords a big variety of wine and wine related merchandise in addition to a enterprise or income opportunity for those that would like to make an earnings stream advertising their firm or merchandise. THE BIG APPLE – QVC and Dwelling Shopping Community, two of the most effective-known residence-shopping hubs, are merging in a $2.6 billion deal as they try to retain consumers who're rapidly shifting to internet-primarily based retail. In only a few short days, I will be headed to Florida to go on air at HSN – Dwelling Purchasing Community.
HSN's sales declined three p.c final 12 months, whereas QVC's flatlined. Established in the year 2016, this electronics retailer takes care of all the gadget related requirements of its clients. As I was buying round on the positioning, I experienced several glitches.
Particular curiosity channels – Particular interest channels embody Discovery Channel, The Historical past Channel, Bloomberg, Food Community, The Home Procuring Community, Arts & Leisure, The Biography Channel, Courtroom TELEVISION, Healthy Dwelling Channel, the SCI FI Channel, and a host of others.
If you're fascinated by changing into a member of BBS International, you could be making a unbelievable resolution in your career. Will at the moment's thirty-somethings, who had been raised with smartphones and ordering issues on-line, truly sit down to observe a celeb chef hawking woks and miniature pie makers for 2 hours at a time? Cash again could be earned just by clicking 'Get cashback & go to retailer' button via to the merchant and purchasing on-line as normal.
QVC and Residence Purchasing Community, two of essentially the most effectively-known residence-procuring hubs, are combining further as they take a look at aggressive development by Amazon and client shopping habits shifting to web-based mostly retail. A Forrester examine of about 300 manufacturers launched not too long ago ranked HSN among the prime 15 in a buyer-experience index.
QVC's George stated the combined firm would be well-positioned to assist form the subsequent technology of retailing." The acquisition would enable the corporate to boost its scale, spur growth of its mobile and online platforms, and optimize its programming, cross-advertising, and finances.
How Does The Residence Shopping Community Work?
H2O At Home is a direct sales firm founded in 1997. HSN, previously known as the Home Shopping Community, is not the cable shopping channel you might initially think of, and, consider it or not, arcade video games have played a role within the shift. View detailed routes on a map, see bus and practice schedules, arrival instances, and service alerts so you know precisely methods to get to HSN Residence Shopping Community.
QVC acquires HSN for two.1 billion, CRIMSON is working on a smartphone, SoundCloud loses its San Francisco and London offices and Microsoft is laying off 1000's of individuals. The one caveat to this money-saving coverage is that companies providing worth adjustments do not notify customers when prices drop, so the onus is on the customer to remain vigilant in order to obtain any potential money back.
With a view to make its services readily and easily out there to a bigger audience, the shop occupies a central spot in the city at a neighbourhood which is properly-related to all parts of town. HSN and QVC have have been making the pivot to digital platforms for some time now, with various degrees of success.
Japan's dwelling shopping network needs to be bracing itself for the approaching launch of the Dubli on-line house shopping community. Salaries at House Purchasing Network (HSN), Inc. Liberty Interactive Corp said it might buy the remaining 62 p.c of HSN Inc it does not already own in a deal that values the TELEVISION buying network at $2.1 billion. Prospects at this retailer have a wide range of choices to choose from in terms of the best of brands which might be out there under one roof.
And I had this aha" second: I realized that HSN really wanted to turn out to be more of a way of life community that would inspire people by way of products. QVC and HSN will proceed to operate as particular person brands, "with their very own distinctive id, tradition and buyer following," George said.
Each HSN and QVC declined to be interviewed for this article, citing the pending regulatory and shareholder approval for the deal, which is expected to shut sometime within the fourth quarter. In addition the buying networks, Qurate contains Zulilly, Ballard Designs, Frontgate, Garnet Hill, Grandin Road and Improvements, masking a range of categories from trend to house furnishings.

Sometimes I am dumbstruck by Jesus. When I give myself space and just sit and think about who He is- I cannot help but be blown away.
This famous passage is called the "Christ Hymn, " and in it, Paul is waxing about the great humility of Jesus. In this verse, there is a lifetime's worth of contemplation.
These statements are so beautiful because they are so vexing and paradoxical. God had to learn! God had to grow! God needs us for his mission to be fulfilled. This is divine humility. Jesus shows what real power is, and that is to make oneself vulnerable and weak; to rely on other people for guidance and support.
We spend so much of our lives climbing the ladder of power and authority. We want to reap many accomplishments and establish ourselves as important, great, and necessary. But based on Paul's letter and Christ's example, I think the invitation this Lent is to be unimportant, small and helpless- to recognize that we need other people to bring about the kingdom of Jesus here on earth.
Be humble. Be divine. Be like Jesus.

20 percent of drivers don't use half of their in-car technology
By Shawn Knight	 on August 27, 2015, 9:00 17 comments
Automakers are increasingly leaning on infotainment systems jam-packed with technology to help sell vehicles but according to a recent study from J.D. Power, there's quite a few people that aren't all that into car tech.
In its Driver Interactive Vehicle Experience report, J.D. Power found that at least 20 percent of new-vehicle owners have never used 16 out of the 33 technology features measured in the study. The top five features that respondents said they never use are in-vehicle concierge (43 percent), mobile routers (38 percent), automatic parking systems (35 percent), head-up display (33 percent) and built-in apps (32 percent).
Of those five, I would have guessed that automatic parking systems would be popular but I digress.
The study also found that at least 20 percent of people said they don't want specific technology in their next car including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Why are so many people turning the cold shoulder when it comes to in-car technology? According to Kristin Kolodge, executive director of driver interaction & HMI research at J.D. Power, owners simply prefer to use their smartphone or tablet because it meets their needs, they're already familiar with how to operate their personal device and it's accurate.
Among everyone that was polled, the reason for not wanting a specific technology feature in their next ride was that they didn't find it useful in their current vehicle. Unsurprisingly, there's also a correlation between owners whose dealer did not explain a certain feature and the customer even knowing it exists in their vehicle.

Black Agenda Report 23 November 2011: Van Jones Is Not OWS / Black Income Segregation / Brazil Death Squads
23 November 2011 — Black Agenda Report • News, commentary and analysis from the black left
Gridlock is a Blessing: To Hell With Obama and His Van Joneses
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
As BAR predicted, gridlock – which has finished off the congressional SuperCommittee – was the last, best hope to prevent Barack Obama from consummating his marriage with the Republicans over the past year. In the interim, a new social movement has arisen. But it, too, is threatened by Obamite cooptation. Van Jones, says an organizer of Occupy DC, "is doing the dirty work of a Democratic operative and while he and other Dem front groups pretend to support Occupiers, their real mission is to co-opt it." Gridlock has bought time for the overarching mission: "The Sword of Damocles that hovers over the planet, is Wall Street's $600 trillion-plus derivatives, financial nuclear bombs invented by Wall Street."
Freedom Rider: Propagandized America
by editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
The United States is a nation of lies: corporate media lies in the service of State Department, Pentagon and White House lies – a congealed, fictional mass that only Americans believe. The most mundane facts of economy are corrupted beyond recognition. "The court scribes who tell us that a statistical blip is proof of economic recovery or that the president had no choice but to accept the 'Satan sandwich' budget deal are no better than propagandists in dictatorial states." Actual journalism is largely extinct. "The press corps in Libya, who actively assisted NATO in destroying that nation, committed international war crimes in the process."
20 Arrested in Stop Stop-and-Frisk Campaign in Sean Bell's NYC Neighborhood
Demonstrators gathered shortly before confrontation with police at the 103rd Precinct in Queens, New York. Sean Bell was killed by cops from this area in a fusillade of bullets on November 25, 2006. This was the third such direct action by the Stop Mass Incarceration Network.
Barack "Money Bags" Obama Can't Run on the 99 Percent Ticket
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by Glen Ford
Remember 2004, when the cash-poor Democratic candidates were evicted from the campaign like vagabonds by ABC News? One measure of the impact of the Occupy Wall Street movement is that candidates will be compelled to explain to voters why they are so popular with Wall Street. This poses a special quandary for President Obama, who got the lion's share of finance industry dollars in 2008 and is determined to raise $1 billion for next year's campaign. "How can Obama claim to be ready to stand up to the 1 percent, when he's weighted down with a billion dollars of their money?"
Massive Growth of Segregation by Income Among Blacks
Over the past 40 years, income inequality and housing segregation within the Black community has bee far more pronounced than in white America. A new study paints a picture of volatile Black neighborhoods pushed and pulled by income inequalities that have also wreaked vast changes on the larger American landscape, as "affluent people cluster in gentrified areas where lower income people cannot live, and poor people also become more concentrated."
Police Death Squads Haunt Brazil's Favelas
by Giovanni Dubon
"Brazil has begun to teeter on the brink of human rights violations" as it begins to clear 1.5 million poor citizens from their neighborhoods in preparation for the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics. Killings of favela residents far exceed police violence, even in the United States. "Everyone knows the police here in Rio de Janeiro… nearly all of them abuse their authority…. The shooting cases you hear about, most of them are executions…It's all premeditated-very cold-blooded and calculated"
Obama Silent, Bloomberg Wrong on Constitutional Rights
by Marsha Coleman-Adebayo
New York City's billionaire mayor polluted the moral and factual environment when he claimed concerns for public health motivated his police assault on Zuccotti Park. "If Mayor Bloomberg has suddenly developed an interest in the health of New York residents, that would surprise many advocates for the homeless and the uninsured." The mayor's men in blue convey his true message of political repression and the whittling away of Constitutional rights.
Blacks/Latinos Hit Particularly Hard As Mortgage Crisis Lingers
by Doug Miller
The home foreclosure crisis isn't even halfway over, according to a new report. Ethnically targeted mortgaging practices between 2004 and 2008 have left one quarter of all Latinos and African Americans either without their homes, in foreclosure, or seriously delinquent. "Blacks and Latinos were much more likely to receive high-interest subprime loans and mortgages with prepayment penalties."
Then End of American Thanksgivings: A Cause for Universal Rejoicing
"The Thanksgiving story is an absolution of the Pilgrims, whose brutal quest for absolute power in the New World is made to seem both religiously motivated and eminently human…. The Mayflower's cultural heirs are programmed to find glory in their own depravity, and savagery in their most helpless victims, who can only redeem themselves by accepting the inherent goodness of white Americans."
Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of November 21, 2011
Derivatives at Root of Banking Problem
The very existence of $600 trillion-plus in derivatives, most of them held by "about six banks," represents a grave threat to the global financial system, said Karanja Gacuca, a member of the People of Color Working Group of the Occupy Wall Street movement, in New York City. Banks are hoarding money, refusing to make job-producing investments, because "if any of these six banks defaulted, the effects to the economy would be catastrophic," said Gacuca, whose background is in finance. The entire world's gross annual product is only about $64 trillion. "Some of those banks have to fail. I really don't see how we get out of this."
Occupy Movement is Making Clear Demands
"I've been to 16 occupations and at every one I've heard the same thing: get money out of politics," said Arun Gupta, who helped found The Occupy Wall Street Journal and is covering the national occupation story for Salon and Alternet. "It is a message about extreme concentration of wealth and power, and that wealth is used to dominate the political system. There is a very clear demand of what people do want." Gupta concedes that many Occupiers still think in "moralistic terms, like greed," despite the fact that "the laws of capitalism impel the corporations towards buying the system…. It's probably the greatest return on investment you can get."
Wealth, Not Deficit, is the Problem
"The truth is, we don't have a deficit problem," said Dr. Margaret Flowers, an organizer with Occupy DC, encamped at Washington's Freedom Plaza. "We have the wealth in this country to meet our needs, but our government is not willing to take that revenue from the rich and major corporations." Occupy DC held hearings on the so-called congressional SuperCommittee's mandate to make vast cuts in federal spending. Of the ten biggest contributors to the 12 senators and representatives on the panel, six are mega-banks, one is Microsoft, and the other is the huge corporate law firm Skadden, Arps.
Black Chicago Gears Up for Housing Push and NATO/G-8 Meetings
Under the umbrella of Occupy the Hood, Chicago Black activists are "focusing on tasks in our communities that have been neglected for so long," said veteran organizer Pat Hill. She acknowledged that, these days, corporate media tend to pay more attention to Black activism when the "Occupy" label is attached. The next community offensive is called "Homes for the Holidays," to tackle the housing crisis in Black neighborhoods. Then, in the spring, local activists will join with national organizations to confront simultaneous Chicago meetings of NATO and G-8, the organization of the world's wealthiest nations. "We are actively involved in that, and intend to exercise our First Amendment rights" in the face of heavy security measures.
The Hood and Occupy Boston Didn't Mix Well
Some Black activists who attempted to collaborate with Boston's OWS outfit came away less than satisfied. Jamal Crawford, of the city's Occupy The Hood umbrella, cited the Boston OWS's "leaderless structure," "lack of foundational principles," and "lack of organization" – as well as "abundant" white privilege and instances of racism – for failure to forge a working relationship. "The question has never been, Can Black people navigate in a white world, because that's something we've been doing," said Crawford. "The real question has been, Can white people navigate in a Black world – and that remains to be seen." Crawford, however, credits OWS headquarters in New York with having been "very supportive of Occupy The Hood."
Occupation Has Energized Oakland Black and Brown Movement
"This current moment has opened up a lot of opportunities for us to get more resources, in terms of new people who are really motivated," said Robbie Clark, a housing activist with the Oakland-based non-profit Just Cause. "A lot of organizations are willing to come together about how to win some concrete demands, especially around bank accountability, workers rights and immigrant rights." Clark said "people are learning from how the Occupiers have been able to engage masses of people" – even if those masses are not necessarily Black and brown. The Occupiers have also learned from local activists of color, said Clark. "This movement around economic equality can be traced back to Reconstruction: 40 acres and a mule."
Under Obama, Rule of Law Crumbles
"The president can commit murder whenever he wants," said Michael Ratner, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights, citing the string of U.S. and allied assassinations that have marked the past year of Barack Obama's presidency. "This is the man who won the Nobel Peace Prize, and now he believes he can launch drones all over the world," said Ratner. "This [Libya] is about the sixth war that Obama is involved in, and it looks like he is more of a warlike president than almost anybody we've ever had." In the current era, all U.S. ware are waged in pursuit of global hegemony – and, specifically, to corner oil supplies. "We have to end our support for militarism, just as Dr. (Martin Luther] King said."
BAR's Dr. Jared Ball explores the cooptation of Hip Hop, not just by media moguls and commercial marketers, but by the U.S. State Department – "a situation where hip-hop is turned against itself and, indeed, the world."

After the Madero-led uprising in November 1910 to challenge a new re-election of the old dictator Porfirio Diaz, irremovable as President of Mexico since 1874, events precipitated. Social unrest is juxtaposed, especially around slogans aimed at breaking the hegemony of the large landowners and returning the land to the peasants, in Morelos.
After the opening of negotiations, Diaz resigned himself to resigning and taking the road to exile while Madero was elected to the presidency in October 1911. It should be noted that the Mexican revolution was one of the first wars to have been widely photographed and even filmed.
A street scene between the ordinary and the exceptional
This scene was carefully framed. The entire central space is taken up by a street, bordered on either side by a row of houses, which rises towards the background. The houses and the few spectators (children, women, onlookers) who have lined up to the side reinforce the staging effect. They focus the spectator's gaze on the parade of a troop of armed men - we note the presence of rifles, saddlebags, cartridge belts - which some civilians (according to their costumes) seem to follow suit. A horseman goes down the street and goes towards the spectator, against the current of the march, while the parade goes up the street and the soldiers or militiamen turn their backs to him.
It should be noted that the street is not made of dirt but that it is paved, and shared in the middle by a ditch which is probably used for the flow of wastewater and rainwater. The presence of telegraph poles suggests that the village is electrified, at least in part. These elements thwart the impression of destitution suggested by the clothing, most often very sketchy, on the spectators and the actors.
The beginnings of a vast upheaval
The scene is tricky to interpret, especially as the photograph is not captioned at all. Who are precisely these armed men who march past, preceded by several standard bearers? The function of such a photographic testimony is to suggest to the viewer that it is all of Mexican society that is mobilized and politicized. The child dressed very simply in white cotton who stands barefoot on a doorstep, to the left, and the rider walking down the street perched on a mule, wearing a sombrero, serve to represent eternal Mexico.
But alongside this seemingly unchanging order, the militia march and the approval it seems to elicit among residents suggests that a major shift is underway. In fact, the events of 1911 were to lead to upheavals of much greater magnitude than a simple alternation at the top of power.

Several studies have pointed to a relationship between nurse staffing ratios (particularly staffing by RNs) and patient safety. Such studies have influenced public policy. For example, the state of California mandates certain minimum nurse-to-patient ratios in intensive care units and medical–surgical units. However, methodological limitations have led some to question the strength of this association. This study, the most methodologically robust to date, identified a statistically significant relationship between higher RN staffing and lower patient mortality. High patient turnover was also associated with excess mortality. The study is likely to increase the pressure on hospitals to ensure adequate levels of nurse staffing.

Taking up arms for decommissioning
The UKAEA's decommissioning of the Windscale Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor is now in its final stages. Essential to the £80 million operation has been the remote dismantling machine and its manipulator. By Terry Benest
The United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) has built and operated a wide range of nuclear facilities since the late 1940s. The UKAEA's mission is to restore the environment of its sites in a safe and secure manner, using currently available technology. This restoration includes the decommissioning of a number of redundant research and power reactors at five UK sites.
At the Windscale site in Cumbria, the UKAEA and its contractors started a project in 1998 to remove the core and pressure vessel of the Windscale Advanced Gas-cooled Reactor (WAGR). The project is currently in the eighth of ten 'campaigns' – the last of which is due to finish, within budget, in summer 2005 (see Table).
WAGR's distinctive dome
The principal technical difficulty associated with the removal of the activated components of the core and pressure vessel was that radiation dose rates of approximately 1Sv/h were anticipated in much of the reactor. In some cases this precluded manual dismantling operations and demanded the use of remotely operated equipment. In other areas, dismantling could be achieved by a combination of remote, semi-remote and manual operations.
The principal systems conceived to undertake the remote work comprised the following components:
• A remote dismantling machine (RDM) to deploy tools to dismantle the high dose components.
• A remotely operated manipulator, suspended from a mast that extends below the RDM, designed to carry out remote operations such as picking up debris, deploying cutting packages and positioning grabs.
• A wide range of decommissioning tools, connected to either the manipulator or a three tonne capacity hoist (also part of the RDM).
• A recovery and transport system to remove the dismantled sections.
• A waste route through which to move the components, sort them, take assay measurements, pack them in suitable containers, and treat them for disposal or storage.
REMOTE DISMANTLING MACHINE
In 1986, the UKAEA awarded an £8 million contract to construct the RDM to Strachan and Henshaw. The RDM, operated from a purpose built control room in the adjacent building, consists of two handling systems deployed beneath a turntable mounted at the reactor operating floor level: firstly, an extendable mast from which a remotely controlled manipulator is suspended and, secondly, a series of suspended crane rails enabling a 3t hoist to travel across the reactor vault into the adjacent cells. A two-storey building mounted above the turntable houses facilities for service provision and access for tool changing and maintenance. Operators are shielded from radiation by a lead shot filled shield floor within the turntable construction. Trial off-site erection was undertaken to test the RDM before it was finally positioned over the reactor in 1993.

The manipulator
The manipulator was specified to facilitate the cutting of the reactor vessel and its internals into manageable sections. It can reach all areas of the reactor vaults using a combination of:
• Rotation of the RDM turntable (370º coverage).
• The addition or removal of up to six mast sections.
• Vertical travel along the mast by means of a hoist and pulley system.
The original manipulator was a Taylor Hitec electromechanical device with a maximum reach of 2.5m and a maximum capacity of 35kg at full radius. This has been replaced by Schilling Titan II hydraulic manipulators, with the following key advantages:
• Continued service support with a good supply of spares.
• A considerably improved payload of 100kg.
• Its hydraulic system can provide power to tools through a custom made 'wrist' joint.
Since the main contractor, British Nuclear Group (formerly BNFL), already owned a number of the manipulator arms, it was possible to operate with at least three units: one installed on the RDM platform to undertake the work; one available as a spare for immediate changeover following any breakdown; and one kept radiologically clean to be available for off-site tooling trials and training.
Whilst being a highly adaptable and dextrous tool, and comparatively affordable at £250,000 per unit, operational experience showed some limitations. In particular, occasional losses of hydraulic power can occur, resulting in the manipulator 'slumping'.
This prompted a radical rethink of the method of deployment of tooling. The general decommissioning regime is to use the 3t hoist as the prime method of tool delivery and services supply. The manipulator is used in a mainly supporting role to assist in tool placement, adjustment and, if necessary, emergency recovery.
The manipulator in use during Campaign 4
A major example of this is in the use of hoist and manipulator to deploy an oxypropane cutting torch for the size reduction of heavy steel sections such as the 75mm thick pressure vessel. The initial concept was for the manipulator to grip the torch and guide it through the required cut paths. However, the requirement to maintain fixed stand-off distances, which cannot be easily controlled by a manipulator, and the prospect of a sudden 'slump' and loss of control of a burning torch with the obvious safety risks could not be justified.
For the pressure vessel removal, therefore, a suite of tools that carry the cutting torch and control its movement across the vessel surface have been designed and manufactured. These tools are brought into the reactor vault with the 3t hoist and deployed onto the vessel wall. The manipulator is then used for final alignment, if required, using levelling adjusters located on the tool. The manipulator also deploys and connects the tools' gas and electrical power services.
The tooling design will generally incorporate remote recovery features for the manipulator to operate, such as handwind attachments for motor drives or release latches. This allows the manipulator to be used to free a tool from the work piece so that it can be recovered by the hoist.
Tools: examples and evolution
Common tools employed using the manipulator and hoist include: parallel jaws; lifting pintles; plasma arc torches; reciprocating saws; drills, taps and dies; and shears. In the majority of cases these decommissioning tools are initially trialled on mock-up rigs nearby – for instance at the Egremont test facility run by British Nuclear Group. Most recently this included off-site trials of the remote operated cutting torch, which is currently in operation at WAGR.
The oxypropane cutting tool is tested off-site
Despite this careful development and testing, problems may still be encountered. For instance, in Campaign 5, problems were experienced during size reduction of restrictor sleeves using a specially procured internal pipe milling machine, suitably adapted for remote deployment. In trials, the machine failed to deliver the promised 40 cuts per cutting tip, achieving only ten cuts per tip. In the reactor itself, only one cut was achieved and the slow speed cutter had a tendency to rotate the tubes. To avoid delay, the project persevered with this equipment while developing an alternative solution. Because dose rates were low, manual intervention was used to cut the steel fuel channels using a modified 100mm angle grinder. The machine achieved production rates of over six cuts per hour. The same angle grinder was used again in subsequent stages of Campaign 5, both manually and modified for remote operation.
Still in Campaign 5, two layers of outer neutron shield graphite blocks, without any integral lifting features, had to be removed. A tool was developed to drill and tap a thread in three holes at the top of the graphite and bolt itself to the block. Using special drill bits, this was achieved in one action. After transfer to the waste basket the blocks were released by reversing the drill motor.
The control room: from here, operators can coordinate remote operations
THE WASTE ROUTE
The waste route was constructed through two of the heat exchanger bioshields to gain benefit from their shielding concrete. The waste is moved laterally from the reactor to the waste packaging plant for characterisation and encapsulation.
In the waste packaging building, all waste removed from the reactor vault is placed in WAGR concrete waste boxes and encapsulated in a cementitious grout. The anticipated high radiation dose rates dictate that the process has to be undertaken remotely. After encapsulation the dose rates on the external faces of the completed box reduce below transport regulations limits, mostly to <10µSv/h.
Low-level waste (LLW) boxes are transported by road to the LLW repository at Drigg for disposal whilst intermediate-level waste (ILW) boxes are sent to the WAGR ILW box store for temporary storage awaiting the provision of a national ILW repository.

Q: Storing list of security questions in a table in the database - need access as anonymous? I have a project using Forms Authentication. When a user signs up, they need to set a security question with their account. I want to store the list of security questions in the database so that an Admin person in the future can control this list... add questions, retire questions, etc... The admin piece is working fine, but is is secured, meaning my business layer is restricted to authenticated users, using, among other things Principal Permission attributes.
The problem is that on the actual Sign Up form, the users are anonymous. I can't wrap my head around how allow retrieve access to this list of questions for anonymous users.

A: If I understand your setup correctly, do the following:

*

*Move your PrincipalPermission attributes from the class to the specific methods that are "Admin only".

*Create a new method, ie Retrieve, without any PrincipalPermission attribute.

A: Your business layer needs to allow anonymous access for anything done in the signup process. Or create an alternate path (parallel data layer) just for those users.
The danger with the second method is you may end up duplicating code, which would be bad for maintenance.

Q: How to send JSON GET data with an HTTP request in C# So I am having a lot of trouble with how to send the below JSON data in C# format. I know exactly how to do it in cURL, but I can't figure this out for the life of me. This request is essential to what I am doing and I really need to get it done. Here is the curl statement:
   curl <ip of server>/<index>/_search?pretty=true -d '
 {
"query": {
    "match_all": {}
},
"size": 1,
"sort": [{
    "_timestamp": {
        "order": "desc"
    }
}]
}

If it helps at all I am making a request to an Elasticsearch server, and I am grabbing the JSON data. This cURL request gives me EXACTLY what I need. Here is the C# code that I have now, but I am not sure how to add this JSON data to the GET request. This is also gonna be running in the Unity game engine.
        // Create a request for the URL.
        request = WebRequest.Create(elk_url);
        // If required by the server, set the credentials.
        request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
        // Get the response.

        response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        // Display the status.
        Debug.Log(response.StatusDescription);
        // Get the stream containing content returned by the server.
        dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
        // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
        reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
        // Read the content.
        string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
        // Display the content.
        Debug.Log(responseFromServer);
        // Cleanup the streams and the response.
        reader.Close();
        dataStream.Close();
        response.Close();

The above is just from the documentation page, and I am pretty new to HTTP requests in code, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: I figured it out!
    WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(elk_url);

    request.ContentType = "application/json";
    request.Method = "POST";
    byte[] buffer = Encoding.GetEncoding("UTF-8").GetBytes(queryString);
    string result = System.Convert.ToBase64String(buffer);
    Stream reqstr = request.GetRequestStream();
    reqstr.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
    reqstr.Close();

    HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
    Debug.Log(response.StatusDescription);
    dataStream = response.GetResponseStream();
    // Open the stream using a StreamReader for easy access.
    reader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
    // Read the content.
    string responseFromServer = reader.ReadToEnd();
    // Display the content.
    Debug.Log(responseFromServer);
    // Cleanup the streams and the response.
    reader.Close();
    dataStream.Close();
    response.Close();

The Query string is the JSON data in the original post. For those who want to know for the ELK stack, this will give you the JSON data(in string format) from the most recent event. Depending on what beat you use, this could be pretty cool for data visualization.

A: Here's how I'd send a Unity WWW-request with POST:
    public IEnumerator SendSomething()
    {
        WWWForm wwwForm = new WWWForm();
        wwwForm.AddField("Parameter_Name", jsonString);

        WWW www = new WWW(url, wwwForm);
        yield return www;

        if (www.error == null)
        {
             Debug.Log("Everything worked!");
        }
        else
        {
             Debug.Log("Something went wrong: " + www.error);
        }
    }

The WWW-class defaults to GET if you don't supply the postData parameter (my wwwForm), so if you want to use GET you could just supply the WWW-class with:
WWW www = new WWW(url + "?" + jsonString);

and skipping the first 2 rows of my method.
Here we're utilizing the IEnumerator to yield return www: which waits for the request to complete until continuing. To utilize the IEnumerator method you invoke it with StartCoroutine(SendSomething()); which will run asyncronized.
