Triassic Period
The Triassic Period, first of the Mesozoic Era's three periods, began about 240 million years ago and lasted for approximately 40 million years. It was preceded by the great Permian-Triassic mass extinction, which destroyed over 90% of living species. This extinction, the worst in Earth's history, was probably caused in part by the merger (late in the late Permian) of all the continental plates into a single huge land mass, Pangaea (pronounced pan-JEE-ah). This destroyed many species by producing a net loss of coastline, while Pangaea's size—one fourth of the Earth's surface—dictated an arid climate over much of its interior. The Triassic was therefore a period of adaptive radiation—the slow filling of vacant ecological niches by species evolved from survivors of the great extinction.
For the most part Pangaea remained geologically stable and volcanically inactive during the Triassic. Erosion proceeded more rapidly than...

Nick Van Exel Net Worth: Nick Van Exel is an American (retired) professional basketball player who has a net worth of $40 million. Nick Van Exel was born November 27, 1971 in Kenosha, Wisconsin. At 6′ 1″ tall and 170 lbs, left-handed point guard Nick Van Exel was most well known for his flashy style of playing and his ability to hit critical shots during games. At private school in Kenosha, Wisconsin, Van Exel played basketball between 1987 and 1989 and was named to the Associated Press all-state team as a senior. His grades weren't quite up to par when it came to qualifying for higher education, so he attended a community college for two years and really applied himself—enough to make the grade at the University of Cincinnati, where he played basketball under coach Bob Huggins. As their point guard, Van Exel averaged 12.3 points and 2.9 assists per game and the Bearcats won their league tournament, four NCAA tournament games and advanced to the NCAA Final Four. During his 13-year professional career, Van Exel played for the San Antonio Spurs, Portland Trail Blazers, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers. After retiring as a player, Texas Southern University hired Nick Van Exel as an assistant coach to the Tigers' men's basketball team on October 15, 2009. On September 8, 2010, the Atlanta Hawks hired Van Exel as a player development instructor. Nick Van Exel remained in that position for the 2010-11, 2011-12, and 2012-13 seasons. In 2013-14, he was brought on as an assistant coach for the Milwaukee Bucks.

What actually does make an object collectible is a combination of several things, of which the ever-questing eye of the museum curator is perhaps among the most important. When such a scholar takes a fancy to a particular 1930s industrial designer or a 1950s couturier, then works by that person almost immediately become collectibles among the cognoscenti. When newspapers review the ensuing exhibitions, and when magazines publish articles about this next new thing, that heightened visibility serves to reinforce the perception of the thing as a collectible among a wider audience.
Curators aren't alone. Dealers are always looking for the next collectible thing, too. They have a genuine interest in the newly discovered or rediscovered, of course, but they have a commercial agenda as well. So if they have been priced out of Tiffany glass by a lack of supply combined with too much of a market demand, they turn, instead, to Loetz glass. When they're priced out of Loetz, they find carnival glass (also known as "the poor man's Tiffany"). As they buy these things from each other, which they do regularly, dealers spread the word of growing interest in a field or manufacturer. Eventually, specialized dealers appear, and the national community of dealers begins to seek out and stock what is suddenly becoming the latest trend. It wasn't until dealers began to carry fifties furniture, for example, that it became a recognized and highly sought-after collectible. The public can buy only what it is offered, after all.
Sometimes, however, collectibility begins at the other end of the spectrum — in the grass roots, so to speak — as it did with baseball cards and comic books. Kids traded these items among themselves, and even if they packed them away when they got older, that didn't mean they had lost interest. However, their moms, who have been known to toss, give away, or sell stuff at a yard sale, often unintentionally divest their children of treasures. As adults with discretionary income, the former traders went in search of the cards and comics they once owned. Eventually, specialty card and comic booths appeared at small local markets. In due course, an entire show was devoted to baseball cards or comics — or to toy trains, or dolls, or vintage textiles — interest in which sprang, initially, from the private passion of a few devoted enthusiasts.
Each country, of course, has its own homegrown collectibles. Americans are partial to American toys and sports memorabilia — although we do fervently collect Japanese ceramics and robots, English china, and Scandinavian and Italian glass. In Great Britain, the going price for a handkerchief printed with the portrait of a champion cricketer is $400. If such an item were to turn up in the United States, however, no one would be particularly interested in it. So if you owned that handkerchief, and if you were somehow aware of its popularity in Great Britain, you'd have to travel to England, or go on the Internet, to find a fellow enthusiast — or, for that matter, to sell it profitably.

Regarding the car analogy, cars are not protected in the BOR, and cars kill FAR more people than guns (thereby "exerting a cost on society"). You could argue that the benefit of cars to society outweighs the cost, but one could easily argue the same thing about guns--and with better evidence to back it up. You, personally, may not see or choose to exercise the benefit of guns, but the benefits clearly exist. Guns keep our society safe and deter our government from becoming tyrannical. Guns are safer than cars by far and away, both in absolute numbers and percentages. Violent crime has been consistently declining, and accidental firearm related deaths are at an all time low in recorded U.S. history. Guns save lives every day, and some studies have shown they are used anywhere from 2.5-8 times as frequently defensively than in crime.
BTW, aren't cars registered by state? So there is another issue with respect to the 10th Amendment. Some states require gun registration. Federal registration is another issue.

2. Controlling the object at the very least gains you this: you can trace a gun used in a crime to a person.
3. You are correct that cars are not in the BOR. And you are correct that cars kill far more people than guns. Or did you mean people (with cars) kill people? Gotcha!
4. If you can objectively demonstrate that guns benefit society more than the cost, I would like to see it.
5. If you can objectively show that guns are safer than car "by far", I would like to see it.
6. "Aren't cars registered by state?" Hmm...good point. Honestly I am sick and tired of state rights. But look, registration or lack there of cars in one state can greatly affect other states. Same with guns. Have them (i,e, cars and guns) registered by states or federally, I really do not care.
The economic benefit of civilian guns outside are non-existent by comparison.

Marshall: Have the rest of you guys figured out by now that mmathis is the smartest guy on SlickDeals?
My 13 year-old daughter will walk a mile to high school each day, beginning next year. Will the NRA suggest that all 13 year-olds should carry guns to school in order to be safe? For I argue it is the reckless, unregistered sale of guns that creates the safety problem.
So while I respect the right of mature, law-abiding people to purchase guns for their homes, I think that the reckless and unceasing promotion of their sale throughout the nation makes us less safe.
Maybe I'd even do it over a period of 20 or 30 years and just do it by voting after all my military people and their kids become citizens.

After a whirlwind weekend at the Oklahoma FIRST Regional Competition in Oklahoma City, Team SCREAM has extended its season once again and is headed to the world championship in St. Louis later this month, thanks to a first place win.
Teacher Michael Wright received a phone call early Thursday morning from a FIRST representative asking if Team SCREAM could fill a team opening. The only catch was the competition started Friday morning, and they were already going to miss a full work day. However, the team scrambled and nine students, Wright and mentor Bill Chapman made the trip to Oklahoma City after spending a day reconstructing their robot. After arriving at 11 p.m., the team had to be at the arena at 6:30 a.m. Friday to set up their pit and get ready for a full day of competition, which was plagued by connectivity issues.
"It was a rough Friday," said senior and team captain Chase Bussey. "We had some connectivity issues that caused the robot to lag on the field. I was pretty pessimistic that we weren't going to do well."
Those issues caused the robot to not respond to the driver controls. In what Wright called the "culture" of FIRST competitions, Team SCREAM received assistance from other team mentors who noticed their robot wasn't performing well. The problem was soon fixed, and the team finished qualification matches 9-1, ranking them No. 3 out of 62 teams. Not only did they come out as the champions, but during semifinals they also beat two of the three teams from the alliance that beat them in the Kansas City regional two weeks ago, which had originally ended their season.
"It turned out to be one of our best matches," Bussey said.
"We were eager to face them again," Wright added. "It turned out much happier this time."
The team was cautious about celebrating their overall victory too early. During their competition in Arkansas the team had been announced the winner, but soon the final scores were announced and too many fouls knocked them out of the first place position.
"We waited until we saw the final scores on the screen," said sophomore Nicole Reedy.
Once they saw the scores though, there was no holding back for this team.
"We were hesitant at first, but then we were crying and hugging each other," Reedy said. "Other teams were hugging us too."
"We tasted victory in Arkansas, so we knew what it felt like but they took it away from us because of fouls," Wright said. "Winning this was so much sweeter after all those obstacles."
Because they were added to the list of competitors at the last minute, many teams were unaware Team SCREAM would be attending, and Wright said many were impressed they were able to make the trip.
"A lot of them couldn't believe we made it down there," he said. "It would've been impossible for most of those schools to leave so quickly like we did. I credit that to administration for allowing us to go."
Because of the quick turnaround, only nine students were able to attend, meaning they picked up extra, and new, responsibilities. Reedy had "photographer" tacked on to her list of tasks, something she had never done before, and junior Zel White, who is typically on the pit crew, became one of the human players. Senior Caitlin Williams is the lead scout for the team, but usually leads a group of 12 to 15 teammates around the arena to scope out the competition and to find alliance partners. This weekend she was mostly on her own, with some occasional assistance from Reedy and other teammates. For Williams though, it was no big deal.
"It wasn't too bad," she said. "I pretty much know what we need in an alliance, so it wasn't too bad."
"They were seasoned pros by Oklahoma, so they knew what to look for," Wright added.
Their big win earned Team SCREAM the chance to compete in the FIRST World Championship April 23-26 in St. Louis. They aren't allowed to work on their robot until then, and it's currently sitting wrapped up at the school, waiting to be shipped off later this week. Now the team will work on gathering extra parts such as wheels and arms to bring with them. They'll also be gathering information about other teams to prepare for scouting, unlike Oklahoma where they walked in blind with little prep time.
There will be 400 teams competing from around the world, and Wright said there will be about 30,000 spectators. The scouts will have to sort through hundreds of teams and they will have to work through language barriers with their alliance partners, but all the students are looking forward to the opportunity.
Whether or not Team SCREAM comes home with the title of World Champions at the end of the month, they've already had a successful season and now have a story not many teams can match.
"I think this is the highlight and the story of our season," Wright said of their time in Oklahoma. "It's a good comeback and perseverance story. It's not over until it's over. It made what we endured so much more worth it."

Music of the Moment:
May 1, 2015 - 3:20 pm
5 brand new releases we can't wait to share with you this month:
1. Sam Lewis Waiting On You (Brash) – The sophomore recording from this Nashville transplant brims with sweet country-soul reminiscent of Van Morrison, with an added dash of John Prine. The album is full of Nashville luminaires- Darrell Scott, Kenny Vaughan, Will Kimbrough, Gabe Dixon, the McCrary Sisters and Oliver Wood (who co-produced the album). All in all, this is a beautiful record.
2. The Honeycutters Me Oh My (Organic) – Amanda Platt has taken the reins of this North Carolina band and created their best album to date. If you are a fan of excellent country music, you'll want to put a copy of Me Oh My in your music collection for sure.
3. Eilen Jewell Sundown Over Ghost Town (Signature Sounds) – It's hard to believe Eilen is already on her 7th studio album, but here it is and she continues to put out soulful, country music that feels like home no matter where you're from. In 2012 Eilen moved back to Boise. This album gives an intimate picture of her hometown and reflects on Southern Idaho with wise eyes.

By John Stang Heavy on trains and pipelines, but no Puget Sound oil spill prevention measures. That about sums up a Washington House-Senate compromise on their competing oil transportation safety bills. The Senate passed the compromise, 46-0, on Friday. Shortly after, the measure got a resounding 95-1 Yes from the House. "It's an above-average bill,"

the long ride down south to the sahara
The next day is a tranfser day. We leave the hotel in Ezzara rather early after breakfast.
The goal is to reach Tozeur before dark. The roads were all paved, but of varying quality.
Northern Tunesia resembles southern Italy. Some hills, fiels, lots of Olive trees:
We had a short stop for lunch under some olive trees and a coffee in Gafsa. The cafes in Tunesia (or more or less all arabic countries) are an experience for themselfes. All men of the village meet there to have a drink and / or a shisha. As a motorbiker you are immedately involved in talking. The only bikes in Tunesia are some 50 to 100ccm scooters, so everybody wants to know if you really rode the long way down there, how fast you can go and asks you to do a wheelie when you leave.
Slowly reaching the Djerid region:
on these desert roads you get the impression that we tied the whole world with our cables
it became a race against the sun
we made it just in time before darkness. There is almost no dusk, it's like somebody just switches off the light. We found a nice, small camping under palm trees in Tozeur. We and a couple from Italy, Flavio & Kati, who were travelling on a brand new Tenere, were the only guests.

Knights of Columbus and Project Medishare Host a Media Open House for 'Healing Haiti's Children'
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Jan. 6, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — As the one year anniversary of the devastating Haitian earthquake approaches, every child who lost an arm or leg in that calamity has the hope for a more normal life thanks to a program sponsored by the
Knights of Columbus and run by Project Medishare.
Representatives from Project Medishare and the Knights of Columbus – as well as child amputees who have benefited from the program – will be available on January 10 from 11:00 AM – 2:30 PM to answer questions from the media at the Hospital Bernard MEVs Project Medishare. Media coverage and photographers are all welcome.
Bernard MEVS Project Medishare Hospital:
Airport Road Route de l'auroport Behind Haytrac Derriere Haytrac Enter Village De La Solidarite Entree du village de solidaairt de la porta Port-au-Prince Port-au-Prince
Every child who suffered an amputation as a result of the earthquake is eligible for the "Healing Haiti's Children" program and can receive prosthetic care with rehab for at least two years without cost from the Knights of Columbus and Project Medishare.
"We are honored to be able to give the important gift of hope to the children of Haiti. It is rare to be able to give a gift that changes a life forever. Providing mobility does just that, for few things can change a child's life as completely as the ability to regain freedom of movement," said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Carl Anderson.
"Project Medishare is proud of its partnership with the Knights of Columbus which has allowed us to launch hundreds of Haitian children from wheelchairs to standing up and facing the many challenges of their devastated nation. Unfortunately each one of these growing precious child amputees requires two or three new legs each year, which makes it essential to continue this life and limb saving project," said Dr. Barth Green, founder of Project Medishare.
More than 100 children have already been fitted with prostheses and have begun therapy, while hundreds more will soon receive a prosthetic through the program.
The Knights of Columbus is one of the most active charitable organizations in the United States and internationally, and has committed more than $1 million to the program. In addition, last year alone the Knights donated more than $151 million and 69 million hours to charity worldwide.
In June 2010, just five months after the earthquake, Project Medishare transitioned its operations out of its tent hospital and into Hospital Bernard Mevs. Hospital Bernard Mevs Project Medishare is a 50 bed trauma, critical care, rehabilitation hospital in Port-au-Prince. The hospital accommodates a busy inpatient/outpatient rehabilitation program complete with a prosthesis lab and an outpatient clinic which provides general healthcare to the people of Haiti.

New Publication Focuses On Molecular Imaging, Cardiovascular Conditions
JNM supplement examines advances in cardiovascular molecular imaging
The Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM)""the top-rated medical imaging journal worldwide""has published Multimodality Molecular Imaging of the Cardiovascular System, presenting the state of the art of cardiovascular molecular imaging and discussing opportunities and challenges in advancing cardiovascular molecular imaging to clinical practice.
"Cardiovascular molecular imaging is still a relatively novel field," said Heinrich R. Schelbert, M.D., Ph.D., editor-in-chief of JNM. "The supplement represents a composite of the work being done""which will help us to understand more than we have ever known about the heart and will pave the way for future research."
This peer-reviewed supplement, available in May 2010, provides in-depth research on a broad range of topics related to cardiovascular molecular imaging and combines the work of several scientific communities""including radiology, cardiology and nuclear medicine""to provide a comprehensive overview of this emerging field.
"The creation of multidisciplinary basic and translational research teams that employ cellular and molecular imaging will lead to improved management of cardiovascular disease," said Albert J. Sinusas, M.D., director of cardiovascular imaging at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., and guest editor of the JNM supplement.
Articles in the new publication investigate topics that cover the entire spectrum of technology currently used to visualize the heart, including ultrasound, MRI, radiotracers, novel probes and other advances in instrumentation. Some articles discuss the use of intravascular devices that go inside the heart, while others approach the heart from noninvasive imaging perspectives. Also covered are areas of great potential, such as stem cell therapy and the introduction of nanoparticles for "theranostics"""the combination of diagnostics and therapy for drug delivery. Several research articles examine multiple methods of imaging the heart as it goes through the repair process following a heart attack called "remodeling."
The supplement also examines the role of molecular imaging in explaining the cellular processes that underlie prevalent heart diseases, such as atherosclerosis (hardening of the artery walls). With better understanding of the molecular biology of atherosclerosis, researchers hope to be able to diagnose it in its earliest stages.
"These studies were conducted with the goal of understanding how to prevent diseases that affect the heart by detecting them before they manifest," said Sinusas. "Another goal was to identify individual risk factors so that physicians can direct patients to the right therapy and use imaging to evaluate whether that therapy is working."

Volvo S60 T6 R-Design quick spinNew Car Reviews Motor Reviews Motor News
Volvo S60 R-Design.
The car: Volvo S60 T6 R-Design
Price: From $75,140 plus on-road costs.
Vitals: 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo petrol; 242kW and 480Nm; 6-sp auto; 10.2L/100km; AWD.
What is it?
The flagship of the newly facelifted S60 range, a turbocharged sedan that can dash to 100km/h in just 5.7 seconds.
What isn't it?
A fully fledged Polestar Volvo in the same vein as the Mercedes-Benz AMG line. Volvo has not offered the new sedan with a hot-rod successor to the limited edition S60 Polestar, though the T6 R-Design does have a "Polestar-optimised" engine.
What does it say about me?
That you want a car with speed and style, but something outside the box.
What doesn't it say about me?
That you want to impress mates with a new luxury car. Something German is likely to have a little more street cred.
Who else is buying it?
V8 Supercars fans might consider it. This shape is the basis for Volvo's entry into Australia's touring car series.
If it were a celebrity, who would it be?
Swedish actor Dolph Lundgren, the 196cm heavyweight who took on Rocky Balboa as Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. Chiselled and powerful with unconventional appeal.
What colours does it come in?
We tested the S60 in passion red, but it also comes in Smurf-esque blue, along with a more subdued dark metallic navy, two shades of white and the obligatory black, silver and grey options.
Best bits?
We're big fans of Volvo's adaptive digital display that lets you customise the digital displays with themes that focus on performance economy or elegant settings. A $5000 driver support option pack also brings plenty of toys including Volvo's excellent adaptive cruise control.
Worst bits?
Fuel economy of 10L/100km is well behind rival sporting sedans such as the BMW 335i, which uses just 7.2L/100km. The steering is also quite heavy, and lacks feel for a car with performance pretensions.
Does it cost too much?
Not at all - $75,000 might look steep for a mid-sized sedan, but it's about $18,000 cheaper than that similarly nippy BMW 335i, or only a couple of grand more than the blue-collar HSV Clubsport R8.
Will it get me noticed?
Probably not, but choosing the bright rebel blue finish will help your chances.
How's the cabin ambience?
Excellent, thanks to R-Design treatment that includes a meaty steering wheel with paddle shifters and heavily bolstered seats that come in handy when the turbo lights up.
Does it go?
Yes - after a moment. The T6 has a little bit of turbo lag before delivering sharp performance, a bit like Sven lining up an unwelcome insect before delivering a thwap with his ergonomically correct Maseur sandal.
Does it like corners?
With grippy tyres and Haldex all-wheel-drive, the S50 T6 hangs on well, though it doesn't change direction quite as quickly as nimbler sedans such as the more expensive Audi S4.
What about bumps?
Ride quality is not great - customers worried about smoothness should forego the stiff R-Design package and select a softer option.
Would you buy one?
I'd strongly consider it. This S60 is a handsome thing with plenty of grunt that undercuts similarly powered European rivals.
The spin
The new R-Design models are a perfect match for performance-minded individuals with a passion for exquisite details.
The Translation
If you're ready for something different, this might be what you're looking for.

Indeed so - good writing, but not yet at the standard of the late (and much missed) LJK Setright, whose erudition was in a class above: his 'spasmodic eructations' (for exhaust burble) still sets that benchmark for this reader.

Indeed so, Chiggs. Seems a rather learned chap, this McCowen. And one must applaud his use of simile; I'll henceforth think of turbo lag as 'Sven's sandal syndrome'.

The car was widely criticised in Motor magazine and rated last or near last in every category. Most judges also laughed themselves stupid over the insane pricing of this rather ordinary car that only seemed to be fast in a straight line.
Good luck ever getting 7.2l/100km in a BMW 335i, not even downhill with a tail wind.

Actually, first under Ford's patronage and now Geely, Volvo has been producing some pretty good cars and are far removed from the Bowls Hat brigade of years past. Their products have certainly been more globally accepted (from a country with a smaller population than Australia) than has the Commodore or Falcon!
I would have no problem owning a Volvo as "golf club cred" is not important to me! Certainly, there work in safety is to be applauded!

It's time probably to seriously consider excessive fuel-use as a pre-cursor to create a "stay-away from this vehicle" section. 10L/100K plus in today's environmentally conscious age in entirely unacceptable. If new engines today can achieve results better than 8L/100K then that's it. Anything else is excessive and our environment will much better do without extravagant excesses.

except that the quoted fuel use from the euro's are completely fictional. dont believe anything you read re their fuel use and factor in 98 octane.
a car that travels 10000kms a year using 10Lper 100km ( at $2 per L ) will use $200 more worth of fuel compared to a car that uses 8L per 100kms. big deal.
its not much when your a mug coughing up $150K for a euro you know full well will lose about $1000 per week in depreciation.
$200 a year compared to a well over $52000 is utterly irrelevant.
I often laugh when these euro mugs prattle on about how much they are going to save from their expected fuel use.

Increase bike visibility
Bicycle riders and automobile drivers each have a responsibility to drive safely and anticipate unexpected moves by others using public streets. Accidental collisions of bicycles and motor vehicles normally result in physical damage to the bicycle rider and mental anguish for the motor vehicle driver.
I endorse bicycle riders and applaud their physical activity as being healthy and beneficial to the community. However I am alarmed at the tendency of bike riders to assume that if they are in their lane they are protected by law and safe.If I was riding a bike I would not take any chance of letting a 4,000 pound vehicle hit me, even if the law was on my side.
At dusk non-illuminated riders can become invisible by blending in with their surroundings. Bicycles cruising on an unmarked street in their lanes at dusk think that anybody in a car can see them and they are safe.
Well, let me say that in the last five months I have almost hit two different groups of riders that were happily riding along at dusk and they had totally blended into the background, rendering them invisible to a motorist.
I believe any person using a bicycle should have a rear facing flashing red blinker sold cheaply at all bike stores. None of the ones I encountered had any enhanced blinkers to signify their presence and I almost hit them. This scared the bejabbers out of me and I cannot even officially state what bejabbers means.

Kindness of strangers
We all know how bad the storms got Thursday — even though the day started out nice and sunny. I decided to do some much needed grocery shopping, since I hadn't been in about a month.
I made the trip to the Flour Bluff H-E-B and finished my shopping just in time to watch the intense hailstorm from the front doors.When it finally started to calm down I decided to go for it and headed for the car under the protection of a newly purchased umbrella. I got to my car and attempted to load the basket FULL of groceries and still hold onto the umbrella!
I wasn't having much success when a complete stranger came up to me and asked if she could hold my umbrella while I loaded the car with my substantial purchases! I was quite taken aback, but very grateful.
As if the kindness of a stranger wasn't enough, I noticed that she had a badge identifying her as a "volunteer" at the children's hospital! As if that wasn't enough, I noticed she had a scarf tied around her head.She is a cancer patient — and she was concerned about ME trying to load groceries in the rain? Now, if that's not enough to prove that angels walk right here on earth, I don't know what is. I don't know who that woman was, but God bless her for the AMAZING person she is!

Stop killing honeybees
"Who is killing the honeybees" was asked on the national news on May 10.
Let me tell you. Corpus Christi kills honeybees by the thousands. I cannot believe that people don't call the city to have a beekeeper respond. I worked in the police department in Fresno, Calif. We had a list of beekeepers who could be called to respond to take the bees.
With the bee population down by 30 percent, bees are important to a third of all crops and most, if not all, flowers.
There is no reason why Corpus Christi can't start a list of beekeepers to call when needed. With the emphasis on agriculture in California, there is no charge for bee removal. And beekeepers, you can also help by collecting the bees for free. It will benefit you also.

text: Oscar and Emmy-winning actor Louis Gossett, Jr. narrates this dramatic look at the people who raised their voices in song against racism and inequality. Change was in the air, and it was the singers and songwriters of such unforgettable melodies as "A Change is Gonna Come", "Blowin' in the Wind", and "People Get Ready who helped give the Civil Rights Movement it's anthems and soul. Hear firsthand accounts of how the Mississippi Freedom Riders used music to summon courage in the face of great danger, reflect on the brutality of enforced segregation with Billy Holiday's haunting ballad "Strange Fruit", and watch as the seeds of change that were planted in the 1960s blossoms in the music, politics, and culture of the decades that followed.
