Listen to Black Agenda Radio on the Progressive Radio Network, with Glen Ford and Nellie Bailey – Week of 11/18/13
Uneven Results in Fast Food Drive
The largely Black, brown and female fast food workforce is well-suited to the SEIU-backed campaign for a $15 an hour minimum wage, said independent journalist Arun Gupta, since "all three of these groups favor unions." Gupta's article, "Fight for 15 Confidential" appears in the current issue of In These Times. The campaign, including brief strike actions, has yielded uneven results. In overwhelmingly Black Detroit, the drive has attracted about 500 "active" workers. However, despite the efforts of 10 paid organizers in both Washington DC and Seattle, only about 10 or 12 workers are actively involved in each city, said Gupta.
Obama Tries to Ram Corporate "Rights" Treaty Through Congress
WikiLeaks' publication of secret provisions of President Obama's Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) treaty may derail efforts to "fast track" the legislation through Congress, said Robert Naiman, policy director of Just Foreign Policy, which rewarded Wikileaks with $70,000 in crowd-sourced cash. TPP would establish corporate "rights" that would supersede regulation by sovereign governments, said Naiman. "This is a terrible dynamic from the point of view of democracy – which is why corporations love it so much."
New Book on William Patterson, of "We Charge Genocide"
Throughout their history in North America, Blacks have sought international allies in the fight against racist oppression, said Dr. Gerald Horne, professor of African American Studies at the University of Houston. In his new book, Black Revolutionary: William Patterson and the Globalization of the African American Freedom Struggle, Horne details how the Black communist lawyer's international organizing efforts "eventually led to the erosion of Jim Crow" in the U.S. Patterson played a central role in the famous Scottsboro Boys case and, along with Paul Robeson, presented a petition to the United Nations, in 1951, charging the U.S. with genocide against Blacks.
Crusading Black Radio Station Needs $4,600 to Survive
Radio station WMXP, a low-power FM outlet operated by the Malcolm X Center, in Greenville, South Carolina, can only broadcast an hour or two a day because of a faulty transmitter, said activist and attorney Efia Nwangaza. Even more desperate is the need to raise $4,600 to save the community center's building from the county tax collector. "We did the radio station as an enhancement of the center," said Nwangaza. "It has to be a vehicle that extends the voice of the people of the community. Otherwise, it has no meaning." To help, go to www.wmxp955.com, or call 864.901.8627.

Progressive Sheepdogs, Democrat Sheep: Broken Promises & the Minimum Wage
by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
If President Obama and his party didn't even try to deliver on their 2008 campaign promise of a minimum wage hike when they had the White House and both houses of Congress on lockdown in 2010 and 2011, what does their sudden rediscovery of the minimum wage mean now, when they know they can move nothing through Congress? Are they and their sheepdogs, the so-called "progressive Democrats" just yanking our chain again?
Democracy: Going Down for the Count in Detroit
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
The "restructuring" of Detroit through bankruptcy is the model for drastically downsizing what's left of democracy in all of urban America. Already, Black voting rights have been rendered null and void "on a scale not seen since the death of Reconstruction." However, the legal precedents that are being established in mostly Black Detroit will obtain throughout the nation.
Freedom Rider: Renisha McBride and Kym Worthy
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
"White people are now able to give themselves immunity from prosecution when they kill black people, and having black district attorneys doesn't keep it from happening." The parents of Renisha McBride have put their faith in prosecutor Kym Worthy. But Worthy has not charged the killer, although she has "charged 15 and 16-year olds with offenses that could send them to jail for life."
The Tragicomedy of Black Politics in the Age of Obama
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford
You know Black folks are in trouble when a Saturday Night Live skit provides more insight into African American politics than all the Black so-called political "analysts" at MSNBC. "Most African Americans are wholly unconcerned about Obama's actual legislative and executive agenda." The people are left defenseless, for the sake of an icon in the White House.

In Cold Blood: The Murder of Renisha McBride
by Sikivu Hutchinson
The 19-year-old Black woman had just gotten a job at the Ford Motor Company when she was shot in the face with a shotgun by a white homeowner after seeking help after a car crash. Her killing "is part of a long legacy of black female murder victims who have been devalued in a misogynist apartheid system of state-sanctioned violence that thrives on the urban/suburban racial divide."
No Fear: The Marsha Coleman Adebayo Story Green Lit for Pre-Production
by Iyanna Jones
The gripping personal saga of the struggle that led to passage of the No FEAR Act will soon begin film production. No Fear: The Marsha Coleman-Adebayo Story, reveals the venality, racism and corporate greed that infests the Environmental Protection Agency, endangering the lives of millions in the United States and around the globe.
Obama as the "New JFK": Nothing Great to Be
by Paul Street
As the anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's assassination approaches, the media will be awash with comparisons between JFK and Barack Obama. The two do, indeed, have much in common. "President Obama has moved in the same doctrinally and politically imposed corporate and imperial grooves as Kennedy."
Marking 15 Years Since the Passing of Kwame Ture: Speeches and Interviews
by Dr. Ama Biney
Kwame Ture, formerly known as Stokely Carmichael, the former SNCC activist whose name will forever be linked to the term "Black Power," died in Conakry, Guinea, on November 15, 1998, at age 57. Ture spent his last decades as an organizer of the All-African People's Revolutionary Party. He once said: "Our grandfathers had to run, run, run. My generation's out of breath. We ain't running no more."
Racially Engineering the Pseudo-White Barbie
by Sean Posey
Black is definitely no longer considered beautiful in the world marketed to us by corporate media. The Black aesthetic has been Barbied out of the marketplace. For example, "Implants, probable skin lightening, colored contacts, and blonde hair have rendered" songstress "Minaj, physically, into another woman entirely."
The Whitest Historically Black College In America
by Shereen Marisol Meraji and Gene Demby
West Virginia's Bluefield State University is overwhelmingly white, but gets a big chunk of its budget from funds reserved for historically Black institutions. Whites dominate both the faculty and student body, yet "every single member of the alumni association is black."
More Congo Propaganda: M23 and the High-Tech Genocide Unseen
by keith harmon snow
For 17 years, the U.S. armed and financed a genocidal occupation of eastern Congo by neighboring Rwanda and Uganda and their "rebel" surrogates. "The varying incarnations of 'rebels' in eastern Congo have all and always been backed by Museveni (Uganda) and Kagame (Rwanda), in turn backed by the USA, UK and Israel."

U.S. Rulers Have No Solution for Urban Crisis
"The powers that be have no solution" to the crises confronting Detroit and other U.S. urban centers, said Abayome Azikiwe, editor of the Pan African News Wire. A federal judge has been hearing testimony on the state-appointed Emergency Financial Manager's plans to bankrupt the city. "From the White House to Wall Street, all the way down to the state capitals and municipal governments, all they offer is more debt to float more bonds," said Azikiwe. "There's no discussion about jobs, economic opportunities, repopulating the cities. The narrative is austerity and more austerity."
Dollars Trump Black History in Richmond
The Black Mayor of Richmond, Virginia is opting for a baseball stadium rather than preservation of Shockoe Bottom, the city's historic center, once home to the nation's second largest slave market. "It really doesn't have anything to do with whether or not he's pro-history or anti-history – it's money," said Ana Edwards, of Defenders for Freedom, Justice and Equality. "Shockoe Bottom is the price that he is willing to pay for developers to make their money."
Free Marissa Alexander
The case of a Black battered wife who fired a shot into her ceiling to fend off her abusive husband has become a focus of agitation in Florida. If convicted on aggravated assault charges, Marissa Alexander could spend two decades in prison. "This is what's happening with the criminalization of Black women," said Aleta Alston-Toure, of Free Marissa Now, in Jacksonville. "We need a movement to stop the race, sex and class bias" of the criminal justice system. Black women are more than two and a half times as likely to be killed by a male as their white counterparts.
Feinstein NSA Bill Legalizes NSA Abuse of Power
The FISA Improvement Act, sponsored by Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an apologist for NSA spying on Americans, "doesn't improve anything; it codifies practices that already exist," said Matthew Kellegrew, a legal fellow with the Bill of Rights Defense Committee. Kellegrew says rival legislation, the USA Freedom Act, "is a step in the direction towards reining in the Patriot Act and out-of-control government surveillance."
Activists Charge Black Studies Chairman with Betrayal
More than 100 student and community activists gathered in Philadelphia's historic Church of the Advocate to denounce Temple University's Dean of Liberal Arts for persecuting African American Studies professor Dr. Anthony Monteiro, and to rebuke Dr. Molefi Asante, the program's new chairman, for betraying his former colleague. Dr. Asante has "turned on Dr. Monteiro and he's turned on the community," said Patrice Armstead, of Building Peoples Power. "He seems to have reversed course relative to building African American Studies at Temple and connecting that project with the lives and struggles and problems of the Black community," said Dr. Monteiro.
Rwanda Needs to Show It Wants Peace in Congo
The defeat of M-23 fighters by Congolese and United Nations forces, earlier this month, does not necessarily signal an end to the violence that has killed six million Congolese since 1996. Unless neighboring Rwanda and Uganda stop arming and financing so-called "rebels," said Kambale Musavuli, of Washington-based Friends of Congo, there can be no peace. "The way I will know that Rwanda is serious about stopping supporting rebel groups, is for them to turn over" some of those already charged with atrocities in the Democratic Republic of Congo, rather than giving them asylum.

Detroit as Dred Scott
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
The bum-rush to bankrupt Detroit is the leading legal edge in Wall Street's drive to declare Black urban dwellers "beings of an inferior order" with no rights that Capital is bound to respect. The verdict will be applicable to the rest of the 99 percent, as well. "In America, race – more properly, white supremacy – has always been the magic wedge."
Freedom Rider: Saving the White Man
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
It's the kind of story that brings tears to Middle America's eyes: selfless Black person puts life on line for undeserving white. In a white man's world, saving a redneck from a beating qualifies a Black person for sainthood, while acting in defense of Black people makes one a dangerous militant.
Rwandan War Criminals Defeated in Congo, But AFRICOM Riding High
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford
The military defeat of Rwandan-backed "rebels" in the eastern Congo is good news for a people who have suffered the worst genocide since World War Two. But will there be justice for the six million dead? "The United States would not relish a series of trials in which its own role in the slaughter of millions would be revealed in embarrassing detail."

Kanye West, Black Popular Culture, and the Current Agenda of American Empire
by Pascal Robert
African American audiences cheer a TV show that glamorizes a real-life Black woman who played a key role in putting Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court and "helped clean things up for the Republicans during the Iran-Contra Scandal." Kanye West unfurls the Confederate flag. Black faces in high places are descending to the lowest moral depths – the Obama Effect gone wild.
The Black Misleadership Class Needs Unmasking
by Danny Haiphong
The Black Misleadership Class purports to guide African Americans on the path to upward mobility. But, in fact, "Black FBI leaders, corporate managers, police authorities, Senators, Congressmen, Presidential advisors, and morally bankrupt celebrities like Jay-Z are given handsome salaries and positions to help manage the exploitation of the Black masses."
When Prisons Retaliate: California Inmates Still Paying Price for Demanding Rights
by Sarah Lazare
California prison inmates have held three hunger strikes and mass work stoppages in the last two years, protesting appalling conditions and the torture of solitary confinement. The state is striking back. "We've received letters around individual guards or groups of guards targeting people who participated in the strike." As many as 30,000 inmates may face some form of retaliation.

Stop-and-Frisk Judge Thrown Off Case
A federal appeals court stayed Judge Shira Scheindlin's ruling that stop-and-frisk, as practiced by the New York City police, is unconstitutional, and removed Scheindlin from the case for bias against cops. However, that doesn't phase Robert Gangi, of the Urban Justice Center's Police Reform Organizing Project. "Our judgment is that, while litigation and legislation can be helpful, they are not the critical components to the ultimate success of the police reform movement," said Gangi. "The politics of the issue have changed, dramatically." Gangi is convinced that Democrat Bill de Blasio, the city's next likely mayor, will eliminate the worst abuses of stop-and-frisk.
A Slap in the Face
"My immediate reaction is that the federal appeals court stopped-and-frisked Judge Scheindlin," said Carl Dix, a co-founder of Stop Stop-and-Frisk, which launched a campaign of direct action protests at police precincts across New York, two years ago. The panel's action is a "slap in the face of all of the people who hate stop-and-frisk," he said. "Them finding impropriety in Judge Scheindlin's handling of the case, but seeing no impropriety in the way stop-and-frisk demonizes and criminalizes Black and Latino youth – that's the real story, here."
Don Obama and the Health Insurance Mob
The Affordable Care Act is neither affordable nor universal, said Dr. Margaret Flowers, co-director of It's Our Economy and one of the authors of the recent article, "Obamacare: The Biggest Insurance Scam in History." "They're marketing the insurance products for the insurance companies, paying people to knock on doors," said Flowers. "We're spending billions of taxpayers dollars to subsidize the purchase of private insurance. What better deal could there possibly be for a private insurance company?"
Caribbean Slavery Suit: Reparations or Pay-Off?
The 12 nations of the Caribbean economic community, plus Haiti and Surinam, plan to sue Britain, France and the Netherlands for the crime of slavery. However, the plaintiffs' lawyers are already talking about a settlement. "Reparations is an issue whose time has come," said Omali Yeshitela, head of the African People's Socialist Party and chairman of the Black Is Back Coalition. But, it seems that the Caribbean leaders are "asking for a kind of pay-off, and nothing that actually challenges the relationships of power and the economic relationships that exist between Europe and the oppressed nations of the world."
Sociologists Boycott Israel
Dr. Johnny Williams, professor of sociology at Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut, said the Association of Humanist Sociology has joined the global boycott Israel campaign. Dr. Williams, a vice president of the association, said his colleagues demand Israel end its colonization and occupation of Palestinian lands, recognize the full citizenship rights of Palestinian Israelis, and allow Palestinian exiles to return to their homeland. The association felt compelled to join the boycott because "sociology is about transforming the human societies that we find ourselves in. It is nor merely about interpreting data."
"Soul Summit" Recounts Legacy
Black cultural and media practitioners gathered recently at pubic television's WNET, in New York, to discuss the legacy of "Soul," the 1968-73 public affairs program produced by the late Ellis Haizlip. Such programs were a response to the Black rebellions of the Sixties, said Dr. Todd Burroughs, an independent journalist and authority on African American media. Haizlip was able to convince Black artists "to talk about their art as Black people engaged in a struggle for Black liberation," said Burroughs. Funding for the genre dried up in favor of "shows that would allow a more comfortable viewing experience."

Detroit Will be Democracy's Decisive Battle
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
Detroit is the battleground chosen by Wall Street to crush the last vestiges of American democracy by creating "the template for direct corporate rule." Finance capital recognizes that it can no longer coexist with democratic institutions, which are most easily destroyed by attacking Black rule in the cities.
End Game For Corporate School Reform: Privatized Holding Tanks, Remote Ed, Military Charter Schools
A Black Agenda Radio Commentary by BAR managing editor Bruce A. Dixon
Chicago, the city the president and his secretary of education hail from, has been the laboratory of corporate education reform and privatization. Among its "innovations" are the mass closings of public schools, and handing over entire schools to the army, the navy and the marines.

Freedom Rider: Black Faces for White People
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
Halloween brings out the worst, in the worst white folks. "What was an enjoyable time to dress up in costume has become the white racist moment to act out sick fantasy." The bigots would like their version of Halloween to last all year. "A return to the good old days of slavery, colonial violence, invasions and occupations is something they pine for quite openly."
How Serious is the Caribbean Reparations Suit?
A Black Agenda Radio commentary by executive editor Glen Ford
Fourteen Caribbean countries are suing to compel Britain, France and The Netherlands to pay reparations for centuries of slavery. However, the plaintiffs may have more modest goals in mind. The Caribbean nations "are already allowing their British lawyer to telegraph that all they really want is a nice package of aid with a 'reparations' bow tied around it."

What's a Little Surveillance Among Friends?
by BAR editor and columnist Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo
Thanks to Edward Snowden, the world is learning that the United States spies on…everyone. Friends, foes, allies, adversaries, it doesn't matter – the National Security Agency has your number and isn't shy about dialing it. Republicans are Obama's best friends when it comes to mega-surveillance.
Worse Than Apartheid: Black in Obama's America
by Jon Jeter
The U.S. Black-white wealth gap is larger than in South Africa at the height of apartheid. The statistic is all the more remarkable when considering that South Africa virtually mandated gross inequality by law, while in the U.S. the great chasm exists "within a political economy that is at least nominally democratic" and packed with Black elected officials, including "the sitting head of state."
Basketball Mayor Hypes School Privatization, Shoots An Air Ball
by Seth Sandronsky
Charter school operators and their political servants make bogus claims of educational gains – claims that are often passed along as fact by supposedly reputable media. Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson is a propagandist for privatization, and an ally of corporations that have a huge stake in undermining public schools. "It is vital to follow the money on issues such as public education."
R2P As An Instrument of Aggression
by Edward S. Herman
"Responsibility to Protect" is a bogus doctrine designed to undermine the very foundations of international law. It is law rewritten for the powerful "The structures and laws that underlie the application of R2P exempt the Great Power enforcers from the laws and rules that they enforce on the lesser powers."

The Philadelphia 76ers last visited the NBA Finals in 2000 and won the whole thing in 1983, but there hasn't been a lot of Brotherly Love for the Sixers in recent years as the team has either not made the playoffs at all or lost in the first round since 2003.
But now the team has new ownership, a new hope as the season is getting set to begin on Dec. 25, and a new mascot that will debut early in the year. That last one, actually, hasn't been decided on just yet — so the team is asking fans to help determine the next face of the franchise will be, according to CSNPhilly. After all, whether it is Big Ben, B. Franklin Dogg, or Phil E. Moose, it will likely be around long after everybody on the current roster is gone.
The last mascot the Sixers had, a rabbit named Hip Hop, spent most of its time strutting around and doing crazy dunks off of trampolines. Last month, he was bounced out after fans told the new ownership that he had to go. So now the team is trying to figure out whether it wants a mascot in the form of Benjamin Franklin, a dog, or, oddly, a moose.Continue reading...

Air New Zealand isn't above doing something a little scandalous to bring in customers and publicity. Two years ago, it painted uniforms onto the skin of supposed members of a ANZ flight crew for an ad campaign, raising more than a few eyebrows.
Then a year ago, the airline introduced a brand mascot: a raunchy puppet named Rico, who starred in an online-only ad campaign in which he used "sexual innuendo and chats with B-grade celebrities," such as David Hasselhoff, Richard Simmons, Snoop Dogg and Lindsay Lohan, to help sell the airline, according to New Zealand's Stuff.
Rico found some success, collecting 4.5 million YouTube viewers and more than 48,000 Facebook fans along the way. ANZ is likely the only major airline that had a series of online ads starring a puppet that all opened with the text, "The following video contains language and themes of a sensitive nature. Viewer discretion is advised."Continue reading...

While McDonald's is still the overwhelming powerhouse in fast-food burger chain, it appears that Burger King will soon be dethroned and it will come at the hands of a young pigtailed redhead.
The Orange County Register reports that Wendy's is expected to surpass BK in the U.S., perhaps as early as this year, according to a report by Janney Capital Markets that was released Tuesday.
"We expect Wendy's to overtake privately-held Burger King for the number-two market-share position within the limited-service hamburger sector, perhaps as soon as this year," wrote analyst Mark Kalinowski in the report, according to the Register.Continue reading...

Now, with less than 250 days to go before the London 2012 summer games, the New York Times notes that, in addition to TV commercials, the IOC and London Olympic organizers are using the tagline as the basis of a global campaign "to reach younger viewers through social media, user-generated content and other digital offerings." The goal is not only to engage the public, but particularly youths, in London 2012 via the web, mobile and social media.Continue reading...

With the winter holidays coming fast, Penn State fans can usually expect to get a random new piece of gear with a Nittany Lions logo on it (a 32-quarter inflatable beach cooler, maybe?) or at least a new PSU sweatshirt or T-shirt.
However, thanks to the heinous child-molestation charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, people are keeping their PSU merchandise in their bureaus these days and sales of PSU-related sports gear is down 40%, according to CNN.com. It's a sad Penn State of affairs, indeed, for the once-proud Lions and Penn supporters.Continue reading...

Yes, she's had a few cosmetic makeovers through the decades, to make sure she doesn't look school-marmish or like June Cleaver on the cake-mix boxes. But now that she's just turned 90 years old, Betty Crocker is undergoing one of the biggest changes ever: She's going digital. And that may be the best way for General Mills' baking-brand spokeswoman (a persona created in 1921 to answer home bakers' questions) to make it comfortably into the next century.
Betty's birthday celebration has been at the center of a new campaign by the brand that has included new cupcake recipes (Red Velvet Triple Stack and Ooey Gooey Pumpkin Caramel varieties sound particularly enticing), a promotional trip to the birthday "bash" at Betty Crocker Kitchens in Minneapolis attended by a 24-year-old Arizonan who won a contest, and a new version of the iconic Betty Crocker "Big Red" cookbook. Betty was already on Twitter and Facebook, but now she's got a new online destination that includes 1,500 recipes, 1,100 all-new photographs, an expanded store, and access to 85 videos and 400 additional recipes.Continue reading...

The Tug of Autumn
Beauty I meant to Share Sooner
A Walk With The Imagination
This summer, The Mad Potter of Martha's Vineyard, Bill O'Calloghan and his wife Robin Tuck created a story experience at Polly Hill Arboretum. It was enchanting. I visited twice.
I've long been a fan of Bill's, and decided to carry some of his magic further afield, by hiding one of his dragons in a stone wall along a walk near our home. That gave me so much secret joy, that I soon began hiding a few other bits of magic…
Only those who look will ever be able to see…
My husband says that I am very eccentric… to which, I say….well, I shall always be amused.
I am reminded, for some reason, of this wonderful exhibit I once saw in San Diego, called "A Palace for Wenesday." I hope this brings you delight in the creative imagination; in eccentricity; in the dance we all have with the unseen world.
Praise and Unspoken Gratitudes
I wish I could bring you with me on walks around the island. I snap photographs and jot notes in my notebook, receiving words and poems.
Here is this morning's poem……..
There are undreamed dreams inside you.
Might you name a few?
There are some hopes that were dashed and are jagged -
could you breathe them into repair?
And what of praise and unspoken gratitudes-
begin to speak them in every moment.
Speak them and feel your life turning
from worry into song.
~Ingrid Goff-Maidoff

Writing for Spiritual Guidance: on becoming still and small
(photo by Vineyard Colors)
I sat down to write a letter the other day, to a friend who is going through a divorce. I wasn't sure what I should say, so I sat with my pen above the page for a little while, until I felt the warm stirring of guidance. "You should write this:" the voice said, and I was led to put down just a few gentle words of wisdom and compassion, love and forgiveness – words that would comfort my friend: words that were not my own.
Yesterday I received an email from this friend thanking me for the letter which she said she had been reading over and over again, until she finally posted it with a magnet on her fridge. She wrote to me that the words in that letter were more healing to her than she knew how to say.
What I realized as I read her letter is that I can't begin to take credit for those words of love and healing. I was only an open vessel through which they could come. That is how it often is with writing for me- whether I am writing a book like the Honey Sutras, or Befriending the Soul, a poem, prayer, or a letter. It's this realization that I want to share with you today.
There is a voice which speaks to all of us, and sometimes we can hear it. Some call it "the still, small voice" of the spirit. But what I've found is that the voice itself isn't actually still, or small- it is a generous, numinous, loving and guiding voice- a voice we hear best when we ourselves become still and small. It is when I make myself still- quiet, open, inviting and receptive that the voice comes. It is when I become small, reducing my own sense of knowing, of judgment or righteousness or grandeur that the voice comes.
When we allow ourselves to become still and small, humbling ourselves before the mystery, not knowing what may come yet waiting in friendship, in receptivity, in deep listening- that is when the voice comes. When we are willing to be an empty vessel, to surrender and be of service- when we offer our pens up as an instrument for divine guidance and healing: that is when the voice comes.
New Journals, and an inspiring quote
In love with color, I've sewn together limited editons of 8 different journals… Visit here to see them all.
This one is called Pensive, and is from a painting by my Great Grandfather, Arthur Spear.
"You can't say to a person, "Your cynicism is destructive.
You have to show them the way of delight, the way of joy, the way of poetry -
and let the chips fall where they may." Robert Aitken Roshi

As proof the national media is trying to Ferguson into Selma – with no appreciation of a difference in racism between Alabama in the 1960s and St. Louis in 2014 – see Krissah Thompson's Thanksgiving Day dissertation in The Washington Post.

Is there no beloved American tradition the liberal media won't try to sour? "A Warning on Nutmeg," a silly post from the New York Times' health section, failed to come close to justifying its alarmist headline, and functioned as a near parody of liberal media handwringing.

NY Times Hypocritically Spreads Skepticism on Ferguson Grand Jury; Calls Cops an 'Alien, Occupying Force'By Clay Waters | November 27, 2014 | 12:27 PM EST
The New York Times continued to spread skepticism about the decision by a grand jury in Ferguson, Mo., not to seek criminal charges against a white police officer who shot a black teenager. The Times hypocritically upended its own liberal sensibility by suggesting more prosecutorial zeal would have been a good thing in this particular case. And a lead editorial likened the Ferguson police to "an alien, occupying force that is synonymous with state-sponsored abuse."

On November 25, Time.com posted an article by Darlena Cunha titled "In Defense of Rioting," insisting that peaceful protests are only a "luxury" to those safely in "mainstream culture", that riots are a "necessary part of the evolution of society", and even brought the Tea Party into the mix by comparing the peaceful Tea Party protestors of today to those of the Boston Tea Party rioters in the past.

Erin Burnett's bizarre suggestion that yelling "Burn that bitch down" might not be a call to violence was challenged even inside CNN on Tuesday.

During his MSNBC show on Wednesday night, Ed Schultz and guest Mike Papantonio devoted five minutes to promoting, among other things, their beliefs that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson "crafted his answers" to the grand jury and in his interview with ABC News "to match the law" and that Fox News, the tea party, and conservatives will soon want their "made-for-TV folk hero" in Wilson to run for Congress and appear on Dancing with the Stars.
Following a series of clips from Wilson's interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, Schultz welcomed in Papantonio and felt it was crucial to warn viewers that "I'm going to judge here, okay" that Wilson had "got crafted answers to match the law so he could escape justice."

In speech at the National Press Club on Tuesday, New York's senior Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer expressed regret over how Democrats handled their large majorities following the 2008 election in passing ObamaCare when they should have focused first on economic issues to address the recession.
Since then, the remarks have received no coverage from any of the "big three" in ABC, CBS, and NBC on either their respective morning or evening newscasts in a situation that undoubtedly would not be the case if a Republican Senator had expressed doubts about an initiative by a Republican-controlled Congress and White House.

If You're Coming To Costa Rica - COME HERE TO EAT!Posted on 02 / 23 / 2014
We went here on our second night and on our ninth night in Costa Rica. In between, my wife & I kept talking about how much we were looking forward to returning to El Chante Vegano. The food was to die for & in all the towns we visited, THIS was the place with best food for the money.
The restaurant is actually vegan with the possibility of having dairy cheese on the pizza they offer if you prefer so even if you don't speak or read Spanish very well, you can safely order anything off the menu if you're vegan.
The staff was super friendly & family-run. We enjoyed talking and laughing with everyone who worked there. They helped to translate some of the dishes that we couldn't decifer & we never had to wait long for any assistance.
The food was delicious. Each night we were there we had 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes, & 2 desserts. You cannot pick a bad or average dish. Everything was exceptional & the portions were big enough for even the biggest of appetites (& I'm no slouch when it comes to eating big meals). The plaintain appetizer was super tastey & the guacamole they serve was probably the best I've had. The burgers are large & the bread they are served on is soft & amazing. I could've ate the buns alone as another appetizer.
I'm a big coffee drinker & this was the 1st place I was able to get a cup of coffee. They had soy milk but you really don't need much if you don't like black coffee b/c even the black coffee is sweet enough to drink plain.
The music & atmosphere was chill, warm, & inviting. You can really tell the love & work that went into putting the place together.
Truly, you canNOT find a better place to grab food within a fifty kilometer radius (if not the entire country). After a long day of hiking around the Poas Volcano area, this is THE place to refuel.
They only take cash but you can pay in either US dollars or local Costa Rican colones.
I can't wait to return to Costa Rica. I am saddened I can't eat here every day.

O2's Facebook initiative attracts 63,000 students in 11 days
LONDON - An O2-branded Facebook group has attracted more than 63,000 members, making it one of the most successful UK communities to appear on the social networking site.
The mobile network operator made its first foray onto Facebook just 11 days ago with the launch of a sponsored group dedicated to 'The Battle for the UK's Favourite University'.
The o2 Facebook group encourages students to generate 'noise' on behalf of their university by uploading photos and comments. The university with the most Facebook activity at the end of a 30-day period will win a £50,000 o2-branded on-campus party.
In the 11 days since its launch, the o2 branded group has attracted 63,987 members. These members have taken part in 343 online discussions, posted 11,053 messages and uploaded 70 video clips to the Facebook page.
The o2 group, created by Agency Republic, is already more popular than H&M's branded community, which has 22,665 members, while rival Virgin Mobile has attracted just 1,036 internet users to its sponsored page.
o2's Facebook group is part of a wider marketing campaign in support of its Favourite Place tariff, which offers 500 minutes of free calls to UK landlines and o2 mobiles from registered postcodes. The tariff is being aimed at students, allowing them to register their halls of residence address and take advantage of free calls to home.
Earlier this month Facebook kick-started its UK expansion strategy with the appointment of Yahoo! commercial director Blake Chandlee as UK head of sales and its first employee outside the US.

SAFLink: Perfect for Windows
Trusted Space: Layered security
Other players in the biometric management companies
Although not yet mainstream, biometrics are steadily gaining ground within the federal government as a means of network authentication. The use of biological characteristics to authenticate users offers a level of security unmatched by passwords and tokens because biological traits cannot be forgotten, lost or stolen, and they are very difficult to mimic.
Increased security concerns, maturing technology and falling costs are playing a large role in the growth rate. The attitudes of end users are another factor allowing the growth of biometrics. Since the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, many people have accepted security measures that they previously thought were unacceptably invasive.
For network access, most agencies are interested in layered security, meaning more than one means of authentication is required to gain access. Layered security can mean two biometrics, such as a fingerprint and iris scan, but more
often it means a biometric combined with a token, such as a smart card or radio frequency ID badge. Biometrics are also often combined with a public-key infrastructure.
Layered biometric authentication requires policy-based software that can manage the different devices and tokens, if necessary, on a network. This type of software integrates with the log-in process to replace passwords with biometric authentication.
Agencies should ask several questions before purchasing biometric management software. First, how well does the product integrate with the existing network infrastructure? Does the system utilize existing data storage, or do separate databases for biometric information need to be created? Scalability should also be questioned: Will the product be able to accommodate future needs?
Biometric device compatibility is also an important factor. Not all management packages are compatible with all devices. You should determine which devices you'll initially be using and also which ones you might want to use in the future.
When considering devices, check to see which, if any, industry standard the device complies with. The federal government mandates use of devices that comply with the Biometric Application Programming Interface. BioAPI is an American National Standards Institute standard and is more current than the Human Authentication Application Programming Interface (HA-API), an older standard that is not as common.
We compare the two highest-profile biometric authentication management systems, SAFLink Corp.'s SAFsolution Enterprise Edition and Computer Consultants and Merchants (CC&M) Inc.'s Trusted Space. Both products can also be used for physical access, but here we focus on network access.

AWKWORD - Gas Land (Frack Off)
Artist: AWKWORD
Featuring: Chaundon
Producer: Numonics
Album: World View
Avg Rating: 3.7 ( 3 votes )
Hydrofracturing, the practice of injecting water, sand and chemicals into the earth at high pressure in order to extract petroleum and natural gas, has the potential to contaminate ground water, damage air quality and exacerbate global warming, but corporate pressure has led the EPA to downplay its dangers. On new single Gas Land, a Booth-exclusive world premiere, AWKWORD sends a message to all who prize profits over public and environmental health: Frack Off! Over Numonics's ominous, brass-led beat, the NYC spitter makes a passionate argument against fracking, weaving copious amounts of factual knowledge into his flow. South Bronx mainstay Chaundon rails against corporate corruption in an equally incisive closing 16. Gas Land is the opening track off AWK's World View LP, scheduled to hit The DJBooth this Sunday for streaming and purchase. All proceeds from its sale will go to Guns 4 Cameras, a 501c3 nonprofit working to eradicate gun violence.

A brief update; in pictures.
Becoming the Law.
Hello Folks!
Opening this Friday at Los Angeles's own Hero Complex Gallery is the group show "I Am the Law / A Life of Crime" exploring the dichotomy and grey spaces between those that create and enforce the law and those that skirt it. The show opens August 15th at 7:00 pm PST; online sales typically open the next day. For more information, visit their Event Page.
My contributions include "Outlaw" and "Wheelman"
Each one is an 11″ x 14″ OG Graphite on Bristol.
There will be an available printed Limited Edition (10 prints each) Giclée on 280 gsm Rives BFK.
More Detailed Images after the Break.
If you didn't have the opportunity to check it out, Bottleneck Gallery hosted another Chogrin curated show in Brooklyn over the weekend called: 8 Bit and Beyond 2 which highlighted video games across the ages. My contribution was of a Katamari in nature playing one of childhood's favorite games.
Now available for purchase through their online store, "So Many Card Pickup!" is a limited edition of 10 Giclée on 280 gsm Rives BFK. Yes, that's right, Fancy Paper. It has a nice tooth and really highlights and complements the imagery!
New Work, Work Horse, Horsing Around: Take Your Pick…
I suppose it's been a while since I've posted some new projects. maybe it's just because I've had so many irons in the fire that none of them were ready until recently? Not sure.
Anyhow, this is what's been happening:
- Preparing Work for a series titled "Spatium Progenie" – nature and biospheres and landscapes and such
- Many Shows starting Late Summer through the end of the year:
- 8 Bit and Beyond 2 at Bottleneck Gallery
- A Life of Crime at Hero Complex Gallery
- Mulling over some Paintings that were started, yet never finished…
- Conceptualizing a show to open in January 2015 at Hot Pop Gallery in Milwaukee, WI
- Making sure my new store at the Square Marketplace is set to sell
Here's some available pictures for your eyes to chew on:

I really like this dress Kocotte and the addition of the sequin trim is a beautiful finish. I have subscribed to your blog, so I hope Google translate does it's job and translates so that I can understand what you have written. The other ladies raglan tops/dresses are all lovely too. A great idea as I think raglans are very flattering on most people.

Thanks for following me on my blog. I love organising challenges. The sequin trim is the Kocotte's touch
Yes, raglan sleeves are very flattering, you should try
