The spin machines will continute to make the Zimmerman case about race but Larry Elder disagrees. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/201...eel-as-if-they-are-under-siegeits-an-outrage/
Maybe the talking heads don't really believe it in their hearts, but follow the script to either pander to their constituency or keep their ratings. Who is going to watch a show where everyone agrees?
If those stats are true, Eric Holder needs to talk to his sons about the dangers of going out at night where they might face the possibility of getting killed by someone who isn't white. It seems that's where there ought to be a legitimate outrage with marches against gun violence instead of this instance that had little to do with race.
Larry Elder isn't a conservative. Mostly libertarian...his one difference is the war on terror with the libertarian party. One of the smartest men in America.
Just watched it. Wow. The ref should have stopped that fight early in the second round. Too bad for Larry's sake that only about 28 people in the US watch Piers Morgan.
watched it, Elder has good points about the statistics of the black community, but he doesn't need to use it to deflect from the case at hand there may or may not be hypocrisy when it comes to the non outrage of black crime, education, employment, ect, but it doesn't mean one has to use it to push aside the Zimmerman case and Elder, like many conservatives, makes it a skin color issue, rather then a socio-economic issue....violent crime statistics are similar in both black and white impoverished neighborhoods...yet nobody ever talks about poor whites so you ask, why are there a higher percentage of blacks in poverty then whites? Is it just laziness, or is there something bigger at hand that keeps people locked into their income groups? Studies have found that there is very little upward mobility from one class to the other from what class you were born into. while we all have access to basic education (impoverished areas are underfunded), those areas usually have a dramatic decrease in opportunity. Because if there was opportunity, the crime rates would be reflected in it. So is there something about black skin or mindset that makes one not take that challenge (statistics don't show that when all things are equal), or is it that most Americans wouldn't do the same with those kind of odds facing them? one of the biggest disadvantages of blacks versus whites from an economic standpoint is the lack of inherited wealth. Whites have a much much longer head start when it comes to inherited wealth that can be passed down to lay the foundation for wealth accumulation.
I think most people understand that in areas of poverty there is more crime and it's blatantly obvious that it's more difficult to get out of. That's just common sense that it's easier to slip into crime when you're born into a bad situation, or that it's harder to become financially successful. However, is there a higher tendency amongst blacks than other racial groups? If so, why? Also, if you look at history and even the current climate of other countries in the world, as far I know, our country right now you have the best chance to leave behind the level you're born in, it's difficult, don't get me wrong -- but it's more possible in this country and our society than anywhere else in the world, maybe ever. What do you say to the thousands of minority members who have risen above the terrible situations they've been born into and become more? Do you just tell them they've been struck with good luck? If you asked them how they did it -- they would all mostly tell you the same thing and I don't think it would have to do with luck.
Larry ain't a conservative. Secondly, you have the unmitigated gall to accuse ANYONE other than liberals(and their media) making this whole thing about race? Sad commentary.
thousands versus billions? what racial groups are you comparing here in America? Blacks and Mexicans have similar statistics. Asian Americans don't generally don't come from the same background in America. The foreign ones generally come from money, or they would have been able to come here, school here, etc...
Well he did appear on Morgan's show to discuss the Zimmerman case and Jeantel which has been used by the media to manufacture a race issue. The context of his appearance was to discuss black victimization based on the manufactured race issue the Zimmerman case took on. I love Larry Elder but thought he was a little too worked up and missed some opprotunities...
You don't have a clue. * Thousands of Vietnamese came to this nation virtually penniless, but do not rob and murder. Instead, they worked 7 days a week, ensuring that their kids go to college, law school and medical school. The same can be said for Koreans and Philippinos (many thousands over the years married American servicemen, then saved their money to bring their families over); * Blacks and Mexicans do NOT have the same violent crime rates. Of cities with over 500,000 people, El Paso and San Antonio have among the LOWEST violent crime rates in the nation. I live in San Antonio and will tell you that the black neighborhoods are FAR, FAR more dangerous than the barrio; * Statistics for poor whites and poor blacks for violent crime are nowhere in the same ballpark. Where did you pull THAT nonsense from? Is East Anglia University expanding from making up environmental alarmist numbers to include violent crime by race? Don't just make things up to make your point. Resolving disputes by violent means is, and has been, more prevalent in the poor black community than in any other demographic, which is why it is constantly discussed. Larry Elder is a Libertarian conservative and a grad of the University of Michigan's Law School, a brilliant man who is absolutely LOATHED by the black community for daring to stray from the plantation. What other racial/ethnic demographic verbally assaults one of their own with dozens of epithets?
If we really want to have an honest conversation...... we would admit the black community is about the only one to suffer this multi generational poverty. Not Jews, many of whom immigrated with nothing, not Irish, not Vietnamese nor Asian remain mired in uneducated poverty. But no one wants to be honest about that. The vestiges of past racism are horrible, but at some point several generations later you have to look in the mirror and be honest and say "my problems are largely my own doing" Like I said, no one wants to have that conversation.
Elder's main points are false: 1 By his reasoning the Boston marathon bombing ain't no big thing because only 3 people died. 9/11 should have been on page 3. 2 The race issue in this case - apart from comments on TH about 2 black teenagers who were minding their own business - isn't the likelihood of being attacked by white guys, it's the likelihood of the cops not giving a s..t.
Elder deflected? Your post is one big deflection. Elder went to the root of the problem of the case at hand. Liberals are like the quack doctor that treats the symptoms and not the disease. The Zimmerman case was suppose to be about about a African American 17 year old of questionable character and background who was killed by an adult part White part Latino in questionable circumstance for both people. It was the liberal media, the pandering likes of Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton, and people who drink the victim Kool Aide that turned this case into one big social issue circus. You must have selective memory or you are morally and intellectually dishonest to made the above statement. How can anyone forget how quick Jackson, Sharpton, and Holder/Obama were so quick to make the the Martin death a race issue? Many conservative have been quick to point out how the Federal entitlement system has been the biggest factor in creating the social and economic conditions for troubled people who either chose to become enslaved to its adverse impacts or know of any other way of life. What studied do you refer to? Are they the ones that support the current liberal entitlement system? There are just way too many people (including African Americans) this country who came started from a disadvantaged position and have reached the lower middle class and all the up to the upper class. almost anybody prepared to work hard, save diligently and live like Scrooge can become one. http://www.economist.com/node/654053 The LBJ entitlement system destroyed the the two parent family conception for many of improvised people. Especially for African Americans. This destruction plus the destruction of incentive and work ethic are the major inputs for not taking the challenge. The last paragraph is pure BS and is for those who play the victim card. Today many African Americans who came from horrible conditions and have become successfully law abiding citizens. Some or many never got out of the lower class but they laid the foundation for their children to live a moral life, study in school, get part time jobs, go into the military, and get a post high school education. Some of these parents and children have become artist, professional athletes, doctors, lawyers, judges, teachers, engineers, and leaders (management and elected/appointed positions). The disadvantaged that you describe only become a road block if you choose it to become one.
I think the root of the problem is the ideology. I heard Cornel West say that being black is not about melanin content. It is about a state of mind. Other black intellectuals have echoed West's thoughts. Thomas Sowell, whose academic credentials dwarf West's, say that it is ideology, not some frame of mind, that drives the Civil Rights Industry. As such, ideological deviation is not tolerated, and deviants are referred to as Uncle Toms, Oreos, House naggers, and other epithets that scream "Traitor To their Race." This is not unlike the communists who considered any and all who dissented as fascists (the all-purpose epithet that they could not define if their lives depended on it), reactionaries, bourgouisie, deviationists, Trotskyites, Bautistatas, and a host of other equally damning labels. The Left (I never call them liberals, because they are the furthest thing from being a classical liberal) does not tolerate dissent in the ranks, and actively labels, shuns and attacks those who dare to think differently from themselves.

The phrase "Let's not get caught" has never held so much weight as it does in the final scene of Thelma & Louise. No matter how many times I've seen it (a lot), I still get chills. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis are just SO DANG good, and talk about a feminist classic. The film turns 20 (!!) this year which means New Yorkers and Los Angelenos have a chance to not only see it on the big screen at special showings, but also to hear discussions about its impact from a panel of cool ladies in the industry (N.Y.C.) and the cast and crew themselves (L.A.). Read on for the info and get yo'self a ticket! If you don't live in either of these cities, I suggest putting Thelma & Louise in your queue and holding your own damn screening with all your besties. Cause seriously, why not?
N.Y.C. Screening at 92Y Tribeca
Tuesday, August 2, 7:30 pm
Panel featuring: Jaclyn Friedman, feminist activist, executive director of WAM!, and author of the upcoming book What You Really, Really Want; Sofia Quintero, filmmaker, writer and co-founder of Chica Luna Productions; Melissa Silverstein, editor of Women and Hollywood; Jamia Wilson, activist and VP of programs at the Women's Media Center.
L.A. Screening at Samuel Goldwyn Theater
Thursday, August 25, 7:30pm
Panel featuring: Actress Geena Davis, producer Mimi Polk Gitlin, and writer Callie Khouri. (Though the website doesn't say it, I have it on good authority that Ms. Sarandon herself will also be part of the post-screening discussion. I mean!!)
Tagged in: thelma and louise, susan sarandon, screening, Q&A, geena davis, feminist film, 92Y, 20 years

A participant in the California [[GoldFever Gold Rush]] of 1848-1855.
When gold was discovered near Sutter's Mill, California in 1848, it brought a huge influx of people to the area, at first those already living in California and the surrounding areas, but when the story broke in the East Coast newspapers, from all over the world. UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco, the nearest port, became a BoomTown (after nearly becoming a GhostTown when the denzins all flocked to the gold fields - San Francisco's population very briefly fell to just 250 at its lowest point before arrivals from the east came through. An editor even bemoaned the impending death of the namesake city in one editorial - [[HypocriticalHumor it was his last article before leaving town to find gold.]])
They became known as "'49ers" from the year when the biggest crop of would-be miners arrived. At first, finding gold was easy, and the miners prospered. But as the most obvious sites played out, mining required more and better skilled effort, and competition grew for the best claims. By 1855, only large mining companies were still viable, and the Rush was over. Most of the Forty-Niners went on to other professions in the newly-booming states; a few stubbornly stayed in the prospecting business, moving from site to site in hopes of striking it rich elsewhere.
This character type includes those who moved to California to take advantage of the gold miners, but did not themselves mine the ground. For other people searching for valuable minerals, see {{Prospector}}. For the San Francisco sports team that takes its name from these miners, see UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague.

Well it is time once again for rookie blogs here on the LPGA Tour and you know what that means...I am officially an LPGA Rookie for 2011. WOOHOO!!! :) I have dreamed about this since I was eight years old and it has finally happened. YAY!!! So what does that mean for me, well it means I'm going to be one busy girl this year. Qualifying for the LPGA Tour was fun yet very stressful because I was also traveling back and forth from Spain the week before and the week after Q-school to get full status on the Ladies European Tour as well.
So for this off-season (can we as golfers even call it an off-season... NOT REALLY) I have been busy getting everything ready for the season. I have recently switched club companies and am very excited about the change. :) I moved back home to Tucson and was very blessed to get an honorary membership at La Paloma Country Club!!! I have been talking to sponsors and most importantly practicing and getting my game in shape for the start of the season that is coming up oh so very soon. ;)
I just told you that I got new clubs from TaylorMade and actually played in a Cactus Tour event (a mini tour in Phoenix, Arizona) with them after only practicing for two days. I shot 68-74-72 and it wasn't the new clubs fault for the 74... it was my oh so precious putter. :/ Back to the putting green for more practice. But an under par tournament is always a good tournament so I am still smiling!!! I am so looking forward to all that is going to happen this year and keeping you my fans informed of all the fun events that I will be taking part in .
Stay tuned. :)

I do see it as more of a girls' name. Every one I've met has been female:
- one I went to high school with in the 90s
- the daughter of a friend (Born less than a month before the Brangelina babe. Oy, her mother was heartsick...and she does get the "Like the Brangelina girl?" question.)
- a dog
There's also a poster on another board I used to frequent with a daughter named Shiloh Wren.
For a lot of people, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt might be the only reference they have for Shiloh outside of Civil War documentaries. I think some association between the name and the celebribaby is inevitable.
August 24th, 2012 02:25 PM #12
I would only see this on a girl. If I met a boy named this, I would pity him growing up with a girl's name.

I love it. I 'discovered' it one day in church when I was little. I was very annoyed when several years later the Jolie-Pitts used it.
The name is unisex, it's a biblical place name.
Besides Brangelina's daughter, the former NFL player Deion Sanders has a teen son named Shilo
He'd probably pity you for not knowing that Shiloh isn't a girl name
Fox * Rohan * Jade * Shea * Eden * Blaise * Greer
Lotus * Noor * Tallulah * Jasper * Linden * Arden

Aire Serv of East Valley's technicians keep ducts clear, furnaces burning, and air conditioners flowing. They lend their expertise to any heating or ventilation problem, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Though emergency calls typically focus on repairs, techs also make appointments for full inspections so they can spot potential problems before they strike.
Arizona Pest Control Company's insured and certified technicians have been marching into battle against multilegged opponents since 1947. In their 67 years of service, they have evolved the knowledge and weaponry necessary for evicting bugs, birds, and rodents from both residential and commercial abodes. As they scour homes for signs of unwanted guests, they implement up-to-date technology to both banish and bar pests from the premises.
With eco-friendly bee traps, which lack the pesticides that affect other native animals, the staff can settle long-standing debates over whether that buzzing noise was in your mind all along. Antitermite warranties and treatments keep wooden foundations standing firm, and highly educated bird-control personnel clear out feathery nuisances. Technicians can schedule recurring appointments as well as report for emergency services 24 hours a day.
ARS/Rescue Rooter's team of trained, courteous specialists performs an array of air conditioning, heating, and plumbing services nationwide. Regular seasonal maintenance prolongs the life of air-conditioner units and enables them to run efficiently, saving homeowners from grievous energy waste and incurring the righteous wrath of eco-conscious polar bears.
The algae adversaries at Splash Pool Service keep pools properly purified and prepped for ultraclean swims and soaks with effective pool-cleaning services. Algae buildup causes dirty water, pool staining, and, if left unchecked, a gelatinous blob that swallows up a pool owner's home before morphing into a question mark. During a cleaning service, which takes place every other week, professional pool techs calm the waters of residential swimming pools with all the necessary pH balancers, conditioners, and chlorine shocks to make pools fizz with Old Faithful–esque enthusiasm. At the end of the cleansing, formerly unattractive liquid cages glow with chemical beauty, ready to receive any belly flop or triple-back-flip can-opener combo without drenching the swimmer in slime.
Since 1959, the technicians at Rite-Way Ventilating Co. have brought their warm attitudes and wide-ranging expertise to area homes, providing air conditioning, heating, and plumbing services. When completing both repairs and installations, they advocate using energy-efficient machinery out of respect for the environment and customers' utility budgets. To the same eco-friendly end, they patch up ducts with the EPA-endorsed Aeroseal duct-repair system. This system is less invasive than traditional duct repair, saving energy and cost without sinking to such methods as sending a glue-covered intern crawling through them.
Employees invest in customer trust as well as the Earth's welfare—at each appointment, they discuss costs up front before tinkering with the pipework. Their written guarantee promises satisfaction with their work, not just that the equipment will function and will not come to life in their absence.

ARCHI-TECH Names Lencore Acoustics Corp. Top Award Winner — Lencore voted a Readersâ Choice Awards Grand Prize Winner
December 2008 – (Woodbury, New York)â ARCHI-TECH awarded Lencore with its 2008 Readersâ Choice Grand Prize Award in âSustainabilityâ for Lencoreâs Spectra i.Net⢠networked sound masking system. The award was based on input from readers of ARCHI-TECH magazine and by visitors who logged on to architechmag.com to cast their votes.
âSpecifying technology products in commercial buildings is the job of ARCHI-TECHâs audience. The winners of our Readersâ Choice Awards program should be particularly gratified that their products won the attention of this influential community,â? said ARCHI-TECH publisher Jim Forthofer.
The Readers' Choice Awards feature the most innovative technology products in the commercial buildings market today. Product entries, submitted by manufacturers, are applicable to commercial facilities in the areas of audio/video, building controls, glass and glazing, HVAC, lighting, security, and sustainable technology. Votes were solicited from ARCHI-TECHâs subscriber base of architects, who influence the incorporation of technology products and systems in commercial buildings.
Lencoreâs offers an award winning sound masking systems that are UL Listed and energy efficient.
Lencoreâs networked system, Spectra i.Net⢠is UL listed for use in air-handling spaces; provides full 1/3rd octave band or parametric band control; and is designed as a non-proprietary, open platform system for user confidence and network security.
The system is manufactured in the U.S. within strict environmental guidelines and high levels of recycled content using over 50% recycled aluminum.
The networked capabilities of the system enable on-going system changes to be handled through the systemâs web interface and reduce or eliminate the need for additional wiring and cabling in the ceiling, significantly reducing construction waste.
The Lencore system is environmentally friendly and digitally engineered to provide an unobtrusive and comfortable sound. The pleasant and uniform introduction of sound masking into office spaces contributes positively to the overall environment. Studies show that when office noise is reduced, worker satisfaction increases and stress levels are reduced. Lencore offers speech privacy, acoustical comfort, increased productivity and greater efficiency. Requiring no on-going maintenance, the Lencore system has a 20+ year life expectancy.
LEED and Acoustics
The Leadership for Energy and Environmental Design with the help of other industry organizations has accepted an intended standard for acoustics in healthcare that allows for the provision of two LEED points for acoustics.
âIt is important to note that LEED buildings can be quieter than standard buildings as there are typically more hard (cleanable) surfaces within the space, the workstation height is lowered to allow for more natural light, and the HVAC systems that typically provide a certain level of unstructured background noise, are more quiet. These factors contribute to an overall reduction in the ambient background sound and will further support the need to incorporate a background sound masking system like Spectra i.Netâ¢â?, says Michael Polan, Lencoreâs Director of sales
Lencore sound masking systems are custom designed to fit a variety of site conditions and applications and is used in open and closed plan offices with or without ceiling tiles. Lencoreâs Spectra i.Net⢠sound masking is used in office, healthcare, financial, government, legal, military and call center environments. Lencoreâs system is applicable for new construction, retrofits, and designed to meet all local codes. Lencoreâs superior paging capabilities can be used as an all call or zone paging or both and wherever life safety issues are of concern.
The ability of the system to offer the duality of sound masking and paging enables the end user to benefit from two systems for the virtually the cost of one and eliminates the need for a secondary paging system, saving client tie and money.
The award winning Lencore product is featured in the December 2008 issue of ARCHI-TECH magazine and will remain on architechmag.com until June 2009.

On the witness stand Wednesday, Brenda O'Laughlin told how she received texts and phone calls from her daughter's phone the day after the 14-year-old was fatally stabbed.
Brenda O'Laughlin said she returned home about 5 p.m. Oct. 27, 2011 and found her daughter, Kelli Joy, lying on her stomach in the kitchen. Blood was on the floor.
She called 911 and told the dispatcher her daughter had committed suicide. Brenda could not turn her daughter onto her back to perform cardio pulmonary resuscitation, as the dispatcher suggested.
So instead, she touched her daughter's still warm body and talked to her, Brenda said.
"I was trying to comfort her," Brenda said.
She went to the hospital and called her husband, John O'Laughlin, who met her there. Emergency room doctors told the couple about the stab wounds in their daughter's body, John O'Laughlin said.
"It was hard to process. You take her to school in the morning and then she is gone," John O'Laughlin said.
The O'Laughlins testified in the first day of the trial for John L. Wilson, Jr., of Chicago, who is charged with first-degree murder.
When prosecutor Andreana Turano asked Brenda why she first thought Kelli had committed suicide, Brenda said simply she never thought that anybody had broken in.
When the police arrived, they found a broken dining room window, a large rock in a red knit hat on the dining room floor, open dresser drawers and items strewn about the second floor.
Because their house was a crime scene, the O'Laughlins were not immediately allowed to return home. They stayed at a hotel. During the night, Brenda said she pulled off all her artificial fingernails. The next day, she went to a salon to get them replaced.
"That's like her therapy," said her husband John, who waited for her in their car outside the salon.
While she was getting a manicure, at about 11:30 a.m. Oct. 28, Brenda started to get calls and texts from Kelli's phone. Kelli's picture would show on Brenda's cellphone, when it received a call from Kelli's cellphone, she said.
Brenda said she answered a call, saying, "Hello."
Then she received a text, that said, "Hi, Brenda." The messages became more disturbing.
"She wanted to tell you something before I killed her," read another text.
Brenda ran out to her husband's car to tell him what was happening. He called a sergeant from the regional task force that was investigating the crime.
At 12:30 p.m., Brenda's cellphone showed an incoming phone call from Kelli's phone that she did not answer.
At 3:04 p.m., she received the text, "You've got two minutes to text me before I break the phone," Brenda said.
She replied to that message asking, "Who are you and what do you want?"
The other person texted something about how he or she is looking at her a lot on (on Kelli's phone).
Brenda texted back, "Can you send me a picture of you, so I can look at you a lot?"
She got no reply, and later that day turned her phone over to the police, she said.
In his opening statement, Wilson's attorney, John Paul Carroll, told the jury they will have to decide if Kelli committed suicide. If they think she did not, they have to decide whether the police have charged the right person with her murder.
The police arrested Wilson on Nov. 2.
The prosecutors said Wilson's DNA was found on the knit hat. But Carroll said other people's DNA also was on the hat.
Carroll also said no blood was found on any of the clothes that Wilson was wearing the day Kelli died.
He said the police did not thoroughly investigate other possible suspects, such as the landscapers who were working at the O'Laughlins' house the day of the crime.
Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Guy Lisuzzo told jurors Wilson had traveled to Lyons to visit a woman with whom he had spent the previous weekend. When she was not available, Wilson began to tour the area.
Lisuzzo said Wilson began calling real estate agents asking about area homes in McCook, La Grange and Western Springs.
"He is looking to burglarize a house," Lisuzzo said.
As he was surveying houses, he came across the O'Laughlin home near Plainfield Road and Interstate 294, Lisuzzo said.

Nickel settled up 2.28% at 889.1 tracking firmness in LME prices as China's positive economic data lent support. LME nickel prices overnight opened at USD 14,193/mt, with the high end of the price range USD 14,500/mt, and finding support at USD 14,183/mt. Finally, LME nickel prices closed at USD 14,450/mt, up USD 240/mt from the previous trading day. Trading volumes increased by 493 lots, to 4,522 lots, and total positions increased by 1,139 lots, to 138,542 lots. Inventories grew by 720 mt, to 230,760 mt. Sluggish economy helped erase concerns over QE3 wind-down. LME nickel prices opened at USD 14,193/mt, reaching USD 14,500/mt and finally closing the day up USD 240/mt. Chicago Federal Reserve President stated that the US government shutdown has disrupted the normal data flow, and the US Federal Reserve will also need more time to evaluate economic conditions from the data. The comments mean that the US Fed QE exit will presumably come later than expected. Investors will keenly watch the US non-farm payrolls and trade cautiously ahead of the result on Tuesday. Indonesia, the world's top exporter of nickel ore, has said it plans to bring in a ban on unprocessed ore exports from Jan. 1. Matched with output cutbacks, this move could lift the price of this year's worst-performing base metal by more than 20 percent off multi-year lows, analysts said. China stepped up its raw materials imports from Indonesia ahead of the ban, with September imports of bauxite up 800 percent and nickel ore imports up 50 percent compared with the same month of the previous year. Technically Nickel is getting support at 878 and below same could see a test of 866.8 level, And resistance is now likely to be seen at 895.2, a move above could see prices testing 901.2.
Trading Ideas:
Nickel trading range for the day is 866.8-901.2.
Nickel ended with gains tracking firmness in LME prices as China's positive economic data lent support
Data showed U. S. home resales fell in September and prices rose at their slowest pace in five months.
Sluggish economy helped erase concerns over QE3 wind-down.
