- —Carl Johnson and Sean Johnson, before setting off to where Big Smoke is hiding.
End of the Line is the final storyline mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by his brother and leader of the Grove Street Families, Sean from his home in Grove Street, Ganton, Los Santos.
Carl and Sweet have managed to find out where their former friend, Big Smoke, is hiding. They drive over to Smoke's hideout in East Los Santos while avoiding rioters. Upon arriving, they see that Smoke's crack palace has heavy security and there's no way to enter the place except for breaking through the wall. Carl asks Sweet to wait outside, before attempting to find a way inside the palace. Carl finds a SWAT Tank nearby and steals it while being attacked by SWAT officers and Ballas gang members. He successfully smashes the wall and enters the crack palace.
Upon entering, Carl makes his way through three floors while killing Ballas, Vagos, San Fierro Rifa, and Russian Mafia gang members as well as workers, whom all carry M4s, AK-47s, Combat Shotguns and MP5s amongst other strong weapons. Carl manages to find Big Smoke, who claims that he doesn't feel any regrets over betraying the Grove Street Families and takes out a gun ready to battle Carl. During a shootout, Carl manages to kill Smoke and after a brief conversation questioning Smoke's decision, he says he had no choice and saw the opportunity for power and money before dying. In his death throes, Smoke claims that everyone will remember his name, insuring his legacy. As soon as he dies, Carl sadly laments Smoke's end, muttering "Damn, man. What a waste..."
Frank Tenpenny, who had been watching the whole thing, arrives and asks Carl to put all of Smoke's money in his bag. Tenpenny threatens Carl with a combat shotgun, but Carl distracts him by calling Sweet's name which causes Tenpenny to turn around believing Sweet is right behind him, while Carl dives for cover. After that, Tenpenny takes one last shot at Carl and runs to the second floor and sets the whole building on fire by shooting a generator and causing it to explode. Carl leaves the Crack Palace the same way he came in, killing anyone in his way.
After successfully escaping, Tenpenny attempts to drive away in his Fire Truck but Sweet jumps on his Greenwood and then leaps at the ladder on the back of the truck, and hangs on from the ladder. Carl enters a parked Feltzer and starts to chase Tenpenny. During a long chase throughout Los Santos with Vagos and Ballas on the road throwing molotovs and police chasing the trio, a police officer in the truck gets out and starts stomping on Sweet's fingers. Carl gets the Feltzer under the ladder and Sweet drops onto the hood and then climbs over into the passenger seat.
On Carl's order, Sweet then takes control of the car with Carl acting as the shooter with his Micro SMG. The chase continues throughout the city with Carl destroying Police Cars as well as Vago rioters chasing them in Tornados and on bikes. The chase comes to an end on the bridge going above Ganton where Tenpenny crashes his truck through a breakable part of the bridge. Tenpenny climbs out of the fire truck and deliriously shouts about how he had kept the neighborhood clean with his deeds and would "do it all again" before dying in the middle of Grove Street, where the story began and now where it ends.
During this, Carl, Cesar, Sweet and Kendl confront Tenpenny, and Carl prepares to kill Tenpenny with a Desert Eagle. Sweet lowers Carl's gun however, instead deciding that Tenpenny "killed himself in a traffic accident, no one to blame", possibly so that nobody can link any of them or Grove Street Families to Tenpenny's demise. The Truth then appears, congratulating Carl for "beating the system", a feat which Truth claims would take ages for himself to achieve. Carl informs the others about Big Smoke's death, with Kendl remarking about how Smoke was only out for himself, a statement that Truth agrees with, referring to it as the surest path to Hell ("That or forty pounds of mescaline"). With that, the group reconvene inside the Johnson House to talk about their future. Ken Rosenberg, Madd Dogg, Kent Paul and Maccer enter the house causing the rather paranoid group to ready their guns, then lower them upon seeing who it is. Madd Dogg announces his first gold record and they all celebrate their success before Carl heads out of the house "fittin' to hit the block, see what's happening". Following the end, Catalina calls for the last time and is heard having sex with her boyfriend Claude, in a failed attempt to make Carl jealous.
- Before starting the mission, head over to Mike Toreno's Ranch and grab a minigun. In addition to making clearing each floor easier, it will make the fight with Big Smoke easier, allowing for a rather short gun fight, as the minigun will deplete Big Smoke's health tremendously.
- Completing the Vigilante, Paramedic and Firefighter side-missions will make completing this mission easier, as Carl will have more armor and health during shootouts, and being fireproof makes the fire extinguisher redundant in this mission, which makes the escape easier.

Video Walkthrough
Post-mission phone call script
Carl Johnson: Eh, whassup?
Catalina: (Heavy breathing)
Carl Johnson: Hello?
Catalina: Yes, Claude, faster, harder, DEEPER! Oh, yes, yes, YES!
Carl Johnson: Catalina! You sick! Get help!
Catalina: And you, Carl, you are jealous!
After the mission
Although this is the final mission of the game, the game itself does not end upon its conclusion. Following the closing cutscene and closing credits, Carl is back on Grove Street. A last phone call from Catalina is received, after which Carl is free to roam about San Andreas as the game enters pure sandbox mode. Any leftover non-storyline missions such as the Zero, Wang Cars, and Casino strands can still be played out, as can street races, etc. The riots subside, and a final WCTR news report is broadcast detailing the aftermath of the riots. If 100% Completion has been attained, the various rewards will become available after the closing credits.
In sandbox mode, certain aspects of the San Andreas universe continue to play out. Progress with the various girlfriends will still go up and down depending on whether Carl continues to date them or not; Carl's physical condition will still change depending on actions like working out and eating; enemy gang members may still randomly shoot at Carl when he passes.
Also, Gang Warfare conditions still apply, meaning Carl will still need to defend territory in Los Santos should any neighboring enemy gang areas remain.
- CJ is free of police attention during the mission (aside from the scripted police sequences), much like the effect of the "Lock Wanted Level" cheat. However the said cheat can deactivate this. If the player types the cheat and then deactivates it after the game tells Carl to steal the SWAT Tank, and Carl attacks a police officer, the wanted level will be attained and it is possible for the officer to arrest Carl. This is only confirmed in the PC version of the game.
- Sweet's Greenwood is locked once Carl and Sweet arrive at Big Smoke's Crack Palace, and the player cannot enter it again during the mission. Sweet remains inside until he jumps onto the ladder of the fire truck. Also, the Greenwood is indestructible and can't be moved without a minigun or sawn-off shotgun when the mission fails (similar to in Tagging Up Turf).
- CJ smashing the S.W.A.T. vehicle through the front door of the crack palace is a reference to former LAPD police chief Daryl Gates authorizing the LAPD's S.W.A.T. to use the Cadillac Gage V-100 Commando, an amphibious armored vehicle they referred to as the "battering ram" (which the in-game S.W.A.T. vehicle is based on) to execute search warrants by raiding and smashing into suspected crack dens in South Central Los Angeles during the late-1980s.
- In the cutscene when Carl confronts Big Smoke, Smoke pulls a Combat Shotgun. However, when the gunfight begins, he uses an AK-47, possibly for balancing reasons. His AK-47 has reduced overall performance.
- Similarly, in the cutscene when Tenpenny appears, he pulls out a Combat Shotgun, but later uses a Pump Shotgun to shoot a generator.
- Another strange thing with Big Smoke is after the cutscene where Tenpenny leaves the drug lab, is that Smoke's head is under the couch, regardless of where the player killed him. He also has an AK-47 which he dropped and body armor.
- In the cutscene when Tenpenny asks Carl to give the suitcase full of money over to him, the suitcase passes through Big Smoke's CJD 500.
- No matter what pistol the player has in their inventory, Carl will always have a Desert Eagle when he confronts Smoke, and after he's killed Smoke. This will also be the default weapon Carl pulls out regardless of what weapon the player has selected before the cutscene begins.
- The Feltzer in this mission is bulletproof/fireproof/explosionproof/damageproof, and can be obtained by ditching it. The license plate reads "I LOVE MY AK", which cannot be saved at a garage..
- The two SWAT Tanks seen in this mission are the only two in the entire game. The one used to smash the wall can be stored in a garage, however it will disappear after the mission unless the player fails the mission beforehand.
- The time in this mission is pre-written. Regardless of what time the player begins the mission, the mission will start at 21:30 outside Sweet's house, so the confrontation between Carl and Smoke would be during the night. Although, after Tenpenny blows up the generators and CJ is left alone in the room with Smoke's body, the time is 00:00. Since the player has seven minutes (seven GTA hours) to escape from the lab, when Carl leaves the lab it should be early in the morning. However, when the pursuit of Tenpenny begins, the time is 17:00. Tenpenny's death is around 23:00 and the mission is finally passed at 1:00.
- At one point, a SWAT Tank breaks in through the wall from a back alleyway, allowing S.W.A.T. to enter the building. However, there is no back alleyway on the building's exterior, and there is no hole anywhere where the tank could have burst in through. The tank comes from the Hidden Interiors Universe, as one can tell by re-entering the building after completing the mission, going upstairs to the hole and looking around the exterior.
- When Carl is standing over Tenpenny's corpse, he sarcastically says "See you around...officer!". This is a reference to what Tenpenny says ("See you around like a donut, Carl!") when he shoves Carl out of the police car during first mission and when he says "Hey Carl, see you around" during the opening of Running Dog.
- After Tenpenny dies, the gang heads in the direction of Sweet's house but end up in the Johnson house. Also, The Truth is seen with the gang but is not seen inside the Johnson house.
- The GTA Vice City Stories mission Jive Drive and the GTA V mission Father/Son bear similarities to the second and first parts of the third act.
- In GTA V and the first part, the protagonists Carl Johnson, Michael De Santa and Franklin Clinton use a car (Feltzer and Sentinel) to chase after a truck while Sweet and Jimmy are dangling from the ladder of Tenpenny's firetruck and the side of Michael De Santa's towed boat respectively, and both CJ and Michael must catch Sweet and Jimmy in their cars.
- In GTA VCS and the second part, both CJ and Vic must shoot the enemies pursuing them while Sweet and Lance drive the car that they are using (Feltzer and Stinger).
- This is the last riding shotgun mission in-game.
- A statue of Big Smoke's beta appearance can be seen inside the Crack Palace during the mission.
- Only in this mission the player can see prostitutes in the 3rd floor of the crack palace. They can be killed by Carl, although this doesn't affect the mission nor the game.
- If CJ shoots at the officer on the back of the fire truck during the chase, he will not fall off the truck and hit the ground. Instead, he will be hanging by his feet on the fire truck's ladder.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has announced the creation of the MIT/MTL Center for Graphene Devices and Systems (MIT-CG). This interdepartmental center, part of the Microsystems Technology Laboratories (MTL), brings together MIT researchers and industrial partners to advance the science and engineering of graphene-based technologies.
Graphene, a form of pure carbon arranged in an hexagonal lattice just one atom thick, has generated great excitement among researchers worldwide for its unique properties that stand to revolutionize materials science and electronics. Until recently, most studies have focused on the basic physical properties of graphene. Work at the new Center will go beyond this research, exploring advanced technologies and strategies that will lead to graphene-based materials, devices and systems for a variety of applications, including graphene-enabled systems for energy generation, smart fabrics and materials, radio-frequency communications, and sensing, to name a few.
"The unique structure and properties of graphene have the potential to impact numerous industries," says Tomas Palacios, the Emanuel E. Landsman Career Development Associate Professor of Electronics at MIT's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and first Director of the MIT-CG. "The new MIT/MTL Center for Graphene Devices and Systems will be a driving force in exploring the numerous applications for graphene, and will create a vision for the future of graphene-enabled systems."
This Center benefits from very close collaboration with industrial partners. According to Michael Strano, Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Co-director of the Center. "This academic-industrial partnership is essential to the advancement of both fundamental graphene science, and of emerging technological applications. One of the main goals of the Center is to create an environment that fosters this collaboration."
The Center coordinates the work of the more than 15 MIT research groups working on graphene, and leverages several existing collaborative efforts in graphene science that exist on campus, including a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative grant (MURI) from the Office of Naval Research with Harvard and Boston University, as well as a regular Boston-Area CarbOn Nanoscience (BACON) Meeting.
The kick-off meeting of the MIT/MTL Center for Graphene Devices and Systems was held at MIT on July 28th, 2011 with important participation from industry and government agencies.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb's cross country teams will not be going to Fayetteville, Ark., for the Oct. 15 Chile Pepper Festival as originally scheduled, head coach Bill Taylor announced Tuesday. Instead, Lipscomb will participate in the Evansville Invitational that same weekend, beginning at 11 a.m.
"We are making a change that best serves the needs of our athletes at this point in the season," said Taylor.
The B-squads for both the men and women's teams will be in attendance at this meet; the top runners for the men and women will get an extra week of rest before the conference championships.
This will be Lipscomb's final meet prior to the Atlantic Sun Cross Country Championships held Oct. 29 on the Vaughn's Gap Course at Percy Warner Park.
Check lipscombsports.com for all the Lipscomb cross country and track and field news, and be sure to like us on Facebook (Lipscomb University: Track & Field).
Editor's Note: Initially, it was reported the full women's squad would be in attendance; the A-squad will take the week off.

Time doesn't have the same appeal for everyone. This is why there are a countless number of timepiece providers all over the world. From different price points to a plethora of distinctive complications, there is a watch out there for everyone. We would like to introduce you to another company that should be on your radar, Ressence. Simple in design (how we prefer things), Ressence timepieces are stripped to the basics. Owner, Benoit Mintiens, conversed with us about the meaning of the name, watch complications, watchbands, and more.
The company was created in 2010, but the concept dates back to 2006. The trigger was a friend in the diamond business that asked me to design a watch for him. The project never saw the light, but I was left beaten by the watch virus.
What does Ressence mean?
It is a neologism combining renaissance and essence. It stands for the rebirth of what is essential to a watch, to display time. I wanted to use the cognitive patterns learned from childhood to read time with hand, but go forward by leaving the archaic hands behind and replace them by a mechanical screen using graphical hands.
What timepiece complications does the company specialize in?
Ressence invented and developed its own complication (patent). The system (Ressence time-module) is pulled by a highly modified and simplified automatic caliber. The complication is auto-generating the movement of all the hands staring from the rotation of the minutes. All hands and indexes are synchronized.
How much time and craftsmanship goes into a Ressence timepiece?
It takes about 9 months between the start of production and the delivery of a watch. This doesn't mean you have to wait a pregnancy to order a watch. Most components have been made and are waiting to be assembled. Assembling a watch takes 1 week plus 2 weeks of monitoring.
Does the Ressence man prefer a metal watchband or a leather one?
The metal band is not very popular with Ressence owners. It is also very rare that people ask for it. I designed a band but never put it into production because of poor demand. On the opposite, the leathers chosen are very qualitative. Vegetal tanned with a high greasiness level, they are natural and free of chemical additives. The bracelets are specific Ressence designs, handmade in Belgium.
Where does the team behind Ressence gain inspiration when it's time to design new products?
Latitude:51.218638, Longitude:4.404917
This is an ever-going-on process. It is a mindset: be open-minded and try to capture and translate signals into a concept that fits the brand. At one point, you need to put everything on paper, make all the little impulses coherent with each other, and create synergies between them.
Where can Ressence timepieces be purchased?
First, take a look at the website where all retail points are indicated. In case no retail point is available in your country, the best thing to do is send an e-mail to Ressence to find a solution. For some countries I have people representing the brand without having retail points.

It's been five months since the official launch of SpanglishBaby. In this time we've come to the realization that, although it's not the one Ana and I use, the majority of you out there are raising your kiddos bilingual by means of the One Parent-One Language (OPOL) method.
We first started noticing the trend from the questions and comments we got from all our readers and then through the answers to a survey we recently conducted. Out of the responses we got to the question: "I use this method to teach my child a second language…" the overwhelming one was OPOL. In other words, according to the results, 44% of those of you who participated in the poll use the OPOL method.
Truth be told, the results come as no surprise. According to Raising a Bilingual Child by Barbara Zurer Pearson, one of our very own experts, "In 1902, in the first printed advice that we are aware of on how to raise a bilingual child, (Maurice) Grammont proposed OPOL. It has continued to be the favored strategy in many parts of the world, especially in Europe and Canada."
Even though we've touched upon this subject before, Ana and I figured it was time to give a more in-depth look at this ever-so-popular method of accomplishing the task of raising bilingual kids. Thus, we'll be dedicating this whole week to the OPOL method including our regular Ask an Expert series – which is moving to Wednesday this week only – and a Your Story guest post by someone who has been doing the OPOL thing successfully for the last four years.
Today, we'll start with a look at some of the top concerns of parents using this method. You probably noticed that for the past few weeks, we've had an on-going poll regarding this subject. Thanks to all who participated and in case you didn't get a chance to look at the results yourself, here's a snapshot:
The results actually confirmed what we'd kind of deduced all along. Most of you using this method worry that your children are not getting enough of the minority language which, for those of us living in the U.S., means anything but English. Obviously, this makes a lot of sense since we are surrounded by English yet many of us don't have the luxury to live in "bilingual communities" where Spanish – to use the most common minority language as an example – is spoken and heard as much as English, i.e. Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, you get the point…
This issue is perfectly reflected in this comment from Maria that we got in our Forums: "For us the biggest challenge is getting enough minority language input. Although I am home with the kids (Spanish ml) they still hear lots of English, including most conversations between my husband and myself since his Spanish is not fluent and so us speaking English is often most practical. Plus in general despite my constant efforts to search out Spanish in any/every way shape and form, the community still surrounds us with English and I feel like its a constant effort to keep Spanish in the mix."
We've written extensively about how to deal with this concern and you can find that information in this Ask an Expert post, in this one about boosting the minority language and in this post about creative activities to help your children keep up with their Spanish.
What to Expect:
Following is a taste of what we have prepared for our OPOL Week. We hope you find it useful and, as usual, we encourage you to leave comments, questions or to just share your own experiences. Remember this is the best way for all of us to learn!
- TUESDAY – Pediatrician and author of the book, 7 Steps to Raising a Bilingual Child, Dr. Naomi Steiner, will share with us why she believes the OPOL method is the way to go when raising a bilingual child.
- WEDNESDAY – Our weekly Ask an Expert series with an OPOL-specific question answered by Suzanne Barron-Hauwaert, author of Language Strategies for Bilingual Families – The One Parent-One Language Approach and the blog: Notes from the OPOL Family.
- THURSDAY - A guest post from one of our loyal readers – and the founder of my bilingual playgroup. Many of you who are just starting your bilingual journey have asked if the OPOL method actually works. This post will be proof that it does!
- FRIDAY - A list of resources/articles/websites compiled specifically for those of you using or thinking about using the OPOL method.
***And, as if all this weren't enough, we will be giving away a copy of Dr. Steiner's 7 Steps to Raising a Bilingual Child, every single day this week, starting today
Before signing off, I want to say kudos to all of you who are raising your children bilingual using the OPOL method. Ana and I are both in awe of your discipline and commitment and we know your kids will eventually be forever grateful for your efforts. Keep up the awesome work – you inspire us all!
This giveaway is now closed. You can still enter for another chance every day this week. Congratulations to our winner: NATHALIE SIMMONS JORGE!
To win a copy of Dr. Naomi Steiner's book:
All you have to do is leave us a comment sharing something about the OPOL method, whether it be a question, a concern, a challenge, a tip, pros/cons, an anecdote, anything that will add to the online conversation about this popular method.
We'll be giving away one copy per day and you can enter once per day. Today's giveaway will end tonight at midnight EST. Make sure you're subscribed either by RSS or email so you don't miss out on this highly informative and useful OPOL week.

Launchpad Enhanced issues
June 21st, 2013
The SWGEmu Staff
ISSUE (kinda) RESOLVED!!! - keep reading...
It seems that swgemu_login.cfg file that LPE downloads has rolled back to a file that is 5 years old lol.
You will need to change the server address in swgemu_login.cfg (located in C:\SWGEmu folder) from chicago2.swgemu.com to login.swgemu.com
Launchpad Enhanced issues 07/21/13
Seems that LPE host is having some issues. At this point I have no info about what caused it and how long it is going to be offline.
- Go to C:\SWGEmu folder (default location) and locate swgemu.exe and use it to launch the game, it will bypass LPE
- If there is no segemu.exe in SWGEmu folder download this: https://www.swgemu.com/swgemu/downloa...onfigFiles.rar and extract everything except swgemu_login.cfg in to your C:\SWGEmu folder (replace the existing files). Then use swgemu.exe to run the game.
- Those that had a working SWGEmu client before LPE issues started but they screwed it up by reinstalling LPE or whatever can try System restore option in Windows. Roll back your system a day or two and you'll have a working SWGEmu client. Then just use SWGEmu.exe to run the game.
- Those that are installing SWGEmu for the first time will have to wait for LPE to start working again.

RE: Good news from the Battleground Poll by Bruce Walker (October 16, 2006)
Thank you for this article. Amidst all the hyperventilation about this year's election, as Dr. Henry Lee said during the OJ trial, "Something wrong." Some things weren't adding up to me, to wit:
1) Only two short years ago, President Bush won with about 52% percent of the vote, while Kerry won with about 48%. I would wager that many, many people voted for Kerry because they hated Bush, but I seriously doubt many people voted for Bush because they hated Kerry. Which suggest to me that of the two, the more conservative side had more solid support than the liberal side. If people really wanted the liberal candidate, they had one. But they didn't take it - why?
2) While certainly downplayed in the media, the economy is pretty dang good. Someone has to be working, if about 95% of Americans are. Someone has to be propelling the stock market to new heights (and yes, Mr. Democratic Talking Head - Wall Street isn't Main Street - Main Street supports Wall Street, considering how many average Americans are in the market.) someone has to be pushing consumer confidence up. Someone has to happy their taxes are lower. So I am to believe, that with a good economy, voters are suddenly going to vote to turn it off?
3) I've noticed about politics that everyone loves to trash "politicians" - but in the end, it tends to be that they don't mind their own guy so much - it's the other guy that they want gone. And if political scandal was that effective, why didn't the Duke Cunningham seat go to a Democrat? Why did Ray Nagin get reelected?
4) So far, NO Democrat has explained to me how my being unhappy or disappointed in some things that Bush et al have done is going to suddenly make me be for things like national health care, higher taxes, a tepid response to terrorism. and granting illegal aliens voting status. Do they really believe that because Mark Foley was a jerk, I'm suddenly going to embrace Nancy Pelosi as Speaker, and an end to my tax cuts?
5) I am very leery of most polls. Polls are nothing more than emotionally based points in time. I don't trust who conducts the poll, I don't trust how the sample is gather and of whom it consists, and I don't trust how questions are written. I don't trust that people who answer polls are telling the truth. I don't trust the conclusion the polls arrive at, for example: A common poll question is, "Do you think the country is headed in the right direction?" Well, I'd have to answer no - however, Democrats take that to mean that I want it going in their direction, which I do not.
6) Am I to believe there are no Democrats whose seats are in danger? That only the contested races are those where the GOP is being challenged? That while some GOP seats may be lost, none will be offset by any GOP wins?
My larger point is, of course, that we know the media is agenda driven and prone to bias. We know they are trying to create an impression to discourage certain voters from voting (namely, conservative GOP voters who are traditionally better at voting than the "Vote or Die" crowd). And we have the so-called "new media" with millions of listeners, to encourage us. (If America really wanted Air America's message, it would seem that their filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection is an odd public endorsement.)
The fat lady may be warming up. I just wouldn't be so sure yet she's going to be warbling for our side.

TUSCALOOSA | Ice-cold rain may have reduced the number of people attending the Kwanzaa program at Bailey Tabernacle CME Church on Friday, but the inclement weather didn't shut it down.
TUSCALOOSA | Ice-cold rain may have reduced the number of people attending the Kwanzaa program at Bailey Tabernacle CME Church on Friday, but the inclement weather didn't shut it down.
About 100 people came to the annual event — down from about 300 last year. They were dressed in African clothing and they carried in pots filled with traditional African and black American food.
With permission to start being granted by the church's elders — an African custom — the celebration kicked off with songs, prayer, storytelling, the meaning of Kwanzaa and a feast.
Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits" in Swahili, is a weeklong interfaith, cultural holiday created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, a professor and chairman of black studies at California State University in Long Beach, Calif. According to the official Kwanzaa website, Karenga created Kwanzaa because he wanted to give black Americans the opportunity to celebrate their own history and culture rather than only celebrating existing mainstream holidays.
Kwanzaa began on Dec. 26 and ends Tuesday. On each of the seven days of Kwanzaa, a candle is lit and one of its seven principles is meditated on.
The seven principles and their meanings are:
- Umoja — unity.
- Kujichaguila — self-�determination.
- Ujima — collective work and responsibility.
- Ujamaa — cooperative economics.
- Nia — purpose.
- Kuumba — creativity.
- Imani — faith.
At Bailey's, a member from seven of the nine black intercollegiate Greek letter fraternities and sororities talked about what each of the principles meant to them.
The keynote speaker at the celebration was Kenyan native Kagendo Mutua McHargh. McHargh said Kwanzaa isn't celebrated as a holiday in Africa. She said its principles are lived 365 days a year.
"It's easy to come together and celebrate Kwanzaa in seven days, but what about the other 358 days?" McHargh said. "What about the times when no one is watching?"
McHargh said people need to become a village and help each other by giving what they can. She said there is infinite power that people can harness when they bless others by giving monetarily or with time.
"One resource we all have is time," she said. "We all have 24 hours. Doing these things without an audience is really the test of Kwanzaa."
The church's pastor, the Rev. Willie Clyde Jones, closed the celebration with a reminder of the challenges black Americans face today and a request that people examine themselves and do for others.
"We are living in some terrible times as a people," Jones said. "I never heard of a president as disrespected as ours. What Kwanzaa means to me is it's time for us to re-examine ourselves."
Jones said those who "have the nerve to think they've made it" need to remember that someone helped them along the way. He said black people need to come together and help each other no matter how successful or downtrodden they get.
"What happens to our people when we go astray?" he said. "Jesus said what you do for the least of these you do for me. Some of the villages are broken. We can't give up on our children."
Jones thanked local civil rights attorney Sue Thompson for introducing Kwanzaa to Bailey Tabernacle more than 20 years ago.

(CBS News) Vice President Biden has been tasked with coming up with recommendations for curbing gun violence. On Thursday he met with the National Rifle Association and gun rights groups.
There were no illusions on either side about what would come from these meetings, but for pure political and public relations reasons, neither side could ignore the other. They certainly didn't -- and deep differences remain.
NRA "disappointed" in Biden gun meeting
Biden: Support for "universal background checks"
Ga. mom who shot intruder inspires gun rights advocates
The meeting lasted more than ninety minutes. Afterward, CBS News spoke with NRA President David Keene, who did not attend the session with Biden.
He described the conversation as one-sided.
"We were disappointed in a sense, because prior to the meeting, they made a number of statements from the White House that they haven't made up their mind," Keene said. "But at the meeting, the vice president made it clear that in terms of firearms, they have made up their mind."
Keene said the NRA will take its lobbying might and growing membership list to Congress to fight every item on Biden's agenda, from a reinstated assault weapons ban to a universal criminal and mental health background check and bans on high capacity ammunition magazines. Since the Newtown shooting Dec. 17, the NRA has attracted 100,000 new members, bringing its total membership count to 4.2 million.
The group also opposes increased federal research into gun violence, another Biden priority.
"I think there are a lot of people who would like to completely gut the second amendment, and to deprive Americans of the rights that they enjoy under the Second Amendment," Keene said. "Are they going to be able to do that? I don't think so."
In a separate meeting with hunters and conservation groups, Biden appealed for consensus.
"Even if what we do only saves one life, it makes sense," he said. "And I think we can do a great deal without in any way imposing on or impinging on the rights of the Second Amendment, that the Second Amendment guarantees."
The NRA says it knows after the Newtown shooting, they're facing a gun control debate unlike any in its history. They may be more politically isolated than they were in 1994 when the assault weapons ban was first pushed tenaciously through Congress by then-Sen. Joe Biden.

One of these features is document type definitions. For XML, there are a variety of formats (DTD, XML Schema, RELAX NG, etc.) for specifying exactly what your XML data looks like: what are the tag names, possible attributes, etc. JSON is a lot more loosey-goosey here.
Okay, that's not entirely true: there is JSON Schema. I've never known anyone to use it, but it's there. It's awfully verbose, though. (So are the definitional formats for XML, but it's XML — you expect it!)
I was thinking about this the other day, and I realized that there is actually a great definitional format for JSON already in existence: TypeScript! If you haven't heard of it, TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript which introduces optional strict typing. And since JSON is a subset of JavaScript, TypeScript is applicable to JSON as well.
One of the great features of TypeScript is that interface implementation is implicit. In Java or ActionScript, you have to specifically say that a type "implements MyInterface". In TypeScript, if it fits, it fits. For example:
length: number;
function isEmpty(list: List): bool
return list.length === 0;
console.log(isEmpty("")); // true
console.log(isEmpty("foo")); // false
console.log(isEmpty({ length: 0 })); // true
console.log(isEmpty({ length: 3 })); // false
console.log(isEmpty({ size: 1})); // Compiler error!
console.log(isEmpty({ length: 3 })); // false
console.log(isEmpty({ size: 1})); // Compiler error!
(Note: for some reason that I can't fathom, isEmpty() doesn't work on arrays. Well, TypeScript is still in development — version 0.8.2 right now. Update: I filed this as a bug.)
Note that you can use interfaces even on plain objects. So of course you can use it to describe a JSON format. Here's an example from a project I hope to release before too long:interface Model
uid: string;
interface Name extends Model
citationStart?: number;
html?: string;
namebankID?: string;
root?: bool;
string?: string;
type?: string;
uri?: string;
votes?: number;
interface Taxon
canonicalName?: Name;
illustrated?: bool;
names?: Name[];
Now, for example, I can declare that an API search method will return data as an array of Taxon objects (Taxon[]). And look how compact and readable it is!
Note that there is one drawback here: there is no way to enforce this at run-time. JSON Schema might be a better choice if that's what you need. But for compile-time checking and documentation, it's a pretty great tool.

When he was 19 Thornton Utz left Memphis for Chicago to learn the business of illustration. he landed a job at the Stevens-Gross studio on Chicago's near North Side, then jumped to Barry Stephens Studios. If you see a bit of a Gil Elvgren pin-up quality in the piece below, that might be some of Utz's Chicago-style influence showing through.
In 1946 Utz moved his young family to Westport Connecticut, home to that famous colony of illustrators which included Al Parker and Austin Briggs. I wonder if exposure to those artists also rubbed off on Utz... there is a kind of Briggs-ish feeling to Utz's sensitive line drawings below, isn't there?
In 1951 the Utz family again moved - this time to Sarasota, Florida. You may think, as I did, that such a distance during those days might cause problems communicating with clients (or even just acquiring assignments, since most of the national publications and advertisers were located in New York and Chicago). But Utz had no problems retaining as much work as he could handle.
"Living in Florida is no disadvantage," he said. "I'm only four hours from New York or Chicago by plane; and there have been a few times when I've flown up to New York and back in one day to pick up a job or shoot photographs. My paintings are shipped by air express at 9:00 pm and they reach New York by 10:00 am the following day. There are times when clients come to Sarasota where, in a relaxed atmosphere, we can discuss the whole picture problem - and wind up with a swim!"

It's all about the hair. In the long-awaited Season 4 premiere of The Game, now born again on BET, the surest way to track any particular character's progress over the last two years is through the tracks on their head.
Girl Melanie (Tia Mowry) has gone from "Med School" to "Mrs." So good riddance to the funky asymmetrical bob she rocked by the end of Season 3. The "side part under" wasn't just your typical cinematic cliché: Girl moves in with boy, boy cheats with B-list pop star, girl gets scissor happy.
More than that, the short do was one of Melanie's first real moves toward becoming truly confident in who she was as a woman. In the Season 3 episode "Side-Part, Under," a philosophical patient in a platinum wig told Melanie that her hair screamed, "Please don't look at me; I'm too scared to change my hairstyle, let alone live."
In that episode, Melanie/Med School finally matched her attitude with her style. None of that is to say that women with long hair aren't sure of themselves, but for Melanie, chopping off her hair had the opposite effect that it had on Samson.
The Game premiered on the CW in 2006 but was canceled after three seasons as the network focused on hour-long single-camera dramas like Gossip Girl and 90210. Fans of the show signed petitions, sent e-mails and clogged message boards as part of "The Change 'The Game' Campaign," started by the cast on Youtube, to keep the show on the air. BET brought the show back after two years with the original cast and writing team.
The show, created by Mara Brock Akil of Girlfriends, is something like a fictional version of what reality-TV shows like Football Wives and Basketball Wives are supposed to be: an inside look at the women behind the players on the field. It focuses primarily on Melanie, who gave up Johns Hopkins medical school to move to San Diego with her then-boyfriend, Derwin (Pooch Hall).
As the newest member of the Sunbeams, the San Diego Sabers' first ladies' club, Melanie meets Tasha (Wendy Raquel Robinson) — "momager" of the team's flashy quarterback, Malik (Hosea Chanchez) — and Kelly (Brittany Daniel), wife of veteran wide receiver and tightwad Jason (Coby Bell). Hopped up on heaping glasses of wine, Melanie, Kelly and Tasha have fueled each other's growth from med school to marriage, from being controlled to taking control.
Which brings us back to Season 4. Now that Melanie's locks are back to Rapunzel proportions, her confidence couldn't have shrunk more. "I'm a good person," she whines. "I chose to postpone my residency to be a good, supportive wife, to give my marriage a shot in this game."
As in, "How he gonna have a natural conk and both his parents come from a long lineage of naps?" a question posed by Melanie's friend Tasha, whose hair is also back to its back-grazing Season 1 length. Back then she had yet to find true love in the form of Rick (dramatic pause) Fox (playing himself) or closure with her superstar son's deadbeat dad. She was admittedly "bitter."
Now she seems less so — but definitely not better, either — especially with the introduction of Dante (BET VJ Terrence Jenkins) as her newfound jailbait. The hair is the same. So perhaps Tasha hasn't changed as much as longtime fans of the show had hoped.
This season Kelly has decided to cut her man right out of her hair. Kelly is now starring in a reality show called Ex Ballers' Wives, and like her new career, her new "Duran Duran" do reeks of desperation rather than independence. Much like her reverse mullet (prom queen in the front, punk in the back), Kelly seems more confused and lost than ever. And since when did her daughter Brittany get a kiddie perm?
A lot can change in two years. Hair comes, it goes; it gets glued and it gets chopped. But I had hoped that in the Season 4 premiere of The Game, the show's roots would peek out a little bit. Because in the end, the series was about relationships. Superstar Derwin, super-saver Jason and selfish Malik might as well be strangers. And it's going to take more than a bottle of Riesling to get Tasha and Kelly back together again after their big blowup.
For her part, Melanie should probably work toward having a real relationship with her stepson before she destroys her relationship with his father. Now, that would be some new growth worth seeing.

Spring Fling features social media experts, education
CONCORD, N.H.–The Professional Insurance Agents of New Hampshire Inc. will host its second-annual Spring Education Fling, May 18, 2010, at the Radisson Hotel, Manchester, N.H. In addition to continuing-education opportunities, PIANH members will hear from noted small-business marketing experts on harnessing the power of social media in their agencies.
"Whether agents like it or not, their clients are utilizing social media tools for their daily communications," said Stanley Pollack, CIC, PIANH president. "It is important for us to be aware of these trends and learn how to best incorporate them into our marketing plans."
Rene Fellows, ClearPoint Marketing Communications, William MacDonald and Len Printz, both of Siphon Marketing, join forces for an interactive keynote presentation, sharing the tools and strategies agencies can use to gain qualified leads, drive consumers to their website and how to successfully engage them using the power of social media. The trio will discuss the most popular tools in social media, such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, as well as some creative solutions that can bring a whole campaign together.
The event also features four education courses, giving attendees the opportunity to earn up to seven continuing-education units. The sessions, all approved for CEU in New Hampshire, include:
- 9 a.m.-12:30 pm.: Avoiding errors and omissions, taught by Steven Lyon, CPCU, CIC, CRM, AAI, ARM, AIS, CRIS; or Do you know what your clients are doing? (business in the home, renting recreational vehicles on vacation, etc.), instructed by Irene Morrill, CPCU, CIC, CRM, CRIS, CPIW, LIA, ARM.
- 2-5 p.m.: Projecting ethics to your competitive advantage, presented by Steven Lyon; or Commercial lines potpourri, led by Irene Morrill.
The daylong event also includes a networking continental breakfast, sponsor showcase and keynote luncheon. Additionally, each PIA member who attends will get a free education registration pass for the PIANH Fall Education Festival, a $130 value.
For more information on the Spring Education Fling, contact the Education Department at (800) 424-4244, or visit www.pia.org/EDU/extras/nhspringeducfling.shtml.

Depending on the course you are doing, full-time tuition is worth around £4,000 per year - so the Government is making a really big investment in your future.
That's because it knows that people like you, who are prepared to train, are vital for the future of the economy. Tuition is FREE (paid for by the Government) if you are 16-18, and for older people in certain circumstances. We may charge a small amount for things such as materials.
You can always give us a ring on 0121 694 5000 and ask for Student Services, or just pop in for a chat.Just see below for the answers to some of the most-asked questions.
College – what's in it for me?
Government research has proved that qualifications at all levels significantly increase your earning potential – and this increase in earnings is even greater if you are under 25. Not only that, but you are much more likely to get the job you want – even in the current economic climate.
What happens next?
When you contact us, you can talk to us about what sort of job you'd like to have. We're here to make sure you succeed.
You might want to go into employment at the end of your time with us, move on to further study or even go on to higher education. You might even want to earn while you work, in which case an Apprenticeship could be for you.
We have a team of really skilled and knowledgeable experts who talk to people just like you every day. You can ring for a chat or just pop in to one of our campuses around the city.
How is college different to school?
You won't need to wear a uniform for a start!When you come to college, you are a student, not a pupil. That means that you will be treated like an adult and given the chance to be yourself. You will know your lecturer by their first name – no more Miss or Sir! That's because we know you're here out of choice and you want to work hard and succeed. We do have something in common with school though – we will expect you to work as hard as we do in making your life a success. College will feel like the workplace – but a really great workplace where we hope you will make lots of friends.
At the same time, though, we appreciate you are still young and may need a little extra help and support during your time with us. So your tutors and other specialist staff will be on hand to help you with any extra assistance you may need.
I really struggled at school. Will college be different?
Yes. College is a special experience – designed for you. Whether you need to make progress in small steps or giant leaps, we can make sure you learn at the pace which suits you and puts you on the right path.
Our courses are classified in "levels". You may have heard of these before. Roughly-speaking, Level 3 is equivalent to A-level, Level 2 to GCSE and Level 1 is below GCSE. We will help you decide which level is right for you to start at – and we will see what help you may need with English and Maths along the way.
Oh, and just in case you are struggling with English or Maths, don't be too concerned. There are literally thousands of people who started like this and have been highly successful in life after going to college. It's just a matter of motivation.
There are no jobs – so what's the point of going to college?
Unemployment is high – and particularly among young people - but did you ever wonder what the difference is between those with jobs and those without? The difference is skills. Businesses have to be careful about how many people they employ, it's true. They also have to make sure those people they do take on can work well and be productive. We're here to make sure you have the skills they want!
What are the teachers like?
We call them lecturers or tutors – and they are different from the teachers you had at school.
First of all, just like in schools, they are really professional and have to gain teaching qualifications.
There's much more though. As well as being really good at teaching, they are also experts in the jobs they are training people for. They have actually worked in the job which they teach. In fact, many of them are still working in industry and teach as well. So you can be sure they really know what they're talking about. This means they not only teach you the course content but they are also able to give you that special insider knowledge about how things work in the real world. They pass on the kind of know-how that will give you the edge when you start applying for jobs.
Can I talk to someone about my personal circumstances?
If there are things which are personal to you, and which you think may affect your decision to come to college, just ring us and we will advise you. There may be medical concerns or perhaps something in your family life which you might think will make coming to college difficult. Perhaps you have been unhappy at school and feel nervous about what college will be like.
The chances are that we can help. Just get in touch.
I still have questions
Just ring the college direct and ask to speak to Student Services – our dedicated team of friendly experts who will answer any questions and concerns you may have. Or simply pop in to one of our campuses. We're here to help.

I couldn't even watch all of it. The only good part was where that guy turned gold and got all huge, and he was biting people in half and smearing them on his chest and stuff. Because you just don't see that every day. But many of your other selections are good, so you're forgiven. You ever see My Neighbor Totoro?

I'm reading comments (that is, Reasons) on Adam's petition. They're heartwarming. I recognize some of the names, but most I don't. That's good.
As a relatively new father of a girl, I wish for the world in which she will grow up to be as inclusive of people of all genders for the betterment of humankind.
I have two young daughters that Are skeptics and i want them to be comfortable and welcomed in skeptical communities.
It is bad enough that churches hold women as inferior to men. If the secular movement wishes to be a group representing people from all walks of life, it cannot tolerate those who dismiss, and worse, threaten potential allies.
I omitted names in case people don't want to be named here. But Crommunist won't mind.
The idea that atheism specifically must not make the changes and accommodations of underrepresented groups that EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY IN THE WORLD is making is, frankly, ridiculous. The only people who would be opposed to making improvements are people who believe that this community is perfect (i.e., people who have a 'just friends' relationship with reality).
Ed Brayton won't mind.
I support this petition because the entire atheist/secular community needs to stand up and condemn these vile attacks on those trying to bring attention to a real problem. There is a serious conversation to be had on how to best increase diversity in our communities, but that conversation cannot take place with those who scream "witch hunt" and "atheist cult" and "you all just hate men" and other hyperbolic nonsense at those who are trying to affect change. Still less can it be had with those who deride those women who have rightly spoken out on this issue as "bitches" or "professional victims." And it certainly can't be had by those who think the right response is to publish the addresses of those women, or who send rape and death threats to them. It's time that we all took a strong stand against such behavior in our communities.
EllenBeth won't mind.
As the President of a Humanist organization and a feminist that has been on the receiving end of a sustained campaign of vicious harassment simply because I had the audacity to speak up, it is imperative that we stand as a community against this behavior.
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, Al Stefanelli thinks it's all just too too funny.
Seattle, WA – In what is being described as a Googlesque move, seven male and two female well-known atheist leaders formed a consortium and purchased the rights to the "He Man Women Haters Club" from the producers of the Our Gang comedy series. They renamed it and issued free memberships by default to all two-hundred-million plus avowed atheists in the world.
The group consists of Dan Barker and Annie Laurie Gaylor, Co-presidents, Freedom from Religion Foundation, Ronald Lindsay, President, Center for Inquiry; Rebecca Hale, President, American Humanist Association; David Silverman, President, American Atheists; David Niose, President, Secular Coalition for America; August Brunsman, Executive Director, Secular Student Alliance; D.J. Grothe, President, James Randi Educational Foundation and Elisabeth Cornwell, Executive Director, Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science.
The consortium, known collectively as the "Bi-hemisphere International Trust for Collective Humanism" or B.I.T.C.H, has renamed the He-Man Women Haters Club. The new name they have chose is 'Atheists.'
Geddit? Bitch? Funny, right?
WCNN Interviewed David Silverman about this bold move. Silverman responded with,
"We've been long considering how we can exert enough pressure on atheists to convince them to embrace misogyny. The boys and I were sitting down for hours already over beers and chips, trying to find a good way to redefine atheism as a club for misogynists only, preferably white ones, but we're not picky.
"Then the girls came back from making us some sammiches, and joined the discussion. Annie suggested that we look at the way Google sort of gave everyone who has a gmail account a membership in Google+. Brilliant, right?
"Well, then Elizabeth suggested we try and buy the Little Rascals thing, you know, and then just rename it Atheism and then include all the atheists. We looked at each other, and suddenly realized this was a great idea."
The move was largely successful, mainly because most of the world's atheists are clueless about what goes on with atheism on the Internet. This didn't stop a small but persistent group of radical feminists on the Internet, who immediately opposed the idea. A petition was set up on Change.org in the form of a letter written by Adam Lee, an atheist blogger, who stated in the letter that atheism is being dominated by white males. Lee suggested that if this doesn't stop, it will usher in the zombie apocalypse. Lee, incidentally, is a white guy.
Amanda Marcotte, another white atheist, appealed to her social network to,
"Fight back against pressure to define atheism as a club only for misogynists"
Hahahaha – see? No I don't either, but I'm sure it's really really funny if you do see.
