With A.J. out, White Sox confident with new starting catcher Tyler Flowers
BY DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN email@example.com March 18, 2013 11:11PM
Chicago White Sox v San Francisco Giants
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Tyler Flowers' homer in the Cactus League opener was good for the White Sox' new No. 1 catcher. It was probably good for the big chunk of fan base that is having a hard time cutting the cord with A.J. Pierzynski.
It was a reminder that Flowers, who also has three doubles and is batting .316 this spring, has a chance to be a run producer in his first full season.
Hitting coach Jeff Manto believes he will.
"The more camp goes on the more optimistic I'm getting" Manto said about Flowers. "There is no real big timing mechanism that he needs. I'm really optimistic about what I'm about to see.''
Manto is working on keeping his hands from dropping.
"Trying to keep it as simple as we possibly can be right now,'' Manto said. "Cut a lot of fat out of his swing. We know there will be adjustments day-to-day and series-to-series, but right now he's in a great place. There are no tricks or magic dust. Let's just keep this thing as simple as we can.''
Twenty homers and 60 RBI has a nice ring to it if you want to set a bar for Flowers' offense this year. You know he has numbers in mind, but he's not about to go there.
''Not a clue,'' he said. "It's not the first time I've played everyday, just not at this level. I'm just worried about being consistent day-in and day-out.
"I don't think about numbers. The biggest contribution I can make is the number of quality starts our pitchers get and helping our bullpen finish games.''
Flowers, who bats right, replaces a left-handed hitting Silver Slugger Award winner in Pierzynski. Nobody sees that change of the guard as an upgrade. Defensively, however, it's a different story.
"There's a new era here, a new era in the catching department,'' pitching coach Don Cooper said. "A.J. had a nice career with us, man, did a lot of great stuff. But that era is over.''
While Flowers is braced for the ups and downs of hitting every day — "Good days are going to happen and bad days going to happen,'' he said — Cooper expects a steady performance from the guy who'll handle his pitchers.
"Tyler's had a background now. He's been with us the last year and a half, two years,'' Cooper said. "He's had time to catch everybody in games and in the bullpen, he's established relationships with everybody. We're very comfortable with him catching, receiving, throwing, blocking, the game plan. And I'm excited for the kid because this is the opportunity he's been waiting for. That opportunity is in his hands now. And I'm pulling for him. We know from the defensive end, we feel very comfortable with that.''
Flowers has been sidelined since Friday because of a stiff back, which brought to mind a Pierzynski strength — his durability. Flowers should be back catching Tuesday or Wednesday, manager Robin Ventura said Sunday.
"I'm not talking about the last guy. He gone,'' Cooper said. "What I'm telling you is Tyler Flowers can catch, throw, block, move, establish a relationship with the pitchers and do everything we need.''

MORRISSEY: Urlacher, Smith likely to return; it's the Bears' way
BY RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com December 5, 2012 9:00PM
Brian Urlacher
Article Extras
Updated: January 7, 2013 1:29PM
Whether or not Brian Urlacher returns from a hamstring injury this year, he'll be a Bear next season. That comes from highly placed sources inside my head.
There continues to be talk that this might be The End for Urlacher in Chicago, but the chatter fails to take into consideration the organization's deep aversion to change.
If there's an easy route, one devoid of uncomfortable decisions, the McCaskeys will always steer the family Studebaker in that direction.
So, no, I don't believe Urlacher is going anywhere, for the same reason I don't believe coach Lovie Smith is going anywhere, even if the Bears fail to make the playoffs after their 7-1 start.
The idea that the team would allow a beloved future Hall of Famer to walk via free agency? No. Not when it thinks there are fans' heartstrings to pluck. And not when the market for beaten-up, 34-year-old linebackers figures to be less than vibrant.
Ah, but you ask, what about the blast of fresh air that is general manager Phil Emery? Won't he have the coldhearted business sense to make the right decision?
You mean the guy who thought the offensive line didn't need any help this season?
The flaw in all of this is the idea that Emery has autonomy. I'll believe it when push comes to shoving Lovie out the door. Until then, I'll believe he'll do what everybody else does when a major decision needs to be made at Halas Hall: He'll look to president Ted Phillips, who will look to chairman George McCaskey, who will look to family matriarch Virginia McCaskey, who will look beatifically on Lovie and Brian and not want to lose her "kids.''
So I see Lovie as the Bears' coach until they cart his cold body out of Lake Forest. In death as in life, he'll decline comment on any medical issues.
And I see a one- or two-year contract ahead for Urlacher, even though he's a ghost of the player he used to be.
That brings us to the Bears' current situation, which is about as close to dire as can be for an 8-4 team. With all the handwringing that has been going on over Urlacher's play this season, how much of a drop-off can Nick Roach possibly be at middle linebacker? He's certainly faster than Urlacher. Will that speed make up for the knowledge and experience Urlacher brings? I don't know. I just know Urlacher isn't Urlacher anymore.
If you've seen him lurch around the football field this season, you know that to be true.
This is the best way to sum up Urlacher's play this season, as muddled as it might sound:
◆ I'm not sure the Bears were going to make the playoffs with him on the field, not after the way the defense looked in the dispiriting loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
◆ I'm not sure the Bears will miss the playoffs with Roach starting in Urlacher's place.
And that brings us back to Smith, who's in his ninth year as the Bears' coach. If they don't make it to the postseason, it will be the fifth time in the last six seasons they failed to do so.
Should that happen, you can bet Smith won't be as tight-lipped about injuries as he normally is. He'll mention the game and a half Jay Cutler missed because of a concussion. He'll bring up the injuries to Urlacher, Earl Bennett, Alshon Jeffery, Devin Hester, Tim Jennings and the others.
To which management should say, "You mean just like every NFL team?''
The last time the Bears won a Super Bowl was the 1985 season. Perhaps you're aware of that. Barring some miracle, this will be the 27th season without another championship. This franchise should be better.
The Bears are in second place in the NFC North (the Packers have the tiebreaker), and I can't remember a time when an 8-4 record felt so fragile. I can't remember a defense looking so old so fast. All those turnovers for touchdowns earlier in the season look like a masking agent.
The year has gone exactly the way many of us saw it going. The Bears feasted on the empty calories of the Jaguars and Titans and lost to every good team they faced. They finish with Minnesota (6-6), Green Bay (8-4), Arizona (4-8) and Detroit (4-8).
Added up, what does it mean? More of the same for next season, I'm afraid.

Rapacz: A primer on developing social-media discipline
By Deb Rapacz Guest Commentary February 8, 2013 10:24PM
Deb Rapacz is a marketing and communications consultant and a marketing instructor at the Graham School of Business at St. Xavier University in Chicago.
Updated: March 11, 2013 6:37AM
We may have most of the answers regarding the bizarre story of the fake, dead girlfriend of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o (though we can't be sure yet). All indications are that Te'o was a victim rather than a perpetrator — taken advantage of in an elaborate scheme by a male acquaintance.
Though the story has faded from the headlines, a curious public will continue to follow it, hoping for more tantalizing disclosures.
But social-media stories such as this are a good reminder that we should review our social-media use and personal rules of conduct.
Social-media platforms provide fun ways to socialize and share a lot of information quickly and easily — allowing us to connect with friends, participate in a variety of online groups and feed our sense of belonging.
But it's important to take a broader perspective about your online profile. The audience you are sharing information with isn't just your set of friends. And it changes over time.
Your online profile likely is to be used by employers, club leaders, coaches, admissions counselors, etc. Right or wrong, they are likely to use your profile in deciding whether you fit into a company or organization.
If you're a high school student, you're probably not thinking about a human resources department worker for a future employer poking around your Facebook pages in search of something inappropriate.
You are what you post. Everything you do via social media becomes part of your permanent online footprint and works collectively to create an impression about what type of person you are.
Your collection of pictures, posts, comments and "likes" are all used by people to shape an opinion about you. Even the friends you have and their activity affects your reputation.
In the consumer marketplace, brands are very careful about their image in every marketing channel, realizing that every interaction with customers and potential customers creates an impression with the audience. One negative incident may cause damage to the brand that is hard to repair.
Because you control your "personal brand," you can borrow lessons from corporate marketers to guide your online activity to create a favorable online presence.
In my "Branding You" workshops, I guide people to think about the following questions to establish personal online guidelines:
What image do you want to portray? What is it that you want your audience to think about you? (Remember that your audience is more than your close friends.)
What makes you unique? What mix of school, sports, social causes and individual social activities do you want to share? How can you stand out from the crowd?
Who should you accept in your social circles or as friends? Why? I have different rules for different social-media tools.
For example, I think of LinkedIn as an electronic Rolodex. Anyone I meet who I might want to contact again for business, I accept as a connection. I use more stringent rules for Facebook, only "friending" someone I am willing to have lunch with once a year.
What will you post? Think through what I call the 3 Ts of posting social-media content —type, tone and timing.
What type of photos, likes and comments will you post? When will you post them? What tone or attitude will you use when you write? Will you ever use profanity? How will you react when people disagree with you?
What shouldn't you post? Avoid posting personal information such as your phone number, address, school ID number, etc., via social media. Use more private channels to share that selectively. Ask yourself if there are certain topics or types of content you should avoid posting.
What privacy settings do you have set? Are you aware of the privacy settings that are available on each of the social-media platforms you use? What rules do you have about sharing data on each tool? How often do you check your settings?
Reflecting on these questions can help you establish personal rules that add discipline to your online activity and work to build the impression you want to create to your online friends and extended audience.
To learn more about shaping your personal brand online, consider attending our free "Branding You" workshop from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Feb. 28. Contact me at email@example.com.

Once upon a time in the sixties, this small island was a backpackers' paradise where a bungalow on the beach and a puff of Thai stick could be had for a song. Now the turquoise waters and moonlit vistas are hogged by five-star resorts and the country roads are lined with tacky tour operators. Those who crave a more natural setting can take a ferry to nearby Koh Phangan—known for its wild "full moon" parties.
Where to Play
Santiburi Samui Country Club This hilltop course is the only choice on the island—and the only choice in the country for golfers seeking that rugged "Survivor" experience. The sweeping sea views from tee boxes are almost too distracting, as are the jungle snakes. Even the cart rides around the steep switchbacks are thrilling. 12/12 Moo 1, Tambon Maenam, Koh Samui; 011-66/07-742-5031; www.santiburi.com. Yardage: 6,932. Par: 72. Greens Fees: $65–$90. Architects: Pirapon Namatra and Edward Theile, 2003.
Where to Stay
At the Santiburi Resort (from $333 per night; www.santiburi.com), individual beachside villas offer all the amenities. Its sister Bo Phut Resort & Spa (from $235 per night; www.santiburi.com) will be less crowded and more restful than raunchy Chaweng, Samui's main town and beach.
Where to Eat
These days Samui has its own Starbucks, plus enough pseudo-Italian fare to send you scurrying back to Sicily. Better to stick to steamed local catches, dipped in fiery sauces, along strips like Fisherman's Village.
The region around Khao Yai National Park is among the country's loveliest. Daylong jungle treks to view awe-inspiring waterfalls—and perhaps spot a stray elephant—are easy to plot from the park's mist-shrouded visitor center, while hotels offer guided adventures. There are also numerous spas and several of Thailand's best wineries.
Where to Play
Kirimaya Golf Club Kirimaya is the best-maintained and most challenging course in the area. The massive layout, meandering just beneath the national park boundaries, seems to go on forever until a magnificent final three holes curl back along water settings toward tented villas. 1/3 Moo 6, Thanarat Road, Moo-Si, Pakchong, Nakorn Ratchasima; 011-66/044-426-000. Yardage: 7,115. Par: 72. Greens Fees: $30–$90. Architect: Jack Nicklaus, 2005.
Where to Stay
It's hard to top the two-year-old Kirimaya Resort (from $240 per night; www.kirimaya.com), superbly outfitted and designed in cutting-edge rustic minimalist style. The luxurious tentedvillas come with huge sunken tubs and a range of spa services.
Where to Eat
Kirimaya's in-house restaurants are surprisingly first-class, but some trendy Bangkok eateries have opened outlets here, including the infamous Cabbages and Condoms. Also try Vinocotto, an excellent Italian joint overlooking a Lotus pond.
Nearly all of Thailand's caddies are women, chosen for their "kindness and patience with older people," in the words of one course manager. But, rumors to the contrary, don't expect them all to be go-go dancers in cleats: Most are rugged country girls who remain heavily cloaked. They are always solicitous and sometimes quite bossy about club selection. As in the rest of the country, the main problem is language.
When to Go
In winter, many courses are overrun by Koreans on weekends. April and May are the most scorching, then come the monsoons of summer. So visit in the early spring or fall. Nearly year-round, even the elite courses are empty and accessible during weekdays.

This shooting happened because he got pisted off and nothing more. No way Stand Your Ground applies here in any way shape or form.
So far, nobody knows what was said between the two of them. What, if any, threats were made by whom, towards whom.
So all we know at this point is, an asshole with a gun, met an asshole with a loud stereo...........GUN WON!!!
This isn't about racism, it's just another senceless killing. Funny how when a black person kills a white person you don't hear a peep about racism, hmmm, I wonder why.
Lotta opinions, but no one is addressing the statistics by the Department of Justice.
The case is not made that this one-off is in any way typical of the average killing of a black male in Florida, or even in the US.
Although it is outrageous, the outrage here is still about race, which is not the rampant crime against teen blacks that is the implied problem.
Disparage, ridicule, use schoolyard epithets, but address the stats. This case is not typical.
You could just as easily pick some hit-and-run crime and then try to portray it as systemically a problem, when it is not.
Because if you take the lionshare of typical black-on-black crime it's going to involve robbery, people who are involved in drugs or the drug trade, or similar.
When a white guy goes up to black kids playing music and ends up shooting them of course it's going to stand out more than if we hear a shooting occurred during a drug deal gone bad or a drug addict who was robbering a 7-11. Because it's utterly senseless and there's no comprehensible reason why it happened other than for us to question if this guy was a racist or was looking to create a violent confrontation. Why in the world in an argument about music with some teenagers would you feel the need to pull out your gun and shoot them? When they were SITTING IN A CAR, no less? It's not like these kids were shoving him around and making him feel physically threatened.
I read that Dunn is claiming that he saw a gun barrel displayed or pointed at him through a window ????
Haven't heard any more about that, though, nor have I heard of any other arrests in this case.
Again, there is no defense of this killing, even if the teens in some way verbally provoked the altercation that then escalated. But, your assumption that the senseless factor makes for outrage doesn't make good sense to me.
Whereas it IS senseless to kill for a petty argument, if we knew the motivations of the referenced black-on-black teen murders, they would likewise be senseless to most people too.
Racial murder is senseless. Drug deal murders are senseless. Ego and testosterone motivated murders are senseless. Fights over girlfriends ending in murder are senseless. Murders committed during theft are senseless.
My point remains that the great number of other senseless killings are appalling and a stain on our culture even more than the much more rare racist killing, if indeed this was about race or culture clash. And yeah, it is sad that someone would attempt a stand-your-ground defense, but lawyers often do outrageous strategies. Even if the killer was somehow able to get off with this unreasonable defense, it wouldn't make it typical, and it wouldn't outshadow all the tragedy of black-on-black murders.
Somehow, it is fashionable on JUB to pick a state like Florida, make generalizations about the entire populace based on a crime like this, and then portray it as some kind of hotbed of racial conflict. There must be a more compelling argument than one case. And, it seems ironic that taking offense at racism in a case like this then becomes the basis to stereotype Floridians. Think about it.
I'm sorry, but this post is nonsense. Yes, to a normal, law-abiding citizen, dying in a drug trade is senseless. But that murder didn't happen randomly as one guy walking up to another one with seemingly no reason and shooting him.
You are trying to apples and apples two situations that are clearly apples and oranges.
Oh and P.S.? Florida does have a horrible track record. If I casually think back on almost every random no motivation killing of a foreign tourist or black kid I've heard in the last decade or so, at least half of them were in Florida. No, no one has said everyone in Florida is an insane racist who shoots minorities on sight. But this kind of case comes slightly on the heels of the Trayvon case and you seriously want us to put an injunction order on talking about what might be going on with Florida and its laws specifically that might be setting the stage for these kinds of situations to happen? Too bad.

This thread is about addressing the racial divide in this country. Hard-up refuses to address these issues and simply says "well who cares... look at all these other issues". It's important to examine these issues. Florida allows crimes to happen under the disguise of self defense. And yes hard-up... definitely apples and oranges... two different situations.
Rare? He thinks these situations are rare? LMAO... what ignorance.
Cite numbers.
I could post all day and call you epithets, but I posted statistics. You have posted none.
Far from "who cares", my posts are arguing that promoting propaganda that portrays the state of inter-racial violence, while ignoring the much higher rate of black on black killing, is simply a dishonest portrayal of the big problem that faces a black male today in terms of greater exposure to violent death.
Many, many, many more black males are killed every year by their own race. Why is that not an even greater problem? Why?
Howl at the moon, jibe as a kid, but you simply haven't attempted to explain why the greater number of black deaths at the hands of other blacks gets NO discussion or outrage on JUB, but the white-on-black killing becomes center stage as if it were typical.
Address the statistics.

Snarky. Post all day and call us epithets... well that's ironic as you have done so.
Oh but several of us have provided statistics and facts.
It's awesome that one is willing to turn a blind eye to a serious problem in this fucking society. This thread is about Florida's terrible justice system and this crime here. Don't try to change the subject because it doesn't suit some selfish desire.Far from "who cares", my posts are arguing that promoting propaganda that portrays the state of inter-racial violence, while ignoring the much higher rate of black on black killing, is simply a dishonest portrayal of the big problem that faces a black male today in terms of greater exposure to violent death.
I have to agree with GC here... you're turning this into "oh but you can't care about this issue because we have to talk about the whole volume of total causes of black deaths." That's just whitewashing, seriously. This topic is about on-black violence in Florida which appears to be empowered, or at the very least potentially legally defensible by, Florida's standing self-defense laws. Regardless of the intent of these laws they are engendering a vigilante mindset where trigger happy people are initiating confrontations with "threatening" (black) people and then shooting them and saying they felt threatened/shot them in self-defense. Yes, Florida's laws are playing a role here. Yes, race is playing a role here. This is not a thread about heart disease or sickle cell anemia or traffic accidents and how many black people are killed by those things. You are just trying to obfuscate the issue at hand with that line of reasoning.
I find it funny.
A few months back, when that asshole shot all those people, (who were all races) in the batman theatre, no anti white, or racial remarks were made of the event. Just to add, he's labeled as a mental case and psychopath.
However, in what many are calling Trayvon Martin part 2, it's racist white man this and thug hoodlum black boy that.
That's all I have to point out for now. This story is still sort of new and nobody knows the full story.
Killing is killing. I don't care if the victim was purple and the shooter was yellow. If it was race related or not, killing is wrong.
Glass Half Empty, Glass Half Fullhttp://colorfulqueers.tumblr.com/
No, I'm trying to say that the outrage is very selective, and with the intent of portraying black teen as hapless victims of white brutality via vigilante actions.
I've completely agreed that these cases are exactly that, most likely, but that choosing to focus on that as the problem needing great attention and outrage is disingenuous when the same killing is taking the lives of many, many more young black men, and at the hands of their own race and for reasons just as senseless.
It is an inconvenient truth, and denied effectively by extinction by the same posters on this forum who repeatedly raise the white-on-black racism issue. If white vigilante killings are the big problem in the US, then what exactly are the black killings, acceptable?
And the poster cited about the Colorado shooting is another fine piece of racist propaganda. There is no history of any ethnicity committing any kind of random killing spree without the individual's sanity being called into question. If an Arab or a Black had shot up the same theater in the same way, he would have most certainly been suspected to be psychologically deranged. Making such a poster is racist in and off itself. Cite a single randomized mass killing like this and show where a black man was represented simply as a thug rather than a psycho.

And I don't see how you can view the Trayvon case OR this case as anything but exactly that. These were not guys out on the streets with weapons and running drugs or breaking people's windows. They were, as far as we can tell, just being utterly normal teenagers and they're dead because people who inherently think of most/all black males as threatening in any situation started confrontations with them while carrying a gun and apparently in the belief that Florida law justified what they were doing--- even in this case, the man is claiming that shooting someone unarmed in the back seat of a car was "self defense."
What do you conclude from that?
It's not disingenuous at all. Those other deaths you are referring to are not happening because a really, really bad law is giving people a cowboy mindset to go out into the street with their gun and fix problems which wind up with an unarmed teenager dead for absolutely no reason.I've completely agreed that these cases are exactly that, most likely, but that choosing to focus on that as the problem needing great attention and outrage is disingenuous when the same killing is taking the lives of many, many more young black men, and at the hands of their own race and for reasons just as senseless.
Who said they are acceptable? We said it's apples and oranges, you are the only one discussing it here because this thread IS ABOUT THE VIGILANTE KILLINGS. However if a law was specifically creating the legal gray-area which ENCOURAGED perpetrators of black-on-black violent crime to go out and do it, yes, I would be taking exception to that law too.It is an inconvenient truth, and denied effectively by extinction by the same posters on this forum who repeatedly raise the white-on-black racism issue. If white vigilante killings are the big problem in the US, then what exactly are the black killings, acceptable?
I appologise to anyone I offended, it was an attempt at sarcasm that obviously failed. But that dosen't change the fact that people are sreaming racism before anyone knows the full details of what happened. A white person shot a black person, so far that's all we know. That racial dynamic dosen't automaticaly eqaute to racism.
Had Dunn been a black guy he may have shot that kid. Had the kid been white Dunn may have still shot him. Was there racism? Possibly/probably, but there are other variables to considder. Dunn was comming from a wedding (probably drinking) stopped at a convience store (buying beer?) notices/hears a SUV blarring load music, Dunn pumps up his beer muscles to go and put these kids in line. Dunn asks/tells the kids to turn the music down, a verbal exchange occurs, Dunn fires 8-9 times killing the kid in the back seat then runs, turning himself in the next day (after consulting an attourney no doubt)
You can speculate till the cows come home but there is no overt act or statement pointing to a racial bias or motivation that we know of yet.
I don't know why you feel you should share your racial indentity with me, but ....congrats on your whiteness......I'm not.
And there are ALWAYS people who try to make these cases not seem racist at all no matter how much they actually are or appear to be. And someone not screaming racial slurs does not = not racist.You can speculate till the cows come home but there is no overt act or statement pointing to a racial bias or motivation that we know of yet.
Probably because it is a typical thing I hear from white people and it is embarrassing comment to make.
I never said there was "NO" racism, I have no idea what's in the shooters heart, nor do you. Just because there's a conflict between 2 people of different races dosen't automaticaly mean it's a racialy driven event. It seems that there are a few folks around who are hyper-vigilant to anything that could be construed as racialy motivated.
If it is proven that Dunn's motivation was racism, not loud music, then he would deserve to have the hate crime charging/sentencing enhansment leveled against him. But the constant drumbeat of racism is bullshit. The race of the shooter and victim in this case is errelevant unless you can show that that difference was "THE" motivating factor.
At the end of the day, it really dosen't matter how it "appears". When you look at life through the distorted prism of racism/victim hood, you just become convinced that "those" people are out to get you.
As far as "people who try to make theses cases seem not racist at all", thier vision is no better/worse than yours. One group has thier collective heads in the sand and the others (you) are running around like chicken little. Stop, catch a breath, an examine the known facts in the case and proceed from there.
I didn't say I knew what was in the shooters heart and didn't say anywhere that this was most definitely based on race but the situation is highly questionable. And no two people of different race having a conflict doesn't equal a racist conflict, what I was saying that just because someone wasn't spouting racial slurs doesn't mean it wasn't a racial based crime.
How am I running around like a little chicken? But if I am I guess it's better than you back pedaling by calling your initial response "sarcasm". I never claimed that this was most definitely a racist crime or that I knew all the facts, but as quickly as people are willing to call this a racist crime there are the same people who will quickly claim it is not, facts or not.As far as "people who try to make theses cases seem not racist at all", thier vision is no better/worse than yours. One group has thier collective heads in the sand and the others (you) are running around like chicken little. Stop, catch a breath, an examine the known facts in the case and proceed from there.
So do I understand your post correctly that it bothers you a lot more that someone might think a white guy going up to black kids in a car and shooting them with absolutely no physical threat might have been racially motivated than that a guy went up to some teenagers and shot them?
Given the other recent case in Florida and given its horrible law giving people the belief that this kind of behavior is "self-defense" and you have white guys initiating confrontations with black teenagers which end in "self-defense shootings", it's perfectly reasonable to believe race is involved.
I didn't call you a "little Chicken", I referenced a characer from a kids book, Chicken Little, who has a acorn fall on his head and jumps to the conclusion that the sky is falling and runs around proclaiming such. (I assumed Chicken Little was a more widely known character, sorry).
Also, the reference to "you" was not meant as you an individual, but rather you as a part of the collective that continues to promote the narrative as a cut and dried case of racialy inspired violence.
I love this part "I never claimed that this was most definitely a racist crime or that I new all the facts..." Would that be backpeddaling or an attempt at revisionist history.
You asserted a conclusion based on incomplete reporting and what appears to be a personaly held bias. I have no idea if this was racialy motivated and I am not claiming it was or wasn't. I, like you, am without all the facts, the difference is, I asume the best while you assume the worst.
^ So you presume this guy was just insane and would shoot any unarmed teenager near his house, and that's the "best"?
If anything I feel like my interpretation of what happened is a lot kinder than yours. I think this is a prejudiced guy who, like a LOT of white people, is kind of intimidated by black people in general, particularly males, and has the social conditioning that most of us of every race in the United States do that black people are "more dangerous." And when he went up and confronted these kids and they (my assumption) mouthed back (it's legal to play music before 11pm) he felt threatened and reacted. Do I think it COULDN'T have happened with white teenagers? No. Do I think it's equally likely he would have felt equally threatened by white teenagers sitting inside a vehicle to the point where he would shoot them? No.
And he is claiming self-defense... so his perception of 'threat' is relevant.
The alternate is to assume he's just a psychopathic nutbar and would have shot anyone who played music, in which case it begs the question of why he hasn't shot random people before. I hardly think of that as the "more positive" interpretation.
There's LOTS and LOTS of assumptions and presumptions happening here and very little fact.
And lots of this stuff as well—
Well let's see if I can decipher this. The fact that the guy shot a kid over a loud stereo is rediculous and should be dealt with. But the fact that people are saying it's racialy motivated based on nothing more than skin color is crap. To this point I've heard nothing suggesting the shooters motivation. Was it racial, was it that the guy dislikes loud music, was something said between the two that set this nut off, I don't know, but I doubt you do either, that's why I say we need the full story.
As to the view of "no phyical threat", we don't know that either. There are now reports that say Dunn claims to have seen a shotgun in the car, weather it's true or not, or weather that would constitue a "physical threat" or not will eventualy be brought to light.
Unless you can explain to me how a guy with a gun standing near a vehicle felt physically threatened by unarmed teenagers, particularly an unarmed teenager in the BACK SEAT of that vehicle, for some other reason, then yes, I believe it's good old fashioned prejudice.
The guy is claiming it was self-defense so.... you have a better explanation as to why this guy felt "threatened" by an unarmed teen sitting inside a car?
I have no thoughts on hearsay. Hearsay and Assumptions isn't evidence.
I don't presume the guy was/is nuts (clinicaly insane), nor do I assume he would shoot any teenager, something set him off. And it's that "something" that has to be known before anyone can assign a motivation to his actions.
As to your beleif that he felt threatened, where do you get that from? If he felt threatened why would he approach the car?
Your take on this situation seems to be primarily based on "feelings", What you "feel" what you believe Dunn "felt", how white people "feel". When you start labeling people you need more than "feelings", FACTS are the meat of the matter, without them you're just pissin' in the wind.

gon read it
Yeah, I just gave up at trying to make sense of his posts. He's just determined to talk in circles and ignore the issue at hand which is racial animosity and how laws like Stand Your Ground greatly perpetuate it. I mean it's quite simple but whatever. I'm just going to let him stay in his own little bubble of denial, entitlement and privilege.
So, moving right on along ...
Yes, it did ... epically.
Ha, I highly doubt it. I bet he wouldn't have used such extreme violent measures under the very same circumstances against a white teen. I bet he wouldn't have even asked them to turn down their music if it was a SUV occupied mainly with white teenagers.
Imo, it just seems like a case of a Clint Eastwood wannabe trying to take back his neighborhood b/c too many thugs and gang bangers have moved in next door with their loud jungle rap music. And that's just not right. This isn't what this country is supposed to be about. No one is forced to deal with anyone and their annoying habits. If Dunn didn't like their loud music, he was more than abled enough to leave and go to another store. I don't care what words were exchanged, nothing gave that man the right to take someone's life over loud music being played. Hell, nothing gave him the right to go over to their vehicle in the first place and DEMAND that they turn down their music. Just the fucking nerve of it all. That for some white people it really does seem like they do believe they have liable cause to rule all over any non-white person they wish and designate them to their rightful, lowly places.
My point remains that the focus of many of your threads and posts is to perpetuate racial animus by exaggerating the implied incidence of it.
That's absolute horseshit. I haven't even made that many threads or for that matter posts on this site in the last year or so. And the few I have made were in no way race baiting.
You're just trying to start something with me personally and I am so not in the mood to stoop that low with you so this will be my last post directed to you.
No, the problem I have is not with you the individual, but the tenor of these continuing race threads in Hot Topics.
The implication is that whites are oppressing blacks in an ongoing systemic and widespread manner, and that states like Florida are some sort of holdouts of Jim Crow, barely progressed into civil rights or trying hard to go backward.
Whereas there IS racism in all countries, including the U.S., it is a more complex story than just majorities oppressing minorities. Racial animosity goes both directions across cultural lines, and is problematic in all instances.
My point was and is that blacks are causing vastly more fatalities to blacks than whites in criminal acts and if the suffering of black Americans is an area of elevated concern, then addressing the larger source of killing is a valid point of focus, even more so than the few instances of racial killings like the subjects of these threads.
And again, what is the goal? Is it racial harmony through civil rights and legal reform, or is it fostered animosity and role reversal?
That killings will always erupt in society is a given. That the basis of conflict will always include a range of reasons -- economic, social, racial, religious, romantic, etc. -- is also a given. In that light, a low incidence of racial killing is reprehensible, but hardly surprising, as it is just another dimension of dysfunctional individuals in a world peopled with misanthropes as well as functional people.

When people try to talk about racism and the serious issues in America, respond with a deflection about a different topic. Apples and oranges. And yes I agree with MoePhoenix, the point you tried to make is absolute horseshit.
If this is what you legitimately believe then why has your main driving point been "black on black crime" as a way to drown out these instances? Why aren't you talking about all these purportedly equal and opposite black on white crimes that appear to be encouraged or empowered by bad laws that seem to endorse confrontational vigilantism?
Stand your Ground is a bad law. Why is this difficult to admit? And why do you keep going on and on about people going "nuts about Florida" when at least according to your info you don't even live there?
If anything rather than all of us engaging in some "concerted effort to exaggerate the race animus" I have seen actually you doing the complete opposite-- trying to be a crusader insisting that cases that actually DO look racially motivated are just our overactive imaginations and you can't assume bad laws or cowboy-minded white people who go up to minorities with a gun and do ILLEGAL THINGS (like demanding that they turn off their music, or stalking them on their way home holding iced tea and skittles) and wind up shooting them to death were remotely influenced by racial animosity?
When the stories start coming in with people claiming it was "self defense" after they shot white unarmed teenagers doing nothing wrong to death you'll have a leg to stand on here.
Beachguy invented the 'fact' that people playing their music loud for two minutes was cause for shooting them in post #39

Financial Assistance Overview
Most DHS Components have authority to execute and manage financial assistance to support the DHS mission. Financial assistance is the transfer to a non-Federal recipient of anything of value for a public purpose, and in DHS includes grants, cooperative agreements, training, loans, direct payments, and National flood insurance.
Although most DHS Components possess some grant-making programs, the majority of programs and funding exists within the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). DHS supports a wide variety of financial assistance including post-disaster relief and resilience, preparedness, boating safety, cybersecurity, research, university centers of excellence, and assistance to fire fighters. The chart below reflects the distribution of financial assistance activity and funding by DHS mission.
DHS Financial Assistance by Component
Financial Assistance Policy and Oversight (FAPO)
FAPO is within the DHS Office of the Chief Financial Officer, Undersecretary of Management. The office is the functional lead for the Financial Assistance Line of Business. FAPO is responsible for providing oversight, to include the issuance of policy, for all DHS financial assistance programs. The team works with DHS Components to ensure a "One DHS" approach for financial assistance. The Office consists of four units; Information Management and Reporting, Financial Assistance Policy, Financial Assistance Oversight and Strategic Support.
Find and Apply for Financial Assistance
Grants.gov is the source to find and apply for federal financial assistance. DHS utilizes Grants.gov to post funding opportunities. There is a five step registration process for Grants.gov that may take up to three weeks to complete. Grants.gov is the federal wide system utilized by government agencies. Registering with Grants.gov enables you to apply for financial assistance opportunities at other federal agencies.

Time For Leonard Cohen
Even the casual Leonard Cohen fan1 is aware that the Canadian poet-novelist-singer-songwriter-icon is not the most efficient entertainer.
And the prime example of his ponderous pace is the recently completed three-year tour comprising three to four hour concerts. Who has the time necessary to relive the glories of the 2008-2010 Leonard Cohen World Tour?
As Heck Of A Guy readers have come to expect, DrHGuy has, once again, reconfigured time and space to make it possible for even the busiest CEO, the most harassed flunky, the most put-upon house spouse, and the most impatient youngster to enjoy and appreciate the World Tour.
Now, goodness knows, DrHGuy is no Lenny-come-lately to this battle against time. His PowerPoint versions of First We Take Manhattan and Take This Waltz, for example, cut the time needed to experience either song from over six minutes to one to three minutes.
And, DrHGuy's existent video celebrations of the World Tour compress months of concerts into audio-visual extravaganzas requiring less than 10 minutes to view:
- Thanks For The World Tour
- Thanks For The World Tour – Encore
- Thanks For The USA Tour
- Thanks For The Final World Tour Las Vegas Concerts
The Ne Plus Ultra Condensed 2008-2010 Leonard Cohen World Tour Video
Such efforts, however, pale in comparison to the current project – crunching the entire 2008-2010 Leonard Cohen World Tour, including the events that triggered the Tour, into one 60 second video
As one might expect, given the reformatting of the fundamental elements of time and space necessary in creating this piece, viewing this video is not without its risks. Those with a history of heavy hallucinogen use and anyone who spent more than 30 consecutive days in San Francisco during the 1960s may experience flashbacks. Those vulnerable to vertigo or motion-induced nausea should contact their physicians before viewing the presentation and may find a prophylactic dose of Dramamine helpful.
Further, rigorous focus is required. Blinking is discouraged. Be alert.
Around The Leonard Cohen World Tour In 60 Seconds
- The "casual Leonard Cohen fan" is, of course, a hypothetical if not totally fictional figure, not unlike the unicorn, which perhaps could exist but has yet to be verifiably sighted. In practice, those who admire Leonard Cohen can be divided into two groups, the hard core Cohenites and the ABTKA (All But The Kool-Aid) Cohen fans. (And, yes, I know Leonard doesn't like to call his followers "fans," but he doesn't have to post on a blog every day, does he? If I only had to write a handful of songs every decade or so, I could avoid using "fans" too.) [↩]

SNEED EXCLUSIVE: Pending Jesse Jackson Jr. plea deal includes 'significant jail time,' source says
By MICHAEL SNEED firstname.lastname@example.com February 6, 2013 9:41PM
FILE - In this Oct. 16, 2011 file photo, Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr., D-Ill., is seen during the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial in Washington. A spokesman at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota said Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012, Jackson has left the clinic, where he was being treated for bipolar disorder for the second time since taking a leave of absence in June.

Updated: March 8, 2013 7:49AM
Sneed has learned a plea deal is now on the table between former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and federal authorities probing allegations of campaign fund misuse.
Sneed is told the plea deal includes Jackson serving time in federal prison.
"Significant jail time is now definitely a part of the deal," said a top Sneed source close to the probe.
"But I think [Jackson's wife] Sandi, feels like she was thrown under the bus by her husband, " now that a separate probe has begun on her, a second source added.
Sandi Jackson claims she was stunned by campaign finance abuse disclosures against her husband, who has been treated for mental disorders and allegedly spent $40,000 on a Rolex watch purchased with campaign funds.
This disclosure follows in the wake of an exclusive report Tuesday by Sneed and Sun-Times political reporter Natasha Korecki, revealing the feds' financial probe of the once-politically powerful Jackson couple has evolved into two separate investigations, with federal authorities now taking an independent look at former Ald. Sandi Jackson.
Though Sandi Jackson was encouraged to become a Chicago alderman by her husband, the two passed like ships in the night, shuttling between their homes in Washington, D.C., and Chicago in order to be with their two children. Sandi Jackson resigned from her 7th Ward aldermanic position last month.
The federal scrutiny includes access to and use of her husband's congressional campaign money, including credit card charges, as well as the movement of money from one account to another, sources say.
In his resignation letter, Jesse Jackson Jr. acknowledged a federal probe and indicated his attorneys were working with federal authorities on it. Federal sources cautioned, however, authorities were still weighing whether charges are warranted in Sandi Jackson's case.
"They are trying to sort it out right now and trying to figure out exactly what to do with her," said one source close to the former alderman. Sandi Jackson was advised to get a lawyer at least four months ago.
For years, Sandi Jackson was paid nearly $5,000 a month from her husband's campaign fund through her consulting firm, J. Donatella & Associates. The payments continued, even after Jesse Jackson Jr. checked into a mental health facility last year and — except for a robo-call — did not campaign for the Nov. 6 election, which he won.
Sandi Jackson did not respond to calls for comment.
The Ethan ending...
Tying up loose ends: The little five-year-old boy named Ethan, who survived a kidnapping by conspiracy-driven wacko Jimmy Lee Dykes, spent much of the time in his assailant's handmade bunker playing with Hot Wheels cars and eating crackers. When he turned six Wednesday, the day after his release, cars were reportedly a part of the celebration.
◆Postscript: In case you missed it, the bus where Ethan was snatched from seat number one, has been retired in homage to the brave bus driver killed saving the rest of the children.
A do-over?
Watch for the Commission on Chicago Landmarks to re-evaluate their ruling Thursday denying the former Prentice Women's Hospital landmark status, which was hoped to save it from the wrecking ball.
Last November, the commission recognized the building's sculptural features and architect Bertrand Goldberg design, but decided Northwestern University's proposal for a research center at the site — and the benefits to humanity that the center would bring — were more important.
I spy...
Two Chicago Cubs Hall of Famers stopped in to Harry Caray's Italian Steakhouse on Kinzie Tuesday: Lunching was Ernie "Mr. Cub" Banks; dining later were Ryne "Ryno" Sandberg and his family.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel and former Mayor Rich Daley are honorary co-chairs of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center's Humanitarian Awards Dinner on March 6, featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Bob Woodward... Thursday's birthdays: James Spader, 53; Garth Brooks, 51; and Ashton Kutcher, 35.

I went to bed at 2:45 in the morning and woke up four hours later to the first real snow of the season. And it didn't bother me at all. I am slowly unlearning my hatred of the winter and trying to look at it in a more positive manner. Preparing yet another winter survival strategy – this year, it means planning a week-long trip to Halifax, Nova Scotia as well as a visit to my hometown to see my family, looking for a new apartment in Montréal, working on zines and teaching myself to play the ukulele. Today has been really hectic and it's only halfway over. I was out of the house shortly after sunrise, and on the metro toward Parc-Extension, where I went for a blood test as part of a pharmaceutical study that I'm participating in. Afterward, I finally sat down to respond to some emails that had been sitting in my inbox for over a month. Honestly, I don't really enjoy writing emails and people are likely to get a speedier (and more thoughtful) response if they send me snail mail. Just sayin'. Afterward, I was off to another study at the Montreal Neurological Institute, then I grabbed a couple of slices of pizza and settled in for an afternoon of staffing at the Union For Gender Empowerment. Have since been drinking green tea, listening to this mix of 1960s girl groups posted on Rookie and trying to get some things prepared for Expozine this weekend. (Facebook event here). The boots that I thrifted for eight bucks have been keeping my feet warm and dry. Score.
Still left to do: Stop by Vincent's to pick up a drawing that he's contributing to Culture Slut #25, go to the Ste-Émilie Skillshare to edit and print some photos, pick up Maranda and Yaz at the bus terminal, grab some dinner and perhaps head to Jesse's craft night if I'm not too exhausted. Long day, and pretty typical, actually. In case you ever wondered why you never see me, or why I don't update my blog so much anymore.
Something else I've been up to: Re-organizing my zines! Maybe one day I'll even count them, but for the time being, they are at least in alphabetical order. I'm considering donating a large portion of them to the zine library at the Union For Gender Empowerment (as part of what I want to do here involves expanding and promoting the zine library, as well as getting my letter-writing club going again and other such things). I've already donated about twenty-five of my books. Lately, I've been feeling strange about hoarding all of these fantastic things away in my bedroom where no one gets to see them but me (and others who occasionally spend time in my bedroom, wink-wink). Besides, I'd like to move to a new apartment soon and this'll give me a couple of crates less to carry with me.
Does anybody have contact info for Johnny who does the zine 8 Letters? I'd like to distro it, but his NYC mailing address is no longer valid and I don't have any other info.
How do you store your zines? Do you think you'd ever be able to part with your collection?

As he assembles a new coaching staff, new Bears coach Marc Trestman said he'll be bringing some friends with him to Chicago from Montreal.
"There will be some guys coming down south," Trestman said during his introductory press conference Thursday at Halas Hall.
Candidates are already starting to emerge.
A league source said that Pat Meyer, the Alouettes' offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, was offered a position by the Bears. The source said also that Andy Bischoff, the Alouettes' special teams coordinator/running backs coach/administrative assistant to the head coach, is a candidate for the Bears.
Toronto Argonauts head coach Scott Milanovich is another coach to watch, according to the source. He was Trestman's offensive coordinator in Montreal before leaving for Toronto.

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Vim and Vigor …
"It means what it says Vim & Vigor. I love it, it keeps my weight down. I feel good. I don't get sick, I have also found out that it is good for heartburn and gas--over the counter products have nothing on this stuff. Try it and you will feel the difference." - Wanda, Miami, FL
"I got this product to see if it would help with lowering my cholesterol. Although I haven't been to la doctora, I can state that it does help with digestion. I made the mistake of consuming a heavy fat meal (lots of cheese pizza). Feeling horrible, I remembered I had forgotten to take Vim & Vigor that day. Less than half an hour after taking Vim & Vigor, I felt much better--guess I needed more acid in the stomach to digest the fats. Overall, good product." - Loisirene, Independence, OH
"I decided to try V&V since I was told apple cider vinegar was "good for you." I found that it helped with easing the bloating feeling after eating several slices of cheese pizza. When I visited my naturopath doctor, I told him I was taking this & it had black cohosh in it, he said good and was pleased that I was taking it. He recommended taking it 5-10 minutes before eating to "prime the stomach acids into action." I recommend taking V&V cold as it is easier to swallow than room temperature. Overall, good value for the money & better than drugs." - Loisirene, Independence, OH
"I am in my late 50s and raising my grandson, who is in preschool. He brings everything home -- viruses, etc. My husband and I can really tell the difference with this. Have to have it -- very good ingredients that keeps your immune system up. Believe me, we need our immune systems at their best. Try it, you will like it. Thank you for bringing us good things like Vim and Vigor." - Jane Kennedy, Everett, WA
"Prior to purchasing Vim and Vigor, I had tried a low-fat diet and exercise program to assist with my familial hyperlipidemia, but my cholesterol levels remained high. After finding V&V, I decided to conduct my own trial to see if it would help lower my cholesterol level. I took it faithfully for 6 months and had my labs redrawn thereafter. Together with continuing my low fat diet and exercise, my HDL went from 223 to only 222, but my LDL did go from 149 to 140 during this short period of time. Even though I am still above the normal lab value, I believe that this has not only kept my cholesterol levels from rising, it has helped me lose body weight as well. In addition this has made me feel incredible healthier; I truly recommend it for all cholesterol sufferers." - Cecilia DeCotes, Roscoe, NY

Summer carnivals arrive once a year to brighten up a dull parking lot and transform it into a seven-day wonderland. But when the week is over, they take away the flashing lights and excitement and leave behind nothing but vagrant scraps of litter and shattered milk jugs. To combat that feeling of emptiness, each of the four Thunder Road Family Fun Parks features family entertainment the whole year through.

Local lamb chops, brushed with fresh rosemary and olive oil and grilled. Short-rib osso buco, cooked sous-vide for 36 hours. Pork tenderloin smoked with cherry wood, awash in maple-chipotle glaze. Bros Brasserie Americano's menu is filled with sophisticated, elegantly plated dishes, all with recommended pairings. But it's not wine the staff suggests to pair with the New American cuisine—it's beer. A row of 16 tap handles is constantly changing as the staff rotates in all-American craft beers such as Widmer 924 Milk Stout, Crow Peak Brewing Company's 11th Hour IPA, and New Belgium Brewing's Peach Porch Lounger. Bottled brews round out the extensive collection.
Diners can have the chefs steam a pound of mussels in their choice of any of the tap beers. They can also belly up to the bar for eats that are more casual but no less carefully crafted. The chefs grind their own Angus beef to form into 8.5-ounce patties for their Bro burger, which they pile with bacon, aged cheddar, and maple-chipotle barbecue sauce.
More than 40 years ago, Harry J. Hoenselaar chose individual hams, cured them in his secret marinade, and smoked them over hardwood chips before offsetting the earthy flavor with a crisp, sweet glaze. To this day, the staff still makes the signature bone-in hams one at a time and glazes them in the shop. In addition to the eponymous victuals, the ham denizens turn their braising prowess on similarly delightful platter toppers, including turkey and barbecued pork.
The hammery's kitchens also whip up classic side dishes and desserts, such as the sweet-potato souffl?. For less formal feasting, party trays and packed lunch boxes fuel business meetings, backyard grad parties, and lengthy end-zone celebrations.
