The lofty ideal of President John F. Kennedy that “race has no place in American life or law” and the dream of Martin Luther King for the day when the color of his children’s skin would be subordinate to their character have been replaced by chants that we must “celebrate our diversity.” Diversity has become a widely accepted excuse to discriminate on the basis of whatever factors specific agencies deem appropriate. This rush to “diversity” is diminishing freedom, obliterating the principle of individual merit, creating a regulatory burden for the private sector, dividing Americans, and weakening the competitiveness of our nation in the world marketplace. Few policies have had the reach, immortality and consequences of Affirmative Action. As a policy that could be justified when it was originated, affirmative action has become yesterday’s solution to yesterday’s problem. Yet, it endures as if nothing has happened since the concept was introduced over fifty years ago. There is an interracial man – although self-identified “African-American” – occupying the White House; blacks are on our courts, including the highest court in the land; blacks are mayors of major cities, and heads of American corporations. Notwithstanding all this, President Obama recently signed an Executive Order (13583) “to promote Diversity and Inclusion in the Federal Workforce.” The irony is that few institutions in America are more “diverse” and “inclusive” than the Federal Government. For example, 17% of the federal workforce con- sists of blacks, but blacks are roughly 13% of the U.S. population. The White Male Exclusion Act In addition to the president’s Executive Order, included in the Dodd-Frank “Financial Regulatory Reform Act” is a section (342) that should rightfully be called the “White Male Exclusion Act.” This section establishes an “Office of Building Minority and Women Inclusion” with responsibility for ensuring “diversity Building in management, employment and business activities” in all federal financial regulatory agencies.

  • Nueva Mordida De La Serpiente Blanca
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown El CD Forevermore, de Whitesnake, nos pone ante una banda aguerrida.Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:13 pm Nueva mordida de la serpiente blanca Publicado: Miércoles 21 septiembre 2011 | 09:37:42 pm. Publicado por: Joaquín Borges-Triana Después de tres años de la salida al mercado del disco titulado Good to be bad, el vocalista David Coverdale y su tropa de Whitesnake vuelven a la carga en el presente 2011. El pasado 25 de marzo fue puesto en circulación a nivel mundial el fonograma denominado Forevermore, decimoprimero en la carrera de esta vieja agrupación británica que, pese al tiempo transcurrido desde su aparición y a los muchos cambios de alineación en su nómina, persiste en reinventarse una y otra vez. Desde que uno empieza a escuchar los 14 temas recogidos en el CD, se da cuenta de que este es un material con profundo sabor retro, pletórico en reminiscencias de álbumes grabados por el ensemble entre fines de los 70 y la década de los 80. En tal sentido, cabe afirmar que estamos ante un puñado de composiciones e interpretaciones signadas por un sonido gordo y cortante, con una base rítmica bien empastada. Asimismo, es evidente que Coverdale y sus compañeros de grupo se propusieron al enfrentarse a la producción de este nuevo fonograma, hacer un retorno a lo que pudiera definirse como una propuesta del más clásico rock y blues metalero. Con una actual nómina en la que acompañan al vocalista David Coverdale los guitarristas Doug Aldrich y Reb Beach, así como el baterista Brian Tichy, Michael Devin en el bajo y el teclista Brian Ruedy, Forevermore se inicia con Steal your heart away, corte cuya introducción me lleva a evocar los tiempos ya lejanos de Love Hunter, uno de los trabajos discográficos de la banda que más he disfrutado personalmente, junto al afamado 1987.

  • Makes It Easy to Find Manuals Online!
    Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Photo © Jay Banbury From Jim Marshall I am really pleased that you have chosen this 1959RR Randy Rhoads Signature Series Super Lead 100W head. It is only the fourth signature amplifier that we have produced and I feel it is a great addition to this select range. I first met Randy when he came to the factory in January 1980. He had not long ago joined Ozzy Osbourne and they were working on their first album. He came here knowing exactly what he was looking for, he just needed to find the amplifier that was going to be capable of delivering the power, the tone, and the reliability that he wanted, but was also in keeping with the image that he was to be recognised by. Randy almost found everything he was searching for in a standard 1959 head, but the tone was not quite right. He spent some time with my Service Manager, explaining the slight difference he was looking for, and after a few trials we were able to fit a modification which made the subtle change to the standard tone of the 1959. Randy left the factory to proudly stand in front of his white Marshall stack for all of his hugely successful, but sadly too brief career with Ozzy Osbourne. In this time the legendary guitarist could be seen by thousands of fans, performing in front of his Marshall stack – a sight to behold and a triumphant assault on the ears. Our design team have spent many hours investigating the original Randy Rhoads amplifier, speaking to the Randy Rhoads family, talking to people who knew Randy and heard him play, and talking to the Service Manager who was at the factory when Randy came in and made the modification to the amplifier.

  • Dust Bowl Meets Great Depression
    DUST BOWL MEETS GREAT DEPRESSION Environmental Tools and Tales of the Dust Bowl By Eliza Williams "When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect." —Aldo Leopold, 1948 Submitted to Professor Linda Gerstein In Partial fulfillment of the requirements of History 400: Senior Thesis Seminar 22 April 2011 41 st Anniversary of Earth Day ABSTRACT In the 1930s the Great Depression and a severe drought and dust storms rocked the U.S. A decade and a half before, the First World War marked a period of rising global wheat demand, and the Great Plains became an international breadbasket. American farmers met the demand and turned the region into a one-crop resource. The droughts of the early 1930s would further devastate the Plains topsoil, as farmers continued to break the sod and strove to top the yields of the war years. High winds took hold of the dry, overworked soil, now reduced to a fine powder, whipping up dangerous dust storms that transformed farmland into desert, and left thousands homeless and desperate. Inhabitants of the Plains, now termed the Dust Bowl, reacted to harsh conditions by attempting to combat nature, for the land ethic at the time was such that humans thought themselves stronger than and able to defeat the environment, rather than being part of it. At the same time, the Stock Market Crash of 1929 created domestic turmoil and international calamity, and the nation had to confront two unrelated crises simultaneously. With more than 15 million Americans unemployed, President Franklin Roosevelt sought to bolster American morale and unity through his ambitious New Deal, which enacted sweeping social and economic changes.

  • Galicia's Carlos Nuñez, 'The Jimi Hendrix of The
    MUSIC & NIGHTLIFE | Posted on Fri, Jan. 31, 2014 | Article Page 1 of 2 Galicia’s Carlos Nuñez, ‘the Jimi Hendrix of the bagpipes,’ plays here Wednesday By Fernando Gonzalez | Special to the Miami Herald Carlos Nuñez is far more than “the Jimi Hendrix of the bagpipes,” or the “the seventh Chieftain,” an honorary member of the legendary traditional Irish band. But if you happen to be the modern master of the gaita, the bagpipe of Galicia, a region in the northwest corner of Spain, maybe such barker’s calls help make new audiences stop and look. The truth is richer. Nuñez is a classically trained multi-instrumentalist. (He also plays flute, recorder, whistles and a number of traditional instruments.) And he is both a traditionalist and an innovator, playing a key role in preserving the gaita, an instrument that is a symbol of Galician culture yet was once fading to extinction. His collaborations speak to the universality of this instrument and the possibilities for its future. Over the years Nuñez has collaborated with The Carlos Nuñez plays the gaita, the bagpipe of Galicia. Chieftains, Ry Cooder, Compay Segundo, Mike Scott of The Waterboys and Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as flamenco guitarists and Sufi singers from Tangier. His 1996 debut recording, A Irmandade Das Estrelas (The Brotherhood of Stars), an improbable platinum seller in Spain, featured more than 50 guests. “Collaborations are my modus operandi,” says Nuñez who begins his new North American tour at the Coral Gables Congregational Church on Wednesday night. “It´s a philosophy that comes from traditional music — especially Celtic music.
