Justice for Trayvon organizers react to Zimmerman murder charges
The Bay Area joined cities across the country in holding protests and rallies demanding justice for Trayvon Martin, a 17-year-old shot and killed by 28-year-old George Zimmerman in Sanford, Florida Feb. 26. 700 wore hoodies and marched downtown March 21. An "emergency scream-out" held March 26 outside of the Hall of Justice and jail at 850 Bryant called for justice for Martin as well as victims of police violence such as Ramarley Graham, an unarmed 18-year old Bronx man who was killed in his home by police. A "hoodies and hijabs" march last week in Oakland commemorated Martin's death alongside the death of Shaima Al-Awadi, a 32-year old mother of five who was killed in a potential hate crime in her El Cajon home last month.
Speakers at these protests expressed outrage that Zimmerman had not been charged with any crime.
Now he has. On April 11, Zimmerman was charged with murder in the second degree.
I asked local activists- is this justice?
"I'm not jumping up for joy that this murderer has finally been arrested. I hope we can question what took so long," said Tiny Gray-Garcia, creator of POOR magazine, who helped organize the scream-out.
She compared the case to that of Oscar Grant and his killer, Johannes Mehserle. After protest erupted demanding that Mehserle be charged with Grant's killing, he became the first police officer in the history of California to be charged with murder. He was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served eleven months in prison.
"In the same way that Mehserle was finally charged, will Zimmerman eventually get a slap on the wrist?" asked Gray-Garcia.
The March 26 scream-out was "not only for our young brother Trayvon. It was for Oscar Grant, Ramarley Graham, it was for Idress Stelley, Aiyana Jones, all the victims of police terror," said Gray-Garcia
Unlike Graham, Stelley, and Jones, Martin was not killed by a police officer. But Gray-Garcia believes that his death can be atttibuted to "police culture."
"Trayvon was murdered by a volunteer vigilante," said Gray-Garcia of the neighborhood watch captain who had aspirations of becoming a police officer. "He was part of a violent police culture."
If police and prison culture is a problem, is Zimmerman's arrest- by police- justice?
In the media storm that followed the incident, some writers, such as this one at the Crunk Feminist Collective, have grappled with the question.
"How can I demand a criminal conviction for Zimmerman when I am opposed to prisons?" asks the Crunk Feminist Collective writer. "How do I reconcile these things? I'm not sure yet. But what I do know is that this really is not about the prison, but about a prison state that targets black and brown bodies in problematic ways. It's about a system of policing and surveillance, in which some bodies are always under the eye of the state."
Isaac Ontiveros of the Oakland-based Critical Resistance, a group whose "vision is the creation of genuinely safe, healthy communities that respond to harm without relying on prisons and punishment," has also struggled with this issue.
"That's a challenging question for everybody," said Ontiveros. "Part of it is, how can we start to dislodge the logic of neighborhood watches? You look at neighborhood watch associations and who are they watching, what do they mean by neighborhood, and who is considered suspicious?"
After Martin's death, protests across the country were unrelenting calling for Zimmerman's arrest. Days before the arrest and charge were made, a group of students who had marched 40 miles to Sanford from Daytona Beach "occupied" the Sanford police station, condemning how the case had been handled and demanding the termination of Sanford police Chief Bill Lee Jr. Police had declined to press charges against Zimmerman, saying that he had acted in self-defense.
On March 23, almost a month after the Feb. 26 shooting, Florida governor Rick Scott appointed special prosecutor Angela Corey to investigate the case. Zimmerman was charged with murder and taken into custody April 11.
"We do not prosecute by public pressure or petition. We prosecute based on facts and the laws of Florida," said Corey at the time.
"She contends that neither petitions or media pressure influenced her decision, when we know too well that without it, nothing would have happened to Zimmerman," said Mesha Irizarry, another scream-out organizer. Irizarry's son, Idriss Stelley, was killed by police in 2001.
The incident has put a national spotlight on racism in the United States. In Sanford, the NAACP held a town hall meeting for African American residents to air their frustrations with profiling in their own lives; hundreds attended.
"If you're black and you're shot, particularly by someone who's not black, that it is not viewed as seriously," Sanford City Manager Norton Bonaparte told Reuters.
He added: "that's why some feel that Mr. Zimmerman was allowed to just go on his way while Mr. Martin went to a morgue. And certainly if it was reversed, and Zimmerman had been black, he would have been detained and arrested."
The same sentiment was expressed by protesters in San Francisco March 21. The speakers that day were family members of black teens who had been killed and whose murders had, they said, not been thoroughly investigated.
"Personal justice would be to open up all these other cases," said Gray-Garcia.

Martha Coakley's loss in Massachusetts put on display the monumental miscalculations by which Obama has governed.
Obama's opportunistic search for win-win solutions to our healthcare concerns and our larger economic problems is leading to a lose-lose outcome for the president and the country.
Organizing for America marks the first time a political party has deployed a permanent field program to advance a policy agenda between elections.
Like the Progressives, Obama seems to believe government can move beyond partisan politics.

Disappointment is one thing American liberals can be certain of. Optimism is the real challenge.
The Obama campaign was a massive grassroots mobilization, but a year later, has the organization that grew out of it failed to keep up the momentum?

When I set upon my journey of trying to become the "Charles Bukowski of Sports Journalism" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski I expected a lot of things: tremors, dyspepsia, nausea, explosive diarrhea, palpitations, projectile vomiting, acute pancreaitis and the occasional case of dropsy (people still get that, right), and believe me I have not been disappointed. What I did not expect is the outpouring of support I've received, particularly from some two dozen loyal readers who "didn't just save my life, but made my life worth saving" (McCormick & Jojo, copyright 1986).

As Madonna celebrates her 48th birthday, it's high time for a little truth or dare: Are her dreams of being a movie star "Swept Away," or is she still looking for "The Next Big Thing"?
Earlier this month, the star seemed adamant in pronouncing her film career over, even as Billboard Magazine predicted that her current "Confessions" tour -- which grossed $86 million in the United States. -- is on its way to becoming the biggest international tour ever by a female artist.
"I hate to admit it, but I've decided to give that up,'' she told the World Entertainment News Network and an Italian fashion magazine as she continued the European leg of the "Confessions" tour.
"How can any film survive if everyone says it's going to be a flop from the very day the project is even conceived? It's already dead in the water. To continue to try to do films with the knowledge that everyone will just spit on them -- and enjoy doing so -- just doesn't make sense to me any more."
Still, Madonna assured ABC News Radio that she's not quite ready to leave her cinematic aspirations behind, and if she can't make it in front of the camera, she ultimately has plans to direct.
"I would love to do something connected to dancing or to music or dancing, where that was a big part of the story," she said. "I would like it to be an original story that I write, maybe, possibly with somebody."
Of course, Madonna is married to director Guy Ritchie. But their disastrous collaboration, 2002's "Swept Away," became a legendary punching bag for film critics and a punch line for late night comics. It also has the dubious distinction of being the only film to win Razzie Awards as the year's worst movie and worst sequel (believe it or not, that movie was made once before).
The film junkies that bestow the Razzies had earlier named her Worst Actress of the Century for such bombs as "Who's That Girl?" "Body of Evidence" and "Shanghai Surprise."
"You could compare her to Elvis in that her star power never fully translated into movie stardom, and she's begun to embarrass herself," says film historian and pop culture expert Mark Hill, a professor at Temple University. "Her status as an icon is more and more jeopardized with each new movie."
Presley famously frittered away his fan base with a series of campy beach party movies in the 1960s, and his career didn't hit another upswing until he returned to performing.
Certainly many stars have failed on the big screen, including Britney Spears and Mariah Carey in recent years. Hill actually thinks critics overstate Madonna's bad acting. "She's succeeded in some roles. The problem is, the stakes are higher for Madonna. She's an all-time star, a historic figure," he says.
"Her ambition makes it unlikely at this point that she'd take anything but a lead role. And when she fails, she has so much more to lose."
Madonna certainly succeeded in 1985's "Desperately Seeking Susan," and she received critical praise for 1992's "A League of Their Own." But both of those roles were supporting performances. Her most successful starring role came in "Evita," for which she won a 1996 Golden Globe Award.

SAN CARLOS, Calif., Oct. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- (11:00 PM PT, Oct. 20) -- Nektar Therapeutics (Nasdaq: NKTR) today announced that Novartis AG has agreed to acquire from Nektar specific pulmonary delivery assets, technology, and intellectual property for $115 million in cash.
"This agreement will allow us to focus our efforts on the development of novel therapeutics using our PEGylation and conjugate chemistry-based drug development platforms," said Nektar President and CEO Howard W. Robin. "The transaction also strengthens our balance sheet and significantly reduces expenses. It is a perfect example of our ability to monetize assets that had little future value for Nektar."
Novartis will assume ownership of certain dry powder and liquid pulmonary formulation and manufacturing assets, including capital equipment and manufacturing facility capital lease obligations. The agreement also transfers to Novartis approximately 140 Nektar personnel, as well as certain intellectual property and manufacturing methods. Additionally, Nektar will transfer manufacturing and royalty rights to the Tobramycin inhalation powder (TIP) program, already partnered with Novartis.
Nektar will retain ownership of its Bayer HealthCare-partnered program NKTR-061 (Amikacin Inhale), scheduled to enter Phase 3 clinical trials by year-end, and royalties to Ciprofloxacin inhaled powder (CIP), also partnered with Bayer HealthCare. Likewise, Nektar will retain NKTR-063 (inhaled vancomycin), a proprietary program scheduled to enter Phase 2 development in the U.S. early next year, as well as all intellectual property specific to inhaled insulin.

He was named United States Rolex Yachtsman of the Year twice (1985 and 1995), and has won more than 40 world, North American, and national championships in a variety of classes including the J/24 and Etchells 22. While sailing at Boston University (Boston, MA. USA) Read was a three-time collegiate All American (1981, 1982 and 1983) and is a member of the BU Hall of Fame. Read also won the "Everett B. Morris Trophy", awarded to the ICSA College Sailor of the Year in 1982.[1] Read was helmsman aboard two (2000, 2003) of Dennis Conner's Stars & Stripes America's Cup campaigns. He also served as strategist and coach with America's Cup entry Young America in 1999.
Read first began racking up offshore miles when he joined the Ericsson Racing Team for the last four legs of the 2005-2006 Volvo Ocean Race.[2]
Read was skipper of Puma Ocean Racing Team's il Mostro in the 2008-2009 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race[3]—his first complete circumnavigation. Read took a sabbatical from his job as vice president of sailmaking company North Sails to skipper PUMA Ocean Racing's entry in the race.
On October 29, 2011 Read returned as skipper for a second time to lead PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG's entry Mar Mostro in the 2011-2012 Edition of the Volvo Ocean Race.[4]
In July, 2012 Mar Mostro finished its circumnavigation in Galway, Ireland in third place, securing a third place overall victory in the 2011-2012 edition of the Volvo Ocean Race.[5] Alongside a third place podium finish, Read led PUMA Ocean Racing powered by BERG to a first place overall victory in the In-Port Series.[6] Read stated the 2011-2012 Volvo Ocean Race would be his last.[7]

I'm going to go ahead and keep calling the Duke University outed porn star by her stage name, Belle Knox. You can look up her real name on Google if you're so inclined, but a good chunk of our Hollywood celebrities aren't using their birth names either so I don't really see the difference.
It's her public persona name, and, indeed, Belle Knox got very public at the HeadQuarters strip club in the Big Apple, dancing around in her school girl costume, naturally, and removing her top to flash her ACC All-Star udders. Obviously, there's much more of Belle to see than this particular show, but I think it's worth noting that her feminism extends to live work as well. Personally, I'd have rather done porn than a whole bunch of shitty jobs I had to pay for college. Hmm, cleaning clogged toilets in group homes or having paid sex on camera? Belle is much smarter and more merchandisable than I. Enjoy.

If you can afford the 3-5 year old boat you want, that's a much better bet than a new one. But again - you're buying the owner(s) as well as the boat.
B. On surveyors: Your surveyor must go up the mast. S/he must be able to test electrical and engine systems. You must do a haul out. Even with all that, YOU should test that every aspect of the boat works (or that the price reflects known defects), inspect every turnbuckle, find and view the chainplates, etc. Surveyors do have limited time, but hopefully you only fully rely on them for expertise you don't have.
Every surveyor contract I have read says that they do not go up the mast and that engines and rigging are not covered other than basic inspection. Rigging and mechanical inspections are separate, and normally different people.

Photographer, Artist, Photo-Journalist. My love of photography started when I was 9 years old and my Grandfather put a camera in my hands and taught me how to use it. Of course it was clunky and used *gasp* film back in those days. Through the years my enjoyment of capturing moments in time with the camera has only increased as has my love of art. These I carried with me from the southern US to Europe and back again to a place once called Indian Territory. It is in this beautiful place I find limitless inspiration and opportunity.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg defended his ban on sugar-sweetened drinks that are larger than 16 ounces and said the city will appeal a judge's ruling that struck down the measure hours before it was to take effect. State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling called the ban arbitrary and said the "loopholes in this rule effectively defeat the stated purpose."

The best rap songs were snaps and whistles floating in negative space. The best rap albums were screwed lethargic purple sap. The best metal records were sucking abysses of doom feedback. The best electronic records were skeletal house made from tiny clicks and cuts. Then why did all the best rock records sound just like last year's best rock records?

Whatever music I love at any given moment always exists in the here and now, whether it came out last week, 10 years ago, or in 1963. "Outta Control" 's main competitors for my favourite song of the year were the Spikedrivers' "Often I Wonder," Hot Tuna's "Sea Child," Yo La Tengo's "Satellite," and a dozen other things that felt every bit as wondrous as 50 Cent's record. That his gave up nothing to any of them is why he's 1.

Be it the rap and r&b favored by my teen daughter, or the WEQX-derived "alt-rock" that's the staple of her twin, their music comes and goes with unfailing impermanence, mere ringtones for ears and a heart wanting more. But at age 55, life is too short to wallow in the music of my youth, no matter how tenacious its hold.

What does it mean to stay fly? It means never bringing your own because your friends let you smoke for free. It means repping Tennessee, home of the 12-syllable vowel. It means smoke all night, sleep all day, because that's the American way. It means picking your teeth in the hotel corridor. It means not leaving your shit around DJ Paul unless you don't mind getting your shit lit up. It means treating your friends like stars even when they're ugly. It means having friends. It means not dying.

Floyd Vines steps through the door to the lobby of the J. Van Story Branch Apartments on the unit block of W. 20th St. and greets a series of people there. This is his lobby now, and these are his people, since he was elected tenant council president on April 23.
"This is Mr. Phil," Vines says, sidling up to a large, smiling man. "Mr. Phil, I want you to meet Mr. Ericson, from City Paper . . ."
"She was brave enough to stand up and say what would happen," Vines says. The woman declines to give her name.
Vines' signature appears on an April 29 letter to the City Council and another to HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan asking that the program be delayed and reconsidered in favor of something more democratic, like a resident co-op-a prospect that appears remote. He and some activists-the letter to Donovan has 95 signatures-say the tenants and workers have not had their views integrated into the RAD plan.
Now Floyd Vines is among the last hopes of those seeking a place at a negotiating table that does not exist. He represents tenant democracy in the public housing system. "They say I won by landslide. . . . that's like 75 votes out of 357 people," Vines says, as dissatisfied with the turnout as he is satisfied by his victory.
Whether Vines, who has lived at J. Van Story Branch for about two years, can have an impact remains to be seen. The odds are against it, and the building has clearly rebuffed previous efforts. There are holes here and there in the sheetrock. There is rust on the pipes in the stairwell. The bulletin board in the office has a federal minimum wage announcement dated 1997.
There has been as much as 2 inches of water in this very lobby in the past week because a pipe broke in a common bathroom on the floor, Vines and Mr. Phil say. The pipes leak and break throughout the building on a regular basis, according to Vines and other residents-indicating that the whole plumbing system is near the end of its life.
The elevators are about the same.
"We've had times in here when we didn't even have one," Vines says, surveying the three elevators. He asks the maintenance guy when that was last time that happened. The maintenance guy says they were all out at once back in February-for nearly two weeks.
When the elevators did not work, the residents who couldn't take the stairs were stuck on their floors. Vines says he checked on his neighbors on the sixth floor and offered to bring groceries. "They didn't want to be a burden," he says. "They were trying to give me money, I said, 'No, no, I understand you're on a fixed income.'"
Everyone here is on a fixed income. Social Security, Social Security disability payments. Maybe a small pension here and there. Very few-if any-could afford to rent a similar place at market prices.
"You would think that HUD would at least have a plan to put enough money aside to fix the elevators," Vines says.
Hence the housing authority's decision to sell this building, along with 21 others, to private bidders in a series of deals that began last summer ("Sale On," Mobtown Beat, April 9). The authority says it would cost $800 million to fix all the buildings it owns. As a matter of policy, the federal government has for decades declined to fund city housing authorities well enough to maintain their housing stock. The RAD program is meant to get some private money (raised substantially through a tax credit given to corporations) to offset the missing federal allotment.
"All the profits these corporation have been making is because they are not putting any money back into the infrastructure," Vines says. "The same thing is true everywhere, with the city's waterworks, the electric grid is going down. Roads and bridges."
Vines appreciates such things. A journeyman electrician, he says he has worked for Bethlehem Steel and he was in Local 333 of the International Longshoreman's Association. He says he had a friend at the steel mill, an older guy he remembers as "Mr. John," who was in his 40s maybe when Vines was in his early 20s-40 years ago. "And he was just tough," Vines says. "He'd make me feel like a punk, the way he could work."
Vines is clear he was no slouch in the work department, often working full time while attending college. He says he's lucky to have come up at a time when work, well, worked. "I had one professor and he said to us, 'Don't worry if anyone says you're fired. Go to the next job, the next place, and you'll find it's better there.'"
Mr. John was a "straight arrow," Vines says. And years after they worked together, maybe 5 years ago,Vines ran into him, sitting on a bench downtown. "I thought he was homeless," he recalls. He sat down and they recognized each other. Mr. John told Vines his wife had died after an illness. He'd remortgaged the house as part of that, so he lost that too. And then, just a little while before they met, Mr. John got a letter from the steel company rescinding a good part of his pension. "They were asking for money back," Vines says. "I said, 'You gotta be kidding me.' At that point I understood, if they can fuck a white guy like that, a straight arrow who gave everything he had to the company, then as a black guy I know I ain't got nothin' coming."
This is the feeling a lot of Americans have gotten over the past decade or two, but Vines says it with an inflection that sounds more like amusement than bitterness-the attitude one develops after solving a difficult puzzle or becoming a Buddhist monk.
Tenant Council President Fights The Power
Floyd Vines might be the last, best hope for public housing residents fighting privatization

We share some of WingNwing's cruising ground and cruise south for the winter as retirees. We've been cruising north and south while living aboard on the East Coast for many years while keeping some community in 25 to 30 ports. We spend much time anchored out, but when we do take a slip we usually take a monthly rate. Daily transient rates are high. Free docks and anchorages with amenities are not common, but present for short periods and some mooring fields suit us well. There's a fairly large supportive community that tends to flock in specific areas with the seasons. There are "snowbird rookeries" in Vero Beach and Marathon that we avoid, but some like to stick with the big crowds. At the the northern range marinas are more expensive north of the Chesapeake, but there are great summer anchorages all the way up through Maine. We usually find our best monthly rates in Baltimore and the St. Johns River of North Florida, but cruise from Maine to the Bahamas. We know little about houses, but we've been liveaboard cruisers for forty years and it's an easy life. Take care and joy, Aythya crew

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — TCU is about to get into what coach Trent Johnson called "big boy basketball" — and that means performances like Sunday's against Mississippi Valley State aren't going to cut it.
TCU holds on to beat MVSU 67-64
Adrick McKinney scored the tiebreaking basket with 34 seconds left and the Horned Frogs held on to beat the winless Delta Devils 67-64 in TCU's final nonconference game before its first Big 12 season begins Saturday night against Texas Tech.
"With the exception of the first five minutes where I thought we did a decent job of executing and playing together, I thought the last 35 minutes weren't very good," Johnson said. "Very disappointing. Mississippi Valley State's energy was a lot better than ours, their ability to get to loose balls, rebound the ball, their ability to play together was a lot better than ours."
Matt Smith's uncontested layup started an 8-3 run for MVSU, and that run ended with Blake Ralling's uncontested layup with 3:43 left that drew the Delta Devils (0-10) even at 60.
Darryl Marshall scored to give MVSU its only lead of the game just over a minute later, but McKinney tied the score with 1:40 left and gave TCU the lead for good with his putback.
After McKinney's go-ahead score, Mississippi Valley State threw the ball away with 10.9 seconds left. Garlon Green made a pair of free throws and Kyan Anderson made another one for TCU (9-4) following Marshall's basket that cut the lead to 66-64. Marshall missed a tying 3-point attempt before the buzzer.
"A lot of times, kids get caught up in looking at a won-loss record . that's not how you play this game," Johnson said. "It's a respect for competition, and you play to the level of how good you are. We didn't do that.
"For us to come in here and think we're just going to roll over them? No. . We're not tough enough to turn it on and off versus anybody."
While the Delta Devils are winless, all 10 of their games have been on the road this season. They open the Southwestern Athletic Conference season at Arkansas-Pine Bluff before finally playing a home game Jan. 6 against Alabama A&M.
MVSU almost got a win on Sunday. But Anderson scored 16 points, Green finished with 15 and McKinney had 13 points and nine rebounds for TCU, which has won three straight. Nine of TCU's 13 games this season have been decided by seven points or less, and the Frogs are 6-3 in those games.
One bright spot for TCU was guard Nate Butler Lind's play on Davon Usher, MVSU's top scorer at 17 points per game. Usher scored just six points on 3-of-10 shooting in 32 minutes. Matt Smith had 17 points to lead the Delta Devils, and Darius Tomlin added 13 points.
TCU never trailed for the first 36 minutes but struggled throughout.
In the first half, Green and Anderson hit back-to-back 3-pointers from the top of the key in a 25-second span to put the Frogs up 23-11. But then Ralling got rolling, hitting consecutive 3-pointers to start the Delta Devils on a 12-4 run to get within 27-23. It was 37-33 TCU at halftime.
The Horned Frogs shot 49.1 percent but was out rebounded in the game 36-34.
"We were very fortunate to win this game, very lucky to win this basketball game," Johnson said. "I cannot look you in the face and say Mississippi Valley State didn't outplay us."

On offense, Brady is looking sharper. I love the fact that the Pats are running the ball more! In fact, Phil Simms the CBS commentator quoted Brady as saying "we need to run more and have a balance attack". That's the second week someone on the Pats said it's time to pound the ball. Very interesting Galloway was inactive!!!! I would not be surprised if he were cut Watson had some nice catches wonder if Belichick would ever consider putting him out at WR? He has the speed. It would be a great mismatch with some 5'9" defensive back!!! We are thin at WR but deep at running back. Maroney keeps dancing or running east and west! Too bad. Taylor, Morris & Falk make up the successful running trio. So, I always find it interesting to watch Belichick mold a bunch of player together. Overall, this team looks like it is gaining confidence!
The new look Pats
posted at 10/4/2009 6:48 PM EDTIt's clear things are improving with these new look Pats. The defense is coming together. Some guys are stepping up and others are starting to disappear. I like the fact that McGowan is now in at safety. He is a player! He will replace Sanders. Sanders seems like a weak link in the seconday. Always a few seconds late on each play. Boy, did Meriweather bail him out on a red zone! He showed Speed. Merriweather is stepping up! Butler is productive as a nickel back. Did Wheatley ever see the field against baltimore? Guyton keeps improving. I loved the fact the Pats were getting more pressure on the opposing QB! The four Dline is pushing and collapsing the pocket into the QB.
Re: The new look Pats
posted at 10/8/2009 7:21 PM EDTI am absolutely loving the play of Meriweather, so far. Ed Reed and Troy P. have proven the the position can still be a playmaker position and I won't say Meriweather is in that company yet, but he is making huge strides and is due for a breakout game.

RACE: Are We So Different? Will Help Visitors Explore the Reality – and Unreality – of Race
Exhibit opens on October 3, 2009 at the California Science Center
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Beginning Saturday, October 3, visitors to the California Science Center will explore the controversial issues of race and racism in the United States through the thought-provoking exhibit "RACE: Are We So Different?" Using interwoven perspectives, the exhibition encourages guests to examine the science, everyday impact, and history of race. RACE will be hosted at the Science Center until December 31, 2009.
(Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090918/DC78578)
"We are pleased to host RACE in its West Coast premiere," said Jeffrey Rudolph, President and CEO of the California Science Center. "This exhibit presents an opportunity to bridge science and social issues and to discover the effects of race in our lives and within society."
Three perspectives on a wide-reaching topic
RACE addresses the topics of race and racism from three different angles. The three sections are connected and tell a compelling story of science with deep and lasting social impact.
– Science: In this section of the exhibit, visitors will discover that human beings are more alike than any other living species, and no one gene or set of genes can support the idea of race.
– Everyday experience: Though race may not be a real biological concept, it certainly is real both socially and culturally. In this section of the exhibit, visitors will explore the personal experiences of race in our schools, neighborhoods, health care systems, sports and entertainment industries, and more.
– History: Ideas about race have been around for hundreds of years, and they have changed over time. This section of RACE demonstrates that, throughout American history, economic interests, popular culture, science, politics, and the struggle for power have played a role in shaping our understanding of race.
The exhibit features the work of photographer Wing Young Huie, who specializes in documenting the changing cultural landscape of urban environments. His Lake Street USA project transformed six miles of Minneapolis' Lake Street into a public art project that earned national attention in 2000.
A project of American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota, RACE promotes discovery, discussion and reflection through a powerful and interactive combination of artifacts, historic and contemporary photography, multimedia components, and interactive activities.
RACE is part of a larger public education project from American Anthropological Association and funded by the Ford Foundation and the National Science Foundation. The project is intended to inform and shape the national dialogue about race. In addition to the exhibit, the initiative includes a website, educational materials, and conferences designed to share research and information with the public. The national tour of RACE: Are We So Different? is presented by the Best Buy Children's Foundation. The exhibit is presented with local support from the Sempra Energy Foundation.
In addition to RACE, Science Center visitors are invited to view two IMAX films Pulse: A Stomp Odyssey, and Across the Sea of Time. Pulse is a visual and auditory celebration of diversity and culture, rhythm, and humanity. Through percussion groups from around the globe, the film chronicles a world without boundaries or prejudices and provides a striking example of the global spirit that is a common thread within us all. Across the Sea of Time follows a young boy's quest to connect with his relatives based on an ancestor's photographs, played out on the background of a vibrant and diverse New York. The film explores our past, and urges reflection on our collective national heritage.
Related Programming
Visitors can also enjoy the Science Matters discussion "The Medicalization of Race," on Saturday, November 21, 2009. Scientists will discuss the scientific basis of race and human variation. In this light, panelists will debate the practical costs and benefits of racial categorization in medical research and disease treatment and discuss the socio-cultural, and public policy implications associated with differing point of views.
Delve deeper with related exhibitions, programs, and films at the California African American Museum, California Science Center, and the Skirball Cultural Center.
About the California Science Center
The California Science Center's mission is as follows: "We aspire to stimulate curiosity and inspire science learning in everyone by creating fun, memorable experiences, because we value science as an indispensable tool for understanding our world, accessibility and inclusiveness, and enriching people's lives."

Earning Your Mississippi High School Diploma!
Many employers and postsecondary educational institutions require that prospective candidates hold a high school diploma or its equivalent. If an adult did not earn one through traditional means, the state of Mississippi offers adult education programs to help them achieve their goals.
Earning a High School Diploma in Mississippi
For those individuals who did not earn their diplomas in the normal school system, Mississippi offers adult basic education and the General Educational Development (GED) credential to help them catch up. These programs are offered through the Mississippi Community College Board (www.mccb.edu). Several community colleges also offer other adult learning programs, such as English as a second language (ESL) classes or life skills workshops that may help improve one's relationship with his or her employer, family or community.
State High School Graduation Requirements
Mississippi requires that regular high school students complete 24 credits in order to graduate from high school. This includes units in English, algebra, biology, history, geography, economics, health, physical education, computer and arts. Each school district may add additional requirements on top of these.
Adult Education
Adult learners may wish to enroll in independent study courses that can be taken online from home if their high school education was interrupted. Adults who are 18 years of age or older must submit any prior high school coursework or GED test scores before starting the program. Some of these programs only require students to complete 23 units to earn their diploma. However, the most common way for adults in Mississippi to pursue a high school education is by taking the GED test and earning a high school equivalency diploma.
General Educational Development Credential
The GED exam is a series of five tests and is accepted as the equivalent to a high school diploma at most colleges and training programs. Community colleges often offer GED preparation classes as part of their adult basic education program. Fees, eligibility requirements and testing schedules may vary, so contacting the closest community college is recommended.
Adult Basic Education
Adult basic education courses are also offered and usually cover topics in reading, writing and mathematics. Upon entering one of these programs, students typically must take the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) to determine their current skill levels in various subjects. This helps the community college determine what courses would be the most appropriate for each individual student.
