USPS to Honor LGBT Civil Rights Hero Harvey Milk with New Stamp
October 10, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Eric Cameron, HRC Digital Media Specialist
The United States Postal Service has confirmed that LGBT civil rights hero Harvey Milk will be commemorated on a 2014 U.S. postage stamp.
Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected into public office in California, is believed to be the first openly LGBT person to ever be featured on a U.S. stamp. The Harvey Milk Foundation reports that the stamp's design is expected to be unveiled soon.
HRC President Chad Griffin previously spoke out in support of efforts to rename San Francisco International Airport in honor of Milk, and we applaud the United States Postal Service's decision to honor Milk's pioneering legacy and spread his message of hope to households across America with this new stamp.
"Come out. Stand Up. Let the world know. That would do more to end prejudice overnight than anybody could ever imagine." - Harvey Milk
With tomorrow's National Coming Out Day just around the corner, hear recordings of Harvey Milk and others talking about the importance of coming out in HRC's latest video below.

18 yr old son loved it!
My son, senior in high school and avid sport player (meaning he must take it off when he plays any sport) wanted a bracelet to wear. We ordered this for his birthday day and he loves it. We did have to take it to jeweler to have 3 links removed. I think I could have done it myself, but since it was a present I did not. He is 5' 11" and weighs 160. Average frame.Read More
Nice looking bracelet!
I bought 3 of these for Christmas. One for my husband and the other two for my two sons ages 20 and 18. They all like the braclet very much and they wear them often. My younger son, in high school never takes it off, showers in it etc. and it has not turned in color. He says the girls like it very much! The color of the bracelet in person is a little darker than the picture shown which looks more like silver.Read More

How to Choose a Ring for a Man
A ring is a very personal gift, and choosing one for a man takes some careful consideration. Men's rings come in simple designs for men who prefer to keep their bling subtle, as well as flashy designs for men who love to accessorize with statement jewelry. Many men limit their jewelry to a wedding band, and others enjoy accessorizing with several rings and matching men's jewelry selections such as necklaces, bracelets and earrings. Plan ahead before you go ring shopping for the man in your life and consider several factors when choosing men's rings and men's wedding bands.
Best Jewelry Ideas for Men
Jewelry can really add to the style of a man, depending on how he chooses to wear it. The type and quantity you choose to wear really says a lot about you. Wearing the right jewelry and watches can catch the eye and give you a look that is quite professional and classy, while wearing the wrong jewelry can appear tacky. Whether you are buying men's jewelry for yourself or shopping for men's watches, rings, necklaces and bracelets to give as gifts, the best men's jewelry ideas are those that reflect your personal style and contribute to a sophisticated look. Rings are one of the most common men's jewelry items and can require a lot of thought during the shopping process. Whether you are shopping for a men's wedding band, a special ring for an anniversary or Valentine gift or just want to add a nice ring to your jewelry collection, masculine rings come in a variety of styles to suit nearly every man's taste. Classic materials such as silver and gold are a great choice in men's rings because they are timeless and come in nearly every shape and size to fit you just right. On the other hand, materials such as tungsten, titanium and stainless steel are becoming popular choices for men's rings because of their durability and sleek, modern look. Men's rings are also available with diamonds and gemstones if you are interested in a ring with a little more flair. The right watch will add a lot to your daily look, and should also be a highly functional piece. You have a wide range of options when shopping for a men's watch. If you feel overwhelmed by the process, then you might try narrowing it down by price, material and functions. Men's watches are available in a wide range of prices, so establishing a budget is a great first step in the shopping process. Additionally, with so many styles available, it is important to have a general idea of the look and type of material that you want in a watch. Sporty watches with high quality plastic and leather straps are perfect additions to casual looks, while fancier watches made of gold, silver, titanium, stainless steel, tungsten and platinum can add a lot to a classy and dressy wardrobe. When it comes to functions, shopping for the perfect watch becomes very personal. Every man needs something different in a watch and you can find the perfect one for you, whether you want something very simple and basic or you desire a highly technical timepiece. Shopping for men's bracelets, necklaces and earrings can be a little tricky and requires some careful thought. Many men find that watches and rings are simply not enough for their jewelry wardrobe. There are many different kinds of men's bracelets, necklaces, earrings and other unique pieces that you can add to create the right look for you. These pieces come in many different varieties to suit your style preferences. Necklaces and bracelets made of gold, silver, titanium and platinum add a bit of polish to an outfit, while natural materials such as hemp and leather provide a more understated look. When shopping for men's earrings, personal style is a main factor and you can choose between studs with diamonds and gemstones, ear plugs, surgical steel hoops and many others. Don't be afraid to let your personal style shine through, use men's jewelry pieces to accentuate every outfit in your closet. View All Men's Jewelry Back to Guides Directory View All Men's Jewelry

Rolex FAQ
FAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watches | Overstock.comFAQs about Pre-Owned Rolex Watchesby Shawna Edwards I've never made a large purchase online. Why pick Overstock.com?Overstock.com is one of the largest retailers of high-end jewelry and watches. We have taken the time to create a Web environment that caters to our customers by allowing them to comfortably shop for wristwatches from the privacy of their homes. We offer our customers a wide variety of timepieces at the most competitive prices available. In addition to this, we want them to feel secure purchasing from us. Overstock.com is one of a handful of online high-end watch merchants that are capable of processing your credit card for your entire purchase. This allows "first-time buyers" to feel more secure in making a large purchase because they have an added layer of security via their credit card company. Do all your Rolex watches come with their serial numbers?Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial and reference numbers in place and viewable by removing the watch band from the six o'clock and twelve o'clock ends. What is meant by "Perfect Like New Condition?""Perfect like new (day one) condition" watches are pre-owned Rolex timepieces that are purchased by Overstock.com in pristine, mint and immaculate condition. This obviously is the case cosmetically and mechanically. Every timepiece is thoroughly inspected to ensure that they are authentic and meet our quality standards. These luxury watches are so pristine that, in most cases, they are indistinguishable from new watches. Our men's watches and women's watches may have miniscule markings, and the watch bracelets will have miniscule amounts of stretch. Will my watch come with documentation?Every watch will come with detailed documentation stating a full watch description, serial number and model number. Being that the manufacturer's warranty has expired, you will receive a limited one-year warranty from our vendor. Will my watch be covered by a warranty, and what about post warranty service?Being that the manufacturer's warranties on these timepieces have expired, our vendor issues a one-year limited warranty on every watch. The warranty work is done by expert watchmakers who use only original manufacturers' parts and have decades of experience working with Rolex watches. After the one-year limited warranty has expired, you may continue to request service through our vendor who will service the watch when needed at industry cost prices. How can I be sure that the watch will fit my wrist?All our watches will fit up to a 6-and-a-half-inch wrist for a woman and for a man will fit up to a 7-and-a-half-inch wrist (extra links are available for additional charges). Rolex watches can be easily resized to fit any wrist by your local jeweler. How do I measure for my wrist size?You can get an approximate measurement of your wrist by using a soft measuring tape or measuring the inside of your best fitting watch. If you don't have a soft measuring tape, you can wrap a ribbon or a piece of string around your wrist at the wrist bone, mark the spot where it meets, and measure it against a ruler to determine your approximate wrist size. To get the best fit, measure fairly snug at the wrist bone. This is approximate sizing not a 100 percent guarantee of prefect sizing.If the watch is a gift and you do not know the recipient's wrist size, you can use the following as a guide (as with all products, the standard sizes depend on the manufacturer):Men's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Average6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2"Adult X-Large8-1/2" to 9-1/2" Women's Standard Bracelet SizesInside, including watch face while bracelet is closedAdult Small4-1/2" to 5-1/2"Adult Average5-1/2" to 6-1/2"Adult Large6-1/2" to 7-1/2"Adult X-Large7-1/2" to 8-1/2" Will the watch be fully water-resistant? And can I go swimming or shower with my watch?Every Rolex watch is fully tested for water resistance; the total depth rating is listed with every model. Drawing on years of experience, it is our recommendation that, though Rolex watches are water resistant, because of the fine nature of the timepiece, we discourage our customers from making a practice of taking them in the shower or pool. If for some reason the stem, which is the round mechanism found on the side of the case, which is unscrewed to set the time, is not completely screwed down, water could leak into the movement and damage the watch. (Please refer to your warranty card regarding water damage.) The chances are incredibly slim that this will happen, but nonetheless it is our recommendation that our customers refrain from taking their Rolex watches into the water to avoid any unnecessary problems. How does Overstock.com offer such great prices when my local jeweler has a similar piece for considerably more?Overstock.com has built the best connections in the business, affording us the ability to buy from dealers at the highest level of the industry. Through these connections we can buy in the largest quantities while getting the best pricing. Being that we are not an authorized dealer of Rolex or affiliated with Rolex, USA we are able to offer our customers rock bottom pricing without being subject to any manufacturer's price controls or policies. Do I need to be present to sign for the package?For your safety, you will need to sign for the package that contains your watch. If you are not present when it arrives, the package will not be left at your door. A door tag will be left to inform you when the courier will come to redeliver your package. Alternatively, you can call the courier to arrange a better delivery time or pick-up (with photo identification) at the local hub. What is the benefit of buying a pre-owned Rolex over a new one?Unlike new Rolex watches, pre-owned Rolex watches do not depreciate in value immediately after purchase. Therefore, buying a new Rolex watch is like buying a brand new car: The moment you drive it off the lot it has lost 20 to 30 percent of its value. With buying a pre-owned watch, you have effectively cut out any value depreciation and retail markup. Rolex watches hold their value over time; in most cases, a pre-owned Rolex can be resold at a price very close to your purchase price.Rolex designs don't change too often; therefore, owning a perfect condition pre-owned timepiece is as good as a new one, with no one knowing that the watch was purchased pre-owned. No one can spot a used Rolex on your wrist. With the proper care and maintenance, a Rolex lasts forever. How do I determine the age of my watch?You are guaranteed to receive a desirable modern watch with a fully automatic self-winding (or quartz movement depending on your purchase), with quickset date feature. Due to the fact that Rolex models are manufactured for a number of years, the year of your watch will be circa 1980s or 1990s. Every Rolex watch sold by Overstock.com will have its unique Rolex serial number, which determines the year of manufacture. Overstock.com and our Rolex Vendors are not affiliated with Rolex or Rolex, USA Inc., and are not an authorized Rolex dealer. Third party One-Year Warranty.

A major challenge facing present day satellite altimetry is mapping the mesoscale circulation in coastal regions where the bottom topography shallows abruptly, and onboard water vapor corrections become contaminated by the land. Waveforms reflected from coastal oceans differ from open oceans, such that the onboard satellite-tracking algorithm cannot accurately compute the coastal sea surface heights (SSHs). Retracking takes advantage of the 10 or 20 Hz measurements available in the waveforms as opposed to the 1 Hz measurements used in the standard altimetric retrievals. We propose to retrack altimetric data off the U.S. west/east coast study regions using as "truth" synthetic dynamic heights inferred from coincident geostrophic currents computed from sequential infrared and ocean color images. This method performs well against standard altimetric tracking in the open ocean and we hypothesize that the method could be extended into the shallow coastal regions where the retracking becomes important. Thus we can design the optimal retracker. To be consistent with this higher spatial resolution retracked SSHs we will use all available atmospheric water vapor data (from models or radiometers) and the best available tidal models to correct our altimeter heights. It is anticipated that this method can be extended to the Gulf of Mexico, Australia and Europe. This project fulfills theme one in the OSTST call and contributes significantly to themes two and three of this call. It contributes important steps forward to NASA's ocean currents and coastal environment objectives by linking infrared and ocean color imagery directly to coastal ocean altimetry to depict coastal mesoscale circulation.

Tarantella (from La Boutique Fantasque). Composed by Ottorino Respighi (1879-1936). Arranged by Marco Tamanini. For Concert Band. Grade 4. Full score and set of parts. Duration 2:00. Published by Baton Music (BF.BM483-SET).
'La Boutique Fantasque' or 'The Magic Toy Shop' was a ballet conceived by Leonide Massine who wrote the choreography and the libretto. Ottorino Respighi wrote the music based on piano pieces by Gioachino Rossini. Its world premiere was at the alhambra Theatre in London on 5 June 1919 and was performed by Sergei Diaghilev's 'Ballets Russes'. Massine's story is set in France in late 19th century where a world-famous toymaker has created exquisite dancing dolls in his magic toy shop. Its general theme is lightly satirical, incorporating elements of comedy, national folk dance and mime as well as classical choreography, and its story unfolds in three acts. The short but very virtuous 'Tarantella' is one of the most well known parts from the ballet and often played as en 'encore'.

Gorgeous Home... An Oasis!
We had the pleasure of staying in this home for 10 days, and it was an incredible experience. The home is absolutely beautiful – the photos represent the house very well, but honestly don't do justice to the whole vibe of the place and how tranquil and lovely it is. The house was very well cared for, clean, and well stocked (we loved cooking in that beautiful kitchen!), and had nice quality linens and bedding. Tracy gave us great information to help us with our stay, and the property manager met us promptly to give us the keys and show us through the house when we arrived (even though it was nearly 10pm). They even helped us find local (English speaking) Chiropractors and Massage Therapists when my husband's back went out. I can't say enough good things about this place - it was so nice to be there lounging around we had to force ourselves to leave and go out sight-seeing! It was also great to be tucked in the neighborhood and experience what it's like to live there – we set out each day to walk the block or two around the corner to the Chen Bech market for produce, or one of the tortillerias just beyond. (Also, very tasty salbutes and panuches from a vendor that opens up in the evenings outside the Chen Bech market.) It's a short walk to the town square, just about a mile, and we found some great restaurants. Our favorites were Oliva Kitchen and Bar (Italian), a tiny place tucked on a quiet corner with amazing housemade pastas, and Apoala (located in the busier Parque Santa Lucia) had some of the best regional food; the steaks were spectacular and I loved the fried squash blossom appetizer! La Negrita was our favorite bar for afternoon stops; a happening spot with great music , a nice mix of locals and a few tourists here and there. Again, all about a mile walk from the house, and very safe. On the nights we were tired of being on our feet it was easy and inexpensive to grab a cab back to the house. Despite all the lounging at the house, we did manage to zip out to Progresso Beach for a day. It's an easy bus ride, but we ended up just jumping in a cab which cost about $20 USD each way. It was a fun little beach town, and there is a corner joint with some of the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had about 3-4 blocks due south of the beach on the main drag heading back to Merida. This is one of the best I've ever taken; I rarely want to visit the same place twice – but we will make a point to come back here to this house every year. Enjoy!
Great Value for a Large Space
This house provides a very large area for 2 couples. The master suite upstairs is accessed by an outside stairwell and is a very large space, almost like a separate casita. The main floor rooms are very large. The dining room features an entire wall waterfall feature. The spaces are as advertised. We ate out except for snacks but the kitchen was fully equipped. The only drawback during our stay in February was the pool is unheated and unfiltered. In the summer the unheated water may be welcome. The internet worked very well, which was important to us. The management company provided superior service and frequently went out of their way to make sure we had everything we wanted. The house is a couple of blocks from the CAME bus station so if you arrive by bus you can walk to the house with your luggage. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to downtown and within 5 minutes walking to San Juan and San Sebastian Parks, both of which have daily markets. Ermita is not as upscale an area as the area around Santa Lucia North of Centro, but then the rent is considerably less. We always felt safe in the area even when walking alone at night. I would recommend this house to anyone who wanted to be close to downtown Merida.
Great location with everything you would need.
Terrific central location in Merida. You can walk to most things from here so no need for a car. Well equiped kitchen and lots of cookbooks in the library if you need to study up on your skills. The property managers, Carlos and Liz are wonderful and quick to help with any questions. Nice small pool and garden in back.

Among the sickly donkeys, another war brews
Among the sickly donkeys, another war brews
Among the sickly donkeys, another war brews
by Robin Pagnamenta Published
The sound is deafening: a low roar as if the sky is being ripped apart by some unseen celestial force. B-52s fly without illumination, but each night in Diyarbakir, a roughshod city of more than a million Kurds in this remote corner of south-eastern Turkey, the noise is unmistakable as they thunder towards targets in Iraq.
The sound provides a backdrop to the growing tension in the area. For the past few years, Turkey's long-suffering Kurdish minority, numbering roughly ten million, has enjoyed a period of relative calm and a thawing of official attitudes towards self-determination. Now, Ankara has reverted to type. Nervous soldiers fiddle with machine-guns at military checkpoints along the main roads. The country's biggest pro-Kurdish political party, Hadep, was banned last month for alleged ties to the PKK separatist group, which Turkey views as a terrorist organisation.
In January and February alone, there were 950 political arrests here, according to Selahattin Demirtas, chairman of the Diyarbakir Human Rights Association; around 100 were tortured while in custody.
In February, seven children aged between ten and 14 were arrested and imprisoned while playing in the snow at Hakkari, a town close to the mountainous border with Iraq. Their crime was to write "No War" and "Kadek", the new acronym for the PKK, in the snow. Also in February, 14 people were killed in clashes between army and Kadek sympathisers in the towns of Lice and Idil, near Diyarbakir.
The struggle between Turks and Kurds has a long history. At the 1923 Treaty of Lausanne, which in effect created modern Turkey, the Kurds were denied minority rights granted to Jews, Christians and Armenians. Until recently the Turkish government refused even to recognise the Kurds' existence, insisting that they be known as "Mountain Turks".
During the 1980s and 1990s, guerrilla warfare took the lives of 30,000 people on both sides. Whole villages were razed in an attempt to expunge PKK sympathisers. Since the PKK leader Abdullah Ocalan was captured in 1999, an uneasy ceasefire has held sway, but about 10,000 rebels continue to operate in the mountains of northern Iraq just across the border.
Turkey fears that Iraqi Kurds may emerge from the war with their own independent state (they already have a semi-autonomous one), encouraging renewed Kurdish separatism in Turkey itself. To stop that happening, Ankara has 20,000 troops perched on its 331km border with Iraq, and insists that it has the right to send them over, ostensibly to create a buffer zone for refugees. In the last Gulf war, 500,000 Kurds fled to these mountains, a crisis for which Turkey received little help from overseas.
The Kurds fear that the Turkish army could use the Iraq war as a cover to settle old scores. The worst possibility is that a full-scale war erupts between Kurds and Turks just as the US and UK attempt to impose control on Iraq. In the winding, unlit alleys of old Diyarbakir, there is talk that Iran, fearing destabilisation of its own border area, could be dragged in.
It may be irrelevant which side fires the opening shot. Elements within both the Turkish army - which many Turks say still runs the country - and Kadek are spoiling for a fight.
People here have seen too much bloodshed to be optimistic. "In the Middle East, once gunfire has broken out it is hard to stop," says Demirtas. "And just because the US and UK began the war, it doesn't mean they will be able to stop it. There are many aggrieved groups here with different demands."
In the short term, the war is doing little for this region's stricken economy, already suffering from years of trade sanctions against neighbouring Iraq. Thousands of rusting oil-tankers and trucks are parked in muddy fields beside the approach roads to the border at Silopi, while few tourists are now prepared to venture to the resorts of western Turkey, let alone travel this far east.
At Kesistepe, a grimy village where sickly donkeys cough beside a rutted track, the grinding poverty of Turkish Kurdistan is apparent. Here at Diyarbakir's main landfill site, children as young as seven brave the overpowering stench to scavenge each morning from the freshly turned rubbish. Only the roar of another B-52 overhead interrupts them briefly from their task.

Chris was a wonderful communicator, kind and excited about staying at my home. I had a guest arrive after he did and they reported to me the home was perfect as if no one had stayed there. I would highly recommend Chris as your guest!
Chris was laid back and easy to share my apartment with. He was mainly out and about, but when home he was great company. If only he could have stayed longer! Hope to you again. :)
Great guests, Lorna and Chris was easy-going, clean, communicative, and trustworthy. I would happily host again.
Chris and Lorna were delightful guests. Friendly, polite, happy and great to have. They were quiet and left the place lovely and clean. We would have them back to visit anytime and would gladly recommend them to any other Air BNB hosts.
Lovely people -- kind, considerate, and excellent communicators! They are welcome back any time!

Katie Finneran, 39, has been a singer, a dancer, a waitress, a perfume spray girl at Bloomingdales and even a ringside girl at a boxing ring. Tonight she's a two time Tony winner.
Broadway's 'Promises, Promises' star seemed amazed at the mass of reporters come to meet her on Sunday night. 'I feel like I'm the Irish delegate from the U.N.,' she exclaimed.
Finneran, who appears onstage as barfly Marge Macdougal for about ten minutes at the top of the second act, still managed to steal the show and win the coveted award (her second, she won a Tony in 2002 for her performance in 'Noises Off')
Because her eccentric character in 'Promises, Promises' wears an owl coat, the Irish American actress spent her first weeks of rehearsals scouring the Internet researching owl calls.
She finally settled on the Western Screeching Owl. When asked to give the press a sample call, Finneran burst into some wild owl eeking for nearly a minute, to much applause. 'I believe that just won me a Tony,' she joked.

I thought I would be a poet and playwright. Those were the two forms I really enjoyed. I made my living as a journalist, of course, but I thought that I would just stick with those and I would become better and better and better. But in '68 … I was at a dinner — now this is name-dropping, but these were the people — James Baldwin had taken me over to see Jules Feiffer and Jules' then-wife, Judy Feiffer, and we talked all night, and I really had to work very hard to get a word in because they're all great raconteurs.
The next day, Judy Feiffer called a man who is still my editor at Random House and said, "If you can get her to write an autobiography, I think you'd have something." He phoned me a number of times, Robert Loomis, and I said, "No, I'm not interested," until he said to me, "Well, Ms. Angelou, I guess it's just as well that you don't attempt this book because to write autobiography as literature is almost impossible." So I thought, "Oh, well, in that case, I better try." Well, I found that's the form I love. I love autobiography. … It challenges me to try and speak through the first-person singular and mean the third-person plural.

Our Canada. Our Women.
By Guest Contributor Bailey Reid, cross-posted from Medium
Trigger Warning: This piece discusses rape
Last week, we saw incredible mobilization worldwide for the #BringBackOurGirls movement. We had Michelle, Malala, and just about every other person on my Facebook feed sharing the information, demanding action, and questioning the lack of media coverage about this tragedy.
In the midst of this, the RCMP quietly released a second number about missing girls. But rather than the generally accepted 600 Aboriginal missing women, they casually mentioned Canada actually has closer to 1200 missing or murdered Aboriginal women. This is not to say at all that Aboriginal women are more important than Nigerian women, or that missing girls in any scenario is acceptable. It isn't. It is never acceptable to have anyone hurt or missing, simply because of their gender. But Canadians were indignant, horrified, and saddened by the missing Nigerian girls — while our own First Nations, Métis, and Inuit women continue to suffer in silence and isolation.
There was an emergency debate in the House of Commons on Monday to discuss the Nigerian girls. We have yet to see an inquiry about our Stolen Sisters. Why aren't Canadians demanding action on our own soil about our missing girls? They are being sold into sex slavery too, and the numbers are four times that of the missing Nigerian girls. Why don't our Indigenous women have their own viral hashtag? Where is the outrage? Where are their memes?

After Sterling: Why the U.S. And The NBA Won't Enter A Post-Racist Era Anytime Soon
By Arturo R. García
They might be loathe to admit it, but good cheer likely wasn't the only reason so many people connected to the NBA were so quick to declare Tuesday morning the final chapter in Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's relationship with the league. The problem is, the league's own mechanics all but ensure that won't be the case. And that's just on paper.
Voices: RIP Karyn Washington, Founder of For Brown Girls (1992-2014)
By Arturo R. García
The online social justice community suffered a sobering loss with the death of Karyn Washington, who created For Brown Girls and the #DarkSkinRedLip Project, Clutch Magazine reported late last week.
Adding to the shock was that Washington, whose work helped uplift her fans and readers and raise necessary conversations about the unfair beauty standards pushed on communities of color, reportedly took her own life at just 22 years of age, after struggling with depression following her mother's death last year. Her passing has not only inspired conversation about her work, but about the struggle facing many of our communities and mental health.
Quoted: "Black Girls' Zero-Sum Struggle"
Black women remain caught between the Scylla and Charybdis of hyperinvisibility and invisibility. Everyone thinks that they know everything there is to know about us, but based on facts alone, very little is actually known. And what we don't know can hurt us – is hurting us. What we fail to acknowledge is that images of black and brown women drive a startlingly large amount of social policy. Disdain toward supposedly irresponsible black and brown women – welfare queens as those on the right derisively call them – is at the heart of the right's continued unfeeling push toward austerity. This same disdain toward disproportionately black and brown female wage laborers undoubtedly informs the national resistance to raising the minimum wage. Images of "dastardly" brown women crossing our borders illegally in order to drop anchor babies drives immigration policy.
And the exceptionalism of Michelle Obama and her daughters frankly doesn't help matters. Black women themselves become complicit in this pushing of ourselves to the background, marshaled there by our mythic belief in our own strength, our unresolved traumas over fathers who failed to meet expectations, our self-sacrificial love for black men, and our deep desires to respectably conform to the American nuclear ideal. Michelle Obama makes many black women long for this return to tradition.
There are no easy answers here. Black and brown men's needs and lives matter. And I'm glad we have a president sensitive to those needs. But as Mychal Denzel Smith argued, "The path to equality for Black and Brown people [cannot be] to uphold patriarchy." And as Dani McClainargues, it seems that women and girls simply have no place in this new set of initiatives. Beyond the problems of using personal responsibility and philanthropy as models to solve a deeply systemic set of social problems, the failure to imagine the struggles of men and women of color as linked together is perhaps the most short-sighted aspect of the My Brother's Keeper initiative.

Always Foreign, Always Brown: Crown Heights-based activist DJ Ushka on growing up in Thailand, gentrification, global bass, and Edward Said
By Guest Contributor Rishi Nath, cross-posted from Open City Magazine
[Editor's Note: This is Open City's second installment of "Lyrics To Go," a collaboration between writer Rishi Nath and multimedia journalist Nabil Rahman . The series features conversations with contemporary musicians whose life and work intersects both Asian-American communities and New York City neighborhoods. Click here for DJ Ushka's special mix for Open City readers.]
These days, DJ Ushka seems to be everywhere at once. She is all over Brooklyn, whether opening for Sundanese vocalist Alsarah in Stuyvesant Heights, deejaying and booking the monthly iBomba party in Williamsburg, or swooping in to save the AAWW PageTurner Festival party after a booked act canceled last minute. She also zig-zags the country, appearing at gigs in Boston, Philadelphia and Oakland. And that's just weekends. During the day, she is a full-time staff member at the New York Immigration Coalition , where she handles communications and youth development.
Born Thanu Yakupitiyage, in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Ushka grew up in Bangkok, Thailand. She attended college in western Massachusetts, where she was turned on to post-colonial theory. From her spacious, dimly lit living room in Crown Heights, she described how that experience, a decade ago, changed her.
"It was the first time that I really started to understand concepts such as Orientalism, through Edward Said," she said. Her laptop, attached to speakers and headphones, was open and glowing on the coffee table in front of her as she spoke. A poster proclaiming "Stop Racial Profiling," hung on the wall behind her.

So they attached a listening device to the outside of the booth, which picked up his end of the conversation. He was convicted and, on appeal, claimed that the government should have ...

Next year should be a banner year for the GOP, and may yet be.
The scandals surrounding the Obama administration come down to one common theme - that the ever-growing size and scope of our federal government gives it enormous power over virtually every aspect of our lives, power that in the wrong hands can be used to reward supporters, exact revenge and punish enemies. In education, health care, transportation, energy, disaster relief, welfare, commerce, work and salary rules, and on and on, the federal government plays an outsized role completely inconsistent with the Founding Fathers' notion of a limited government that allows maximum personal liberty.

Though the first lady dressed in a fashion respectful of Saudi custom - in black pants and a long, loose jacket that fully covered her arms and legs - she did not don a headscarf. Saudi women do not have that choice. Thus, the first lady made a fashion statement that sent a politely assertive message to the all-male Saudi delegation.

Have a Hong Kong Orchid Tree?
Hi everyone,
I'm considering the Hong Kong Orchid to replace a mesquite that fell during recent storms. It sounds like a lovely tree but I am concerned about reports that it is susceptible to breakage during storms. Does anyone have some advice to offer, or something that would be recommended instead? I'm looking for something ornamental with nice fragrance that isn't thorny or too messy.
I have 2 and I love them. I've never had trouble with storm damage. My sister has one (helped her plant it) and it is beautiful. I highly recommend this tree. I'm in Tempe.
This tree is subject to salt burn in our alkaline soils and salty water. If you have flood irrigation you can keep them pretty happy, but the ones I've seen in granite landscaped areas or sprinkler irrigated lawns seem to be stressed.
Why not consider a better adapted tree like Desert Willow, Chitalpa or even the thornless Cascalote (Caesalpinia cacalaco)?
Here is a link that might be useful: Landscape Plants for the Arizona Desert
My Hong Kong Orchid trees are not planted in gravel or in the lawn and maybe they don't do that well in those locations, I don't know. Mine is on drip irrigation and I deep water periodically. Same for my sister's. All are planted next to a wall, in my back yard, and her side yard. I've not ever seen any sign of salt burn, etc., on the Hong Kong Orchid, though I've seen this commonly on the purple orchid tree.
I also grow cascalote and desert willow, and of course they do well here. However, I do like a tropical look in some areas of my yard, and Hong Kong Orchid trees fit that bill.
Again, I would recommend these trees under the right circumstances. I think they are too seldom planted here, and they are beautiful trees.
I planted 1 several years ago and it was very slow to grow. It froze in the terrible cold several years ago. I decided to try again and this time it was much different. This time the tree took off and has performed great. It handles the cold well and has just a small amount of leaf drop after the cold.
I highly recommend this tree and love the flowers. I do drip irrigate.
I planted a HK orchid as a 24" box about 5 years ago in a lawn area. Salt burn and chlorosis can be an issue but it hasn't affected the trees' growth. It is now over 20 feet tall and 15 feet wide and when it's in bloom which is twice a year, it's spectacular.
