The Other War
Mattie White remembers July 23, 1999, as the day her life was turned upside down.
On that day in Tulia, Texas, White's 26-year-old son and 25-year-old daughter were swept up in a drug bust that eventually resulted in the arrests of 16 percent of the town's African-Americans--and a smattering of Euro-Americans who were, coincidentally, involved in mixed-race relationships.
On the word of one white undercover cop with a shoddy work history and a fondness for using the word "nigger," the bust eventually resulted in forty-six indictments--and prison sentences that ranged from a few decades to 431 years. In Tulia, these alleged "drug dealers" were all arrested without drugs in their possession, but were indicted and paraded in front of TV cameras because undercover officer Tom Coleman swore that he had bought drugs from them. Coleman, for his part, had no other officers to corroborate his purchases, nor detailed documentation of any kind.
Mattie White's children--and her white son-in-law--are now among the thirteen people who remain in prison from those arrests. The three young adults are serving ninety-nine-, sixty- and twenty-five-year prison sentences, far away from the rural town of 5,000 that they call home. In a July 29 column in the New York Times, Bob Herbert noted that "if these were major cocaine dealers, as alleged, they were among the oddest in the US. None of them had any money to speak of. And when they were arrested, they didn't have any cocaine. No drugs, money or weapons were discovered during the surprise roundup."
"Our goal is to have these sentences overturned," says Theodore Shaw, associate director-counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund, whose agency represents Mattie White's children in their postconviction appeals. "If this is not a civil rights issue, then there are no civil rights issues at this time.... The war on drugs has ended up being a war on people of color."
Organized opposition to the drug war is no longer limited to the efforts of more radically minded drug reform activists from the political extremes.
The chorus, as it were, is now made up of an unlikely coalition of religious leaders, drug treatment experts, former addicts and prisoners, academics, students and pundits from both the right and left--all of whom decry the futility of mass incarceration as a tool for controlling the use and abuse of drugs. Drug-war dissent is also growing among elected officials like Representatives Barney Frank, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel, John Conyers and Ciro Rodriguez.
And while Congressional dissent continues to be largely in the purview of progressive Democrats, Republican recognition of problems associated with the nation's War on Drugs is growing steadily. In the past few weeks alone, elected officials in law-and-order states--Kentucky, Oklahoma and Virginia--have talked publicly of the need for early releases of nonviolent prisoners, many of whom are drug offenders, in order to alleviate budget deficits. Most other states are also facing severe fiscal strains because of the exorbitant cost of running packed prison systems and the attendant costs of healthcare, transportation, staff overtime and high staff turnover among correctional officers.
Roughly half a million people of all ethnicities are now doing time for drug-related offenses in state and federal prisons nationwide. Elderly medical marijuana patients, college-age recreational drug users and small-time suburban drug dealers have all been thrown into the mix. But the burden of incarceration has unquestionably been borne by the poor, and disproportionately so by poor people of color.
Contrary to popular misconception, drug use is roughly proportionate across all ethnic groups. Yet it's a hard fact that more than three-fourths of the men and women doing time in state prison systems across the country are African-American or Latino. A May 2000 Human Rights Watch report, Punishment and Prejudice, found that the rate at which African-American men are sentenced to state prison for drug crimes is thirteen times greater than the rate at which Euro-American men are sentenced for similar offenses. The Bureau of Justice Statistics has further disclosed that one in three African-American men aged 20-29 are now under some kind of correctional supervision.

Advice Goddess
Q: My husband surfs the Internet for porn and pictures of women when he's bored. I want to accept this, but I can't help but feel insecure and betrayed. He doesn't watch porn when I'm home, but if I were gone more often, I think he'd be hopping online. I don't snoop; I just see clues. Yesterday, I returned from a quick errand, and he'd left up a search for "Serena Williams swimsuit photos." Pretty harmless, but it still stabbed me in the heart! He's a deeply caring and sensitive man, and has been willing talk to me about this. He suggested I look at pics of men or porn, and said he wouldn't feel threatened, just happy if I'm feeling good. It still drives me nuts and makes me less sexually giving to know that when I leave my house he's fantasizing about other women.—TryingRead more

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
In The Politics of Women's Rights in Iran, Arzoo Osanloo explores how Iranian women understand their rights. After the 1979 revolution, Iranian leaders transformed the state into an Islamic republic. At that time, the country's leaders used a renewed discourse of women's rights to symbolize a shift away from the excesses of Western liberalism. Osanloo reveals that the postrevolutionary republic blended practices of a liberal republic with Islamic principles of equality. Her ethnographic study illustrates how women's claims of rights emerge from a hybrid discourse that draws on both liberal individualism and Islamic ideals.
Osanloo takes the reader on a journey through numerous sites where rights are being produced--including Qur'anic reading groups, Tehran's family court, and law offices--as she sheds light on the fluid and constructed nature of women's perceptions of rights. In doing so, Osanloo unravels simplistic dichotomies between so-called liberal, universal rights and insular, local culture. The Politics of Women's Rights in Iran casts light on a contemporary non-Western understanding of the meaning behind liberal rights, and raises questions about the misunderstood relationship between modernity and Islam.

Published on May 22, 2012 by Amy
Fred Beaver (2 July 1911 – 18 August 1980) was a prominent Muscogee Creek-Seminole painter and muralist from Oklahoma.
dna testing, dna ancestry testing, ancestry, genealogy, indian genealogy records, paternity testing, turquoise jewelry, native american jewelry
Fred Beaver was born in Eufaula, Oklahoma. His Muscogee name was Ekalanee, meaning "Brown Head." He was the son of Willie Beaver and Annie Johnson, was raised in Eufaula, and attended the Eufaula High School. He had become the All-State football and basketball star player. His grandfather was the sub-chief of the Okfuskee town in Alabama named Itshaus Micco, and had moved his town to where Eufaula is today.
Before Beaver had attended grade school, he was not able to speak any English and became a self taught artist throughout the years of school. Graduating from high school in 1931, Beaver went straight in to college at Bacone College. Beaver was an important part of the early Bacone College in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He had attended the Haskell Business College after graduating from Bacone in 1935.
Beaver really had no art training at Bacone while he was there and gave up his art career during the Great Depression and went to serve in World War II. Once he had returned to the United States, he picked up his art career again and had a great teacher and second cousin on his wife's side of the family, named Acee Blue Eagle.
Soon after looking for help and thinking about going back to school for art, he entered the Philbrook Museum of Art's annual art competition in Tulsa, Oklahoma and won an Honorable mention award. He helped define traditional Oklahoma Indian art with his style that he created; he started defining traditional painting of the Five Civilized Tribes. Beaver was one of the first artists that was designated as "Master Artists" of the Five Civilized Tribes Museum. His works are included in many museums and collections, including the Heard Museum (Phoenix, Arizona), the Sequoyah Research Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, and the Philbrook Museum of Art (Tulsa, OK).
Beaver has gone on to win many awards at the Philbrook's annual competitions and has worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs for twenty-five years of his life. He was able to make a living off his artwork fulltime and became more aware of the detail that was put into the paintings.
The Creek and Seminole artists were starting to question the work he was doing that represented the tribes' cultures. But his work is very accurate in the images, such as chickees and patchwork in clothing. He has been interviewed at the University of Florida for The Southeastern Indian Oral History Project, which was in collaboration with the Seminole Tribe of Florida.
Beaver designed three medallions for the Franklin Mint's celebration of the United States Bicentennial in 1976.

PUDUCHERRY: A total of 656 activists of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) courted arrest in the Union Territory on Friday by picketing Central Government offices to highlight demands including social security for workers in the unorganised sector. A party functionary said the protest was staged at five places in Puducherry and Karaikal regions. The protest was also aimed at demanding the State and Centre to take firm steps to control skyrocketing prices, issuance of free house site pattas for the roofless and providing dole to educated unemployed.

the linear stretch is roughly proportional to tensile stress regardless of diameter. BUT if the smaller diameter shroud is smaller in length (which it should be) then the amount of pre-load you apply per mm of stretch is increased. That's because strain = change in length / original length.
Let's say you have a 50' mast with 7/16 upper shrouds. The calculations I did suggest that you would need 5.98 mm of stretch applied to them to get ~1600 lbs of pre-load.
In the same example; if the shrouds were 1/4" you would also need to stretch them 5.98mm to achieve 540 lbs of pre-load.
But; if you have a shorter mast (as you should) with 1/4" wire the stretch required to get 540lbs of pre-load will be less. If the mast is 30' tall the stretch required will be 3.6mm to get the same 540 lbs of pre-load. If it were tightened to 5.98mm it would have roughly 900 lbs of pre-load or 25% of break load.
So; while the rule-of-thumb is probably OK for a rough tune I would say that if you apply it to taller rigs it will result in shroud tensions that are on the loose side; and on shorter rigs it will result in shroud tensions that are a bit too tight.
Thanks for the additional info on rake VS bend. I understand it now; and now I'm not sure if the mast actually has rake or not. I'll do some measuring and adjusting according to your excellent procedures.
KH..I don't know how you did your calculations, but I confess you are puzzling and confusing me a lot...
where did you get the numbers and are you sure about the values you are using for breaking loads?
Normally 7/16 cable which is around 11mm has a BL of 27.815 lbs, roughly (as my tables are metric)..and a stretch of 5.98mm as you suggest is 30% not 6%, as that is the stretch for the 1600lbs you are refering to.
a 1/4 cable that has a BL of 7054 lbs roughly, at 900lbs it is at 13%...

Monica Hernandez / Eyewitness News
NEW ORLEANS - As the year comes to a close, leaders are reflecting on a disturbing problem that has cast a shadow over New Orleans for years.
Officials say the Crescent City's murder rate is 10 times higher than the national average.
23-month-old Keira Holmes is one of 197 people murdered in New Orleans this year. She was one of those caught in the crossfire of a shooting outside her Central City home. Little Keira died just days before Christmas, and her second birthday.
It's what inspired Rev. John C. Raphael to once again to take to the streets. He's spent four days fasting on Claiborne Avenue, hoping to send a message about violent crime.
'I think a statement has to be made and has to be heard by those that have the guns and those involved in violent activity that the community is upset about it, not just [Keira's] mother, that we're all hurt,' said Raphael.
With two days left in 2011, the number of murders is already up more than 12 percent over last year.Still, Mayor Mitch Landrieu said the Crescent City is one of the safest when it comes to overall violent crime; it ranks 73 nationwide.
But the murder rate is another story.
'We have developed a culture of violence here where young men who know each other are resolving their petty differences through the barrel of a gun,' said Landrieu.
Landrieu said the problem can't be solved through improving the criminal justice system alone. It's an issue of economics, education, and community.
And the community has gotten more involved. Tips to Crimestoppers this year have increased more than 11 percent in New Orleans, helping to solve more than 500 cases.
'They're realizing now the power that they have in their own hands to be able to help stop what's going on,' said Darlene Cusanza, executive director of Crimestoppers.
But there is still a lot of work ahead, and leaders agree there is no easy fix.
'Whether we're first or 73rd it is unacceptably high and something has to be done,' said Rafael Goyeneche, president of the Metropolitan Crime Commission.
'I've listened to statistics and I know they're important under some circumstances, but to a mother who has to bury a one year old, one is way too many,' said Raphael.
The Metropolitan Crime Commission said officials are looking to other cities for creative ideas to curb New Orleans' murder rate.

This is the second time we've been here, the first time it was in June 2013'
When we got there the place took our breaths, it's so beautiful. And more important than that the owner of the place and the whole family,
They are so friendly and very hospitality.
The apartment very clean and neat, the happy atmosphere.
We enjoyed the grill in the big garden, then we walk in the wood along the river and its not far from cesky kromlov.
We made million photos.
100% we will go again for 3 Ed time this spring, am sure it's great the spring in that part of Czech.

ScriptingAnswers.com has a number of scripting related podcasts at:
I had the pleasure of discussing PowerShell with Don Jones during 2 of these. BTW - if you are not already clued into this website, it is worth an explore. There is lots of good scripting materials here.
Don and the folks at Saphien are fun. At TechED Boston, they held the functional equivalent of the Boston Tea Party by having a cruise and tossing "notepad"s into the harbor (symbolizing the end of the tyranny of notepad as an IDE :-)). I like the sense of humor. Sadly I missed the party as I had to come back to Seattle early. If anyone was there and posted pictures, please send me a pointer.

The Get Up Kids
Your Rating:
Average Rating:
Hometown: Kansas City, MO (USA)
Seven years since five kids from Kansas City, Kansas crashed the party of every punk–leaning teen in the nation with their breathless hooks and rollicking intensity– Seven years since the Get Up Kids got up and got going, off the grid, with a spunky debut record called Four Minute Mile which brilliantly bashed together sweet Midwestern power–pop with the poisoned punk that can only come from being young, frustrated, and unlucky in love in the suburbs. Uncool, unknown, and unclear on what exactly was going on, the Get Up Kids from Kansas City and barely in their 20'??s, were suddenly the darlings of the underground. Major–labels — then, as now, always good at rubbernecking at the scene of an explosion — came calling but the young quintet decided instead to sign with up and coming West Coast indie label Vagrant. 1999'??s Something to Write Home About was one of the last great records of the 20th century and it made the Get Up Kids the most popular band in America that most people had never heard of.

Diogene micro home pushes the boundaries for off-the-grid tiny living
June 19, 2013
Italian architect Renzo Piano has gone from building Europe's tallest building (the Shard in London) to one of its smallest. Finally completing his career-long dream of building a micro house that only measures 7.5 sq m (81 sq ft), Piano's single-occupancy unit has been added to the gardens of the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. Dubbed "Diogene," the small structure is named in honor of the Greek philosopher Diogenes of Sinope, who was said to have abandoned all worldly luxuries and conventions for the simplicity of living in a large ceramic jar.
While it's hard to imagine how a unit that measures 3 by 2.5 meters (9.8 by 8.2 ft) can be big enough to be called a home, the Diogene model provides the simplest of comforts for one person without leaving anything out. The micro home features a living area which comes equipped with a foldaway desk and chair, sofa bed and recessed storage boxes. A separated utilities space features a composting toilet, shower plate and a small kitchen unit with built-in sink and refrigerator.
What really makes this tiny home functional, however, is the amount of storage space. Storage units have been incorporated throughout the entire unit – they are built into the walls, the floors and even the roof. Furthermore, each internal component has been ergonomically designed to occupy the minimum amount of space, and for easy usage.
The Diogene micro-structure is made from a lightweight yet durable shell that can withstand a wide range of temperature variants, including extreme heat and snow storms. The bearing shell has been built using cross-laminated cedar timber panels with a thin aluminum exterior coating, which helps strengthen the structure while also reflecting heat.
A series of sustainable technologies have been put to use outside, above and below the unit, giving the module its off-the-grid status. The roof is fitted with a boiler tank and solar panels, which provide the home with hot water and enough electricity to power the interior LED lights, electric stove and small refrigerator. Rainwater is collected and stored in special containers positioned underneath the house. The water is then filtered, pumped and used for the shower and kitchen.
In addition, the entire cabin has been insulated to keep the interior cozy in winter and cool in summer, and the triple glazed windows (including the large skylight) are all fitted with roller shades. The Diogene home sits just above the ground, so it has very little impact on its surrounding environment and its total weight is just a few tons, thus allowing it to be transported easily, be it by helicopter or truck.
Although the Diogene micro home is only big enough to accommodate one person, it would make a great backyard office, nature retreat or studio. Three different versions of the living unit are anticipated to be available from Vitra in 2014 and we hope the collection will include a bigger version that's suitable for a couple or small family.
The Diogene prototype is currently being tested on the grounds of the Vitra Campus, and visitors are welcome to pass by and check it out for themselves.

Two comments: 1) Nice outhouse, 2) 81 square feet is way too much to clean. I'm thinking like 9 sq feet.Rick H
As a house fit only for a madman it is nice that it is named after a madman. It adds symmetry.Slowburn
Make it lighter, stick wheels under it and call it a caravan! Should OH&S regulations be concerned about the hygiene worries with the toilet/shower and kitchen sharing the same space? Can you imagine cooking breakfast with the results of yesterday's (or a visitor's) curry binge reeking through that small room? Or escaping into the rest of that tiny space? An exhaust fan would be a MUST!The Skud
How much? I'm going to guess that we won't want to hear it in cost/sq. ft...Griffin
too little insulation, for an off grid house, will be cold in thereHarry van Trotsenburg
Looks like a lot of fun.It is a pity Piano did not put it on a wheel platform. Involving a crane in the process makes it far less independent. There is learning in the experience of the small house movement in the US.Grigore Mitrea
I prefer Diogenes as the "seeker of truth, an honest man." While this design, and many others, are on the road to EC (Environmentally Correct), recycling needs to be further addressed in this and other designs.Barry Dennis

Kitchen/Bath in same room. Really? I wonder how that compost toilet will work out in such a small setting. BTW - where's the cooktop? The design would be much more practical - and more honest with a separate outhouse.DixonAgee

Clever self contained. With a set of plans( blueprint) and materials list plus supplier listings , this looks a excellent project for we D I Y types ..... Looks adaptable for those needing some more stretch room ..... could be assembled on site ...... For my part ,I would like to prefabricate and assemble on a pontoon as now retired, I want to travel the Inter-coastal Waterway /Canal in a live aboard ....
May I say to architect Renzo Piano : "Well done,Sir" "I salute you"Old goat
Nothing revolutionary. But in support of the design against those that are bagging it,Toilet and kitchen are separated by a door. Opening outer door will also vent cooking fumes away form the bedroom/living room. Big side window makes the inside look bigger, and the desk inside is very large. Insulation is what you make it. Modern materials don't require the walls to be very thick
Possible improvements I would have preferred more windows on the other side.
Yes this is a caravan without wheels, though I don't recall a caravan on the market with a big panoramic window and separate kitchennette unless you go for a large mobile home type. So there is your distinction. And the sloped roof would make the enclose appear much more roomy, where as most caravans have a low roof to accommodate road legal requirements.
The really good news is this layout is really straightforward to replicate in an old bus. You can use the seat anchors to mount all the various bits, including dividing walls. Benefit of a bus of course is the additional room, and in some models, the dual entry.Nairda
Much easier to be a critic than to design and put together the complete package.
My only concern is how well it would perform in the 43C-47C summer days we get in Phoenix, Arizona from May through October. Probably the insulation would need to be beefed up plus we'd probably need a radiant barrier on the outside of that insulation with a 50mm ventilated air gap between it and the external cladding. An ERV system with a blower fan to keep indoor air movement on the go would probably also be needed for the interior to remain within comfort zones.
Still, I like the idea behind the cabin. Designed and built like you'd design an aircraft and delivered on site. When you think about this process, you could change the way human habitat is designed, manufactured and delivered - and I'm not advocating a "one-size-fits-all" approach to things like housing or schools and so on. I'm talking about the integration of BIM, manufacturing and product design and assembly to produce better-performing habitats than the shoddily-designed and built structures most builders and developers throw up these days.Phil Allsopp

On February 5, 2013, the U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division ("WHD") issued a Final Rule implementing two expansions of the Family Medical Leave Act ("FMLA") protections granted to covered employees. The first expansion to the FMLA provides families of eligible veterans with the same job-protected FMLA leave currently available to families of military servicemembers and it also enables more military families to take leave for activities that arise when a servicemember is deployed. The second expansion modifies existing rules so that airline personnel and flight crews are better able to make use of the FMLA's protections.

|As someone with endometriosis, I wholeheartedly disagree with waiting a year to ttc, particularly for someone who has a dx'd condition. That's potentially 12 months of a broken heart. Why put yourself through that when you can try other methods, natural or more invasive, to conceive??

The fabric on this was not that good, it clinged to certain parts of my body instead of having a "drapey" look like a maxi dress should. Also, the slit in the front is much more prominent on and the legs are exposed at all times - wasn't thrilled with it.

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have found that using high-resolution CT-scans to screen for lymphangioleiomyomatosis, or LAM, is cost-effective in non-smoking women between 25 and 54 who come to the emergency room for the first time with a collapsed lung.
The findings have been published online ahead of print publication in the American Thoracic Society's American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Pulmonary LAM is a rare but serious lung disease that occurs when smooth muscle tissue proliferates within the interstitium of the lung in the form of characteristic thin-walled lung cysts. Many patients present with shortness of breath, which is often misdiagnosed as asthma. But about one-third of LAM patients develop a spontaneous pneumothorax, or a collapsed lung, as the first major sign. But because of its rarity, LAM is rarely diagnosed immediately.
"Women with LAM who first experience spontaneous lung collapse will, on average, experience two more, but diagnosis doesn't usually occur until the second or third collapse, delaying treatment," said Brent Kinder, M.D., assistant professor of medicine and director of the University of Cincinnati Interstitial Lung Disease Center and an investigator in the study. "We thought that targeting screening to non-smoking women in the age range of typical LAM development may help us identify the condition earlier and improve quality of life for these patients."
Dr. Kinder and Jared Hagaman, M.D., clinical research fellow in pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine, along with other University of Cincinnati colleagues in the Department of Medicine, developed a model to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of screening patients for LAM.
Using national representative data sources, researchers looked at rates of collapsed lung and prevalence of LAM in relation to age, gender and smoking status. They compared the benefit and cost of using high-resoluti

He couldn't work, but he sure enjoyed Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest, beer and a bad back: What could possibly go wrong?
In a recent Sixth Circuit case in Cincinnati, the plaintiff, Tom Seeger, suffered a herniated disc in his back. Cincinnati Bell Telephone Co. (CBT) granted him leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). He also applied for and was granted paid leave under the company's disability plan for the same time off.
The company offered part-time light duty, which Seeger refused, explaining he was too disabled to do even that. While on his leave, though, Seeger was seen by co-workers at an Oktoberfest celebration. They provided statements saying he'd been walking, unassisted and without pain, while drinking beer.
When interviewed, Seeger admitted he'd indeed walked about 10 blocks and drank "one or two beers." But he claimed it had been so painful, he had to go home early. Some of the witnesses corroborated his story. They said he appeared to them like he was in pain, and he told them he was hurting.
The court summarized the evidence as follows: "While at Oktoberfest, he spoke to co-workers and drank a beer or two without any indication that his movements were painful or restricted. Seeger's ability to walk unaided for ten blocks and remain at the crowded festival for ninety minutes understandably raised a red flag for CBT, giving it reason to suspect that Seeger was misrepresenting his medical condition in an attempt to defraud CBT's paid-leave policy."
Faced with contradicting evidence, the company decided to believe the witnesses who said he'd appeared pain-free. It determined that his requests for leave — specifically, his refusal of part-time light duty — had been fraudulent and terminated him accordingly.

Picture: Hilary Duff Maxim's 8th Annual Hot 100 Party hosted by Maxim Magazine held at The Hotel Gansevoort - Arrivals New York City, USA - 16.05.07
Teen idol Hilary Duff has vowed to keep her romance with Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden as private as possible - only a month after admitting they are a couple.
Duff, 17, and Madden, 26, began dating in July 2004 when the LIZZIE McGUIRE star was only 16, and after nearly of year of keeping quiet about their love, they finally admitted they are in a relationship last month (JUN05).
The SO YESTERDAY hitmaker gushes to MTV, "I'm really happy right now. I think and hope he is as well.
"I feel really lucky to have him, but we try not to talk about it too much. We both think it's so weird that people put their relationship out there.
"It's not even about the work anymore. It's not about music or acting or whatever. It's about the relationship. It's not really what I got into this business for, and I know it's not what he got into it for, so why? We both have this same mentality that the more you let people know about it, the more they want to know about it."21/07/2005 01:25

Shorts of Joy
Now that the egg nog has curdled and the tree is turning brown, what better way to attempt to rekindle some of that fleeting, squandered joy than by a visit to the Alex Film Society's "3rd Annual Greatest Cartoons Ever" program? Curated by renowned animation maven Jerry Beck, it's certain to provide much more than a lively, lowbrow diversion for your unruly kiddies. This two-and-half-hour trove of animated shorts affords another chance to relish in the luxuriously satirical and fantastic graphical delights that such geniuses as Chuck Jones and Tex Avery visited upon our popular consciousness. And it's not just about cheap thrills and easy giggles the socio-cultural content and varied messagery of these film makers are never less than fascinating, and will definitely serve to highlight the stark differences between a richly racy, psychologically shrewd Max and Dave Fleischer effort as contrasted by the emotionally manipulative yet morally evasive agenda of Walt Disney. Think of it as an All American Battle Royale, pitting Betty Boop against Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny versus Superman but the true prevailing victors here will be the audience members.
