Quote: Flint resident Veronica West, 49, said she attended the rally in support of Flynn and his principles. A founder of the North Flint Reinvestment Corp., Flint has been an outspoken advocate for more economic development on the north end of the city.
"They're closing down schools in black neighborhoods and beautifying other places," she said. "We're losing jobs in the poorest areas of the city."
Why all this race talk? If you look at the population of Flint Community Schools you would see a majority of the students are African American. The Flint Board of Education which is almost 100% African American makes the decisions on what schools to close. So are they racist? Let's talk about facts that direct where money is invested and what schools are closed. To say it's all about race is simply not true.
Racism? I don't fully support Public Act 4 but to say it's because the powers at be in Lansing are all a bunch of racists is ludicrous.
He was one of the Good Guys in Flint, always doing what he could to help others. I had the pleasure of knowing him and was able to see first hand his passion for this area and business. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
Any of the options that Leyland mentioned will prove to be terrible. The Tigers need FIELDER!
Geez, I think the Tigers haven't done sh*t this year! I say they should go after Prince Fielder and move Miggy to Third base.
The Tigers need to sign Prince Fielder, move Miguel to 3rd base!
The Detroit Tigers almost made it to the World Series, so that tells me then need to get better rather than stay the same. What are they thinkin in Detroit?
Violation of the fourth amendment!
US Constitution...Learn it, Live it and DEFEND IT!!!!!
The Flint Journal did error on the reporting of the Historic District Commissions next meeting which will be Friday August 12, 2011. 5pm at Flint City Hall 1101 S. Saginaw St. Flint Mi 48502. It's an open meeting, everyone is welcome to attend.
The City of Flint still must bring an application to the local Flint historic district commission for a notice to proceed to demolish any property in a historic district per city ordinance 2707. The City of Flint violated the City of Flint ordiance 2707 and did this illegally. Anyone can go to the City of Flint's web site www.CityofFlint.com and click on the right side of the front page where it says "Ordinances" and it explains the process and procedures. As a historic district commssioner I feel we need to have the rules apply to all people fairly.
(a) It shall be the duty of the Commission to review all plans for new construction, addition, alteration, demolition, moving of district resources in an historic district, and it shall have the power to pass upon such plans before a permit for such activity can be granted. The Commission may authorize the building official to review certain types of plans involving alteration, addition or repair of district resources in a historic district and to grant permits before review by the Commission.
How true!! Mr. Walling promised CHANGE and all we got was short changed.
We all can agree we like Dawn Jones as a person but we surely don't need a communications Director at this time. We need public safety.
The people of Flint are fed up with Walling & Co. He promised CHANGE and all we got was short changed. Promises made and Promises broken. His administration ranks one of the worst in the city of Flint's history.
Also known as: Greenie Weenie or Green Czar
We need BIG change to turn around Michigan. Rick is doing it.
Ryan Eashoo
Really? This is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Michigan is in such bad shape that we need to do everything we can to turn it around. Tough cuts are needed.
Ryan Eashoo
Congrats to Kid Rock, may he keep on Rockin!
Great event and great cause! Keep up the good work!
Congrats on your hard work paying off! We need you to now open one in Downtown Flint or Historic Carriage Town!
From what the patrol desk told me The reporter/cops received an okay from the administration. I love Flint but this is the truth. My neighbors have called 911 and most of the times the cops don't show up. It's not the cops fault that we don't have enough people on the street and they can't respond to every call.

Updated: 8/19/2014 10:10 am
Eden Prairie, MN (SportsNetwork.com) - The Minnesota Vikings and Chris Kluwe have reached a settlement that will prevent the former punter from suing the team over his release.
Terms of the resolution were not disclosed.
Kluwe had accused the Vikings of cutting him in May of 2013 because of his vocal support of marriage equality and gay rights.
"As a family we have long-supported equal rights causes, including marriage equality," said Vikings owner/president Mark Wilf in a statement Tuesday. "We are glad a resolution of this matter has been reached, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to create positive awareness of these issues."
The Vikings, as part of the settlement, have agreed to provide continued financial support for human rights and anti-hate causes. The team will also continue to enhance its sensitivity training policy and will help raise awareness in professional sports about LGBT issues.
"I'm pleased that the issue has been resolved," Kluwe said in a statement. "I intend to continue to speak out on behalf of marriage equality, and I am pleased to be a part of the impact the Vikings material charitable contributions will have on LGBT and related causes."
Kluwe, who got no money in the settlement, claimed in a January article published by Deadspin that special teams coordinator Mike Priefer made an anti-gay comment in a team setting. The Vikings suspended Priefer for three games in July after the team completed an investigation.
"We appreciate Chris Kluwe's contributions to the Minnesota Vikings as a player and a member of this organization during his eight seasons in which he established many team records as our punter, and we wish him and his family the best in the future," Vikings owner/chairman Zygi Wilf said in a statement. "In regards to this matter, our focus remains on maintaining a culture of tolerance, inclusion and respect, and creating the best workplace environment for our players, coaches and staff."
Kluwe averaged 44.4 yards per punt over his eight seasons with the Vikings. He was released by the Oakland Raiders prior to last season and has not played since.

SOMERS, N.Y. – The number of new custom houses built in Somers annually has remained at a consistent six or seven for some time, reported Somers Building Inspector Efrem Citarella.
"The Mews at Baldwin Place was a big project last year," he continued, "and of course the new St. Joseph's Church is a big project." The Mews is an affordable-housing project on Route 6. St. Joseph's is adjacent to Kennedy Catholic High School and will replace the small St. Joseph's Church in Croton Falls.
"The Boniello Development group has been busy, building two new homes on Country Hollow and one on Pines Bridge Road," Citarella continued. There are two individual owners in the Mayflower area and another one at Meadow Ridge off Windsor Road. "They're all custom-built homes, though. Nobody is building spec houses right now."
The new houses average about 4,000 square feet in size, with four bedrooms. "You can't pay $350,000 for property and then put a little ranch house on it," Citarella said.
"Permits for alterations, renovations and small additions have been pretty steady," he added. "In fact, I've had some alterations that are well over $200,000 or $300,000. When people buy a home, they usually like to put in new kitchens and new bathrooms.
"I've gotten a lot of requests for plumbing permits and a lot for propane tanks for generators. Because of last year's storms, a lot of people are adding them."
Last year's October snowstorm, coming just weeks after the power outages caused by Hurricane Irene, left about a third of the town without electricity.

South Portland's Eberle reluctant, but ready, to leave Maine Legislature
SOUTH PORTLAND — Rep. Jane Eberle, D-South Portland, said she knows it is time to move on from politics.
Just don't expect her to fade away as her last term representing House District 123 concludes.
"I'm not walking away from this gracefully," Eberle said. "I've cleaned out my desk, but that didn't happen until a couple of weeks ago."
Maine term limits laws barred Eberle from seeking a fifth consecutive term in the district comprised of the center of South Portland and the northwest portion of Cape Elizabeth. So she did the next best thing by helping Democrat Scott Hamann defeat Republican Kenneth Myrick and independent Roger Bishop for the seat.
"It was the first time in four election cycles I haven't had a clear direction of what to do," said Eberle, who first won election in 2004.
Maine term limits laws require a two-year hiatus from seeking the same seat, but not all political options were closed to Eberle.
Last spring it was apparent the Maine Senate District 7 seat comprised of South Portland, Cape Elizabeth and the eastern portion of Scarborough would be open as incumbent Democrat Cynthia Dill decided to seek her party's nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Sen. Olympia Snowe.
Eberle said she considered running for the seat when former Maine Sen. Larry Bliss, D-South Portland, resigned in April 2011, but had not wanted to break away from the legislative session in order to run. Dill eventually won a special election to replace Bliss, defeating Republican Louis Maietta Jr.
When it came time to consider a run this year, with Dill focused on the U.S. Senate, Eberle said "the re-engagement and energy needed for a (state) Senate campaign seemed more than I wanted to do."
Now Eberle, who directs business partnerships for the South Portland School Department, said she does not plan to run again for a legislative or local office.
"I've loved what I've done," she said. "It was time to move on."
Eight years ago, Eberle said she was recruited to run for the seat by Bliss and former Maine House Speaker Glenn Cummings, D-Portland. The idea was not an easy sell, because Eberle's political experience was limited to speaking about education issues at occasional committee hearings and serving as an election ward clerk.
"I came with a set of questions as to why I could not or should not do it," she recalled. "But that is typical in Maine, you never consider yourself a candidate. Then someone talks to you and you realize you could and should be one."
Eberle said she came to treasure the personal contact with constituents, even those too young to vote. While serving, she developed a program for fourth-graders in the city and Cape Elizabeth to learn directly about government through a classroom visit and field trips to the Statehouse.
The trips culminated with mock legislative sessions, where students debated issues and voted on bills.
"The Statehouse is a beautiful place and I love to show it to its owners, but also to show you have to do this work," she said.
Her last legislative session found Eberle serving in the minority party for the first time, a less enjoyable experience for her.
"My last term was personally very difficult because a lot of things I cared about and have worked for were under attack. Being in the minority ... you have to be reactive," she said.
Over the years, Eberle was assigned to the Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee, giving her a deeper appreciation for Maine's natural resources and a chance to work with legislators from rural areas.
"I really do think I worked outside of a strictly party partisan structure," Eberle said.
Eberle said Hamann is ready to make the seat his own, and will be better at using the digital world to stay in touch with constituents. He will also learn serving takes a lot of effort.
"You can't articulate how much you have to work to get something done," she said. "There is so much care and nurturing you have to do, it doesn't start and stop with getting paperwork filed."
"I won't miss when a debate turns to bitterness," Eberle continued. "I learned you can't take things personally, that when people are upset with something the Legislature did, they will vent. You have to view the whole process, if it turns out in your favor or not in your favor, you have to deal with it."

Where is Saban? He's certainly not a winner. Loser, to Newton, Auburn and their coach.
Seems them boys down south riding around on that turnip truck are doing OK against the Tide. What is it now? Eight and three over the last eleven years.
When he puts up the wins like Spurrier did I Florida, then he can make smart butt remarks. Until then, I believe I would cherish the fact that I was picked to follow in the shoes of someone who made Florida football the competitor it is today.
Ain't it wonderful!
Bama is going to play uninspired football in there bowl according to Phil Fumblingbaum.
Auburn, the so called turnip truck riders from south Alabama is playing for it all.
I guess when you are eight and three against the Tide in the last eleven years, it might tell something about who the real big boy in the state happens to be.
Love it.
Ray, apparently you aren't familar with the Kentucky Plan. Last year we won six regular season games, against six teams without winning records, three of the 'buy' variety and our athletic director and head coach were quoted as "tickled to death' when leaving the field at Knoxville after another loss. Thank goodness Vandy is there to save us from annually becoming the worst team in the eastern division. The Cats are 4-2 against them Vandy under Brooks and 1-23 against the other teams in their division.
Any mention of firing Brooks and going after another coach? No Way! They have promoted the offensive coordinator to 'coach in waiting'. The same offensive coordinator who had the 106th place offense in tthe nation last year. (out of 119).
See, other may get anxious to do better but we're on the baby step plan. The 2009 bumper sticker at Lexington should be 'NO EXPECTATIONS, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS'.
We don't take football serious, as you may have noticed. Ain't going to and therefore six wins are just fine with us. Buy three and pray for Louisville to stay lousy and hope two conference teams, usually Vandy and Mississippi State, get us to another balmy day in Tennessee for a bowl. Can it get any better than that? I don't think so.
I love the guy! I only wish he had chosen to coach at Kentucky sometime. At least it would have been exciting. Someone probably had to wake Brooks up at the his floor.
Keep it up Coach Steve!
Sory about the double post. But being a Cat fan and seeing what the future holds, well, I was drunk on the Blue Koolaid.
This is the year of the CAT!
Yes sir, the Kentucky team is going to be the surprise team of the conference. Don't let that last place finish in the East fool ya. We've already got our three 'buy wins'. Then there's Louisville. That makes four wins right there. Shouldn't be any problems with Auburn, Tennessee or Miss State. All three have new coaches and new systems to learn. There's seven wins locked up. Steve is getting worst every year at South Carolina so this is the year we take them down. Eight and counting. Vandy can't beat any body two years in a row. So there's nine. Doesn't Florida and Alabama have to play in Lexington? Could it happen? Georgia always struggles with us. Unbelievable! We should win at least nine and maybe another one or two.
We are the only program in the conference who believe the best approach to the game is
That takes all the pressure off the coaches and we love going to balmy Tennessee in December. We like being in the conference just not competing with the big boys.
So get ready. This is the year.
Pass the Blue Koolaid, How's I do Mitch?
Kentucky is a sleeping giant. Doesn't everyone know that? Last year they were setting up this season. Don't let last place in the East fool ya, We already have our three 'buy wins' and Louisville. That's four wins right there. Then there's Auburn, Tennessee and Miss State, all with new coaches and new systems. That makes seven. Steve is doing worse every year at South Carolina so that should be eight. Vandy can't be for real. That's nine. Florida and Alabama at Lexington so we'll call them toss ups. And Ol' Georgia, didn't we beat them a few years ago?
So all you SECers. take heart. We got the only coach in the league who has no pressure to win and the coach in waiting, well, he directed the 111th offense in the country last year.
The motto at Lexington is 'NOTHING EXPECTED, NO DISAPPOINTMENTS'.
Yes sir this is the year to fear the CATS!
Pass the blue koolaid, Mitch. How'd I do?

1. Dig the Past
Ten Bits Ranch
If the past two million years were condensed into a single day, Ten Bits Ranch would be buzzing with seaside dinosaur stampedes, tectonic uplifting, volcanic eruptions just over the hill, and early peoples' hunting-and-gathering to a fare-thee-well. Evidence of this hoopla is not exactly hidden, but it does take a canny guide to decode it, like archaeologist Steve Wick, who owns the ranch with his wife, Jennifer. My three-hour tour of their spread, which also boasts swell off-the-grid overnight accommodations masquerading as a tiny Western town, began with a short but steep hike to prime real estate circa 2000 BC to AD 1500: a south-facing cliff, peppered with shallow caves and protective overhangs, which offered farsighted vistas and cooling breezes. Once I knew what to look for, proof of ancient enterprise was everywhere—chipped flint, bedrock mortars ground deep into the Santa Elena limestone, indications of fire (and maybe even a smokehouse), and rock polished slick as snot by thousands of footsteps and behinds. For the next part of the tour, we drove a short distance to what Wick proudly calls his backyard. What initially looked to me like acres of boring gravel mounds turned out to be hard-packed clay striped with a layer of the Cretaceous Aguja Formation, 75-million-year-old sediment Wick refers to as "swamp stuff." And who lived, died, and fossilized in this ancient swamp? Dinosaurs. Lots and lots of dinosaurs. Wick has unearthed the remains of duck-billed hadrosaurs, sideneck turtles, and rhino-esque chasmosaurs. Some of which he ships off to the University of Texas at Austin and a few he displays in a glass case in the Ten Bits dining hall, including teeth from a Gorgosaurus (T. rex's slightly smaller precursor) and the bony armor of a Deinosuchus riograndensis, a forty-foot-long crocodile who probably munched on those tyrannosaurs. From Alpine, go south on Texas Highway 118 for approximately 65 miles, then head west on North County Road for 2.3 miles (866-371-3110 or tenbitsranch.com). Guided hikes $35 per person; cabins start at $159 (two-night minimum).
The Davis Mountains, where birders have found paradise in the desert.
2. Wing It
Davis Mountains Preserve
My struggle to describe my day spent traipsing around this Nature Conservancy preserve in three hundred words or less drove me, in desperation, to imperfect haiku:
Sky Island floating
In the sea of Chihuahua
Thirty-three thousand acres
But after eight more stanzas, my fingertips numb from miscounting syllables, I still couldn't do the place justice. How, for instance, can I explain that "sky island," despite its lyricism, isn't poetry but instead a scientific designation for a mountain range surrounded by desert? In Texas, we're talking the Chisos and Davis mountains, and like many a classic island, they harbor unique critters and plants; the Livermore sandwort and fringed paintbrush are found only in the Davis Mountains. In 1997 the Nature Conservancy began the preservation of a hunk of the island, which is lorded over by 8,378-foot Mount Livermore, by purchasing a portion of the historic U Up U Down Ranch. This secured, among other things, a bit of birder heaven. I spied acorn and ladder-backed woodpeckers, a black-headed grosbeak, a white-breasted nuthatch, and—yes, I'm bragging—a buff-breasted flycatcher. (Okay, so John Karges, a biologist with the Nature Conservancy who can bird by ear, had to point them out to me, but they're still going on my life list.) I also saw a sheltered stand of aspens, their daintiness belying their Ice Age roots; jungles of Mexican dwarf oaks, madrones, and huge pines, including one whose fire-scarred trunk bore the claw marks of a honey-seeking black bear; and the kinds of forever views that could drive a gal to permanently spew poetry. October 5–7: Open weekend (includes car camping, hiking, backpacking, and horseback riding); free but reservations recommended. Take Texas Highway 17 south to the Y at Fort Davis and turn north on Texas Highway 118 (432-426-2390 or nature.org).
3. Take the Back Road
Lone Star Mine
When can statistics make me swoon? When they tally the surprising diversity of the Big Bend region: 168 varieties of butterflies, 120 types of yellow flowers, 78 species of mammals, and 31 distinct lizards. The source of this fount of figures was Kevin Sexton, a Texas master naturalist at Far Flung Outdoor Center, who led me and two couples on a half-day Jeep tour north of Lajitas to the peak of Tres Cuevas Mountain, which rises straight up more than one thousand feet from the desert floor (a fact made real during the gravity-defying ascent). Of course, there were show-and-tell moments aplenty about the Lone Star mercury-mining operation that dug in here in the forties, like how the miners earned 75 cents to $1.25 a day for an eleven-hour shift. And while the view from the top of Tres Cuevas, which takes in a sideways slice of Santa Elena Canyon, the undulating Solitario, and nearly every other rock star in the region, was stunning, the botanical trivia stole the show. The desert, it seems, is really a well-barbed pharmacy. Feeling run-down? Steep the leaves of a bush known as Mormon tea for a low-level ephedra pick-me-up. The resin of the creosote bush is antifungal and anti-inflammatory, and it contains antioxidants. But should you get too cozy with the prickly plants, especially the thorn-throwing pitaya, Sexton recommends a quick on-and-off application of a modern invention: duct tape. Far Flung Outdoor Center: in Terlingua on FM 170, about half a mile west of Texas Highway

A New StartMonday, March 10 2008
Theresa tries to reason with her guard, Ethan has news for Gwen, Sheridan catches Pretty with the controller, and Fancy and Noah try to explain themselves.
Theresa is on the phone in the morgue telling Pilar she's alive, but the connection is bad and Pilar can't hear her. While Theresa thinks she's getting through to Pilar and tells her what's happened, the guard comes back. He tells her she is putting herself in more danger and grabs the phone from her. Theresa says that Pilar will be sending Ethan to get her, but he informs her that they disabled the line so all Pilar could hear was static. Theresa is crestfallen and demands to know why she's being kept there. He tells her they are protecting her and her family from Juanita. Theresa tries to appeal to his sensitive side by asking if he knows what her children are going through. He isn't affected, so Theresa then tries to bribe him by saying she can make it so he never has to worry about money again if he lets her talk to her family and go home. The man turns her down and reminds Theresa that if she goes back to see her family, Juanita will track them down and they will all die. Theresa thinks her death may have made news and Juanita could know where her family is anyway, but the man assures her that Mr. Crane kept her death out of the papers. Theresa wants to know when they will catch Juanita so she can stop playing dead. He responds that there's a good chance they will never capture Juanita and she will have to stay dead forever.
Ethan is in Theresa's room and Gwen returns with some champagne. Gwen wants to toast to them, but Ethan suggests they toast to a new start. Gwen feels their problems are behind them and they can now start a new life with Jonathan. Ethan reminds her, "and Jane." They decide they should find a new place to live and while Gwen rattles on about where they should look, Ethan fantasizes about Theresa. Gwen realizes he's not listening to her and wonders to herself when he will put Theresa behind him and focus on her. When Gwen brings up being a family again, Ethan says he needs to talk to her about something.
Little Ethan runs into the room yelling for Ethan. Little Ethan had a dream that his mother was lost somewhere in a creepy building and tried to get back to them, but a bad man wouldn't let her out. Ethan consoles him and Little E asks if the hurt of losing his mom will ever go away. Ethan says he doesn't know if it will ever stop hurting, but they have to give it some time. He says she will always be alive in their hearts and hugs Little E while Gwen rolls her eyes and takes a drink of champagne. Ethan takes Little E back to bed and tells Gwen they can finish their conversation when he gets back. Gwen panics, wondering what he wants to talk to her about.
Ethan returns and tells Gwen he wants to adopt Little Ethan. Gwen is stunned by his declaration and wonders why. Ethan just says he wants to do it and Gwen thinks by bringing Little E into their family it will be like Theresa is always looking over her shoulder. She points out that Little E has a family with the Lopez-Fitzgeralds and wonders how they are supposed to adopt him. Ethan says he will go to Pilar and if she agrees, he will work it out with Julian and then adopt the boy right away. Gwen isn't happy with the plan thinking it will forever keep her in competition with Theresa, but Ethan says he wants to adopt Little E right away. Pilar enters and overhears. She says she can't think of a better idea and hugs him. She says of course he can adopt Little E because it's like he's his real father already and gives Gwen an evil look. Ethan thanks her and says it's the first happy moment he's had since he returned from Mexico, much to Gwen's dismay. Gwen says they should ask Little E how he feels about the idea because he might not even approve and he might resent her. Pilar says of course he will like the idea and Ethan thinks he will grow to love her. Ethan tells Pilar that he will make Little E the happiest boy in Harmony and takes off to start the adoption process.
After Ethan leaves, Pilar calls Gwen a murderer and then says that justice triumphs. Gwen doesn't want to hear it, but Pilar tells her that from now on she will be reminded through Little E that she was responsible for Theresa's death. She goes on to say that Little E will keep Theresa alive in Ethan's heart and she can't think of a better way for Gwen to pay for what she's done. Gwen threatens to send Little E to boarding school, but Pilar retorts that she will make it a condition of the adoption that Little E be raised by his family in Harmony, therefore, Gwen will be reminded everyday that she killed his mother. Ethan returns and says he called a friend who specializes in adoption and they will be able to adopt Little E almost immediately. Ethan says he wants Pilar to be a big part of Little E's life and she says she wants that too. Ethan tells Gwen that Little E will be a part of their lives forever.
At the cottage, Sheridan hopes Luis takes her up on her offer to stop by. She plans a seduction for him complete with his favorite chocolates, champagne and a sexy outfit. While Sheridan impatiently waits for Luis, she wonders how far Pretty will go to sink her hooks into him. She thinks she should go find Luis and bring him back because he could be with Fancy or Pretty right now. She calls him, but only gets his voicemail. Sheridan calls Pilar and asks if she knows where Luis is. Pilar tells her he's probably down by the wharf with Paloma. Sheridan gets out of bed to go find her man.
On the docks, Paloma and Luis confront Noah and Fancy while Pretty sneaks around gloating. Pretty fidgets with the controller trying to figure out how to make it so Luis never wants to be with Fancy again. Noah and Fancy try to explain that they don't know why they keep getting caught together and tell Luis and Paloma that they love them. Paloma and Luis say they don't know if they can trust them and Pretty takes the opportunity to crank up the device in Fancy's head. Pretty wants to make Fancy kill Paloma so she will go to jail. Sheridan walks up and sees Pretty turn the button on the controller. Fancy picks up an oar, which Pretty wants her to repeatedly hit Paloma over the head with, thereby killing her. Fancy walks up behind Noah, Luis and Paloma with the oar, but before Pretty can make Fancy do anything else, Sheridan comes up to Pretty and grabs the controller out of her hand. Sheridan demands to know what it is and Pretty tells her all about the device in Fancy's head and how she can control Fancy's every move. Sheridan says that explains everything, but is appalled. The women fight over possession of the controller and Pretty points out that if Fancy doesn't kill Paloma, neither one of them will have a chance with Luis. Pretty tells Sheridan that if she wants Luis for herself, she will give the controller back.
Next on Passions
Pretty tells Sheridan that killing Paloma is a small price to pay to get Luis back.
Luis, Noah and Paloma look down at Fancy and Luis asks what's wrong with her.

The University of Louisville is home to one of the most storied athletics program in the nation. The Cardinals boast nine national championships, 59 team conference titles in men's and women's sports and hundreds of All-Americans.
The success of U of L's teams contribute to a sense of pride in the community and across the state. The very mention of the "Cardinals" evokes a sense of history, tradition and championships. Nationwide, U of L is synonymous with winning.
The University of Louisville is a state supported research university located in Kentucky's largest metropolitan area. It was a municipally supported public institution for many decades prior to joining the university system in 1970. The University has three campuses. The 274-acre Belknap Campus is three miles from downtown Louisville and houses seven of the university's 12 colleges and schools. The Health Sciences Center is situated in downtown Louisville's medical complex and houses the university's health related programs and the University of Louisville Hospital. On the 230-acre Shelby Campus located in eastern Jefferson County are the National Crime Prevention Institute and the Information Technology Resource Center.
Louisville - Home of the Cardinals
Named for King Louis XVI of France in appreciation for his assistance during the Revolutionary War, Louisville was founded by George Rogers Clark in 1778. While its initial growth was slow, the advent of the steamboat in the early 1800s sparked booming industrial development, and by 1830 Louisville had secured its place as the largest city in Kentucky.
During the Civil War, Louisville was an important Union base of operations and a major military supply center. In the postwar era, the city emerged even more prosperous than before, with merchant princes and manufacturers shaping the new economy. Owing to its strategic location at the Falls of the Ohio, Louisville was a major commercial center. River transportation was supplemented by the construction of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, which was chartered in 1850 and operated more than 1,800 miles of line in the state by 1920. Joseph E. Seagram and Sons opened the world's largest distillery in Louisville following the repeal of prohibition. Thanks to companies such as Dupont, the city became the world's largest producer of synthetic rubber during World War II.
Louisville was also a city of firsts. In the reform-minded progressive era of the 1880's the city was the first in the nation to introduce the secret ballot, significantly reducing vote fraud. It was the first city in Kentucky to adopt zoning and planning measures to control and shape urban growth. Home to the first bridge designed exclusively for motor vehicles to cross the Ohio River, Louisville was also the birthplace of Mary Millicent Miller, the first woman in the United States to receive a steamboat master's license.
The city has been home to a number of men and women who changed the face of American history. President Zachary Taylor was reared in surrounding Jefferson County, and two U.S. Supreme Court Justices, including Louis D. Brandeis, the first Jewish Justice, were from the city proper. John James Audubon was a local shopkeeper in the early years of his career, drawing birds in his spare time. Second Lt. F. Scott Fitzgerald, stationed at Camp Zachary Taylor during World War I, was frequently presence at the bar in the famous Seelbach Hotel, immortalized in the novel The Great Gatsby. Muhammad Ali, perhaps the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time, was born in Louisville and won six Golden Glove tournaments in Kentucky.

I have a older horse, 17 years old appy, 16.2 HH. My husband came home today and mentioned she was acting very weird when it was time to go back outside after dinner. (she would not leave her stall at first and then kept stopping and showing her teeth and bucking, this is not her normal behavior- there was no other horse around). She is not in heat, I did check tonight. My horses are all out 24/7 except twice a day for feeding and when I work with them. So I went back out tonight to check on her.
I know lately she has been acting very stiff and sore in the back end but tonight she seemed to be really bothered. Her one leg is straight like a normal horse leg but the other leg is curved inward meeting the other leg. She had some heat coming out of her hind legs and the one appeared slightly swollen.
I do know the vet said two months ago she had fluid in her back hocks. Her feet were just trimmed last Friday.
I am thinking about calling in a equine massage therapist for her and maybe the vet back out. I do have her on joint supplements. I had requested starting tonight to keep her indoors (going down into the 30's tonight) and out during the day only. I am wondering if the cold is bothering her at all??
She loves attention and loves grooming but even tonight she did not want it, she just seemed completly off. I know horses have their days but we are both worried about her.
Anyone with older horses have any suggestions? She is my oldest horse. After her I have a 9 year old, 2 6 yr olds and a 2 yr old.
My oldest daughter even noticed she was walking off tonight...

A basic understanding of the principles of good design (such as contrast, unity, and balance) is the foundation for creating beautiful websites. In this course, Sue Jenkins explains design aesthetics in simple terms, and shows how to incorporate the principles of design in specific ways that improve your site. Learn how to adjust adjacent colors to add contrast, create depth with texture, incorporate movement, and use repeating shapes, patterns, and borders to unify your design. Then, in the final chapter, learn about special issues designers should address in their web layouts, such as responsive design for mobile devices, accessibility, and originality.
The seventh of the eight elements of design is line. In design, line can be used in a variety of ways. Not only can you use line to define and enhance the shapes within your layout, but you can also use line to set boundaries between objects within a page. In the world of art and design, line refers to any actual or implied mark, path, mass, or edge, which defines position and/or direction within a design. Lines can be created with a pen, pencil, brush, crayon or any other mark making tool, including digital tools that you will find in programs like Photoshop and Illustrator.
Lines can be created in nearly any shape or size, for instance they can be thick, they could be thin, long, short, smooth, rough, hard-edged, soft, curvy, straight, solid, dashed and dotted. Lines can be formed by the edge where two shapes meet, like on this web design, where the dark rectangle shape defines the header and separates the header from the area below. But lines need not be straight. You can use a shared edge to create some definition within your design.
So for instance ,like this the curved edge acts like a pocket or a flap. You could also use and undulating line, so let's take a look at that. Like a wave shape, or even a sloping line like this, and each type of line creates a completely unique feel. Like this one evokes water, which kind of goes along with the name of the company, Perch Design Studio. In all these instances, the edge creates the illusion of line. Lines can also be created by implication.
So, for instance, we're showing line with just a cutout shape on the edge of those ribbons. Lines can also create areas of emphasis, especially when they visually point to a focal area. So, for instance, I can add double lines on either side of little fish icon that sort of point and bring your focus to that space. You can also use lines as borders with strokes and even drop shadows. So for instance for the logo, I can add a circle behind it with a stroke effect, or a solid with or without a drop shadow.
So maybe just the stroke with the drop shadow. Lines can also imply movement by their inherent directionality. So, for instance, I can have a little white box with a stroke around it. That's another form of line, but I could add a diagonal shape, which gives it a sense of movement or space, maybe a little reflection. And that line that cuts across that creates those two-color shapes, gives it a sense of space. Lines can also lead your eye across the page from left to right, which is how we read in the West, but you could go in any direction, really.
So I've added three columns here at the bottom, like so, and using lines as dividers to separate each of the three areas. In web design, lines are often used to set boundaries and organize information. Here's a site, lowdi.com, that uses line really effectively in several different ways. Here's lines, created with color and shape. They're used to define the space. In the navigation, you've got lines used to organize and create a sense of unity.
There's also lines used for emphasis, like underlined headers up here. And then you have areas using line to separate bits of information and space. So let me scroll down to show you what I see here. So the navigation appears at the top, and these shapes are creating a line that guides your eye from one section to the next. It has a nice flowing sensibility, with a really interesting use of line, like these horizontal lines here or vertical divider there.
Nice, clean, simple, open way of dividing the space. However, and how frequently you use line in your web designs, think about the directions that they flow in. Use your lines to define spaces that should be considered as separate visual elements. Consider the implications of your lines. Use them thoughtfully to communicate a sense of order and organization with your target audience. Where you place your lines can really help create these natural boundaries that enable viewers to quickly identify key areas within your design.

The following is a guest post from Mariah Huehner:
Mariah Huehner has been a comic book editor for over 10 years. She has recently co-written the NYTimes bestselling True Blood: All Together Now comics and Angel. She really likes squidly octopi.
San Diego Comic Con is rapidly approaching, and amidst the stress of figuring out my flight, hotel, booth duty, and what the hell I'm going to wear so I don't feel uncomfortable but also don't look crappy for 4 days…I'm thinking about two incidents that happened at my first SDCC (which is about 5 years ago now, maybe even 6) that have forever colored the way I view it and every other convention I attend, and likely will attend, for the foreseeable future.
In short: during the 2nd night, at the Hyatt, I experienced two separate physically and sexually threatening situations. The first was a groping that I was too shocked to register until the next day. The other was being cornered, touched, and made uncomfortable by two drunk men.
Both left me feeling shaken, upset, and like I had done something wrong. I kept thinking: how did I get in that situation? What did I do to provoke it? What mistakes had I made? How did I allow this to happen? Why didn't I make a huge scene? Basically, I immediately started blaming myself for being a woman who did not prevent someone else from making me an object. Something that I had absolutely no control over, did not deserve, and yet still feel responsible for in some way, to this day.
First, the groping. I was standing with a group of fellow professionals I had worked with for years. Most of them I knew quite well, one not very well. They were all drinking, I was not. I suddenly felt a hand trail down my back and cup my right…er…posterior. My stomach immediately flip flopped and I turned to the guy, shocked. He was talking to someone else and then stumbled away. He did not look at me once. I said nothing, because I had already started telling myself it hadn't really happened, I must have imagined it, who does that, no way.
The second happened about an hour later. I had drifted away from the group I had been talking to, to write an idea down in my sketchbook. I was against one of the large windows. There were many groups of people around, as there usually are. I did not notice the two men until they were towering over me. I was stuck and felt very small and uncomfortable. I looked around to see if anyone I knew was close by, but they weren't, and in any case, couldn't see me because these two men had neatly blocked me from view. I didn't know them at all and, the clearest thought I can remember when I realized I was cornered, is that I wished I was wearing my boots. I had left them at home because they're a pain to deal with at the airport. I was wearing flats after a day of standing on my feet, and I suddenly felt about two feet tall (I'm actually a little over five feet tall). They started asking me what I was so intent about, why was I so serious, what was I doing at SDCC, was I a friend of someone there. I said, no, I'm an editor. This was a mistake as they were then curious about why a girl worked in comics. They moved closer. I backed up, but there wasn't anywhere to go. I could tell they had been drinking, likely a lot, and for some reason I felt compelled to be…nice. I was scared to be mean or just get away, afraid they'd get mad or rough. I felt like I was stuck to the sidewalk. One of them men reached out and touched the front of my jacket, telling me I looked like a Tim Burton character. He tried to run his hand down the stripes and that's when I unfroze. All I could think of to do, because for whatever reason I just couldn't yell, I said…oh, I see some people I know, bye. And I quickly moved away. I had to squeeze myself against the window and duck. I practically ran to open the door and went up to my hotel room where I proceeded to have a very hard time sleeping.
My mind raced. I had every cliche thought you can think of. Had I been wearing something "wrong"? Not unless you think being covered from neck to ankles in baggy black, with a striped jacket is "revealing". Had I somehow suggested I wanted attention? Not unless being shy and a little freaked out at my first SDCC indicates that. Had I acted inappropriately? Other than a bit awestruck and not drinking (which might be considered weird at a convention), no. Had I, in short, done something to deserve what happened?
Although I am rationally aware I did not, and that you can't "deserve" being objectified in any case…emotionally, I was convinced I had done something wrong. Namely: that I had moved away from people for a brief moment, thereby allowing myself to be in an unpleasant situation. I had not been vigilant. I had not been "smart". The groping I felt less responsible for, because it had just…happened. And I was sort of convincing myself it hadn't, like somehow someone's hand would trail down your back and cup your ass by accident. I just couldn't process it. And it didn't occur to me at the time that experiencing both in one night was perhaps a lot to deal with and that I was having a panic attack. I felt sick, I remember that.
The rest of the convention I didn't really go out at night. I avoided the bar. I was at my industry's largest event, with all kinds of people I admired right downstairs…and I was scared to leave my room. I felt wrong, that's the only way I can describe it. I spent the rest of the convention nervous, on edge, and not because of how big it is or the fact that it was the first time I'd been there. That was overwhelming enough. I had wanted to be this strong, independent professional…and instead I felt like a groped, disrespected, thing.
In the years since, I haven't had a single experience like it at SDCC or any other convention. And yet, it colors the way I view every nighttime event. I don't always have the option to go to something with a group, and professionally, going to the bars or hotels to interact with creators and publishers is important. It keeps you visible, lets people get to know you a bit in a more casual setting, and can lead to opportunities. And it can also be cool to run into the various other people who go to cons, you never know who you might get to chat with. It's supposed to be, you know, fun.
But for me, it rarely is. I can't not think about what happened that night. I still blame myself, if I'm being really honest. It's a big reason why I don't drink, although it's not the only one. I might have a beer I'll nurse all night, but that's it. There are plenty of reasons that's not a bad thing, and I don't wish I could get smashed. But I do wish I didn't have to spend every second being vigilant and on guard. That I didn't have to feel scared, way down, most of the time.
Women tend to get criticized for bringing up scenarios like this, because most people want to believe we did do something to "make" it happen. And I'm sure someone reading this will think, well, you SHOULD have been more vigilant. Honestly, it's exhausting. And no one can keep that up 24/7. Then there are the people who will say it was either complimentary, or I took it too seriously, or they were drunk so what did I expect? Well, I'll tell you what I didn't expect. To have my personal space invaded, to be touched without permission. No one should be assuming, no matter how drunk they are, that other people's bodies are a free for all. The fact that they did shows a profound lack of respect for me personally, and women in general. It's not a compliment, I can tell you that. As for taking it to seriously…no. Other people don't get to define what is threatening to me, and cornering a young woman in the dark is, by definition, threatening. Every man on the planet should know better.

Amber W.
During our first trip together, my fiancé and I went to the beach. We had both just gotten out of long relationships when we started to spend time together. Our beach trip was our way of deciding if we were ready to make the jump to become more than friends. The trip was like a sign. On our way to the hotel, we saw the most brilliant shooting star that I had ever seen, and it left a huge trail of stardust before it simmered away into the dark night. As we walked down to the beach the next day, we found an amazing shark's tooth like the kind you buy at stores. The weather was perfect and everything seemed to bring good luck.
Exactly two years later, my fiancé and I again took a trip to the beach. We were walking hand in hand on the beach, with the sun shining and the waves crashing onto the shore. It was quiet and calm except for a couple of dogs and their owners playing. There was nothing around except for the seagulls resting on the beach. It was only us and a seemingly infinite stretch of sand. I remember saying how beautiful the weather was when my fiancé paused and look at me very intently. I intuitively knew something was going on. He pulled a box out of his sweatshirt and asked, "Will you marry me? " With a smile beaming on my face, I wrapped my arms around him exclaiming, "Yes, of course! " And mere minutes later, it seemed that nature gave its consent: we found a lot of shark's teeth just like the first time we were walking on the beach.

The debate over terrorism suspects on Thursday divided Democrats, with Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin, D-Mich., squaring off over the language with Senate Judiciary Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., Senate Intelligence Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill.
Democratic opponents of the provisions, who offered a series of amendments to strike or water down the language, appear to face an uphill effort to find the votes to amend the detainee language as almost all Republicans and most Armed Services Committee Democrats support it.
By moving ahead with the bill without a deal—the White House threatened to veto the bill earlier Thursday—Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., reduced the leverage and ability of opponents to force changes. Feinstein said she isn't confident the bill can be amended, saying only that she strongly opposes the provisions. She declined to comment on Reid's decision to press ahead with the bill but several Democratic aides said his move caught Democratic opponents of the provision by surprise. The aides said Reid told Democrats he is eager to move ahead with the bill in the face of pressure from Republicans and his own desire to clear "must pass" bills that are ready for the floor.
The Obama administration threatened to veto the major defense authorization bill because of language paving the way for many terror suspects to be put under military custody, a sharp escalation of its battle with Congress over the future course of the war on terror.
The Senate's version of the bill includes language effectively requiring that al-Qaida suspects captured overseas—and potentially at home—be transferred into military custody. The Pentagon opposes the provision, and many Democrats believe it would slow ongoing terror probes and remove skilled FBI interrogators from their work battling domestic threats.
"Broadly speaking, the detention provisions in this bill micromanage the work of our experienced counter-terrorism professionals, including our military commanders, intelligence professionals, seasoned counter-terrorism prosecutors, or other operatives in the field," the White House said in a letter to the Senate Armed Services Committee. "Any bill that challenges or constrains the president's critical authorities to collect intelligence, incapacitate dangerous terrorists, and protect the nation would prompt the president's senior advisers to recommend a veto."
The controversial detainee provision has strong backing from Levin, and White House and Pentagon officials have lobbied against the measure championed by a leading Democratic lawmaker. The Pentagon doesn't want to assume custody of terror suspects or have to deal with the legal complexities of detaining, questioning, or trying them, so Pentagon aides expressed dismay yesterday when Levin's panel approved the measure.
Levin and other backers of the provision believe the administration's concerns are overblown. The bill underwent several changes since the provision was first crafted last September, and proponents argue that the White House's primary concerns have all been addressed. In a floor statement Thursday, Levin noted that Obama would retain the ability to determine whether suspects remain in civilian custody or be transferred to the military, as well as whether they'd be charged in civilian courts or before a military commission. The lawmaker said the provision expressly allows the FBI or other civilian agencies to continue ongoing probes or interrogations. And he said the language excludes all U.S. citizens and immigrants in the country legally.
"The only covered persons left are those who are illegally in this country, or who arrive as tourists or on some other short-term basis," Levin said. "That's a small remaining category, but an important one, because it includes the terrorist who clandestinely arrives in the United States with the objective of attacking military or other targets here."
The veto threat caps a tumultuous few months for the provision, which made it into the National Defense Authorization Act last September. The provision, if adapted and signed into law, would have significant legal repercussions for the ongoing war on terror. It would mean that militants arrested overseas or while living in the U.S. illegally—either during the planning of an attack or in the aftermath of a strike—could be placed under military custody rather than being left to civilian law enforcement agencies like the FBI. While it wouldn't apply to American citizens, legal experts believe it is written broadly enough to encompass large numbers of terror suspects.
Raha Wala, a legal analyst for Human Rights First, warned that the provision would "weaken our counterterrorism response."

November Crude oil
10/2/09 - November Crude oil – I guess the reversal swing date on September 29th was a lot stronger than I anticipated. I was looking at the formation as a possible TC swing pattern (Trend continuation) that could trigger another sell signal, if Crude oil traded below the low pivot point and the descending centerline. However, it seems the Crude oil had traded right into area of confluence where the descending centerline was crossed by the ascending reaction line. This price area proved to be a strong support and acted as a launching pad for the subsequent $3.90 one-day rally in November Crude oil. The pattern from August 8th thru September 29th appears to be forming a five-wave continuation pattern that portends a possible breakout to the upside. Before that can happen, I look for a two or three-day pullback to 67.70 to form the final stage of the TR swing pattern.
No trackbacks yet.

- Dialectal variation in german 3-verb clusters : a surface-oriented optimality theoretic account (2004)
- We present data from an empirical investigation on the dialectal variation in the syntax of German 3-verb clusters, consisting of a temporal auxiliary, a modal verb, and a predicative verb. The ordering possibilities vary greatly among the dialects. Some of the orders that we found occur only under particular stress assignments. We assume that these orders fulfil an information structural purpose and that the reordering processes are changes only in the linear order of the elements which is represented exclusively at the surface syntactic level, PF (Phonetic Form). Our Optimality theoretic account offers a multifactorial perspective on the phenomenon.
- The resolution of case conflicts : a pilot study (2004)
- This paper reports the results of a pilot study on the resolution of case conflicts in German free relative constructions. Section 1 gives a brief introduction into the phenomenon, section 2 presents the experiment and its results, section 3 ends the paper with a brief more general discussion.
- Dialectal variation in german 3-verb clusters : looking for the best analysis (2004)
- German dialects vary in which of the possible orders of the verbs in a 3-verb cluster they allow. In a still ongoing empirical investigation that I am undertaking together with Tanja Schmid, University of Stuttgart (Schmid and Vogel (2004)) we already found that each of the six logically possible permutations of the 3-verb cluster in (1) can be found in German dialects.
- Counting markedness : a corpus investigation on German free relative constructions (2004)
- This paper reports the results of a corpus investigation on case conflicts in German argument free relative constructions. We investigate how corpus frequencies reflect the relative markedness of free relative and correlative constructions, the relative markedness of different case conflict configurations, and the relative markedness of different conflict resolution strategies. Section 1 introduces the conception of markedness as used in Optimality Theory. Section 2 introduces the facts about German free relative clauses, and section 3 presents the results of the corpus study. By and large, markedness and frequency go hand in hand. However, configurations at the highest end of the markedness scale rarely show up in corpus data, and for the configuration at the lowest end we found an unexpected outcome: the more marked structure is preferred.
- Free relative constructions in OT syntax (2001)
- This paper is part of a research project on OT Syntax and the typology of the free relative (FR) construction. It concentrates on the details of an OT analysis and some of its consequences for OT syntax. I will not present a general discussion of the phenomenon and the many controversial issues it is famous for in generative syntax.
- On an alternative to long A´-movement in German and Dutch (2005)
- This paper provides an analysis of an alternative strategy to A´-movement in both German and Dutch where the extracted constituent is preceded by a preposition and a coreferential pronoun appears in the extraction site. The construction has properties of both binding and movement: Whereas reconstruction effects suggest movement out of the embedded clause, there is strong evidence that the operator constituent is linked to an A-position in the matrix clause; this paradox is resolved by assuming a Control-like approach that involves movement from the embedded clause into a theta-position in the matrix clause with subsequent short A´- movement. The coreferential pronoun is interpreted as a resumptive heading a Big-DP which hosts the antecedent in its specifier.
- From chunks to function-argument structure : a similarity-based approach (2001)
- Chunk parsing has focused on the recognition of partial constituent structures at the level of individual chunks. Little attention has been paid to the question of how such partial analyses can be combined into larger structures for complete utterances. Such larger structures are not only desirable for a deeper syntactic analysis. They also constitute a necessary prerequisite for assigning function-argument structure. The present paper offers a similaritybased algorithm for assigning functional labels such as subject, object, head, complement, etc. to complete syntactic structures on the basis of prechunked input. The evaluation of the algorithm has concentrated on measuring the quality of functional labels. It was performed on a German and an English treebank using two different annotation schemes at the level of function argument structure. The results of 89.73% correct functional labels for German and 90.40%for English validate the general approach.
- A hybrid architecture for robust parsing of german (2002)
- This paper provides an overview of current research on a hybrid and robust parsing architecture for the morphological, syntactic and semantic annotation of German text corpora. The novel contribution of this research lies not in the individual parsing modules, each of which relies on state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques. Rather what is new about the present approach is the combination of these modules into a single architecture. This combination provides a means to significantly optimize the performance of each component, resulting in an increased accuracy of annotation.
- TuLiPA: towards a multi-formalism parsing environment for grammar engineering (2008)
- In this paper, we present an open-source parsing environment (Tübingen Linguistic Parsing Architecture, TuLiPA) which uses Range Concatenation Grammar (RCG) as a pivot formalism, thus opening the way to the parsing of several mildly context-sensitive formalisms. This environment currently supports tree-based grammars (namely Tree-Adjoining Grammars (TAG) and Multi-Component Tree-Adjoining Grammars with Tree Tuples (TT-MCTAG)) and allows computation not only of syntactic structures, but also of the corresponding semantic representations. It is used for the development of a tree-based grammar for German.
- Quantifier scope in German : an MCTAG analysis (2006)
- Relative quantifier scope in German depends, in contrast to English, very much on word order. The scope possibilities of a quantifier are determined by its surface position, its base position and the type of the quantifier. In this paper we propose a multicomponent analysis for German quantifiers computing the scope of the quantifier, in particular its minimal nuclear scope, depending on the syntactic configuration it occurs in.

Benitez: Chelsea are tired
NEW Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez has told his players: You're not fit enough.
I'm not here to criticise, but we had too many players playing almost every game
"They'd played so many games, two a week and massive games in the Champions League," said Benitez. "The players were getting tired.
"My idea is to use the squad. We had too many players playing almost every game, 11 or 12 playing every game.
"Others hadn't had too many minutes. You cannot play two or three games in eight days and be fully fit. You lose some pace and energy. We had a board meeting yesterday and I explained what I'd seen. I'm not here to criticise, but that's the reality.
"We will be stronger as a team and a squad if we juggle them."
Owner Roman Abramovich was not at the meeting, but Benitez spelled out his views to chairman Bruce Buck and chief executive Ron Gourlay.
But the club and their billionaire owner already feared Roberto Di Matteo was burning out his men.
Abramovich saw his team enjoy a sensational start to the league season, winning seven and drawing one of their first nine games and scoring 21 goals.
But they hit a brick wall in November with four draws and a defeat in five topflight games, bagging a pitiful three goals.
Di Matteo was hampered by injuries and a comparatively small squad, but Benitez gave an indication of his thinking against Fulham on Wednesday when he left Juan Mata and John Obi Mikel on the bench.
He is ready to rest flagging Belgium playmaker Eden Hazard at West Ham today. He may also give a breather to midfielder Ramires and recall Mikel.
Chelsea are set to try again for Borussia Dortmund striker Marco Reus next month.

To understand Ani DiFranco's work as it stands now, it helps to know where she lives. The wandering feminist folkie veteran (we can call her that now, right?) has made her home in New Orleans over the last decade or so and it's fueled both her well-known and well-worn political agita. With all that's happened to that city of musical treasures, how could it not, right? It contributes to her ability to find the touching human vulnerability behind glib political sloganeering. Slogans like, say, "We are the 99 percent."
Somewhat contrary to that Occupy sentiment, Which Side Are You On? contains far more singularity (of voice, vision and loneliness) than community, though it certainly longs and sticks up for it. The record's first track, "Life Boat", may be the record's best and most singular. It sounds incredibly alone. It's New Orleans-inspired to its core, particularly in its wonderful lyrics, which conjure Biblical floods and Hurricane Katrina ("The cacophony of city lights/Is drowning out the stars"; "This park bench is a life boat") and the everyday human condition of living in a city with what's essentially post-traumatic stress.
The persona narrative of "Life Boat" is told through the eyes of a woman living on the streets. "I've got this tired old face/Still grinning most of the time," DiFranco sings in her character's voice. "Just 'cause it don't have a better way/To express what's on its mind." But DiFranco could just as easily be singing in the voice of New Orleans, where insistent life surges up, just under the surface of the water, refusing to drown under life's deluge of problems. "Life Boat"'s watery groove, fuzzy guitar, and chattering background sounds grab your attention before even a word is spoken on Which Side Are You On?. It's exactly what a lead-off track should do.
If "Life Boat" brings the spectre of water, then DiFranco's adaptation of a Pete Seeger (okay, Florence Reece) song "Which Side Are You On?" throws fire. DiFranco retools the tune from labor protest song to a broader inventory of the surging leftist politics of today, evoking the cause, or at least the spirit, of the Occupy movement. The rework could be a marching song for the movement (though it probably won't be). But it's sure rousing enough. No one can ever fault DiFranco for her apathy or lack of passion. It makes you want to pump a sign in the air, even if you're not at all political.
"They stole a few elections/Still we the people won/We voted out corruption and/Big corporations," she sings on the Which Side Are You On? title track in march-friendly meter over martial drums. "We voted for an end to war/New direction/We ain't gonna stop now/Until our job is done." That kind of rabble rousing can be alienating to those apolitical listeners. But it's her deeper statements, often uncertain missives or questions, that make a deeper emotional impact on far more listeners. "America, who are we?/Now our innocence is gone."
Still, it feels more than a little heavy-handed of DiFranco to make artistic hay out of last year's blossoming Occupy movement, which, intended or not, what Which Side Are You On? kind of feels like. But that's her thing, right? Sadly, so is the swing-jazzy "Promiscuity", a contemplation of monogamy. Spoiler alert, you guys: DiFranco doesn't like it. It also doesn't help that the lack of uptempo energy in the song kills any momentum the record may have had from its title track and the excellent "Splinter", which has a slinky, bossa nova groove with those watery sounds again that sounds like some of the acoustic shuffle on her excellent 2003 record Evolve.
Despite the record's ups and down, it's hard to deny DiFranco's vision and passion for her craft. Her populist flair has always belied her singular creative vision. She's the unquestioned dominant force in her music. She holds all the cards. In terms of creative (and business) cache, she is the one percent.
Hell, the owner of Righteous Babe Records has earned it. She's turned the label and her music into quite the cottage industry over 20-plus years. And DiFranco's never sounded more at peace with love ("Hearse", a Zen-like profession of her love in the face of her death) or her life. "If you're not getting happier as you get older, then you're fuckin' up," she brags with swag behind a dirty-brass New Orleans funk groove on "If Yr Not". You go, girl. You get an A+ for heart alone.
Essential Tracks: "Which Side Are You On?", "Splinter", and "Life Boat"

By robbiefreeling | REVERSEBLOG: the reverse shot blog June 12, 2007 at 5:40AM
The straightforward, very American, talking-head "expose" approach to documentary, cribbed from television shows like "Dateline NBC" and "20/20," has become the norm - and, in exploitative dreck like Capturing the Friedmans and Crazy Love, efficiently transformed real human lives into sound bites and greatest-hits packages. The recent Crazy Love comes across as especially derivative and tasteless in its poking and prodding at a woman's painful experience, preferring stringing together cute soundtrack cues and tabloid gossip to deconstructing the social black holes that created its central psychosexual bond in the first place. This form of documentary, wedded to personal narratives of rise-and-fall, destruction-and-reconciliation, is now prevalent in multiplexes. So seriously has it detracted attention from the groundbreaking traditions of direct cinema that it's hard to imagine a mainstream audience knowing what to make of French filmmaker Olivier Meyrou's superlative Beyond Hatred.
