Michael Joe Jackson was indicted by a Santa Barbara County Grand Jury on April 21, 2004. The indictment was sealed, but it is presumed the charges in the indictment are similar to the child molestation charges in the complaint filed against Jackson on December 18, 2003. Jackson will be arraigned at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse in the city of Santa Maria on Friday morning, April 30, 2004. The Santa Maria Police Department SMPD!, SBSD, and the California Highway Patrol will handle security for the event, with mutual aid assistance from other area law enforcement agencies. At least90 local officers will be assigned to work the event. Approximately 1,200 spectators, including protesters, are expected to be present. Worldwide media coverage is again expected. The Santa Maria RA will have a limited presence in the law enforcement command center during this event to monitor any developments that may fall within FBI jurisdiction and to provide any additional support or resources needed by local law enforcement. The SMPD previously requested FBI involvement based on the belief that the Jackson court proceedings could represent a soft target for terrorism due to the worldwide media coverage the case is receiving. There is no intelligence indicating a threat of a terrorist act targeting this event.

  • 10 Life Lessons from Navy SEAL Admiral Mcraven's Amazing Commencement Speech Naval Adm
    10 Life Lessons From Navy SEAL Admiral McRaven's Amazing Commencement Speech Naval Adm. William H. McRaven Below is an abbreviated transcript of his speech: The University’s slogan is, “What starts here changes the world.” I have to admit—I kinda like it. “What starts here changes the world.” Tonight there are almost 8,000 students graduating from UT. That great paragon of analytical rigor, Ask.Com says that the average American will meet 10,000 people in their lifetime. That’s a lot of folks. But, if every one of you changed the lives of just ten people—and each one of those folks changed the lives of another ten people—just ten—then in five generations—125 years—the class of 2014 will have changed the lives of 800 million people. 800 million people—think of it—over twice the population of the United States. Go one more generation and you can change the entire population of the world—8 billion people. If you think it’s hard to change the lives of ten people—change their lives forever—you’re wrong. I saw it happen every day in Iraq and Afghanistan. A young Army officer makes a decision to go left instead of right down a road in Baghdad and the ten soldiers in his squad are saved from close-in ambush. In Kandahar province, Afghanistan, a non-commissioned officer from the Female Engagement Team senses something isn’t right and directs the infantry platoon away from a 500 pound IED, saving the lives of a dozen soldiers.

  • Michael Jackson's Thriller
    MICHAEL JACKSON'S THRILLER Level: Intermediate to Advanced Time required: about 60 minutes SETTING THE ATMOSPHERE. Ask students some of these questions: • Do you believe in ghosts? Do you know any stories about ghosts? • Has anything ever happened to you that you cannot explain? • Do you believe that vampires or zombies exist? • What is the most frightening experience you have had? THE VIDEO. Ask students if they know who Michael Jackson was. Can they name any of his songs?

If you deem it appropriate, you can give students some information about this video like for example that it was voted the most influential pop video of all. More information about the video https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson%27s_Thriller_(music_video) The video lasts about 13 minutes. It is going to be divided into two parts, with a different task for each part . TASK 1 . Dictation (from the beginning to 4.40) Tell students they are going to see the first part of the video where there is a dialogue between Michael Jackson and his girlfriend. • Have the students work in pairs. Half the pairs in the class will write down the part of Michael Jackson and the other half the part of the girlfriend. • I suggest you give students the beginning of the dialogue as M. Jackson's first sentence might be difficult to understand M. Jackson: Honestly, we’re out of gas. Girlfriend: So, what are we going to do now? • You might need to play it twice.

  • John's Vision of Heaven Revelation 21-22 Characters: Narrator, John
    1 John’s Vision of Heaven Revelation 21-22 Characters: Narrator, John, Angel, Loud Voice, God, Jesus Narrator: John, one of the twelve disciples, had been exiled to the island of Patmos because he taught about Jesus. While on Patmos, God gave John a vision of the final days of earth, and a peak at heaven. In the vision, John saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down from heaven to the new earth, for the old earth had been destroyed. While the new city was coming down, John heard a loud voice: Loud Voice: Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and he will be there God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes; there will be no more death, crying, or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. God: I am making everything new! Write these words down, for they are trustworthy and true: It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I give water from the spring of life to those that are believers, but the unbelievers will get their water from a lake of fire. Angel: Come, John, let me show you the new city of heaven. Narrator: John and the angel went to the new Jerusalem, and the angel showed John around the city. The wall around the city was made out of gold and other fine jewels, and was 144 cubits (200 feet) thick, and 12,000 stadia (1,400 miles) in length.

  • 10 Life Lessons from Navy SEAL Training
    10 Life Lessons from Navy SEAL training Here are ten lessons from William H. McRaven’s 2014 commencement address, which I can highly recommend to watch. 10 Life Lessons from Basic SEAL training: 1. If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed. “If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.” 2. If you want to change the world, find someone to help you paddle. “You can’t change the world alone—you will need some help— and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them.” 3. If you want to change the world, measure a person by the size of their heart, not the size of their flippers. “SEAL training was a great equalizer. Nothing mattered but your will to succeed. Not your color, not your ethnic background, not your education and not your social status.” 4. If you want to change the world get over being a sugar cookie and keep moving forward. “Sometimes no matter how well you prepare or how well you perform you still end up as a sugar cookie.” “For failing the uniform inspection, the student had to run, fully clothed into the surfzone and then, wet from head to toe, roll around on the beach until every part of your body was covered with sand. The effect was known as a ‘sugar cookie.’ You stayed in that uniform the rest of the day — cold, wet and sandy.” “There were many a student who just couldn’t accept the fact that all their effort was in vain.

  • Azam Ali Loga Ramin Torkian Carmen Rizzo Satnam Ramgotra James Mahlis
    Friday, November 3 at 8pm, 2006 Bowker Auditorium NIYAZ Azam Ali Loga Ramin Torkian Carmen Rizzo Satnam Ramgotra James Mahlis Program will be announced from the stage Sponsored by Apple Computer, the Valley Advocate, The River 93.9FM and the UMass Amherst Campus Center Hotel About the Artists Three prominent artists, Azam Ali, best known as the vocalist of the successful world music group Vas, Loga Ramin Torkian, the multi-instrumentalist and composer for the critically acclaimed group Axiom of Choice, and Carmen Rizzo, a two time Grammy Award nominee producer/ remixer, have joined forces to create a globe-spanning sound that the trio calls "world music for the 21st century." Known collectively as Niyaz, which means yearning in both Farsi and Urdu, the trio's first eponymous release is a hypnotic, ecstatic, and eminently danceable album that represents the best of both traditional world music and electronic music. All three of these musicians have built impressive individual careers. Iranian born, Indian raised Azam Ali is internationally recognized for her work with Vas, the best- selling world music duo she co-founded in 1996 with percussionist Greg Ellis. In a career which spans over a decade and includes eight collaborative and solo albums, Azam Ali has confirmed her place as one of the most prolific, versatile, and gifted singers on the world music stage today. Billboard magazine has described her voice as, “a glorious, unforgettable instrument." Azam's dedication to defying cultural specificity in music, her unwillingness to settle into one form of musical expression, and her emotive performances on each of her albums have earned her not only the respect of her piers, but much critical acclaim and have solidified her place as a highly respected singer in the World music scene.
