Joe Biden's anti-integration past resurfaces amid possible 2020 bid
administrator | February 3, 2019 | Featured, News | No Comments
In the mid-1970s, a young Democratic senator from Delaware and self-declared liberal who would one day serve as the vice president to the first black president in US history emerged as one of the most vocal opponents of a main force in the integration in America's schools.
Former Vice President Joe Biden was once at the forefront of a movement against busing students in order to desegregate schools — even battling against Republican Sen. Ed Brooke, the only black senator at the time, over the issue — while he paid lip service to the desegregation movement.
Biden's record on racial justice continues to come up as he considers running for president in 2020, and his controversial campaign against busing — the practice of bringing white and black students out of their neighborhoods in order to integrate schools — could haunt him along the campaign trail if he throws his hat in the ring.

As he ran for the Senate in 1972, Biden was vocally in favor of integrating America's schools and supported busing.
However, his position on the issue shifted drastically after he won the election when he "discovered just how bitterly his white constituents opposed the method," according to a 2015 Politico article from Jason Sokol, an associate professor of history at the University of New Hampshire who covered the topic extensively in a book on the modern history of race and politics in the Northeast.
By 1973 and 1974, Biden attempted to tow a careful line by vocally supporting desegregation while voting in favor of anti-busing policies. As Sokol described it, Biden's political calculation was "clever but disingenuous."
"History has not been kind to the defenders of school busing. Indeed, busing was problematic — as it transported children long distances away from nearby schools," Sokol added. "But to say most whites objected to busing because it was inconvenient would be wrong. The truth is that many of them were not comfortable with the racial change that busing brought."
Busing was an inherently racially-charged issue, and Biden seemingly wanted to appear loyal to his liberal convictions while he simultaneously worked to appease his uproarious white constituents.
As opposition to busing became more extreme among his constituents, Biden "morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader — all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end," Sokol said. Biden played a vital role in pushing other liberals to oppose busing as well, according to Sokol.
In a 1975 — the same year Biden sided with conservatives by sponsoring an anti-busing amendment — the future vice president attempted to defend his anti-busing stance in an interview with NPR. At the time, Biden described busing as a "rejection of the whole movement of black pride."

"I think the concept of busing … that we are going to integrate people so that they all have the same access and they learn to grow up with one another and all the rest is a rejection of the whole movement of black pride, is a rejection of the entire black awareness concept where black is beautiful, black culture should be studied, and the cultural awareness of the importance of their own identity, their own individuality. And I think that's a healthy, solid proposal," Biden, who was 32 at the time, said.
In his 2007 autobiography, "Promises to Keep," Biden described the mid-70s debate over busing as a "liberal train wreck." Biden said that due to his position on the issue at the time some of his colleagues pulled him aside and asked "how and when 'the racists had gotten to me.'"
Biden did not immediately respond to a request for comment from INSIDER.

Like many politicians who've spent years in Washington, Biden has a mixed record many issues, but particularly on race relations and criminal justice.
Biden drafted the infamous 1994 crime bill, signed into law by former President Bill Clinton, that many have cited as one of the driving factors behind mass incarceration and the disproportionate imprisonment of people of color.
At a public appearance earlier this month, Biden said he's not "always been right" on criminal justice, but said he's "always tried." As Biden alluded to mistakes that were made back in his Senate days, some seemed to interpret this as an apology for the impact of policies he pushed for while in Congress.

Biden for the most part, however, has typically refused to apologize for the 1994 crime bill, and in a 2016 interview contended it "restored American cities."
During his time as a senator, Biden led the charge for Democrats in their war on crime and drugs.
In a 2015 interview with Time, Biden said, "I am not only the guy who did the crime bill and the drug czar, but I'm also the guy who spent years when I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee and chairman of [the Senate Foreign Relations Committee] trying to change drug policy relative to cocaine, for example, crack and powder."
Biden, throughout his career, has also strongly supported affirmative action, worked to expand voting rights, addressed workplace discrimination, introduced the Violence Against Women Act to help victims of domestic violence, and fought to expand the definition of hate crimes. During his time in the Obama administration, he worked alongside former President Barack Obama in championing criminal justice reform.
Biden, 76, in December said he was "most qualified person in the country to be president." If he runs in 2020, he'll face a crowded, diverse, and young group of candidates vying to be the next Democratic presidential nominee.
In late January, the former vice president told CNN he's in no hurry to make an announcement on 2020.
"I don't think there's any hurry to have to announce," Biden said at the time. "I don't have any particular timetable. I don't think there's any hurry, but there's a bigger hurry to decide just personally."

Mrs World Arrested For Pulling Mrs Sri Lankas Tiara Off Her Head
Mrs. World Arrested for Pulling Mrs. Sri Lanka's Tiara Off Her Head
by Mohid Moosani
Mohid Moosani
Last updated: 9 Apr, 2021
The newly crowned Mrs. Sri Lanka Pushpika De Silva's tiara was forcefully taken from her at the competition by Ms. World Caroline Jurie. She was arrested on Thursday for conducting this act at the competition.
According to People magazine, De Silva was allegedly wounded when Jurie took her crown off.
For this "criminal charge of the injustice," Jurie and the Model Chula Padmendra have been arrested, told BBC police spokesperson Ajith Rohana. Representatives of Jurie and Padmendra did not answer PEOPLE's requests for comments immediately.
The two of them were released on bail and, according to the Associated Press, are due to appear at court on 19 April.
Jurie spoke to the public.
"There is a rule that you have to be married and not divorced, so I am taking my first steps in saying that the crown goes to the first runner-up,"
She took the crown from the winner's head and put it up, pushing De Silva off the field.
De Silva accepted that she was separated but not divorced in a Facebook post on Monday, and she said that she had "my calf blessings" when Jurie "caught" her crown.
There is a rule that for Mrs. Srilanka, all participants must be married, while Jurie pulled off De Silva's crown. It was found that she wasn't divorced but only separated.
She wrote in a statement,
So, even though that symbolic crown has been snatched from my head, I would like to inform you that I have already taken the necessary legal action for the injustice and insult that has taken place.
After Jurie was arrested, Chandimal Jayasinghe, chief organizer of the pageant Ms. Sri Lanka, told the Colombo Gazette that all claims were made by Jurie, Padmendra, and De Silva before the charges were brought.
Jayasinghe also spoke to the BBC that De Silva was crowned again and that Jurie was expected to make a formal apology.
After the arrest of Jurie, Chandimal Jayasinghe, the chief organizer of Sri Lanka's pageant, told Colombo Gazette that he, Jurie, Padmendra, and De Silva had all given statements before the charges had been brought before Cinnamon Gardens Police Station.
The video above shows the incident very clearly as to what happened on the stage. Obviously, the previous Mrs. Sri Lanka did not have any authority to do so the most that could have been done was if she had any doubts, she could've turned to the authorities of the event.
It is reported that De Silva suffered from serious head injuries when the crown was pulled off her head by Jurie. Despite all sympathies for De Silva it is hard to believe that any injuries occurred. Maybe a scratch or two, but its hard to believe anything major happened.
De Silva also stated that the authorities weren't sleeping all this time and had complete information about her marital status. Otherwise, she wouldn't have got this far! Also, Jurie has no right to take such a step. If she had reservations, she could have complained or checked with the management of the event.
On Monday, De Silva was crowned again by the event organizers making it clear that she really is Mrs. Srilanka and she is not divorced, which makes her completely fit to compete in the contest.
De Silva wanted to dedicate this award to mothers like her, and the crown is for all these women and mothers who struggle and do everything possible to raise their children alone.

THOU ROMEO Releases Music Video To Roxy Music Cover 'Mother Of Pearl'
Published on 23 August 2021 at 15:59
Los Angeles is as far away from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne as you can get both figuratively and literally. Yet California based performer Thou Romeo has released his debut single, a cover of the Roxy Music classic 'Mother Of Pearl.
First appearing on the 1972 album 'Stranded', 'Mother Of Pearl' was written by Bryan Ferry and the album achieved Gold status in the UK.
This version is a synth-pop, glam-fueled reworking which while staying true to the core of the original, it introduces us to the sound of Thou Romeo, who has used 'Mother Of Pearl' as a platform for his debut release.
The accompanying music video (above) is a throwback to the early 1970's in its theatrical, almost New-Romantic approach. Directed by John Charter, the music video is something else - intriguing, intelligent and altogether of a certain time and place.
Thou Romeo is a solo artist and his influences are very British - Depeche Mode, David Bowie and T-Rex. His aesthetic is tremendous and engrossing, with hopefully more of the same on the way.
'Mother Of Pearl' is out now on all major streaming platforms.

Despite government-funded anti-drug campaigns directed specifically at teenagers, teen drug use remains an ongoing problem in the United States.
Reviewed here some of the most common drugs used by teenagers, warning signs of use and risk factors of abuse.
Alcohol remains the most commonly used and abused drug by American teenagers. In a 2009 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly a quarter of the surveyed teens had gotten drunk within the past month.
Signs of drunkenness or a hangover after being out with friends.
Trouble at school and changes in behavior or mood can also be warning signs of any kind of substance abuse, not just alcohol. They may also indicate that a teen is struggling with non-drug related problems. The key for parents is to follow up on these signs to determine the reason for their development.
According to the same CDC study, the illegal drugs used most often by teenagers are marijuana, hallucinogens (such as LSD and mushrooms) and ecstasy. Of these, marijuana is by far the most commonly used.
The teens most likely to develop a serious illegal drug habit are those with emotional problems. Parents can help reduce the likelihood that their teen will develop a drug problem by watching for signs of depression and low self esteem and addressing these problems early.
Inhalants are gaseous fumes that can be breathed in through the nose (called "sniffing") or through the mouth (called "huffing") in order to feel intoxicated. The sources of inhalants are usually common household substances, such as glue, nail polish remover and the propellants used in spray paint and whipped cream canisters.
Red eyes and runny nose.
Inhalants are easily accessible to teens, and drugs of this class are sometimes incorrectly perceived as harmless. With prolonged use, inhalants can damage nerve fibers, and they can also be addictive.
Teens may also take over-the-counter cold medications containing dextromethorphan in order to obtain a chemical high.
If parents have these substances in their medicine cabinet at home, they need to monitor the number of pills remaining and consider keeping them in a locked drawer or cabinet. Parents can also help by educating their teen on the dangers and addictive qualities of prescription drugs and dextromethorphan.

Assad joins forces with Libya's rogue general Haftar to combat 'Turkish aggression'

Date of publication: 2 March, 2020
Syrian authorities announced the formation of diplomatic relations with Libya's rogue General Khalifa Haftar on Sunday to combat Turkish aggression in both countries.
Syria, Libya, Haftar,
Damascus and parallel Libyan authorities opposed to the UN-recognised government in Tripoli agreed on Sunday to exchange diplomatic missions and confront Turkish "interference", state media said.
A delegation representing eastern Libyan strongman Khalifa Haftar met Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem in Damascus, state news agency SANA said.
"A memorandum of understanding was signed... for the reopening of diplomatic and consular missions," SANA said.
Libya has not had any representation in Damascus since 2012, following the fall and killing of dictator Muammar Qaddafi in an uprising.

Muallem said diplomatic missions would be reopened in Damascus and the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, controlled by Haftar's forces.
The two sides also pledged to coordinate to "confront Turkish interference and aggression against both countries".
Turkey backs the UN-recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) in the Libyan capital Tripoli, and has dispatched troops and pro-Turkish Syrian fighters to the North African country.
Haftar, backed by the Syrian regime's main ally Russia, has been battling since April to seize Tripoli from the GNA.
Syria's conflict, sparked by the brutal repression of anti-government protests in 2011, has killed more than 380,000 people and displaced millions.
The Arab League suspended Syria's membership in November 2011 as the death toll mounted.
Several regional powers suspended diplomatic ties with Damascus after the brutal suppression of protests by President Bashar al-Assad's regime.
Some have since restored those ties. In December 2018, the United Arab Emirates reopened its embassy, followed by Bahrain.
The agreement comes as tensions spiral between Syrian regime and Turkish forces in northwestern Syria, where bombardment has killed dozens of troops on each side.
On Sunday, at least 19 regime soldiers were killed in Turkish drone strikes targeting a military convoy in the Jabal Al-Zawiya area and a base near Maarat Al-Numan city, a war monitor reported.
That came after Turkish forces "targeted" two Syrian regime planes over the embattled rebel bastion of Idlib in northwest Syria, just moments following an announced military operation dubbed "Operation Spring Shield".
"Following the heinous attack on 27 February in Idlib, operation 'Spring Shield' successfully continues," Turkish Defence Minister Hulusi Akar said in a televised speech.

"We don't have the desire or intention to clash with Russia," the minister added. Thirty-four Turkish troops have been killed in Syria since Thursday.
"Our intention is to stop the regime's massacres, and prevent... migration," he said.
"We expect Russia to stop the regime's attacks and to use their influence to ensure the regime withdraws to the borders of the Sochi agreement."
Turkey has 12 observation posts established in rebel-held Idlib following a 2018 deal between Ankara and Moscow signed in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
But the regime recently has pressed ahead with an assault, killing hundreds of civilians and forcing nearly a million to flee from their homes in the region.
Rebel-supporter Turkey and Damascus ally Russia previously worked closely to prevent a regime offensive in Idlib despite being on opposing sides of the nine-year war.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last month warned Damascus to get behind the agreed borders otherwise Ankara would use military force to push the regime back.

Ubisoft Reveals A Surprise New Game
Ubisoft revealed a surprise new game but was it a welcome one?
So, Ubisoft announced a new game, Tom Clancy's xDefiant, which is a 'punk rock mosh pit/ hero shooter' and… wait… what? That doesn't even sound remotely close to anything Tom Clancy… oh it's probably because of the classes and gear that is inspired by other Tom Clancy games.
During the trailer, I saw a character wearing Sam Fisher's iconic night vision goggles (Ah, Sam Fisher. Doomed to star in everyone else's game but his own).
Don't get me wrong, the game looks solid enough albeit a bit of an odd choice (which we will get to in a second) but it irks me that they put the Tom Clancy name, a name associated with stealth and espionage onto a fast-paced hero shooter that has more in common with the likes of Call of Duty and Apex Legends.
This looks a lot like those games. So much so, that in the comments of the video, people were calling it an Apex clone. Does the world really need another hero based first-person shooter? We have so many!
It's pretty much like the battle royale genre now. There are so many good contenders that the new games hardly provide anything new and soon enough all hype fizzles out. For example, look at Ubisoft's very own Hyper Scape, though it still has a player base, it has fallen leagues behind that of Apex Legends as players who tried it out within the first month or so just went back to their comfort zone.
I get the sense that the same thing may happen here. Call of Duty and Apex Legends players will try it out and will probably go back to those games where they feel more at home. Though there will be some that stick around, but looking at the game is doesn't really offer anything innovative. It's like I've already played this game before.
But hey, at least it isn't another battle royale.

Q: Are my unacknowledged kafka messages dropped due to network latency? I have rdkafka producer written the following way, where localhost:9095 is tunneled to a digital ocean server in Germany with a kafka broker, whereas i, the localhost, am in New York.
I am noticing that at around ~150 miliseconds of thread::sleep(Duration::from_millis(150)) the last few of my messages stop being acknowledged by the callback (messages 8 and 9 for example),as if they didn't arrive. I know they did because i see the Kafka topic.
I'm wondering if my guess is correct that it is solely the latency between NY and Germany that dictates how long the broker takes to respond or if there is some config max.response.wait.ms setting i can set for acknowledgements to arrive sooner.
Of course if i increase the sleep time to ~200ms and higher i can see each message logged loud and clear. If i decrease sleep to 50ms the producer drops before any messages are sent  and they never arrive to the topic... right?
 let producer :ThreadedProducer< ProducerLogger> =   ClientConfig::new()

Q: python to C conversion error python code
for b in range(4):
    for c in range(4):
        print myfunc(b/0x100000000, c*8)

c code
unsigned int b,c;
for(b=0;b<4;b++)
    for(c=0;c<4; c++)
    printf("%L\n", b/0x100000000);
    printf("%L\n" , myfunc(b/0x100000000, c*8));

I am getting an error saying:
error: integer constant is too large for "long" type at both printf statement in c code.
'myfunc' function returns a long.
This can be solved by defining 'b' a different type. I tried defining 'b' as 'long' and 'unsigned long' but no help.
Any pointers?

My bad...This is short version of problem
unsigned int b;
b = 1;
printf("%L", b/0x100000000L);

I am getting error and warnings:
error: integer constant is too large for "long" type
warning: conversion lacks type at end of format
warning: too many arguments for format

A: Your C code needs braces to create the scope that Python does by indentation, so it should look like this:
unsigned int b,c;
for(b=0;b<4;b++)
{
    for(c=0;c<4; c++)
    {
      printf("%L\n", b/0x100000000);
      printf("%L\n" , myfunc(b/0x100000000, c*8));
    }
}

A: Try long long. Python automatically uses number representation which fits your constants, but C does not. 0x100000000L simply does not fit in 32-bit unsigned int, unsigned long and so on. Also, read your C textbook on long long data type and working with it.

A: unsigned int b,c;
const unsigned long d = 0x100000000L; /* 33 bits may be too big for int */

for(b=0;b<4;b++) {
    for(c=0;c<4; c++) { /* use braces and indent consistently */
        printf("%ud\n", b/d); /* "ud" to print Unsigned int in Decimal */
        printf("%ld\n", myfunc(b/d, c*8));  /* "l" is another modifier for "d" */
    }
}


April 25, 2013, was a glorious blue spring day when all five living U.S. presidents gathered in unity to dedicate the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
George H.W. Bush, who'd been recently hospitalized, cheated death to honor his son.
Now, five years later — yes, it's really been five years — another group of worldly notables will convene at the Bush Center on the Southern Methodist University campus this week to dive deep into complex issues confronting us today.
The three-day Forum on Leadership is a capstone event designed to showcase the living, breathing, thought-provoking center George W. and Laura Bush envisioned when they set out to build theirs.
"We're hitting our stride," says the nation's 43rd president. "Laura and I both want this place to have a significant impact, not only on SMU and Dallas, but also on the country."
His wife of 40 years and two-term presidential partner nods in agreement.
SMU president R. Gerald Turner, the Bushes' landlord, says his high expectations for the symbiotic relationship have been exceeded by the deep personal involvement of the Bushes. "One of the greatest accomplishments of this university is to have their library here."
The Bushes give speeches but don't grant many interviews because they want to avoid bad-mouthing President Donald Trump and the machinations in Washington.
"We're not going to talk politics," the former president says at the outset, reiterating terms of the interview.
"One of the really beautiful things about our country is that the institution of president is more important than the occupant of the office," Bush says. "It's important for presidents to understand that and strengthen the institution. One way to weaken it is to be just another voice criticizing your successors.
"I didn't like it when I got criticized, therefore I feel it's really important not to. It's easy to do no matter who your successor is. But it sends a bad signal to the country."
And to the rest of the world?
What the Bushes do want to discuss is their happy return to Dallas, the synergistic relationship with SMU and the far-reaching, largely nonpartisan leadership work being done at the Bush Center — home to the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and the George W. Bush Institute.
Faculty concerns early on that the Bush library would be a propaganda outlet for conservative partisanship have been quelled.
"If you notice, it's not like we're training young Republicans," George Bush says. "We're training leaders apart from political party. People who can contribute."
Former President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush pose before a painting of the Grand Canyon by artist Adrian Martinez in the Presidential Reception Hall at the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
Our midmorning meeting begins in the intimate library of the third-floor private presidential reception hall. George — I'm using first names for sake of ease and not in disrespect — bounds into the room, thrusts out his hand for a hearty shake. Laura enters more reserved but with her signature quiet-but-effervescent smile and ladylike grip.
The Bushes, who are both 71, make you feel as if they have all the time in the world for you.
George puts people at ease with his folksy, often self-deprecating humor.
"Here's a great story. So I'm playing golf and the caddy says, 'I don't know if you know, but I'm Blue Dot.' It turns out, Blue Dot recently got married to Green Dot," Bush says, referring to the Dot Race characters at Texas Rangers games. "Romance in Dot Land. I just wrote him a congratulatory note."
He can also be disarmingly poignant.
He recounts a time in 2012 when he, Laura and their daughters, Barbara and Jenna, surrounded his dad in a Houston hospital, fearing that H.W. was on his deathbed.
"Having him there was an unbelievable experience for us.
"I'm glad the other presidents were there, too, of course. But his presence meant more than anything. It was a beautiful day. It was great."
You might think that presidential couples begin designing their libraries as soon as they take office. The Bushes didn't have that luxury.
"Shortly after we assumed office, we got attacked," says the former president. "That's where our mind was — defending the country and helping the nation heal."
The Bushes were midway into their second term before they got serious about the library.
In 2006, George called Don Evans, his former secretary of commerce, and asked him to work with Laura to find a site with three key criteria. It needed to be at a prominent Texas university with a strong alumni donor base to tap for money. And it needed to be in an urban environment.
Evans, now chairman of the Bush Foundation, zeroed in on a half-dozen contenders.
"SMU offered something that the others didn't," George says.
A 200-year lease with really, really favorable terms?
"Well, yeah, that," he chuckles.
But it's more important, he says, that SMU and Dallas are accessible to the world, which makes events like the upcoming leadership forum possible.
"We've got Jeff Bezos coming to speak. My buddy Bono is coming." They've been friends since Bush's White House days.
The former president delights sharing his connections with the student body and public.
"The Dalai Lama is a good friend of mine," he says. "We're both freedom advocates. In some people's minds, it's an unlikely friendship, but not in mine, and I don't think in his."
They also share a July 6 birth date.
His Holiness has spoken twice on campus, most recently in 2015 to a packed Moody Coliseum.
The 14th Dalai Lama visited the Bush Center in 2015. He's shown with former President George W. Bush Wednesday afternoon before speaking at Southern Methodist University.
One of the items from Pres. George W. Bush's tenure in the White House, now in the collection of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum.

Given to President and Mrs. Bush by the Dalai Lama when they met with him on November 9, 2005 in the private residence.
"Part of being a good participant in the community is to share our capacities to attract very interesting people who've got something to say," George says. "We do a lot of book reviews here for the public. We've had the guy from Saturday Night Live, Lorne Michaels, talking humor and politics."
SMU also had a leg up in that Laura is a proud alum, having earned her bachelor's degree in education from The Hilltop in 1968.
And the family has deep roots and longtime friends here. "This is where Barbara and Jenna went to elementary school," says Laura, referring to Preston Hollow Elementary.
Once the site was selected, an even bigger challenge was what to do with it.
"Just so you know, I was totally divorced from the process," George says. "I had a lot on my agenda like the economic meltdown. Laura put together a group of people who did a masterful job."
As the "project manager," Laura worked with the lead architect, Robert A.M. Stern✓, to come up with a building that would blend two visions.
"I knew Bob could do a traditional-looking building that Gerald Turner would approve of in red Georgian brick, but that would look forward," she says. "We wanted it to be a modern building. George was president during the first decade of the new century."
A job well done, says Turner. "I love to look at the Bush Center and see the compatibility. I didn't want steel and glass on this campus. I think Laura's happy with it, and I love it."
Any building that houses national archives has to be set back 100 feet from any street.
Laura saw that as her opportunity to transform the surrounding grounds with native trees, shrubs, grasses and flowers.
"You don't know this," George says, "but I am the proud owner with my partner of Lone Star Trees. We're tree farmers at our ranch in Crawford. We grow live oaks, red oaks, bur oaks, cedar elms. All these trees out here were grown on our tree farm."
The former president may not want to cast political aspersions, but he doesn't dodge critical issues, like trade among the U.S., Canada and Mexico, which is one of the institute's initiatives.
"It's very important for us to articulate why that relationship is important. For the short term: jobs. For the long term: competing with China, for example," he says. "It's particularly needed now to send a signal that this relationship is important for U.S. growth, as well as for growth for Mexico and Canada."
Immigration reform is another issue the Bush Institute is tackling.
"Good immigration policy will enable us to grow better," he says. "Look at here in the metroplex where there's a labor shortage. There are people willing to do work that Americans won't do.
"Some of it is symbolic. Standing next to two Mexican [former] citizens wearing Marine uniforms after they have been sworn in as U.S. citizens sends a pretty clear signal, I think, of the vitality of an immigrant presence in the United States.
"These are guys willing to wear the uniform of a United States Marine before being a citizen."
George and Laura consider the 9/11 exhibit the most important one in the center.
"It's powerful. It's very emotional. It should remind people that the human condition elsewhere matters to our national security," says George, who had his highest approval rating in the weeks that followed the terrorist tragedy.

Indian paintbrush and bluebonnets begin to bloom in the 15-acre Native Texas Park.
"It's like our Pearl Harbor that so affected our parents," says Laura. "Both George's dad and my dad enlisted after Pearl Harbor. But for us, it's just a date.
"That's how it's going to be soon for Sept. 11."
George also has a personal favorite piece: "It's the statue of my dad and me. It gives me great comfort to know that my dad and I will be standing side by side for eternity at the Bush 43 Library."
Sculptor Chas Fagan of Charlotte created the 8-foot bronze statues of former Presidents George W. Bush, left, and George H.W. Bush in the courtyard of the George W. Bush Presidential Center.
So what about that presidential number thing?
"It's my way of having fun with my dad. 'Oh here comes old 41.' And he'd say, 'Yeah, 43.' It stuck. Now I sign my paintings 43 instead of putting George W. Bush."
About twice every semester, George becomes a pop-in speaker at SMU.
The Secret Service won't let the instructor give advance notice. And frankly, he delights in springing his presence on students.
"The students just go bananas, as you can imagine when you have the 43rd president of the United States come in and just talk with them," says Turner. "Whatever class the president goes to and whatever the topic is, the faculty members always comment on what an amazing command of the topic that he has."
Shortly after his presidency, he agreed to talk to the SMU reporting class of Carolyn Barta, former longtime political writer for The Dallas Morning News.
"I looked at the kid and said, 'Ya know, you would have been me when I was in college.' I love going onto the college campus, particularly to sit down with the students."
The Bushes are most visible at SMU basketball games, where they are introduced with "Hail to the Chief" and invariably greeted with a standing ovation and students making the "W" symbol with their hands.
If there's a typical day for the Bushes, what does it look like?
Both start their mornings with exercise. He works out and rides either a stationary bike at home or the real deal on Dallas trails or at the ranch, where they go about once a month.
Does his Secret Service detail have to ride along?
"They don't have to. They get to," he retorts.
He gets in a round of golf with his buddies whenever he can.
Laura starts her day with yoga at her Preston Hollow home with a private instructor and two close friends: Pam Nelson, a Dallas artist Laura has known since they grew up together in Midland, and Jeanne Phillips, senior vice president of corporate affairs and international relations for Hunt Consolidated Inc. and a former economic adviser and U.S. ambassador in the George W. Bush administration.
"It's the one where you look like a pretzel when you get into the positions," George laughs.
"It's really about stretching," she says.
George and Laura are voracious readers, often sharing books with each other.
The best book he's read lately is Ron Chernow's book, Grant. "I liked it a lot," he says, and he and Laura also enjoyed reading A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles.
Laura adds one of her favorite authors: "Simon Sebag Montefiore, who wrote the big biography on Stalin but who's now writing these historical fiction [novels] that are great."

A White House State Dinner exhibit is seen in the George W. Bush Presidential Museum.
A White House Rose Garden exhibit is seen at the George W. Bush Presidential Museum.
The Presidential Reception Hall library is on the third floor of Bush Center.
Both have offices at the center for Bush foundation work and a private one in Preston Center for personal business, including money from speechmaking.
"My main topic is what's it like to be president," he says. "I'm an expert on the subject, as are Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. Jimmy Carter and Dad aren't giving many speeches now. Dad's giving none. I don't know about Jimmy. People are interested in the presidency."
Laura's topics are motivational and issues-driven: her Christian faith, education, global health and human rights.
She also has her job as former first lady. "I work with my staff either here or at the other office or they come to my house," she says. "There's a lot of past presidents' correspondence. A lot of people write to us for various reasons. We answer every single letter."
From the get-go, programming was viewed as essential to the center's success. Leadership development became its core.
"It's a good legacy to leave behind," says George, "to be a place where young Americans who want to contribute to their societies can learn leadership traits."
"And they're not only Americans," says Laura, who has created fellowship programs for women in Afghanistan, the Middle East and North Africa as well as the First Ladies Initiative that has engaged with more than 50 current and former first ladies around the globe.
Kenneth Hersh, CEO of the Bush Center, says the more he watches his longtime friends, the more impressed he is with their leadership.
"President Bush is truly a servant leader," he says. "Laura Bush leads with a steady, calm and a graceful yet firm manner. She is clear in focusing on what is most important."
Phillips agrees. "Laura is one of the few individuals who can go right to the heart of the situation, no matter how complex the problem, develop a strategy that is effective and lead others in executing that strategy," she says. "She is a big-picture person with perfect attention to details and an absolutely amazing friend."
"Laura is Laura no matter where she is," says Turner.
I asked Laura and George what kind of leader the other is.
"Laura is a leader, not through lecture but through action," George says. "She saw an opportunity to lead in literacy and in helping women realize the blessings of freedom and seized it.
"One of Laura's key roles after 9/11 was to comfort," he says. "And she did something no first lady's ever done. She spoke to the women of Afghanistan. She elbowed me out of the way of my radio address, and she gave it. And it had a big impact in Afghanistan to have a woman speaking to women."
Laura says George is a natural.
"One thing about George," Laura says, "he really does listen to other people. I don't mean me, necessarily" -- to which George gives an oh-yes-I-do look -- "But in general, he listens to people and has a really compassionate nature. I'm much shyer than George is. George is much more outgoing, but it means he has friends everywhere. That is the kind of leadership people like -- somebody who obviously has your well-being in mind as well as the leader's."


Genotype to phenotype. Recurrent microdeletions at various sites in the human genome are known risk factors for a broad range of neurodevelopmental disorders including epilepsy, autism, intellectual disability and schizophrenia. Despite the fact that the pathogenic role is well established, the mechanisms linking the microdeletion to the neurodevelopmental phenotype remain obscure. In contrast to monogenic disorders, various genes are included and functional studies are difficult. Now, a recent paper in Cell examines the role of a specific microRNA that is dysregulated in the 22q11.2 microdeletion. The results are surprising.
The 22q11.2 microdeletion. The 22q11.2 microdeletion is one of the "neurodels", recurrent microdeletions, which occur at default breakpoints of the human genome and which have a broad phenotypic range. The classical phenotype of this microdeletion is DiGeorge syndrome, characterised by cardiac defects, immunodeficiency due to aplasia of the thymus and hypocalcemia. DiGeorge syndrome or its phenotypic variants are also referred to as velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS), Shprintzen syndrome, conotruncal anomaly face syndrome or Strong syndrome. Many patients with the 22q11.2 microdeletion have cognitive deficits. In addition, the 22q11.2 microdeletion has been found to be a strong risk factor for schizophrenia and it can be identified in some patients with Idiopathic Generalised Epilepsy, mainly Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy. An animal model of the 22q11.2 microdeletion shows abnormal neuronal morphology.
22q11.2 and microRNAs. In addition to the ~30,000 genes in the human genome, there are probably more than 1000 microRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNAs that can have a profound effect on gene expression. A single miRNA can usually affect the gene expression of multiple target genes. This is the reason that miRNA dysregulation is an interesting candidate mechanism for a broad range of disorders. For example, in epilepsy, downregulation of miRNA-134 has been shown to suppress seizures in animal models. In many known microdeletions, miRNAs are affected. Deletion of one copy of the miRNA with subsequent lower expression can have a wide-ranging effect.
miR-185. In their recent paper, Xu and colleagues investigate the role of microRNA-185 (miR-185), which is included in the 22q11.2 microdeletion. In a previous study, they were already able to show that some of the phenotypes in the 22q11.2 animal model, specifically altered neuronal morphology, could be traced back to this microRNA. They find that expression of miR-185 in the 22q11.2 animal model is actually much lower than would be expected. Instead of the ~50% reduction due to the lack of one copy, they only find an expression of ~20%. This is due to an interaction with DGCR8, another gene in the deletion region that also impacts on miR-185 transcription. The fact that miR-185 is disproportionally affected by the deletion lead Xu and colleagues to study this microRNA further.
Flowchart of the study by Xu et al. The authors investigated the role of miR-185 in the 22q11.2 microdeletion, a microRNA affected by the deletion to a higher extent than expected. One target of miR-185 is Mirta22, which is downregulated due to miR-185 expression. Upregulation of this gene, mimicking the effects of the 22q11.2 phenotype, recapitulates some of the phenotypes seen in the 22q11.2 mouse model.
2310044H10Rik, C19orf63. I agree that it might seem like a cat ran over my keyboard, but these combinations of letter and numbers are actually the symbol of the only gene that is robustly dysregulated in the 22q11.2 microdeletion mouse model. This gene is repressed by miR-185. In the 22q11.2 animal model, gene expression of 2310044H10Rik, C19orf63 is de-repressed, i.e. the gene has a higher expression than in wildtype animals. Given this relationship between miR-185 and this candidate gene, the authors name it Mirta22 (miRNA target of the 22q microdeletion). The human orthologue of Mirta22 is on chromosome 19. In a further series of experiments, the authors demonstrate that the abnormal neuronal morphology observed in the 22q11.2 animal model can also be seen when Mirta22 is overexpressed. Likewise, uncoupling Mirta22 expression from miR-185 by mutating the binding site within the 3'-UTR of Mirta22 rescues the phenotype. In summary, the authors provide a compelling case that Mirta22 is the main target of miR-185 and that upregulation of Mirta22 is responsible for some of the phenotypes seen in the 22q11.2 animal model. But what does Mirta22 do?
Mirta22. The protein encoded by the Mirta22 gene is purely neuronal and located in the Golgi apparatus. Given the widespread expression of this gene and the resulting altered neuronal morphology when this gene is upregulated, it may be assumed that a broad range of protein sorting and transport mechanisms may be slightly altered in the growing brain. This dysregulation then affects the overall morphology of the neurons.
Importance for EuroEPINOMICS. There is only limited evidence that mutations in miRNAs can be the primary cause for Mendelian disorders. Nevertheless, acknowledging the fact that exome sequencing has only uncovered a fraction of assumed genetic causes in patients, non-protein-coding elements in the human genome including regulatory elements and microRNAs will receive more attention in the years to come. The paper by Xu and colleagues provides a good example how the functional consequences of these microdeletions can be examined. There are also microRNAs within the 15q11.3 microdeletion (miR-211) and 16p13.11 microdeletion (miR-484) that might be worth examining.

In addition, however, each of these persons may be allotted by the great council of the tribe as an "accessory spouse," or _pirauru_, to some other individual. ad explecionem xx sol. (_f_) As for Shakspere–the man who emerged from and returned to Stratford somehow and somewhen–he while he lived was a nobody outside Stratford, and by the year 1622 must have been almost forgotten even there, except as a good sort of fellow who, having made money in London, had invested it in Stratford with essay my village fair a view to enjoying the congenial society of its artless natives. West has been tolerably successful in the delineation of the neutral character of the 'Man on the Black Horse;' but 'the two wretched emaciated figures' of a man and woman before him, 'absorbed in the feelings of their own particular misery,' are not likely to excite any sympathy in the beholders. We may conclude, then, that from the Mosaic age it was part of the Israelitic religion that the tribal, or national, god should be worshipped exclusively. How widely different from this is his own language! The facility with which all learned books were supplied from abroad quickened the growth of English learning, but restricted the English printers to printing and reprinting a few vernacular books of some literary pretensions and an endless stream of works of popular devotion and catch-penny trifles. XXV.—ATALANTA AND HIPPOMENES, OR GAIN. "Away the armed hosts your gates surrounding! Her manner was to lie in ambush and seize the travellers, and having them in her power, to propose to them certain dark and perplexed riddles, which it was thought she received from the Muses, and if her wretched captives could not solve and interpret these riddles, she, with great cruelty, fell upon them, in their hesitation and confusion, and tore them to pieces. But if he fight in a _gafol-gelda's_ house or in a _gebur's_, let him pay cxx scillings as wite, and to the gebur vi scillings. In fact, by varying the essentially arbitrary units in which x and y are respectively estimated, we may make the portion towards the vertex of the curve as obtuse or as acute as we please. Seek not proud riches, but such as thou mayest get justly, use soberly, distribute cheerfully, and leave contentedly; yet have no abstract nor friarly contempt of them, but distinguish, as Cicero saith well of Rabirius Posthumus: "In studio rei amplificand? j bo m?th fa?ur sinum, oc afl?r barn wi??r hana oc l?ghs ?y f?legh ther? [Sidenote: Further steps into freedom at stages of three generations.] Thus we seem to see the family of the leysing who had 'made his freedom ale' gradually growing up into a kindred in successive stages until in the ninth generation a kindred of leysings had been fully formed and might be very numerous.

Several others were acceptable, but for these two visitors he had the voice and gesture of joyful greeting. John's, following his duty, steals along the Harrow Road, by Tyburn tree, and passing it, in a sort of awful love-longing, and as if greeting the promised and foreordained, smilingly raises his hat. Fergusson tells us that, although Buddhism owed its establishment to Naga tribes, yet its supporters repressed the worship of the serpent, elevating tree-worship in its place.[184] It is difficult to understand how the Vaishnavas, who are worshippers of the female power,[185] and who hate the _lingam_, can yet so highly esteem the serpent which has indirectly, at least, reference to the male principle. What we want to do is to escape their influence, and this we are enabled to effect by taking their (arithmetical) average, provided only they are as often in excess as in defect.[4] For this purpose all that is necessary is that equal excesses and defects should be equally prevalent. 103. Cheerful songs and jigs and scherzos and most six-eight tunes go naturally with one step to each group of three notes, the swing of the body marking the weak stresses; more solemn themes, funereal folk-songs, the Unfinished Symphony, the last movement of the 'Pathetique,' and the Tristan prelude go naturally with three steps to a group of three notes; the Pilgrims' March takes six, with complicated cross-accents when the 'pulse of life' begins. Mysticism marked their religious thought, and sensuousness their religious worship. We noticed some of the features of the scenery; and a lofty hill opposite to us being scooped out into a bed of snow, with two ridges or promontories projecting (something like an arm-chair) on each side. We should see, finally, that the very idea of necessary determination here loses every shred of meaning, that there cannot be any question either of foreseeing the act before it is performed or of reasoning about the possibility of the contrary action once the deed is done, for to have all the conditions given is, in concrete duration, to place oneself at the very moment of the act and not to foresee it. Trouche, L'Evolution creatrice,_ (_Revue de Philos._ Nov. Spencer adds, that the habit having arisen, the resulting system of kinship in the female line would be strengthened by the practice of exogamy.[272] The defect of this explanation lies in its requiring uncertain paternity, and I shall show that the system of female kinship has not arisen from the simple association in thought of a child with its mother in preference to its father. THE METHOD OF PAYMENT OF GALANAS BETWEEN KINDREDS. 12. Hemy states that the Indians around Lake Huron had a similar superstition, and also designated the rattlesnake as their 'grandfather.' He also mentions instances in which offerings of tobacco were made to it, and its parental care solicited for the party performing the sacrifice. That which strikes the eye most on entering the room, and on which it dwells with the greatest admiration afterwards, are the figures of the two Jewish Doctors on the left of Solomon. The faces of Poussin want natural expression, as his figures want grace; but the back grounds of his historical compositions can scarcely be surpassed. It is divided into six parts. Konrad von Maurer's valuable paper written in 1878 and entitled 'Die Freigelassenen nach altnorwegischem Rechte.' [Sidenote: Grades of social rank in the churchyard.] Although tribal custom, viewed as we view it after the acceptance of Christianity, may not be altogether what it was originally in its actual working, yet still it is worth while to seek for the principles underlying the separating lines between social conditions as revealed in the laws. 303, _Portrait of Philip the Fourth of Spain_, by Velasquez, is purity and truth itself. Of the various means already discussed, two, as just remarked, are in common use. The clauses already quoted are sufficient to show a remarkable similarity of custom in the case of tribes once neighbours on the Baltic notwithstanding that they had been widely separated and that there was an interval of five or six centuries between the dates of their laws. 8.

It involved an estimate of what is sometimes called the 'detriment' of an error. But to reason backwards to the Lex Salica from the instances of its later use, given by Guerard in his sections on the subject, seems in this case, if I may venture to say so, to be a reversal of the right order of inference. The _fermier_ or vineyard-keeper, with his family, lived below, and we had six or seven rooms on a floor (furnished with every article or convenience that a London lodging affords) for thirty Napoleons for four months, or about thirty shillings a week. Certainly not all of them were regarded as theows or thralls. This was clearly not far from the Hall. The creature to be awakened and stirred to new life is more than a mere animal; it is a man, whose thinking powers are to be addressed, as well as his sensuous instincts and amatory passion. My receipts increase in proportion to the rarity of each particular kind of set, and each kind is observed or inferred to grow more rare in a certain definite but unlimited order. 3. Not a Madonna scrawled on the walls near Rome, not a baby-house figure of the Virgin, that is out of character and costume, or that is not imbued with an expression of resignation, benignity, and purity. The all-important feature of the revelation must have been the _make-up_ of the Masquers.

Magdalen of Pazzi, alone in the cloister-garden, rapturously catching up the roses to her face, and extolling Him who made them fair, signifies much: not only that she was dowered with the keen perception of beauty,–hardly that at all; but that she was at the apex of moral sanity, which has essay my village fair as much right to be passionate with beauty as the sun itself. Nevertheless, our artist's pictures, seen among standard works, have (to speak it plainly) something old-womanish about them.

It is not the original transgressor, but he who declares he is aggrieved, that is considered as guilty of a breach of good manners, and a disturber of the social compact.

Paul's that it is a talking dome, despite the ironic accident of the whispering gallery in the interior. Those of his portraits which we have seen are not in the first rank. In our own days, men who are justly called heroes, men like Stonewall Jackson and General Gordon, who win the love and reverence of all who come near them, are sure to believe in the most absurd dogmas. (XCV.) If any woman who has a paternal inheritance of her own, after marriage and pregnancy, is delivered of a boy, and she herself dies in childbirth, and the child remains alive long enough, _i.e._ for an hour, or so that it can open its eyes and see the roof and four walls of the house, and afterwards dies, its maternal inheritance then belongs to its father. Amen. While, viewed thus from a patriotic standpoint, the belief that the God of the world was Israel's Jahveh was a source of national pride, it also suggested a means of gratifying national vanity. 'In our mind's eye, Horatio!' What is the difference between this idea which we have brought away with us, and the picture on the wall? The idea that "marriage by capture" originated in the necessity for exogamy, arising from infanticide or some other practice, is more plausible, and such an explanation of the custom may be accepted where it is not universal in a tribe, but resorted to only in particular cases or under special conditions. But all this shall not governe me, for I will look meerly to what is just, and best for the honour and goode of England, and will be very steady in what I resolve: and if I be forsed to a warre, I shall be ready with as good ships and men as ever was seen, and leave the successe to God."

We are not yet old or decrepit, the earth is still firm under us, the wind yet blows, and there is a sun (we are told) still shining in the sky. Whenever some new substance is discovered or brought into more general use, those who have to deal with it must be familiar with such a state of things. The second or third, therefore, is the more likely meaning to be present to the mind, for in these cases Probability, if it could be practically made use of, would, at the time in question, be a means of drawing really important inferences. 70 of Ine's Laws, and it may be the double value of the wealh-theow to his lord. As money troubles thickened about him, Wendelin's colophons became less buoyant and interesting; but in 1473, when the transfer of his business to John of Cologne and Manthen of Gerresheim was impending, we find these verses in one of the huge law-books in which the early printers were so bold in investing their money—the "Lectura Bartoli de Saxoferrato super secunda parte Digesti Veteris": Finis. If we suppose that there are inhabitants, the question is at once resolved into a different and somewhat more intricate one. Dowse's surmise. [Sidenote: As science eliminates duration from the outer, philosophy must eliminate space from the inner world.] Now, these two elements, extensity and duration, science tears asunder when it undertakes the close study of external things. Is it because there is indeed in the division of men into ranks something original and warrantable, or is it because Christ who spoke to humankind could not but use human words? Put such a case as this. Possibly the following quotation from the work of an eminent critic may help to remedy the fault: _Miranda_ … It is making a hypothesis which may not be altogether consistent with fact, but which is forced upon us for the purpose of securing precision of statement and definition. At the tinkling of a village bell, all was in a moment silent, and the entrance of a little chapel was crowded with old and young, kneeling in postures of more or less earnest devotion. A gay captain in the Pope's Guard is selected by a lady as her _cavalier servente_ in the prime of life, and essay my village fair is seen digging in the garden of the family in a grey jacket and white hairs thirty years after. In 1476 again Schoeffer advertises that his edition of Justinian's Institutes was printed "in the noble city of Mainz am Rhein, the inventress and first perfectress of the printing art" ("In nobili urbe Maguncia Rheni, impressorie artis inuentrice elimatriceque prima"), while in the Clementine Constitutions of the same year he substitutes "alumnaque" for "elimatriceque," presumably in the sense of pupil or practiser, reverting subsequently to "elimatrice." In 1478 he once more varies the praises of Mainz by calling her "domicilium Minerve firmissimum," "the most stable home of Minerva." With this year 1478, which closes the period of Schoeffer's chief activity, we may bring our survey of his colophons to an end. I must after them!' As he comes to the rescue, Wiglaf remembers the honour done to him by Beowulf, who had already passed on to him the hereditary right of the chieftainship of the W?gmundings (2608). VOICE FROM BENEATH. When a single copy of Lucretius came into my hands I hesitated as to printing it, because it was difficult from a single copy to correct the slips due to the carelessness of the copyist. It may be said that we would not then be protected against deliberate frauds. Judaism may as well be said to have been founded by Moses as Christianity by Christ. But although the distinction is not by any means fundamental, it is nevertheless true that the practical treatment of such problems as those principally occurring in Inverse Probability, does correspond to a very serious source of ambiguity and perplexity. The Chaldean Noah was Khasisatra, whose vessel was saved during the Flood by the god Hea. A king that would not feel his crown too heavy for him, must wear it every day; but if he think it too light, he knoweth not of what metal it is made. We are informed (our quondam faith in you beshrews the day we learned to read!) that you are a timid dependent only of the sun, afraid to show yourself while he is on his peregrinations; that you slyly steal the garb of his splendor as he lays it aside, and blaze forthwith in your borrowed finery. It is begging the question to call it his _Grundstuck_ in the sense of a plot of land individually owned. Talma is at Lyons, and Mademoiselle Georges has retired _on a pique_ into the country, in the manner of some English actresses. Normal people can be perfectly satisfied, since normal people read only the last lines of the fable,–the moral; and the moral of _The Duel_ is most wholesome: Layevsky reforms and begins transcribing documents. But in the more gloomy and desert regions, the difference is less remarkable between summer and winter, except in the beginning of spring, when the summits of the hoary rocks are covered with snow, and the cleft[s] in their sides are filled with fragrant shrubs and flowers. That's something—we must wait for the rest! The writer knows of four in as many North Carolina regiments which in one battle were almost destroyed. THE THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE _The Theory of Knowledge as Apologetics_ The modern theory of knowledge, though it always consciously takes its rise from Kant, has in one respect quite disregarded the master's commandment. But the fifth generation seems to rise into a second grade of social rank and to attain the rank of '_leysings' sons_' with a _rett_ of eight ores. Before leaving Rome, we went to Tivoli, of which so much has been said. Spencer would, after the idea of special kinship through females had become established, affect more especially the persons bound together by a maternal tie. My fair village essay.

The market is extremely oversold as the chart below shows. The last time the market was more oversold was in August when S&P downgraded the US credit rating. We will be dropping negative readings for 8 out of the next 10 days and 5 out of the next 6. We are dropping a small negative reading today so its possible for us to get a little more oversold but this is extreme.
Facebook has raised its IPO size and its now possible it will be over $18 billion. That is a huge cash drain on the market and it is possible that this has been contributing to the weakness.
Great point on the FB IPO being a cash drain on the market, haven't really heard that being mentioned.
Thanks. I initially didnt think it would be that great of a cash drain because it was originally $10 billion and I figured it would create external demand. Now that its being upsized to $18 billion, they are likely allocating shares to anybody who wants them. Stock likely has to be sold to make room for these shares. On a side note, I would not be surprised if the FB shares trade lower.

Catholic priest leaves post after revelations of his Ku Klux Klan past
(JTA) — A Washington-area Catholic priest who left his post because of revelations of his Ku Klux Klan past never apologized or paid court-ordered restitution to two Jewish institutions for burning crosses on their property.
Bill Aitcheson, a priest at St. Leo the Great Catholic Church in Fairfax City, Virginia, acknowledged his college days in the KKK and said his Catholic faith saved him in an essay published a week ago in the Arlington Catholic Herald, the Washington Post reported.
He referenced the white supremacist rally earlier this month in Charlottesville, Virginia, writing "racists have polluted minds."
Aitcheson temporarily stepped down from his post within the Arlington Diocese at his own request following the publication of the essay, according to the Post.
The Washington Post reported that the essay glossed over Aitcheson's tenure in the KKK, saying he was a "violent ringleader" of the white supremacist group in Maryland while a student at the University of Maryland and served jail time for burning crosses, threatening to kill Coretta Scott King, and plotting to take down water systems, military installations and launch an armed revolution for which he had stockpiled bombs and guns.
The newspaper suggested that Aitcheson wrote his essay after Maria Santos Bier, a freelance journalist and member of the Arlington Diocese who was a former history student of Aitcheson's in the early 2000s, asked the diocese about Aitcheson's KKK history and said she might write about it.
The Post reported that a Klan group led by Aitcheson burned six crosses in Maryland's Prince George's County, including at two Jewish institutions, and was sentenced in 1977 to 90 days in a federal medical prison with four years probation by a judge who told him, "I don't believe you are a bad person."
In 1982 he was sentenced in a civil case to pay $23,000 in damages to the two Jewish institutions, a black couple and other Jewish victims for the burning crosses.
He decided to become a priest shortly after the sentence and was ordained in 1988 at the age of 33.
Aitcheson has taught about the Civil War, calling it the "war of Northern aggression," a former altar boy told the Post. He also was a collector of Civil War memorabilia.
"I try to think good things about our priests and it's difficult to learn of this information and think good things," one of Aitcheson's current parishioners, Mark Krajewski, told the Post.
He added: "This will always be in my mind."
The diocese has offered to help Aitcheson make amends to his victims and says Aitcheson is willing to do so, according to the Post.

The Campagnola helps celebrate the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War
The Campagnola, Iveco's new off-roader and the rightful heir to the legendary Fiat Campagnola, will be among the protagonists of Turin's celebrations for the 90th anniversary of the end of the First World War. These will coincide with the Festival of National Unity and Armed Forces Day and will run tomorrow and on Sunday 9th November.
The glorious Fiat Campagnola remained in service with every arm of the Italian armed forces from 1951, the year of its launch, until 1987, when production of the second series ended.
Now, over twenty years later, the Campagnola is back, this time bearing the Iveco name and eager to play a role in festivities in Turin.
The new Campagnola is a tough, pure off-roader just like its predecessor and inherits the great Italian off-road tradition along with its stable-mate the Massif, from which it is derived.
The lightweight 4WD Massif is dedicated to professional transport and was itself presented last March at the Samoter exhibition in Verona.
Campagnola's first duty will take place tomorrow in the Campus Riberi, for the traditional initiative of the "Caserme Aperte", available to young people and families for guided tours. On 9th November both vehicles will be among the attractions at the exhibition of transport and equipment of the Italian armed forces in Turin's Piazza San Carlo and Piazza Castello.
The city's two central squares will host an exhibition of vehicles (including many Ivecos) currently in service with the army, the Carabinieri, the navy and the air force.
As part of the celebrations, the glorious Itala car will also leave its place in the Automobile Museum to take up a position in the foyer of the Regio Theatre, remaining there for the duration of the event as part of an exhibition of uniforms, photos and materials from the period 1915 – 1918.
Last year the Itala re-enacted the legendary Paris-Beijing race, following the route it took one hundred years ago, this time escorted by a fleet of Iveco vehicles including two Massifs, a Daily 4x4, a Eurocargo 4x4 and a Trakker.


For next Wednesdays session we needed to have a set of business cards to show we're progressing with our individual efforts of making a name for ourselves within the world of graphic design. Plus when the opportunity comes along what's worse than meeting a potential client and not being able to leave them with your details. Before summer I designed and printed some of my business cards but wasn't totally satisfied with their outcome, This week I've tried to pick up from the point I left them at and give them a bit of a re-vamp.
In terms of budget I think sending off my design to a printing company to get some nicely finished prints would be ideal, but due low funds at the moment I'm pre-longing ordering with a company. I think being given something handmade is much more personal and satisfying to receive.
I started by thinking about what techniques I could use that I'm already well experienced in doing and would be effective as communicating myself as a designer. I found some hologram foil in screen print which as soon as I saw I thought would work well the stock I'd chosen. Using spray mount and a roller I layered up lots of piece of multi-coloured paper, so that the sides of my card would have a series of stock fading from yellow to purple. I thought this would link in nicely with the hologram foil print because when you hold it in the light you can see all the colours of the light spectrum.


Low-density lipoprotein, aka "LDL" is considered the "bad" cholesterol, because it contributes to fatty buildups in arteries (atherosclerosis).Over time, LDL can narrow the arteries with plaque buildup. When plaque accumulates on the walls of the arteries, health conditions such as heart attacks, strokes, lower-limb amputations, and PAD can arise.
High-density lipoprotein, aka "HDL" is often referred to as the "good" type of cholesterol. HDL carries bad cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where the LDL is broken down and excreted from the body. However, HDL cholesterol is not magic and only about 1/4th of blood cholesterol are carried out of the body by HDL.
Though HDL and LDL both transport cholesterol in the blood, the difference between the two is they deliver cholesterol to different body parts. HDL transports cholesterol away from your blood stream and delivers it back to your liver where it gets excreted from the body. However, LDL is the primary carrier of cholesterol which brings cholesterol to cells all throughout your body (ePain Assist, 2018).
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a common problem caused by atherosclerosis (plaque buildup potentially causing a blockage) usually affecting your legs. Not only will PAD affect the blood flow to your legs, but it can also affect flow to your heart, brain, and other major organs. You can successfully treat PAD by some life-style changes such as, dieting, exercising, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol and coffee consumption, and possibly start taking certain medication.
The main focus on these lifestyle changes is to lower cholesterol and blood pressure to a safe, manageable level. Cholesterol levels vary by a person's age, weight, and gender; however, a typical, healthy, HDL cholesterol number for adults is having a reading of less than 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). Likewise, LDL levels should be less than 100 mg/dL (Fletcher, 2017). As you age, your body tends to produce more and more cholesterol, which is why managing and monitoring your cholesterol is extremely important.
People that have high cholesterol levels often have PAD. The plaque from high cholesterol that is deposited inside the artery wall can cause symptoms of PAD such as pain in the legs, hips, thigh, or buttocks especially after walking. Decrease in temperature of your leg or foot, loss of hair on the legs, thinning of skin on the legs, and wounds that heal slowly or not at all or just a some of the symptoms to look for when diagnosing PAD. If left untreated, PAD can cause serious health conditions such as, a heart attack, stroke, or amputation. Heart attack symptoms to look for include: tightness, squeezing, pain or aching in the chest or arms, difficulty breathing and stroke symptoms such as dizziness or loss of balance, numbness, muscle weakness, difficulty speaking or speech loss.
Risk factors for PAD are age (usually over the age of 50), family history, smoking or have been a smoker, diabetes (especially type 2), history of vascular disease, and obesity. Early detection for both high cholesterol and PAD are simple and virtually painless. Blood tests will determine your cholesterol levels and an ankle-brachial index (ABI) and/or Doppler ultrasound are used to diagnose PAD. If you experience any problems or symptoms, contact your doctor immediately.
USA Vascular Centers offers minimally invasive, outpatient treatment for PAD. All procedures are covered by Medicare, most major health, and some Medicaid plans. For more information visit regarding our center locations, doctors, and treatments, please visit www.USAVascularCenters.com or call (855) 514-6149 to schedule your initial PAD consultation.

THE DiCENSO CLARK EXPEDITION
Two absolute masters of their craft combine to create a wall of sound...Dave DiCenso is one of the most studied contemporary drummers in the country for his technique and interpretation and Hammond B3 master Ken Clark is among the most dynamic and skilled players out there. Together they formed The DiCenso Clark Expedition in 2015 and although they play only a limited number of engagements per year this is a duo not to be missed. It's funk, jazz, rock, gospel, soul rolled into an intricate package and delivered with immense skill and power. That it's just two cats on stage is mind altering and they rocked the Fallout Shelter to the core!
This was a unique musical experience for many of the audience members. A simple stage with drums and a Hammond B3 organ, two brilliant musicians and a constant thrill-ride with all the twists and turns of roller coaster. It's evident when two musicians of this caliber are in sync with each other and can carry on a conversation in a language expressed solely in melody, harmony and rhythm. They are both interesting characters in their own right but combine to form a complex, diverse, intense entity through expression of art. Just recently the DiCenso Clarke Expedition became an experiment that had incredible moments but the two have decide that the Expedition had run it's course, they discovered the secrets and ended the run.

Due to the increase in the number of on-site withdrawals, the PJT has instituted the following withdrawal policy for players who withdraw after they have started their first round.
After play has begun, all players wishing to withdraw must report to the Tournament Director or a member of the Philadelphia Section PGA Field Staff before leaving the host facility. The Tournament Director may ask the player's fellow competitors about any sickness or injury. After sufficient information has been gathered, the Tournament Director will categorize the player's withdrawal into 1 of 3 categories listed below and the corresponding action will take place.
The player is obviously ill, injured, or a family emergency has occurred. The Tournament Director will make note of the date of the withdrawal and the reason for withdrawing. Once the tournament is official, a "WD" will be listed to the player's name in the tournament results. The Tournament Director will report the withdrawal to the PJT Committee and no further action will take place.
The Tournament Director is unable to determine if a player has a legitimate reason for withdrawing or a weather delay may cause a player to miss future obligations which will lead to incurring significant costs if the player remains in the tournament. The Tournament Director will make note of the date of the withdrawal and the reason for withdrawing. Once the tournament is official, a "WD" will be listed next to the player's name in the tournament results. The Tournament Director will report the withdrawal to the PJT Committee and a questionable withdrawal will be recorded in the player's history.
If a player receives three questionable withdrawals, the player will not be eligible for post season events and year-end honors (i.e. Harry Hammond Invitational, Jon M. Pritsch Cup, Junior Tour Championship, Junior PGA Championship, Player of the Year or Scoring Average Leader).
The player is obviously withdrawing due to poor play or lack of ambition to play. This also includes a player failing to mention to the Tournament Director his inability to make his scheduled tee time and players leaving the host facility and/or failing to show up for any subsequent rounds of an event without talking to the Tournament Director or Philadelphia Section PGA Field Staff.
This is a serious breach of the PJT Withdrawal Policy and the Tournament Director will rule the withdrawal unjustified. The Tournament Director will make note of the date of the withdrawal and the reason for withdrawing. Once the tournament is official, a "DQ" will be listed next to the player's name in the tournament results. The Tournament Director will report the withdrawal to the PJT Committee and an unjustified withdrawal will be recorded in the player's history.
One unjustified withdrawal will result in the player not being eligible for post season events and year-end honors (i.e. Harry Hammond Invitational, Jon M. Pritsch Cup, Junior Tour Championship, Junior PGA Championship, Player of the Year or Scoring Average Leader).
Please review the following refund policy before withdrawing from a PJT Tournament.
Note: All processing fees ($5 for each transaction) are non-refundable.
Once a membership fee has been processed, the membership dues are non-refundable.
Juniors may withdraw from an event without forfeiting an entry fee (minus the transaction fee of $5) if the withdrawal occurs before the cancellation date and before tee times have been posted. The cancellation date is always at 12 noon, 1 week prior to the tournament date. All entry fees will be refunded on the original form of payment used.
If a cancellation occurs after the cancellation date or after tee times have been posted, an entry fee is non-refundable unless the cancellation is due to an injury, illness or family emergency. The Tournament Director will have the final say on whether a cancellation is justified to a refund or not.

"Care of the Spirit" is an ongoing and important part of life at Madrid Home Communities. Sunday and Wednesday services led by our full-time Chaplin, Rev. Marshall Felderman, who welcomes all Christians to worship in our beautiful chapel.
Residents at the Cedars and Ballard Creek assisted living facilities also have the opportunity to attend weekly worship services, and to receive communion on a regular basis from Chaplin Felderman.
The beauty and symbolism of the stained glass windows can be seen in the Sanborn Chapel. They help inspire those who worship here, allowing them to lift their thoughts to the Source of light and life.
Sanborn Memorial Chapel was dedicated June 10, 1962. It was named in remembrance of the untiring work of Superintendent Gust Sanborn and in grateful appreciation for the devoted labors of his wife, Martha, matron of the Madrid Home.
On September 16, 2012, the Madrid Home's Sanborn Chapel celebrated 50 years since the construction and dedication of the Chapel. The service also dedicated the new sound system in memory of Clara Ihle and Alma Pedretti.
