Urban-studies scholar Joel Kotkin points out that the nation needs manufacturing to balance the "ephemeral economy" of technology and information. This is where reindustrialization comes in.
Joel's new book, The New Class Conflict is now available.
Joel describes his new book, The New Class Conflict
Urban-studies scholar Joel Kotkin points out that the nation needs manufacturing to balance the "ephemeral economy" of technology and information. This is where reindustrialization comes in.
Joel recently talked with Jeffrey Angelo of WHO Radio in Des Moines about the findings in his new report discussing the best cities for minorities. Joel appears 30 minutes into the show (about 30%). Listen using the player below.
….by Joel Kotkin's Center for Opportunity Urbanism, measures (by median household income, self-employment, housing affordability and population growth) the best and worst cities for America's racial minorities. Its finding puts self-styled progressives to shame: Of the top 15 cities for African-Americans today, 13 are in the former Confederacy.
Joel Kotkin, an expert on global, economic, political and social trends, says cities such as Cleveland have growth potential that areas like the Silicon Valley don't have.
Kotkin argues that the term "Rust Belt," generally used to describe once thriving industrial areas in the Great Lakes states, are now too often characterized by economic decline, population loss and urban decay.
A different story needs to be told, he said.
Joel recently appeared on the Bloomberg Advantage radio show to discuss the California housing market and the implication of the growing divide between those who can afford to buy a house and those who cannot.

"Greenurbia is the suburbs of the future. The suburbs of the 1950s were bedroom communities for people who commuted into the city. Today, there's much more employment in the suburbs, and the big change is the number of people working full-time or part-time at home. Having people commute from one computer screen to another doesn't make sense."
Kotkin has a striking ability to envision how global forces will shape daily family life, and his conclusions can be thought-provoking as well as counterintuitive. It's amazing there isn't more public discussion about the enormous changes ahead, and reassuring to have this talented thinker on the case. — Jennifer Ludden, NPR national desk correspondent

Comments about Ahead Spinal G Drum Throne:
Superior comfort and performance. Back tense up during long practices or sets out? This seat is the solution. Super wide, soft and the 4 legs feel much more stable than a traditional 3 legged seat. For those seeking comfort, take it from a 225 pound man and go with ahead!

Comments about Ahead Spinal G Drum Throne:
This is definitely the Cadillac of thrones. I had been using the Chevy's and Fords until now.
I have been playing drums for 20 years. My style ranges from fusion to extreme metal and grind. I worked as a drum guy in a music store over 4 years, so I am familiar with most throne models. This is by far the most comfortable throne I've ever owned. Before this Ahead Spinal G, I've used Pearl roadster, DW, high-end Gibraltar, and Roc n Soc.
My favorite things about this throne:
The quad leg base. I love this. It's amazingly solid and has no "wobble." The threaded post is a lot like the roc n so design, but Ahead has designed the clamping mechanism much better, which resembles Roadster thrones with a hinged-style fastener.
The throne seat: it has a very firm feel to it, but it's not too firm. I usually play for 2 or so hours and am comfortable the entire time. The base of this is very solid and well made. The pad sits on a solid piece while the steel below supports it; excellent design. I really like that the wing nuts are slightly larger so you can really torque them down tightly. This throne encompasses all of the things I'm looking for.
The only con I can see is maybe some difficulty touring with it. It is very cumbersome and probably won't fit in standard hardware cases. But in my opinion, the comfort is worth it. If I could make any changes, I would prefer double stitching instead of single stitching where the top material is sewn to the side material.
It is a little spendy, but is competitive in price. You will certainly get what you pay for with this beast.
Just splurge a little on this Cadillac drum throne. Get rid of the Chevy or Ford.

The United States men's national team is in trouble. The team was already in a hole entering this week's World Cup qualifying slate due to a crushing 2-1 loss to Honduras in February - a result that leaves them last in their Hexagonal - but that could easily have been overcome with results against Costa Rica Friday night and against archrivals Mexico Tuesday night in Mexico City. But then came an explosive report by the Sporting News , where 11 players anonymously took shots at manager Jurgen Klinsmann, his staff, his methods (or lack thereof, in their opinion), and some of their teammates - most notably the German-American contingent like Jermaine Jones, a midfielder who is expected to start against Costa Rica. In a game that has been described by Klinsmann as a "must win" now mere hours away, how can a group of players trust one another? Ask any manager of a championship-winning team how they achieved their goal, and chemistry is bound to be one of the most cited factors. But ...

25 Ford Model-T Tow Truck - update: 05/11/13
Posted 11 November 2012 - 06:30 AM
Posted 11 November 2012 - 07:39 AM
Posted 11 November 2012 - 10:31 AM
Finally, here's some sideboards for the pickup bed. They consist of a basswood rail with 1/6" brass strips for support. The rivets are good old straight pins. The stain is the same as the bed floor; Minwax #211 Provincial. I had planned on clear coating the bed floor and these rails, but at this point that is still under consideration. The reason being, the clear coat can cause the wood to warp, so the question is do I want to deal with that possibility or settle for the current look. Still thinking about it...
Here's something else to consider, Alyn:
Factory stock Model Ts did not have exposed natural wood at all. The flooring and bed floors were painted black. If you're looking for an all-factory appearance, the floor of the bed (boards and the metal rub strips) would be black and the sideboards would be aftermarket pieces, most likely oak. Those could be treated to any number of finishes.
Whatever way you decide to go with the wood, it's gonna be a killer model because you are already off to a great start!
Posted 22 November 2012 - 06:49 PM
Bill, thanks for the tip, although more and more I'm thinking the wood looks good with just the stain and no clear.
Thanks for the added info Ken. Glad I didn't do the Canadian version. It would have been twice as difficult.
Stephen, the axle is wrapped with some mild steel wire the from floral department at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. It seems to me that wrapping round parts keeps them in alignment better than clamping.
And, thanks for the history lesson, Dan. I know I've read similar info somewhere, but the stained wood adds character, so this truck will be built in what I would call "parade style"; artistic license at the expense of accuracy. I've done a couple of pickup beds in basswood with a yellow stain, so this one ended up with the dark stain just to try something different. Not sure how I'll handle the wooden spokes on the wheels yet.
Here's a little more progress. The first rendition of the wrecker boom looked a little heavy, so I redid it in the next smaller size angle iron. The end was also curved to match one of my research pictures. Getting the angle to curve without buckling required 6 relief cuts on each piece. Then they were glued with a mixture of Ambroid and styrene shavings. I figured that would be stronger than just glue alone.
I sanded off the molded in instrument cluster on the dash and replaced that with a couple of holes for some gauge bezels. I think some decals will look better here than dry brushing the molded in gauge details. Sorry for the lousy focus on this one.
Here's the hood with the louvers opened up. It's not too tough to cut them open, but getting the cuts straight and even is another story. Hopefully the paint won't fill these back in.
Finally, here's a mock up of how it's progressing. This is exactly the look I wanted, so the motivational juices are starting to flow.
now, on to the top bows ...

The simplicity is refreshing.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 01:47 PM
Thanks,Bill. I grabbed about a dozen reference pics off the internet and liked features from several of them, so this will be a miss-mash of those elements. I've considered branding it a "Weaver", but that's still up in the air.
Glad you like the hinges, Jeff. I've done hinges in at least 4 completely different styles and have considered doing a tutorial showing each. I just haven't had the time to put something together.
Here's an update on the most recent work on the wrecker boom. I"ve added the winch drum and gears, plus some miscellaneous details. After the boom bracing, crank and pulley system is figured out, the wrecker boom will be done.

Joe, I cut off a small section of PVC with a hacksaw and then trued up the cut in my micro lathe. While in the lathe, the PVC deeply scored to set the width of the tire. I finished cutting through the PVC with a razor saw and then cleaned up the cut with sandpaper. The edges of the tire were then rounded over with sandpaper as well. To finish it up, black Plasticoat primer was used for color (the PVC is white).
I did get lucky with the size. The PVC fit perfectly around the center ridge of kit wheel. Because of the center ridge design, there is a gap on either side of the wheel than I plan on filling with an aluminum band.

Thanks a lot, Mike. I always appreciate you checking in.
Beautiful work on the axle and boom Alyn, and the rest looks equally good! You never cease to amaze me with the detail in your builds, you are gonna make this one actually run, right? LOL
Like all my models, this one is built to run, although I remove all internal moving parts and fill the engine block with Squadron putty as a theft deterrent.

Thanks, Bill, and Bill, and
Bill/Richard. I appreciate your interest and opinions.
Bill, the research photos I've gathered are almost evenly split between chain, cable and heavy rope. I agree with you though, that chain is likely the most accurate option. My decision was really based on whether or not I had enough small chain to provide the necessary wraps around the winch drum. Luckily, I had several feet, so chain it is.
Here's a shot of the end of the boom. A brass pin goes across the slot to support the pulley assembly. I added some small bosses on each side for added support.
I turned a pulley out of 1/4" aluminum rod. This is mounted in a brass yoke that is soldered to a brass ring. The brass pin in the previous picture supports the ring. This piece will require a fair amount of filing and shaping before it's ready for primer.
Here's the completed boom. Ive added the pulley & chain, boom supports and winch crank handle since the last update. The handle slides through the shaft and can be extended to provide added leverage for heavy loads. Bolts will be added to the holes in the base rails after paint.
The boom support rods bolt to a cross piece that can be adjusted via the 00-90 bolt and nut. By adjusting the nut, the boom can be raised or lowered roughly an inch (24" in scale) in the up or down direction.
And, here's the completed boom mocked up again in the truck bed, ready for primer and final clean up. The chain is temporary and will be replaced with the longer piece to allow several layers of wrap on the winch drum. Once I clean it up, a white metal tow hook will attach to the end of the chain.

THERE were very strong indications here, yesterday, that President Goodluck Jonathan may be the chief guest at this evening's Holy Ghost Service of the ongoing 60th annual convention of the Redeemed Christian Church of God at the Redemption Camp.
The convention which started on Monday with the ordination of more than 7,000 deacons and deaconesses continues today with the Holy Ghost service which always attracts people from every corner of the globe as it features diverse miraculous feats.
The theme of this year's convention is "Come up higher", and the event has been described as a year of double jubilee as this year marks the 60th anniversary of the church and the 70th anniversary of the General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye.
Nobody among the senior officials of the church was willing to confirm the rumours of the presidential visit, but the speculations were rife that the president may use the occasion of the double celebration in the church to ask Pastor Adeboye to further intercede for a nation that has been under siege of Islamic insurgents.
Some residents believe that fresh traffic arrangements being put in place were indications of a planned visit of a high profile individual, apart from an attempt to clear the expected congestion in the camp arising from a daily influx of people for the convention.
Distinguished personalities
Apart from the president, the Holy Ghost Service is expected to attract several dignitaries including governors, ministers, holidaying national legislators, legal luminaries, traditional rulers and many other distinguished personalities who will grace the occasion to receive the prayers of the man of God.
Pastor Adeboye has repeatedly said that this year's convention would remain indelible in the memory of the more than six million people expected at the annual spiritual fiesta as a number of the participants would return home with diverse miracles because jubilee is a year of release and restoration.
As a result of the heavy vehicular traffic expected at the Redemption Camp today an elder of the church told our reporter during the week that it has taken measures to reduce traffic on the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, saying that special anti-riot police men from neighbouring states are being deployed to complement efforts of FRSC men, members of the Nigeria Civil Defence Corps, NCDC and the church volunteers.
The church camp manager, Pastor A.F. Elufowoju told Vanguard: "We have made adequate arrangement with the Federal Road Safety Corps who will be complemented by a men of the anti-riot policemen from surrounding states in addition to other para-military personnel from the Nigerian Civil Defence Corps to control traffic on the road."
He, therefore advised motorists coming to the camp to park their cars inLagosand use the numerous RCCG buses strategically located inLagos,Ibadanand other cities, noting that they are free.
Sanitation conscious provinces
SANITATION is a very serious issue at the Redemption Camp as the General Overseer announces on a daily basis reports of sanitary inspectors who daily take care of affairs in the different hostels. As at Wednesday evening, Pastor Adeboye said Lagos Province 28 was leading the pack of the neatest provinces.
It was followed by Abia Provinces 1, 2 and 3 and Lagos Province 13. Among the dirtiest provinces are Kwara Province 2 and Kwara Province 1.
God intervenes in woman's fallopian tubes
ON Wednesday a young woman fromDeltaState, Mrs. Josephine Oghenetejiri, gave a stunning testimony of how God intervened in a hopeless situation. She narrated how doctors had written her off and said she could not have a baby because she had no fallopian tubes.
Fallopian tubes are the two long, thin tubes that connect to a woman's uterus (one on each side). The other ends of the tubes flare open with several long fringes, called fimbrae, on the end. After ovulation, these fimbrae beat back and forth to help guide the egg into the fallopian tube. Once inside the tube, tiny hairs called cilia push the egg along and toward the uterus. Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tube if the egg encounters a sperm.
Mrs. Oghenetejiri, who belongs to Delta Province 1, narrated how she had to resort to God for help and her pastor assured her that there is God who can replace any thing in her that had been said to be dead and after a short while she became pregnant.
She raised two bouncing babies who are the products of the pregnancy even when medically she was declared barren as it s impossible for her to be pregnant.
Adeboye admonishes corrupt Christians
THE General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Wednesday, came down very hard on corrupt Christians, warning that there was no way they can inherit the Kingdom of God unless they urgently changed their ways now.
He said: "Except you restitute your way that which you did is waiting for you in your future. If you think that what you have done, the evil you have done, the monies you have stolen, the things you got by wrong means because nobody saw you, is gone and gone for ever, think again! If you love yourself, before the end of this week, restitute your ways, because if you did anything and you think nobody knows, God knows. If there is something that is not yours but is in your possession, for you to enjoy this year of jubilee, you must restitute your ways."
Speaking on a topic entitled 'that I may know him', with inspiration from Philippians 3:7-11 and several biblical passages he described the sermon as stepping on dangerous grounds and, therefore, called on the congregation to pray for him, saying that Paul said 'I want to know Him.' "Knowledge is power and ignorance is destruction. The Word of God says my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. When Paul, who is an apostle, says he wants to know Jesus, where do you stand?" He pointed out that there are many aspects to the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ: there is the aspect of Him as the Saviour, there is the aspect of Him as the Healer and there is the aspect of Him as the Deliverer.
"What aspect of Him did Paul want to know? I think he is interested in the aspect of Jesus Christ as the Truth. He wanted to know more about the truth? So we will be talking about the truth here tonight, even though the truth can be bitter."
Adeboye said there are three levels of truths: The basic truth, secondary truth and a little bit of the higher truth. Basic truth, he said may be described as 'Nothing goes for nothing.' The Bible tells us clearly that salvation is free, but salvation is free only because someone pays for it. (1 John 1:7)
Divine healing is free; but someone paid the price. Nothing goes for nothing, that is the pure basic truth. It is possible never to be sick again, in the year of jubilee. You can receive your healing and never be sick again. It is possible to enjoy prosperity for the rest of your life, according to Deuteronomy 28:11-12.
Secondary truth, he maintains, are two powerful forces controlling life: one is called curse, the other is called blessing. They both determine what happen to a man. He said a curse as an invitation to all forces to work against someone, while blessing can be described as a summon to all forces to support somebody and make sure he succeeds. When somebody is blessed, every door he knocks opens.
"Higher level truth: The year jubilee is the year of release, it is the year of restitution but we want to hear about healing, power, prosperity but not restitution," Adeboye said adding "whatever you get that is not yours must be restored. Whatever you sow you shall reap. If you sow the wind you will reap the whirlwind.
"The year of jubilee does not mean when you sow you won't reap. It is only one way to avoid evil, that you have planted and that is if you go to where you plant it and uproot it. If you think that seed you sow is gone, then you don't even know the basic law of agriculture. That which you sow is waiting in the future unless you can restitute your way," he explained.
He continued with a story of what happened several years ago in a village while he was a teacher, saying "there was a man who is very though. When you are passing in front of his house you must be careful, and he had only one daughter.
"One day six boys raped his daughter till she fainted. When the strong man returned people told him what happened. They were waiting for him to act. He asked if his daughter was alive and they said the girl was alive. What will he do about it, he said; 'nothing.' He said he is only reaping what he sowed, adding that when he was young he raped a girl.
"Do you have any money you stole, or maneuvered; return it back otherwise it will destroy your good works. If you think because nobody sees you, the evil will be forgotten, you are deceiving yourself," he added.
"If there is something that is not yours that is in your possession, go and restitute to enjoy the year of jubilee. You took somebody's wife and brought it in your life when you get home read; Genesis 12:11-20.
"Many of us think that we can treat restitution as something trivial, it is not so. Read Malachy 3:3-10. The Almighty God is a merciful God, God is supreme and He will do what He said he would do provided you follow His principle," he stated.
He further explained that blessings can be reversed. "I can show you several people who got blessed and then they forgot God and the blessing became a curse. Come up higher!
Anyone who wants to rise must get rid of every weight. Sin is a weight, get rid of it and restitute," he said on a note of finality.

Yesterday the Supreme Court ruled in Harris v. Quinn that partial public employees can not be required to pay union dues even if they are receiving the benefits of collective bargaining.The decision was 5-4 with conservative Justice Samuel Alito writing for the majority.
Though it did not destroy public sector unions it could cripple them by threatening a key source of revenue. A non-full time public sector worker would be able to enjoy the benefits and protections gained by the union without ever having to pay for it.
Though many feared the ruling could have been worse.
The conservative majority on the Supreme Court on Monday signaled its distaste for state laws requiring public-sector workers to pay union dues — but stopped short of sweeping them away, handing organized labor a partial victory in a contentious case.
By a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled in Harris v. Quinn that home health care workers in Illinois cannot be compelled to financially support a union they don't wish to join. Illinois is one of 26 states that require public-sector workers — such as firefighters, police officers and teachers — to pay partial dues, often known as "agency fees," to the unions that negotiate their contracts and represent them in grievances, even if the employees find the union's advocacy work distasteful.
The attack on public sector unions has ramped up in recent years culminating in a major showdown in Wisconsin with Governor Scott Walker's attempt to end collective bargaining for public sector employees. Conservatives across the country have attempted to make public sector unions the villains for a stagnant economy that was initially brought to its knees by Wall Street. Many conservatives believe public sector unions are inherently corrupt.
With the Supreme Court damaging their revenue and conservative governors attacking their right to organize, public sector unions will have to struggle just to survive.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' Kirk Gibson on Trevor Cahill: 'We need him'
After a first half of the season defined by inconsistency, being designated for assignment and a stint in the minor leagues, Friday night signifies somewhat of a fresh start for Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Trevor Cahill.
The 26-year-old right-hander will be on the mound when the D-backs begin their post-All-Star break schedule against the Chicago Cubs at Chase Field.
The start will be the first for Cahill since April 13, when he was shelled for six earned runs in just four innings in an 8-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Following that performance, Cahill was exiled to the bullpen, where he posted a 3.04 ERA in 15 relief appearances before being designated for assignment.
Arizona manager Kirk Gibson thinks the timing is right for Cahill to get back into the big league rotation.
"Well, he's been up to 100 pitches (in the minors) and we feel that it's time to bring him back right now," Gibson told Burns and Gambo Thursday on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "His control has not been as good as it was before he left here. We're hoping that he commands the ball better.
"I think, a lot of the time, Trevor tries to make the ball move too much when he gets ahead in the counts or he starts to get in favorable situations, but that's one of the things he went down and worked on. But we're hoping he throws the ball well -- it worked last year when he came back. We need him to throw well for us when he comes back this year."
In his four starts for the D-backs this season, Cahill struggled mightily, giving up 18 earned runs in 17.2 innings of work. His record was 0-4 with a 9.17 ERA and he lasted past the fourth inning just once. In other words, the leash was a short one for the former All-Star.
Will it be short again upon his return?
"That's to be determined," Gibson said. "We're looking forward to him coming out (Friday) and throwing a good game for us and hopefully he can string some games together for us.
"We really need him. The staff needs him. He has the ability, he's proved it in the past. We just need to get him on-track."
In seven minor league appearances, Cahill posted a 2-3 record with a 4.45 ERA, striking out 31 and walking 20 in 30.1 innings. Fans at Chase Field may notice his delivery has changed since they last saw him.
"He's made some minor mechanical adjustments so I think the more he throws, the more he'll get built up," Gibson said. "There were some games, he threw good for the first three innings and then kind of lost it. He didn't have his endurance, he hadn't started in awhile. I think, just now, he's starting to get built up.
"Those little adjustments that he's made should become more of a second nature, he shouldn't have as many things on his mind. I think he should throw the ball better."

The Atomic Photographers Guild
I first clashed with fissioned atoms in 1979 at Three Mile Island while documenting the faces, places, and voices of America's worst nuclear accident. Then I went after nuclear weapons, first meeting the survivors of Hiroshima, then photographing the men and machines of the Bomb throughout the USA, Europe, Canada, and the former Soviet Union.
All along the way I met other image-makers bent, like myself, on capturing different facets of the world's nuclear arsenals. In 1987 we pooled our energies and images to contribute towards revealing the Big Picture of a nearly invisible entity in its own mostly unseen universe.
Members of the Atomic Photographers Guild aim to capture the heft, grit and impact of the nuclear age — an age that has altered the course of human history but exists so covertly that most people think of the Bomb as an abstraction. The Guild works to release its images in books, on walls, and over the web so others can piece together the fragments of what could be our darkest, most enduring legacy.

HUAWEI Technologies Tanzania Limited has donated five computers and 10,000 US dollars (about 16m/-) to Mkanyageni Primary School in Pemba, as part of the firm's initiative to boost information technology in the country.
"The initiative called Huawei ICT Star programme is aimed at fostering development of Information C o m m u n i c a t i o n Technology (ICT) and build up skills in Tanzania," said the firm's Tanzania Channel Director, Mr Moses Hella, at the handing over ceremony in Pemba over the weekend.
He said the company wanted to see to it that Mkanyageni Primary School pupils were learning ICT skills and improve the school's learning environment. "ICT is an enabler of technology innovation, driving social and economic development and creating value for individual and society as a whole," the director.
"By enabling pupils acquire ICT skills, we will be creating a society that is technologically advanced. A society that can survive in this world faced by a lot of technological challenges due to globalisation. "ICT skills will enable pupils easily access information through internet connection that can help them in their studies and therefore improve their academic performance and ultimately change their lives completely," he said.
Mr Hella added that in the future, a number of schools will be selected and Huawei will assist them according to their needs, adding that the candidates for the programme are selected after sending their application to Huawei offices. The Minister for Communication, Science and Technology, Professor Makame Mbarawa, said.
Huawei's support came at the right time when the government is putting much effort in imparting the information and communication technology skills to primary and secondary schools' students. He said that the Huawei's ICT Star programme is a stepping stone to Tanzania's technological advancement in the global world as more students will be imparted with the skills hence having more ICT's experts in the country.
He also urged Mkanyageni Primary School administration to take care of five computers donated by HUAWEI and use the money donated to projects that will see the school's performance improve.
Earlier, the Mkanyageni Primary School Head teacher, Mr Ramadhani Ngwali, applauded HUAWEI's support and said that the donation will help in improving the school's learning environment and performance and also urged other companies to emulate HUAWEI's example. "We are very grateful for the support and we promise to take care of the computers in a way that they will help many students to acquire ICT skills once their studies are over," Ngwali said.

"You Are Needed To Bring #Justice4Cecily." - Occupy Wall Street
Posted 1 year ago on April 6, 2014, 9:12 p.m. EST by OccupyWallSt
Tags: solidarity, #Justice4Cecily
Monday Update
Manhattan, NY- Cecily McMillan, accompanied by approximately 50 supporters, was back in court today for pre-trial motions. Judge Zweibel upheld his previous decision on motion 50-4(a), denying access again to Officer Grantley Bovell's personnel files, on the grounds that this previous history of excessive force and corruption are not relevant to the case at hand. The DA argued that none of these cases were substantiated due to the recommendation from the internal affairs bureau, an arm of the NYPD.
Many supporters showed up to court this morning, wearing a pink hand over their right breast, signifying solidarity with Cecily, who was sexually assaulted in this exact manner by Officer Bovell the night of M17. Judge Zweibel ordered that these signs of solidarity would be forbidden in the court room, as the claim of sexual assault is unsubstantiated since Cecily never reported this incident to the IAB directly.
Jury selection was postponed due to a supposed lack of potential jurists in the building. It will begin tomorrow morning,Tuesday April 8th at 9:30am at 100 Centre St Room 116 Part 41.
Press Contacts: Stan Williams 256-323-1109 Lauren Wilfong 413-207-4207 Marty Stolar 917-225-4596
Our dear friends, Cecily McMillan is going to trial and we need all y'all occupiers to show up and support!
You are needed to come out full force and show the court system that we stand with our friends and that we will bring #Justice4Cecily.
In an unbelievable turn of events, Ms. McMillan faces 2nd degree assault charges stemming from a 2012 encounter with the NYPD that left her beaten and unconscious.
Join us at 9:15 am at 100 Centre Street, Room 1116 Part 41, New York, NY 10013 In the best interests of her trial, everyone who comes needs to wear proper business casual clothing and remain calm and respectful in the courtroom.
There will be breakfast and hot tea in the morning on Monday outside the courthouse for supporters!
Oh, and did you know?
"Officer Grantley Bovell has been accused of running a motorcyclist off the road to make an arrest, kicking a suspect in the face while he was on the ground, and slamming an arrestee's face into the stairs on an MTA bus. Bovell was also one of the 500 officers ensnared in the vast ticket-fixing scandal in the Bronx, and was again internally disciplined for his role." - Cop's Record Of Excessive Force Allegations Will Be Sealed For OWS Trial, Gothamist
Do this: "Tell everyone you know about Officer Bovell's history of abuse." Tweet it. Sing it. Facebook it. Bring it on a sign. Let's get the truth out there.
Done. Now, you are needed—RSVP here:
The best thing that you can do is come to the courthouse to bear witness to the egregious treatment of Cecily by the "justice" system, and to let them know that we won't stand for it. The trial starts tomorrow and will likely continue for the next week or two. Court starts at 9:30 am each day, except for Thursday, when our judge will be unavailable, at 100 Centre St, Part 41 (room 1116). Please wear business casual as our appearance can affect the jury!
We aren't entirely sure how quickly or slowly things will move, but here's a tentative schedule of events - we'll update as we can:
April 7th - Jury Selection
April 8th - Opening Arguments
April 9th - Prosecution Case
April 11th - Defence Case
April 14th - Closing Arguments
April 15th - Jury Deliberation
Members of the Justice For Cecily Support Team will be around to answer any questions. Stay tuned into http://justiceforcecily.com/

100 of the Oldest Living Screen Stars of Note
Updated on 06/13/2014
With the recent back-to-back departures of Peter O'Toole and Joan Fontaine I've been really bummed about losing great artists from Hollywood's Golden Age. The Golden Age is roughly considered to be from Hollywood's 1930s through the 1950s. I still hadn't recovered from the loss of Eleanor Parker, an underappreciated actress I had honestly planned a retrospective of but never got around to.
One morning in my movie grief I inadvertently killed dozens of people off on twitter by claiming there were only six stars of the Golden Age still living. So consider this list my penance. In the past I've published a semi-annual list of all living Oscar-vets in any capacity. It was never meant to be a morbid countdown list but a way for us to honor people while they're still theoretically conscious of our appreciation for their indelible contributions. So though I normally publish such a list on Ms. Luise Rainer's birthday and it normally includes all crafts, I thought I'd publish an actor specific list that is NOT about Oscar... so send out telepathic waves of appreciation to these talents. Rent one of their movies this month!
DISCLAIMER: Not all screen actors who are old enough for this list are represented. We had to stop somewhere lest the list become a full time job.
01 Luise Rainer (1/12/10)
She is 104 going on 105 ♫... that doesn't have a great ring to it but The Sound of Music is such an earworm and Hollywood did like to pretend she was Austrian nicknaming her "The Viennese Teardrop" (she was actually German but that wouldn't do in late 30s Hollywood). Oscar's first back-to-back Acting winner for The Great Ziegfeld (1936) and The Good Earth (1937) was recently name-checked not so flatteringly in Hitchcock (2011) but she can handle it. The outspoken actress was very vocal about what she thought of Hollywood, her unsatisfying films, and "The Oscar Curse" which she doesn't believe in. Other key works: Not really. Her acting career was short-lived.
02 Lupita Tovar (7/27/1910)
Appeared in the Spanish Dracula (1931), mother to Oscar nominee Susan Kohner and grandmother to the Weitz brothers who are now directors in Hollywood
03 Mary Carlisle (2/3/1914)
B movie actress of the 1930s in films like Baby Face Morgan
04 Norman Lloyd (11/08/14) Actor and producer.
05 Eli Wallach (12/7/1915)
This beloved character actor and recent Honorary Oscar recipient, played "Mr Freeze" on the Batman TV series. He's most famous for frequent television apperances and for his role as "Tuco" in The Good The Bad and The Ugly (1966). In terms of contemporary film, he popped up in Oscar favorite Mystic River (2003) and his most recent acting gig was in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010). Other Key Works: He was busiest from the late 50s through early 60s stretching from Baby Doll (1956 - Golden Globe Nomination) to The Magnificent Seven (1960) and on throughThe Misfits (1961) and Moon Spinners (1964).
06 Olivia de Havilland (7/1/1916)
The oldest truly enduring movie star on this list had won Best Actress twice by the time she was 33 for To Each His Own (1946) and The Heiress (1949). Olivia's legend was cemented years earlier than either of her Oscar wins, though, with her first nomination as the kind-hearted "Melanie" in the immortal Gone With the Wind (1939). She is the one of the only four remaining living actors with speaking roles from that historic film. The Snake Pit (1948) and Hold Back the Dawn (1941) also won her Oscar attention. Other Key Works: Maid Marian in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), My Cousin Rachel (1952), and Light in the Piazza (1962).
100+ more wonderful talents after the jump
07 Kirk Douglas (12/9/1916)
Spartacus himself and father to two time Oscar winner Michael Douglas. He was nominated for Best Actor three times for Champion, Lust For Life and the Hollywood on Hollywood heavily Oscared The Bad and the Beautiful which he is just incredible in. He finally won an Honorary Oscar and his irascibly energetic public appearances including onstage shenanigans with Melissa Leo (discussed here) even after debilitating strokes have kept his name in lights for younger audiences, too.
08 Zsa Zsa Gabor (2/6/17)
This Hungarian immigrant socialite who married multiple rich husbands and starred in movies and television, would have been even more famous today in the 24/7 media cycle. Zsa Zsa, who co-starred in Moulin Rouge (1952) is best remembered for her extravagant life and 9 husbands -- more than Liz Taylor -- rather than her film roles but she's the only Gabor sister who remains with us.
09 Danielle Darrieux (5/1/17)
This French legend's filmography spans her debut in the 30s (Le Bal) through the 00s with smaller roles like voice work for Persepolis. Her biggest splash in recent times was as the grand-matriarch in François Ozon's musical Sirkian homage 8 Women (2002) but her peak came in the 1950s when she was courted by Hollywood while starring in French classics like The Earrings of Madame de... (1953) and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1955)
10 Marsha Hunt (10/17/17) The Human Comedy, Raw Deal
11 Movita (12/4/17) Exotic beauty from Mutiny on the Bounty. Later married Marlon Brando!
12 Baby Peggy (10/26/18) (Silent) child star of infinite short films
13 Michèle Morgan (2/29/20) another classic French movie star - they're long lasting there and they treat their actresses right with roles for decades and decades
14 Setsuko Hara (6/17/20)
Yasujirô Ozu's muse and one of Japan's most respected actresses. Films include classics like Tokyo Story and Late Spring. She is referred to as "The Eternal Virgin" possibly because she often played devoted daughters and in offscreen life she never married, retiring from acting upon the death of Mr. Ozu.
15 Maureen O'Hara (8/17/20)
We keep asking why everyone's favorite maternal Irish redhead beauty (this side of Greer Garson) doesn't have an Honorary Oscar. The Academy won't listen though we honestly couldn't tell you why but for their histor reluctance to honor women. (The gender gap in Honorary Oscars is insane). You try watching Miracle on 34th Street, Black Swan, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Parent Trap and the five films she made for director John Ford back to back and you'll be just as angry that she doesn't have a golden statue.
16 Nanette Fabray (10/27/20) Emmy winner, TV star of Caesar's Hour fame, film musicals, and SAG lifetime achievement recipients
17 Carol Channing (1/31/21)
This Broadway legend was essentially too large for movie screens but she did manage one Oscar nomination for her hilariously out-there work as "Muzzy" in the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie (1967). You have to see this performance to believe it. My favorite part of the movie is her "Jazz Baby" solo. Another must-see for Carol fans is the documentary Carol Channing: Larger Than Life which I had the pleasure of seeing at the Tribeca Film Festival a couple of years ago with a very frail Carol in attendance. She spoke briefly to the crowd afterwards, telling us stories that she'd just shared in the movie... I considered it a happy Double Feature. Despite the brushes with television and film fame "Razzzzberries!" her claim on history is her Broadway legend, a lifetime of Hello Dolly! on stage and originating the Marilyn Monroe part in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
18 Abe Vigoda (2/24/21) Emmy nominated TV star of Barney Miller fame. Also appeared in the Godfather films
19 Louis Jourdan (6/19/21)
The suave and often villainous (onscreen) Frenchmen is probably best remembered for today's middle aged movie fans from Octopussy (simply because the Bond films, even the bad ones, endure) and Swamp Thing. Other less low rent and more prestigious credits include Letter From an Unknown Woman, The Best of Everything and the Best Picture winning musical Gigi. He retired 20 years ago.
20 Betty White (1/17/22)
Actress. Golden Girl. Ham...
At this point she's practically "People's Choice" for favorite ubiquitous old lady. Overexposed she may be but when she goes that's the last of The Golden Girls which will be hella depressing. That seminal show is not her only classic. She also co-starred in The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
21 Carl Reiner (3/20/22)
Actor, writer, producer and comedy legend. Frequently seen on sitcoms and father to director Rob Reiner.
22 Barbara Hale (4/18/22) Airport and numerous Perry Mason movies
23 Christopher Lee (5/27/22)
Some actors have second acts in their career. Some get three. With Christopher Lee I've lost track. Who can count that high! This 91 year-old one time Hammer Horror era Dracula is still a favorite for genre-fans everywhere from his recent roles in Lord of the Rings and Hugo and more...
24 Lizabeth Scott (9/29/22) Noir beauty
25 Valentina Cortese (1/1/23)
This Italian Day for Night (1973) actress holds the extremely rare honor of a supporting acting nomination from a foreign language film. Those are about as infrequent as it gets. Other key films include in an early version of Les Misérables (1948) in which she played both Fantine AND Cosette -- take that Anne Hathaway!, The Glass Mountain (1949), The House on Telegraph Hill (1951), The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988), and The Barefoot Contessa (1954)
26 Rhonda Fleming (08/10/23) the Technicolor beauty appeared in classics like Hitchcock's Spellbound, The Spiral Staircase and Gunfight at the OK Corral
27 Rose Marie (8/15/23) TV star The Dick Van Dyke Show, My Sister Eileen, The Doris Day Show, and more...
28 Richard Attenborough (9/29/23)
He's actually "Lord Attenborough" now. I always think of him as a director (Oscar winner for Gandhi but he just wrecked A Chorus Line in movie form) but in truth he acted very frequently, and here's a neat trivia note: he won back to back Golden Globes for Supporting Actor for The Sand Pebbles and Doctor Dolittle and Oscar snubbed him both times without a nomination. How rare is that! Today's audiences know him best as the short-sighted impresario behind Jurassic Park (1993)
29 Glynis Johns (10/5/23)
Every time I think of this 90 year old delight I start singing "♫ Well done, Sister Sufragrette ♪" but she actually wasn't Oscar nominated for her distracted politically-minded mother in Mary Poppins. Her only nomination came for a a terrific turn as the lusty bar owner "Mrs Firth" in The Sundowners (1960). Sister Sufragette is but a ripple in her blissful pond of movie roles. Two early roles as mermaids in Miranda (1948) and Mad About Men (1954) and her swashbuckling love interest in The Court Jester (1956) have devoted followings, too. Awesome performances for modern audiences include The Ref (1994) - so memorable as the irritable stingy matriach - and While You Were Sleeping (1995) though she is now, sadly, retired. Little discussed factoid: Stephen Sondheim wrote "Send in the Clowns" specifically for her voice during the development of the stage musical A Little Night Music. It went on to become his biggest hit.
30 Donald Sinden (10/9/23)
Largely a TV and stage actor he appeared in studio films like Mogambo in the 1950s
31 Coleen Gray (10/23/22)
Red River, The Killing and more
32 Machiko Kyô (3/25/24)
Star of the all time classic Rashomon (1950) and other Japanese films
33 Doris Day (4/3/24)
The movie musical / romantic comedy legend received only one Best Actress nomination (for Pillow Talk, 1959) and hasn't worked in forever but her fans are still among the most dedicated of any stars. Everyone grouses that she doesn't have an Honorary Oscar and many argue that it's only because she's totally withdrawn herself from Hollywood and probably wouldn't show to receive it. Have you heard her recent NPR interview? Other Key Works: Calamity Jane, The Pajama Game, The Man Who Knew Too Much, That Touch of Mink and many other hits.
34 Theodore Bikel (5/2/24) Supporting Actor of many classics including My Fair Lady and The African Queen
35 Priscilla Pointer (5/18/24) Mother of Amy Irving, frequent TV actress and also appeared in films like Carrie, Nickelodeon and Blue Velvet
36 Eva Marie Saint (7/4/24), who is 89, won Best Supporting Actress for On the Waterfront (1954). That glove scene surely cinched it. Her last film role was as Superman's mom in Superman Returns (2006) before Diane Lane had a crack at it but she's back in front of cameras now for A Winter's Tale with an all star cast. Other Key Works: Exodus and Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest. There are quite a few Hitchcock heroines on this list. He may have tormented his leading ladies but they survive.
37 Lauren Bacall (9/16/24) this 1940s screen siren, paired with Humphrey Bogart onscreen and off, recently received an honorary Oscar (we curse AMPAS producers for removing these from the broadcast!) and was nominated for her whole career under the guise of The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996). Now 89 this tough actress is still working. Her best contemporary roles were both in icy fantastic Nicole Kidman pictures (Dogville and Birth). Other Key Works: Key Largo, To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Murder on the Orient Express and How to Marry a Millionaire (recently discussed).

W. Eugene Smith | A Photographer You Should Know
Image copyright W. Eugene Smith
William Eugene Smith was a photojournalist who is known for his humanistic approach. His most famous images come from his brutal coverage of World War II.
Smith began his career shooting for two local newspapers in Wichita, Kansas. He then moved to New York City and began to work for Newsweek. He was known as a difficult perfectionist, but also for his high ideals. He was fired from Newsweek for refusing to use a medium format camera. He then joined Life Magazine in 1939 which used 35mm cameras.
While at Life Magazine, Smith entered World War II and shot photos from the front lines. He was there as the US Marines fought Japan. He shot many photo essays for Life between 1947 and 1954.
Smith was unhappy with the editorial control Life took over some of his image. He left and joined the Magnum photo agency in 1955. He proceeded to work on special projects covering the city of Pittsburgh and Jazz musicians. You can see his portfolio here.
Late in his life he documented Minamata disease, which affected many where he lived. The disease was caused by a factory discharging heavy metals into water sources around Minamata, Japan. He was attacked by employees of the company as he tried to document the disease. The attack caused him to lose sight in one eye. His wife took up his work and together they completed a photo essay that detailed the effects of the disease.
Many consider Smith the master (and likely originator) of the photo essay. His work lives on through the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund which has awarded photographers for exceptional accomplishments in the field.

Gaborone — Three Bushman children have been arrested by paramilitary police in Botswana. The arrests are the latest signs of a new government policy to intimidate Bushmen who have returned to the Central Kalahari Game Reserve (CKGR).
The children were jailed last week for being in possession of antelope meat in the CKGR. All have since been released, but further reports of harassment and intimidation have surfaced, and there have been a growing number of Bushmen arrests.
On Wednesday, January 09, wildlife scouts beat up and confiscated fruit and berries from one Bushman, Amogelang Segootsane, telling him the food is 'for animals, not humans!' He was later treated in a local hospital.
One Bushman told Survival International, 'The Bushmen are being hunted and their rights are being denied because of tourism. Police are given guns to go out and hunt and arrest Bushmen gathering bush food. The Bushmen of the CKGR cannot eat, cannot drink. How will they survive without food?'
The tribe relies on hunting game and gathering fruit and berries to feed their families. In 2006, the High Court confirmed the Bushmen's right to live and hunt on their ancestral land in the CKGR, but not a single hunting license has been issued since.
They now risk starvation, or will be forced to rely on government handouts only available in the resettlement camps outside the reserve which they call 'places of death'.
In November, two Bushmen were arrested and tortured for killing an antelope, and were fined US$190 each. Another four men await trial this week for hunting in the reserve.
The Botswana government has repeatedly targeted the CKGR's indigenous inhabitants, often citing wildlife conservation as its motive. Yet the Bushmen have survived for centuries alongside Botswana's game.
Survival's Director Stephen Corry said January 15, 'Conservation has long been the excuse used to terrorize the Bushmen into leaving their desert home and it is no coincidence that President Ian Khama is on the board of one of the world's largest conservation organizations, Conservation International.
The American NGO obviously knows its board member's atrocious human rights record. Does Khama really believe that a few hundred Bushmen endanger the welfare of the CKGR (an area twice the size of Rwanda) more than a diamond mine? Who knows? The only certainty in this case is Survival's determination to do whatever it takes to back the Bushmen. Boycotts, protests, demonstrations, or supporting a court case: we will rule out none of these if this increase in harassment does not end now.'

u.s.s. enterprise

the command centre of the enterprise d
Primary operational control for Galaxy Class Starships is provided by the Main Bridge located at the top of the primary hull. It is located on Deck 1. The Main Bridge directly supervises all primary mission operations (with the exception of the Flight bay and assorted craft) and coordinates all departmental activities.
The Main Bridge is an ejectable module, allowing for a wider variety in mission parameters. The standard module on all Galaxy Class Starships is the second standard version.
The current standard Galaxy Class layout is as follows. In the center is Command area with three common seats, for the Captain, the Executive Officer to his right, and the Counselor to his left. Further out from these are two more seats that can be used by VIP or other non-stationed personnel.
At the front of the bridge is the Conn, starboard, and Operations, port, stations. Conn is the combination of Helm and Navigation, and Operations controls and monitors most vital ship functions. Operations is commonly in control of sensors aboard Galaxy Class starships.
the tactical station on the bridge
Behind the Command area is the Tactical Rim. Here is the Primary and two Auxiliary Tactical stations. All tactical and security functions can be controlled and monitored from this point.
On the back wall from port to starboard are Engineering, Environment, Mission Operations, Science I, and Science II. These five stations are normally unmanned. The Chief Engineer is in Main Engineering, Environment & Mission Operations can be controlled at the Operations console, and Science I & Science II are the science department's presence on the Bridge. However, normally the Chief Science Officer [if the ship has one] is not a Bridge Officer. The position is a management and authority one, meant to control all the sub-departments which do their work in the various labs on board the ship. It is not uncommon however for some Chief Science Officers to conduct their business directly on the Bridge.
helm and ops stations
There are three turbolifts leading off the bridge; one is an emergency turbolift that leads directly to the Battle Bridge. There are also three rooms adjacent to the Bridge. The Captain's Ready Room is on the fore port of the Bridge. The Conference Room and Bridge Head is aft starboard.
note: hover over red squares for information
At times of an emergency or a battle this turbolift directly transports the senior crew to the battle bridge before the saucer seperation initiates
Designed for use by a single crew member, the entire helm station consists of two main sections; the fawn colured ribber chair with headrest, and the slide-away touch sensitive console situated within easy reach directly infront. As a typical duty rotation takes eight hours, the chair is designed for comfort over this time, enabling the navigator to be at their station at all times
On most Starfleet ships, the captain's chair is in the very centre of the bridge, facing towards the main viewscreen
The observation lounge is the perfect meeting place for the senior bridge crew. Located behind the bridge for quick access, it is used for conferences and presentations
The combined security and tactical station is one of the largest stations on the Enterprise's bridge. It holds a central position immediately behind the captain on a raised level so that the security/tactical officer can communicate swiftly and easily with the commanding officer. One of the duty officer's most important tasks is to provide tactical advice during dangerous situations
The raised area of the bridge houses numerous science stations. Duty officers operate these consoles from a standing position
The main bridge of Galaxy class starships of the 2360's provides seating and information displays for three people. The Central seat is for the captainwhile the other two seats are used by the first officer and the ship's counsellor. Together these three officers determine the running of the ship and how to carry out mission directives
The ops station is a stand alone station at the front of the bridge. The chair can swivel 180 degrees to so that the officer can face either the captains chair or the main viewer. The top of the console swivels to allow the officer to reach the chair
Even the captain of a Galaxy Class starship needs a place to relax. This is provided by the captain's ready room located just off the main bridge

Wildfire continues to grow within containment line
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- The Slide Fire burning in and around Oak Creek Canyon in northern Arizona continues to grow in size even though firefighters have established a containment line around all of it.
The fire's size increased from 28.9 square miles Monday evening to 31.7 square miles Tuesday morning due to burnout operations intended to deprive the fire of fuel.
The fire's official containment figure remains at 35 percent because some areas within the containment line still have active low-intensity fire while others remain hot to the touch.
The number of firefighters and other personnel assigned to the fire is now below 1,100, down from more than 1,200.
Fire management spokeswoman Jan Bardwell says some crews are being reassigned because there's less work to do.
The human-caused fire started May 20.

In your patents column on 9 May (This Week, p 9) you state that UNION, a committee of 700 European industrial property lawyers, "wants the European Patent Office to rule that a computer program cannot be patented because it is already protected by copyright".
I attended the UNION Round Table on Patenting of Computer Software in Munich on 9/10 December at the EPO and I have seen the press release provided by UNION. It states: "The EPO was requested to update its Examination Guidelines and to consider defining the term `computer programs as such' in a new implementing Rule as `source and/or object code of the computer program' which is not sought to be patented and which is anyway protected by copyright.
What UNION really wanted was to urge the EPO to clarify the current practice and to make it clear that patents can be and are granted by ...

Whoops! Rare crane hangs with sandhills on Southside
On Nov. 4, a surprising call from Amelia Amaya told me she had seen a whooping crane feeding among the large sandhill crane flock that winters on adjoining property at the end of Wooldridge Road.
Of course I said, "I'll be right out." But in my mind I thought, " I doubt it."
Patty Beasley, who files a hawk watch report on TEXBIRDS and who also keeps us updated on the whooping crane flock, had received a similar call on Friday afternoon.
After seeing the bird, she contacted Tom Stehn, U.S. whooping crane coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, to report it.
In her conversation with Stehn, he told her that based on its physical description, lack of any leg bands and its behavior, it appeared to be a sexually immature whooper, somewhere between 2 and 4 years old. He said this may have been the same crane sighted last year at Bayside, a rural community across Copano Bay from Rockport.
With the second-day sighting, an official entry will be made of it in the U.S. records in Stehn's office. The crane was not seen the following day when the wind was very high. Neither was the flock of sandhills. Both were there again on Sunday.
Sandhill cranes are among my favorite birds. They are tall and slender. Adults are gray with buffy white cheeks and chins, and with a bare patch of red skin on their foreheads. One of their most interesting traits is the conversation they carry on among themselves.
How do they sound? Oberholser in his book, "The Bird Life of Texas," describes it as "The rolling call of the sandhill, uttered from both land and air, a sonorous, somewhat rattling, 'gur-ooo-roooo.'" Multiplied by hundreds of voices of a flock of birds, it is a sound both exciting and soothing.
Amaya has fed corn to a pair, then also their chick, then the whole flock, for several years. Listening to them conversing as they fed last week, she looked out her kitchen window and was amazed to see, landing among them, a taller, white bird, maybe a whooping crane?
She called me.
Whooping cranes are the tallest North American bird, standing 5 feet or taller. Adults are white with dark face and lower jaw. The crown is marked with bare, reddish skin, and black wing tips show in flight. (The red is difficult to see in this bird.)
They are an endangered species of which the only flock flies 2,600 miles every fall from Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada where they breed to Aransas National Wildlife Refuge north of Rockport where they winter.
The flock has built back from the 1930s when, down to 12 birds they were almost extinct, to 217 birds.
Still in no way safe.
The Amaya family consisting of three sisters, Amelia, Tilda and Mary Alice, has lived in the house for many years.
They have done all the planting. Dogs and cats, some theirs, others not, sleep on the doorstep. I asked if they were birders. Of course the answer, no matter what they said, was yes.
They feed cardinals, doves and whatever comes to eat. They have had kiskadees. When I went to look at the whooper, a pair of caracaras sat on a high wire post. A northern harrier worked the field beyond the cranes. Amelia told me that she could hang clothes on the line without frightening the flock of cranes.
The rural atmosphere is fast fading, though, as development fills in the spaces.
The whooper seems to realize it is not quite like the others in the group. It spooks easily and will fly at any hint of trouble.
If you try to see it, remember that the cranes are on private property.
The people are very birder tolerant, but be considerate.
Phyllis Yochem, a Corpus Christi resident, has studied birds in Texas since 1960.
