Easter Seals poster child to be featured guest at fund-raiserRiley McClanahan, an Easter Seals poster child who suffered from a brain hemorrhage when he was 2 weeks old, will be a guest at the Salem Easter Seals Walk With Me event Oct. 11 at the Salem City Park.
Salem is one of four cities selected to take part in the event, said Jerry Estes of North Arkansas Electric Cooperative, one of the organizers of the event. He said Easter Seals asked Salem to raise $8,000 to help children with special needs. So far, through corporate sponsors and the proceeds from two yard sales held at the co-op's Salem and Mountain Home offices, around $6,000 has been raised.
Registration for the event begins at 9 a.m. and the walk around the park will follow. Pre-registration is also available at NAEC. The cost for participants is $10 for children and $20 for adults.
Salem students have been busy soliciting donations for the walk. Estes said the class which raises the most money will be given a pizza party and a magic show.
"A lot of families have been affected that Easter Seals has helped," Estes said. The walk will provide the public an opportunity to support an organization that has helped many, he said.
Estes said many from the co-op will be participating in the event and local banks are also helping.
Around 200 people in local neighboring communities have been helped this year, Estes said.
Walk With Me is more than a fund-raiser; it presents an opportunity for communities to unite behind a single mission -- creating solutions that change the lives of children and adults with disabilities, he said.
Some facts about Easter Seals: one in five people have a friend or family member with a disability; 60,000 school children in Arkansas have disabilities; more than 7,900 people in 75 counties across the state were served by Easter Seals Arkansas programs last year; the organization helps children and adults with disabilities gain their greatest level of independence.
Estes said the organization offers services including childhood education, job training and placement, and physical, speech and occupational therapy.
Additional programs include infant monitoring, early Head Start, outpatient therapy, summer day camps, case management and parent support groups.
Estes said 99 percent of all funds raised in Arkansas will stay in the state.
Riley's family from Maumelle have agreed to take part in the event because if the public can put a face to a cause it's easier for them to identify and want to help, said Robert McClanahan, Riley's father.
His child's birth, illness and ongoing recovery has changed his life forever, Mr. McClanahan said.
"Prior to Riley's birth, if you had told me that someday I would have a disabled child and call him the greatest blessing in my life, I would have thought you were absolutely crazy," he said.
Riley was a perfect child when he was born, but two weeks later the McClanahans' perfect world was shattered.
A blood vessel in his brain ruptured, taking a substantial portion of his brain with it, leaving him with physical impairments similar to a massive stroke, McClanahan explained.
The condition is extremely rare with full-term babies, he said. Riley spent the next five weeks at Children's Hospital in Little Rock.
The family questioned why this tragic event occurred. The answers didn't come McClanahan said, until God opened his eyes to an amazing revelation: God transformed his perfect child into a child who brings out perfection in others -- His perfect child, McClanahan said.
Riley's mother, Michelle, a former neo-natal speciality nurse, was qualified to deal with her son's condition, McClanahan said.
When Riley returned home he couldn't do anything; life changed for the McClanahans. "It completely turned our world upside down," McClanahan said.
But when Riley turned 1 and 1/2 a spot opened up for him at the Easter Seal's pre-school program in Little Rock where he receives physical and occupational therapy. "He has come much further than we ever imagined," McClanahan said.
Riley has learned to sit up and feed himself, he can communicate through the use of sign language, he responds to 75 different signs. His latest progress has the whole family excited; he has learned to speak a few words and has taken a few steps with the aid of a walker.
Riley has two sisters and a brother. His disabilities have had an impact on the whole family. His siblings' activities are restricted because of the time involved in taking care of Riley. The family doesn't go on vacations together. If one of the children has an activity one parent chaperons the event while the other parent stays behind to care for Riley.
At times it is hard for Riley's siblings to express themselves but they have learned to be more sensitive, compassionate and tolerant. Riley's sisters worked with their father to write a book called God's Perfect Child, a book about Riley.
The book illustrates the family's feelings toward Riley's handicap. It also expresses how the public views disabilities. The children wrote that sometimes people are afraid of others who are different. Just because someone is disabled doesn't make them scary, the book continues.
"Riley's needs are inescapable," McClanahan said. The family will be facing a major decision in the near future. Next year Riley will either have to be home-schooled or attend a public school. The goal of Easter Seals is to mainstream disabled children in public schools, he said.
But Riley's family is debating if public school is the best choice. He suffers from severe allergies. His father worries that a child could have dairy products on his hands and touch Riley which could cause him to have a reaction.
But some good has come from Riley's affliction. The community and friends supported the family during the ordeal. A group that McClanahan refers to as Riley's Warriors consists of Christian people who have been moved by what God has done for and through Riley, McClanahan said.
Riley's Warriors has not yet been registered as a charitable organization but they do raise money to support work that Easter Seals Arkansas does.
The McClanahans say they have been blessed but that is not always the case with many disabled children's families. "So many have to walk that road alone, McClanahan said. He said Riley's Warriors try to find ways to minister to those families with disabled kids.

More embroidery fun
The sewing room has been sadly unproductive lately. The kids had Spring Break last week, and we had a few sick days before that. I'm getting back into the swing of things now and cut out a tee shirt today. Fortunately, machine embroidery is less time intensive when I'm not also making the garment from scratch.

Extech Pocket IR Thermometer IR201
Extech's Pocket IR Thermometer IR201 is small enough to stow nearly anywhere. But a petite size means you'll have to get right up against the surface you're testing to get a reading. Another big drawback: The device doesn't give accurate readouts. Unfortunately our consumer testers didn't find it comfortable to use either, but the low price may be a selling point. extech.com.
Type of device: Probe
Reviewed: January 2010
Price When Reviewed: $60.00
- Very durable
- Fairly lightweight
- Customer service was helpful
- Readouts were not as accurate as other models in our test
- Small temperature range
- Low distance-to-spot ratio, meaning you need to be closer to a surface area to measure it
- Consumer testers found it somewhat uncomfortable to use, giving placement of controls low marks
- Customer service was slow to answer our call

The Best
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: For heat control, aluminum is the only choice for me, This has it.
Cons: None really, I have 3 of these. I had a switch go out on one after a few yrs. But it was easy to replace. Was just from usage, not a bad part.
Other Thoughts: The only case I look at when doing a new build.
Did you find this review helpful?
Nice Basic Case
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: The build quality is fantastic, with well machined parts that fit snugly together (no rattles!), and have no sharp edges. The drive bays are very well designed, and keep the HDDs silent. No quality control issues and no skimping on the parts.
Cons: Airflow is decent, but it's not designed to house a high end gaming machine that is overclocked and has more than one GPU.
Did you find this review helpful?
Good Case
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Good airflow. Quiet fans. Nice HDD trays. Made of aluminum (giant heatsink). No sharp edges. Motherboard tray is not removable but nicely labeled.
Cons: Seems very light and thin. The quality/durability is not as good as my old aluminum cooler master ATCS. I have used Lian Li cases before though and you really can't go wrong with Lian Li.
Other Thoughts: Would buy again.

Big, Bigger, WATCH OUT
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: I do like the case, Very spacious with plentr of room for lengthy CABLES. The Aluminum keeps very cool, no sharp edges or corners makes installation very easy. Lian Li quality. Fans are OK, but may need replacing with faster fans.
Cons: My only gripes are the size of the case (my fault) the side panels are a bit thin, actually they are almost paper thin. Not really a con in terms of quality. When working you just have to be careful. If you bang your case around a lot, than don't buy. Make sure your computer desk/station has enough room because length will be a minor problem.
Other Thoughts: Overall I think the case is very good for the price. Lots of room, if you have a Corsair 750 tx and worried about cables all over the place this case can handle it. After building I realized why they made the case light. The Aluminum sides, especially the motherboard side keeps very cool.
Did you find this review helpful?
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Lack of top vent to spill a drink into. No akward switches or panels up top either (matter of taste over other models). The new ventilated bezels look great. Globes for the LEDs are much more subtle and better located than previous midtowers, and the LED's themselves are very easy to access and replace if you don't like the color or brightness (they are blue for power and red for hdd, bright but the smaller globes mute this quite a bit). 120mm front and rear fans mounts. Stock fans are about 1000 RPM and very quiet, with 3 pin headers and included molex adapters.
Cons: 3 pin power switch header, with the middle pin unused. This is becoming a less and less common pinout on motherboards. I just moved the appropriate lead over and clipped the excess off with dykes. Double check your motherboard's front panel pinout first obviously.
Other Thoughts: In response to some of the other reviews:
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you?
I should've expected it...
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Super light construction allows this case to have close to zero vibrations. Excellent construction, but didn't expect anything less than coming from Lian Li. I knew exactly what I wanted when I ordered (the three 3.5" drive bays in particular), and totally satisfied.
Cons: Some people may not care for the standard fans that are mounted near the hard drives and the CPU heatsink (exhaust); I'm sure I'll change them down the road, but they're doing just fine.
Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a case around this price point, I'm sure there are others that will look more efficient and better value, but I doubt there are. I have yet to be disappointed by a Lian Li case. They receive such high recognition for a reason.
0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: Beautiful brushed aluminum. Easy access to hard drives and PSU. Metal motherboard mounts (rather than the stupid plastic things you see everywhere). Anti-vibration pads for hard drives and case fans
Cons: Non-standard thumbscrew threads. 5.25" bays lack guides. Anti-vibration consideration to the PSU mount would have been nice
Other Thoughts: They must have had interns working on the 5.25" bays as their thoughtlessness contradicts the rest of the case's craftsmanship.

sleek looking, pretical and the best value of all Lian-Li case
This review is from: LIAN LI PC-E8B Black Aluminum ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Pros: the HD rack opens to side panel, it is easy to install and access. Removable HD tray is fun and stable carries HD. It is as easy as open box and close box. behind 120mm fan is designed for 3 HD rack. it gives better air flow then 4 HD in case you do not need as much as 4. Easy access fan, if you need to change fan.
Cons: compare with all the aluminum or hybrid cases, it is the best price and the best value, to buy

I Am Not Alone
Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within.

Will you look like Daddy or me?
Ten little fingers and ten little toes,
A wrinkled up forehead and a cute button nose.
You will be crying with that first cold touch,
And so will I because I love you so much.
Wendy Dahlke
Life is tough enough without having someone kick you from the inside.
Rita Rudner
Think of stretch marks as pregnancy service stripes.
Joyce Armor
There are three reasons for breast-feeding: the milk is always at the right temperature; it comes in attractive containers; and the cat can't get it.
Irena Chalmers
In the pregnancy process I have come to realize how much of the burden is on the female partner. She's got a construction zone going on in her belly.
Al Roker
The breasts go first, and then the waist and then the butt. Nobody ever tells you that you get a butt when you get pregnant.
Elle Macpherson
No language can express the power and beauty and heroism of a mother's love.
Edwin H. Chapin
There is no friendship, no love, like that of a mother for her child.
Henry Ward Beecher
~ Feeling fat last nine months but the joy of becoming a mom lasts forever ~
~ Whether your pregnancy was meticulously planned, medically coaxed, or happened by surprise, one thing is certain -- your life will never be the same ~
If pregnancy were a book they would cut the last two chapters. ~Nora Ephron, Heartburn, 1983
It is said that the present is pregnant with the future. ~Voltaire

Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first

Small caps have the ability to produce huge returns for
investors. These young companies with innovative ideas and
personnel pose a huge threat to industry leaders with the ability
to adjust quickly to dynamic markets.
Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN)
is a great example.
Back in the late 1990s, the company blazed a trail in e-commerce
by creating a platform for consumers to buy goods online.
Traditional brick-and-mortar retailers like
Wal-Mart (
Sears Holdings (Nasdaq: SHLD)
were slow to respond to the new online paradigm, enabling Amazon
to capture themarket and catapult to a $120 billion valuation.
These are the kind of innovative companies Andy Obermueller
profiles in his
newsletter. Take a look at the biggain below.
Of course, small caps don't always grow into global mega-caps.
Many small caps fall victim to overly ambitious growth
projections or a severe lack of demand. And that can lead to huge
losses for investors.
A123 Systems (
is a great example of small-cap business risk. This company
specializes in lithium-ion batteries and was hot after its April
2011IPO . But with demand coming in much weaker than expected,
the company quickly took a nosedive, withshares falling into the
pennies and creating a 100% loss for investors.
Small caps can deliver biggains , but they can also create
big-time losses. That's why I like to look at what I consider to
be one of the most important indicators when evaluating small-cap
Small caps with heavyinsider ownership send a big message to the
market and investors.
The first is that management is putting itsmoney where its mouth
is. Part of management's job description is to bebullish onsales
. It doesn't do management any good to present abearish
disposition to the Street. But actual inside ownership enables
investors to evaluate howinsiders really feel about company
High inside ownership is a clear indication that management is
bullish on growth -- and has actual skin in the game. This
creates a clear financial incentive that directly ties
compensation to company success. That aligns the interests of the
board, management and shareholders.
That's why I always check inside ownership when evaluating new
small-cap opportunities. Below is a list of seven small caps from
the Small Cap 600Index with high inside ownership.
From the list, I'm highlighting
Boston Beer Co. (
because of its strong upward momentum and
Hi-Tech Pharmacal (Nasdaq: HITK)
for its compelling valuation.
Boston Beer Co.
Boston Beer Co. has seen big gains in the pastyear , with shares
up a market-beating 42%.
That upward momentum has been driven by steady growth in the
both sales andearnings , with the brewer of the popular Samuel
Adams beer successfully navigating a tepid consumer environment
and highercommodity costs.

Analysts are projecting full-year earnings of $4.98 a share in
2013, up 10% from last year, and earnings growth of 13% in 2014.
Shares currently trade with a forward price-to-earnings (P/E )
ratio of 30, just below the 10-year high of 33.
But what Boston Beer Co. lacks in value, it makes up for in
momentum, with shares looking strong on the chart despite the
higher valuation. Inside ownership of 36% shows that management
is invested in the success of the company.
Hi-Tech Pharmacal
Hi-Tech Pharmacal is a specialty pharmaceutical company that
develops, makes and sells generic and branded drugs in the United
Although shares are down 5% on the year, Hi-Tech Pharmacal is
up 270% in the past five years. Those are the kind of outsize
gains that small caps can produce as they grow into mid- andlarge
caps .
Hi-Tech Pharmacal's gains have been driven by earnings growth,
pushing the company's share price into value territory despite
its gains. With a forward P/E of 11, the stock trades at a
discount to its 10-year average of 13 and its peer average of 25.
The inside ownership percentage stands at 18%.
Risks to Consider:
Small caps are more volatile than mid- and large caps. In a
highly competitive environment, some small capswill go out of
Action to Take -->
Small caps are companies in the early stages of growth and have
the ability to produce big gains. But small caps are also known
for volatility. That's why I like small caps with big inside
ownership. These seven small caps have the highest inside
ownership in the Small Cap 600 Index, meaning the interests of
management and investors are aligned.

PR: Milk producers' interests put on the back burner in the new Milk Package
The European Commission, Parliament and Council of Ministers' agreement on the Milk Package totally ignores the milk producers' situation
Brussels/Hamm, 7 December 2011: "The European milk producers are deeply disappointed", is the comment made by Romuald Schaber, President of the European Milk Board (EMB), on the current upshot of negotiations between the Commission, Parliament and Council of Ministers on the reform of the dairy market. The resolutions they have taken have missed the target of strengthening the producers' position by a long shot.
Schaber: "If contracts between producers and the dairy are not obligatory throughout the EU, and instead every country decides on its own whether to introduce them on a compulsory basis or not, then it is simply impossible to improve the European producers' position in the market." Moreover, since the political resolutions passed on 6 December stipulate that members of co-operatives are not allowed to enter into any contracts at all, dairy co-operatives will, he goes on, continue to be able to exert merciless pressure on prices.
Another severe problem, he says, is that of limiting the pooling of producers to bargain jointly with dairies to 3.5 per cent (European level) and 33 per cent (national level). That is because the market share of many dairies already exceeds these pooling limits many times over. Producer organisations, which have been restricted in size, have to negotiate with these giant dairies without any real say in the market.
"This so-called compromise with the Commission and the Council of Ministers has hammered these proposals put forward by the European Parliament to an incredible extent", says Schaber. For the final resolutions passed by the three EU institutions have ditched not only the higher national pooling limit of 40 per cent of the national milk volume and the obligatory contracts throughout the EU but also the monitoring agency originally proposed by the MEPs.
The fact that, under the compromise, cheese manufactured as protected designation of origin (PDO) or protected geographical indication (PGI) may possibly be subject to control of supply, is, according to Schaber, unfortunately nothing more than a scanty cover-up. As Schaber says: "Supply management must apply to the entire milk market, otherwise everyone, the producers in particular, will be careering towards the next crisis."

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak with the Deputy Foreign Minister Datuk Hamzah Zainuddin (right) during the dialogue session after deliver his keynote adress at the national colloquium on Malaysia's Chairmanship of Asean 2015.
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will focus on boosting the Asean secretariat coffers as it spearheads an initiative to establish a "One Asean for All" inclusive policy.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said proper funding and resources were vital for Asean institutions, including the secretariat, as more countries express a wish to engage the regional grouping.
Describing the current members' annual contribution of US$1.7mil (RM5.61mil) each to the Asean secretariat as pittance, the Prime Minister called on them to contribute more on a voluntary basis.
"And all members would have equal power to decide how these additional funds are to be utilised," he said when opening the National Colloquium on Malaysia's chairmanship of Asean 2015.
Najib said Malaysia would be the centre of attention next year when the Asean Community was established. People-centred Asean is next year's theme.
"A people-centred Asean will be a sharper instrument for the realisation of our people's dreams for a more effective and responsive governance, better standards of living, strengthened environment protection, further empowerment for women and greater opportunity for all.
"We want to build an Asean which reflects the dreams of our people, is at ease with itself and ready to contribute positively to global affairs," he added.
Najib also said the MH370 crisis had accentuated the need for Asean-led institutions, including the East Asia Summit, to explore new ways of promoting cooperation in search and rescue operations.
"So that we are better prepared when tragedy strikes," he said.
"The creation of strong, robust and efficient Asean institutions would also be a priority for Malaysia."
Najib also outlined four chal-lenges for Asean in the post 2015 period.
"First we need to address the gap between the 'Asean-way' and rule-based approaches.
"Secondly, Asean goals must be expressed in more concrete and operational terms," he said.
Najib said the third was to ensure Asean's achievements and significance were widely known.
Najib said a survey by the Asean secretariat in 2012 showed that only 34% of Malaysians had heard of the Asean Community, compared with 96% of Laotians.
He said the fourth challenge was to strengthen coordination and coherence to promote efficiency and avoid duplication.

Insurer Competition in Health Care Markets
Kate Ho, Robin S. Lee
NBER Working Paper No. 19401
We analyze the impact of insurer competition on health care markets using a model of premium setting, hospital-insurer bargaining, household demand for insurance, and individual demand for hospitals. Increased insurer competition may lead to lower premiums; it may also increase health providers' leverage to negotiate higher prices, thereby mitigating premium reductions. We use detailed California admissions, claims, and enrollment data from a large benefits manager. We estimate our model and simulate the removal of an insurer from consumers' choice sets. Although premiums rise and annual consumer surplus falls by $50-120 per capita, hospital prices and spending fall in certain markets as remaining insurers negotiate lower rates. Overall, the impact on negotiated prices is heterogeneous, with increases or decreases of up to 15% across markets. We conclude that insurer competition can increase consumer surplus but also generate a redistribution of rents across hospitals and greater medical spending in certain markets.

First Listen: Speedy Ortiz, 'Major Arcana'
Loading the player ...
Audio for this feature is no longer available.
There are just too many quotable quotables from
Speedy Ortiz
's debut album, so let's cut to the
raison d'être
from "Tiger Tank": "My mouth is a factory for every toxic part of speech I spew."
Major Arcana
, out July 9, is a lot of things: awkward, vulnerable, heavy, hilarious. But above all, to use the parlance of the band's Massachusetts home, it's wicked smart. Guitarist and singer Sadie Dupuis is a UMass-Amherst MFA poetry student, sure, but there's more to Speedy Ortiz than that: This solo-moniker-turned-band is like a gummy double-helix, twisting sweet-and-sour words around contorted, '90s-inspired indie-rock.
Dupuis is spectacular at the wordy take-down that you only get a few minutes later. "Pioneer Spine" is for wishy-washy friends — "All you got is spineless sound / I want the truth, even if I gotta rip it from you" — heavy on distorted
Dinosaur Jr.
vibes and hefty
harmonics. With a bendy and bouncy riff out of
The Breeders
, the two-minute "Fun" skewers unchecked machismo. And the jangly/sludgy "Tiger Tank" is an awkward kiss-off pop song that bares teeth.
But for all her sweet-toothed seething, it's Dupuis' own self-deprecating, sometimes vulnerable sense of self that keeps
Major Arcana
honest. Some lyricists hide behind non sequiturs while others spell everything out, but Dupuis, like anyone who's dealt with codependent relationships (romantic or otherwise), knows it's more complicated than that.
Toward the back of the album, "Cash Cab" and "Plough" dish out a chaotic and inward one-two punch. The former comes barreling out of the early-'90s noise-rock Amphetamine Reptile catalog — ugly and gnarled, belligerent on single-note bends and empty threats. "I wanna be with somebody just like me / Someone who laughs at a crashed car rental." The latter's title is a crude yet effective euphemism for you-know-what and the jerk who treats it as such: "I was never the witch that you made me to be / Still, you picked a virgin over me." Dupuis writes lyrics that ought to be scrawled on notebooks and bathroom walls by every disaffected high-school kid, right before the inevitable trip to the counselor's office.
Still, amid Speedy Ortiz's slingshot tension, there's a tenderness to "No Below" that's almost hard to hear. Dupuis' voice trembles when she sings, "Spent the summer on crutches and everybody teased / except for this one friend I almost forgot." With a lanky guitar melody that Dupuis mimics with her voice, it's the most
-y moment on an album that will inevitably get compared to Stephen Malkmus and company. (After all, she does front Babement, which is exactly what you think it is.) But unlike Pavement's music, with its cool distance,
Major Arcana
is intimately entangled in its explosive coils and bends.

Read "Forward Through Ferguson: A Path Toward Racial Equality"
The report was issued on Monday by the Ferguson Commission, a diverse 16-member volunteer group charged with looking at Ferguson and beyond, post-Michael Brown's death.
I've started my way back through it a second time, and I have to tell you, the report takes a deep dive into race and makes, by its own count, 189 calls to action. This is one of the most important documents on race that I've read in the recent past, and it includes lines such as:
…make no mistake: this is about race.
The law says all citizens are equal. But the data says not everyone is treated that way.
I find this incredibly moving and am including it in the reading I've assigned for a class I'm teaching at Central Connecticut State University. You owe it to yourself to read it, as well.
This report comes in addition to the earlier report on the Ferguson police department, from the Department of Justice.

How Section 8 became a slur
In the recent McKinney, Texas, pool fight that resulted in charges of police brutality and one police officer quitting the force, one of the slurs yelled by white residents included Section 8 housing.
Here's Vox's take on what that means. And here's the Washington Post's Wonkblog, which contains this gem:
In a broad sense, this is an American tradition: conflating where people live with who they are. "We've been doing that as a society for a really, really long time," says Lawrence Vale, an MIT professor who has written extensively about public housing. "And it's been racialized for a lot of that history."
Fascinating, yes? And thanks, Ebony, for the link.

I wrote this for Mother Courant on Sunday
After talking to Bishop John Selders, of Kinloch, Missouri, and pastor at Hartford's Amistad Congregational Church, I realized he was making some excellent points: People who express surprise or dismay about the protests surrounding the mysterious death of African American men at the hand of some police officers really should read their Declaration of Independence.

Mr. Scott didn't deserve this (NSFW)
Feidin Santana, the man who recorded the shooting death of Walter Scott, 50, in North Charleston, S.C., by a police officer, said, "Mr. Scott didn't deserve this." The death of Mr. Scott, who is black, came after a traffic stop.
The police officer, Michael T. Slager, who is white, has been charged with murder. Both men had served in the Coast Guard.

Sometimes? You just have to say no.
Some Atlanta police officers and movers refused to foreclose on a 103-year old woman and her 83-year old daughter. Their mortgage holder, Deutsche Bank (more on them here) — in collaboration with local lender Chase, which just got its credit rating lowered by Standard & Poor's — got this message from Vita Lee:
"Please don't come in and disturb me no more. When I'm gone you all can come back and do whatever they want to."
Deutsche Bank relented and issued a second mortgage, in the face of seeing just how ugly such an eviction would be. That, and the public exposure might have moved them toward a change of heart.
