One year later, Faith Hedgepeth's killer is still loose
CHAPEL HILL — One year later, the family of Faith Hedgepeth remains frustrated.
Hedgepeth, a member of the Haliwa-Saponi Tribe from Warren County, was a student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She was found dead in her apartment by her roommate at the Hawthorne at the View apartment complex on Old Chapel Hill Road one year ago today.
A memorial walk is planned this evening on campus.
Consuela Richardson, Hedgepeth's first cousin, said the family continues to struggle with the devastating loss and is experiencing an "extremely high level of frustration" because the killer remains free.
"They tell us all the time that they're not allowing the case to go cold, but at the same time they don't give us any details," Richardson said of police investigators. "The person who did this is continuing to walk around and we don't know if they're hiding in the dark or are right in front of our face."
Richardson understands police are keeping the details of the murder secret in order to not tip off the killer about what they know, but said that doesn't ease the family's frustration.
Hedgepeth's brother, Chad Hedgepeth, agreed with Richardson.
"We understand why, but it's still frustrating they won't give us any information at all," Chad Hedgepeth said. "We don't know anymore today than we knew the day after it happened."
Chad Hedgepeth said the family talks to investigators with the Chapel Hill Police Department at least once a week, and is doing all that it can to help find his sister's killer.
"We hope someone will come forward with some information," Chad Hedgepeth said. "Someone has to know something about what happened."
Robinson had this message for the person responsible for her cousin's death: "No one has forgotten about this, so don't think for a minute that it's all cool and you can just continue to walk around free."
The Chapel Hill Police Department has released few details about the circumstances surrounding Faith Hedgepeth's death other than to say it's being investigated as a homicide and that DNA found at the scene belongs to a male suspect.
On Thursday, police issued a statement saying the department understands that the community wants more information about the case and assuring the public that the murder has not become a cold case.
"Our priority remains maintaining the integrity of the investigation to ensure that Faith's killer is brought to justice," the statement said. "We appreciate this understanding and support shown by Faith's family as we continue to investigate the death."
Meanwhile, tonight's walk at 7:30, sponsored by the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Pi Omega Sorority, Inc., and the Xi Gamma Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., will begin at the Bell Tower Amphitheater beside the Genome Science Building and end at the Old Well.
Over the summer, Hedgepeth was inducted posthumously into the Alpha Chapter of Alpha Pi Omega Sorority during the sorority's national convention.
The sorority is predominately comprised of Native Americans but not exclusively.
She had dreams of becoming a doctor so she could provide medical care in her home community.
"This is still heavy on our minds," said Chelsea Barnes, a UNC student from Hope Mills who is a member of the sorority. "We wanted to give the UNC community a chance to show that we haven't forgotten."
March participants will carry carnations during the walk and leave them at the Old Well, where a table to collect donations for the Faith Hedgepeth Memorial Scholarship for freshman women.
Amy Locklear-Hertel, director of the American Indian Center at UNC, will be the speaker. And Harmonyx and Unheard Voices will perform.
Anyone with information about the crime should call the Chapel Hill Police Department tip line at (919) 614-6363 or Crime Stoppers at (919) 942-7515.
Citizens may also email tips and information to investigators at email@example.com.
Calls to Crime Stoppers are confidential and callers are eligible for up to a $39,000 reward without further involvement in this case.

Cooney punctuated a late surge with a pair of 3-pointers in less than a minute, Grant scored 13 points in 29 minutes — both season highs — and the burly, 6-foot-9, 288-pound Coleman contributed six points and a steal as the No. 7 Orange held off Villanova 72-61 on Saturday.

Each year I fall victim to the dreariness of Seattle's dark and wet winter. I become lethargic, unmotivated and peckish (mostly for carbs). In winter, I need more sleep and ironically more caffeine to provide enough energy for the day.
Then spring comes and I am myself again! I appreciate bright clear blue skies and I love to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin. It invigorates me and I feel alive.
In the winter, without the sun, I'm miserable.
But there's hope!
Last week I discovered the most amazing thing that absolutely changed my life: light therapy. I bought the Philips GoLite. It's a light that you use for as little as 15 minutes per day and it gives you energy, lifts your mood and helps fight the winter blues. It uses clinically proven Bluewave technology which gives you safe, non-UV blue light that you usually get from the sun and need for healthy well being. It's a natural way to get energized and motivated during the winter months.
I've been using the GoLite for 15-30 minutes per day and the results have been absolutely incredible. I set it on the desk at an angle a couple feet away as I work on my laptop. It is small and portable and you can use it while on your computer, watching TV, reading or eating, at home or at work.
If you suffer from a some version of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) and need extra positive energy to get you through the winter, then you need to buy this light. It will do wonders for your energy, happiness, overall well being and outlook on life.

Yorkshire Puddings/Popovers Questions
Hi--longtime lurker--first time poster--
So I was perusing my recipie books trying to figure out what side I want to prepare with our standing rib roast on Christmas day. I guess I never noticed that the ingredients for popovers are exactly the same for Yorkshire pudding.
So what whould be better to serve? I vaguely remember my mom making YP in the 70's.
BTW--I was referencing Marthas YP recipie and Ina's popovers.
There are two main differences:
- the fat you put in the pan - beef drippings v. butter or oil
- the size of the pan(s) - a single large one v individual servings
The large one is more likely to fall once you take it out of the oven. When I've had 'Yorkshire pudding' in Canadian restaurants, they have always been in the individual size.
Another variation on the theme is the German pancake or Dutch baby - a sweetened version of the batter is baked in a hot skillet, with lots of butter.
Yet another version is toad-in-the-hole, where the sausages are embedded in the batter. The sausages reduce the amount of rise in this version.
re: pikawicca
true, you wouldn't want the toad to upstage the expensive roast :)
My Mom always makes the yorkshire puddings from The (old) Joy of Cooking and they are always very well received. They are individually sized (muffin tin) and you melt the butter in the tin in the oven before pouring in the batter. I have no idea if this is traditional, but they are great and they hardly deflate when taken from the oven.
We actually had a YP contest....although I came in 3rd (I have a long list of excuses, but won't list them here!!)....I'll give you the winner's tips. She used Jamie Oliver's recipe and made sure to mix the batter and let sit for the appropriate time; also have the fat in the tins very hot; and finally don't open the oven door! Since that time I have purchased popover tins on a whim - which make absolutely no difference to the outcome!! lol Regular muffin tins are just fine.
This is a subject near and dear to my Brit bred heart! You're correct, the only difference betwen YP & pops is the fat (fat vs butter) in the bottom of the pan. Having eaten my weight in both, cooked over the years by my GGrandma, Grandma, Mother and self... I would suggest that if you are having a potluck/self service/large gathering to go with the pops. The YP (I don't know if anyone else calls it this, but in our house it was always Baked Pudding) baked around the roast is more of a traditional family meal setting. It will fall shortly after being taken out of the oven, so isn't the best looking thing that you'd want to serve guests. Good luck and as my Grandma would say-Just beat the hell out of it!

|Air Conditioners - Spitting Water
Room air conditioners have a "slinger ring" around the rear fan blade that picks up water in the base pan and throws it against the condenser coils. This helps improve the efficiency of the unit and helps remove moisture from the pan.
As the slinger ring throws the water against the condenser coils, you may see water spitting or dripping on the outdoor side of the unit. This is normal.
If your air conditioner is spitting water inside the room, several things may be causing the problem:

2007 Equality California-Opposed Legislation
A number of pieces of anti-LGBT legislation are introduced in the California Legislature each year. For the 2007 legislative session, Equality California is officially opposed to these bills because of the negative impact they will have on the LGBT community and our families.

AB 1346 (lead author Assemblymember Silva, R-Huntington Beach) would add religion as a protected characteristic to a number of education-related nondiscrimination laws. EQCA is opposed to this bill unless it is amended to cover all groups, including LGBT people, currently protected by the state's general policy against discrimination in all public school programs and activities.
Status: Failed passage in Assembly Education Committee.

I've been loving the Doppelgangaz these last two years. Beats for Brothels 2 (came out last year) and now Hark (from this year) have been on repeat. Beats for Brothels 2 has a lot of instrumentals/beats and then they come in at suprising times with a verse her and there. Hark is a more traditional hiphop album.

News Section: Community Spotlight
Community Spotlight: Feeding Empty Little Tummies, Inc. (FELT) Receives $2,500 Grant from Manatee Community Foundation
Left to right: Dan Molter, executive director of FELT; Kristina
Rupp, primary volunteer grant writer for FELT; and Micheline
Silverman, MCF board member.
BRADENTON – Feeding Empty Little Tummies (FELT), the Manatee County-based nonprofit that provides meals to the county's homeless school children, was recently awarded a $2,500 grant from the Manatee Community Foundation to continue its work. The funds will be used to purchase food to provide nutritious meals to fill backpacks that FELT donates to more than 225 elementary children each weekend during the school year when the kids don't have access to school lunch programs.
Founded in 2010 by Bradenton residents, FELT has grown from serving just three elementary schools and is now offered at 16 elementary schools per week, and so far this year alone has provided more than 40,000 meals to children in the community.
Nationally, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports homelessness among families with children as the fastest growing homeless population; Florida ranks third largest in homelessness to California and New York.
FELT appreciates the support from the Manatee Community Foundation because the award helps FELT continue its mission of meeting children's basic need for meals. There are 54,300 people in Manatee and Sarasota counties alone with Manatee County having 1,716 children through 12th grade who are identified as homeless by Project Heart of the Manatee County School Board. Only 1,350 of those children are enrolled in schools.
Teachers of the students served by FELT see real and positive impact on their student's ability to learn and thrive in school, reporting improved attitude toward the children's school experiences, as well as the children accomplishing more in school because they are not constantly worrying about where their next meal is coming from, FELT says.
FELT continues to expand because of the ever-growing homeless population and, like most nonprofits, it relies on community support for its growth, including food and cash donations. By the end of the 2013-14 school year FELT will pack more than 50,000 meals and deliver them in backpacks to students.
With continued community support, FELT representatives say the organization is able to continue its mission, though it would like to expand its services to students in middle schools where there also is an overwhelming need. Additionally, FELT hopes to begin offering a summer program to provide meals to homeless children during the summer when children are not guaranteed a meal.
Ultimately, FELT is looking to insure that no child goes hungry on weekends or other periods when school is not in session. A lofty goal, but made more accomplishable through the support of organizations such as the Manatee Community Foundation.
For more information, or to find out how you can volunteer to help FELT, please contact Dick Moore, FELT's volunteer coordinator, at: email@example.com, or call (941) 224-6089. FELT's web address is: FELTinc.org.

Penn State-Illinois Game Notes
Oct. 29, 2013
The Last Meeting
September 29, 2012
Champaign, Ill.
Penn State returns to Beaver Stadium, hosting Illinois in the first of three November home games. The Nittany Lions are 5-1 in games following a loss under head coach Bill O'Brien.
The Nittany Lions own a 16-4 on-field advantage in the series, including a 35-7 win in Champaign last year. The teams have met every season since 2005 and also will meet in 2014 and '15. Penn State has won the last two meetings. With this week's contest, the two teams have met in 17 of Penn State's 21 years in the Big Ten.
Allen Robinson posted his third career game with double-digit catches and fifth game this season over 100 yards last week at No. 4 Ohio State. The 2012 Big Ten Receiver of the Year made 12 receptions for 173 yards and caught a 65-yard touchdown pass, his longest career reception. Robinson put up identical numbers earlier this season at Indiana, with his 12 catches ranking second in school history (13 - Freddie Scott, `95).

Entire neighborhoods were transformed in Friday's storm that hit the Twin Cities.
"It was just get the hell out of here," said south Minneapolis resident, Steve Eue.
Eue and David Weseloh pulled into their driveway during Friday night's storm - narrowly missing the tree falling onto their garage.
"We were backing out as that was falling down," said Eue, who has lived in the neighborhood for 25 years.
Lightning tore down the 80-foot tall, 150-year-old cottonwood, which destroyed seven properties during its fall.
"I had no idea," said Eue. "I had no idea it was that bad."
Four trunks growing from the base of the tree split and fell in four separate directions in the storm.
"Their house is crushed, their house is damaged, their house is crushed ..." Eue said, pointing pointed across his backyard.
As Eue adjusts to the new empty space in the sky, neighbor Bret Indrelee is looking for an adjuster to survey the tree's new location - inside his living room.
"Feeling like its going to be a long day of phone calls," said Indrelee.
But the insurance companies are backed up, and so far, every tree removal service he's called is booked for days.
"I guess I'll just wander my way through this," said Indrelee.
Neighbors with power are helping where they can, offering to charge cell phones or provide a place to spend the night.

Week of APRIL 11, 2011
Bubriski Publishes New Photo Book
Professor Kevin Bubriski came to Nepal at the age of 20 as a Peace Corps volunteer and stayed for five years, working in remote regions of the country. The experience left an indelible impression. "I love Nepali food, going to Swayambhu, walking through the old cities of Kathmandu," he said. "My most-formative years were spent there, so it's very much a part of who I am."
Nepal has also been a big source of inspiration for his work as a photographer. Earlier collections including
Portrait of Nepal
, consisting of images taken in the 1990s, include panoramic views of the natural and built landscape. "Perhaps the most extraordinary photos, however, are the seemingly simple portraits," writes Toby Alice Volkman, Program Officer of the Education, Media, Arts and Culture Program of The Ford Foundation.
Portraits make up the entire contents in Bubriski's latest book
, launched earlier this month in Kathmandu. The photos were taken in the summer of 2010 in a vastly different country than the one Bubriski inhabited during his Peace Corps years. Nepal has been wracked by civil war since 1996 and as the country tries to create democratic republic that embraces diverse ethnic groups, the fate of an estimated 20,000 former combatants in the Maoist People's Liberation Army remains unresolved. It is the faces of these young men and women that Bubriski captures in
"I had heard much about the Maoists and the People's War over the past 14 years and I knew only the gruesome images of war from both sides of the conflict," said Bubriski. "I am trying to find the human side of the Maoist combatants because beyond the uniform, their status, and their economic standing, there is just the person. I wanted to respect them as a person and show their individuality."
This collection of portraits lets us see individual PLA combatants and know each person's name, district and age. Each portrait represents just a brief moment in the subject's life, a moment after the war and after four years of cantonment life.
All proceeds from the sale of the book, published by Himal Books, will go to Citta Hospital in Simikot, Humla, to sponsor medical field camps in Humla.

Josh Harrellson gets one-week tryout with Heat before camp
Sep 4, 2012, 9:38 AM EDT
Josh Harrellson is getting his chance. It's in his hands now.
Yesterday we told you about Harrellson tweeting he was headed to Miami where he would hopefully be "for 9 months." But he doesn't have a deal with the Heat, he simply is getting an extended look, reports Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel.
According to a source familiar with the Heat's approach, the team will be holding what essentially is a pre-camp camp in advance of the formal Sept. 29 start to training camp at AmericanAirlines Arena, with Harrellson in that mix of camp hopefuls.
According to the source, Harrellson is being brought in for a one-week tryout, with no contract guarantee in place.
Why do it this way? Harrellson had a workout with the Heat before and he buzz was that they liked his shooting but not his conditioning. This extended tryout seems to fit with that — he gets a week to show he has been getting in shape and for them to see his workouts up close for longer.
Harrellson will have to beat out Mickell Gladness for the spot as the final big on the roster. And if the Heat don't like either of them they could start looking at guys like Chris Andersen and Andray Blatche, but clearly those guys are far enough down the list that others are getting a good look ahead of them.
None of these people are getting a lot of minutes. The Heat will start games with Chris Bosh at the five (a small ball lineup that took them to the title last year) and they still have guys like Joel Anthony off the bench. But the Heat need some size to deal with guys in the East like Andrew Bynum and Roy Hibbert.
- knightrider1755 - Sep 4, 2012 at 11:56 AM
Why didn't the Knicks want him?
- gmen4life33 - Sep 4, 2012 at 1:50 PM
Wondering the same. He was playing well before his injury (and porn star stash). Is it because Knicks can't bring him back? I know we traded him and Jeffries in Camby deal, does new CBA stop us from resigning him? Anyone know?
- progress2011 - Sep 4, 2012 at 9:30 PM
Probably because he is:
1. Undersized
2. No Hops
3. Slow
4. No explosive prowess
5. Plus with Joe Johnson and D.Will on the perimeter and backcourt, his skill set is not needed.
If he grows a pair and learn how to play in the paint (like 6'10" guys are supposed to do) then maybe he might find a spot on someones roster. Otherwise, he has about 2 years MAX, in the league.
- sffan75 - Sep 4, 2012 at 11:34 PM
You realize the Knicks don't have Joe Johnson and Deron Williams, right?
- miamatt - Sep 4, 2012 at 12:57 PM
The Knicks are moving on from him? Sign that man, pronto!
In all seriousness, I think Miami would like another big who can stretch the floor as opposed to just a body to clog the lane and give fouls. Harrellson fits with that. I'd rather have him than Eddie Frickin' Curry at the end of the bench.
- youmisunderstood - Sep 4, 2012 at 5:14 PM
They can't sign him because they traded him to the Rockets, who then waived him. Under the new collective bargaining agreement, a player that's traded and waived can't be re-signed by the original team for one year.
- progress2011 - Sep 4, 2012 at 9:47 PM
Miamatt…dude c'mon !!!
Below is the current list of guys on Miami that are mid-range and 3 point jump shooters. Some like LBJ and Wade have other skill sets, but they still put up A LOT of jump shots.
Ray Allen, Chalmers, Wade, LBJ, Battier, Haslem, Rashard Lewis, James Jones, Mike Miller and Bosh.
So, out of the 14 current players on the roster 10 are mid range / 3 point shooters !
Adding this dude, who cannot shoot better than ANYBODY on the current roster, would be pointless.
There simply are not enough balls in the gym, for this dude to shoot….. EVER !
The Heat need Big Bodies, that are agile and like to play in and around the paint…..ex: Andray Blatche.
Pat Riley and the crew can help someone like Blatche, with his off court concerns and he can be a model player, in the right system with leaders, like MIA has.
- miamatt - Sep 4, 2012 at 11:14 PM
I agree that somebody like Blatche, young, big, and with upside would be intriguing. In fact, I'd rather the Heat take a shot on him than Harrellson. Miami loves them a good reclamation project. But out of those ten players you named, only one- Haslem- can spell Bosh at the five, and while I hope his jumper returns to form, you never now. My point is just that this is a way Miami could go if it comes down to looking at guys who are completely one dimensional defensive stoppers, ala Joel Anthony, or world-record foul givers, ala Dexter Pittman.
In any case, whomever gets signed at this point plays under the "Juwan Howard rules". In other words, if and when they hit the floor, the game is already over. If Miami relies on any of these guys for significant minutes in a gotta-have-it game, something has gone horribly wrong.
- dko83 - Sep 4, 2012 at 1:10 PM
This guy would be a good pickup for a lot of teams assuming he is no longer… fat. He battles down low, has heart (watch him outplay J. Sullinger in the final four), and can make shots. Hope he makes the (any) team.
- eventhorizon04 - Sep 5, 2012 at 12:35 AM
So, the Heat currently have 13 players under contract.
Looking at their roster, they're pretty deep from positions 1 to 4 (counting LeBron and Wade as potential point guards).
With Rashard Lewis, they have a stretch-4 with a solid jump shot.
Chris Bosh, however, is the *only* guy on the roster who can play the role of "stretch-5." Bosh playing center PLUS being a credible 3-point shooter was an important part of the Heat's floor spacing in the Finals. LeBron + Battier + Bosh all being credible 3-point shooters meant that opposing forwards and centers had to close out on them beyond the 3-point arc, allowing penetration by Wade, LeBron, and even Mario Chalmers!
Unlike Bosh, Rashard Lewis lacks the bulk or rebounding ability to play the center position – even as a "small-ball" center. Josh Harrelson could serve as a backup "stretch-5″ since he is a solid rebounder, has great size, and is a credible 3-point shooter.
I think Harrelson + 1 more traditional center/power forward would round out the Heat roster nicely.

Lamont Weekly Report, May 30, 2008
In a speech in the Low Library earlier this week Mayor Bloomberg said: "Science in our city also puts New York on the cutting edge in the study of climate change. Columbia University's Earth Institute and its Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory are world leaders in understanding and addressing global warming...
So it is nice that he knows our name!
The Commissioner of the New York State Dept of Environmental Conservation (Peter Grannis) and his Deputy Stu Gruskin spent most of the day here at Lamont, learning about the many NYS research activities in which we are involved. This was an extremely productive session that I believe will lead to substantially increased interactions. Other States around the nation, especially California and Florida, provide significant support for University-based research that has relevance to State interests - we must get New York into this same state of mind. The reality is that we do a tremendous amount of research here at Lamont that is of fundamental importance to the healthy future of NYS.
Believe it or not, I am going to see Richie Havens at the Turning Point tonight - have not seen him perform since Woodstock...will probably fall asleep half way through...
It is Saturday tomorrow, so it will rain. Have a great weekend anyway,

Too often we say we have no time to exercise. The best things is to plan exercise like how we plan our meals. On my busy days, I plan my exercises for early morning...or just make sure I plan for even a 20 minute workout at some point throughout the day...quick but counts. We have to make time for our workouts or they will never get done when we get caught up with life!

As low thermal conductivity of PP foam, low water vapor permeability, high energy absorption and compression, making it suitable for filling the gap is not a flat surface, such as: a roof, walls, concrete slabs, expansion joints in the road packing, sealant to keep things, sealing strips. PP foam sheet by reducing the loss of heat and moisture can promote the solidification of concrete. Its low thermal conductivity, PP foam can be used for general construction of the roof liner material can be reduced by the PP foam pad spread the voice of multi-story building. Japan will cut thin crosslinked PP foam sheet laminated with the metal creating a wavy level material. And good use of its insulation effect, foamed PP also expected to be applied within the insulation and exterior wall insulation, roof insulation inverted (ie, the structure of the roof layer, Xianpu waterproof layer, holes and thermal insulation layer, the long-term effective waterproof, roof leakage to solve this chronic problem), and radiant floor heating insulation. In the engineering and construction (including roads, railways, water conservancy and other fields) in the thermal insulation layer is expected as the roadbed is used to prevent frost heave damage to the soil below it. Center foam, smooth surface of the PP foam board (CD plate) without gouging the surface processing, wood processing tools and available processing methods to process, and has to welding, non-absorbent, do not rot, mildew, surface can composite fabric, metal, film, wood chip or membrane can be used to process recycled materials and other features. CD board with a template for the construction, non-absorbent, non-stick cement, permeability, and won the love of the construction sector abroad. The CD plate as a template, you can use 100% recycled plastics, and plywood prices can compete, can be used repeatedly 50 times, 10 times life is plywood. More valuable is to use the CD after the board can be recycled, no waste, no pollution to the environment. In addition, low-foaming PP structural foam plastic sheet used as a camping room door, wall panels and roof and so on. PP fiber-reinforced synthetic wood is a rigid foam, and wood used as an important industrial material in a foreign country saw rapid development. For example, Japan in 1972 with the PP synthetic wood 500t. PP synthetic wood has the following advantages: (1) high strength, bending strength and natural wood modulus of elasticity, so as with the carrying capacity of natural wood; (2) low thermal expansion, the linear expansion coefficient and natural wood, steel , similar to cement, aluminum and fiber reinforced plastics below, even lower than the ABS, PS, PUR foam and other structures; (3) creep low density 0.47g/cm3 of PP synthetic wood density of the creep modulus is 0.62 g/cm3 structure of PS foam 3-4 times, and similar to natural wood and its resistance to outdoor exposure is better than natural wood. PP floating foam or water rescue equipment ideal material for life jackets, life buoy core material, surfboard, beach Yongchang fetch water swimming materials, and pool enclosures. U.S. production of PP foam sheet can be used as a surfboard; and gymnastics carpet, wall mats and exercise mats are a good use of its energy absorption application examples. PS foam board with different PP foam sheet easy to bend, allowing for industrial tanks and pipes for thermal insulation. Other industrial applications include gaskets, oil seal rings, vibration pads and a variety of flotation devices, such as floats, the oil-gate, ring floating bags. PP foam production and development has been one of the hot spots. However, due to the high crystallization characteristics of PP, the foam molding more difficult, in Europe in the 1970s began producing foam PE, and PP has been cross-linked foam to 1985 years before industrialization. Can be expected, the foamed PP in the automotive, construction, food, packaging, thermal insulation, electrical and other areas play an important role, as a replacement of PS foam products have broad market prospects, not only to meet the needs of the national economy, meet environmental requirements, but also promote the application of PP resin and the consumption structure change (Dongguan Kawatsure plastic materials Co., Ltd.)

By twhalliii | THE BACK ROW MANIFESTO by Tom Hall November 5, 2006 at 10:55AM
I was watching a little late night television this weekend when I passed by the History Channel, which was re-running their documentary KKK: A Secret History. As the film was winding to a close, the story eventually found its way to one of the most troubling pieces of film footage I know, one that continually haunts me to this day.
I was raised on picket lines; Two of my parents were school teachers in Flint, MI (the home of the modern Union movement in many ways) and in the late-1970's and early 1980's, teacher strikes were not at all uncommon. Of course, living in a community that was deeply committed to Union organizing, the safety of the picket was unquestioned; I even had my first kiss on the picket line. It wasn't until I saw Barbara Kopple's stunning Harlan County U.S.A, where a company employee fires a gun on a coal miner's picket line, that I understood the reality of political action like a strike or a picket or protest. That film shook me deeply as a teenager. It's one of those cinematic moments you always remember and was, for me, a deep political awakening that reached its apotheosis in the footage of The Greensboro Massacre.
On November 3rd, 1979, members of the Maoist Communist Worker's Party (CWP) were preparing to stage an anti-KKK rally and march in a poor, African-American neighborhood in Greensboro, NC. The CWP was active in the area and trying to organize local textile workers into a union, and as such, were deeply unpopular among local authority figures for their militant actions in the community. As the CWP were preparing thier 'Death To The Klan' rally, a caravan of Klansmen and members of the American Nazi Party showed up to heckle and disrupt the march. The members of the CWP began attacking the caravan with heavy lumber until, despite having the ability to drive away safely, members of the Klan reached into the trunk of one of the cars and produced fire arms, opened fire on the demonstrators and killed five people. This tragic encounter is like a ghost for me, a signpost for all of the changes this country has undergone in the last twenty-seven years and this year, stumbling upon the memory once again, it is just one more reminder for me to get my ass to a voting booth this Tuesday and pull the lever with extra vigor.
I have seen the infamous footage several times and I always find it terrifying; Two militant groups, one deeply experienced with violence and terror, the other an extension of 1970's radicalism that had more bark than bite (in most cases) and not a single police officer, federal agent or public official within a quarter mile of the confrontation. How could this happen?
Warning: Violent, deeply troubling images contained within...
The more I learn about the tragic violence, the more I understand the context of the clash and the more I see the tragedy as completely preventable. The CWP had disrupted a KKK rally earlier in the summer and had made threatening, violent overtones in the press toward the Klan, a Klan informant for the police department was given a copy of the CWP parade permit, allowing the KKK access to inside information about the staging area, the CWP's plans and the fact that, in order to receive the permit, the CWP members had to agree to march unarmed. While that point seems obvious to me, I discovered that most marches were populated by many people carrying firearms, which was allowed under North Carolina law (the law has since changed as a result of the massacre). Also, one would imagine that if the police knew about the hostilities between the Klan and the CWP, knew that their informant within the KKK had obtained information about the rally and knew of the Klan's plans (and had actually organized the group to disrupt the rally), and had granted a permit to the CWP to march (depite the CWP's virulently anti-police attitude) that the police would show up and defend the rights of the CWP to free speech and at the very least inform the CWP that the Klan was preparing to disrupt the rally. That is, certainly, the responsibility of the police. Instead, law enforcement stayed several blocks away and were not on the scene when the violence broke out. Having several news crews on on hand, clearly capturing what happened that day, juries ultimately acquited all parties in the massacre as acting in self-defense.
In the years following the massacre and the acquittals, outrage and anger remained within Greensboro, culminating in one of the most interesting social projects in recent American history. Taking their lead from South Africa's post-apartheid Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the citizens of Greensboro formed their own; The Greensboro Truth And Reconciliation Commission was the first Truth and Reconciliation Commission ever established in the United States. Their final report (available on their website and just released on May 25, 2006) is a fascinating document and I encourage those interested in the history of this terrible event to read it. It provides a clear portrait of not only the context of the tragedy, but of the way in which the community responded to the terrible events of that day. Also, there is an interesting film from 2002 about the event and its deeply unsettling legacy, Greensboro's Child, which aired this weekend on local Greensboro Public Access TV and is available in its entirety on-line. If history is written by the winners, what does the silence and collective ignorance about The Greensboro Massacre mean to us today?

Comments Tom Hall, That is a great post about The Greensboro Massacre and I thank you for adding a comment about my Documentary, "Greensboro's Child." It amazes me how people still look back and have no care at all that 5 people were killed in such a display of conspiracy between the local government and the KKK. I hope something like this never happens again. Thanks again, Andy Coon *******************************************************************

Product description
We create organizations because we need to get a job done--something we couldn't do alone--and join them because we're inspired by their missions (and our paycheck). But once we're inside, these organizations rarely feel inspirational. Instead, we're often baffled by what we encounter: clueless managers, a lack of clear objectives, a seeming disregard for data, and the vast gulf between HR proclamations and our experience in the cubicle."So where did it all go wrong?"In THE ORG, Ray Fisman and Tim Sullivan explain the tradeoffs that every organization faces, arguing that this everyday dysfunction is actually inherent to the very nature of orgs. THE ORG diagnoses the root causes of that malfunction, beginning with the economic logic of why organizations exist in the first place, then working its way up through the org's structure from the lowly cubicle to the CEO's office. Woven throughout with fascinating case studies-including McDonald's, al Qaeda, the Baltimore City Police Department, Procter and Gamble, the island nation of Samoa, and Google--THE ORG reveals why the give-and-take nature of organizations, while infuriating, nonetheless provides the best way to get the job done. You'll learn: The purpose of meetings and why they will never go awayWhy even members of al Qaeda are required to submit Travel & Expense reportsWhat managers are good forHow the army and other orgs balance marching in lockstep with fostering innovationWhy it's the hospital administration-not the heart surgeon-who is more likely to save your lifeThat CEOs often spend over 80% of their time in meetings-and why that's exactly where they should be (and why they get paid so much) Looking at life behind the red tape, THE ORG shows why the path from workshop to corporate behemoth is pockmarked with tradeoffs and competing incentives, but above all, demonstrates why organizations are central to human achievement.

Initial reports tell us the amount of experience points necessary to progress to each level has been decreased by 30% (for the 60 to 70 range only). Additional posters are reporting that mobs which give 500xp on the live server are now giving 600xp on the beta server. There doesn't seem to be any increase in the XP rewarded by quests yet, but this might be a future change.
Kaplan asks everyone to provide feedback on the change (if you're in the beta), and it looks like they've got his ear for the time being. So if you're in the beta and want to weigh in on the subject, now's the time.

'Split second' decision saved station and bystanders from a petrol blast
Posted: October 18, 2012|
WITH no regard for his own life, quick-thinking Sergeant Rob Bateman sprung into action when Martin Williams threatened to set fire to Longton Police Station.
Williams, of Heathcote Street, Sandford Hill, poured five litres of petrol over himself and the reception area of the Sutherland Road building on September 11 last year and was attempting to ignite the fuel with a cigarette lighter.
Realising what devastating effects this could have, without hesitation, Sgt Bateman discharged his CS canister into Williams's face and grabbed hold of both his arms, forcing him out of the police station and away from the petrol fumes, while seizing the cigarette lighter out of his hand.
Despite being visually impaired and overcome by petrol fumes, Sgt Bateman then arrested the man and kept him under control until officers came to his assistance.

Forty-two-year-old Williams was later handed a 12-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, and a Supervision Order for two years. He was also made subject of curfew restrictions for four months.
Chief Superintendent Bernie O'Reilly, below, said: "There is no doubt that, had the man been in a position to ignite his lighter, the resultant explosion would have killed them both, as well as causing serious injuries to two members of the public nearby and significant damage to the police station.
"I am delighted to reward Sergeant Bateman for his remarkable bravery and courageous actions."
Thirty four-year-old Sgt Bateman, who is based at Longton Police Station, said: "I had to make a split second decision. I was just walking in to deal with a lady and her son who had been waiting a little bit too long when it happened. I saw the man had a lighter and just knew I had to do something.
"It was quite frightening to be honest but as a police officer you can't run away from things."
He added: "It is very nice to get recognised but it was even nicer to get home that night."

V-Day "Monologues" Speak Out for Women
At Lehigh University in Bethlehem, two sophomores, Chris Diggs and Alex Milspaw, have been working to organize the performance of "The Vagina Monologues." Both students believe that by performing the play they can raise awareness about issues that aren't generally talked about. Diggs says performing "Monologues" gives cast members and audiences a night envisioning a world without violence against women. For Milspaw, producing the play was one of the best experiences of her life. "It was great to watch (the cast) bloom and come out of their shells." According to Gus Ripa, Lehigh University's Theatre Department head, organizing their performance has been a grass-roots effort and totally student generated, though faculty members and theater students have been available to coach anyone who asks. The show will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday at Zoellner Arts Center.

Comment An exercise in Digital Asset Management (Score 1) 680 680
My photography archive is approximately 100GB in size. I keep it safe in the following way:
- Primary datastore lives on PC.
- Sync primary datastore to second HDD internal to PC whenever changes are made. I use Beyond Compare for this.
- Sync primary datastore to external HDD whenever changes are made. Beyond Compare again.
- Burn to blu-ray once I hit my bucket size of ~24GB[1]
- Backblaze online backup for offsite disaster recovery. Costs $5/month or less if you sign up for a year.
1. If you care at all about keeping the fruits of your photography labours safe, I cannot recommend highly enough Peter Krogh's "Digital Asset Management for Photographers, 2e". The bucket concept is from there. See http://www.thedambook.com/
Submission + - Sun to seek injunction against NetApp products
"As a part of this suit, we are requesting a permanent injunction to remove all of their filer products from the marketplace, and are examining the original NFS license — on which Network Appliance was started. In addition to seeking the removal of their products from the marketplace, we will be going after sizable monetary damages. And I am committing that Sun will donate half of those proceeds to the leading institutions promoting free software and patent reform".
Schwartz goes on to outline NetApp's demands in order for its existing patent infringement case against Sun to be dropped:"...unfree ZFS, to retract it from the free software community" and "to limit ZFS's allowable field of use to computers — and to forbid its use in storage devices."
Journal Journal: [retrocomputing] Memory tests
I've been spending a bit of time writing the memory tester for my Sinclair Spectrum Diagnostics board. The board itself, to recap, contains a flash ROM, a little bit of glue logic, a couple of flip flops and eight LEDs - the idea being that the code running in ROM can display the results on the LEDs, so as to use as little of the (possibly suspect) Spectrum's hardware.

Informal dinner party
Seeking good ideas for an informal dinner for four. My guests are not super adventurous eaters, so must be mindful of that. Any suggestions?
