"Unapologetic, Unrepentant": Who Regrets Slavery? Not Steve Scalise
I know that Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) doesn't have "a racist bone in his body," but it's hard to reconcile that with his actions. The third-ranking member of the House Republican leadership didn't just attend a neo-Nazi conference in 2002, he also led opposition to a 1996 resolution in the state House that expressed mere "regret" for the institution of slavery.
To get some perspective on this, the reason that the resolution was an expression of "regret" rather than a straight-up apology is because David Vitter negotiated watered-down language in exchange for his support.
Another familiar face was in the committee meeting as well: Republican David Vitter. The U.S. senator and 2015 Louisiana gubernatorial candidate was also a state representative serving on the panel.
Vitter echoed Scalise in the meeting, arguing that an apology for slavery implied an "admission of guilt," according to the minutes. The future U.S. senator said "an expression of regret" was more appropriate.
[Then-state Rep. Yvonne] Dorsey eventually agreed to Vitter's suggestion, and the resolution was unanimously amended to include the "regret" language.
But this wasn't enough for Scalise. He made an effort to "defer" the bill in committee [it failed 11-2] and then he vocally yelled 'no' as the bill was passed on the House floor in an uncontroversial voice vote.
I know that we're all supposed to make certain allowances for the way things used to be in the South, and, yes, 1996 was a long time ago. But even by the standards of the mid-1990's, Steve Scalise was an outlier.
Let's be clear, too, that this wasn't an expression of regret for the more recent Jim Crow laws. This was about slavery. And Scalise wasn't making some pedantic point about how it's anachronistic to hold our ancestors to the moral standards of the present. He just didn't think that there was anything to regret.
Dorsey, who now serves in the state Senate and goes by Yvonne Dorsey-Colomb, told The Hill this week that she was hurt when Scalise attacked her resolution in the House and Government Affairs Committee.
"I didn't like what he said and how he said it. It was callous," said Dorsey-Colomb, who is the descendant of slaves. "I think he wanted nothing to do with it. It was like, 'How dare you bring this up and ask us to do this?'"
I remind you that Steve Scalise is the House Majority Whip, a position held in the past by folks like Dick Gephardt, Tom DeLay, Roy Blunt, Kevin McCarthy, and Steny Hoyer. Other relatively recent Republican (minority) whips include Eric Cantor, Trent Lott, Newt Gingrich, and Dick Cheney.
Scalise holds a position that is powerful in its own right, but it's also a position that tends to lead places.
Yet, we're told that Scalise isn't actually a racist. We're not told that he used to be a racist and then had some kind of epiphany like, say, Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia, who endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton. Basically, we're just told that Scalise never was a racist despite the obvious fact that he behaved in an obviously racist way over the period of many years while serving in the Louisiana legislature.
As I've said before, pretending to be a racist isn't somehow better than actually being a racist. In some ways, I think it is worse. I don't like excuses that take the form of "that's just what I had to do to get elected."
But that's the best excuse available to Scalise, and, in that case, he was too convincing as an actor.
If the GOP wants to carry this anvil, they're welcome to it, but the nation deserves better than this. We have an example to set for the world, right?
This isn't getting it done.

"The Exceptions": How To Be A Walking 'Confirmation Bias' (Role Model: Mia Love)
Representative Mia Love, Republican of Utah, appeared on the January 4 edition of the ABC News program This Week With George Stephanpoulos to defend House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana in the wake of revelations that he once addressed a white supremacist group.
Have you ever been in a debate with your right-wing uncle and when you ask him for proof of his wild claims, he pulls up a Fox News article? Instinctively, you roll your eyes. Of course he sought out Fox News as a source—it's a haven for people like him. Everything he already thinks about minorities, LGBTQ people, Muslims and single moms is there. Automatically turning to Fox News to search for information that he knows will affirm what he already believes is called a confirmation bias.
On December 29, news broke that Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the new House majority whip, had addressed a white supremacist group in 2002. Former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke founded the European-Unity and American Rights Organization, or EURO, in 2000, and Scalise, then a member of the state legislature, rallied the support of EURO members to oppose a proposed new tax. Amid critics' demands that Scalise be pushed from his leadership role in the House, his fellow Republicans half-heartedly expressed support for him, calling his appearance before the group a "mistake," while Democrats offered a mixed response. The most vocal support from inside Congress, however, came from Mia Love, who represents a district in Utah.
Love recently made history by being the first black woman elected to Congress as a Republican. Despite her personal history as a child of Haitian immigrants, she holds extremely right-wing views on immigration and now, apparently, white supremacy. Congresswoman Love essentially gave Scalise a pass, saying that he should stay in his new leadership position. "He has been absolutely wonderful to work with. He's been very helpful for me and he has had the support of his colleagues," Love said on the January 4 edition of ABC's This Week.
What Love and other black conservatives like Ben Carson and Allen West may not realize is that their very presence serves as every racist's confirmation bias. When blacks and other people of sound mind decry Scalise over associating with a racial hate group, right-wingers can point to Love and say, "See? Good black people are totally cool with a top elected official palling around with white supremacists!"
Members of minority groups who seem to be blind to racism—or purposefully ignore it—are either looking for political gain or have internalized society's bigotry. It is likely that Love and others like her desire the approval of their white peers and have bought into the idea that they're "not like the others" of their own racial or ethnic group. They've bought into the dominant culture's bias against their own people, and deemed themselves to be righteous exceptions to the trumped-up rule.
Writing off Mia Love and Allen West as out-of-touch right-wingers is easy, but the truth is that these very visible blacks hurt the cause—the ongoing quest for equality. As long as they continue to disregard racism, and side with those who would pander to white supremacists, racists with an agenda will always have a valuable token to confirm their biases.

"The Price Of Steve Scalise's Silence": Duke'd Out, The More He Keeps Silent, The More Credibility He Loses As Majority Whip
John Boehner was reelected House Speaker yesterday by his Republican colleagues despite some dissenting members. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, however, has been in a survival struggle since late December, when a brave, young blogger, Lamar White Jr., reported on a 2002 event in which the Congressman met with a white supremacist group formed by David Duke, Louisiana's most famous closet Nazi.
Scalise quickly called the speech "a mistake I regret," condemned hate groups and then hid in a cocoon of silence. As Boehner and other House leaders circled the wagons for Scalise, the silence stretched a week over the New Year's holiday when media lights were low.
But Scalise's silence made it worse for a Republican Party perennially accused of catering to bigots on the fringe by creating a news vacuum filled by Duke, a media hound wallowing in the newfound attention. Duke's media appearances raise the stakes for Scalise's long-term survival. GOP House members–like the proverbial Three Wise Monkeys who resort to see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak no-evil platitudes—waited for it all to go away. Politico has reported that some Republican donors see Scalise as damaged goods.
If so, he has his silence — on top of poor judgment — to blame.
Rep. Cedric Richmond of New Orleans, a black and the lone Democrat in the state's congregation, did him a huge favor. "I don't think Steve Scalise has a racist bone in his body," he said.
If that's the case, Scalise's decision as a 37 year old state representative to accept the spring 2002 invitation from two well-known Duke operatives, Kenny Knight and Howie Farrell, to speak at Duke's European-American Unity and Rights Organization, makes even less sense.
Why did Farrell and Knight want him there? And why did Scalise agree to such a risky venue?
Scalise could have easily said, "Sorry, boys, this one's too hot." Or he could've given a more deceptive excuse. He knew that a public appearance with Duke could be disastrous.
Duke was a state representative whose neo-Nazi alliances were disgorged in media reports during his run for governor in 1991. (He lost in a landslide to Edwin Edwards.) Duke's Nazi stigma made him toxic to most politicians. Scalise, 26, saw that.
But after winning 55 percent of the white vote, Duke had a database of supporters some politicians coveted. In 1999, Scalise was in the legislature when the media savaged Gov. Mike Foster over the news that he had paid Duke $150,000 for his supporters list in the 1995 election. Speculation raged that Duke agreed not to run as part of the deal, though it was never proven.
Foster wasn't prosecuted, either, but the FBI began probing Duke's fundraising. In the late '90s, he spent extensive periods in Europe, giving anti-Semitic and Holocaust denial speeches at neo-fascist venues. The FBI raided his home in 2000 with an affidavit questioning his use of $200,000 from his white supremacist fundraising.
That was news Scalise could not have missed. Scalise never would have spoken to EURO had Duke been there in person.
"Duke was in Russia—for his fourth visit since 1995," wrote Leonard Zeskind, author of "Blood and Nationalism," in an article for the Swedish Monitor, on Duke's travels in the late 1990s. "He spent the next two years traveling across Europe (East and West) and the Arab countries of the Middle East. He established a home base in Italy. In France, Duke had his picture taken with Jean-Marie Le Pen."
By speaking to EURO, Scalise did a favor to Kenny Knight, a former neighbor who has been falling over himself in the last few days by giving utterly contradictory statements to various media in a buffoon's carnival of damage control.
Duke meanwhile crowed to the Washington Post that Knight "would keep Scalise up to date on my issues" – all while Steve Scalise kept mum.
The $150,000 Duke got from Foster could not have supported the European lifestyle; the sources of Duke's money remain a mystery.
Scalise's speech in 2002 lent some legitimacy to Duke, who spoke that day by video link from Russia. The juxtaposition planted a story of association on websites that touted both men for their talks. It all went unnoticed until the report by White.
Ten months after the speech, in March 2003, Duke came back to Louisiana, pled guilty to federal charges of tax and mail fraud, and agreed to a $10,000 fine for abuses of the nonprofit fundraising that facilitated his travel, including gambling trips to Gulfport and Las Vegas. He also admitted to filing a false income tax statement.
After a year in prison, Duke resumed his travels. In 2006, he spoke at a conference in Iran, maintaining his drumbeat: "The Holocaust is the device used as the pillar of Zionist imperialism, Zionist aggression, Zionist terror and Zionist murder."
Meanwhile, Scalise moved up the ladder.
At a press conference today with Scalise, Speaker Boehner again defended him. Scalise spoke briefly, adding little of substance, saying that the people back home know him best.
"I reject any form of bigotry, bigotry of all kinds. I'll refer you back to our statement. I think that's where the story ends," said Scalise.
But someone who knows Scalise from back home, Urban League President and former New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial, co-authored a letter to Scalise sent today from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights in Washington, and made available to The Daily Beast.
The letter seeks a meeting to discuss a pattern of Scalise's votes on certain issues, noting that he was one of six state legislators to vote against a Martin Luther King holiday, and did so two years after his EURO appearance. "You apparently took a similar position involving the naming of a U.S. Post Office for Louisiana civil rights icon, the Honorable Lionel Collins," the letter states, "a pioneering civil rights lawyer and the first African-American judge in Jefferson Parish."
Who among Scalise's constituents could possibly care if he supported naming a post office for a black judge who died in 1988?
Kenny Knight for one. And David Duke for another.
As New Orleans Advocate columnist Stephanie Grace recalls from a conversation years ago, Scalise touted himself as David Duke without the baggage.
Now, Duke is Scalise's baggage.
Duke has jumped into field-day mode, rising to Scalise's defense on CNN with Michael Smerconish. "I did not contribute to him, he did not contribute to me," Duke said. He also bragged about earning a PhD, a point Smerconish did not question.
The "doctorate" Duke claims is from an anti-Semitic Ukranian "diploma mill" as described by the State Department.
"What Duke actually got at Ukraine's Interregional Academy of Personnel Management is a 'Kandidat Nauk' degree, which ranks below a full doctorate," wrote Heidi Beirch in a Southern Poverty Law Center 2009 Intelligence Report. "It was awarded to Duke for a thesis entitled 'Zionism as a Form of Ethnic Supremacism' and was the second degree given Duke by the university, which had earlier handed the former Klan boss an honorary degree."
Duke is cynically making sport of Scalise by expressing his support for him, dropping hints of blackmail by naming other House members he claims to know, should Scalise lose his post.
"Scalise was ambitious to the point of reckless opportunism when it came to catering to Duke and his base," says Tulane professor emeritus Lawrence Powell, author of "Troubled Memory," a history of the 1991 election and its impact on a Holocaust survivor in New Orleans.
"If Scalise denounces Duke he may alienate some of his local base. But the more he keeps silent, the more credibility he loses as Majority Whip."
In his brief appearance today, Scalise never mentioned Duke. Does he fear repercussions for doing so? Or has the see and hear and speak-no-evil stance of the Republican House persuaded him that he is in the clear?

"Completely Deplorable, Yet, Totally Unsurprising": Today's GOP: Still Cool With Racist Pandering?
What Steve Scalise did in appearing before David Duke's group—and in twice voting against a Martin Luther King holiday, and in reportedly referring to himself in a chat with a journalist as "David Duke without the baggage"—tells us a lot about Steve Scalise. But what the Republican Party is now doing—or not doing—with regard to Scalise tells us a lot about the Republican Party, and that's a little more important.
I haven't seen that one Republican of any note, from Reince Priebus on down, has uttered a word of criticism of the man. Plenty of conservative commentators have said he should step down from his leadership position. Even Sarah Palin sees the sense in this. But among elected Republicans and Priebus, it's been defense, or silence.
It's pretty clear what this tells us. Most of the time, institutions of all kinds—political, corporate, nonprofit, what have you—try to duck from scandals and hope they'll blow over. But occasionally they don't. Every once in a while, they act swiftly and acknowledge the problem. They do that when they know their bottom line is threatened—when the higher-ups are getting freaked out phone calls from key constituents or stakeholders who are making it clear that this one is serious, that it flies in the face of some basic principle they all thought they were working for, and won't just blow over.
So the fact that Scalise still has his leadership gig tells us that the key stakeholders and constituencies within the GOP aren't particularly bothered by the fact that he spoke to white supremacists and indeed might be one himself. They're certainly embarrassed, I should think. Surely they see the problem here. But they see it as a public-relations problem, a matter to be damage-controlled, which is quite different from seeing it as being plainly and substantively wrong.
This is especially striking, though hardly surprising, in the case of Priebus, Mr. Outreach. As Joan Walsh noted, Priebus has been fond of saying that his GOP would "work like dogs" to improve its standing among the black citizenry, and the brown and the young and the gay and so on. He didn't specify what breed of dog, but obviously it's less Retriever and more Bassett Hound.
Here is the RNC's idea of inclusion. Go to gop.com right now (I mean after you finish reading me!). If the homepage is unchanged from yesterday, when I was writing these words, here's what you'll see. Most of it is taken up by a graphic inviting the visitor to participate in the 2016 online presidential straw poll. There are four photos there of representative presidential candidates. Chris Christie and Scott Walker are two. Okay, fine, they're probably running and are legit candidates.
Let's see, who else? Jeb Bush? No. Rand Paul? Nyet. Mike Huckabee? Nope. Try Tim Scott and Nikki Haley. Now, Scott and Haley (the black senator and Sikh governor, respectively, from South Carolina) are likely presidential contenders in about the same sense that I'm on the short list for the Nobel Prize in Literature. But, as the Wizard said to the Scarecrow, they've got one thing I—and Bush and Paul and Huckabee—haven't got: melanin. So, says Reince, throw their names in the poll so we can slap 'em up there on the homepage!
That's just so very RNC, isn't it? The people who bring you all the gospel choirs and so on at their conventions, which looking solely at the entertainment you'd think were Stax-Volt reunions. You'd never guess that only 2 percent of the delegates (36 out of 2,000, in 2012) were black.
As for elected Republicans, if any prominent one has called on Scalise to step down, it has escaped my notice and the notice of a lot of people I read; the farthest any have gone is to offer up some quotes on background about how Scalise is damaged goods, like this quote, which "a GOP lawmaker" gave to Politico: "As far as him going up to the Northeast, or going out to Los Angeles or San Francisco or Chicago, he's damaged. This thing is still smoking. Nobody is really fanning the flames yet. … The thing that concerns me is that there are people who are still out there digging on this right now."
Note: The thing that concerns this "lawmaker" is not that his or her party is being partially led by a sympathizer to white supremacists. It's that the rest of us are still making a fuss about it, which in turn will damage Scalise's ability to go prostitute himself before the party's millionaires. If that's not a near-perfect summation of contemporary conservative politics in America, then such doesn't exist.
The media tend to frame situations like this as aberrations, but in this case, quite the opposite is the truth. This person who once said that David Duke's biggest problem was not his racial views but the fact that he couldn't get elected is who Scalise is. And this is what the Republican Party is—an organization that isn't bothered in any meaningful way by the fact one of its top national leaders should hold these kinds of ideas in his head. And finally, this is who most of our political press is—gullible enough to be surprised by either of the first two.

"Long Read; The GOP's Offensive Defense": The Scalise Scandal Is Like A Grain Of Sand On A Very Big Beach
The firestorm over House Majority Whip Steve Scalise's 2002 decision to speak at a white supremacists' conference might have skipped a news cycle or two over the New Year's holiday, but it's not going away anytime soon.
On Monday, the White House got into the act during press secretary Josh Earnest's daily briefing. Though he said his boss, President Barack Obama, is mum on whether Republicans should kick the Louisiana congressman to the curb, Earnest played up Scalise's own words and the GOP leadership's decision to give him rank:
"[Obama] believes it is their decision to make. But there's no arguing that who Republicans decide to elevate into a leadership position says a lot about what the conference's priorities and values are. Mr. Scalise reportedly described himself as David Duke without the baggage, so it will be up to Republicans to decide what that says about their conference."
Over the weekend, however, one new lawmaker simultaneously defended Scalise and helped the GOP subtly push back against its image as a party dominated by white men, despite evidence to the contrary. But incoming Rep. Mia Love of Utah – the Republicans' first African-American woman elected to the House, and a woman The Washington Post declared is the party's "racial conscience" – may have done more to remind people of the GOP's problems than help them forget Scalise.
Post reporter Nia-Malika Henderson argues that Love's appearance on ABC's "This Week" made her Scalise's most powerful defender; she swatted down calls for his dismissal from leadership and vouched for his character. Her rejection of accusations that Scalise is a racist, Henderson writes, "is an argument that tends to carry more weight when it's made by a minority, which gets at why Love will continue to be so important to the GOP, beyond whatever day-to-day work she does for her Utah constituents." She goes on:
[Love] is Exhibit No. 1 for Republicans' claim to be a diverse party at the federal level, a role that makes her the new racial conscience of her party – along with Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) and perhaps Rep.-elect Will Hurd (Tex.), another newly elected black Republican. (Neither of them have commented on Scalise so far).
But there are also limits to how helpful she might be. So far, she has been unwilling to directly address the perception problem that many of her fellow Republicans are raising in discussions about Scalise.
Their worry is not so much about proving whether or not Scalise is a racist, but that the GOP's brand might take a further hit because of Scalise's actions more than a decade ago. Colin Powell, for instance, in the past has talked about the "dark vein of intolerance in some parts of the party" – a strain not checked enough by party leaders, according to Powell. (He has also not commented on the Scalise incident).
Henderson's right: Republicans aren't engaging in a debate on whether Scalise is a good legislator and fit to serve. House Speaker John Boehner, the top Republican in the chamber, is standing solidly behind Scalise, which for most purposes means his majority whip isn't going anywhere – unless, of course, some more race stuff surfaces in the next few weeks.
What's interesting about Henderson's article, however, is how it indicates the GOP is really concerned about the matter, and how that means we're likely to see more of Love, a heretofore unknown freshman:
Republicans, or at least the ones who put together the Republican National Committee's Growth and Opportunity Project memo, are very aware of their brand problems among minorities.
"Public perception of the Party is at record lows. Young voters are increasingly rolling their eyes at what the Party represents, and many minorities wrongly think that Republicans do not like them or want them in the country."
Love's best answer for this brand problem – described in very stark terms – seems to be simply moving on and trusting that Scalise had no ill intentions. And when it comes to earning that trust, Love clearly has a role to play.
The project memo not surprisingly gives the GOP the benefit of the doubt by declaring that minorities wrongly think that Republicans hate them. There's plenty of evidence that African-American and Latino hostility toward Republicans stems from the party's policies, stated and otherwise – its positions on immigration, affirmative action and voting rights come immediately to mind – and not just its demographics.
Henderson concludes:
But how do you convince minorities that they are wrong about Republicans, with Scalise and his associates as the most recent evidence? That's a much harder problem to solve, with Love's presence and voice serving as a very small part.
That – given that the GOP leadership is almost exclusively white and male, and its constituency is older and white – is perhaps the greater issue. Putting Love in front of the cameras smacks of tokenism, and that tends to remind minorities of the GOP's much deeper problems, like the mythical Southern strategy, or maybe the Shelby County vs. Holder case.
When it comes to its problems with minority voters, the Scalise scandal ("Klangate," maybe? "White Wash"?), seems like a grain of sand on a very big beach.

New Choice
Players perform a scene based on an audience suggestion. At any point during the scene, the Host may blow a whistle and call for a "New Choice," at which point the previous line of dialogue and/or action is replaced with a new line of dialogue and/or action.
The Host may call for as many or as few new choices as he or she chooses.
Make bold, radical choices. There is a tendency in this game to fall into the Rule of Threes. Fight it. For example...
Bad Example:
"I'm walking my dog."
"New choice!"
"I'm walking my cat."
"I'm walking my elephant."
"This is a stick-up. Give me all your money!"
Good Example:
"I hate to be the one to tell you – you're just not cut out to be an astronaut, Daniel."
In the bad example, a dull, predictable pattern is established. The same "choice" is repeated three times, with only one word changing, and only after this is a genuine alternative offered. Aim to be more like the good example, avoiding patterns and predictability. Take the scene in a new direction. Make NEW choices.
Host: A character's entrance is a great opportunity to call for a new choice. It challenges players to be someone they didn't expect to be.
Host: Beware of the Rule of Threes, as well. Fight all habits and patterns. Once a player thinks they know your style, it's time to reverse their expectations. Very often a player will offer some line that he or she is sure you'll want replaced with a new choice, then wait for the blow of your whistle. Reverse expectations by not calling for a new choice, forcing that player to continue with the first line given. Likewise, many players will automatically expect their first "New Choice" to be rejected, offering some throwaway choice as their first option, and saving their "good" line for the second or third choice. If the player is playing you, reverse expectations.
Many new players find this game daunting and nerve-wracking. Don't go easy on them. Yes, this game is supremely challenging. It puts huge pressure on players, and forces creativity, speed, and confidence. In short, it is improv. Force players to overcome this game, and they'll be ready for anything.

When big pharmaceutical companies decide a drug is no longer profitable, Amdipharm take over, assuring the supply to millions of people is never interrupted. Amdipharm provides medicines to over 80 countries in Europe, Asia and Africa – and all require their own freight, customs and warehouse solutions. When he first came to the company in 2007, Wayne chose a logistics partner with a reputation for taking on difficult, high-value commodities.
True to form, the logistics expert brought their highly-trained staff, secure transport and MHRA-approved warehouse facilities. But they also brought their instinct for adding value.
After demonstrating an aptitude for moving theft-attractive goods securely, Maltacourt quickly became integrated with Amdipharm's wider operation.
Always keen to go beyond the bounds of a typical logistics partner, Maltacourt has taken their data-driven approach to another level by completing a comprehensive temperature map of all European road-freight routes.


I have specialised in loft conversion since 1973, completing projects during that time. This type of work has additional requirements to new buildings in that a concentrated examination of the building structure is required.
I produce detailed structural calculations for new beams and posts that will be required to transmit the loads of the new room construction safely to the building foundations. These beam and post calculations are carried out in-house as part of the project and within the fee estimate for the job.
More complex structural calculations would be passed to a consultant structural engineer, however this additional structural design work is often not required for residential properties.
Full construction details for the loft conversion, including complete floor and roof beam/joist/rafter layouts are supplied along with detailed calculation sheets.

Etta Becker-Donner (nascida Violetta Donner; Viena, 5 de dezembro de 1911 — Viena, 25 de setembro de 1975) foi uma etnóloga austríaca.

Vida
Em 1934 aos 22 anos de idade fez sua primeira viagem à Libéria, e em 1936 e 1937 pela segunda vez. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial casou-se em 1941 com o americano Hans Becker, que foi transferido profissionalmente para o Chile em 1947. Então Becker-Donner também mudou seu foco de pesquisa para a América Latina. Após a morte de seu marido, em 1948, voltou a Viena.

Em 1954 empreendeu sua primeira expedição para o Brasil. Também fez expedições para a Costa Rica e a Guatemala. O foco estava na arte sul-americana. Também foram feitas viagens de pesquisa para a China, os Estados Unidos e a União Soviética. A maioria dessas viagens foi feita sem um companheiro de viagem europeu, e a maioria era apenas com guias ou intérpretes locais.

Em 1955 assumiu a gestão do ainda então independente Museu Etnológico de Viena () , que já conhecia, desde que ela foi empregada desde 1938 como assistente de pesquisa. Tinha sido responsável pelo museu por 20 anos, durante os quais expandiu a área de exposições e eventos especiais.

A sua atividade também alcançou a política de desenvolvimento. Foi uma das fundadoras do Instituto Latino-Americano em Viena ().

What Does Alpha Mean in Stocks?
By: Amanda McMullen
••• Thinkstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Significance of Negative Return on Shareholders' Equity
The goal of an investor is to generate the highest return possible with the least amount of risk. One of the metrics investors use to determine a stock's risk-adjusted performance is "alpha," also known as "Jenson's alpha" or the "Jenson index." Alpha is the difference between a stock's actual return and its expected return adjusted for risk.
To calculate a stock's alpha value, you must first understand its beta value. A stock's beta value is its overall risk compared to other market investments. If beta is greater than 1.0, the risk is higher than the average market risk and its return should be higher than average market returns. Conversely, if beta is less than 1.0, the risk is lower than the average market risk and the return should be lower than average market returns.
Capital Asset Pricing Model
The capital asset pricing model is a formula used to determine an asset's expected return based on its beta value. When beta is less than 1.0, the stock's CAPM value will be lower than the average market return. When the beta value is greater than 1.0, the stock's CAPM value will be higher than the average market return.
Calculating Alpha
When a stock's actual excess return differs from the return predicted by its CAPM value, the difference between the two values is alpha. To calculate a stock's alpha value, subtract its expected return as determined by the CAPM from its current return value. For example, if an asset's actual market return is 25 percent and the return predicted by the CAPM is 22 percent, its alpha is equal to 3 percent. Similarly, a stock with an estimated CAPM return of 30 percent and an actual return of 25 percent would have an alpha value of -5 percent.
Interpreting Alpha
A positive alpha value indicates that a given stock is performing better than expected, while a negative alpha value indicates that the stock is performing worse than expected. Investors typically view stocks with positive alpha values as good investments likely to produce excess returns. Conversely, investors expect a stock with a negative alpha value to perform poorly.
No investment is without risk. A stock's alpha value does not guarantee its future performance. A stock performing well at the time of the calculation may perform poorly in the future. Likewise, stocks currently producing negative alpha values may not always perform poorly.

Bud Adams and The Foolish Club
With the passing of Tennessee Titans owner K.S. "Bud" Adams, there remains just two people who put up their money and in the process modernized professional football in the United States.
Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson and the former owner of the Los Angeles/San Diego Chargers Barron Hilton are still alive to talk about the late 1950s when Lamar Hunt and Adams could not get into the National Football League with teams in Dallas and Houston, respectively. So, they decided to start a new league with an old name, the American Football League.
The roots of the American Football League go back to 1956 when Chicago Bears owner George Halas predicted that the league would expand from 12 to 16 teams sometime between 1960-1965. The next year, NFL Commissioner Bert Bell predicted the league would increase its number of teams in 1960 and by 1958, Bell had appointed Halas and Steelers owner Art Rooney to a committee to explore expansion.
Bud Adams, who helped lead the AFL-NFL merger, died at the age of 90 on Monday, Oct. 21.
Dallas and Houston were identified as cities that could support a NFL team. Minneapolis-St. Paul, Buffalo and Miami were also in consideration.
Bell, Halas and Rooney were encouraged by the interest and suggested that the NFL would expand to both Dallas and Houston by 1961.
In 1958, the two Texas businessmen, Lamar Hunt and Bud Adams applied for the Dallas and Houston expansion franchises. NFL owners said no. Both had also tried to buy the Chicago Cardinals with the idea of moving them to Texas. Both bids were turned down.
Halas and Rooney moved ahead with their committee and scheduled the Bears and Steelers to meet in a 1959 pre-season game in Houston. Halas had news conferences in February and April in Houston to sell tickets to the game and discuss expansion plans. He thought the league would start expanding in 1960 with Dallas, Houston, Buffalo and Miami as the most likely expansion cities and that the NFL would act on adding teams in its annual meeting in January 1960.
The NFL timetable was not fast enough for Hunt and by July 28, 1959, Bell told a congressional committee of Hunt's plan with Hunt's permission. A few weeks later, Halas announced that his expansion committee would recommend in January 1960 that the NFL expand to Dallas and Houston for the 1961 season with the Houston franchise joining the NFL, if there was an adequate stadium available.
The NFL hoped to use Rice University's field until a new football field was built in Houston. But Rice University officials turned down the NFL's overture. The league ended its flirtation with Houston at that point and Minneapolis stepped up its efforts to join the NFL.
Hunt decided if he couldn't join the NFL, he might as well compete with them and by 1959 the American Football League was born with franchises in Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Denver and New York. Eventually Boston and Buffalo would join the league, but Minneapolis owner Max Winter dropped out when the NFL awarded him an expansion franchise in 1961. The AFL gave that franchise instead to Oakland.
"The first organizational meeting of the AFL was in mid-August of 1959 in Chicago," Hunt recalled. "I think there was an opportunity, the sport needed to grow. It had gone through a consolidation period and we had seen the 1958 great championship game between the Giants and Colts. There was great national interest in the game and there were a lot of cities frankly that were growing, not all of them had great stadium facilities. But it was beginning to happen. The public was beginning to perceive that this game had a national appeal."
And with that "The Foolish Club," a group of American Football League owners embarked on starting a football league. It would be the fourth incarnation of the American Football League. Three other "AFL's" failed, although the NFL did take some teams from the failed leagues with the most notable being the Cleveland Rams of the second AFL. That team played in the AFL in 1936 and joined the NFL in 1937.
Another league, the All American Football Conference was in operation between 1946 and 1949. Three AAFC teams joined the NFL, the Baltimore Colts, the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers.
The NFL was a ragtag, mom and pop operation in the 1950s and no more than one or two steps above semi-pro football. The league was vying for talent with the Canadian Football League in the mid-1950s and lost some players to CFL teams who paid more money for talent.
Hunt's first move after he decided to go ahead with the American Football League was to meet with Adams in Houston. Hunt felt a Dallas-Houston rivalry would be important for the new league. Hunt also noted that NFL attendance had grown from nearly 2 million in 1950 to more than 3 million in 1958. The NFL signed a TV deal with CBS in 1956 and further pushed pro football into a nation's consciousness.
"The others came from really from names that were interested in getting the Chicago Cardinals to move to their city," he explained. "Harry Wismer was not in that group. He was a stockholder, interestingly in two NFL teams, Detroit and Washington and I don't know how that came about, but he came in a little later with the New York Titans.
"Ralph Wilson and Buffalo also came in October and his franchise became the seventh and then the Boston Patriots with Bill Sullivan became the eighth franchise and then we went through another consolidation and lost one team and then added the Oakland Raiders as the eighth team," Hunt said.
Sullivan was interested in bringing an NFL team to Boston and was one among the first people to conceive of putting luxury boxes into a stadium in 1958. He went to NFL Commissioner Bert Bell with architectural plans for a stadium in Norwood, Mass., near the airport. The stadium had a roof and executive boxes and the idea was to have the Boston Red Sox move out of Fenway Park as a co-tenant.
The plan died when word leaked out and the Red Sox walked away from the stadium idea. Sullivan entered the AFL without a home field and jumped from stadium to stadium within the Boston area.
According to Adams, who said yes to Hunt's idea, "The Foolish Club" was a joke but these owners were determined to make the AFL succeed.
"Well, we started out, there were just two of us," Adams said. "Then we had four more to come in and the last one to come in was Oakland because Minnesota pulled out, they were in there originally. We even gave them their $25,000 back. We were foolish on that. We thought it was the proper thing to do because they (Minnesota) were going over to the NFL.
"I look back now at my first year payroll of the Houston Oilers, it was the entire sum of $350,000 and I had the number one player, Billy Cannon, the Heisman Trophy winner and a two-time All American and he was making $15,000 salary and I paid him a $20,000 bonus," Adams added. "Things were a lot different in 1960 than they are today."
Adams paid the New York Titans payroll when Harry Wismer couldn't meet his Titans payroll obligation. The deal was Adams sent a player and the money to Wismer in exchange for a first round draft pick.
"The NFL was tough competition," Adams said. "They said we wouldn't last, the other leagues, the All American league had gone out. It was interesting years. ABC came in and gave us $165,000 and I think in the second year, they gave us $125,000 because the ratings weren't up there. But we thought that was a lot of money."
Adams eventually would become just another NFL owner after the 1966 AFL-NFL merger. He would move his Houston Oilers franchise to Nashville in the mid-1990s, although he did finish out his lease at the Houston Astrodome. The team started playing in Memphis in 1997 and at Vanderbilt University in 1998. Adams' Oilers became the Tennessee Titans in 1999 when the team moved into a municipally built football facility in Nashville.
Today's NFL can thank Adams, who was a prime mover and shaker in establishing it.

Japan, UK, Italy to make next-generation fighter jet
AFP Published December 10, 2022
Their announcement was accompanied by a set of bombastic images. — AFP
LONDON: Britain, Italy and Japan said on Friday they will jointly develop a future fighter jet in a project that UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said would guarantee national security and safeguard thousands of jobs.
The three nations held out the prospect of cooperation with European and US allies, which are developing their own "sixth-generation" planes, vowing to maintain "interoperability" among all the allies against threats from the likes of China and Russia.
The new "Global Combat Air Programme" is slated to produce its first jets by 2035, merging the three nations' costly existing research into new aerial war technology, from stealth capacity to high-tech sensors.
"We're one of the few countries in the world that has the capability to build technologically advanced fighter aircraft," Sunak told reporters on a visit to a Royal Air Force base in eastern England.
"That's important because it means we can keep the country safe from the new threats that we face," he said. "It also adds billions to our economy and supports tens of thousands of jobs across the country. But it's also good for our international reputation." The announcement was accompanied by a set of images showing an artist's impression of the sleek new jets flying past Mount Fuji and over London and Rome.
In a joint statement, the three countries said the project would "accelerate our advanced military capability and technological advantage" at a time when "threats and aggression are increasing" worldwide.

Pirelli PZero Red takes to the streets of Monaco
7:59 PM PST - 5/26/2011 Written By: Pirelli Tire
Pirelli's new PZero Red supersoft tires made their debut at the Monaco Grand Prix circuit today with two free practice sessions around the tight and twisty confines of the 3.340-kilometre circuit.
On the track, the drivers also used the Pirelli PZero Yellow soft tires, particularly during the first session when Sebastian Vettel went quickest for Red Bull Racing with a time of 1m16.619s. Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was fastest in the second afternoon session, setting a time of 1m15.123s on the PZero Red tires, in temperatures that peaked at 27 degrees centigrade ambient and 45 degrees centigrade on the track. The new PZero red tires have red stripes on the sidewalls to make them easier to pick out on television this week.
The drivers used the session not just to assess the relative performance of the supersoft and soft tires, which turned out to be as expected within the region of 1.2-1.4 seconds per lap, but also the durability of the tires around the demanding and slippery Monte Carlo circuit.
Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel completed 22 laps on the supersoft in the afternoon while the soft tires are expected to provide a two to three stop strategy on race day.
Today's free practice session was crucial to prepare for qualifying on Saturday: a vital key to success in Monaco as six out of the last seven grands prix in the Principality have been won from pole position.
After today's sessions Pirelli was privileged to host a very special guest in the team hospitality unit: Prince Albert of Monaco, the sovereign of the Principality. Prince Albert met with Pirelli's Chief Operations Officer Francesco Gori at the team's new motorhome, signing the Pirelli visitor's book.
Pirelli's Motorsport Director Paul Hembery commented: "We were absolutely delighted to welcome Prince Albert to our hospitality: as the sovereign of Monaco he hosts a fantastic show that quite rightly deserves its place as the highlight of the Formula One calendar. Today has given the teams some vital experience of running on our tires in unique conditions and we're very encouraged by both the performance and the durability of our tires here, on the debut for the supersoft. We look forward now to the all-important qualifying session on Saturday, where we will see which team gets the most out of their tires on the day and which strategies they are likely to run in the race."
Pirelli fact of the day
Pirelli's PZero Red supersoft tire has been described as being similar to qualifying tires, which used to be a regular feature of Formula One in the past. Pirelli's ultra-quick qualifying rubber helped to provide some giant-killing performances in the past, such as second place on the grid for Pierlugi Martini in a Minardi at the 1990 US Grand Prix, less than two-hundredths of a second off Gerhard Berger's pole time.

Health care is one of the most highly scrutinized and regulated industries in the country. A vast array of ever-changing and highly technical laws and regulations govern the U.S. health care system. Failure to comply with these complex regulations can have staggering consequences for health care providers, including criminal liability, loss of licensure, exclusion from the Medicare and Medicaid programs, and severe financial penalties. Since 1997, more than $15.6 billion has been returned to the Medicare program through government efforts to crack down on health care fraud. With federal regulators recovering $17 for every $1 they invest fighting health care fraud and abuse, it is no wonder that this industry continues to be at the forefront of enforcement activities.
Gray Plant Mooty health care and litigation attorneys work hand in hand to leverage their deep expertise to assist providers with the most cost-effective and efficient defense possible. With a team that includes both former government prosecutors and senior health care regulatory attorneys who have been practicing for over 20 years, the health care team is well-positioned to aid providers in all stages of any regulatory inquiry or investigation.


Summer Infant Baby Touch Digital Monitor has gained the positive feedback of users and mothers alike. Despite that it has only received a slightly better than average rating from most customers, it continues to be one of the most popular baby monitors on the market. Considering its top notch features and multifarious benefits, those who have purchased this item did not regret buying the Summer monitor. Even those who are not completely impressed with the Summer baby monitor still leave favorable feedback for some of it's outstanding features.
From a bird's eye view, the following are noted to be the positive reviews made by the customers of the said product.
It has a scanning feature. Unlike other baby monitors which only provide a stationary or static scan, Summer monitor allows a thorough scanning of both video and audio. It switches from room to room and you can actually see and hear your baby's activities in each room. This is specifically beneficial if you have multiple rooms or if you have more than one kid to monitor. If you compare this with other lesser quality baby monitors, audio scanning does not function as well as expected since it stops on the last room where the camera was last set.
It has clear and crisp sound. You can even hear the most subtle sound in your baby's room. Therefore, you are rest assured that whatever your kid will be asking or mumbling about, you can hear them. What is even more adorable about it is that if your kid asks for his mommy or daddy even in muffled sounds, you can hear them right away.
Long range connection. It is not an issue if your babies' room is hundreds of feet away from your own room. Distance is not an issue with Summer monitor. And despite even a long distance, you are still secured of its high video and sound quality.
Wireless camera. It offers mobility and ease of use. Thus, you can place it on a table and it can still effectively monitor your children plus it provides an added feature: talk back feature for you to hush and lullaby your baby to sleep. Its modern technology therefore allows more feature for more interactive conversation between parent and child if needed.
The positioning of "TALK" and "POWER" button. There is a high likelihood to accidentally press the Power button instead of the Talk button because Talk button is positioned just next to the Power button. However, by itself, it does not regard the Summer monitor to be a flop. A minor change in this area will be good though.
In general, the Summer Infant monitor is a great baby monitor for your nursery. It has been set to its highest standards so parents can be assured that it will help them in watching over their kids. It is a brand that has been around a long time and has been heavily relied on for it's performance.

DOGS SIGN 2x CWS CHAMP, 1ST-ROUND PICK
The Saltdogs signed two-time College World Series champion and former first-round pick Mitch Canham.
Canham helped lead Oregon State to CWS titles in 2006 and 2007 before being drafted in the first round by the San Diego Padres.
The 30-year old catcher has hit .253 with 26 home runs and 259 RBI over 606 games in eight professional seasons, reaching as high as Triple-A.
Canham earned Texas League All-Star honors at the mid-season mark in 2013, and went on to play briefly with the Omaha Storm Chasers.
A Richland, Wash. native, Canham has professional experience at the corner infield and corner outfield positions as well.
He spent 2014 playing for Double-A Harrisburg in the Washington Nationals organization, playing in 35 games.
This will be Canham's second stint in the independent ranks, after hitting .253 in 64 games for Long Island (Atlantic) in 2012.
DOGS SIGN RHP ARNESON, TRADE LHP BARHAM
Lincoln also signed 26-year old RHP Zach Arneson, a former ninth-round pick of the New York Yankees.
Arneson, who hails from Bakersfield, Calif., has a career 6-5 record with a 4.89 ERA. The 6-foot-2 hurler has struck out 94 batters in 88 1/3 innings.
The Saltdogs traded LHP Trey Barham to Southern Maryland (Atlantic) for a player to be named later.
Barham went 3-1 with a 4.78 ERA in 37 games of relief for the Saltdogs in 2014.

Dallas Mavericks Apprentice Laura Sorto's Path to Working in Sport Public Relations
SPMA
After doing a little research on public relations departments across the world of sport, we zeroed in on the Dallas Mavericks. The reason being: they seem to genuinely care about media needs. Plus, we are Shark Tank fans and of course, their owner is Mark Cuban. Laura Sorto's official title is Basketball Communications Apprentice. In other words, Laura is the seasonal public relations intern for the basketball operations communications department.
What this means is that she's at every shoot-around and practice to help with media availability. Also, she assists with game notes, updating stats before and after games, facilitating interviews, and working game nights. Cool right?
We chatted with Laura Sorto and asked specific questions about her career in sport public relations. We can't wait to share the path Laura has paved to get into the sport industry.
Tell us about your role with the Mavs.
Sure. My current title is Basketball Communications Apprentice which essentially means I'm the seasonal public relations intern for the basketball operations communications department. I started in September of last year but am transitioning into a different role now.
During the season I helped with the day to day operations so that meant being at every shootaround and practice to help with media availability, helping out with game notes, updating stats before and after games, facilitating interviews, and working game nights.
You went to the University of Texas. Can you tell us how your education helped in your path towards a career in sport public relations?
Yes, so I actually graduated from two programs, one degree was a bachelor of science in advertising and my minor was in sports media and the second was a bachelors of science in kinesiology in physical culture in sports.
I'd say it helped a lot, especially with introducing media relations in sports to me, but I'd say that my internship within the athletics communications department at Texas was actually what got I am now.
Can you give specific examples of how what you learned in school has helped you at the workplace?
Of course, I'd say that I just got a better understanding of what an SID (sports information director) does in athletic communications and what public relations/communications professionals do on a day to day basis.
Everything I learned from being a student assistant was essential to what I do now with the Mavs. All media relations roles are basically the same, the only difference was that the Mavs role was specific to basketball whereas at UT I worked with every varsity sport.
But it's crucial to get experience while in college, especially if you're serious about breaking into sports PR world after college.
Tell us about your passion for sport.
I'd say I'm a sports "fan" and have always enjoyed watching and following sports but I was never really interested in pursuing a career in it until I found out about sports PR in a class. It somehow seemed to be a perfect fit, a mix between communications and sports.
I've always wanted to work in communications, so I'd say that I somehow found sports along the way.
I actually grew up in the Dallas area so growing up I was a huge fan of the Mavericks, Dallas Cowboys and even the Texas Longhorns. I'm just one of the lucky few that somehow has the opportunity to work at their childhood NBA team so it was a bit harder to stay professional during certain games haha.
What's the hardest part about working in public relations at the Dallas Mavericks and how do you balance work-life?
I love those two questions because I'd say that the hardest part, especially during the season, is balancing our life outside of work. It's not a normal 9-5 job where we go in and leave at a certain time because we work around the "basketball" schedule. I'd say the balance comes in after the season (like right now). Without any games to get ready for until September, I have a much more relaxed schedule.
We have all definitely sacrificed time with family and friends, weekends and holidays, but at the end of the day, it's a very very fun job and worth it in the end.
SPMA Thoughts
An education in Sport Management isn't the only path you can take to establish a career in the sport industry. Laura is a great example of someone who took a different path.
Laura's role with the Dallas Mavericks as Basketball Communications Apprentice begins her career in sport. In a few months, check media guides of professional teams across North America and you may happen to see Laura Sorto on it.

Greenwich home damaged after chimney fire spreads

GREENWICH — Two residents escaped early Sunday morning from a fire that severely damaged their home.
The fire started around 5:15 a.m. in the chimney of the house on Schubert Lane in Cos Cob, Deputy Chief Thomas Zack said. Flames quickly spread to the attic and second floor, he said.
The homeowners fled the house before firefighters arrived, Zack said. No one was injured.
Firefighters took about 25 minutes to get the flames under control and then tried to salvage items for the family, Zack said. The home is not habitable due to extensive water damage in the house and significant fire damage in the attic, he said. The residents denied assistance from Red Cross, he said.
Five engines from Central, Cos Cob, Byram, North Street and Sound Beach stations responded and were on scene for about an hour, Zack said.
The fire marshal is investigating the cause of the incident, including whether there was a fire in the fireplace before the flames spread, Zack said.

When it comes to versatility, chain link fences are the clear winner above all of the other fencing types. It can be used in almost any situation from a quiet backyard in a small town to a high security government installation.
Price – Chain link is one of the most affordable fencing options on the market.
Easy installation – Although using an expert to install your fence is always a good idea, many homeowners have been able to install a chain link fence on their own without difficulty.
Security – Chain link is not as secure as a solid slab of steel but you are able to see through it. In a lot of situations, being able to see what is happening on the other side is just as important as keeping things out.
Sports fields and facilities – The next time that you go to a football or baseball field, take a look around and notice how much chain link you can see. It is used all over the facilities for a variety of reasons. When you are selling tickets to games it will help to separate the paying from the non paying customers. It is often used to help layout the various areas so that the seating areas are kept separate from the player areas.
High security facilities – Chain link is usually the first line of defense in a high security area. It lets people know that they are not allowed beyond a certain area. Plus, if they take the time to try and cut through or climb the fence, it gives security personnel plenty of time to apprehend them.


Herman Cain is sick of stimulus. He's also sick of debt, ObamaCare, spending, and big government, among other things. He wants you to tell him what you're sick of at his website, sickofstimulus.com.
The man makes his point, no question about that. But I feel like most people will be more focused on the fact that a BUNNY WAS KILLED in his ad. While I'm sure that rabbit is somewhere munching on carrots and outsmarting Daffy, Mr. Cain should probably get ready to receive a few thousand angry letters from PETA.
Wait, That Microphone Was On The Whole Time?
There are much worse things the microphones could've caught him saying, but Obama is basically saying that his re-election is more important than international issues like missile defense. At least he didn't say anything he might regret about another world leader…oh wait, that already happened. Good times.

MIAMI -- A woman performing the national anthem before an NBA preseason game between the 76ers and Heat on Friday night did so while kneeling at midcourt, and she opened her jacket to show a shirt bearing the phrase Black Lives Matter.The singer was identified by the Miami Heat as Denasia Lawrence, who called the Black Lives Matter movement a rallying cry while explaining her decision to kneel in a Facebook post early Saturday.Were being unjustly killed and overly criminalized, Lawrence wrote. I took the opportunity to sing and kneel to show that we belong in this country and that we have the right to respectfully protest injustices against us.Heat players and coaches stood side by side for the anthem, with their arms linked, as has been their custom during the preseason. Many had their heads down as Lawrence sang, and the team released a statement saying it had no advance knowledge that she planned to kneel.We felt as a basketball team that we would do something united, so that was our focus, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. Throughout all of this, I think the most important thing that has come out is the very poignant, thoughtful dialogue. Weve had great dialogue within our walls here, and hopefully this will lead to action.The anthem issue has been a major topic in the sports world in recent months, starting with the decision by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to not stand for its playing. Kaepernick cited racial injustice and police brutality among the reasons for his protest, and athletes from many sports -- and many levels, from youth all the way to professional -- have followed his lead in various ways.All I can say is what weve seen in multiple preseason games so far is our players standing for the national anthem, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in New York earlier Friday, at a news conference after the leagues board of governors meetings. It would be my hope that they would continue to stand for the national anthem. I think that is the appropriate thing to do.The NBA has a rule calling for players and coaches to stand during the anthem.Heat guard Wayne Ellington often speaks about the need to curb gun violence, after his father was shot and killed two years ago. He had his eyes closed for most of the anthem Friday, as per his own custom, though he was aware of Lawrences actions.At the end of the day, to each his own, Ellington said. If she feels like thats the way she wants to stand for it, then more power to her.Making a statement in the manner that Lawrence did Friday is rare, but not unheard of in recent weeks.When the Sacramento Kings played their first home preseason game earlier this month, anthem singer Leah Tysse dropped to one knee as she finished singing the song.Tysse is white. Lawrence is black.I love and honor my country as deeply as anyone yet it is my responsibility as an American to speak up against injustice as it affects my fellow Americans, Tysse wrote on Facebook. I have sung the anthem before but this time taking a knee felt like the most patriotic thing I could do. I cannot idly stand by as black people are unlawfully profiled, harassed and killed by our law enforcement over and over and without a drop of accountability. ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Devan Dubnyk was on edge as the final 35 seconds ticked off.That seems odd for someone who has been as cool as can be for three straight games.Dubnyk stopped 29 shots for his third straight shutout and 22nd of his career as the Minnesota Wild beat the Dallas Stars 4-0 on Saturday night.Usually when it gets to a 4-0 game youre happy with the win and if the shutout happens, great. But you dont really get nervous, he said. That was probably the first time I started to get a little nervous toward the end of a 4-0 game. But its fun.Mikael Granlund, Nino Niederreiter, Eric Staal and Tyler Graovac scored for Minnesota, which improved to 6-2-1.Dubnyk didnt have to make any spectacular saves in establishing a new personal best scoreless stretch of 180 minutes. Hes stopped 94 straight shots. The last goal he allowed was in overtime last Saturday.I dont know if he can do it for 73 more games, but right now hes doing very well, said Wild coach Bruce Boudreau.Dallas, which has just four goals in its last four games, hit the post twice.We know what we do well when were playing well, said Jason Spezza, who returned after missing two games. But this year weve had not the results we want, so we have to get back to finding our game and be a little more consistent with it.A key to the Wilds early-season success has been offensive contributions from all players. Eighteen players have accounted for Minnesotas 32 goals and a league-best 18 now have points.Granlund added his name to that goal list to give Minnesota a 1-0 lead in the first with the Wilds first short-handed goal of the season.Off a turnover by Jason Spezza, Mikko Koivu deked John Klingberg with a toe drag in the Dallas zone before centering to Granlund, who tucked the puck behind Kari Lehtonen. Granlund was the only Wild player to appear in all the teams previous eight games without scoring.Lehtonen fiinished with 11 saves.ddddddddddddWe got to be better on the power play and not give up that short-handed goal, and try to at least get momentum if were not going to score, said captain Jamie Benn.Dallas had a 13-1 advantage in second-period shots.Dubnyk wasnt worried.I know that at some point were going to play, and were going to play the way we need to and thats exactly what happened, he said. We go out there and again for the third straight game we have a great third period when we have a lead and we get some big goals.Niederreiter gave the Wild a 2-0 lead early in the third with a wrist shot from the left circle, before Staal and Graovac scored less than three minutes apart. Graovacs goal was the first of his career.I know I had a lot of family watching that game, said Graovac, called up from Iowa of the AHL earlier in the day. Its not just me scoring that goal. Its my aunts, uncles, grandmother, my parents back home. Its just something very special for all of us that we can all enjoy.Graovac was sent back down to Iowa after the game.Minnesota played its first of what could be many games without left wing Zach Parise and defenseman Marco Scandella. The team announced before the game that both are listed as week-to-week with lower-body injuries sustained Thursday in Buffalo.Game notes Dallas RW Jiri Hudler returned after missing five contests with an illness. . RW Christoph Bertschy was also recalled from Iowa and sent back down after the game. The Wild sent down LW Teemu Pulkkinen. ... Dallas reassigned forward Justin Dowling to AHL Texas. ... Wild D Jared Spurgeon returned after missing four games with a lower-body injury.UP NEXTStars: At Columbus on Tuesday night to conclude a three-game trip.Wild: Host Buffalo on Tuesday night. ' ' '
