186th Commencement Ceremony
Four-hundred sixty-seven members of Colby's Class of 2007 received bachelors' degrees at Colby's 186th Commencement on Sunday, May 27. Senior Class Speaker Kate Braemer, of Philadelphia, Pa., said the last four years had been all about challenge, and she told her classmates, "Colby has taught us not to hold back."
Nobel economist Thomas Schelling, the Commencement speaker, celebrated almost 62 years since the first and last nuclear weapons were used. "To my generation," he said, "finishing the 20th century without any further use of nuclear weapons is plain unbelievable." Then he said the nuclear threat may not be the biggest concern of the next 62 years. "If you want to give me another honorary degree next year, I'll be happy to come back and talk about global warming," he concluded.
Honorary doctoral degrees were awarded to Schelling; John Barth, the writer; Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, a distinguished visiting fellow from the Brookings Institution and former finance minister of Nigeria; jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins; and Adam D. Weinberg, director of the Whitney Museum of American Art.
Ivica Petrikova, of Bratislava, Slovakia, class marshal and valedictorian, led the procession of seniors.
Ashley Anne Hunt, of Winnetka, Ill., received the only prize traditionally awarded at commencement, the Randall J. Condon Medal. The Condon Medal is awarded to the member of the senior class who embodies the finest qualities of constructive citizenship.
President William D. Adams presented degrees under sunny skies on the lawn in front of Colby's Miller Library before a throng of families and friends of the graduates. Members of the Class of 2007 hailed from 37 countries and 36 states.
Braemer thanked the parents and mentors who helped her and her classmates on "the migration from bumbling children to quasi-mature adults." Introduced as the woman who won both the chainsaw and single-buck events against all men at the North East regional woodsmen's team meet this year, Braemer reflected on the changes that four years at Colby had wrought among the graduates. "I had no idea I would be trading in my chain-link bracelets for chainsaws and my cardigans for Carhartts."

"Clone Wars" director Genndy Tartakovsky is set to take on the new animated family comedy "Hotel Transylvania" about a vacation resort run by the count himself. But wait, he's also a dad! Adam Sandler, who is somewhat tolerable, will play Dracula, Kevin James, who is not tolerable, will play Frankenstein and Fran Drescher who is just lovely will play his bride.
Speaking of Dracula, Asia Argento, who is Dario Argento's daughter and therefore bat shit insane, has posted a bunch of pictures on her twitter account from the set of "Dracula 3D". The film is a new retelling of the classic vampire story by said bat shit insane girl's father. And if the pictures bore you there's some other ones from her recent vacation to Colonial Williamsburg. I assume.
Dimension Films has picked up the rights to Kyle Kurpinski and Terry D. Johnson's sci-fi book "How to Defeat Your Own Clone" with the plans of adapting it for the big screen. The book, which is something of a handbook, is a comedic romp into the world of what to do when the machines rise up and try to destroy us all. Which I think was suppose to happen a few weeks ago. Little late with the advice, fellas.
A new poster for the upcoming Daniel Craig flick "Dream House" has hit the tubes and it's kind of bad ass. Mostly because it's got Daniel Craig in it and he could take all of us in a fight. Well I'm guessing he could. I don't know who's reading this. If The Rock is reading this I don't think he could take you. Also I'd like to hang out with you if that's possible.

At first we weren't going to have a photographer. We were convinced we couldn't afford one and didn't need one. Some of our friends have dSLRs and we were hoping they would help us out. DIY photography all the way!
But then I got sucked into the world of wedding blogs and Pinterest. I started feeling jealous of these couples I didn't even know for their gorgeous photos! My BFF strongly advised me that I would definitely regret not having a photographer. I started feeling bad about the idea of asking our friends to don cameras on our big day. Thus I secretly started looking around the web, "just to see what's out there." "You don't need a photographer!" the logical, thrifty side of my brain told me. "But maybe, just maybe, if you could find one that's not too expensive…" the other side whispered.
And that's when I stumbled upon Bright Fizz Photo, based in Phoenix, Arizona. "Wow," I thought, as I perused the website, "These photos are so fun and quirky!"
Although I am normally annoyed when websites start blasting music at me, I actually really liked the songs playing in the background on Bright Fizz's site. More points for good taste in music!
Plus, Zach and I totally agree with their philosophy! "Our style of photography is not traditional. We like the candid, silly moments that every couple has to offer. We do not like the standard poses with two people smiling at the camera. We create images that really show the style and connection of two people in love. Our style is happy with a little bit of funk."
"So who is behind these awesome photos?" I wondered, "And how can we possibly afford them?" So I sent an email to Rachel, the wonder-woman behind Bright Fizz. It turns out that she and her husband Nick run the business and they both seem super awesome-sauce. And, amazingly enough, they are AFFORDABLE! (Basic wedding packages start at only $1500!)
I pretty much knew I NEEDED Rachel to photograph our wedding as soon as we talked. So I turned to my parents and asked them if they'd be willing to gift us our wedding photography and they said yes! I guess it's kind of breaking the rule of paying for everything ourselves, but since Zach's parents are providing our venue, my parents also really wanted to contribute something tangible. This will make everyone happy!
We haven't met Rachel in person yet, but we will definitely be doing that before the wedding. For now though, her awesome photos and the personality that shines through her emails are enough to convince me she's going to do a great job! Wedding photo win!
Did anyone else decide they had to have a photographer after initially not wanting one?

SAN DIEGO, California, April 11 /PRNewswire/ --
- Newly Established Organization Presents Data on Advancing Compounds at AACR -
Ortho Biotech Oncology Research & Development (ORD), a unit of Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C., will announce results from studies of three innovative compounds--Hdm2, c-Met, and HDAC inhibitors --here at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) 2008 Annual Meeting.
"ORD is a new research and development organization that unites the biotechnology and pharmaceutical oncology efforts of several Johnson & Johnson companies with the goal of transforming cancer into a chronic or curable disease," said William Hait, M.D., Senior Vice President and Worldwide Head of Ortho Biotech Oncology Research & Development. "The new organization harnesses broad, multi-disciplinary capabilities and expertise in order to prioritize existing and emerging opportunities, align cancer treatment with modern cancer biology and improve patients' lives."
ORD's scientific approach to cancer examines the cancer cell and the surrounding tissue, or microenvironment. Previously, researchers often studied cancer as collections of malignant cells growing in isolation, but now understand cancer cells depend on interactions with the surrounding tissue to survive, grow and metastasize. ORD seeks to identify compounds which can inhibit or block the interaction cancer cells have with the surrounding tissues, which compromises the cancer's ability to survive.
The organization will combine the microenvironment disruptive agents (MDAs) resulting from this approach with classic treatments that directly target cancer cells. MDAs represent one of the most promising areas of drug discovery, and ORD has a pipeline of several investigational MDAs, including some of which are first-in-class and first-in-clinic.
Pre-clinical data presented at this year's AACR meeting demonstrate evidence of broad-spectrum, anti-tumor activity for three new compounds. These compounds selectively target specific pathways and influence the interaction between cancer cells and the microenvironment to induce cancer cell death. The presentations include:
- JNJ-26854165, a first-in-class, first-in-clinic Hdm2 inhibitor which induces apoptosis (programmed cell death) in a number of cancer cell lines, and restores function of the p53 tumor suppressor protein through a novel mechanism of action; the compound is in phase I studies for non-small cell lung cancer and prostate cancer. (Oral abstract #1592)
- JNJ-26481585, a novel, second-generation pan-Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with anti-tumor activity against solid and hematological malignancies, which interferes with expression of genes that control cancer cell proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis; phase I trials are ongoing. (Oral abstract #2444)
- JNJ-38877605, a small molecule that selectively and potently inhibits the c-Met receptor tyrosine kinase (c-Met RTK) pathway that regulates inhibition of signaling from the microenvironment to block cancer cell development and metastasis; based on promising pre-clinical properties and clean toxicity profile of JNJ-38877605, ORD has advanced this potent and uniquely selective c-Met inhibitor into clinical evaluation in multiple metastasized malignancies. (Poster abstract #4837)
"These new agents are just a few of the novel compounds from our pipeline that we hope may lead to the control of cancer," Dr. Hait said. "The scientific community is attempting to identify all the genetic abnormalities within cancer cells; this has yielded a finite number of treatment opportunities. The scientific approach of ORD has the potential to generate new opportunities to improve cancer care."
About Our Compound Targets
Human Double Minute 2 (Hdm2)
The Hdm2 oncogene is activated in cancers through various mechanisms, including gene amplification and deletion of upstream tumor suppressors. Hdm2 over-expression induces tumor formation, and Hdm2 levels correlate with sporadic tumor incidence in humans(i). Hdm2 promotes tumor cell proliferation by associating with cell cycle regulatory proteins, modulating their activity and stability. Key examples include p53, p73, E2F1 and HIF1a(ii),(iii). This positions the Hdm2 protein as an attractive target for the development of anti-cancer agents.
Histone Deacetylase (HDAC)
DNA in chromatin is wound around proteins called histones. HDACs are a family of enzymes that influence gene expression through selective regulation of chromatin structure. Inappropriate gene expressions, due to changes in chromatin structure, are a hallmark of cancer. HDAC inhibitors aim to normalize chromatin structure, thereby restoring the activity of genes which inhibit proliferation, angiogenesis and metastasis(iv).
c-Met Receptor Tyrosine Kinase (c-Met RTK)
Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) are cell surface receptors that regulate many key processes including invasive growth and cell survival. The c-Met RTK pathway has been shown to be specifically important in regulation of cell migration and invasion, cell proliferation, survival and angiogenesis. Deregulation of c-Met RTKs has been implicated in the development and progression of numerous human cancers. The c-Met RTK inhibitors prevent receptor activation and thus inhibit tumor cell development and metastasis(v),(vi),(vii),(viii).

Genasi are the physical manifestations of the Elemental Chaos, and their fiery nature churns within, giving them power to overcome difficult challenges. Each genasi comes from a different part of the Elemental Chaos-- Airsoul Genasi are born from the raging winds that Thundersoul Genasi also originated from; Earthsoul Genasi were forged from the very earth twisted by the various chaotic elements that swarm around the earthen halls; Firesoul Genasi are the embodiment of their malevolent flames; Watersoul Genasi are formed by the calm currents within the tormenting seas of the chaos.
Play a Genasi if you want...
- to experience the bewildering powers of the Elemental Chaos.
- to gain the knowledge of controlling and manipulating the forces of the natural world.
- To be a member of a race that favors the Fighter, Rogue, Sorcerer, and Wizard classes.
Physical Qualities[edit | edit source]
Genasi have a basic humanoid structure, but resemble more of elementals, or more specifically the archons. A genasi's body may be carved with eccentric patterns which reveals their glowing cores-- their life force. Many genasi belive in the nature of Arcane, and have a firm jurisdiction that the arcane energies originated from the Chaos that they had come from.
Naturally they are servants, for they had originally served the djinn, efreets, and other primordial creatures. Their boundless nature was overtaken by their need to explore the world beyond their small prisons. As a result, the Genasi rebelled against their owners. In return, the genasi would have to suffer the consequences of these markings upon their skin. Many of these markings came from the djinn, but some are physical scratches from primordial creatures.
Playing a Genasi[edit | edit source]
Many genasi are restless adventurers, seeking out civilizations to adapt to and to find other genasi allies separated from the Primordial battles. Most are attuned with the Arcane energies that flow around them, and study lore about them, while others skip to the path of martial combat, using their own primordial powers whenever necessary. Genasi arcane masters are ones who wish to manifest the different powers of the Chaos, and they become known as elemental dervishes.
There are some who seek out the darkest corners of the world and devise of plots to bring down weaker civilizations. These genasi still have their loyalty to the great Primordials below.
Most genasi out in the world are great to have along in an adventuring party, due to their array of abilities giving them the upper hand against their enemies. Genasi like to wander the wilderness moreso than the darkness of caverns or dungeons, for they believe that they may find a portal to the Chaos and that they might be reclaimed by their ruthless captors once again.
Genasi Characteristics: Ambiguous, benevolent, chaotic, determined, far-fetched, hopeful, ludicrous, rasp, tenacious
Male Names: Alnata, Buthcal, Celbata, Et'thar, Gorfni, Hal'gharn, Indicus, Kelva'rha, Laspust, Meirane, Nekroh, Ruini, Saltaba, Sontro'vhi, Telbatra, Toronir, Umbaltis, Vektro, Walbin
Female Names: Ainara, Celtara, Deshani, El'karin, Fra'nika, Ilshara, Kinshali, Lo'hatra, Nalhira, Palkeiru, Roshara, Schi'vya, Sultara, Un'batra, Vintrana, Vul'shia
Genasi Adventurers[edit | edit source]
Three sample Genasi adventurers are described below.
El'karin is an airsoul genasi rogue who delights in hiding between the shadows. She holds her runetouched dagger close to her, and when the moment comes, she lashes out with the torrents of the winds behind her- keeping herself silent and focused on her attack. When she does strike, she targets the weakest spot she can get to without giving away herself in the midst of combat. Her skills as a secretive spy and a killer's eye makes her a feared rogue amongst her known enemies.
Kelva'rha is a firesoul genasi fighter who believes in the most basic principle of martial combat. He is an ambitious soul who trains day and night to find a way to battle his opponents in the best way possible without losing too much of his energy. His focus is dealing as much damage as possible, while keeping a close eye on others as well. Tactically delivering the needed damame wherever needed is an accomplishment he has made several times, and wishes to continue this training to find even more ways to exploit his enemies' weaknesses.
Schi'vya is an genasi sorcerer who believes in the simplest energies to be that from the Chaos itself. Her ideals and beliefs tell her that the road to enlightenment is the manifesting of the chaos and its powers. It is an endless world of raw arcane energy and ordained arcane lore. Her training with such energies may give her a clear advantage over her enemies when she finally trains herself to become an elemental dervish. Once she has gained that title, she can unleash the chaos upon her enemies, sinking its raw power into the battlefield and diminishing her enemies' hopes.

A Fool In Morrowind, Day 7 - Powerhat
Let me tell you about my hat.
- It is the first thing in I've paid for in this land, bar some skill training and a few lockpicks.
- It cost me 1500 gold pieces, which is more than most shopkeepers even carry. Easily obtained and replaced by a man of my stealthy means, frankly.
- It's around a foot and a half tall, made of what appears to be brass, and masks my features entirely with a cold, machine-like visage. Yes, it does appear as though I'm wearing a giant, metal vegetable on my face, but I like the look.
- It's of Dwemer (that's Tamriel's mysteriously-vanished race of dwarves) origin, which is why it so closely resembles the faces of the Dwemer Centurions, the clockwork guards I encountered yesterday.
- That it fits me, a lanky Dunmer, so very snugly suggests the widely-held belief that the Dwemer were short of stature is perhaps a myth. Dwarves = tall. Goddit?
- A purple haze of otherworldly magicks crackles across its surface. In other words, I shimmer, daaaaahling.
- I can wear my Dark Brotherhood mouth-mask on top of it. This looks agreeably ridiculous, like an grumpy robot doctor.
- Whilst wearing my hat, I can breathe underwater indefinitely. It doesn't appear to rust, either.
- Whilst wearing it, I am completely invisible. Upon performing any action, I turn visible again – but unless it involved attacking someone, no-one will have caught me performing said action.
- If I remove the hat then put it back on again, my invisibility will immediately be restored.
- This means I can instantly escape from any fight that's not going my way.
- This also means I can steal anything, entirely undetected. I can even lockpick in plain sight whilst wearing it.
- This hat has changed my life.
- This hat has made me into a complete and utter bastard.
I give you… Powerhat! Powerhat's power does, unfortunately come at a price.
First up, for every second I wear it, my reserves of magicka drip away. If I leave it on for a couple of minutes, I'll be all out of the blue stuff, and unable to cast any spells until I go for a kip and quaff a tonic or two. I can't say I care. While I respect what magic can achieve, it's not really my style. I'm good with a shortsword, and I've amassed a large collection of trinkets with handy mystical tricks for all occasions. I'm also carrying something in the region of 60 potions on me. Magic? I don't need no stinkin' magic.
More annoyingly, it reduces my agility by around 15%. This means I need to remember to take it off whenever I wind up fighting someone, or I'm significantly more likely to ineptly swipe at thin air rather than stick my sword into their ear. It's scarely a deal-breaker, but having to change hats in the middle of a sword fight doesn't make me feel like the epic hero I'm surely destined to be. I want the minstrels to sing tales of the Master Thief, the expert swordsman – not "that guy with all the hats."
It has been a revelation, however. I've used it to rob smugglers' caves bare under their very noses, to miraculously escape from a Daedra Lord I ran into whilst exploring a sinister ruin, and to pick off a pack of corrupt imperial guards who were otherwise dramatically stronger than me, one-by-one.
Most of all, I used it to break into a heavily-guarded vault in the water-bound capital city of Vivec. It contained, along with generous piles of cash, a repository of supremely powerful items accrued by one of the six great houses, of vast value and vast ability. There was more than I could carry, and certainly more than I could use, but I grabbed as much as I could and ran out laughing.
I sold what I didn't need, and spent the proceeds on training up every skill I could. I also bought a ridiculous number of spells I'll never use (largely because Powerhat means I've got no magicka). Finally, I splashed out almost 10000g on enchanting the best shortsword in my haul with a horrifyingly damage fire attack. I named it Optimus Slice, and it makes me nigh-on unstoppable.
Or so I suspect. I'm just off to test out this theory…
PS – I met a unicorn!
PPS – No, of course I didn't kill it. What do you think I am? I did have a chat with it, though.

In 1991, as the Gulf War raged, the stage for Neil Young's Ragged Glory tour was adorned with an outsized microphone tied with a yellow ribbon. Fifteen years later, as Young hit the road with Crosby, Stills, and Nash for their 2006 Freedom of Speech tour, the prop was back. That we're in Iraq — again — makes Young "crazed." Not all CSNY fans feel the same. Directed by Young (as his alter ego Bernard Shakey), this documentary sees the foursome dusting off Vietnam-era protest songs and dipping into Young's excoriating '06 solo album, Living with War. Upon hearing that record's "Let's Impeach the President," one Atlanta crowd showers the stage with boos and obscenities. But if some think "four balding hippie millionaires" should just can the politics and play the hits, that's not how Neil rolls. If three-quarters of CSNY are a bit doughy and/or dweeby these days, at least Young is still rocking in the free world. 96 minutes | Kendall Square

My lymphedema began about six months after my hysterectomy and radiation therapy for uterine cancer. I am now twelve years post and managing my condition quite well. I had therapy for a few months the first year and second year. Finally, came to realize I need to wear compression panty hose on a daily basis 30/40mmgg. I sleep wearing a Tribute garment -- like wearing a pair of shorts with one leg going down to the knee. I still do MLD nightly, but it takes less time than initially. I do water aerobics three times a week, ride a horse three or four times a week, all without discomfort. I hope this information helps you.
I do have a current concern regarding potential knee replacement surgery in my future. But I have plenty of time to research that issue before making a final decision.
It sounds like you have excellent care and resources available to you. I hope your condition settles down like mine did and you have no complications.

Israel, and Jew-controlled companies working largely for Jewish supremacist racist interests, have systematically worked their way into airport security operations all around the world, and are using their access for motives against the national motives of the countries in which the airports are sited (this type of thing was probably first noticed in the wake of September 11, where the airports involved in the attacks all had significant Jew-controlled security). I'm not singling Israel out - no other country comes even close to having this kind of operation (run by the 'dual loyalists' in each country whose only loyalty is to Jewish supremacism). Note that the Jewish operations break most modern human rights laws.
The reason? Israel perceives, correctly, that its motives run counter to the motives of all the good and decent people in the world, and therefore needs to get a leg up on everybody else by conducting extraordinary spying operations. It really comes down to the Jews on one side, and the whole world on the other. Yet another reason why Israel, out of all the countries in the world, is uniquely evil, and needs to be put down like a mad dog.

BERLIN – Union members at online retailer Amazon's German operations have begun a two-day strike to ratchet up pressure on the company over pay demands.
The ver.di union says workers at Amazon's distribution centres in Leipzig and Bad Hersfeld began the strike Monday following three earlier one-day strikes since May.
The union says Amazon's roughly 5,300 workers at the sites receive lower wages than their peers in the online retail industry.
Amazon says workers are performing mainly logistical work and should therefore receive pay levels appropriate for that industry.

Officials say there's no money to fund new charter schools
O'Brien: Lack of funding not enough to outright reject applications
Supporters of charter schools said Wednesday they're upset the state isn't approving any more applications, but state officials said there just isn't any money to fund them.
The state Board of Education recently said it would no longer approve any charter school applications because the money to fund them isn't there.
But supporters of charter schools said they believe that state law allows for the board to petition the Fiscal Committee for funds.
Testifying before the House Education Committee, Associate Attorney General Anne Edwards said the board had no choice but to deny all pending applications for charter schools, given that money to fund the schools isn't available. She said lack of funding alone is sufficient for the state board not to consider any other aspect of the applications.
"With respect to the state funding issue, yes, they may review just that one criteria and may issue a decision on that," Edwards said.
Edwards said it's her understanding there is about a $5 million hole to fund current charter schools, and applications already in the pipeline would add another $25 million to that total. Edwards said conditional approval would be irresponsible, given recent state Supreme Court decisions.
"As soon as the state board starts saying yes to charter schools, it is arguable … that the state board has committed the state of New Hampshire to make payments to these charter schools," she said.
But Republican House Speaker William O'Brien said he thinks the law is being misread, saying there could be a larger agenda at work.
"The agenda is one where charter schools aren't favored by certain elements in the education community," he said.
O'Brien said there's no reason, despite Edwards' testimony, that the board can't review the other aspects of applications to find out if they're complete.
The state Board of Education meets next week, but Edwards said because it's an election year, it's unlikely the board will take any action until after Election Day.

Are Young Black Men Doing the Work of the Ku Klux Klan?
0 comments, 01/03/2012, by IAmNotARapperiSpit.com, in World News
… or Where Are We Really at War?
This is not an article to demonize young Black men. This is an article to help stop the carnage in Black communities across America, to begin the process of rebuilding these communities and to re-engineer the lives of young Black men. Many young Black men feel angry and are desperate because Black communities and America have failed them. While some of this hopelessness is understandable because of their extreme negative circumstances, it does not give any young Black men the right to hurt others.
Let's begin with a controversial question: Are young Black men doing the work of the Ku Klux Klan as the primary killers of Black people in America? Without much debate, the answer is yes! Although the impetus for Black-on-Black destruction differs from the Klan's motivation, the results are arguably more horrific. Judging strictly by the numbers, the Klan was never as efficient as young Black men are today at killing Black people. According to a study from the Tuskegee Institute, the Ku Klux Klan killed 3,446 Black people in America during an 86-year span compared with Black men who kill about this same number of Black people every six months.
Statistics from the United States Department of Justice clearly show the magnitude of this tragedy on U.S. soil especially when compared with war-related data during a 9½ year period from 2001 through 2010. In two U.S. wars, 6,754 American soldiers were killed (including 2,019 soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001 and 4,735 soldiers in Iraq since 2003).
Statistics show that more than 7,000 Black people are murdered in this country every year! During the 9½ years the U.S. has been at war overseas, about 67,000 Black people were murdered in the United States.
Most of these homicides were committed by Black men, primarily men in the 17-44 year-old-age range, against other Black men in that same age group. Black men comprise about 6.5% of the U.S. population and nearly half of U.S. homicide victims.
Today, the Black community faces a serious irony. Little more than fifty years ago, Black communities wanted Black men to protect them from White men who wore "hoods" while they killed Black people and destroyed their property. Fifty years later, Black communities are asking local (mostly White) police departments and state National Guard units to protect them from our sons and neighbors: mostly young Black men in "hoodies" and ski masks who are killing Black people and destroying their property.
Whether perpetrated by the Ku Klux Klan or by young Black men, this terrorism is decimating Black communities. Opportunities for positive community development and growth are smothered when young Black men murder other young Black men and inadvertently maim and kill other innocent people in these communities. Children are afraid to travel to and from school, middle-income Blacks refuse to reside in high-crime communities, business owners steer clear of inner-city areas and senior citizens become easy prey. Black communities become paralyzed and implode under the weight of Black-on-Black crime, violence and murder.
Five strategies, outlined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, seem to offer the best approach to reduce youth violence and produce long-term, lasting, positive results. These recommended strategies include: (1) build strong families and communities and employ responsible parents as the chief agents to reduce youth violence; (2) teach young children ways to resolve conflict peacefully; (3) provide mentors to serve as guides and role models for positive youth behavior; (4) reduce social and economic causes of violence in young people's environments; and (5) ensure spiritual or character-based training for young children and reinforce that training throughout their early teen years.
Where is the official U.S. government's response to 67,000 Black American citizens slaughtered in its streets during the past 9½ years? Implementing solutions that effectively address this reign of death in the Black community will not and should not come primarily from Washington, state capitals or city halls. While it is the Black community that must strongly respond with effective solutions and actions, government still has a crucial responsibility to support structural remedies to this genocide. So far, local, state and federal governments alike have answered with a "calculated non-response" to the national carnage and human catastrophe of this Black-on-Black murder. This same calculated non-response was the position taken by all levels of government during the reign of terror by the Ku Klux Klan.
More than 145 years after the Klan's founding, only the killers have changed — not the killing, not the victims and not the poor response from government! Are young Black men doing the work of the Ku Klux Klan? They are doing it better than the Klan!!! And the world is watching.

Mpingo: the Timber
Mpingo is renowned for its beautiful dark coloured heartwood which in the best timber is inky black, but ranges from dark brown to even an indigo-purple tint. It is considered to be the "finest of all turnery timbers, cutting most exactly and finishing to a brilliantly polished lustrous surface". The best quality timber can fetch up to $20,000 per cubic metre, twice the price of mahogany and teak. The wood is also incredibly hard and durable. So hard, in fact, that it blunts axes, and as a result the tree is seldom cut for firewood and is sometimes left standing in fields. It is difficult to saw or plane and cannot be screwed or nailed without first drilling.
Several factors are thought to affect the colour of the heartwood. Trees growing in close proximity to the sea often have much paler brown heartwood, which means that growth rings are visible. Brown coloured heartwood is confusingly sometimes known as "white mpingo". The darkest timber is thought to be produced when the tree is growing particularly slowly. Mpingo users have found that often the timber is darker towards the outside of the trunk.
The heartwood is surrounded by a layer of cream coloured sapwood about 2cm thick, hence one of its many names: zebrawood. The sapwood is less dense than the heartwood, which can be as dense as 1.3g per cubic centimetre and sinks in water. The sapwood is significantly less resistant to termite and fungal damage. In comparison, the heartwood is resistant to biotic and abiotic agents of decay, although one species of boring beetle is known to attack it. After the tree has died the heartwood remains standing for many years.
Another name for Mpingo
Because of its dark heartwood, mpingo is frequently referred to as ebony, and mpingo is thought to be the original ebony used by the ancient Egyptians. However this is something of a misnomer; mpingo has little relationship with the true ebonies of the Ebenaceae family, and instead belongs to the rosewood genus, Dalbergia, in the pea family.
