They've no doubt noticed that consumers push aside their turkey dinners long enough to shop.
Macy's, Target, Kohl's and Best Buy have all announced they will launch their Black Friday sales as the clock strikes midnight on Thanksgiving Day night, hoping to gain an advantage over rivals in the intense day-after-Thanksgiving competition. It won't help them compete with online retailers on Thanksgiving Day itself, however.
And Thanksgiving Day is becoming a more important online shopping day, as consumers become increasingly accustomed to having easy access to the Internet at home. Not only will 77% of U.S. homes have broadband Internet subscriptions by 2012, according to research firm Gartner, but Wi-Fi is increasingly the norm. Lounging on the couch with your laptop or iPad and browsing the web during commercial breaks of football games, or while waiting for the turkey to finish, promises to turn into as much of a ritual as loosening your belt after that extra slice of pie.
That trend showed up in the U.S. online sales numbers from last Thanksgiving Day: $407 million, up a hefty 28% from the previous year, according to web measurement firm comScore Inc.
Web retailers have the advantage of not having to dragoon legions of employees to staff physical stores to make those sales. Their web platforms do most of the work without human intervention. Hands-free selling is turning into a big advantage as shoppers become accustomed to being able to buy at any time of day or night, wherever they happen to be.
Naturally, the retail chains that have made huge investments in their bricks-and-mortar stores will compete more intensely for consumers' dollars this holiday season, and will try to turn their stores to their advantage. For instance, Barnes & Noble plans to devote more space in its stores to demonstrating its Nook reader and new Nook tablet, hoping to draw consumers away from the comparable devices sold by Amazon.com, which has no physical stores.
The challenge for Amazon, and for all online retailers, is to get around their inability to make a face-to-face presentation to consumers. How-to videos and live chat are just two of the ways e-retailers can overcome that obstacle. Live chat does require a human to be available, although that employee can chat from home while stirring the gravy. And the great thing about a video is that the people who make it can be gathered around the Thanksgiving table while the video they created sells products to a world of online shoppers.

You Want Fries With That Web Site?
By BONNIE ROTHMAN MORRIS
Published: February 25, 1999
ARON LEIFER has all the trappings of a businessman worth more than a million dollars. He has invested in a marina in London and a rental property in Rhode Island. He has a stock portfolio. He pays a driver $850 weekly to ferry him around New York in his 1998 Infiniti Q45. But Mr. Leifer has something most moguls do not have: a mother who frequently checks his E-mail for pornography. Aron Leifer is 18 years old.
Mr. Leifer, of Borough Park, Brooklyn, is about four years ahead of Steve Jobs, the Apple co-founder who became a multimillionaire in his early 20's. Bill Gates had to wait until he was 30 to join the millionaires' club. Mr. Leifer said he hoped to take his computer software company, Multi Media Audiotext, public within six months and join the rank of the multimillionaires. He quit school, a yeshiva, at the age of 16 and now works 14-hour days serving clients around the globe, including Bell Atlantic, Hewlett Packard, Fleet Bank and many telecommunications and Internet marketing companies. Mr. Leifer is the latest in a quickly growing group of young people, most of them young men, getting rich from their computer businesses.
Before he started his company, Mr. Leifer hadn't earned a dime in his life. ''I have never, ever done anything, not even baby-sitting, that people do when they are my age, that generated money,'' he said. ''Almost all my family are people that work for someone else.'' Mr. Leifer studies the Talmud two hours a day with a rabbi he hired to tutor him privately, and both his father and grandfather are Hasidic rabbis. But at 18, Mr. Leifer is, as his Web site denotes, a technology master (www.technologymaster .com) who writes software for things like database management and computer phone systems.
Mr. Leifer is exceptional, even compared with other get-rich-quick kids. But the Internet has spawned a group of teen-agers who think nothing of setting up on-line versions of yesteryear's lemonade stands.
Many of these entrepreneurs have followed a similar path. Their first computers were purchased for the usual reasons: the parents or child wanted one. What happened next is also consistent from child to child. Once their fingertips touched down on those keyboards, they started to build better mousetraps almost immediately, either by writing programs or designing their own Web sites for fun. Finally, someone, usually an adult, told them that they could make some money selling what they knew.
That is what Jay Leibowitz of Northridge, Calif., who turned 17 earlier this month, said he had done to make his first $30,000 or $40,000. At the time of that first big success, Mr. Leibowitz was 14. When he was 12, he taught himself a programming language, Visual Basic, and used it to write two software programs, one for running DOS commands in Windows and another that allowed the user to edit batch files, which contain series of instructions for a computer to follow.
Mr. Leibowitz put the software he designed onto Compuserve in its shareware area. Users who downloaded the program and liked it sent Mr. Leibowitz checks. The big money came when he sold the rights to the shareware to ''some guy whose name I forget,'' he said.
Instead of using the profits to buy a new snowboard, a set of golf clubs or any other toy a 14-year-old boy might crave, Mr. Leibowitz plunged his earnings directly into the stock market. In two and a half years, he said, he has quadrupled his money and now estimates his net worth at $120,000. Now, for fun and a little profit (about $1,200 a month), he runs an advertiser-supported site called Streetwhiz (www.streetwhiz.com), which teaches investing basics and is aimed at young people.
Mr. Leibowitz's mother, Carolyn, who is a nurse, recently asked him about the viability of investing in municipal bonds. Mr. Leibowitz is looking into his mother's query. He heard in December that he had not been admitted to Harvard under its early admission program but was being considered in its pool of regular-admission applicants.
''The reason so many kids are in computer-generated businesses is because they have the edge over the adult population,'' said Marilyn Kourilsky, vice president of the Ewing Marion Kauffman Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership in St. Louis and a former economics professor at the University of California at Los Angeles who has done extensive research on entrepreneurship and youth. ''These kids were brought up on computers. The smart kid in school you wouldn't buy Girl Scout cookies from can now sell you a lot while wearing his pajamas, not having brushed his teeth and surrounded by 25 bags of potato chips.'' These youngsters do not need to have the social graces of skilled business people, she added; they are anonymous entrepreneurs.
''I was the archetypal computer nerd,'' said Dan Finley, a college freshman from Federal Way, Wash., who started a Web site to review computer hardware, called The View (www.the-view.com), when he was 16. (Mr. Finley turned 18 on Jan. 23, he said proudly.)
He has encountered some bumps along the way. A company once sent Mr. Finley a $6,000 printer to review, but his computer was too puny to make the printer work properly.

Oklahoma football: What they're saying after the loss to Notre Dame
NORMAN — What they're saying after Notre Dame beat Oklahoma 30-13 on Saturday night.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops on missed opportunities: "We had it in the end zone, and again, it's a judgment call. They call holding. Those are frustrating situations. but that's the way it is. We didn't get the calls."
Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly on the defense: "It's been a consistent part of why we're here. ... We have structured the game plan to keep the points down. We were willing to give up yardage in the passing game today to keep the points down."
Oklahoma center Gabe Ikard on the fumbled snap in the first quarter: "We changed the play and there was miscommunication between myself and Landry. I snapped it when I normally snap it, and nothing good came from that. That was a huge drive kill for our team. On the first drive we were really rolling, and it's unfortunate that it happened. We eventually got that worked out though."
Oklahoma backup QB Blake Bell on the team coming back: "Like Coach Stoops was saying tonight was a nonconference, and huge game, for Oklahoma. Everyone would have loved to get the victory, but we can't stop competing or stop giving everything that we have, everyday at practice. All we can do is get ready for Iowa State."
Notre Dame QB Everett Golson on his thoughts after the tying touchdown: "Zero to zero again. I never really try to have the scoreboard influence what I feel. I'm not the type of guy to fumble under pressure. My whole goal was to show everyone that we could do this."

Father of dead jail inmate accuses deputies of killing son
The last time Jose Gomez spoke to his son was on March 24, when he called from the Orange County Jail.
"Dad, please don't hang up,'' said 35-year-old Jason Gomez during the conversation. "This officer here is going to kill me."
But the 61-year-old father said he got off the line, in order to call police for help. He found out his son -- serving a 90-day sentence for violating probation on a marijuana charge - was taken to the jail's medical ward.
Officials say Gomez was being given medication when he attacked a nurse and spat on deputies on March 25. Deputies used physical force and a Taser to subdue him. Gomez stopped breathing, and was sent to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana. The Anaheim construction worker fell into a coma, and died last week after being removed from life support.
The Orange County District Attorney's office - which released a scathing grand jury investigation that included reports of abuse of inmates by sheriff's deputies - is probing the death. Autopsy results are pending.
During a Los Angeles news conference Tuesday, Jose Gomez called the sheriff's story a lie, saying deputies murdered his son. "Why would he call me the day before and say he feared for his life? It makes no sense,'' the father said. "I just want to make sure nothing like this happens to anyone else."
Jose Gomez, a landlord who resides in Beaumont, is paying for an independent autopsy of his son's body - which also was being conducted Tuesday.
At the news conference, Jose Gomez handed out photos of his son's Taser injuries - taken days before Jason Gomez was removed from life support. In the photos, Jason Gomez lies in a hospital bed, appearing lifeless.
Referring to the jail as the "Orange County dungeon," his attorney, Stephen Bernard, said he intends to file a wrongful death claim against the sheriff's department tomorrow. He also said he would ask the United States Department of Justice and the FBI to also investigate the death.
"It's very telling that Orange County jails have so many deaths, beatings and tortures,'' said Bernard, who is also representing former inmate Matthew Ryan Fleuret, who is suing the sheriff's department after deputies stunned him with a Taser in March 2006.
Gomez is the second inmate to die after being stunned with a Taser in Orange County Jail. Michael Patrick Lass, 28, died last October after a confrontation with deputies who used a Taser gun to subdue him at the county's Intake Release Center.
Former inmates who have survived such incidents are filing lawsuits. Besides Fleuret, Liza Munoz is suing in federal court after deputies stunned her with a Taser while she was in Orange County Jail in September 2004. A hearing in her case is scheduled for April 28.
Paul Heidenreich, who is helping Bernard represent Gomez and Fleuret, said he intends to use a Grand Jury report released Monday that is critical of Orange County's jails as evidence in the lawsuits.
At the news conference, Bernard called for jail deputies also to be held criminally accountable for the incidents.
"You don't see this happening in Los Angeles county jails. There is something wrong in Orange County,'' he said.

Martin McCauley
Leonid Brezhnev died on 10 November 1982, but the announcement of his death was withheld from the Soviet and international public until II November. The same day, a funeral commission was formed headed by Yuri Andropov. This was the first clear sign that Andropov and his supporters were better organised than Konstantin Chernenko and his men. A day later, Andropov was elected Secretary General of the Central Committee ( CC) of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union at a special CC plenum. The speed with which Andropov took over was in marked contrast to the slow pace of decision-making during the last years of Brezhnev's rule. However, Andropov, at 68 years of age, is the oldest man ever to have been elected to lead the party and is a full ten years older than Brezhnev was when he assumed party leadership in October 1964.
Does this mean that the new Soviet leadership should be viewed as an interim leadership, one which is unlikely to survive the 1980s? Will the new leaders settle for consensus, or will they attempt solutions to some of the Soviet Union's pressing problems? Is it likely that the younger generation of leaders, held back so frustratingly long by Brezhnev's tenacious hold on power, will now be able to force their way to the forefront? Or will those who feel that a thoroughgoing economic reform, high on the agenda of the new leadership, could imperil their power and privileges be able to render such a reform, and all other changes, void? Will the conflict of generations merely mean a continuation of Brezhnev's policy of muddling through?
It is worth looking at the evolution of the Soviet political system before attempting to analyse the present and see into the future.
When the Bolsheviks seized power in October 1917, a majority of the population was in favour of revolution. It soon became clear that Lenin had different ideas from many of the other Bolshevik leaders, not to mention the population, about which direction the revolution should take. For Lenin, power rested with the proletariat, or working class. The Bolshevik party was its vanguard and therefore had the right to map out the route to socialism. The gulf between the aspirations of the working class, as expressed by party and non-party members alike, and the Bolshevik party leadership widened during the Civil War of 1918— 20, and in 1921, a dismayed Lenin declared that the Russian working class 'had ceased to exist as a proletariat'.

I've read many threads that suggest changing the mountain bike tires to HIGH PRESSURE SLICKS. The question is, at my weight, what tire pressure is considered high for a 26 inch wheel? Some suggest skinny high pressure tires such as 1.5 width, again will this do at my weight. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Road & track card candy
Sunday, 20 April 2014
I wanted to make some car punch art and construction type vehicles for my son's scrapbook album.
I started with the stamps from 'Rev it up' stamp set and added a couple of extra bits as well...
The chequered flags are made from one of the six sided sampler stamps and punched out with the banner punch. The traffic lights are punched with the half inch circle punch. The red and yellow light have a vellum circle laid over top to tone down the colour and the green light is highlighted with a white gel pen.
Making the traffic lights made me think of loads of other road signs so this is what I made next...
Punches used: hexagon, 1 1/4" square, 1 3/8" square, 1" circle, 1 1/4" circle, 1 3/8" circle, cup cake builder, pennant (each side was trimmed slightly) and banner punch to make the black arrow in the 65 sign.
I got carried away making signs and I didn't use them all on this card candy embellishment pack. I put some onto cards that I made, like this arrow on my next card.
Concrete Mixer
Uses 1 1/4" square for the cab, owl punch for the mixer and 1/2" circles for the wheels.
Dump Truck
I was pleased how this turned out and it was very easy to make...
Uses 1 3/8" square real red card - (you can use a word window punch to punch out a "bite" into one side of the square and then round edges to make truck bonnet), 1 1/2" high x 1 3/4"" wide piece of crushed curry card, trim one of the 1 3/4" sides to 1 1/4" wide and taper it to meet the top edge. Add some diagonal score lines. Adhere a 2" x 2/8" strip of card to the top. The overhanging piece should be opposite the tapered edge. 1" circles make the wheel arches, 1/2" black circles make the tires and boho blossom flowers (with the petals trimmed) make the hubcaps.
Stamp sets used are Gorgeous Grunge and Banner Blast.
Undefined Stamping
Wednesday, 09 April 2014
Stampin' Up! has a kit for sale that lets you create your own rubber stamps.
I must admit I was nervous to try this, as it sounded tricky to do but it is not at all.
In fact it is a lot of fun and takes me back to my school days of making lino tiles for printing.
The hardest thing is coming up with the ideas of what image to carve your rubber block into. The rubber is easy to carve with the tools provided in the pack.
This is the first one that I did at Stamp Camp.
I was rather proud of my creation and had it out to show my class ladies, but I neglected to put it away safely afterwards and the dog got it! He ate the beak off and put teeth marks in the kiwi's bum! I was not happy!
Here is the culprit. Looking very innocent...
Starting over, my next attempt was an easter chick:
I made a bit of the mess with the pupils in it's eyes so I added them with a black marker afterwards. Which worked fine, thankfully.
Here is another example of undefined stamping, made by my sister and fellow demonstrator, Delwyn McPherson:
Pretty cute turtle, I reckon.
Finally, here is a stamped image that my daughter-in-law had carved for her wedding invites. If she had known about undefined stamping 18 months ago, then she could have carved her own.
If you live in the Waikato or Bay of Plenty area in New Zealand and you would like to have a go at making your own personal rubber stamp, then check out my classes for undefined stamping this month.

Versatile Vellum
Sunday, 30 March 2014
You can treat Stampin' Up's vellum card just like ordinary cardstock. You can dry emboss it, heat emboss, stamp on it, sponge it and colour it with markers. The only thing that you need to remember is that ink takes a little longer to dry on vellum.
Easter Card
The vellum flowers give a nice soft touch to this card, which could easily be turned into a wedding, sympathy or baptism card, by just changing up the words.
Wedding Invitation
This is a simple card to make, yet the vellum gives it an elegant touch which makes it suitable for a wedding invite.
You can see more vellum ideas on my post from the 18th November 201.

Final Days of Sale-A-Bration

Petal Parade
I love this stamp set. It is one of the 'free bees' that you can choose, when you spend NZ$110 on Stampin' Up! product. This special finishes at the end of March. Contact me to find out more about the free product offers.
I was recently teaching at a big craft day in Tauranga and used the petal parade stamps to make tags for my customer's goodie bags. (The button is made from simply pressed clay.The background chervon pattern is made by inking up the chervon embossing folder and pressing it onto the card.)
And again on their sweet treat boxes...
The word stamps on both the above photos are from the "Oh Goodie" stamp set.
Spiral Flowers
Wednesday, 12 March 2014
Highlights from Stamp Camp
A couple of weekends ago I was able to have a blissful weekend away, with my fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrators, at Stamp Camp.
It was such a lot of fun and so nice being the pupil instead of the teacher.
We got very spoilt with wonderful projects and some awesome welcome gifts. One was on my pillow when I arrived and was made by Julia Leece. (It contained chocolate, yum!)
The other was at my crafting table and was made by Jacque Williams. It was a mini milkbottle filled with milkshake lollies. You may have seen it on Jacque's website but if not... here it is
The dark pink rose is made with the new spiral flower die.
Trio of Roses
Here is a gorgeous swap I received recently from Karen Williamson in Tauranga, which features more flowers made from this die.
I do not have the spiral flower die yet but it is on order. The flowers are so quick and easy to make.
Word Gap Card
I used scallop circle punches instead to make the roses on my next card.
This card is called a word gap card and I first saw the idea sometime ago made by the talented Julia Leece.
My card uses the flower shop stamp set and retired Stampin' Up! alphabet dies. There are still alphabet dies available now but just in a different font.

More Kids Cards
Sunday, 09 February 2014
I'm back!
I have had a lovely break over summer and have hardly spent anytime in my craft room at all but instead have put time into family. My daughter was visiting from Ireland and my neice and nephrew from Australia. Anyway my youngest leaves home today to go and study in Hamilton so more changes are in store for me.
Here are a couple of cards to inspire you today-
I made this for my young niece who does ballet. The stamp set is called Stylin' Girl and is very cute.
Young Knight
We had a five year old's birthday to go to this weekend and his theme was knights and castles.
(He had a giant bouncy castle complete with a blow up dragon.) Of course I had to try and make him a card with a knight on.
I was very happy with how this guy turned out...
If you would like instructions for making this guy or you would like to see other creations with him in, then please leave me a comment.
Thanks from Rhonda

Rich Open Wallets in the Hamptons
The rich are different than other home buyers, both in the Hamptons and in the most affluent neighborhoods on Long Island's north shore, market reports show.
A recovery in sales of the most expensive Long Island properties pushed up median and average prices last year, as well-compensated Wall Street executives regained confidence, according to the reports. At the same time. prices continued to sink in less affluent neighborhoods across Long Island.
A report by Prudential Douglas Elliman found that the number of sales in the Hamptons were up 45% in 2010, compared with dismal sales in 2009 when sales fell to the lowest level in a decade.
The median price on a home in the Hamptons rose to $906,000 in 2010, an increase of nearly 10% and the second highest annual figure on record, according to Elliman. The average Hamptons home sold last year went for $1.66 million.
But analysts cautioned that the blip in median sales prices could be largely attributed to a change in the mix of properties that sold last year.
Sales of the most expensive properties increased, as wealthy buyers regained their appetite for expensive summer homes, analysts said, while sales of lower priced properties fell in the second half of the year following the expiration of federal housing tax credits.
"In the Hamptons you are seeing higher priced properties at much lower prices," said Dottie Herman, president of Prudential Douglas Elliman. "People who were priced out of the market are now trying to get back in."
Rick Hoffman, who oversees sales at Corcoran Group on the east end of Long Island, said there was more buyer confidence in the Hamptons, though prices remain subdued and inventory is above the level of a year ago,
He noted that 26 listings by brokers in the Hamptons sold for more than $10 million last year, compared with only 13 the year before.
The highest price sale of the year was the $43.5 million purchase by David Tepper, the hedge-fund manager, of a 6,200-square-foot house on a dune overlooking the ocean in Sagaponack.
The seller was Joanne Corzine, the former wife of Jon Corzine, the former New Jersey governor and senator.
This was followed by the $32.5 million sale of an estate on Ox Pasture Road in Southampton that had been owned by late Howard Gittis, a close adviser to the financier Ronald Perelman. The estate was sold off in two separate parcels.
In the rest of Long Island, the Elliman report found that in the 4th quarter of 2010 sales were off 28.4% from the same quarter a year earlier. The median price, $356,050, was down 1.4%.
Jonathan Miller, an appraiser and president of Miller Samuel Inc., who prepared the Elliman market reports, found that median prices were up only in the most expensive markets. He cited the affluent North Shore of Nassau County, an area with a short compute to Manhattan, and closely linked with Wall Street.
The median price on the North Shore was up 15.2% from the same period a year earlier.
He said that he expected the market had now worked through much of the effects of the tax credits and was likely to see less volatility in sales and prices in the months ahead and "perhaps more disparity between the high end and low end of the market."
Gregory J. Heym, an economist who prepared a market report for Brown Harris Stevens, said that he expected the market in the east end to strengthen with an improving economic outlook, and an increase in hiring in the financial sector.
But Paul Brennan, the Hamptons regional manager for Prudential Douglas Elliman, was more cautious. He said than some sellers worried about increasing tax rates rushed to complete sales before the end of last year.
Now he said activity had slowed a bit, even though the peak sales season in the Hamptons runs from January through Memorial Day. "I don't think that everyone is in a rush to buy," he said. "But if there is a good deal, there is money to buy it."

Anybody have an idea? Only reason why I'm wondering is that with Chen (lefty) on the mound, you would think Snyder would be playing 3B. But Holt is in there. If he's not going to be in there against a tough lefty, why keep him on the roster?

"Getty Museum" Los Angeles Travelogue by american_tourister
Los Angeles Travel Guide: 4,623 reviews and 9,577 photos
The museum was built by the Getty Foundation to warehouse their art collection that dates from the year 1000 AD. Everything else will be on display at the old museum in Malibu and will be called the "Museum of Antiquities".
The edifice is located on a 600 acre tract at I-405 and Sunset Boulevard and offers incredible views of Brentwood, Malibu, Westwood, and West LA. The Foundation bought the land and spent $1,000,000,000.00 to erect the facility. That is not a misprint. It is 1 BILLION Dollars!
The building is wrapped in Travertine marble from Italy. It has fossils in it! The Foudation bought the quarry that supplied the Travertine for the original Coliseum in Rome just to supply these buildings.
Spend a whole day here. There is a video about how they built it and there is a neat self guided tour, or you can go with Docents on tours. Admission and the tours are free of charge. There is a $5.00 fee to park in the garage and you must have reservations. The easiest thing to do is to park in the designated lot at the Veteran's Hospital on Wilshire and ride the bus to the tram. This is free.
The restarant is 5 star. Even the cafeteria has very good food.
Same guy that painted "The Scream". I guess they have some sunshine deprevation issues in Norway.
The impressionists collection is staggering. What no picture or print hsows you is the texture of the painting. van Gogh used very heavy brush storkes and this painting has a 3-D effect when viewed in person.
There are beautiful moving water ways throughout the grounds and one of them rains through this grotto.
An interesting Bronze done in the lost wax process.

On the Death of Renisha McBride
Renisha McBride was a 19-year-old girl who'd just graduated from Southfield High School and gotten a job at the Ford Motor Company. Late last Friday night, she got into a car accident, alone. With her phone dead, she left her white Ford Taurus on foot to seek help. An hour or so later, she reached Dearborn Heights, a city west of and adjacent to Detroit, and knocked on a stranger's front door. He shot her point-blank in the face with a shotgun and she died.
Her family was not notified of their daughter's death until Monday. The police initially told the family that McBride's body was "dumped" at a nearby intersection; they are now stating that the young woman died on the stranger's porch. Her death has officially been ruled a homicide, but because Michigan is a Stand Your Ground state, prosecutors have not yet charged McBride's killer, a 54-year-old man whose name and race and background are still unknown.
Her killer's attorney has stated, "I'm confident when the evidence comes it will show that my client was justified and acted as a reasonable person would who was in fear for his life." Dearborn Heights Police Lieutenant James Serwatowski said, "She was in a car accident, but I don't know if she was trying to get help or what she was doing." Details are still missing, so I have been trying to imagine the worst possible things that unarmed, stranded Renisha McBride could have been doing. None of them are scary enough for a finger on the trigger and a shotgun in her face.
Stand Your Ground allows for the use of deadly force when a person "honestly and reasonably believes" such use is necessary to prevent "imminent death, great bodily harm, sexual assault" or to protect against the "imminent unlawful use of force by another individual." Renisha McBride was unarmed and her killer shot her in the mouth.
Dearborn Heights is 86% white. Detroit is 82% black. Gun ownership correlates positively with racism. Police Captain Jeffrey Seipenko said, "As far as I am concerned we don't have a [problem]. Dearborn is a very mixed community, you know – white, black, Arab – for years, it's been that way. So I am a little confused as to where that is coming from." McBride's family told police reporters that they don't understand how anyone could have been afraid of their 19-year-old girl.
Renisha McBride's funeral took place today in Detroit, a city that's seen this over and over, most shockingly in the 2010 death of 7-year-old Aiyana Stanley-Jones in her own house during a police raid engineered to give A&E a better reality show. There was a protest calling for justice yesterday; another protest is scheduled for 6 PM tonight. I teach in Ann Arbor, which is a 45-minute drive from Detroit. Yesterday I asked my mostly-white class of freshmen if they'd heard of either Renisha McBride or Aiyana Stanley-Jones; they said no. They stared at me blankly when I brought up stop-and-frisk.
At Salon, Roxane Gay writes: "Increasingly, we are faced with a horrifying truth. The environment in the United States is toxic for black people. There are exceptions, certainly, but Aiyana Stanley-Jones was murdered in her own home, by law enforcement. Trayvon Martin was murdered while walking home from a convenience store. Renisha McBride thought, like any reasonable person, that she could ask a stranger for help."
A toxic environment for black people, and yet a very friendly environment for gun owners, gun users and gun mis-users associated with whiteness in any way. Renisha McBride was shot in the face while looking for help after a car accident, and Fox News used this headline: "Self-Defense Mistake?"

Oklahoma fares well in George Mason University 'freedom' rankings
LET freedom ring!
In Oklahoma it's ringing loud and clear, according to an analysis by researchers at George Mason University's Mercatus Center. The report's authors, William P. Ruger and Jason Sorens, ranked Oklahoma as the fifth-freest state in their libertarian-leaning dissection of fiscal, regulatory and personal policy.
At the top of the list is North Dakota, followed by South Dakota, Tennessee and then New Hampshire. The dregs are — no great surprise — New York, California and New Jersey, liberal strongholds known for choking their residents with taxes and regulations.
Oklahoma placed 31st in the Mercatus Center freedom rankings in 2001. The jump to No. 5 during the next decade marked the greatest movement of any state save North Dakota. Republicans in Oklahoma are sure to note that it was 2004 when the GOP took control of the state House of Representatives, with the Senate going to Republican control a few years later.
The report offers considerable fodder for policymakers to consider. For example, those pushing for another reduction in the top income tax rate might be reluctant to acknowledge that the authors feel Oklahoma already enjoys very low taxes (7.4 percent of personal income). Those looking for continued ways to trim spending might be buoyed by the news that according to Mercatus, Oklahoma "state and local governments have bloated payrolls amounting to 16.5 percent of the private workforce."
However, the authors recommended that in addition to cutting spending on government workforce, the state reduce spending on its highways. Oklahoma has finally begun making investments in its roads and bridges after too many years of doing the opposite.
The study hit on a familiar complaint when it said Oklahoma has far too many occupational license requirements. It gave the state middling grades on freedom from lawsuit abuse, health insurance (which looked at such things as mandates) and utility deregulation. The authors said the state's eminent domain laws needed to be stronger, although that strikes us as an overstatement; Oklahoma hasn't been home to eminent domain abuses that many states feared following the 2005 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that gave governments permission to take non-blighted private property for potential future economic development.
Oklahoma got its lowest scores for personal freedoms, ranking 31st. In sizing those up, the authors cited (among other things) limited gun control, limited smoking bans and the need to reform asset forfeiture rules. They also said arrests for victimless crimes were well above the national average, which hurt Oklahoma's score. "Reforming this rate to the national mean would have raised Oklahoma's personal freedom ranking from 31st to 13th," they said.
This is an area others have preached about during the past several years, as Oklahoma's prison population has swollen. Nobody wants truly dangerous men and women to bypass prison or serve sentences that aren't in line with their crimes. But the state locks up an inordinate number of nonviolent offenders for long stretches, and many policymakers have been loath to entertain the idea of approaching corrections differently. This helps explain why, as recently as a few weeks ago, a Department of Corrections official said the inmate count is up again this year and the agency is running a $13 million deficit for the first eight months of the fiscal year.
The state is on the right track in many areas. Its No. 5 ranking in this freedom study is something to cheer. But corrections is one place where much work remains.

CLARKSTON, Ga. (AP) _ DeKalb County police are trying to find out who killed a cab driver at a neighborhood in Clarkston.
Police answered a call about 2:30 a.m. today that came in as a car crash at Alden Ridge Apartments. Investigators say the cab, a
white mini van, had crashed near a fence. They are checking the cab's last fare to see whether that played a part in the driver's killing.
Police spokesman Marcus Hodge says the driver suffered an apparent gunshot wound. He says officers arrived to find the driver slumped over the wheel.
He was a driver for Decatur's Best Taxi Service. Authorities have not released the man's name.

Antique Wilcox Silverplate Co. Deco Covered Dish
- Sold for: Start Free Trial or Sign In to see what it's worth.
- Item Category: Metals
- Source: eBay
- Sold Date: May 18, 2007
- Channel: Auction House
you have a fantastic example of Wilcox Silverplate from the early 20th century. During the 1920's and 1930's silver designers experimented with a new design look that took ideas that were inspired by the modern world - very deco in style. At that time Wilcox Silver was showing some very interesting pieces. If you visit the Addison Gallery of American Art and look at Deco Silver you will see a very nice example of the time.
you have an interesting and timeless design square covered vegetable dish with a square finial as a handle. The lines on this are simply sublime. Please see photographs.
This piece measures 4" tall from bottom to top of finial handle. It is 9" wide and square.
Silvermark reads as follows: Wilcox Quality at top. In a semi-circle Wilcox S.P. Co. Then inside of the semi-circle EPNS. At bottom of semi-circle reads International S. Co. Below that it reads W.M. Mounts and 5825 N.
I am dating this piece to circa 1920 based on two things. One the modern design which was being experimented with in the early 20th century. Two, because the date stamp indicates that it is from the time prior to the plant's closing in 1941 due to the metal shortage during WWII. A few pieces were made for Wilcox at other factories after the war, but the style on this looks more like the trend in the 1920's experimental designs. Finally, in 1961 the company trademark was changed to Webster-Wilcox.
This item is in excellent condition. It has a few light utensil scratches on the inside, but the outside is great conditions with minimal scratches (see photos), and no dents or dings.
Please see photos. More available upon request.
Please email with any questions. Reference#: 2805W Condition: excellent Year: ca. 1920 Maker: Wilcox S.P. International Silver Height: 4 in. (10.16 cm) Depth: 9 in. (22.86 cm) Width: 9 in. (22.86 cm)

El Arenal Group
The members of the group have requested funding to invest in their businesses: Zenaida in novelty items, Isabel in strainers and floor cloths, Maria Gloria in blenders, Alicia Flores in a store, Rosa Ma in cleaning products and Rosa in cleaning products.
Veronica is part of the group. Arenal tells us that she is 25 years old and married to Sr. Librado with whom she has formed a family of three children, who are now attending school. Vero tells us that she sells bags and novelty items at a shop in San Felipe. She is just starting her business and is requesting a loan at this time to purchase more bags that are in style and that will sell better. She notes that a difficulty is the lack of resources to buy more merchandise, however a loan will help her acquire inventory and sell more.
Vero says that she would like her business to grow so that she can earn more income, which would greatly help improve her quality of life and that of her family because she is worried about the upcoming expenses of sending her children to school.
Vero and the group are very happy and grateful for the funding provided since they will be able to invest in their earnings.

PARIS (AP) — French investigators began taking DNA samples Monday from 527 male students and staff at a high school — including boys as young as 14 — as they searched for the assailant who raped a teenage girl on the closed campus.
Testing began Monday at Fenelon-Notre Dame high school in western France. All those who received summonses last week were warned that any refusal could land them in police custody, and no one rejected the sweeping request to test the high school's male population.
The testing of students, faculty and staff at the school is expected to last through Wednesday, with 40 DNA swabs recovered inside two large study halls. Prosecutor Isabelle Pagenelle said investigators had exhausted all other leads in the Sept. 30 rape of the girl in a dark bathroom at the school.
"The choice is simple for me," she said. "Either I file it away and wait for a match in what could be several years, or I go looking for the match myself."
While there have been other situations in which DNA samples have been taken en masse, the case is complicated for France, where acceptance is widespread for DNA testing and a national database maintains profiles of people detained for even minor crimes. But children's civil liberties are considered sacred, especially within schools.
France has stringent privacy protections — Google, for example, has come under legal attack for storing user data, as well as for lapses in images from Street View. Questions of criminality are a different matter — the government's DNA database has expanded radically since it was first created in 1998, and now encompasses 2 million profiles, or about 3 percent of the population.
"It's clearly a situation where people do not have a choice," said Catherine Bourgain, a genetic researcher and author of "DNA, Superstar or Supercop." ''One you have a DNA file it's very difficult to get that information erased."
Authorities have promised to discard the DNA collected once a donor is eliminated as a suspect, but Bourgain said she hoped that would also include the profile information, which during the usual course of French investigations is computerized and transmitted to the database.
Police recovered genetic material from the girl's clothing but found no matches among current profiles.
"This happened during the school day in a confined space," Chantal Devaux, the private Roman Catholic school's director, told French media. "The decision to take such a large sample was made because it was the only way to advance the investigation."
Summonses went out last week to 475 teenage students, 31 teachers and 21 others — either staff or males who were on campus at the time. Pagenelle's office, which required parental permission for minors, promised to discard any DNA results from people who were eliminated as suspects.
"Even if they have the agreement of their parents they could refuse," Jean-Francois Fountain, La Rochelle's mayor, told RTL radio. "I'm trying to put a more positive view of things: If you do this, you clear yourself. There are hundreds of people today who will be cleared."
Devaux acknowledged that all the results could still come back negative, sending investigators back to the drawing board.
From a legal standpoint, the decision is completely logical, said Christopher Mesnooh, an American lawyer who works in Paris.
"Of the 500 or so men there's really only one who should have any concern," Mesnooh said. "What you have to do in this kind of case is you have to balance each person's right to privacy against what happened to this girl."
Such testing has occurred in the past. A small town in rural Australia, Wee Waa, tested the entire male population or about 500 men in 2000 after the rape of a 93-year-old woman. It led to the conviction a farm laborer, Stephen James Boney.

From hard bop guitarist to r'n'b pop superstar, George Benson has worn a wide variety of hats over the years. R'n'b lovers know him as the guitar-playing vocalist who is responsible for such hits as Give Me The Night and Turn Your Love Around, while the jazz world continues to treasure his classic instrumental albums of the 60s and early 70s. And it goes without saying that Benson's million-selling Breezin' album of 1976 practically defined the NAC, quiet storm, and contemporary jazz radio formats.
