Back-to-school study finds high levels of chemicals in kids backpacks, suppliesAugust 28, 2012 // Comments Off
(CBS News)
Children's back-to-school backpacks and other supplies may contain higher levels of potentially toxic chemicals than the government allows in most toys, a new study shows.
The study found that about 75 percent of children's school supplies contain high levels of potentially toxic phthalates. New York Sen. Charles Schumer called for new laws to regulate the chemical while discussing the report, which was released by the advocacy group Center for Health, Environment & Justice.
"School supplies are supposed to help our children with their education, they shouldn't be harming their health," Schumer said in an emailed press release. "We don't allow high levels of these toxic chemicals in children's toys and we certainly shouldn't allow them in back-to-school products. When kids take their lunch to school this fall, they shouldn't be carrying it in a lunchbox laden with toxic chemicals."
The CHEJ says phthalates are a class of chemical used to soften vinyl plastic that are hazardous at even low levels of exposure. Phthalates have been linked to birth defects, early puberty, infertility, asthma, ADHD, obesity, and diabetes.
For the investigation, scientists randomly purchased and tested 20 back-to-school items from New York City dollar stores and other retailers. They found Disney's Dora the Explorer Backpack contained phthalate levels over 69 times higher than the allowable federal limit for toys. The Amazing Spiderman Lunchbox contained 27 times the federal limit, while the Disney Princess Lunchbox exceeded the toy limit by 29 times. Children's rain coats, rain boots and 3-ring binders also were found to contain the toxins.

Dominic McGuire signs one-year deal with Charlotte
Jul 9, 2010, 5:34 PM EST
According to Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports, the Charlotte Bobcats have signed Dominic McGuire to a one-year guaranteed deal. Terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed.
Injuries limited McGuire to only 51 games last season; even when healthy, McGuire is one of the most offensively limited players in the NBA. He's only averaged 2.4 points per game over the course of his career, and has made exactly three total three-pointers in 200 games.
What Dominic McGuire has always brought is hard-nosed defense and energy, even on a Washington Wizards team that often seemed completely disinterested in playing defense. He hardly played for the Kings after he was sent to Sacramento in a mid-season trade, but Larry Brown apparently thinks highly enough of the way McGuire plays the game to give him a shot at making his rotation in Charlotte.

Donations sought for June blues festival at RiverHawks Stadium
• Group seeks $2,000 in donations on Kickstarter by Jan. 19, 2013
By Steve Jones
President, Crossroads Blues Society and Festival Chairman
We want to bring a blues festival back to Rockford, and RiverHawks Stadium has agreed to let us host one there on June 22, 2013!
A blues festival in the Rockford metro area has been a dream for Crossroads Blues Society to get started up. We have set a fund-raising goal of $4,000 to make this event a reality. We are seeking corporate sponsorship in a traditional manner, and we are also trying Kickstarter as a way to get this rolling. To inaugurate this event for 2013, we want to raise at least $2,000 via Kickstarter by 6:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 19, to help defray the costs and allow us to bring the blues back to Rockford! (See http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1604591407/field-of-blues-festival.)
Public lands have always been a hard thing to utilize. The city has a 50-plus-page document to fill out to use public lands (including parks) for any private event. We have been looking for a place on private property that is conducive to making this a success, and we have come to an agreement with the Rockford RiverHawks baseball team to use RiverHawks Stadium as a venue for a blues festival. We need a place that is easy to manage, and they need people to use the stadium for other uses, and we have agreed to work together to make June 22, 2013, the day to hold the first blues festival in the Rockford area in several years.
Crossroads works with the Byron Bar Association to run the Byron Crossroads Blues Festival. This festival has been a success for the first three years of its life, and it will continue as a great Saturday event the weekend before Labor Day.
The Forest City needs its own festival. Yes, it has On the Waterfront, which has the blues and so much more. We want a festival completely devoted to the blues and music, and we know there are people out there who do, too! We are here on Kickstarter to get this off the ground and started. If we prove it can be done, we will be able to go to local businesses with the inaugural event under our belts as proof it is viable.
Crossroads is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose aim is to raise money for Blues In The Schools, which we call BITS. BITS is an effort to bring blues musicians into local schools to educate students about the roots of all American popular music and to entertain them. Help us get this festival started so we can expand our BITS program and bring a great new annual event to the greater Rockford area! Sponsorships start at only $15.

Another View: Let's show the airlines that Manchester can support more flights
In this environment of economic uncertainty, high fuel prices and airline industry consolidations, regional airports like Manchester need to work even harder to "sell" their business case to airlines when aggressively pursuing larger aircraft, additional flights and new destinations. There are 439 commercial service airports across the country and almost every one of them is actively vying for dwindling airline/aircraft resources. Airlines are constantly evaluating the many routes they serve, eliminating their least profitable flights and reassigning those aircraft to new markets.
In New England, increasing low cost carrier (LCC) competition at Boston's Logan International Airport (BOS) has created additional challenges for MHT and T.F. Green Airport (PVD) in Providence, R.I. As a region, New England is smaller than several U.S. states, and a well-established interstate highway network makes all three Boston-area airports viable for air traveler consideration. Although Manchester is more convenient, more friendly and often more affordable, New Hampshire air travelers do have a choice when they need to travel for business or leisure.
Manchester-Boston Regional Airport is an important economic engine for New Hampshire. It creates jobs, facilitates commerce and provides access to the global marketplace. The airport contributes approximately $1 billion each year to the state's economy in the form of annual payroll, local taxes and out-of-state-passenger expenditures.
We are very excited about our new flights, and we are encouraged that hard work and perseverance are starting to pay dividends. We've been working for quite a while with Delta, US Airways, Southwest, United and others (YES, jetBlue!) trying to recapture seat capacity lost during the past few years.
I truly believe that New Hampshire has been presented with a real opportunity to show the airlines that this state not only wants more flights, but that it can support more flights. In 2012, MHT had the highest load factor (percentage of aircraft seats filled) in the region (88 percent), and we are committed to help make these new flights, as well as our other existing flights, successful. We are keeping our costs to airlines affordable (lower than BOS and PVD), maintaining our facilities and infrastructure to ensure safe and efficient operations, and marketing the airport to air travelers across the region and beyond. We are hopeful that all of New Hampshire's citizens will join us in supporting these new flights.
We understand that travel decisions are often complex and don't always fall our way. Sometimes flight schedules or airfare specials on an airline not operating at MHT encourage the use of another airport; we get it. However, as your airport, we ask that you consider Manchester, and research flight opportunities out of Manchester before making your air travel decision.
We have approximately 50 daily departures to 16 nonstop destinations, with convenient one-stop connections to the world. Developing and maintaining strong demand (filling seats) motivates the airlines to add more flights, bring in larger aircraft, and begin service to new destinations. I am confident that if you plan ahead and have a little flexibility, you will find a flight out of MHT that meets your needs. As always, we appreciate your business.
Let's show the airlines that New Hampshire deserves these new flights. Fly MHT!

Boehner Lets Slip Again the Repug Disdain for the Other 98%
One doesn't have to stretch their imagination too far to glimpse the Republican vision for the future – just turn back the clock to the "gilded age" where super-rich robber barons ran government and lived in opulence while lording mercilessly over the common people.
Don't take my word for it… take if from the Republicans themselves. In spite of Republican Pollster Frank Luntz's directive for Republicans to stay on their fake populist message in an effort to convince Teatards that "freedom" equals the "freedom" of transnational corporations to ride you to the bank unfettered by pesky government, the compulsively pro-corporate, GOP class war agenda can't help but sometimes slip from their well-fed GOP mouths.
From Joe Barton's apology to corporate felon BP, to Sharron Angle's view that unemployment benefits are 'spoiling' the lazy citizenry, the GOP staffers are keeping busy desperately releasing retractions every time one of these out-of-touch bastards comes out of their gated communities to spit in the face of the late, great, middle class, destroyed by 30 years of Reaganomics.
This latest example is the orange-hued House Republican Leader John Boehner, who, like all rich GOP bastards, went to bat for his true masters – the rich and their giant corporations, by saying financial reform is like attacking an "ant" with a nuclear weapon. I guess he would have a point if that "ant" was capable of destroying 8 million jobs and collapsing the world economy.
Boehner also wants to ensure there's enough money to pay for corporate America's never-ending wars by "reforming the country's entitlement system," and raising the Security retirement age to 70.
So, not only are that "small people" expected to die for corporate America, we are now expected to work our elderly fingers to the bone – or die quickly so as not to be a burden to our "betters." THAT is how much Republicans hate the other 98%.
The out of touch, well-fed and GOP leader who also enjoys top of the line heath insurance while millions of those he professes to represent go bankrupt or die for lack of care, said he would work to repeal health insurance reform the next time Repugs buy, vote rig and dupe their way into power.
He also charged that Democrats are "snuffing out the America that I grew up in." Never mind the reality that the richest Americans paid an 92% top marginal tax rate in the America that Boehner grew up in.
Following the cue of sore-loser Rethugs who still can't face the fact that a black man is President, Boehner believes that a "political rebellion" akin to the American revolution of 1776 is brewing.
(Never mind that Teabaggers are too willfully ignorant to know that the Boston Tea Party which sparked the American Revolution, was prompted by the egregious marriage between the world's first transnational corporation, the East India Company, and the government nthat ensured it could ride the Colonists' backs unregulated without concern for country or community.)
For all their claims of being guardians of the Constitution, Boehner is following a familiar CONservatives meme of making veiled threats of violence against our duly elected government, proving their utter lack of respect for our democratic system and their desperation for power.
Much like the wealthy Business Plot against FDR when he dared to put the government on the side of the People and create and empower the American Middle Class though the New Deal, the Republicans will do anything to get their boney fingers around the neck of power so they can continue to ensure their Plutocratic base can keep their boots on working people's necks while they turn "The Land of the Free" into "The United States of Serfs and Lords."

Ayotte sees high voter turnout in Ukraine election
Ayotte, R-N.H., was one of thousands of international observers monitoring the voting in the former Soviet republic on Sunday.
Ayotte appeared on Fox News Sunday and said the polling stations she visited in Kiev were running smoothly.
"People are waiting patiently," she said. "They want to exercise their right to vote and to elect a new president."
Ayotte said it is a different scene in two eastern Ukraine provinces, where Russian separatists have blocked voting through "violence, intimidation and fear."
Ayotte said the unrest in the east could be leading to the high turnout in the west.
"I think what you see here is actually pushback against what has happened with the Russian aggression," she said.

How in the Heck to You Grill a Well Done Steak That's Not Dry?
I love to grill. My problem is, I'm not very good at it. At least one part of it.
I do a pretty good job choosing meat and picking seasoning and marinades. I can grill up what I think is a pretty killer medium to medium well steak but when it comes to a well done steak, I'm completely missing the mark.

- Renowned American poet Galway Kinnell died of leukemia last week at the age of 87. Kinnell received numerous accolades throughout his career, including the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award for 1982′s Selected Poems—as well as a MacArthur genius grant, a poet laureateship in Vermont, a chancellorship at the American Academy of Poets, and, most recently, the 2010 Wallace Stevens Award for lifetime achievement. The World War II vet, anti-Vietnam War activist, and civil rights champion infused his verse with the gritty social issues pervading the '60s, '70s, and '80s. The Los Angeles Times writes that the Kinnell is celebrated for his "forceful, spiritual takes on the outsiders and underside of contemporary life," and how he "blended the physical and the philosophical, not shying from the most tactile and jarring details of humans and nature." His work reflects the influence that Walt Whitman and friend W.S. Merwin had on him. Kinnell—who also taught at New York University, Sarah Lawrence College, and Reed College before retiring in 2011—is survived by his wife, two children from a former marriage, and two grandchildren.

On the Books: Amazon reportedly opening its first brick-and-mortar store
- Amazon is coming to Midtown. The The Wall Street Journal reports that the online giant is set to open its first brick-and-mortar store at 7 W. 34th St. in Manhattan, directly across the street from the Empire State Building. Herald Square, Madison Square Garden, Penn Station—major hubs for locals and tourists alike—are all a block or two away from the retailer-savvy location. In addition to the nearby stores (like the Macy's flagship location, Forever 21, and H&M)—as well as a smartly timed opening just in time for the holiday shopping season—Amazon's first serious venture into face-to-face consumer interaction is poised to bring in a lot of foot traffic. (They experimented with a popup Kindle shop in San Francisco last year.) In August, a peak number of about 6,000 people per hour passed in front of the H&M on the same block. Amazon has declined to comment on the story. [The Wall Street Journal]

'Where the Heart Is' author Billie Letts dies at 76
Billie Letts, the author of the bestselling novel Where the Heart Is, has died. She was 76, and according to her son Tracy Letts, she died of pneumonia.
Letts taught at Southeastern Oklahoma State University and published her first book, Where the Heart Is, about a pregnant teenager abandoned by her boyfriend and stranded in a WalMart, in 1995. When the book was released in paperback, it caught the eye of Oprah Winfrey, who featured the novel on her television show.
Winfrey's endorsement shot the book up bestseller lists. The novel has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide, according to The New York Times. In 2000, a film adaptation of the book was released, starring Natalie Portman and Ashley Judd. Dennis Letts, Billie's husband, and also had a role in the movie—he became an actor once he retired from teaching.
After publishing Where the Heart Is, Letts wrote three more novels—The Honk and Holler Opening Soon, Made in the U.S.A., and Shoot the Moon.
She is survived by three children: Dana Letts, Shawn Letts, and playwright Tracy Letts. Tracy won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for August: Osage County, which was adapted into a 2013 movie starring Meryl Streep.
Nobel Prize-winning South African author Nadine Gordimer dies at 90
Nadine Gordimer, a South African writer whose work criticized her country's apartheid and won her the Nobel Prize in Literature, has died. She was 90.
Born in South Africa in 1923, Gordimer published her first novel, The Lying Days, in 1953. But her preferred form was the short story. The New Yorker published her story A Watcher of the Dead in 1951, bringing her work to an international audience, and she eventually published 22 short-story collections over her lifetime as well as 15 novels and numerous plays and essay collections.
Under apartheid, three of Gordimer's books were banned for their political content. Those three books—The Conservationist, Burger's Daughter, and July's People—went on to become her most celebrated, and are considered essential in postcolonial literature. Gordimer identified South African readership as politically inclined. "In the recognition that the encouragement of literature is part of liberation, trade unions and community groups among the black majority have set up libraries and cultural debate."
When Gordimer won the Nobel Prize in 1991, she spoke about how writing is a way of understanding the relationship between people and the world, and that political ideas play a part. "We spend our lives attempting to interpret through the word the readings we take in the societies, the world of which we are part," she said. "It is in this sense, this inextricable, ineffable participation, that writing is always and at once an exploration of self and of the world; of individual and collective being."
'Where's Spot?' creator Eric Hill dies at 86
Eric Hill, the author and illustrator of a beloved series of children's books featuring Spot the Dog, has died. He was 86.
Born on September 7th, 1927 in London, Hill began his career as a teenager, working as an errand boy for an illustration studio while drawing comics in his spare time. By 1976, he invented the character Spot the Dog for his son, Christopher. In 1980, the first Spot book — Where's Spot? – was published. The book included a lift-the-flap concept, which Hill modeled after a flyer he worked on as a freelance advertising designer.
Spot topped bestseller lists within weeks, and Hill followed up his initial success with Spot's Birthday Party, Spot Goes to the Farm, and Spot Loves His Friends. Altogether, the books have sold over 60 million copies around the world and have been translated into 60 languages. Various animated television series based on the book's characters were launched between 1986 and 2000. READ FULL STORY

In response to the diagnosis, Spencer-Wendel went traveling with her family, vowing to enjoy the time she had left. Those journeys turned into the memoir Until I Say Good-bye. READ FULL STORY
Maya Angelou: Saying goodbye to a literary giant
Maya Angelou — the trailblazing and award-winning poet and memoirist — has died at her home in Winston-Salem, North Carolina at the age of 86. Her son Guy B. Johnson, who survives her along with several grandchildren, said in a statement, "Her family is extremely grateful that her ascension was not belabored by a loss of acuity or comprehension. She lived a life as a teacher, activist, artist and human being. She was a warrior for equality, tolerance and peace. The family is appreciative of the time we had with her and we know that she is looking down upon us with love."
She was born Marguerite Ann Johnson (her nickname, "Maya," was bestowed by her older brother) on April 4, 1928 in St. Louis. After her parents split when she was 3, Angelou was sent to live with her paternal grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. It was when she returned to her mother and St. Louis a few years later that a series of traumas began: at the age of 8, she was raped by her mother's boyfriend. She went to her older brother, who alerted the rest of the family. The man was arrested and convicted, though he was murdered before serving any time in jail. Angelou assumed that he had been killed by her uncles, and the young girl didn't speak for years afterwards. "I thought, my voice killed him; I killed that man, because I told his name," she wrote in 1969′s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sing. READ FULL STORY
Maya Angelou, celebrated author and poet, dies at 86
Maya Angelou, the Presidential Medal of Freedom-winning writer whose storied, prolific career stretched over five decades, has died at the age of 86. Winston-Salem Mayor Allen Joines confirmed the author's death Wednesday morning, according to local North Carolina news station Fox 8.
Angelou was born in St. Louis, Mo., in 1928. Her tragic childhood — she was sexually assaulted at the age of eight by her mother's boyfriend, who was later murdered after she testified against him, and as a result of the trauma Angelou didn't speak for nearly a decade — is chronicled in Angelou's work, most notably her 1969 autobiography I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. Angelou wrote six additional autobiographies, as well as plays, screenplays, numerous speeches, and countless poems, including "On the Pulse of Morning," which Angelou recited at President Bill Clinton's first inauguration in 1993.
A full obituary of Angelou is in the works. In the meantime, take note of the poet's final message, posted to her Twitter account May 23 — they're appropriately evocative last words: READ FULL STORY
Gabriel Garcia Marquez dies at 87
Nobel Prize-winning author Gabriel García Márquez has passed away at the age of 87, according to the Associated Press. García Márquez was recently hospitalized for an infection in Mexico City, and on Wednesday, April 9, he was released to convalesce at his home. The Colombian-born author and journalist is considered one of the most important writers of the 20th century. In his lifetime, he published six novels and seven nonfiction books, as well as numerous novellas and short story collections. His work transcended Spanish-language literature to become internationally beloved.
'Fatal Vision' author Joe McGinniss dies at age 71
Joe McGinniss wasn't one to let a story tell itself.
Whether insisting on the guilt of a murder suspect after seemingly befriending him or moving next door to Sarah Palin's house for a most unauthorized biography, McGinniss was unique in his determination to get the most inside information, in how publicly he burned bridges with his subjects and how memorably he placed himself in the narrative.
McGinniss, the adventurous and news-making author and reporter who skewered the marketing of Richard Nixon in The Selling of the President 1968 and tracked his personal journey from sympathizer to scourge of convicted killer Jeffrey MacDonald in the blockbuster Fatal Vision, died Monday at age 71.
McGinniss, who announced last year that he had been diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer, died from complications related to his disease. His attorney and longtime friend Dennis Holahan said he died at a hospital in Worcester, Mass. Optimistic almost to the end, he had for months posted regular updates on Facebook and Twitter, commenting on everything from foreign policy to his health.

The Investigative Musicologist Radio Show: The Public Domain
What do you think of when you hear the term "The Public Domain" in relation to music? Really old pieces? Music that has no copyright? Works in the Creative Commons? Perhaps even one or two specific genres come to mind? The label is a fluid one, to say the least, and complete consensus on it appears unlikely. In this episode we'll explore some of the ways the public domain has been understood and misperceived, and listen to music that's not only representative of these ideas, but also delivers the usual multi-directional jumble of music heard on the show.

Hiss, Crackle, Pop
The release This Is The End, Beautiful Friend by File Under Toner is a public domain treasure trove of album noise for all artists wishing to add the authentic warm crackle of old recordings to their new works. These sounds were culled from the end of the groove of vinyl, acetate, and even cardboard records.
recording the silent final grooves of records. not so silent after all. playing them loud enough to capture the hiss, the pops, the clicks. adding a couple of digital delays, some EQ and filtering, a little reverb here and there… not much, really. it's all in the records if you know where to listen....
if you have the means, stamp these tracks on a three sided LP. you will have three free extra end grooves, and a blank side to needle-surf.
Are the hiss, crackles, and pops on records protected by copyrights? This controversial project by File Under Toner (Anki Toner, founder of Hazard Records, the free public domain label) posed the question and got into some trouble.

The Absent Second: An Explanation
In 1931, the Carter Family recorded a song called "Can't Feel At Home," a spiritual about storing up treasure in heaven in the face of the world's cruelty. The chorus contains the line "I can't feel at home in this world anymore." The catalog of copyright entries produced by the Library of Congress Copyright Office contains the following notice for A.P. Carter:
Can't feel at home ; words and melody by A.P. Carter. © 1 c. Aug. 25, 1931; E unp. 45219 ; Southern music pub. co., inc., New York. 21378
A.P.'s lyric and melody is substantially equivalent to another song called "This World Is Not My Home," by Albert E. Brumley, who copyrighted his words and melody in 1936, five years after Carter. Despite the suggestion of authorship suggested by these copyrights, the song is older than either of these versions. In his essay, "Roots of Bluegrass Music," Richard L. Matteson Jr. charts its history, which reaches back in print to a 1909 hymnal and likely long before that in the oral tradition. There are two recordings that predate that of the Carter Family. One is by Sam Jones, from 1924, and the other is by The Kentucky Thorobreds, from 1927.
Sometime in the late 1930s, Woody Guthrie heard a version of the song and penned a parody of it titled "I Ain't Got No Home," which considerably changes the tone of resigned worldly rejection of the original spiritual. The line "Angels beckon me to heaven's open door/And I can't feel at home in this world anymore," becomes "Rich man took my home and drove me from my door/And I ain't got no home in this world anymore." The earliest recording of "I Ain't Got No Home" that I know of is from 1940, made by Folkways chronicler Alan Lomax for the Library of Congress.
Sixty-eight years later, in 2008, I heard "Can't Feel and Home" and "I Ain't Got No Home," and felt the latter lyric connected well with some lyrics I was writing for what would become The Emerald Arms suite. I decided to arrange "I Ain't Got No Home" as the second movement. After creating the recording and sheet music of the entire work, I set out to discover whose permission I should ask before giving the suite away online as free recordings and a score.

To mark IDC Herzliya's 20th anniversary, we spent a day following Prof. Uriel Reichman, IDC's founder and president, and Jonathan Davis, VP for External Relations, around its delightful campus.
The American Inclusion Movement's First Wave, which was focused solely on Inclusion in the workforce, has been almost entirely forgotten. It occurred in the 1930's, decades before the 1960's zeitgeist brought about broader and more famous changes in pro-disability policy, architectural barriers, and independent living. The First Wave was led by a mostly Jewish cohort of young, militant, disabled activists from Brooklyn and the Lower East Side who called themselves the League of the Physically Handicapped (LPH). The LPH was the very first mobility impaired disability-rights group in recorded history. Its leader, Sylvia Bassoff, is the forgotten mother of what would become the wider Disability Inclusion Movement in the United States.
Sylvia Bassoff was one of the victims of the 1916 polio outbreak. She was stricken at sixteen months old and was partially paralyzed from the neck down. Her parents, Jewish émigrés from Eastern Europe, provided a disability-accepting Yiddish/English-speaking household where she and her three siblings were saturated in a rich Jewish cultural and political atmosphere. That setting most certainly served at the foundation for her future as one of the most successful, if obscure, Jewish political agitators in American history. Bassoff grew up with the sense that anyone—whether a disadvantaged Jewish immigrant or a disabled person—has a right to live and work unimpeded by prejudice or policy.
When Bassoff turned eighteen, armed with self-confidence, ambition, and youthful energy, she struck out on her own and began to look for work. However, the reality of life as a disabled person in the 1930's shattered her expectations that the world would be as accepting and as her upbringing had been. Not only was she job-searching in the middle of the worst economic depression in American history, but she was obviously disabled, relying heavily on a set of crutches. Even after attending the elite Drake Business School and finishing at the top of her secretarial class, she watched as less efficient but able-bodied classmates were hired instead of her.
Finally, at the age of nineteen, she had to take a position as an envelope stuffer in a mass-mailing fundraising department at a charity that hired only persons with disabilities. Bassoff and her officemates viewed the work as degrading and segregationist.
Franklin Roosevelt had recently been elected President and his successes in spite of his mobility impairment from polio made him a hero among the disabled population. In response to the grim realities of the Depression, Roosevelt revamped the moribund Emergency Relief Bureau (ERB)—today's Human Resources Administration (HRA) – and fully implemented the WPA program. However, even though the President himself was mobility impaired, no disabled people were being hired by these Federal programs.
Young Sylvia Bassoff and colleagues viewed the WPA as the only way out of the charity sector of the workforce. After all, the WPA hired other marginalized populations, such as Jews, thanks to a standardized civil service test. However, these fair hiring practices seemed to stop with the disabled. Bassoff and thirty of her sheltered workshop colleagues, none of them with any experience in organizing or advocacy, nervously met in secret to discuss a way out of segregated charity work and into Inclusion in the workforce.
In May, 1935, the group finally acquired concrete evidence of how the disabled population was being excluded from government jobs. The WPA and ERB employment applications had a formalized discrimination system in which the page was stamped "PH" for "Physically Handicapped" upon the conclusion of a job interview. This code meant an immediate rejection of the candidate, regardless of qualifications or aptitude. Led by Bassoff, the group of young Jewish disability activists formalized their social action group. They dubbed themselves the League of the Physically Handicapped (LPH) and set out on a campaign to deal directly with the WPA policy-makers.
The LPH began their campaign to acquire WPA jobs by visiting the New York City Satellite office of the Emergency Relief Bureau (ERB), where they staged what was probably the first civil-rights sit-in in history. They entrenched themselves in the ERB office and picketed for close to a week, marching on crutches and in wheelchairs at a time when the disabled were virtually invisible. In a chaotic New York City street scene, protesters chanted critical slogans aimed at the ERB Commissioner, who declared that the government owes nothing to the disabled but institutions and home relief. He then made the self-defeating decision to subject some of the non-violent disabled activists to arrests and rough treatment in front of crowds of able-bodied sympathizers and reporters, with predictably negative press fallout.

nollywood20: God made Agbani Darego Miss World. She was not the most beautiful in the contest. God favoured her.
Let's leave God out of it for a moment. I know how Ben Bruce pulled a few strings with Ms. Julia Morley to ensure that the Nigerian representative triumphed that year. . .after the fiasco of a cancelled hosting of the event in Nigeria, and the aftermath. It cost a fortune too, but a billion thanks to Stella Obasanjo. Agbani is probably the most 'political' Miss World in history.
@ Topic
I'd choose Leila because she looks slightly 'healthier' and a whole lot prettier. Agbani has always looked like a malnourished Rwandan girl, with her gaunt face and --A cup bosoms.
