EOF - The Hardware Hacking Behind the Software Radio
A rotary encoder is a digital input device used to measure angular rotation and direction. It does this by sending two out-of-phase pulse trains. Direction is determined by which pulse arrives first. The pulses then can be counted to determine magnitude of rotation. There are many manufacturers and grades of rotary encoders. We used a unit by Bourns, part number PEC11-4225F-S0024. See the Radii home page for details on how to interface this encoder with a PIC.
When shopping for an LCD, first make sure it is HD44780-compatible. This is the most widely supported interface; anything else could slow down your efforts. The backlight type for the display is also important. Electro Luminescence—think Timex Indiglo—looks great but has unusual power requirements. The fastest and easiest way to go for backlighting is to use an LED backlit display. An LED backlight generally requires standard 5 VDC power. When shopping for an LCD with backlight, be sure to verify the type of backlight before bidding/buying.
The PIC interface levels are TTL-level outputs (that's transistor-transistor logic). With TTL, about 5V is on and about 0V is off. Interfacing this to RS-232/serial port (12V on/0V off) requires the use of a TI MAX232 dual-driver/receiver chip and a handful of resistors/capacitors. The chip does most of the work for you, but some assembly is required for the interface board and the serial cable used.

Dairy Queen Boot Dispute Shocks North Shore Suburb
People don't like it when their car gets booted–especially when all they want is an ice cream cone.
A disagreement over a vehicle booted in a strip mall parking lot grew heated and then violent last week when a man parked in the lot, but then walked over to the adjacent Dairy Queen according to Pioneer Press.
Earlier this year, the property management company of a Wilmette strip mall hired Chicago Parking Management, a private booting firm, to enforce parking restrictions on their property. The problem was that drivers would use the strip mall parking lot to park and not to patronize the businesses in the strip mall, but to purchase something scrumpdillicious from the popular Dairy Queen.
Private Booting Expands To More Chicago Neighborhoods
Booting of vehicles on private property is now legal in 28 of Chicago's 50 wards according to DNA Info.
Private booting is a type of parking enforcement on private property that is an alternative to towing. If a driver parks a car in a parking lot but walks off the property without patronizing one of the property's businesses, an attendant will place a boot on their car and only release it after paying hefty fines up to $140.
Global Parking Management seems to be the only company in the city engaged in this business and has many client parking lots in Lakeview, Wicker Park and other heavily congested neighborhoods where motorists often abuse parking lots to shop elsewhere.
It's a controversial practice that, while legal, leaves many motorists very angry.
Private booting is allowed on a ward by ward basis. Some wards allow it, but others do not.
So when the Chicago City Council redrew ward maps with new boundaries that began in 2015, Global Parking Management lost some clients because those businesses were now located in a ward that didn't allow booting.
Parking Patrons Risk Boot At Wilmette Dairy Queen
Who knew a soft serve ice cream cone could cause so much controversy?
Up in north suburban Wilmette, if you try to park your car in a strip mall parking lot to pickup a scrumpdilicious ice cream cone at the Dairy Queen, your vehicle risks being booted.
The Dairy Queen is popular during the summer up there.
So much so, DQ's parking lot can't handle all the cars and some times drivers use the strip mall parking lot next door to park there cars to score their cone–and that's annoying the business owners in the strip mall who want the spaces free for their customers.
City Hall Explores DIY Denver Boot Release Program
Chicago drivers dread getting booted–that is–the bright yellow Denver boot.
But now, getting booted–or at least getting the boot removed may become much easier.
The city has recently issued an RFP (request for proposal) for a vendor to provide some sort of "self-release vehicle immobilization devices," according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
Unfortunately, city motorists will sometimes come back to their vehicle to find one of these metal vehicle immobilization devices attached to a tire due to unpaid parking tickets.
CBS 2 Showcases Global Parking's Booting Tactics On SW Side
According to CBS 2 News, Global Parking Management is booting a lot of cars in a parking lot on Archer and Central.
Private Booting Headed To 45th Ward
Booting vehicles in private parking lots may be coming to the northwest side's 45th Ward according to DNA Info Chicago.
Alderman John Arena (45th) recently introduced an ordinance to allow the practice in his ward.
Private booting allows the owner of a parking lot to enforce the vehicles which park in their lot by immobilizing vehicles whose drivers park in the lot but then leave the premises. Private booting is seen as alternative to towing as a way to make sure vehicles are not trespassing on the property and/or to make sure parking spots are available for shoppers who want to patronize businesses where the lot is located.
According to the story, about half the city's wards allow private vehicle immobilization.
Man Arrested After Taking Blowtorch To Denver Boot
"I had to remove it somehow because I have money problems," Michael Ziemba allegedly told police.
According to DNA Info Chicago, the 70-year old Ziemba was caught by police allegedly attempting to remove the bright yellow Denver boot attached to his front wheel with a blowtorch.
He was charged with criminal damage to property and released on his own recognizance.
Ziemba may also face a separate $750 fine for tampering with the boot by the city's Department of Finance.
Here's DNA Info's full story, "Man, 70, Caught Using Blowtorch on Denver Boot, Prosecutors Say."
Boot & Run
A crafty driver in Logan Square found a way to escape the dreaded Denver boot and give the city the middle finger all in one fell swoop last night.
The industrious car owner, finding his or her vehicle immobilized by a bright yellow, heavy, metal boot, found a way to remove the entire wheel in order to get back on the road.
Booted In Private Lot, Man Attacks Attendant With Hammer
Marcus Forman parked in a laundry mat parking lot in Rogers Park last week, then went next door to the liquor store in Rogers Park.
But when he came back to his car, he found it had been booted by Global Parking Management.
That's when, according to DNA Info Chicago, Forman lost it and attacked the booter working for Global Parking with pepper spray and the "wooden end of a hammer."
Forman eventually turned himself in to police. He was charged with aggravated battery and criminal damage to property. A judge set his bond at $125,000.
Global Parking Management patrols many private parking lots in Chicago using the same type of vehicle immobilization device–the Denver Boot–that the City of Chicago uses to convince parking ticket scofflaws to cough up what they owe.
State Senator Silverstein Backs Off Boot Bill
Chicago drivers can breathe a sigh of relief today.
That's because the bill introduced in the Illinois State Senate in January to allow municipalities to drastically expand the use of the Denver boot to collect unpaid city debts, has been tabled–for now.
According to Illinois Senate President John Cullerton's (D-Chicago) office, the bill had already been assigned to the Judiciary Committee a few weeks prior. But during Thursday's session in Springfield, it was withdrawn from its committee assignment and sent back to Assignments by the bill's sponsor, Illinois State Senator Ira Silverstein (D-Chicago).
While Silverstein did not respond to repeated attempts for comment, staff members in both his Chicago and Springfield offices said they had received many calls voicing opposition after news of the bill was reported in the media. Crain's Chicago Business broke the story earlier in the week.

|Ephedra sinica, sinensis (dg fo pf wp)

|60 each seeds in
|The seed is easy to germinate in a warm, sandy medium. Strew the seed on surface of very sandy potting soil (50% sand) and barely cover with more of the same potting soil. Tamp securely and keep evenly moist until germination, which in the greenhouse or under propagation lights should take about 11 days. If you are trying to do this outside in the garden it might take longer, as cold nights will prolong germination times. Basically you want to provide as much control as possible (ie plant in flats, not in the garden dirt) because the seedlings are small and you need to work them up to about 4 inches before transplanting. After germination, back off on the watering because the young seedlings can easily damp off -- this is a desert plant.
|Does well in pots. We grow the plants in a sand mulch, about 4 inches thick, in the full sun, with moderate watering. They create, in 2 or 3 years, a stubby, woody trunk bristling with the jointed stems. Cold hardy. Note on germination: Seed gave 80% germination in 11 days at 65 degrees F.
|full sun

|Perennial, primitive shrub. Native to the steppes of north and northwestern China. Rare offering of the main official species. Does well in pots.
Dried stem is a natural adrenergic stimulant to the central nervous system and a bronchodilator for treating colds and asthma. The whole herb, dried and used in small doses, poses no threat to the health. However, the very young, the very old, and the pregnant mother would best avoid using this stimulating herb.
Ma-huang prefers full sun and dry, sandy soils.
The flower is inconspicuous, but the fruits are quite fascinating -- fleshy scales adhered together at the end of the branch, colored orange, gooey and mucilagenous, and very sweet to the taste, containing the paired seeds with their flattened sides lightly clasped together.
More notes: There's a reason why Ephedra sinica is the official herb used for making the Chinese medicine Ma-huang. It has high concentrations of the various Ephedrine alkaloids and it has them in the naturally balanced state. It's a whole herb, and can be used in the form of the dried "stems" as a tea. The tea is used as a bronchial dilator -- very helpful for asthmatics, and like coffee, gently stimulating to the CNS (central nervous system). Its not dangerous when used at reasonable dosage (a cup or two) as an herbal tea. When the Ephedrine is concentrated (made into a drug, no longer an herb) then it can certainly be dangerous. We're suggesting using the herb in the traditional manner, at reasonable dosage, not as a white powdered concentrate that can overstimulate the heart!In any form, Ma-huang is not a good herb to use if you are pregnant, nursing, very young, very old, or with a preexisting heart condition. Prudence is recommended! Other sources of Ma-huang also contain alot of Ephedrine alkaloids. In general, Ephedra sinica has a higher total alkaloid content than the other species. Ephedra equisitina is higher in Ephedrine than pseudoephedrine. Ephedra intermedia is higher in pseudoephedrine than ephedrine. Ephedrine levels may vary according to how old the plants are, where they are grown, when the seed is harvested, how the herb is processes, whether the nodes are used or not, how long the dried herb has been stored, etc. etc. Our plants are starters only. You can't make a useable quantity of dried herb off of them because they are too small -- the plants need to be planted out in a good situation and grown out for a couple of years before they get big enough to harvest.

Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery
Founded in 1910, Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery has a varied programme of exhibitions and events, a shop and cafe as well as galleries highlighting its art, human history and natural history collections.
Venue Type:
Tuesday to Friday - 10am to 5.30pm
Saturday - 10am to 5pm
Closed Sundays and Mondays
The Cottonian collection at Plymouth City Museum & Art Gallery is a Designated Collection of national importance.
The Designated Cottonian Collection was bequeathed to the city of Plymouth by William Cotton (1794 -1863) from whom it takes its name, but the collection was largely assembled during the 18th century by Charles Rogers (1711 - 1784). His connoisseurship, combined with an extensive network of contacts in the art world, resulted in a collection of some 20,000 prints, drawings and paintings, regarded by his contemporaries as one of the finest in England. A 30-day sale in 1799 reduced the collection by two thirds but, nevertheless, the collection inherited by Plymouth is of outstanding quality and provides rare insights into the history of printmaking.
The Cottonian Collection gallery features paintings by Reynolds, Kaufmann, Ruysdael, Laroon etc; works on paper by Altdorfer, Watteau, Guercino etc; furniture, figurines and prints.
Permanent galleries showcase items from World Cultures, Ancient Egypt, archaeology, maritime and local history, Natural History and Fine and Decorative Art collections.

ARTIST ROOMS: Gerhard Richter
- 26 September 2015 — 16 January 2016 *on now
Recognised as one of Germany's most significant living artists, Gerhard Richter consistently identifies himself as a painter. His ongoing investigation into the process of painting started over 50 years ago in 1960.
This exhibition will examine the breadth and depth of his practice and techniques, and will focus on the three broad areas of activity in his work: figurative, constructive and abstract. Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery is aiming to involve young people in a range of areas including the development of the exhibition and the production of its marketing and interpretation materials as well as through a programme of public events.
The Imaginators
The Imaginators are a group of toddlers aged from around 18 months old and upwards, pre-school children, mums, dads, grandparents and carers who meet up on selected Wednesdays throughout the year to explore the Museum and have fun! With a focus on play, exploration and learning, every week is different as we journey around our galleries, objects and paintings.
The children learn to build relationships and try their hand at activities such as painting, singing and making, all the time using their developing skills and their imaginations.
Younger siblings/older babies are welcome too. Sessions run from 10.30-11.30 and are led by one of our Arts Education Officers.

We want to expand the current maintenance operations, recruit new skilled personnel from Norway and to create stability to the development of operations in the long run", says Lassi Matikainen from Patria.
Patria has already operated in Norway for a long time as Patria and the Norwegian state own the defence group Nammo AS with equal stakes.
The Norwegian Armed Forces has purchased XA vehicles from Patria. Also, Patria maintains Norwegian helicopters. Furthermore, Nordic cooperation takes place in NH90 project in connection with NORDILS as well as in helicopter engine assembly.

Very good tool to make sure your links are updated and works.
Do the job ! Thanks a lot for it !
Plugin works fine, but could you please add also checking of image sources inside links?
For example image1-310x310.png was deleted. But the plugin don't "think" here in any error (because image1.png is available):
<img src="/image1-310x310.png" />
Thank you.
Second review of this plugin, over 135k links were scanned.
The good points : almost everything. The plugin does its job well, will update posts properly. These results are nothing short of praiseworthy.
I know I'll list many more bad points than good points, but I also see the latter as constructive criticism, and the good points are, simply, massive, the plugin did its job and did it damn WELL!
The bad points :
- the plugin BADLY needs a "bad domains" feature. Some domains expire, and are bought by other companies and then put back online for advertising unrelated stuff, and in such a case, the broken links checker believes these are good links, it won't even list them for checking.
Sadly, they are now dead links not pointing anymore to the initial pages.
It would be GREAT if we could tell the broken links checker which domans are to be considered as bad and listed among the broken links.
(Updating : the plugin author answered arbout this, apparenty this isn't going to be implemented, but we can go to the links management section in Tools > Link Checker, and manually search for the bad domain names, and tick have them all unlinked. Decent enough workaround.)
- Sometimes I write text with a part between double quotes or with a superior sign in the descriptions of images, and I occasionally found the plugin had problems with & quot ; and & gt ; (I'm adding spaces, not sure if the present form formatting won't take them for double quotes otherwise) in the alt= and title= fields of images, it believed it was broken code. That's not always happening, oddly.
- it's not a really bad point, but, still, when we talk about thousands, hundreds of thousands of dead links, the only solution is to always keep a tab with the blog admninistration open, otherwise, only hourly checks, it would take forever to scan all the links.
It would be nice to have an option to "repeat every minute", so that we don't need to, first thing in the morning, open again our blog admin, and leave it open all day, haha.
- in the Admin > Tools > Broken links, the broken links plugin creator has added on top of a page a tab with a green background called Admin Menu Editor. It took me five full minutes to realize it was a suggestion to add this other wordpress plugin; I had first believed this was an additional plugin that had been added alongside the broken links plugin. And I wasted a crazy time searching where this unwanted plugin was hidden so that I could - in vain, I understood later - uninstall it.
Exactly what you would want it to do. Helps fix links, shows broken links as broken if you want and is smart about it.
However, on two of my blogs it seems unable to see links in posts - which sort of defeats the object, obviously.
I installed it on my website [ link redacted, please do not post links in reviews ] It's good I don't have any broken links on my website. I think the plugin will work as like as I expected. Thanks for this.
Been using for 2+ years without problems.
It's a very useful plugin when your site becomes old and you have to check all these dead links. But it can slow your site and it creates a hudge database table you have to clean after use. As it's not a "every day usage plugin", it's not really a problem.
This plug is pretty close to a gotta have, once your site gets sufficiently large. Link rot is a constant fight and Broken Link Checker is your weapon to combat it. Thanks.
working fine

Once, Moss writes, the high court viewed "litigation as an important tool for redressing grievances, deterring wrongdoing, and spurring social reform." But the justices who once joined in advancing that view are no longer on the bench, "and now the Court regularly issues rulings based on a more negative view of litigation - a view that stresses litigation's burdens on defendants rather than its importance to plaintiffs, to society, and to the vindication of policies Congress enacted."
Moss explores "the trend toward more hostility and less support for litigation is noticeable, and the Court's hostility to litigation disproportionately skews outcomes in favor of defendants, most commonly businesses sued by those claiming deprivations of various rights and protections, such as workplace anti-discrimination rights, consumer rights, wage rights, and protection against unlawful competition."
Is the trend likely to continue? Moss believes so especially if the high court, and lower federal courts, continue to include justices with very similar professional backgrounds.
The tougher stance toward litigation and the "pro-defense perspective," is better explained by the current justices' professional backgrounds. The problem, Moss maintains, "is that however varied their ideologies and philosophies, the Justices largely share a negative perception on civil litigation - a shared perspective that may reflect their largely homogenous professional background and experiences." Lower federal courts, Moss writes, also reveal a "similar homogeneity, with little change in the professional profile of the judicial nominees of the Clinton administration and the George W. Bush administration."
The Issue Brief, "Judicial Hostility to Litigation and How It Impairs Legal Accountability for Corporations and Other Defendants," is available here.

Only leave relevant tips about Corpus Christi not a bunch of bull!!! Peep that. My hometown.
Extremely boring town and the Walmart there stinks!!! The HEB is extremely small also.
Isn't this the town that had the big tornado three years ago or so that did a lot of damage? Sorry I was just wondering.
The New Orleans NBA team is no longer called the Hornets. They are now the PELICANS!!!!
Great for your child's teachers for educational field trip. It's very wonderful.

Sandy Hook: Blood on Windows, Screams in School, Parents Screaming
Poster Handle
We are newtown
Post Content
This is real. I live in newtown. I went to the wake of the principal. It was open casket. A 6 year old girl in line in front of me told the police at the door that she saw her teacher dead. Also, sandy hook school did not resume on Tuesday. All other newtown schools did. Those kids are being moved to a new school in a nearby town, they have not gone back to school yet. Fucking idiot, pay some respect instead of wasting your time thinking about how the whole world is against you. Two mothers who lost children are clients of mine. That father on tv was that poor girls REAL father, dick. I have seen these children with their parents in the past long before they were televised. I feel sorry for you that you will never be part of a community like this, you will never know how important it is to be surrounded by love at a heavy time of grief such as this. Also, go fuck yourself.

uk deregulation act allows for possibility of severe limits on regulators' powers March 27, 2015Posted by Bradley in : Uncategorized , add a comment
Section 108 of the UK's Deregulation Act 2015 provides that regulators may be required to "have regard to the desirability of promoting economic growth." What this means is that they must
in particular, consider the importance for the promotion of economic growth of exercising the regulatory function in a way which ensures that—
(a) regulatory action is taken only when it is needed, and (b) any action taken is proportionate.
On the face of it this looks potentially reasonable – it is about encouraging regulators to make sure that regulation is necessary and proportionate (of course regulation should be proportionate and why would you ever want unnecessary regulation). But it isn't clear how these terms are going to be interpreted, or whether the number of potential targets for this approach is small or large (for some concerns, see here). The provision has the potential to cause significant harm to all of the interests regulation is supposed to protect – and this is even before the TTIP regulatory cooperation measures are used to limit regulation. The UK can do it all on its own.

online reviews and endorsements – consultation February 27, 2015Posted by Bradley in : consultation , add a comment
The UK Competition and Markets Authority is "inviting views from consumers, businesses and other interested parties on the use of online reviews and endorsements." The Call for Information states that the concern which motivates the review relates to the trustworthiness and impartiality of some information in reviews and endorsements and says:
This is a fact-finding exercise to increase our knowledge and understanding. It will look at a range of online reviews and endorsements that are accessed by UK consumers, including those on web blogs, video blogs, social media, specialist review sites, trusted trader sites, retail platforms, and retailers' own websites. It will also look at the roles that media companies, online reputation managers and search engine optimisers play in helping businesses to promote their products/services and manage their reputations in relation to these sites.
There are a number of different forms for submission of views. Bloggers are asked to use the blogger form and members of the public are asked to respond via a Respond online link or using the consumer form. I guess bloggers aren't members of the public.

Nahal Ayun
Coordinates: 33°16′11.42″N 35°34′40.26″E / 33.2698389°N 35.5778500°E
Nahal Ayun (Hebrew: נחל עיון, lit. Ayun Stream), is a perennial stream in the Galilee Panhandle, Israel. The stream originates from the springs in the Marjayoun valley in southern Lebanon, and runs southward for seven kilometers in various irrigation ditches, until flowing into Israel near Metulla, as a tributary of the Jordan River in the Hula Valley.[1]
Nature Reserve[edit]
Differences in elevation form waterfalls in the streams course. During the rainy winter months, the water-flow is strongest. During the summer months, water is diverted, closer to the stream's sources, for crop irrigation. These falls were declared a nature reserve,[2] and include:
- Ayun waterfall, 9.2 m
- Tahana waterfall (=flourmill), 21 m
- Eshed waterfall, with two steps, 5 m and 9 m
- Tanur waterfall, 30 m
Flora and fauna[edit]
Tree types in the reserve include Pistacia palaestina, Rhamnus palaestinus, and Acer obtusifolium maple. Other growth includes Spanish broom, rubus, Cyclamen persicum, and Anemones.
Grey wagtails can be found during the winter months, as well as white-throated kingfishers and common kestrels.

Garth Brooks Announces Nebraska Tour Dates
Garth Brooks has announced his first concerts in Nebraska in 17 years.
Garth Brooks has announced his first concerts in Nebraska in 17 years.
Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will gather together some of country music's biggest stars for a very special benefit in April.
Garth Brooks has announced his first performances in the Sacramento area in more than 17 years.
Garth Brooks has revealed plans for his first performances in Detroit in more than 18 years. The superstar and his wife, Trisha Yearwood, are set to perform in the Motor City in February of 2015.
The third cut on Trisha Yearwood's 'PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit' album is called 'I Remember You,' and the singer can't bring herself to listen to it. The lyrics recall memories of her mother, father and so many others she was close to. Then, her husband did something to make it even more personal.
Trisha Yearwood says her song 'PrizeFighter' has become a business anthem for her, as well as a personal one. With women in country music struggling to find radio space, and with the changes in the music business since she released her last album seven years ago, the 50-year-old knows better than to pin her expectations on sales or chart numbers.
Trisha Yearwood is releasing a new album on Monday (Nov. 17), and she's letting Taste of Country readers hear one of the new songs first.
Trisha Yearwood soon make her 'Nashville' debut!
At Game 1 of the World Series last night, Trisha Yearwood sang the National Anthem in all it's glory! Social media blew up with praise. The overwhelming opinion was that Trisha's version was the way the Star Spangled Banner is supposed to be...
Apparently country fans in North Carolina can't get enough of Garth Brooks. Just 10 days after announcing two shows in Greensboro for November, the country superstar has added three more.
Trisha Yearwood has dished up a few samples of her forthcoming 'PrizeFighter: Hit After Hit' album, including the cover and track listing.
Trisha Yearwood won't be forgetting this birthday anytime soon. While out on Garth Brooks' World Tour, her husband and a crowd of 16,000 sang her 'Happy Birthday,' in addition to a few surprises.

Their findings were equally provocative. In 1968, the Society published a map entitled "Where Commuters Run Over Black Children on the Pointes-Downtown Track." Life and death, they argued, were not merely the commodities available to any hard-working American, but hung upon the thread of a special kind of privilege, the privilege of safe territory."

The Paleo-Etiology of Human Skin Tone
Why are Europeans white? "White," of course, is a a social designation. The question really is, "Why are northern Europeans depigmented?" [...] Most people know that it has something to do with sunlight, UV, latitude, and vitamin D. [...] But this explanation fails for Europe. Northern Europeans are lighter than everyone to the south (Mediterraneans), to the east (Mongols and east-Asians), to the west (Native Americans across the Atlantic), and to the North (Inuit, Sammi, Chukchi, Aleut). Clearly, there once was a factor at work in Europe other than dim sunlight. [more inside]

They exist in a complex social setting, and they serve a subtle and consequential purpose. They are proxies for talking about race."
The White City
"Imagine a large corporation with a workforce whose African American percentage far lagged its industry peers, sans any apparent concern, and without a credible action plan to remediate it.

Birth of a Notion
Birth of a Notion: Implicit Social Cognition and the "Birther" Movement asks why 'white Europeans are more "American"' to many people than nonwhite Americans and includes details like this: "Horne was asked to give two concerts at Camp Robinson in Alabama, one to white servicemen, the second to black GIs. But she refused to do the second one when she saw that black Americans were sent to the back of the theater. Who got the good seats up front? German prisoners of war." Institutional Racism Ignored notes "racial bias in conviction rates and length of sentences of both juvenile and criminal courts," "direct discriminatory practices in housing…as well as in mortgage lending," and in the educational system, "racial bias in the type of disciplinary action given to white or minority students." Tucson schools create race-based system of discipline and Tucson Arizona school discipline policy is not racist; Alan Keyes is right address one anti-racist solution. But anyone interested in racial justice should note The Queer, "Racist" Case of the Spank-Happy Judge.
Ten Dollars an Hour
In an area where racial divisions are very stark, the relationships between the "haves" and the "have nots" are very illuminating. Leasse William is a cook at the Sigma Nu fraternity house on the campus of the University of Mississippi. She makes ten dollars an hour. For nine months of pay this equals out at about $15,000/year. This places her well within the over 20% of the population in Mississippi that lives below the poverty line. This mini documentary by Ben Guest about Leasse shines a light on the perspectives of the various actors involved in this drama of racial tensions and class disparity.

Afro-centric public school opening in Toronto
Despite a reputation as an effective multi-cultural city, Toronto continues to have difficulties successfully integrating its communities of African heritage. In response to significantly higher than average high school drop-out rates in those communities, some academics suggested the creation of "black-focused public schools" [PDF] as means of re-engaging black youth with education. Needless to say, this caused debate, controversy, and even anger, but the first afro-centric public elementary school will open this month.

O Black and Unknown Bards - Among Other Things, Regarding The White Invention of The Blues
...The narrative of the blues got hijacked by rock 'n' roll, which rode a wave of youth consumers to global domination. Back behind the split, there was something else: a deeper, riper source. Many people who have written about this body of music have noticed it. Robert Palmer called it Deep Blues. We're talking about strains within strains, sure, but listen to something like Ishman Bracey's ''Woman Woman Blues,'' his tattered yet somehow impeccable falsetto when he sings, ''She got coal-black curly hair.'' Songs like that were not made for dancing. Not even for singing along. They were made for listening. For grown-ups. They were chamber compositions. Listen to Blind Willie Johnson's "Dark Was the Night, Cold Was the Ground.'' It has no words. It's hummed by a blind preacher incapable of playing an impure note on the guitar. We have to go against our training here and suspend anthropological thinking; it doesn't serve at these strata. The noble ambition not to be the kind of people who unwittingly fetishize and exoticize black or poor-white folk poverty has allowed us to remain the kind of people who don't stop to wonder whether the serious treatment of certain folk forms as essentially high- or higher-art forms might have originated with the folk themselves.From Unknown Bards: The blues becomes apparent to itself by one John Jeremiah Sullivan. I came across it while browsing Heavy Rotation: Twenty Writers On The Albums That Changed Their Lives. For Sullivan, that album was American Primitive, Vol. II: Pre-War Revenants (1897 - 1939), which is my favorite CD of the year. Which came out in 2005 while I just got around to buying it this year. Foolish me. It is a piece of art in itself in every respect--all CDs should have such production values. [more inside]

Today, on the last day of this year's term, the Supreme Court of the United States issued its opinion in Ricci v. DeStefano, the latest in the Court's line of decisions on Title VII and the role of race in employment decisions.

Seeing race: the Other-Race Effect
Seeing race: the Other-Race Effect. Why do so many people think people of other races look alike? Babies as young as three months old "tend to recognize faces from their own race better than those from other races," but "babies raised with frequent exposure to people of other races don't develop this early bias." The Other-Race Effect, aka the Cross-Race Effect, "carries practical implications for cases of mistaken eyewitness identification." A follow-up study with Chinese babies confirmed the effect, and notes that it can change: "Korean adults who were adopted by French families during their childhood (aged 3–9 years) demonstrated the same discrimination deficit for Korean faces shown by the native French population." Yes, you have to be carefully taught.

The classic fairy tale of "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" is seeing resurgence in popularity right now. With several movie adaptations due out this year, it's no wonder that The Children's Theatre of Dover and Kent County, Inc., saw several requests for a performance of Snow White this year.
And, Director Pat Parsons-Beetschen was only too happy to oblige. With a large cast, a moral, and a happy ending, Parsons-Beetschen finds fairy tales to be both entertaining and rewarding.
"I think Snow White represents every little girl's dream of finding a prince and everybody's dealt with somebody mean in their family or life," Parsons-Beetschen said. "This story also feeds the notion that you can overcome anything and that true love wins in the end. You always want to believe that true love wins."
Many of the unforgettable, must-have elements of Snow White are there: the seven dwarfs, the Evil Queen, and, of course, the magic mirror. However, The Children's Theater has a few surprises in store for their version of the classic fairy tale.
For instance, the magic mirror is not some stationary wall hanging with a booming voice. This version of the mirror casts 17-year-old Max Harding as a walking, talking reflecting glass.
Harding relishes the opportunity to play the role because the magic mirror is one of the only characters willing to go toe-to-toe with the Evil Queen.
"I get to tell the queen what is really going on even though she gets really angry," Harding said. "But, in the end, I get to tell her about how inner beauty is more than outer beauty and I think that's a really great lesson."
Equally excited about the play and her role in it is Breanna Pierce. Pierce plays Evil Queen and loves every minute, even if her costume makes some of the younger kids take her too seriously.
"It's very, very fun. It's always fun to be evil," Pierce said. "And, she always tries to look good while conquering the world. You also get to bring about a darker side of your personality that you always keep hidden."
15-year-old Abby Silk brings Snow White to life. She said that she's excited to play a character she's grown up with and loves.
"She was my favorite princess growing up," Silk said. "She's so kind and so generous."
The play is not all morals and battles of good versus evil, though. Audiences can expect a lot of laughter as well.
Assistant director Karen Sawicki said that the comedy of the play and the characters is pervasive.
"There's a lot of humor. A lot of unforeseen humor," Sawicki said. "The way that the seven little men welcome Snow White is funny and the magic mirror is funny, too."
Page 2 of 2 - Asstant Director Carol-Ann Harding added that there's quite a bit of physical comedy, too.
"The dwarfs are running around on stage. It's a lot to plan but it really adds to the show," Harding said.
The director and her three assistant directors all agreed that the classic interactive element of children's theater abounds in this play, too, and audiences of all ages will get something out of it.
"These old fairy tales were really just ways to tell stories from village to village in a way that children could relate, too," Parsons-Beetschen said. "So, there's something there for everyone."
