Death of a constitutional namesake
By David Hejmanowski - Contributing columnist
"Linda Brown's life reminds us that sometimes the most unlikely people can have an incredible impact and that by serving our community we can truly change the world."
— Jeff Colyer, Kansas governor
"I didn't comprehend color of skin, I only knew that I wanted to go to Sumner."
— Linda Brown
Oliver Brown was a welder, a father and a man of God. When he wasn't working in the shops of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, he was caring for his family, or preaching at St. Mark's A.M.E. church, where he was associate pastor. Among his lifelong friends was Charles Scott, an attorney who represented the local Topeka chapter of the NAACP.
Scott was looking to line up plaintiffs for a lawsuit challenging segregation in the Topeka school system. He knew that Brown's daughter, Linda, wanted to attend the elementary school that was just blocks from their home, but instead had to walk six blocks to get on a bus that took her to a segregated school instead. In the fall of 1951, Brown attempted to enroll Linda at the 'white's-only' school, but her enrollment was denied. Oliver and his wife, Darlene, then became the first two plaintiffs in the suit against the Topeka school board.
Sixty years earlier, Homer Plessy, who was of mixed racial heritage having one African-American great-grandparent, had refused to leave a "whites-only" train car and was arrested, charged and convicted. He appealed and claimed that the "separate but equal" standard violated the constitution. By a vote of 8-1, the Supreme Court denied his appeal. Justice Brown said that the issue was, "too clear for argument" and that if Plessy felt the law rendered him inferior, it was, "solely because he chooses to put that construction upon it." Only Justice Harlan dissented.
By the time Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, reached the United States Supreme Court, 17 states expressly mandated school segregation. Only 16 (including Ohio) had laws forbidding the practice. Four others, including Kansas, allowed it at least in some circumstances. Brown's case was combined with others coming from Virginia, Washington D.C., South Carolina and Delaware. The legal case was now being handled by the NAACP's national counsel, Thurgood Marshall. The Eisenhower administration filed an amicus brief in support of the plaintiffs, and Attorney General James McGranery said that discrimination was 'grist for the Communist propaganda mills.'
Although nearly all of the Justices personally opposed segregation, they were split on whether the Supreme Court had the authority to order the states to desegregate and/or the power to enforce the ruling. After the case was argued, and during the debate, Chief Justice Vinson died of a heart attack in 1953. The Court reheard the case, now under the direction of new Chief Justice Earl Warren. Warren held two opinions strongly: First, that school segregation needed to end, and second, that the decision needed to be unanimous in order to gain sufficient popular support. Following a reportedly fiery speech in chambers, Warren had eight Justices in his camp. The lone holdout was Justice Reed. Historians note that Reed was a member of an all-white club and lived in a neighborhood with racial deed restrictions, but also that Reed had authored the decision in Smith v. Allwright (banning racially separate primary elections) and voted in the majority in the case that banned racially segregated law schools. Reed eventually relented, and the case was decided 9-0 in favor of the students and their families.
That was not the end of the fight for Linda Brown. Twenty-five years after her Supreme Court victory, she was the named plaintiff in a new case, again titled Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, suing on behalf of her own children this time, and claiming that Topeka had failed to comply with court orders requiring desegregation. She won that case in 1989, and a court ordered final desegregation of the Topeka school district in 1993, more than a half century after her first attempt to enroll at Sumner Elementary.
Oliver Brown died of heat stroke in his early 40s in 1961, and Linda Brown, just nine years old when her case began, and twelve when the Supreme Court ruled in her favor, passed away Monday at the age of 75. The segregated school that she attended as a child was declared a national historic site by President George H.W. Bush in 1992, and is now home to tours and field trips.

I guess my first question would be: why? How about I send you a summons and claim you owe me $5,000.00. Would you call me up and ask me to settle? It's the same thing here. Think about it. I wouldn't have any proof that you owed me that $5,000.00, would I? So why would you call me to ask me to settle for a lower amount or ask me to accept monthly payments?
What makes you think the collection agency has the proof to back up their claim? Do you think because they are a business and not a person that you must settle with them? Is it because you know you owed the original creditor and now assume you owe them all that money? Isn't the amount they are asking for totally inflated and now thousands of dollars above your original credit limit? Don't you want to know how they came up with that number? Don't you want them to prove all of this? Proving things to you personally and proving things in a court of law are two totally different things. They can pass papers on to you that you would assume would be good enough whereas the courts would totally disagree. I would like to know and would appreciate any comments on this post as to anyone's reasoning for wanting to settle a lawsuit with a collection agency before getting your day in court.
Here is something to think about before you pick up that phone to call the collection agency's lawyer. Just picking up the phone and talking to the lawyer in an attempt to settle is basically an admission of the debt. Just by you talking to someone and saying "Hi, I'm John Doe and you are suing me. I would like to settle with your company and get on a payment plan", you flat out admitted that you owe them money. Now let's say the lawyer laughs at your offer and says 'no', you cannot come to any agreement with that company and the phone call ends with a "We'll see you in court". Now the lawyer can tell the judge that on that date you called them and admitted that this was your debt by wanting to settle but both parties couldn't come to an agreement. The judge would then ask if this was true, you'd say 'yes' and just like that you are assumed guilty. The judge would probably ask that you both come up with a settlement etc., but my point is that you ended up in court anyway. So why settle? Fight them back!
Did you know that if you come up with a settlement agreement with the collection agency and miss a payment, that they can enter a default judgment against you anyway?
Let's imagine that following your settlement you make 10 payments but then unfortunately you fall into financial hardship. You call them up and explain that you are unable to make the next few payments. The collection agency don't accept this and threaten that if you don't pay, they will enter a default judgment against you. You are unable to resolve your problems and cannot pay, so as promised, they enter a default judgment against you. That means they can still come after your bank account and wages for the rest of the amount of money owed.
About 10 years ago I had a law firm working for Capital One Bank come after me. I didn't know what to do back then and I figured since it was Capital One I'd better settle (I wish I knew back then what I do now). Anyway, the lawyer told me that they would accept monthly payments of $200.00 and file this with the court. So I make all of those payments on time and paid the amount in full. The following month I get a $60.00 plus bill and I call them and tell them that I paid this amount in full and don't owe them anything. They tell me I do. I had all my cancelled checks proving otherwise so I didn't pay that $60.00 bill and guess what? About three months later my credit report showed a default judgment on it. Capital One did not warn me or tell me that they would or even could do that. They never sent me a copy of any default judgment. Legally they had the advantage because they said I still owed them $60.00 because I did not uphold my agreement to the settlement. So after all of this they get a $60.00 judgment against me anyway. They didn't tell me; they just entered a judgment. I got that removed from the court and my credit report down the line with my proof but they don't care and they will stop at anything to get what they want.
So, beware and know all the facts before you panic and pick up that phone. If you come to some sort of agreement, you cannot mess up that agreement or any payments because they'll still be able to enter a judgment against you. Most people do not know this. They sue you; you call them; you agree to settle; they say they'll handle the court proceedings, not telling you that if you mess this up they'll still file a judgment. This happened to me and can happen to you.
So all of you who are giving up and thinking that just because you call them to settle that they are going to accept whatever offer you have, keep in mind that you have just admitted you owe the debt by speaking with someone and if they turn you down, you will lose in court because of that settlement offer. This is with a collection agency.
When people find themselves in debt, they browse the internet and find a lot of advice telling them to call the collection agency and offer a settlement for 50% of the amount owed. It's rarely that easy and it's unlikely that an offer like that will be even considered, let alone accepted. The agency can now proceed to court and collect 100% of what they want simply because you made the mistake of calling them to settle. In their book, and to some extent the court's too, your communication with them equals an admission that you owe the debt. That could result in losing your case.
Don't believe everything you read online. Before taking any steps, do your research and reflect on how it might leave you if it it gets to court.
Dealing with an original creditor may be a different story. Settling with an original creditor may be your best option as because you beating them in court can be much harder. They tend to have more of the documents needed to win the case, although this is not always true. For example, in my case, the original creditor, Capital One, didn't have everything they needed. But if you are confident that they do and will win and you call them and agree to a settlement, don't miss those payments or they will get a default judgment and you are back to square one with your credit ruined.
This is just my opinion from my past experience with a law firm from Capital One 10 years ago. 10 years or 10 days, does it really matter with these companies? They don't care. In my opinion, if your instinct tells you that you have not seen enough evidence that proves that you owe them all this money, then don't call and take your chances in court.
Are you calling to settle to avoid court? I wouldn't. In fact, I would look forward to my day in court when they have to work hard to prove every single document and complaint against you. At least while you're in court you have a judge there so that they cannot get away with the tactics they normally use on you when there isn't a judge present. You have more rights in a court of law than on a phone with a collection agency's attorney. So, I'll say it again: calling the collection attorney to settle is an admission to the debt which could lead to you paying every single penny.
On another note, please be aware of the collection agency's attorneys who pull the defendants to the side, or in a room to settle before appearing in front of a judge. The lawyer will try to convince you that you will lose so you might as well settle. Don't believe a word the lawyer says. You are about 15 minutes from appearing in front of the judge, and there is a good chance that attorney doesn't have the documentation needed to win a judgment against you. So, turn down any offer the attorney makes. The attorney may get aggressive, but keep your cool and proceed with your case.
So, if you have been served a summons, the best way to proceed is to answer it and not call to settle. This will put the collection agency's attorney at a disadvantage (because of time they do not have proper proof to prevail in court) and there is a good chance they will drop your case and focus their attention elsewhere.
"Our case never went to court. We were so freaked out, we settled with them. What bothers me the most is that we received a letter from the law office that stated: "You have not made your payments as promised. Please use this opportunity to bring your account current and avoid the possibility of our client withdrawing its agreement to resolve this matter as previously agreed. If we do not hear from you we will notify our client and await their further instruction". When I called her, she said that she knew we had been making our payments and the letter was just to get our attention because the couldn't get us by phone. The number they had wasn't working. I know they had the correct phone number because I called them in April 2010,after 3 months just as requested. I left a voicemail with the correct number. I have a recording of it and of the lady saying that she knew we had made our payments. I don't know what is going on, but Saturday we received another letter stating that we have not paid and I mailed the check on the 17th. I do not know why it hasnt got to them but I have been trying to talk to them all morning. I was told that the lady who sent the letter dated 2/24,2011 is no longer there and I was transferred to the person taking over for her and got his voicemail. I left a message. The 866 numbers that are on the letter do not work. They ring, then a recording says they nolonger accept voicemails. I did receive a call on 2/23/11 but when I answered they hung up. When I tried to call the number back, a recording said that this number did not accept incoming calls.
Another thing that bothers me is we have been paying $100 an month since 1/20/2010 and according to the balance on the letter we have only took $174.07 off the account.

Darwin's Finches, 20th Century Business, and APIs - What Do You Care What Other People Think?
This is a talk I did at Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco on May 4th, 2010. I'm working on a proper slidecast with a voiceover - until then here are the slides.
There is a perspective some people apply to evolution, social theory, and language change called punctuated equilibrium (credit goes to Jess Ruefli for pointing this out). It suggests that change is not gradual, but that change comes in sudden punctuated bursts between stretches of relative stasis or equilibrium.
The Web from 1995-2000 was certainly a surge like this as every business "went online" in order to continue to function in a newly competitive economy. I believe that we're going through such a surge right now as the early versions of the web - designed for people using browsers - gives way to the next version: using APIs to design the web for people using applications that communicate on their behalf in complex ways to the services that make up the world's businesses.
If we look to evolution and to the last similar shift - the move from direct to indirect channels for business in the 20th century, we can apply old lessons to this new world in order to succeed. Towards the end of the talk there are 5 key "successful adaptations" that we've observed that are common to those who are winning in the world of APIs.

Who's That Girl: Cat Triviño
by Adie Pieraz
Profiles, VISUALS
Meet the woman who turned her passions into a success story
For someone with a busy schedule, you'd think that Cat Triviño wouldn't be able to spare time for a quick chat on her career, her passions and what it was like growing up outside of Metro Manila. The rest of us can barely carve out enough time for socials, work and sleep, but leave it up to this 26-year-old to make the time anyway—in the middle of the week, no less.
Fresh out of college at the tender age of 18, Cat moved to Manila and dipped her feet into the working world. She went from a humble startup to an online publication before working on digital PR in the telecom space and then landing the role of Brand PR Manager of one of the country's leading companies. Anyone else familiar with #HugotStories? Who are we kidding, of course you are.
A glimpse into her online presence will make you think she's all glitz and glamour, but just an hour with her proved to me just how hard she worked to get to her spot—and how down-to-earth she actually is. The road to success wasn't exactly an easy one for Cat; in fact, it's one that a lot of us might be able to relate to.
Like the rest of us, Cat tried on different hats before she found one she wanted to wear for life. She tried her hand at being a flight attendant, did commercials here and there and even entered beauty pageants (and placed, mind you) along the way. But she had a genuine interest in all things digital—I can still hear the slight embarrassment in her voice telling me how many hours she spent on her family computer—and knew that her heart belonged in the corporate space.
With sheer grit, undeniable talent and amazing grasp of time management, Cat is now part of a PR team that puts together some of our favorite viral stories.
But she didn't get to the top of the food chain—get it?—alone. She has a family back home and parents that taught her she could do anything if she set her mind to it. Cat wasn't brought up to be a woman that waited for things to happen to her and she didn't come from the kind of privilege that could be taken advantage of.
Everything she has? You better know she earned it.
The thing is, no one gets to a position of power and influence without getting scratched along the way. And because everyone seems to think the internet is a free-for-all, Cat isn't immune to the occasional online troll. Instead of ignoring the claims and judgement calls, she's spoken out with class and maturity beyond her years.
She said that speaking is her way of showing younger girls that it's okay be vocal and that no one should just accept the damage thrown their way—as long as it's done in a constructive light. Cat, in her time under public light, has learned to inhale negativity and breathe out positivity for the rest of us.
People might say she's too young or too pretty, others will claim she's fake and doing it all for the camera or the 'gram. But what I learned from my dinner with her is that she isn't cut from that cloth. Yes, she's young and no one can doubt that she's beautiful, but she's intelligent, hardworking and so much more than a face to photograph and film.
She's the type of girl who stands firm on her own two feet, the kind of girl who knows how to push back and when to give in. But most especially, Cat Triviño is the type of woman that isn't afraid to keep learning—and is someone we can all learn a little something from.

The importance of archeology for historical linguistics, part 2
May 11, 2020 @ 5:49 am · Filed by Victor Mair under Language and archeology
« previous post | next post »
This note is about the site of Shimao in northern Shaanxi. It is dated to around four thousand years ago. The architectural details alone are astonishing for that age and place, but there are so many other cultural riches, including sculpture and engraving, plus agricultural advances not found in central China till later. It is only recently, within the last decade, that the site began to be excavated, and new discoveries are ongoing, so we can expect more important findings from Shimao.
Shimao (Chinese: 石峁; pinyin: Shímǎo) is a Neolithic site in Shenmu County, Shaanxi, China. The site is located in the northern part of the Loess Plateau, on the southern edge of the Ordos Desert. It is dated to around 2000 BC, near the end of the Longshan period, and is the largest known walled site of that period in China, at 400 ha.
The city was surrounded by inner and outer stone walls, in contrast to the rammed earth walls typical of Longshan sites in the Central Plain and Shandong. The walls were 2.5 meters thick on average, with perimeters of approximately 4200 m and 5700 m respectively, and feature gates, turrets and watch towers. The earliest site, the "palace centre", was a large stepped pyramid based on a loess hill which had been reworked to make 11 platforms. Each of these was reinforced by stone buttresses. At the top of this pyramid palaces of rammed earth were built. The inner city contained a stone-walled platform, interpreted as a palatial complex, and densely packed residential zones, cemeteries and craft workshops. Unusual features include jade embedded in the city walls, possibly to provide spiritual protection, and paintings of geometrical patterns on the inner walls. Many human skulls were found under the city gate, suggesting ritual sacrifices during construction.
Developments such as bronze working, wheat, barley, sheep, goats and cattle seem to appear here earlier than elsewhere in China, showing that its inhabitants were communicating with Western Eurasian people across extensive trade networks.
I have written about Shimao informally before, but the more we keep finding out about it, the more I come to believe that it is the most important archeological site in China from before the beginning of our era.
Now we are indebted to Jin Xu for his Tweetstream that presents so many fascinating details about Shimao, with more than a dozen stunning photographs (look at them carefully, for they reveal astonishing features of the culture at the site).
Jin Xu's observations are highly perceptive, e.g.:
As Ralph E. Turner puts it, "almost nothing is known about Chinese architecture before the age of Qin (3rd c BC)," because dominant building materials had been rammed earth &timber. But at Shimao, we see a stone city with monumental structures which look like stepped pyramids.
Shimao reveals a lost culture that seemed to have the most advanced building & manufacturing techniques of the time, highly sophisticated ritual& artistic activities. However, it is located far away from the Central Plains where Chinese civilization has been assumed to emerge.
Such stone construction & carvings… had no parallel in any parts of China, but recall those produced by Indo-European Kurgan culture…. In fact, the city is on the eastern edge of Eurasian steppe, which served as a highway between East Asia & Europe in the ancient times.
While the terracotta soldiers suggest contacts between China & the rest of Eurasian world at the beginning of the imperial age, the Shimao city might show such contacts already started at the very beginning of Chinese civilization.
Shimao is of phenomenal importance, not just for the history of China, but for the history of civilization of the whole of Eurasia during the crucial late Neolithic and early Bronze Age.
Do stones and bones speak? I think so.
Li Jaang, Zhouyong Sun, Jing Shao, and Min Li, "When peripheries were centres: a preliminary study of the Shimao-centred polity in the loess highland, China", Antiquity, 92.364 (August 22, 2018), 1008-1022.
Chinese civilisation has long been assumed to have developed in the Central Plains in the mid to late second millennium BC. Recent archaeological discoveries at the Bronze Age site of Shimao, however, fundamentally challenge traditional understanding of 'peripheries' and 'centres', and the emergence of Chinese civilisation. This research reveals that by 2000 BC, the loess highland was home to a complex society representing the political and economic heartland of China. Significantly, it was found that Later Bronze Age core symbols associated with Central Plains civilisations were, in fact, created much earlier at Shimao. This study provides important new perspectives on narratives of state formation and the emergence of civilisation worldwide.

3. Such stone construction & carvings (L) had no parallel in any parts of China, but recall those produced by Indo-European Kurgan culture (R). In fact, the city is on the eastern edge of Eurasian steppe, which served as a highway between East Asia & Europe in the ancient times..
I don't really see why this conflicts with the assumption that Chinese civilization emerged in the north central plains.
Jin Xu said,
Many thanks to Prof. Mair for quoting me here. Although I've been working on cultural exchanges between China and Central Asia, I'm not a specialist on prehistoric archaeology and have never conducted a thorough investigation of the Shimao site. So please forgive me for any misleading or inaccurate claims in my post.
As to Michael's question, the location of Shimao has never been considered part of the Central Plains. The city sits on the edge of the loess plateau and commands a sweeping view of the Ordos grassland. It's literally on the fault line between agricultural and pastoral lands. In fact, the reason the site had been neglected for so long is that those stone walls had been mistaken for sections of the Great Wall built either in the Qin or Ming dynasty.
I understand that Shimao isn't part of the central plains. But when the first observation we make about Shimao is "this has no parallel anywhere else in China", why would we then believe that Shimao is part of the emergence of Chinese civilization?
No parallel in terms of the extensive use of stone as a building and carving material. But the quintessential contents of the city, a large number of jade carvings, are typical of those found in Inner China, and the decorations also reflect the motifs and styles from Central and even South China (Liangzhu culture). These things are the principal markers archaeological use to tell the cultural identity of Neolithic people. In this case, the Shimao people apparently maintained a close tie with cultures in the Central Plains. Many skeletons were found at the site; soon we will know who were those people and where they came from.

Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team
288 Pages, Ages 10-14
A great American sport and Native American history come together in this true story for middle grade readers about how Jim Thorpe and Pop Warner created the legendary Carlisle Indians football team, from New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Award recipient Steve Sheinkin.
"Sheinkin has made a career of finding extraordinary stories in American history." —The New York Times Book Review
A Boston Globe-Horn Book Nonfiction Honor Book
A New York Times Notable Children's Book
A Washington Post Best Book
Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team is an astonishing underdog sports story—and more. It's an unflinching look at the U.S. government's violent persecution of Native Americans and the school that was designed to erase Indian cultures. Expertly told by three-time National Book Award finalist Steve Sheinkin, it's the story of a group of young men who came together at that school, the overwhelming obstacles they faced both on and off the field, and their absolute refusal to accept defeat.
Jim Thorpe: Super athlete, Olympic gold medalist, Native American
Pop Warner: Indomitable coach, football mastermind, Ivy League grad
Before these men became legends, they met in 1907 at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, where they forged one of the winningest teams in American football history.

Before these men became legends, they met in 1907 at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania, where they forged one of the winningest teams in American football history. Called "the team that invented football," they took on the best opponents of their day, defeating much more privileged schools such as Harvard and the Army in a series of breathtakingly close calls, genius plays, and bone-crushing hard work.
This thoroughly-researched and documented book can be worked into multiple aspects of the common core curriculum.
"Along with Thorpe's fascinating personal story, Sheinkin offers a thought-provoking narrative about the evolution of football and the development of boarding schools such as the Carlisle Indian School." —The Washington Post

Praise for Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team
"Sheinkin has made a career of finding extraordinary stories in American history, researching them exhaustively and recounting them at a nimble pace for readers aged 10 and up . . . Thorpe's greatness may be aspirational, but Sheinkin's brisk and forthright delivery makes it seem entirely possible." —The New York Times Book Review
"Sheinkin has created a rich, complex narrative that balances the institutionalized bigotry and racism of the times with the human-interest stories that are often overshadowed by or lost to history . . . A thoroughly engrossing and extensively researched examination of football's first 'all-American.' Highly recommended for U.S. history collections." —School Library Journal, starred review
"A model of research and documentation as well as of stylish writing that tells an always absorbing story." —Booklist, starred review

I was a corpsman in triage. I remember one kid who had taken a direct hit in the stomach. He was still talking but wasn't aware of his wound's severity. When he realized he was really struggling, he felt he wasn't going to make it. He started telling me things to say to his mother. Rough. Really rough. I wasn't ready for that situation. It was a bad time to go and fight for what you believed was righit and to uphold the military tradition of helping those in need and doing, militarily, what you can when the country's well-being was threatened. It seemed nobody appreciated it. I wasn't spat upon, but those kinds of things really make you feel nauseated, you know? It was a bad time for us. It really was.

Land use regression modelling estimating nitrogen oxides exposure in industrial south Durban, South Africa
Muttoo, Sheena; Ramsay, Lisa; Brunekreef, Bert; Beelen, Rob; Meliefste, Kees; Naidoo, Rajen N
(2018) Science of the Total Environment, volume 610-611, pp. 1439 - 1447
(Article)
BACKGROUND: The South Durban (SD) area of Durban, South Africa, has a history of air pollution issues due to the juxtaposition of low-income communities with industrial areas. This study used measurements of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) to develop a land use regression (LUR) model to explain the spatial variation of ... read more air pollution concentrations in this area. METHODS: Ambient NOx was measured over two two-week sampling periods at 32 sites using Ogawa badges. Following the ESCAPE approach, an annual adjusted average was calculated for these results and regressed against pre-selected geographic predictor variables in a multivariate regression model. The LUR model was then applied to predict the NOx exposure of a sample of pregnant women living in South Durban. RESULTS: Measured NOx levels ranged from 22.3-50.9μg/m(3) with a median of 36μg/m(3). The model developed accounts for 73% of the variance in ambient NOx measurements using three input variables (length of minor roads within a 1000m radius, length of major roads within a 300m radius, and area of open space within a 1000m radius). Model cross validation yielded a R(2) of 0.59. Subsequent participant exposure estimates indicated exposure to ambient NOx ranged from 19.9-53.2μg/m(3), with a mean of 39μg/m(3). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This is the first study to develop a land use regression model that predicts ambient concentrations of NOx in a South African context. The findings of this study indicate that the participants in the South Durban are exposed to high levels of NOx that can be attributed mainly to traffic. show less

Joseph's chance meeting with Philip Held casts doubts on the motivations of his bride-to-be, and as her duplicity is revealed during their marriage, Joseph's love for Philip becomes more and more vital to his survival.The notes accompanying each chapter of this book move from the private life of the man who inspired the story (Fitz-Greene Halleck), through the secrets of its author (Bayard Taylor), noting especially his private love for and public rivalry with Walt Whitman (Leaves of Grass). The notes then expand on Whitman's unique position in gay and American history: the nascent coming-out letters Whitman called "avowals" from the likes of Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde; Whitman's witnessing of the Civil War, the Lincoln presidency, and his lover's chance attendance at Ford's Theater the night of Lincoln's assassination; as well as Whitman's own understanding and defense for writing honestly about the love of men.The structure of the project combines Taylor's original 1870 novel with brief strings of American history, contemporary anecdote, and curiosities from a more secret history. A new topic is positioned behind every chapter, providing the background that reveals just how important this novel was at the time, how rare it is now, and how daring it's always been to tell the truth.

Selena Gomez dissing ex-Justin Bieber in new video clip? (VIDEO)
In the video, the girls also mouth the lyrics of the song, which includes the lines:'Your boyfriend is a d*****bag and everybody knows ...You know he's got somebody on the side, girl ... I really think it's time girl, you quit defending him.'
London, March 11 (IANS) Singer Selena Gomez now laughs at ex-beau Justin Bieber's immature and crazy behaviour.
She also made fun of him when she heard of Bieber threatening a photographer in London earlier this week.
"She doesn't care anymore. Bieber is crazy and she doesn't want to be his mom anymore. She feels so free and loves hanging out with her girlfriends. He is weird and she doesn't find his behaviour hot or anything," femalefirst.co.uk quoted a source as saying.
Just like Biebs: Selena is also seen wearing a hoodie over her head and low-slung trousers in the clip, similar attire to what her ex-Justin Bieber wears almost on a daily basis
"Gomez wants to date someone who is mature and intelligent. Gomez is doing really well and feels relaxed after dumping Bieber. She finds him to be embarrassing since their breakup. He's turned into exactly the kind of person she'd never want to be with," the source added.
While it is unknown whether or not it is a direct diss to Justin, the timing of the video comes after the Baby singer has been causing quite a raucous in London for the past week

King County Executive Dow Constantine

Dow Constantine
Executive celebrates grand opening of Passage Point housing project in Maple Valley
King County Executive Dow Constantine celebrated the YWCA's Passage Point at a grand opening celebration for the housing project that will provide 46 single parents who are exiting the corrections system with not just a new home, but the services and support to build a new life and a new future for themselves and for their children.
"In a county named in honor of Martin Luther King Jr., equity and social justice must be at the core of our vision for our county's future," said Executive Constantine. "We wanted to create a program that would support both the parents and the children – and help the family to succeed."
Executive Constantine praised the extraordinary collaboration over nearly a decade to replace the old Cedar Hills Addiction Treatment Facility with the new facility that reunites parents returning to the community after incarceration with their children.
The Executive recognized Sue Sherbrooke, Chief Executive Officer of YWCA Seattle | King |Snohomish and the YWCA staff for their exceptional commitment to helping women and families achieve self-sufficiency. He also commended Stephen Norman and the King County Housing Authority for early and steadfast support for Passage Point and the dedication of 46 housing vouchers.
Rep. Tina Orwall, 33rd District was recognized by both Executive Constantine and Stephen Norman for her commitment to homeless housing and her participation as a member of the original design team.
A YWCA client of Passage Point, Cynthia Liggitt, shared her story of returning to the community following her own incarceration and the challenges she faces in building a new life for herself and her toddler.
"I'm learning to tell the truth about my life so that I don't go down that wrong route again, and I hope that my story might help others," said Liggett. In thanking the YWCA for the services she is receiving and the hope she feels for the future, Liggett said, "I honestly do not know where my daughter and I would be if not for Passage Point. I am so grateful."
A comprehensive range of services will be available, mostly on-site, including mental health and substance abuse counseling and treatment, case management, parenting classes, school liaison and children's services, and education, job training and placement services – all with the goal of increasing the strength and stability of the family and building a path toward self sufficiency.
The YWCA is working closely with the Issaquah School District to ensure that the children living at Passage Point will be integrated into district schools. The site includes a children's playground, computer labs, and sport courts.
"YWCA Passage Point will change lives for generations," said Sherbrooke. "Like the life-changing work that happens here with parents and their children, the Passage Point campus is a successful partnership among a wide range of community members and organizations, including the King County 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness. It could not have happened without our King County partners and a host of other very committed community associates. We thank all those who joined us in this innovative venture, including King County, the King County Veterans and Human Services Levy, and the King County Housing Authority."
The event marked the culmination of nine years of work by King County and many partners, seeking to find the right future for the county-owned site of the former Cedar Hills Addiction Treatment Facility that closed its doors in 2002. The YWCA began construction in the summer of 2010 to refurbish the buildings and restore the grounds.
One building on the site, the Fagan Building, was torn down in a green deconstruction project coordinated by the County's Department of Natural Resources and Parks and by the County Facilities Management Division. The project included an on-the-job training component for 10 YouthSource students enrolled in the King County Work Training Program who gained salvage and recycling skills through their internship. The project responded to the neighbors' request to remove the building in an environmentally sensitive process that would restore the site to its natural habitat, and resulted in reusing and keeping out of the landfill more than 90 percent of the materials from the building.
King County contributed almost $5 million in capital funding to the project, including $4 million in current expense funds and nearly $1 million in Veterans and Human Services Levy funds. In addition to capital funds, over $1.5 million in additional Levy funds have been invested in education, employment and treatment services to help parents succeed as they exit the criminal justice system. Other funders of the project include the King County Housing Authority, the federal government via federal stimulus grants, the State of Washington, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Released Internationally on 31/07/08
Released in Malta by KRS on 13/08/08
Preview (01/08/08)
When in doubt, make sequels. Another big movie franchise from recent summers is back for another effects-laden assault on the box-office. After the hugely enjoyable The Mummy nearly 10 years ago, and its sequel The Mummy Returns, Brendan Fraser is back in the boots of adventurer Rick O'Connell to once again save us all from the undead.
Why we're hyped
The original film was great fun, with a likeable Indiana Jones-type hero taking us through a good old-fashioned history-lesson and adventure. We then had an inferior but still enjoyable sequel, and a rather forgettable spin-off (The Scorpion King). Now, after a 6 year-gap, we're shifting location to China where a rather unpleasant emperor is awoken from his supposedly-final resting place, and with the services of the Terracotta Army at his disposal things could get ugly.
Who's in it?
Besides the obligatory return of Brendan Fraser, we also have John Hannah resuming his comic-relief sidekick role as Jonathan Carnahan. Rachel Weisz decided to opt out of this one, and Maria Bello (A History of Violence) takes her place. Jet Li fills yet another villainous role as the emperor. The director of the previous two instalments also decided it was time for fresh ideas, so the director's chair is now occupied by Rob Cohen, whose impressive action resume includes Daylight, DragonHeart, xXx and The Fast and the Furious.
Review (12/08/08)
Good timing, nice location
It could be coincidence, but after Kung-Fu Panda, this is the second big movie of the summer to be set in China, during this spectacular summer of the Beijing games. But whatever the reasons, the change of scene serves this franchise well, because by leaving Northern Africa we are offered a fresh start, and this film manages to feel like a film of its own, rather than simply continuing to stretch the ideas and characters of the first two films.
Like father, likes mummies
After the spectacular and promising prologue, which takes us back to ancient China to show us how the Emperor in question ended up entombed along with all his army, we get to meet the now fully-grown Alex O'Connell. He was just a boy in The Mummy Returns, and already following in the footsteps of his thrill-seeking parents. Now he's deep in the excavation sites of China, while his family think he's studying at university, and he uncovers the expansive tomb of the titular emperor. Mum and dad soon burst onto the scene, but that's not enough to prevent the emperor from awakening and seeing to his unfinished business. The term 'mummy' is used loosely here – what we get is hordes of undead warriors, and Terracotta instead of Tutankhamen.
Unfortunately for such an CGI-heavy film, the special effects here often look sub-par compared to what else has been gracing our big screens for the summer months. There's also a point half-way through when things get a bit silly, and it takes an improbable deus ex machina in the form of three poorly-rendered yetis to bring the heroes, and plot, back on track. Maria Bello does her best at replacing Rachel Weisz (who opted to come to sunny Malta and film Agora, instead), but she doesn't breathe much life into the character.
The goodies
Despite the above, the film manages to be a good dose of spectacular fun, just like its predecessors. Back in 1999, the original Mummy was a great reminder of just how engrossing Indiana Jones' archaeological exploits had been, and Rick O'Connell was as good a substitute as we had seen in years. This summer, the original man with the hat and whip is back at the box-office, but this sequel manages to hold up pretty well. Some homages are pretty obvious - including the mid-century Shanghai nightclub scene which brings back wonderful memories of Club Obi-Wan from Temple of Doom. The supporting cast give mostly solid performances, and the film doesn't outstay it's welcome.

'Bold and the Beautiful' Star Hunter Tylo's Teen Son Drowns
HENDERSON, Nev. – Michael Tylo Jr., son of soap opera star Hunter Tylo, has died in a swimming pool accident. He was 19.
He was pronounced dead just before midnight Thursday at a home in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson, authorities said. The cause of death was listed as accidental drowning, according to the Clark County coroner's office.
Hunter Tylo stars on CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful." The 45-year-old actress was in Los Angeles at the time of the incident, show representative Eva Demirjian said. Demirjian declined further comment.
Michael Tylo Jr. was dead when police arrived following a call from an unidentified person, Henderson police spokesman Todd Rasmussen said.
Hunter Tylo's ex-husband Michael Tylo is an assistant professor of film at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
The actress has three other children, Chris, Izabella Gabrielle and Katya Ariel.

Hereford and Worcester  was an English non-metropolitan county created on 1 April 1974 by the Local Government Act 1972 from the areas of the former administrative county of Herefordshire, most of Worcestershire (except Halesowen, Stourbridge and Warley, which became part of the West Midlands) and the county borough of Worcester. An aim of the Act was to increase efficiency of local government: the two counties are among England's smaller and less populous counties, particularly after the same Act transferred some of Worcestershire's most urbanised areas to the West Midlands.

The county bordered Shropshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands to the north, Warwickshire to the east, Gloucestershire to the south, and Gwent and Powys in Wales to the west. It was abolished in 1998 and reverted, with some transfers of territory, to the two separate historic counties of Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

Creation

The Local Government Boundary Commission in 1948 proposed a merger of the two counties, but the proposals of this Commission were not implemented. A merger of Herefordshire with South Worcestershire was again proposed by the Redcliffe-Maud Report in 1969, and was retained in the Conservative Party's February 1971 White Paper (gaining more of Worcestershire), although no name was given. In the Local Government Bill introduced into Parliament in November 1971, it was named "Malvernshire", after the Malvern Hills, which were roughly in the geographical centre of the new county and formed the former border. This name was ridiculed and was altered during the Bill's passage through Parliament. The name Wyvern was also suggested, combining the names of the rivers that run through the two cities and counties: the River Wye through Hereford, and the River Severn through Worcester; a wyvern is a dragon emblem often found in heraldry. A commercial radio station for the area, Wyvern FM was set up in 1982 using this allusion. It was also used much later by the FirstGroup who renamed their bus operations in the area First Wyvern as opposed to the more historical First Midland Red used previously.

Herefordshire had about 140,000 people, far fewer than Worcestershire, with about 420,000 and the change was thus perceived in Herefordshire as a takeover rather than a merger, especially after it emerged that the administrative centre was to be located to the east of Worcester city. It never attracted the loyalties of residents. A "Hands off Herefordshire" campaign was set up, and the proposal was opposed by Herefordshire County Council.

A Hereford bull was led down Whitehall on 6 April 1972, as part of a protest, which also involved a petition handed in at 10 Downing Street calling for the preservation of Herefordshire.

Despite the opposition of many of the population of Herefordshire, neither of the county's two Conservative MPs opposed the merger. Parliamentary opposition had to be led from outside the county by Terry Davis, MP for Bromsgrove, who noted that the petition had been signed by 60,000 people. Clive Bossom, the MP for Leominster in Herefordshire, supported the merger, noting that "much of South Worcestershire is very like Herefordshire".

It was originally proposed to have a single large Herefordshire district within Hereford and Worcester. But this was divided, with separate Hereford, South Herefordshire and Leominster districts, and part of Herefordshire in the Malvern Hills district.

Meanwhile, large sections of Worcestershire in the Black Country and Birmingham suburbs were moved to the West Midlands. This was intended to create a more unified metropolitan county, since prior to this the conurbation had been split between Staffordshire, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire. As a result, Hereford & Worcester was quite rural in character. These transfers continued a slow process of simplifying Worcestershire's boundaries, which once had included a complex set of exclaves within other counties.

Districts
Hereford and Worcester was divided into nine districts:

Abolition

As part of the 1990s English local government reform, the Local Government Commission under John Banham recommended that Herefordshire should become a unitary authority, with the rest of the former county retaining a two-tier structure. This came into effect on 1 April 1998. A new Herefordshire district was formed from the Herefordshire parts of Malvern Hills and Leominster, along with Hereford and South Herefordshire, and became a unitary authority. The remainder of those two districts became a new Malvern Hills district, in the new two-tier non-metropolitan county of Worcestershire, along with the remaining districts.

Despite its abolition, some remnants of Hereford & Worcester's existence remain. For example, there is still a Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service. Also, the name is still used by some organisations, such as the BBC local radio station BBC Hereford and Worcester. There is also a Hereford and Worcester Chamber of Commerce.

If Hereford and Worcester still existed, the population of the county would be 787,893 people in 2019.

Oil hits 2-week high, then retreats as Powell dims rate hopes
Business // Energy
Alex Nussbaum, Bloomberg

Oil closed at its highest level in more than two weeks and then stumbled after Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell seemed to dim hopes for more interest rate cuts.
Futures were little changed in New York, after settling 0.9% higher at the end of official trading. While the Fed cut rates for the first time in a decade on Wednesday, Powell told reporters it wasn't the start of an extended cycle of monetary-policy easing to protect the economy.
The U.S. dollar spiked -- typically a bearish sign for crude sales. The hawkish statements undid the advances futures made earlier in the day after the U.S. Energy Department said American crude inventories had fallen by 8.5 million barrels last week, a seventh straight decline that was higher than industry and analyst estimates.
Prices nonetheless ended July slightly up, after a streaky month in which growth concerns competed with simmering Middle East tensions that risk disrupting global supplies. U.S. equity markets also fell on Powell's comments.

"There's this sort of balance of terror between macroeconomic conditions and U.S. production growth, which are bearish, and all of the geopolitical tensions out there," said Judith Dwarkin, chief economist at Calgary-based consultant RS Energy. "The market is just kind of in a position of stasis right now."
West Texas Intermediate for September delivery was 6 cents higher at $58.11 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 3:08 p.m. It closed at $58.58 for its fifth straight daily increase.
Brent crude for September, which expired Wednesday, added 45 cents to $65.17 a barrel on the ICE Futures Europe exchange at the end of trading. The more-active October contract fell 15 cents after close to $64.48.
The EIA report showed total U.S. inventories at the lowest level since late May. Total petroleum products supplied, a measure of demand for crude and other fuels, reached 21.1 million barrels on a four-week average, the highest ever for this period in data going back to 1990.
The lower U.S. 48 states pumped 1 million more barrels, however, as the slowdown in Gulf of Mexico oil production after Hurricane Barry faded.
"The EIA report in and of itself was constructive, but these factors outside the market are weighing prices down," said Andy Lipow, president of Lipow Oil Associates LLC in Houston.
