-from about 1919 to about 1930-
During the period from just after World War I until just after the stock market crash in 1929, the vibrancy of the newly discovered African American art, music and literature were celebrated in Harlem, New York. Why Harlem? Several factors contributed to this place and time. New York had long been considered the cultural capital of the country and Harlem experienced a large growth in population as thousands of blacks migrated to the area. Harlem was also the national headquarters for recently founded organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, The United Negro improvement Association, and the Urban League. Black pride in Harlem was represented by two large parades which had happened at the end of World War I. In 1917, more than 10,000 blacks had marched in silence to protest against anti-black violence, and in 1919, blacks marched again to celebrate the homecoming of the highly decorated, all-black 369th Infantry from their service in WWI. Harlem was not a ghetto, it was a black city.
Harlem Renaissance is considered the first important movement of black artists and writers in the US. Centered in Harlem, NY during the 1920s, black writers published more than ever before. Influential and lasting black authors, artists, and musicians received their first serious critical appraisal. This group included Zora Neale Hurston, W.E.B. DuBois, Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, and Alain Locke , who was considered the chief interpreter for the Harlem movement.

KINGS OF CHAOS, the touring project featuring former GUNS N' ROSES members Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Duff McKagan. along with former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach, DEF LEPPARD's Joe Elliott, Glenn Hughes from BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION and DEEP PURPLE, and COLLECTIVE SOUL's Ed Roland, made its Australian live debut on April 20 at the Stone Music Festival at Sydney's ANZ Stadium. Headlining the event were VAN HALEN and AEROSMITH.
Fan-filmed video footage of KINGS OF CHAOS' entire performance can be seen below. KINGS OF CHAOS performed in Cape Town, South Africa on June 7 and June 8 at the Grand West Grand Arena, and is scheduled to appear on June 15 and June 16 at the Sun City Superbowl, North West. Due to scheduling conflicts with the recording of his forthcoming studio album and the production schedule for a new major network television show, former SKID ROW singer Sebastian Bach is not performing with KINGS OF CHAOS in South Africa. Replacing Bach for the South African KINGS OF CHAOS dates is ALTER BRIDGE and SLASH singer Myles Kennedy. "Matt Sorum put the band together," Elliott told Cape Times. "We've known each other for years. To quote Ozzy Osbourne, he asked if we wanted to 'get aboard this crazy train.' Join in, sing a few songs and have a bit of fun — with no pressure." He added: "And what a lineup! We have a great rhythm section from GUNS N' ROSES, Glenn Hughes from DEEP PURPLE, then there's Slash and Myles Kennedy." KINGS OF CHAOS performs some of the individual bandmembers' greatest hits in a two-hour display of frenzied guitar riffs, pounding drums, resonating bass and trademark raspy vocals. "The songs kind of picked themselves," said Elliott. "We'll do [DEF LEPPARD's] 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and 'Animal', of course. And we've put in an acoustic segment for South Africa. "Fresh songs come with fresh blood. We may even end up writing songs together. Who knows?" He added: "It's a wonderful experience to work with these guys. They just smile all the time. Everyone has been in a band for 30 or 40 years, and we all have great jokes and stories." KINGS OF CHAOS made its Australian live debut on April 20 at the Stone Music Festival at Sydney's ANZ Stadium. "I couldn't believe the number of people totally going bananas. It was an eye-opener to see how much they dug it," said Elliott. "It's building, it's a curiosity. You wonder how it's going to work, Matt Sorum, Gilby Clarke and Duff McKagan playing a DEF LEPPARD song… Will it work? And it does!" KINGS OF CHAOS toured South and Central America last year under the name ROCK 'N' ROLL ALLSTARS.KINGS OF CHAOS: Fan-Filmed Video Footage Of Entire Sydney Concert

Matthew Rohrer is the author of Destroyer and Preserver (Wave Books, 2011), A Plate of Chicken (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2009), Rise Up (Wave Books, 2007) and A Green Light (Verse Press, 2004), which was shortlisted for the 2005 Griffin Poetry Prize. He is also the author of Satellite (Verse Press, 2001), and co-author, with Joshua Beckman, of Nice Hat. Thanks. (Verse Press, 2002), and the audio CD Adventures While Preaching the Gospel of Beauty. He has appeared on NPR's All Things Considered and The Next Big Thing. His first book, A Hummock in the Malookas was selected for the National Poetry Series by Mary Oliver in 1994. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, and teaches at NYU.
Even through the clamor of war, garbage trucks, stolen cars, and crying babies, Rohrer maintains an alluring tranquility, a Taoist chill to temper a casualness that might otherwise get flagged as too hip. Li Po and Rumi drink jugs of wine, "Wu Wei" presides calmly over the lovely closing poem that takes his name, and clouds drift from one poem to the next. —Michael Brodeur, The Boston Globe
Rohrer's frequently beautiful, brief poems are rooted in specific images that initially seem unrelated—but which ultimately form a unity as meditations on how the ordinary distractions of everyday life can be seen as the source for almost everything important in life. —Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly
Rohrer writes poems that crackle and sputter, often branching toward new meaning and emotion within the span of a single line. —Publishers Weekly
Matthew Rohrer casually transforms the mundane substances of the everyday into spirited occasions of imaginative charm. —Nick Sturm, Ron Slate's On the Seawall

9:00 a.m.
Originalism in Criminal Procedure: Ancient Checks or Newfangled Rights?
In recent years, the Supreme Court has relied on originalist arguments in ruling for defendants on issues of Fourth Amendment searches and seizures, Sixth Amendment confrontation and cross-examination, and Sixth Amendment jury-trial guarantees at sentencing. Originalists claim that these rulings are essential to reintroduce checks on governmental power, to protect defendants, and to reinforce juries. Critics object that the constitutional text and history provide only weak foundations for these new rights, that there are multiple plausible originalist approaches to each of these clauses, and that these rights misfire when superimposed on the modern criminal justice system. This debate will weigh the pros and cons of originalism and its appropriate role in interpreting the criminal procedure provisions of the Bill of Rights, particularly the Fourth and Sixth Amendments.

Tips for the Trail - Motivation for Oak MountainBy Brandon MaderIf you ask someone competing in their first trail race, "What would you like to know?" there are a few common responses. You're likely to be asked what surfaces they'll encounter, what the weather will be, if there are hills, and why you've convinced each other to do a trail race. The long answers could go on for a while, so the simple answers are that the course will be packed dirt and rocky, the weather will most likely be in the low 80's, sunny, and possibly muddy from some scattered thundershowers in the preceding days. Since this is an XTERRA event, you can expect some hills, but in the Oak Mountain park none of the climbs are more than 100 feet at a time so the hills are not of great concern. In last week's Tips for the Trail, Rachel Cieslewicz wrote a very nice piece on preparing for a run on a trail you've never seen. Rather than penning more of the same, I think it's appropriate to tackle the most difficult question facing someone entering a trail race: Why am I doing this? Asking yourself before the race will certainly yield a feeling of exhilaration. More important is during the race - when you're tired and sweaty and consider quitting. It is easy to get caught up in your emotions when you're in the late stages of a hot-weather race, facing another hill or series of hills. You naturally question your motivations. In his book "The Competitive Edge," Richard Elliot discusses motivation in its relation to training and racing, and how to use your mind to achieve your greatest athletic successes. Elliot shows that the most successful runners are those who recognize that a race will hurt, and welcome the realization. To deal with this eventuality, he suggests breaking the race down into segments which are more manageable. Trail races are inherently more difficult than road running - the features which make them harder are the same features that make them so enjoyable. If you find yourself exhausted and your mind starts wandering into thoughts of quitting, break the remaining distance into manageable segments. Get yourself to the next big tree, then to the top of the next hill, then to the bottom of that hill. You will find that accumulating small achievements will add up to one great achievement in the end. This advice could be especially helpful for those runners who will be running the full marathon at Oak Mountain. I believe the 42K will be reasonable for someone attempting their first trail marathon. It will by no means be an "experts only" course, but it may be overwhelming for someone who has never completed a full marathon. The first few miles should be challenging but relatively easy, but as the temperature rises it will be significantly more difficult. Breaking through the barriers your body would place on you is the ultimate reward of trail running. The Oak Mountain runs on May 21 offer you two great opportunities: to find the discomfort which is the reality of running hard, and to succeed in spite of the discomfort. Success brings satisfaction - the smile you get from competing in an XTERRA and improving yourself makes the post-race party some of the happiest times you will ever experience. Enjoy. Brandon Mader has been running for 12 years through high school and college, and has been a premier competitor on the XTERRA series since 2008. He is the defending men's champion of the XTERRA Oak Mountain Trail Run. He is a member of PowerBar Team Elite and the XTERRA Trail Run Ambassador Program.

My Wired Style
The Secret of the Green Jacket
Admittedly, I am not a huge fan of golf. As a D-wired person, I have little patience with the idea of chasing a little white ball around a golf course all day. But after this year's Masters Tournament, I may have to reconsider. I came to the realization that it's not about chasing that little white ball. It's not even about winning that green jacket. It's really about chasing a dream.
Enter Bubba Watson, 16th in the world, and just three PGA wins under his belt. No formal training – not one single golf lesson. A technique all his own. Left-handed. A risk-taker. He was not considered a viable candidate for that green jacket, not even in his own estimation.
Nevertheless, the crowd was enamored with Bubba. Why? Because he was one of them – a regular guy, with the courage to pursue a monumental dream.
Bubba kept finding himself in the trees, so what did he do? He went on the attack. He looked for the opening, and he just went for it. He couldn't see the green clearly from that vantage point, but he took a shot in the right direction. That shot landed within 10 feet of the hole! And he realized a dream behind his wildest imagination.
In an interview after the tournament, he said, "I've never had a dream go this far."
After the game, he acknowledged the significant contributions of others in his life - his dad, who had died of cancer; his mother, his wife, and his caddie.
As we're beginning to start our "Put Your Dream to the Test" series, I looked at this story with avid interest in how exactly Bubba's dream came true. Here are the takeaways.
Now apply this to YOU. Where it says "He" in the points above, put your name. Type them up and put them on your mirror or your refrigerator. These are the steps to YOUR dream.
You see, the secret of the green jacket
is that it's not really about the green jacket.
It's about the amazing, exciting, meaningful, and sometimes challenging journey you take to get there and the folks who share that journey with you.

Assessment of Washington Monument continues after earthquake damage
WASHINGTON (AP) - The National Park Service says assessment of the damage at the Washington Monument after last month's earthquake is continuing, but engineers are a long way from saying when the obelisk can reopen to the public.
National Park Service spokesman William Line said Friday that engineers have not completed their work determining the damage and how to repair it.
Line said winterization, which is done to the structure every year, is especially important this year. Cracks in the pyramidion will be filled in temporarily so that snow and water don't get in.
Engineers will speak at a news conference on Monday afternoon on the mall about the ongoing damage assessment.
Cracks were found in the 555-foot tall monument after the Aug. 23 earthquake.

September 7, 2012
A bipartisan group of 50 Beacon Hill lawmakers has signed a letter demanding the state Department of Correction appeal a federal judge's ruling that would give a man convicted of killing his wife a sex-change operation at taxpayer expense.
"Like many others, I was shocked at the extreme interpretation of the Eighth Amendment," said Senate Minority Leader Bruce Tarr, who wrote the letter co-signed by 49 other state senators and representatives. "We can't subject our prisoners to cruel and unusual punishment. We have to provide them with medically necessary treatment. But that's a completely radical treatment and one that many people outside of prison cannot afford or obtain."

looking to get into more autocross this season, anyone on here got a modded wrx in autocross? what have you done and what class are you in?
This is a discussion on SCCA within the Motorsports Talk forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; looking to get into more autocross this season, anyone on here got a modded wrx in autocross? what have you ...
looking to get into more autocross this season, anyone on here got a modded wrx in autocross? what have you done and what class are you in?
I was heavily into autox with the Philly region for ~4 seasons. I have not been out since 2010.
Have a look at my mod list. I started out in STX, then SM with a mild turbo upgrade and 21 psi of boost.
I think I hit an ability plateau - the WRX has become far more capable than I am as a driver. Going out to an event became an exercise in frustration. Might have been more fun if I had stayed in STX. I get eaten alive in SM.
Did a track day last fall. That was the most fun I've ever had with the WRX. Way more seat time and I think a far better better value per dollar / smile wise. Is is much harder on the car though.
Not sure what I'll be doing in 2013 ...

Mods & Pics
I just got into Auto-X last year (when I bought the car) and it is a lot of fun.
There aren't too many mods you can do if you want to stay in the stock class. I think there's a stock class for street tires and another for those wanting to run slicks. Read the rules if you want specifics.
If you want to do light mods and to run street tires STU/STX is a decent choice for that. I liked being able to take my car to an event and not have to swap wheels in the morning. Gives you more time to walk the course
I think all the 09+ WRX's have to run STU with mods, this is the class I was in and it is a tough one. You'll be with STIs from all years, EVOs, and BMW 3 series. I got consistently spanked in this class, but I was also a newbie so it was ok. I did just as well as all the other novices so I wouldn't say I was too out of my league.
I haven't read the rules in a while but I think you have to stay at stock boost levels for STU, so if you wanted a new downpipe on your car you would be in a new class (SM?), or you would need a map made to run on stock boost levels to use in STU (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).
There's definitely others that are more experienced with this than I, so hopefully they will chime in. I wouldn't worry too much about the class and being competitive if you're just starting out. Just get a lot of seat time, meet some cool people, and have fun!
SCCA is a label we use for cancer here at work. Glad to see that you guys were talking about something different! LOL

How much camber are you running F&R? And are you toed out both F&R? You should have toe out on the front and toe in on the rear.
What setting do you have the front bar on? And why no rear bar? That would really help balance out the car.
Upgraded fluid too I assume (hope)?
How much time does having that 8 pounds less in the front cut off your times and improve your handling? Do you empty it when you get to the event and refill it when you leave, or do you just never use any and never drive in wet winter conditions so you don't risk driving blind?

I ran my STI in auto-x but I didn't have a ton of mods on it, just a stage 1 tune and different tires. It's a much better vehicle for auto-x of course than a WRX due to the much better suspension, but the WRX is still a great auto-x car. I'd want to change out the sway bars as the first thing if I was going to run a WRX in a lot of auto-x events (and was hoping to get good times).

This year camber I ran -3.5F/-2.2R with just 1/16" toe out each wheel Front (so 1/8" total). Rear was zero toe. Based on tire temps this was a hair too much camber and last year I ran -3.1 and it was a hair too little. This year I was planning on running -3.3F/-2.2R and the same toe to start the season. Gotta see if what tire temps are and how the car feels on the new springs.
Front bar is on full stiff, but when I put the 600lbs springs on I'm going back to soft to dial in the car. As far as a RSB, I've run several over the years - a larger RCE adjustable, a smaller Cusco adjustable, no sway bar, and back to stock.... Why? Because of the horrible rear wheel lift I would get with any RSB. I even get rear wheel lift on some really tight slow speed corners on the stock RSB. Any time in mid corner waiting for the rear tire to come back to the pavement was time wasted. I was really happy with the setup last year as far as balance - I'm moving to a stiffer setup because the front still needs a bit more roll resistance to help keep the rear planted.
I've noticed for whatever reason the 05 STi's seem to suffer from rear wheel lift the most. No other years seem to have the issue unless running a big rear bar.
Yup, ATE fresh every season.
This was a game changer. I never fill it because I like to live dangerously.

I'm not crazy about rear toe personally. Zero sounds nice to me.
Your comments about rear wheel lift brought fond memories if the Golf GTi, and reinforce my belief that the more one adds bar the more one subtracts independence. At some point even on level ground independence is more worthwhile.
Thanks for the info.
Question: wouldn't ideal camber (measured with a pyrometer as you did) vary with different tyres? So if next year you change compounds, you'd have to measure temps again? Curious.

Ah - VW's..... they sure do like to 3-wheel around big sweepers. Sure fun to watch those cars on course - that and the couple BMW's that will lift the inside front wheel on course.
With AWD - it's not too bad if just for a moment at turn-in on the car, but on occasion if you get enough where your getting on the gas, feel the wheel spin-up and you can just feel how hard it is on the car when the wheel plants. Unsettles the car a bit and can't be good on the diffs. I see some of the prepared class STI's doing it all the time and can't imagine how they can drive the car that way.
As far as ideal camber - yes it will vary with compound. And I do plan on running the new Star Specs, so it will be just a ballpark really for the first alignment. That on top of the stiffer springs will change things. With more spring I expect I'd need a bit less camber from before but won't know till I run the car.

Now you're bringing back memories! Before I digress, GOOD LUCK out there and have fun! Sincere best wishes!
Now! The MkII MR2 lifts a front wheel also. As for the GTi... Heh... Quad headlamps, the 112HP 1,8L injected 8 valve motor, Kamei body bits... Turning on three wheels with 185/60 Pirelli P6s fitted... King of the hot hatches back then. Sigh...

Former federal corrections officer pleads guilty
to receiving bribes
June 12, 2012 |
CAMDEN, N.J. – A former corrections officer with the Federal Bureau of Prisons today admitted accepting $3,600 in bribes in exchange for smuggling contraband in and out of the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, N.J.
Job Brown, 39, of Bridgeton, N.J., pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge Renée Marie Bumb to an Information charging him with one count of receipt of bribes by a public official.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Brown, a federal correctional officer at FCI-Fairton, was responsible for supervising inmates while enforcing the rules governing the operation of the facility. Between January 2012 and March 14, 2012, he accepted two separate cash payments – $1,100 and $2,500 – in exchange for using his position to smuggle tobacco and vitamin supplements to a prisoner inside the facility. Brown also smuggled approximately 900 U.S. postage stamps out of the facility for the same inmate's benefit. Tobacco is prohibited at FCI-Fairton, and inmates are also not allowed to possess more than 60 United States postage stamps, or vitamin supplements, which are not purchased through the prison commissary.
The bribery count to which Brown pleaded guilty is punishable by a maximum potential penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Brown could also be permanently disqualified from holding any office of honor, trust, or profit in the United States. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 18, 2012.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward, in Newark; and special agents of the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of the Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge James E. Tomlinson, in New York, with the investigation leading to today's guilty plea.

Social media users like the sound of iTunes Radio
Apple finally unveiled its music streaming service, iTunes Radio, and the social Web approves.
Social media analytics company NetBase found that 94 percent of social media users had positive comments about iTunes Radio following the product's release during Apple's WWDC developers conference on Monday, which means only 6 percent had negative comments.
The streaming service, which is tied into Apple's popular ecosystem, was highly discussed in the media in recent weeks as a competitor to services like Pandora and Spotify.
NetBase said iTunes Radio received the most positive comments among all of Apple's products announced on … Read more

CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK, Ore. — It's August 8th, 2010, close to midnight. A silence has fallen over the hemlock and pine forest bordering Crater Lake National Park. Then, with an explosively loud crack, a tree falls. The noise echoes for a few seconds. Nobody was there to hear it.
But the sound of that falling tree was picked up by a nearby microphone and solar-powered recorder that captured forest noises continuously for 30 days.
Over the last two years, technicians at Crater Lake National Park have set up 20 of these temporary recording stations, building a massive database of creaks, snorts, rustling, birdsong, and airplane noise. Park management will eventually analyze the data and use it to create an air-tour management plan, triggered by a Bend company's controversial proposal to offer helicopter tours of the park.
A falling tree's sound and its visual representation. It was captured by the National Park Service at Crater Lake.
"Anything you could possibly think of hearing, we probably have a recording of it," says Scott McFarland, the park's audio technician. "Everything from badgers and porcupines grunting to the wings of a mosquito flying by."
McFarland is responsible for setting up the recording stations and the detective work of combing through the data and identifying sounds. He's learned that elk like to snack on microphone windscreens. When he finishes, the park will evaluate whether helicopter tours could be routed and timed in a way that will minimize disruption to park visitors and potentially noise-sensitive species, like Pacific treefrogs and spotted owls.

Crater Lake is not a particularly quiet park, thanks to the cars, Harleys, and snowmobiles that follow the road along the caldera's rim. But McFarland says that noise from the road doesn't carry far into the Crater Lake back country. What he does record, about 20 percent of the time, is the sound of air traffic passing overhead. In fact, airplane flyover noise is present about 30 percent of the time in virtually every part of the continental United States. McFarland says the sound of airplanes has become so constant, most people don't even hear it.
"You're acclimated to the noise. It's amazing how much we've lost the ability to hear sounds."
And while some animal species may acclimate just as humans do, scientists worry that the intrusion of human noise in wild places may be harmful. Kurt Fristrup studies wildlife acoustics and works with the National Park Service's Natural Sounds Program. He says there is evidence that the noise of air traffic makes prey species like bighorn sheep and ground squirrels nervous, and may also make it harder for predators to hunt.
"The insidious thing about aircraft noise is that it affects the quietest places," says Fristrup.
"If you go to any one place and you measure the quietest natural background sound levels, there are species that have hearing thresholds so low, they take advantage of that," he says. "Something that would seem like a subtle change in background noise, 3 decibels, can reduce a predator's search area by as much as 50 percent."
The sounds of coyotes, insects and birds at Crater Lake National Park.
The sounds and visual representations were recorded and produced by the National Park Service's Natural Sounds Program. The image represents the sound measured over time. The Y axis shows the pitch of the sound and the X axis shows time. The brightness of the lines show sound intensity.
In 2000, Congress passed an act requiring the National Park Service and the Federal Aviation Administration to protect natural quiet and regulate commercial air tours over national parks. But in 11 years, no park has managed to finish a plan, and the Government Accountability Office has repeatedly criticized the law as vague.
A Bend-based company, Leading Edge Aviation, proposed offering 30- to 50-minute helicopter tours of Crater Lake two years ago. Private, commercial, and military aircraft already fly over Crater Lake, but they are supposed to stay above 3,000 feet.
The aviation company says its helicopters would fly at 1,000 feet or higher, and estimates the noise level of the flyovers would be about 65 decibels. It argues that given existing car traffic and their proposed flight routes, the helicopter tours would have a minimal noise impact on visitors. The FAA has approved its proposal. A decision from the park is likely several years away.

Everybody Needs A Hobby
Everybody Needs A Hobby of the Day: This past Sunday, former Cal quarterback Joe Ayoob fulfilled a lifelong dream by setting a new world record for Longest Paper Airplane Throw.
The folded piece of A4 paper designed by KRON-TV producer John Collins soared across a hangar at McClellan Air Force Base for 226ft. and 10in., besting Stephen Kreiger record of 207ft., 4in. set in 2003.
"Some people might think, 'What's the big deal? It's just a paper airplane," Ayoob later told ESPN. "But it's a world record. It took a lot of time for John, and it took a lot of time for me working with John to achieve this. … It's very rewarding, and I'm very proud of this record."

Many Humanists find a home in Unitarian Universalism. Though they may identify as Atheist or Agnostic, rejecting supernatural frameworks for creating meaning or morality, some Unitarian Universalist Humanists believe in a sacred force at work in the universe—the force of love, the spirit of life. Some may find the sacred existing in the material world, holding a reverence for the intricate web of interdependence and interrelationship that defines life on Earth. All share a commitment to learn and grow in a spiritually-diverse community. The HUUmanists group writes:
We are "religious" in that we share with most Unitarian Universalists the natural human desires for a beloved and accepting community; a purpose greater than ourselves; rituals and practices that resonate with our common humanity and shared mortality; and opportunities to work with other tough-minded, warm-hearted people to do good in the world and to help one another attain the greatest possible fulfillment in life.
Since the early 20th century, Humanism has been an influential part of our continually evolving religious tradition. Unitarians and Universalists have always trusted in reason and affirmed the findings of science. We take the intellect seriously. We know, deeply, that each person is on a search for truth and meaning in life. Two of the six primary sources we draw on for our Sunday services are:
As a non-dogmatic faith, Unitarian Universalism honors the differing spiritual paths we each travel. Our congregations are places where we celebrate, support, and challenge one another as we continue on these journeys.
