Opinion/Editorial [email protected] November 3, 2008 2 Segerstrom High School The student parking lot has been moved. Is there a point to this move? No. The new student parking lot is in the midst of the worst parent traffic of Segerstrom Press Staff the school. My personal driving time has increased by ten minutes with the Chloe Mercado Content Editor-in-Chief move. It is also almost impossible to leave the school in a timely fashion, Jennifer Lai Design Editor-in-Chief meaning between 2:50 and 3:00. While I understand that with the larger Grace Huynh Associate Editor Senior and Junior classes there is a need for more student parking, I do Fabiola Vega Associate Editor not think the solution is to pack student drivers into one of the most crowded areas of the My Nguyen Nguyen Cartoonist/Staff Writer parking lot, where parents come in and out to drop off students. I also understand that there Lydia Julian Photographer needs to be a parking lot available in case there is an event held by the school district, during Ms. Sotolongo Adviser school hours. However, it seems pointless to me to move the parking lot, thereby adding drive time to students schedule for the approximately six cars who now park in the former student Staff Writers parking lot. A solution to this would be to open both parking lots to students and allow them Sana Ahmad Carolyn Le to choose which parking lot to park in. Or, if there is going to be an event held at school for Karen Alvarez Austin Nguy Editor’s Corner Editor’s which they need an open parking lot they could announce it to the students and have them Joseph Anderson Melissa Rodriguez park elsewhere.

    Transcript: Song & Music in the Movement A Conversation with Candie Carawan, Charles Cobb, Bettie Mae Fikes, Worth Long, Charles Neblett, and Hollis Watkins, September 19 – 20, 2017. Tuesday, September 19, 2017 Song_2017.09.19_01TASCAM Charlie Cobb: [00:41] So the recorders are on and the levels are okay. Okay. This is a fairly simple process here and informal. What I want to get, as you all know, is conversation about music and the Movement. And what I'm going to do—I'm not giving elaborate introductions. I'm going to go around the table and name who's here for the record, for the recorded record. Beyond that, I will depend on each one of you in your first, in this first round of comments to introduce yourselves however you wish. To the extent that I feel it necessary, I will prod you if I feel you've left something out that I think is important, which is one of the prerogatives of the moderator. [Laughs] Other than that, it's pretty loose going around the table—and this will be the order in which we'll also speak—Chuck Neblett, Hollis Watkins, Worth Long, Candie Carawan, Bettie Mae Fikes. I could say things like, from Carbondale, Illinois and Mississippi and Worth Long: Atlanta. Cobb: Durham, North Carolina. Tennessee and Alabama, I'm not gonna do all of that. You all can give whatever geographical description of yourself within the context of discussing the music. What I do want in this first round is, since all of you are important voices in terms of music and culture in the Movement—to talk about how you made your way to the Freedom Singers and freedom singing.

  • Foreign Doctors and the Road to a Swedish Medical License Experienced Barriers of Doctors from Non- EU Countries
    Södertörn University | School of Life Sciences Global Development C | Bachelor Thesis 15 ETCS | Spring Term 2012 (Frivilligt: Programmet för Utvcekling och Internationellt samarbete) Foreign Doctors and the Road to a Swedish Medical License Experienced barriers of doctors from non- EU countries By: Solange Berleen Musoke Supervisor: Fred Saunders Sammanfattning Denna C-uppsats i Global Utveckling har tittat på personliga erfarenheter av icke-europeiska läkare som har migrerat till Sverige för att ta reda på vad de har stött på under processen av att skaffa svensk läkarlegitimation och om det finns tecken på diskriminering. Sverige har brist på läkare, men har inte tillgripit ”brain drain”. Tvärtemot är det svårt för icke-europeiska läkare att arbeta som läkare i Sverige. En kvalitativ forskningsstrategi har använts och fem icke-europeiska arbetslösa läkare som försökte få svenska läkarlegitimationer samt en icke-europeisk läkare som arbetade intervjuades. Empiriska data från ett seminarium med svenska läkare som handlade om processen som utländska läkare måste gå igenom för att kunna arbeta i Sverige har också använts i denna C- uppsats. Resultaten visade att läkare från icke-europeiska länder har strängare krav att uppfylla för att kunna arbeta som läkare i Sverige än läkare som kommer från europeiska länder. Systemet för att ta emot icke-europeiska läkare och validera deras kompetens var bristfällig. Processen var förvirrande, frustrerande och onödigt lång. Även om det inte fanns någon direkt diskriminering, så var europeiska läkare gynnade av systemet. Nyckelord: medicinsk migration, postkolonial teori, Sverige Abstract This thesis in Global Development has looked at the personal experiences of non-European medical doctors that have migrated to Sweden to find out what they have encountered during the process of trying to obtain a Swedish medical license and if there are signs of discrimination.

  • Kip Moore + LOCASH Are Joining the Back Waters Stage Lineup! Dubuque, IA - Kip Moore and LOCASH Added to the Back Waters Stage Lineup for 2018!
    Contact: Abby Ferguson | Marketing Manager 563-585-3002 | [email protected] March 14, 2018 - For Immediate Release Kip Moore + LOCASH are joining the Back Waters Stage lineup! Dubuque, IA - Kip Moore and LOCASH added to the Back Waters Stage lineup for 2018! Kip Moore with LOCASH and Special Guest Cale Dodds Saturday, June 2 Top Hits Include: “More Girls Like You,” “Beer Money” & “Something ‘Bout a Truck” Kip Moore often lies awake in bed at night. Melodies and lyrics swirl through his head. Sometimes they’ll dissipate as seamlessly as they first arrived. Other times, the singer-songwriter can do nothing but begin singing them aloud. It frees his ever- churning mind. It allows him to continually discover his own voice. It grounds him. Most importantly, for a man prone to bouts of self-doubt, it reassures Moore that his path is a righteous one. “I have a complete sense of calm right now,” the singer- songwriter says. “During this whole journey, as down as I’ve gotten at times, I’ve done this thing my way. I don’t have any regrets. I’m always looking ahead.” The journey Moore speaks to is a monumental one: from that of a struggling Nashville musician to a massive country superstar with his mammoth 2012 debut album Up All Night; and an artistic adventurer with 2015’s sonically bold and critically revered second effort, Wild Ones. Now Moore is set to release his most unflinching, distinct testimony yet: “I know how strong this record is. I know its capabilities,” Moore says of SLOWHEART, the country star’s evocative and profound third album due on September 8th.

I used to be the face of America, at least according to the painted cover of a once famous magazine. You’ll remember the picture if I show it to you: I’m the kid in the middle with the chipped tooth, a small flag planted in one young fist and a dying sparkler in the other; I’m sitting on a grassy hill with my family and some neighbors and the picture’s perspective is that of being just downhill looking up at us; our faces, still glowing with wonder, are all staring up into a darkening evening sky filled with fireworks which are, at that moment, in exact full neon blossom. Can’t find the likeness? Well, it was a long time ago and though some of us do, I guess most of us don’t, as children, much resemble our eventual adult selves. Anyway, the face of America wasn’t really me, it was our town, Somerville, they were referring to, back when this country was still knowable enough that one could imagine its true essence being found in such a small and simple space.

  • Lana Del Rey's
    THE B-SIDE Music, of all kinds, has always been an unshakeable force in bringing people together. In a world that too often feels disorienting — especially when we realize how independently we embark on each of our journeys — we look for things that ground us. Often, we fumble, searching for concrete anchors that bring us back to raw, unfiltered feeling in the day-to-day of subdued emotion. And, often, we exist quietly, looking for ways to physically synthesize what weʼre feeling. In all this uncertainty, Iʼve found that there are few things more exciting than finding someone who shares the same music as you, or finding a friend who can open up your eyes — and ears — to a whole new genre of sound. There are few things that make me as happy as knowing that, when you listen to something with someone else, youʼre being moved in the same way by the same thing. Thatʼs what music does for me. And thatʼs what The B-Side has done too. As U.C. Berkeleyʼs only online and print music magazine, weʼve created a small haven of sonic respite in a world that so often feels too large. In creating this community, we learned how to open our minds to discovery, trying out artists and sounds we werenʼt sure we would like. In creating this community, we grew as artists ourselves. We picked up cameras to shoot our first shows and spoke with musicians we looked up to on the phone. We pushed what we felt comfortable defining as artistry and showed the world.
