"The end of the Cold War has coincided with the rise of multiculturalism in such a fashion that the influence of ethnic groups on the conduct of US foreign policy has become more pronounced and more legitimate than ever in the past. Shain's book is the first attempt to analyze at length what these changes mean for American foreign and domestic politics today and for world affairs in general. His clear and comprehensive survey, and the conclusions he draws from it, are sure to invite lively discussion and debate." Tony Smith, Tufts University
"Today concerns are growing about the greater diversity brought by recent immigrants and their ongoing close ties to their homelands. Yossi Shain provides an important argument that, from the standpoint of foreign policy, America still chooses best when it chooses to be inclusive." Rogers M. Smith, Yale University
"Yossi Shain boldly challenges the view that ethnic diversity and the growth of transnational ties are threats to the coherence of US foreign policy. Instead he shows that the values of freedom and pluralism are often diffused back into migrants' homelands. This is both a reassuring and unconventional finding which will create controversy and intense debate by political scientists, commentators and policy-makers." Robin Cohen, University of Warwick
"This is an extremely interesting, thorough, and important book. The book will be a key source and resource for students of these issues, and, because of the broad and important set of themes included, it stands as an important contribution to our understanding of diaspora politics." Diaspora
"...this book is a substantive contribution to the transnational study of diasporas." Journal of American Ethnic History
"This is a rosy and provocative thesis." Political Science Quarterly
"noteworthy book...[an] important contribution to the rapidly growing literature on diaspora politics." American Journal of Sociology
"...Recounts the historical impact of immigrant communities on U.S. foreign policy, trouncing the proposition that ethnic lobbyying on behalf of homeland causes has been somehow disloyal to the American national interest. Shain also persuasively traces the mostly laudatory work of establish U.S. diaspora communities, especially those from Eastern Europe,in bolstering transitional homeland democracies."

Parents Find Joke Letter from Litchfield Elementary School Principal Offensive; Principal Placed on Leave
Sometimes, jokes go too far -- especially when they're sarcastic letters distributed by a school principal about the ineptitude of students that land in the hands of pissed-off parents.
Ron Sterr, principal of Litchfield Elementary School, was trying to be funny when he sent a parody "field-trip-permission" letter to teachers last week berating students who didn't finish their homework and making sarcastic comments about the drastic measures the school must take to deal with peanut allergies. But one of the teachers apparently mistook the letter for a serious missive and sent it to students' parents.
Which brings up the question: who's the stupid one(s) at Litchfield?
Litchfield Elementary School District Superintendent Julianne Lein said the school district's been barraged with calls from angry parents. In a press release, Lein writes, "The Litchfield School District renders its most sincere apology to our students, parents, community and staff for this incident. We are taking specific steps to remedy this situation."

It is unclear who actually wrote the letter that Sterr sent, but he's the one placed on administrative leave.
So what's everybody so ticked off about? Check out the controversial letter, in its entirety, after the jump:
Turn off the TV for once and pay attention.
Regarding math:
The math we do is really easy. If your child is either too lazy or too stupid to finish it in class, I'm sending it home so that you can work with them and judge for yourself whether it is laziness or idiocy that inhibits your child's progress. We do part of it in class. How on earth they can NOT finish it is beyond me, but please help them with the part that we do NOT do in class. If your child is one of the mediocre few who excels on the homework, please congratulate them with a warm handshake or perhaps a halfhearted high-five, since finishing this homework is the equivalent of a twenty-year-old wanting to be congratulated for knowing how to tie his shoes.
Regarding Field trip lunches:
We have a peanut allergy in our room and a few in second grade in general. Because of this, everyone must eat nut-free foods. We also have a child who is mourning their puppy who got run over last week by a garbage truck, so we ask that no one wear anything resembling puppy fur, or that is red and flat. Further, one of our students has a nervous tick that causes him to slap himself in face several times a minute. In order to help this child not feel conspicuous, we ask that your child imitate a crazed masochist for the length of this field trip."
Punchy stuff indeed. Too bad nobody's laughing.

Living two dreams
[2012-08-02] The Umeå band Deportees seems to be loved by everyone – music enthusiasts as well as seasoned industry professionals. Peder Stenberg, the group's vocalist, successfully combines the role of group frontman with an academic career.
"I believe people listen and understand that our music is important. That it is about the present and created for just the right reasons," says Peder Stenberg.
That it became music seems almost inevitable. Peder Stenberg describes his childhood in Vindeln, fifty kilometres west of Umeå, as a perfect mix of opportunity and boredom. Umeå – a bus ride away – with a music scene that was always cooking with jazz, rock, punk, hardcore and pop, became a source of inspiration and a reason why Peder Stenberg, brother Anders and friends spent most of their time in the rehearsal room.
"I am grateful that I grew up in a small community, where you have to make things happen. It probably gave me the ability to take action," he says.
The hours in the rehearsal room increased, just like the gigs and in 2003 they created Deportees. He also dreamed of an academic career and studied theoretical philosophy at Umeå University. It continued with sociology, political science and ethnology. After twelve terms and four papers, he received a post graduate appointment.
Two dreams crowded into the same space. Deportees made it big and Peter tried to combine a life in elegant meeting rooms for recording companies with a doctoral studentship at Umeå University.
He speaks fondly of the boldness that marks ethnology as a subject – that you don't shy away from unusual subjects. He himself has studied cultures created in a virtual world – mainly in the online role playing game World Of Warcraft – including how networks are created, the driving forces that exist, the reward systems that are used and what the creation of meaning by players looks like.
Academics and music – two separate worlds that still have points in common about how to capture a phenomenon and a feeling, how to pinpoint an area and break the code...
A tour in Sweden and maybe overseas awaits, and in the fall of 2013 they plan to release their next album. Otherwise Peder Stenberg doesn't think too much about the future. Although the industry is pushing the band to live closer to Stockholm, members of the Deportees seem to be staying in Umeå.
"Many people who play here stay here; it is largely thanks to the people and the Scharinska stage with all the clubs and concerts that Umeå has such a unique music scene. I am not inclined towards celebrity parties. It is important to keep your feet on the ground, hang out with people you like and make the best music you can!
The title of Peder Stenberg's dissertation is: "The serious game: About World of Warcraft and leakage." Deportees were named Group of the Year by P3 Guld and received a grammy for Rock of the Year.

The Knife of the Party is a black-and-white short film starring Shemp Howard. The comedy was filmed at Van Beuren Studios and released by RKO Radio Pictures on February 16, 1934..
Shemp Howard and his Stooges[edit]
Shemp Howard makes an odd appearance as the lead stooge of four smack-around stooges. This act was presumably either cast by the filmmakers or a short-lived act put together by Shemp. Shemp had been the original third stooge of the Three Stooges until he left the act to be replaced by his brother Curly Howard, then returned after Curly retired in the wake of a series of strokes.
This feature appears on the Three Stooges DVD The Three Stooges: Greatest Hits and Rarities.

Improving Signal-to-noise In Risk Management 0 commentsJan 27, 2013 1:18 PM
This guest post comes courtesy of Jack Jones, principal of CXOWARE. He is also the author and creator of the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) Framework. Jones will be a speaker at The Open Group Conference in Newport Beach, California this week.
By Jack Jones, CXOWARE
One of the most important responsibilities of the information security professional (or any IT professional, for that matter) is to help management make well-informed decisions. Unfortunately, this has been an elusive objective when it comes to risk. Although we're great at identifying control deficiencies, and we can talk all day long about the various threats we face, we have historically had a poor track record when it comes to risk. There are a number of reasons for this, but in this article I'll focus on just one -- definition.
You've probably heard the old adage, "You can't manage what you can't measure." Well, I'd add to that by saying, "You can't measure what you haven't defined." The unfortunate fact is that the information security profession has been inconsistent in how it defines and uses the term "risk." Ask a number of professionals to define the term, and you will get a variety of definitions.
Besides inconsistency, another problem regarding the term "risk" is that many of the common definitions don't fit the information security problem space or simply aren't practical. For example, the ISO27000 standard defines risk as, "the effect of uncertainty on objectives." What does that mean? Fortunately (or perhaps unfortunately), I must not be the only one with that reaction because the ISO standard goes on to define "effect," "uncertainty," and "objectives," as follows:
- Effect: A deviation from the expected -- positive and/or negative
- Uncertainty: The state, even partial, of deficiency of information related to, understanding or knowledge of, an event, its consequence or likelihood
- Objectives: Can have different aspects (such as financial, health and safety, information security, and environmental goals) and can apply at different levels (such as strategic, organization-wide, project, product and process)
NOTE: Their definition for "objectives" doesn't appear to be a definition at all, but rather an example.
Practical Concern
Although I understand, conceptually, the point this definition is getting at, my first concern is practical in nature. As a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), I invariably have more to do than I have resources to apply. Therefore, I must prioritize and prioritization requires comparison and comparison requires measurement. It isn't clear to me how "uncertainty regarding deviation from the expected (positive and/or negative) that might affect my organization's objectives" can be applied to measure, and thus compare and prioritize, the issues I'm responsible for dealing with.
This is just an example though, and I don't mean to pick on ISO because much of their work is stellar. I could have chosen any of several definitions in our industry and expressed varied concerns.
In my experience, information security is about managing how often loss takes place, and how much loss will be realized when/if it occurs. That is our profession's value proposition, and it's what management cares about. Consequently, whatever definition we use needs to align with this purpose.
The Open Group's Risk Taxonomy (shown below), based on Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR), helps to solve this problem by providing a clear and practical definition for risk. In this taxonomy, Risk is defined as, "the probable frequency and probable magnitude of future loss."
The elements below risk in the taxonomy form a Bayesian network that models risk factors and acts as a framework for critically evaluating risk. This framework has been evolving for more than a decade now and is helping information security professionals across many industries understand, measure, communicate and manage risk more effectively.
In the communications context, you have to have a very clear understanding of what constitutes signal before you can effectively and reliably filter it out from noise. The Open Group's Risk Taxonomy gives us an important foundation for achieving a much clearer signal.
I will be discussing this topic in more detail next week at The Open Group Conference in Newport Beach. For more information on my session or the conference, visit: http://www.opengroup.org/newportbeach2013.
This guest post comes courtesy of Jack Jones, principal of CXOWARE. He is also the author and creator of the Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR) Framework. Jones will be a speaker at The Open Group Conference in Newport Beach, California this week.

The sunset makes for an erie glow on this wintry street. #snowpocalypse2
Snow piling up fast--just cleared cars covered again with a few inches. Should be interesting come morn. #snowverkill
A new layer of snow blankets the nation's capital before streets are plowed, cars are dug out, and dead trees are hauled away.
Thanks to a minor melting, this fire hydrant once again sees the light of day--barely, and not for long with round 2 underway.
Look at the size of these icicles on a second floor flower box. One set's already fallen, but the other's still hanging in there.
The crater left by a car, after its been dug out of an unplowed street.
Here's a pic of car that wasn't dug out, on an unplowed street. With the extra snow tonight, I'm not sure they'll be out by March!
This street was plowed once--its now passable but slushy, and will turn icy tonight. Apparently 20 percent of DC trucks are broken down.
On my walk today it was clear that streets and sidewalks that were steadily cleared ended up snowless. Meanwhile, my street looks like this--layers of ice at least 5in thick.
Remember the pile of snow that ha5 completely consumed this car in a previous pic? Well. The sun helped reveal some of it...just in time for round 2. #snowpocalypse2
That black truck is the only vehicle in sight that's cleared off...is the city open tomorrow? I'm not so sure. #snowpocalypse
Not much snow left clinging to this tree. But plenty on the ground...though the dripping has started. #snowpocalypse2
That's about 10 inches of snow on my window ledge. #snowpocalypse2
The meat case at Giant...it closes at 630pm tonight. Amazed its open at all. #snowpocalypse2
The snow creates art out of the strangest things. #snowpocalypse2
People on this street aren't going anywhere. No signs of a snowplaow, shoveling...no sign of life beneath the blanket of #snowpocalypse2.
This middle-aged tree is toast. #snowpocalypse2
Snow piled precariously on the sides of this truck. #snowpocalypse
This young tree is half buried by the DC #snowpocalypse
Some hardy soul started digging out their car...then gave up the ghost. #snowpocalypse2

Dallas Weight Loss Talk
As a little youngster, I moved to Texas at 6 years old. Our family originated from St. Louis and my dad was the Pastor of a neighborhood church in Oak Cliff, which was close Dallas Baptist University. Later, we moved to Lancaster and he lectured at Pleasant Run Baptist Church Dallas Nutrition.
This article will touch on some of my days in weight loss programs Dallas, and in addition give an enabling perspective on weight reduction. So in the event that you are searching for that immaculate self-perception, or basically attempting to stop the craziness of being so flabby, this article will demonstrate beneficial at last.
Then again perhaps you are attempting to get over a poor self-perception. Maybe you look for weight reduction tips or some quality Dallas weight loss program. Have you ever lived in Dallas? Consider how our past and our times in Dallas made recollections where it is simpler to get in shape – in light of the positive desires that we have with our recollections.
Those were incredible days as a child and my recollections incorporate the warmth, level terrains, Dallas Cowboys (would you be able to say Roger Staubach back to pass?) and numerous, numerous inviting individuals Dallas weight loss programs.
It was a straightforward time and we didn't have much cash yet we have Jesus in our souls and in our home and things couldn't have been something more. My more established sister was developing into secondary school and my sibling and I played in the area with the other neighborhood kids. Our autos were the Ford Station Wagon and Volkswagen Beatles.

MIAMI, Dec. 20 -- Tom Brady threw a dumb pass and A.J. Feeley threw a beauty, finally giving the Miami Dolphins something to savor in this long, miserable season: an upset of the New England Patriots.
With Brady's ugly interception providing an opening, Miami scored two touchdowns in the final 2 minutes 7 seconds to stun the Patriots, 29-28, on Monday night.
Sunday Indianapolis 20, Baltimore 10 Phila. 12, Dallas 7 N.Y. Jets 37, Seattle 14 San Diego 21, Cleveland 0 Minnesota 28, Detroit 27 Buffalo 33, Cincinnati 17 Houston 24, Chicago 5 Kansas City 45, Denver 17 Arizona 31, St. Louis 7 N.O. 21, Tampa Bay 17 Jacksonville 28, G.B. 25 Oakland 40, Tennessee 35
Monday Miami 29, New England 28
Two-Minute Drill Stats and stars of Week 15
The much-maligned Feeley threw for the game-winning score, a 21-yard touchdown pass to Derrius Thompson on fourth and 10 with 1:23 left.
The stunning victory rivaled the biggest in Dolphins history, because they've rarely been so woeful. With the win, Miami (3-11) avoided being swept by AFC East opponents this season.
"I keep asking everybody, 'Is it real?' " said linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo, who made the pivotal interception. "It's a big-time win. I can't believe it."
New England (12-2), which has already clinched the AFC East, lost ground to Pittsburgh (13-1) in the race for home-field advantage. The defeat was just the second in 29 games for the defending Super Bowl champions.
The Patriots appeared to clinch the win when Brady threw his third touchdown pass, a two-yarder to Daniel Graham for a 28-17 lead with 3:59 left.
"That's a situation we're usually pretty good in," Patriots Coach Bill Belichick said. "We weren't tonight. It wasn't about intensity. It was about execution."
The Dolphins drove 68 yards to score on Sammy Morris's one-yard run with 2:07 remaining, and then came Brady's uncharacteristic mistake.
On third down, he threw as he was being sacked by Jason Taylor. The ill-advised, off-balance pass sailed directly to Ayanbadejo, giving Miami a first down at the Patriots 21 with 1:45 to go.
Three plays later, on fourth and 10, Thompson beat Troy Brown -- a receiver who doubles as a fifth cornerback -- and made the winning catch in the end zone.
"We've been on the losing end of so many drives like that," Feeley said. "It feels good to come out on top."
Brady's fourth interception, a desperation throw picked off by Arturo Freeman with 58 seconds left, sealed the upset. The takeaways offset a 121-yard rushing performance by New England's Corey Dillon.
"We really didn't play that well defensively," Taylor said. "But we made enough plays to win the ballgame. That's all that matters."

Street Version of the Mercedes-AMG GT3 Spotted in Spain
The road-allowed version of the over-the-top Mercedes-AMG GT3 was recently spotted while undergoing testing in Spain. The prototype was under a heavy camo, but it was easily recognizable due to its curves and visible exterior components like the air intakes on its sides, exhaust tips, diffuser, grille, headlamps and wheels. The bulges in its lip spoiler, slope of its roofing, hood shape, and its overall length also bear a striking resemblance to the Mercedes-AMG GT. However, there were some noticeable updates in the car compared to the standard GT. One of them is the fixed rear wing. The fenders look wider too. Furthermore, there appears to be something protruding a bit on the sides of its… Continue Reading »

Voiced by Kathryn Beaumont, 1953
A mother is someone who cares for you. Wendy certainly does that for her brothers, and for a while, the Lost Boys too. She has a vivid imagination, and encourages her brothers to be creative and to have fun. At home, she tells stories of Peter Pan and...
A Disney Tale: A poor woodcutter, Geppetto, wishes on a star that his wooden puppet boy could be alive. A blue fairy grants his wish and the puppet, Pinocchio, is given life. On a series of adventures, he learns about right and wrong on his journey to becoming a real, human boy.
Disney Heroine: There is no real 'heroine' in this story and in fact, the only female characters are the Blue Fairy and Cleo the fish.
Disney Hero: Pinocchio is the 'hero' of the story, in as much as he is the main character. His heroic actions, though, don't really occur until the final...
A Disney Tale: A young princess narrowly avoids death on the command of her evil stepmother. She shacks up with a group of mining dwarves but the stepmother finds her and puts her to sleep with a poisoned apple. The dwarves put her inside a glass coffin until a prince comes and kisses her, releasing her from the spell to live happily ever after.
Disney Heroine: Snow White is the first Disney princess, but having viewed this around the same time as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty (my daughter is going through a Disney Princess phase) I would argue that those princesses are what we...
I thought the TV show Once A Upon A Time would be a good show to get into since ABC is owned by Disney, I thought it would give me something in common with other people my age. We can't get Netflix however, so I had to buy them from Target costing me over $50 for just the first two seasons. I am almost six seasons behind. To my surprise I liked the Belle and Rumple episode, though Belles eye color is wrong. They call Captain Hook Captain Swan, he is abusive towards Emma Swan. The adults in the group knew the teens in the group got into an argument with the few adults in the group, including...
Hi all,

This just in. The British actor who played Eddie Valiant in Disney's "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" has died. He was at age 71. Bob Hoskins was one of my favorite actor in this Disney film. Roger Rabbit will never be the same without you, Eddie Valiant. Other roles that Bob Hoskins played was Mario Mario in the Super Mario Bros. Movie. In 2012, He went to retirement from Parkinson's disease and died from Pneumonia on April of 2014. R.I.P. Bob Hoskins (1942-2014) You will be missed :'(

happycostumer221 Review
I bought this case after I got my another case (BasAcc Purple with White Bumper TPU Case for Apple iPhone 5)from O.co, I'm not unhappy but I'm not excited about this item because it doesn't offer full protection like the above mentioned case offers... With this one the buttons on the side and top of my iPhone are uncovered so it could get scratches if you are not careful and if you drop the phone for sure you won't have case anymore, the other ones covers everything on the sides and keeps the phone safe and if you drop the phone there's no way to break this case because is made of silicone and flexible plastic... Plus the other one is now cheaper... I got it for $$ dollars and I was super happy with my buy, now it is $$!!! A real steal!!! For the results!!!

A Dangerous Method
- Directed by David Cronenberg
===Story=== ''A Dangerous Method'' protrays the true life events of a decade long relationship between three pioneers of modern thought and founders of psychoanalysis, Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, and Sabina Spielrein. Through the discovery of Spielrein's diaries and correspondence with Freund and Jung, the film is able to reveal somewhat unknown aspects of these individuals' lives. Justice is accomplished in the meticulous care paid not only to the behaviors and intricaies of each character, but also to the individual and cultural views of human behavior as the pioneers explored varying thoughts about how to interpret these behaviors. ===DVD Features===

DeVos Family now funding mostly out of state elections through PACs
According to data from the Center for Responsive Politics, the DeVos Family has shifted their political donations from Republican Presidential candidates to Political Action Committee, mostly operating outside of Michigan.
Richard and Helen DeVos have contributed the most, but all of their children and their spouses are also major contributors as of June of this year. Many of the DeVos Family members had been making sizable contributions to Republican Presidential candidates like Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Carly Fiorina. However, as these GOP candidates dropped out, the DeVos Family then shifted their funds to the Republican National Committee, Freedom Partners and American Crossroads.
In the Grand Rapids area, DeVos Family members were the Top 46 contributors in the current electoral cycle, ranging from $50,000 with each contribution, to half a million for each contribution. The most recent donation was in June of 2016, which means it is likely that they will contribute a million or more before the November election.
You can see in the graphic above how this election cycle has resulted in significantly larger contributions, since we are in the Citizens United era.
The three top recipients of the money from West Michigan, mostly from the DeVos Family, have all received $1,000,000 or more in contributions. The Republican National Committee has received $1,537.805, the Freedom Partners Action Fund has received $1,500,000 and American Crossroads has received $1,000,000 so far in the current election cycle.
According to SourceWatch, "Freedom Partners describes itself as a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(6) chamber of commerce that promotes the benefits of free markets and a free society. Koch Industries issued a press release stating that Freedom Partners is legally separate from the corporation, but Freedom Partners is controlled by Koch loyalists such as Marc Short. Politico describes the group as the Koch brothers' secret bank. Additionally, a document discovered after the winter 2014 donor meeting revealed extensive one-on-one meetings between donors and representatives of the political, corporate, and philanthropic wings of the Koch world."
Freedom Partners is currently directing most of their funds to Senate battles in the following states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Indiana and Nevada. However, Freedom Partners also provides funding for national groups like the Heritage Foundation and the US Chamber of Commerce, along with local groups like the West Michigan Policy Forum. This is another way for the DeVos Family to contribute to West Michigan political organizations, without it being well know that they are the primary funders.
Again, according to SourceWatch, "American Crossroads is a conservative Super PAC created in 2010 by right-wing political operatives and advised by Karl Rove and former RNC chairman Ed Gillespie to support Republican candidates. Thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court's January 2010 Citizens United decision and the related decision in Speechnow.org v. FEC, Super PACs like American Crossroads can legally advocate for or against political candidates without restrictions on the amount of money they can raise from individuals and corporations."
American Crossroads is also closely connected to the US Chamber of Commerce, coordinating strategic efforts and political ad buys in several states throughout the country. American Crossroads is led by President and CEO Stephen Law, a former chief lawyer for the Chamber of Commerce.
As we have reported before, the DeVos Family has contributing significantly to effecting the outcome of elections in Michigan, but it is also clear that they want to influence elections in numerous states as well. The DeVos Family might be based in West Michigan, but their political reach is far and wide.
Major ArtPrize sponsors host Conference in Grand Rapids: West Michigan Policy Forum wants to end public sector employee pensions in Michigan
Every two years, the West Michigan Policy Forum (WMPF) hosts a major conference to articulate the goals of the most powerful members of the local capitalist class. I use the term capitalist class, because that is who makes up the WMPF and because their stated goal is to engage in class warfare, i.e., implement policies at the state level that will negatively impact working class families and benefit the business class.
In pervious conferences, they made cutting the state business taxes a goal, as well as making Michigan a Right to Work state. Both of those goals have been accomplished.
The policy goal of this year's conference was to push further for even more draconian austerity measures at the state level, with particular emphasis on dismantling pensions for public sector workers.
In the first morning session of the West Michigan Policy Forum conference yesterday, David Walker, former Comptroller General of the United Sates and head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, presented a study recently conducted by the multinational corporation PricewaterhouseCoopers. The study looked at seven municipalities in Michigan with the basic conclusion that public sector pensions are what is destroying municipal budgets. In fact, Walker, author of the book Comeback America: Turning the Country Around and Restoring Fiscal Responsibility, referred to public sector pensions as a "liability" for cities.
The undermining of public sector employee pensions is not a new thing in Michigan. Governor Snyder has made it part of his larger Neoliberal agenda to do away with public sector pensions and other benefits. It has been part of Snyder's plan to offer revenue sharing to municipalities only if they met certain requirements, one of them being the attack on public sector employee benefits. The bus driver's union in Grand Rapids has been fighting this very issue for nearly two years.
After the presentation by David Walker, based on the PricewaterhouseCoopers study, there was a panel discussion with four of the five panelists being unabashedly in favor of more austerity measures being adopted by municipalities. Leading the charge for cities adopting more austerity measures was John Kennedy, President and CEO of Autocam Medical. Kennedy has been with the West Michigan Policy Forum since its inception and a major player in the local capitalist class.
Another cheerleader for the elimination of public sector employee pensions was the City Manager of Port Huron, James Freed. Freed believes that the function of governments is to promote free markets and free enterprise, which will lead to "free people." This whole theme was reinforced in the afternoon when Governor Snyder himself address the West Michigan members of the capitalist class.
The keynote speaker for this gathering was Star Parker, President of the Center for Urban Renewal and Education (CURE). The theme of her talk was, "Market-Based Policies that are Helping Win the Fight Against Poverty." Star Parker was the perfect fit for this conference, since she not only believes in the invisible hand of the market, she is the perfect person to deliver such a message, since she is an African American woman.
The Center for Urban Renewal and Education mission is to, "Address issues of race and poverty from a Christian conservative perspective." Their national advisory board is made up of people from the Heritage Foundation the Family Research Council, the Liberty Cousel and the Ashcroft Group.
The Agenda of CURE are the following:
• Pro-Life
• Traditional Family
• Capitalism
• Ownership Rights
• School Choice
• Personal Retirement Accounts
• Market-based Healthcare
• Charity Choice
Star Parker is a regular on far right radio talk shows, like the Rush Limbaugh show, Sean Hannity and Bill O'Reilly. She once said that marriage equality contributes to the failing of public education. CURE is also a pro-Zionist organization that condemns the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) campaign.
However, the main reason why Star Parker addressed the capitalist class of Grand Rapids yesterday, was because of her zealous devotion to market-based solutions to poverty, to education and to government fiscal responsibility.
Before the end of the day, the audience also got to hear from two of the second generation members of the DeVos family, Dick and Doug, but they also heard from liberal capitalists like Fred Keller (Cascade Engineering) and Faye Richardson-Green with Richardson-Green Consulting LLC.
What those who claim to believe in collective liberation and social justice should take from this gathering of the local capitalist class is, they are well organized and tend to get the policies they want at the state level. It would be a mistake to simply ignore them or dismiss them as part of the "rightwing." The local capitalist class is embedded in so much of what takes place in West Michigan, which is exactly why this area has the largest wealthy gap in the entire state.
Michigan Senator Gary Peters votes to approve $1.15 billion in arms sales to Saudi Arabia
Yesterday, the US Senate voted down a proposed amendment that would have blocked the proposed sale of weapons to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, by a vote of 71 to 27. Most Democrats, including Michigan Senator Gary Peters, voted in favor of the bill that would give an additional $1.15 billion in weapons to that Middle Eastern country.
Robert Naiman, writing for Foreign Policy in Focus, makes it clear why sending more US weapons in a bad idea. Naiman gives several reasons, but the primary reason right now is to make it difficult for Saudi Arabia to continue its war on Yemen.
This is the same assessment that Majorie Cohan has on US weapons sales to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Cohen states, "Saudi Arabia has engaged in war crimes, and the United States is aiding and abetting them by providing the Saudis with military assistance. In September 2015, Saudi aircraft killed 135 wedding celebrants in Yemen. The airstrikes have killed 2,800 civilians, including 500 children. Human Rights Watch charges that these bombings "have indiscriminately killed and injured civilians."
Longtime anti-war activist Medea Benjamin just published a book entitled, Kingdom of the Unjust: Behind the US-Saudi Connection. In a review of her book, David Swanson states: The United States keeps rushing more weapons to Saudi Arabia as it uses them — with help from the U.S. military — to bomb houses, hospitals, and schools in Yemen, killing civilians by the thousands and non-civilians by the thousands, including with the use of cluster bombs.
Senator Peters does not have strong financial ties to the US weapons industry, but he is a major recipient of pro-Israeli money, like his predecessor Senator Carl Levin. This is relevant since the relationship between Israeli and Saudi Arabia continues to mature, which is another major reason these two countries are the top recipients of US military aid.
On can not emphasize enough the relationship between the role of Saudi Arabia and Israel as it relates to longterm US policy goals in the Middle East. One recent example is the Israeli-Saudi Red Sea deal, as reported by Middle East Monitor.
Senator Peters, as recently as last week, affirmed his continued support for Israel in a Press Release from September 14, that supports the recent US agreement to increase US military aid to Israel. The Press Release states: "The agreement will increase security assistance to Israel from $3.1 billion to $3.8 billion per year. As the largest military aid package provided to any country in U.S. history, this agreement reflects the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship and our unwavering commitment to the Jewish state."
For the US, maintaining massive military funding to Israel and Saudi Arabia will only escalate violence and conflict in the region and Senator Peters is complicit in that violence.
DeVos Family has a financial hand in the 10 most contested House races in Michigan
As we reported last month, the DeVos Family wants to make sure that the election outcome for Michigan in November works in their favor.
As one of the wealthiest families in Michigan, the DeVos Family knows that contributing so much money to candidates not only increases their chance that their candidates will win, but that their candidates will also pass policy which benefits their interests.
According to the research conducted by the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, the DeVos Family has contributed funds to eight of the top ten most hotly contested races for the House in Michigan.
Here are the 8 out of the top 10 most hotly contested races for the House in Michigan and how much money the DeVos Family has contributed:
- 91st House District: Collene Lamonte vs Rep. Holly Hughes – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Hughes
- 39th House District: Michael Stack vs Rep. Klint Kesto – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Kesto
- 62nd House District: Jim Haadsma vs Rep. John Bizon – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Bizon
- 24th House District: Steve Marino vs Dana Camphous – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Marino
- 71st House District: Rep. Tom Barrett vs Theresa Abed – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Barrett
- 66th House District: Annie Brown vs Beth Griffin – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Griffin
- 61st House District: John Fisher vs Rep. Brandt Idem – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Iden
- 104th House District: Rep. Larry Inman vs Betsy Coffia – DeVos Family has contributed $9,000 to Inman
New GRIID Study looks at Gender Representation in 2015 Films
In 2012, we conducted a study looking at gender representation in Hollywood films. In that study we determined that the overwhelming majority of movies reflected a male-dominant cultural narrative, based, in part, on the actual numbers of leader characters and the content analysis.
Our most recent film study, Normalizing Male Dominance, did not reflect that Hollywood was improving much when it comes to gender representation. To read the entire study, click here.
What follows are some conclusions from the study.
- Statistically, there was some minor improvement in the number of lead female characters in the 2015 film study compared to the 2012 film study.
- Despite the increased female lead representation in the 2015 study, there are several films with lead female characters that do not challenge the dominant gender narratives – Sisters, Hot Pursuit, Cinderella, Fifty Shades of Grey, The War Room and The Age of Adaline.
- There were several films with lead female characters that challenged the male-dominant narrative, such as Star Wars: The Force Awakens, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, The Divergent Series: Insurgent, Avengers: Age of Ultron and Sicario. However, even in many of these films, which are disproportionately action oriented or fantasy based, the female lead characters are juxtaposed with dominant male lead characters.
- There were several films where women's bodies are hyper-sexualized and objectified, such as Get Hard, Fifty Shades of Grey, The Boy Next Door, Straight Outta Compton, The Wedding Ringer, Hot Pursuit, Vacation, Ted 2 and Sisters.
- Films with male lead characters rarely challenge the male dominant narrative and present a cookie cutter version of masculinity, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron, Creed, San Andreas, Black Mass, Pixels, Sniper, Bridge of Spies, Sicario, The Night Before, Jurassic World, The Kingsman, Taken 3, The Gift, Ted 2, The Maze Runner, Southpaw, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Spectre, Mission Impossible 6, The Gift, Max, Furious 7, The Night Before and the Wedding Ringer.
- There were films where men are presented as caring, sensitive and empathetic towards others, such as in Selma, The Imitation Game, The Martian, The Intern, McFarland USA and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
- As was the case in the previous film study, children's films and animated films do challenge some gender norms provide more space to explore human in a less stereotypical fashion, with films such as Inside Out and Home.
Showing up after the Standing Rock Action in Grand Rapids: WZZM 13 misses half the story
(Updated version)
What happens when a local TV station shows up late to a protest in solidarity with the Standing Rock encampment in North Dakota? Essentially they butchered the story.
About 60 people showed up in solidarity with the Standing Rock encampment on Michigan Street, in front of the offices of G4S, a British company that is provide security for the pipeline project and has been beating native protestors and using dogs to maul them. This was the main reason for the organized protest and why that location was chosen. G4S also has a long history of supporting the Israeli occupation of Palestine and profiting from the US prison industrial complex.
However, channel 13 completely omitted this fact in their story, as if people were randomly standing on Michigan Street in an area that wasn't exactly the most visible.
WZZM 13 showed up as people were leaving after the 2 hour demonstration and was able to talk with someone from the local native american community. They missed the ceremony, the prayers, the drumming and the singing which centered the demonstration in solidarity with Standing Rock. On top of that, they used photos taken by demonstration participants without sourcing the photos or asking permission to use some of them. One participant from the demonstration did send them a few pictures to use.
