Josh deLacy is a Washington state based writer whose work has appeared in Crack the Spine and Underground Voices. Josh runs the blog Traveling on Trust which details his hitchhiking experiences.
Eliza: What is Traveling on Trust about?
Josh: During the summer of 2013, I hitchhiked 7,000 miles across small-town America, carrying nothing but a backpack, an empty wallet, and a sign that read, Traveling On Trust. I had three rules: (1) no money, (2) no interstates, and (3) no asking for help. I was traveling to meet people who were radically different from me, and to test the hope that the world has more good than bad in it. I slept with a shotgun one night, rode fifty miles with a blind driver, and once found myself trapped with a man who had attacked police officers with a machete—but despite a few nervous moments like those, I really did find good people during my two months on the road. One hundred and thirty-five drivers stopped to help a stranger. I found those Good Samaritans from Washington State to Michigan to New Mexico and back, and those Good Samaritans crossed lines of money and status and lifestyle. They were truckers and murderers, meth addicts and conservative Christians, Vietnam draft dodgers and New Age skiers. Those people are what Traveling on Trust is all about.
I kept a blog during my travels, and I am now writing a book about the experience.
Eliza:What gave you the idea in the first place?
Josh: I was working as an intern in Washington D.C. during my last semester of college, and although I loved the work, I realized I wasn't ready to move straight from that internship into a steady job. There was too much in the world I hadn't seen, and after I graduated, I would have a perfect opportunity to explore. I wasn't married, I didn't have kids, I didn't have a job. I didn't need to take care of a house or a car. This was my best shot to do something crazy, something that you can only really do in those tiny windows when you aren't locked down by responsibilities. So I planned a trip that would use that time to the fullest.
Eliza: Why small towns?
Josh: More than eighty percent of Americans live in cities and suburbs, and that percentage is increasing. When most of us think about small towns, we romanticize them as bastions of traditional American values, or we stigmatize them as boring places that are a little bit backward. Or we just forget about them. That was enough reason for me to explore small towns. I wanted to learn.
Plus, the roads that connect small towns tend to have better scenery than interstates. I spent a lot of time standing on the side of the road, and good scenery makes that time much more enjoyable.
Eliza: Do you think being young and white made it easier for you to get rides?
Josh: Yes. Especially being young and looking even younger. Early in the trip, I would tell my drivers that I had just graduated, and they would usually think that meant I had just finished high school. One person, when he first saw me, thought I was fourteen years old. It bruised my ego a little bit, but it made hitchhiking much easier. Looking young means looking innocent, and people are much more likely to help someone when they aren't worried about their own safety. So I received rides from grandmothers, pregnant mothers, families with kids in the car. One man even let me hold his loaded handgun.
Another factor that made it easier for me to find rides was my sign. I sewed fabric letters into a bedsheet, and that right there told drivers I had invested time into hitchhiking—I wasn't some vagrant running from the law. Also, the sign read, Traveling on Trust, and that was a sort of implied promise: "I'm trustworthy, and I expect you to be trustworthy, too." I think most people want to be good and trustworthy, and by calling attention to that, my sign helped me out tremendously. When I lost my first sign, though, hitchhiking all of a sudden became much harder…
Eliza: What's the oddest thing you had to do on your trip?
Josh: There's a lot to choose from. Sleeping with a shotgun, helping an artist sell her work, hearing secrets that people had kept quiet for years and years. But I'll stick with a happy story a girl who worked at a whitewater rafting company picked me up in southern Colorado, and she invited me to eat dinner with all the rafting guides back at their camp. Even though I had wanted to travel farther south that day, I rarely passed up opportunities to spend more time with my drivers, so I agreed to eat with her. Plus, dinner invitations are necessary when you're hitchhiking without money. I saw the rafting camp and helped the guides prepare dinner, and by the time all of us finished eating, I had received three different invitations to go rafting the next morning. I spend that night at the camp, and I went "whitewater hitchhiking" in the morning. Even at the end of my trip, I couldn't predict what would happen while I was hitchhiking. The only things I could count on: learning about new lives, hearing fascinating stories, and meeting good people.

AMD launches Mantle API via Catalyst 14.1 beta drivers
AMD's answer to Directx 11 is finally available to the public
CHIP DESIGNER AMD has launched its long-awaited Mantle API through Catalyst 14.1 beta drivers and a Battlefield 4 update.
Mantle is a tool for alleviating CPU bottlenecks, such as API overhead or inefficient multi-threading. AMD said this allows systems with entry-level, midrange or otherwise modestly-priced processors to see improvements in graphics processing performance.
"Mantle has been more than two years in the making with esteemed members of the gaming community, such as Johan Andersson and the team at Dice, Dan Baker and Tim Kipp over at Oxide Games or the entire Thief team at Square Enix," said the chip firm.
"Together we created the first graphics API designed by and built for game developers to satisfy their every need in a fresh, modern approach to game programming."
Basically, Mantle is AMD's answer to Directx 11, looking to replace the Microsoft standard with drivers that offer direct access to GPU features and performance.
"Mantle also assists game developers in bringing games to life on multiple platforms by leveraging the commonalities between GCN powered PCs and consoles for a simple game development process," the chip designer claimed.
AMD said that it will provide games such as Battlefield 4 with "the ability to speak the native language of the Graphics Core Next architecture, presenting a deeper level of hardware optimisation".
For example, AMD claimed that in Battlefield 4, an AMD A10-7700K processor with an AMD Radeon R9 290X GPU running at HD 1080p on "ultra settings" should see a 41 percent improvement in performance with Mantle.
AMD unveiled its first Mantle powered generation of "Hawaii" graphics cards and cores, the R9 and R7 series, last September.
Featuring the firm's Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture, the AMD Radeon R9 series is aimed at the performance gamer, while the Radeon R7 series is focused on midrange machines. µ

Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory" video is a bit disappointing. It's not the typical Gaga video that fans expected. Many Little Monsters simply hate the video calling it boring. On Vevo, one commenter, Nick Ruiz, ·said, "she looks like a druggy tranny tripping out in new york." So far, 75 people have liked the comment made by Ruiz.
Lady Gaga's Edge of Glory is hated by 61% of according to a poll by US Magazine.
Pop Justice calls Gaga's new video "Edge of Boring". The website also remarked "We just need to accept that Gaga has released an awful video." -- Ouch!
WATCH: Lady Gaga Edge of Glory video
Sure, there are Gaga fans who will declare anything that Gaga does a masterpiece. This time Lady Gaga has left her Monsters disappointed. Edge of Glory is such a great song. We only wish the video was equally as good.
In case you're wondering, Lady Gaga's S&M inspired outfit in Edge of Glory is from the last collection designer Gianni Versace made before his death.
What do you think of Gaga's Edge of Glory video?
Little Monsters, please comment and share your thoughts.

Brace For McSherry As Blues See Off Salthill
Waterford United 4 – 0 Salthill Devon
Waterford United's attacking line-up proved too good for Salthill Devon at the RSC last night, a game which, for the home fans, marked several very pleasing 'firsts'.
Paul Walsh made his third stint debut to the delight of the home fans, and was an instant hit, going off to a huge round of applause five minutes from time. Adam McSherry made his home debut and first start, notching two goals, and thus emulating David Grincell's RSC start against Fingal in 2008, and the Blues set what must be a club record of 27 seconds between goals to wrap up the win.
A very attacking formation saw McSherry and Conor Sinnott start in midfield, with two out-and-out wingers and Paul Murphy and Willie John Kiely up front. The early exchanges saw both sides probing without much penetration, but as the game settled down it was the home side that began to create half-chances. Murphy, Kiely and Dwayne Wilson were all off target early on, but the latter did have the ball in the net on 21 minutes. Referee Sean Grant had blown for a free kick on the edge of the area just before the winger drove home, and the free was blazed over the top. Three minutes later the Blues had a second chalked off, Kiely two yards offside as he guided in Sinnott's right wing free kick. Moments later Etanda Nkololo, by far Devon's most potent threat on the left wing, went on a menacing run foiled by a timely Seamus Long tackle, but otherwise the visitors rarely looked dangerous.
The Blues though kept on knocking on the Salthill door. Six minutes from the break Walsh, having an impressive debut, whipped in a cross from the right. Kiely just beat goalkeeper Ronan Forde to the ball, but couldn't beat Paddy Quinlan on the line. Then three minutes later the long-threatened opener arrived, Walsh involved again as he held up Long's crossfield ball in the right corner, feeding it back for Sinnott to swing in an exquisite cross to the far post, where Wilson rose unopposed to head home his first league goal for United.
After the break, Salthill started the brighter. Kenny Browne had to look lively to cut out Ronan Conlon's ball in to danger man Nkololo, and Paul Carey had a short scare as his clearance cannoned off Ray Winters before flying harmlessly wide, but the home side were soon back in the ascendant, and they killed the game off on 58 minutes. McSherry superbly controlled a neat Walsh ball through the middle, chesting into his stride as he advanced into the right of the area, and firing low past Forde and inside the far post from 12 yards. Seven minutes later a lovely move saw Wilson get to the left endline, his driven cross from the left almost setting up Kiely six yards out, but the defence got enough of a block to allow Forde make the save.
A clever Nkololo free kick from 25 yards, low and wide of the wall but also the right post, didn't trouble the home side, but they did go close on 75 minutes, as Colm Horgan went on a mazy and seemingly unstoppable run through the middle of the Blues defence, shooting from the penalty spot but finding Kevin Burns in outstanding form with the reaction stop. Sub Brian Nolan matched that moments later with a surging run of his own from deep, playing a deft one-two with Murphy, but just failing to get the decisive strike.
That was soon forgotten on 86 minutes though, as a record-setting series of events saw two rapid-fire goals add gloss to the result. First McSherry brilliantly chested down Gary Dunphy's pass into the path of Murphy, who volleyed home in style from 20 yards. The strains of 'Fiesta' had barely died away in the stand when it was required again, as Sinnott won the ball from the restart and sent McSharry clear in the left channel, the Clonmel man coolly slotting past the advancing Forde and into the far corner, a full 27 seconds after Murphy's effort. Two minutes later McSherry had the chance to wrap up a classic hat-trick, but his header from Sinnott's cross was too close to Forde. And with the last kick of the game Gary Keane was desperately unlucky to see Forde pull off the save of the night to claw behind his shot on the turn after Dunphy had played him in.
Blues: Kevin Burns; Paul Carey (Brian Nolan 54), Kenny Browne, Seamus Long, Michael Coady; Paul Walsh (Gary Keane 85), Conor Sinnott, Adam McSherry, Dwayne Wilson; Paul Murphy, Willie John Kiely (Gary Dunphy 69) – subs: Sean Barron, Shane Barrett, Shane Dempsey
Goals: Wilson 42, McSherry 58, 86, Murphy 86

College Hockey:Dartmouth Draws First Blood in Rivalry Weekend
Big Green Tops Vermont to Even Season Series
HANOVER, N.H. — The I-89 rivalry is heating up.
Playing the second of three consecutive games against one another, Dartmouth and nearby neighbor Vermont battled before a packed house of 4,150 at Thompson Arena Friday night in a physical game that featured 18 penalties.
Bouncing back from a 4-2 loss before the new year, the homestanding Big Green handed the 13th-ranked Catamounts a 5-2 defeat, evening the season series at 1-1 and dealing Vermont its first loss in ECAC play. The rivals will meet again Saturday night in Burlington — 90 miles up Interstate 89 — in a game that sold out in less than three hours.
In this game, five Big Green skaters led the way with two points each, including junior tri-captain Mike Maturo, whose assist and game-winning goal gave him nine points in the last four games, and a team-leading 16 points on the season.
"Mike is a real leader and a difference maker on our team," coach Bob Gaudet said. "When he plays well, it lifts the entire team because he sets a good example and he gets everyone working hard and wanting to win. Mike is really what this program is all about."
With the win, Dartmouth (5-7, 2-3 ECAC) continued an upswing that began with a 2-1 triumph against No. 11 Maine over Thanksgiving weekend. In December, the Big Green went 2-2 in a slate of non-conference games, including a 6-3 win against fifth-ranked New Hampshire.
For Vermont (9-5, 5-1), the loss comes a week after winning the Auld Lang Syne holiday tournament here at Thompson Arena. Despite taking an early 1-0 advantage, the Catamounts were outshot 28-21 overall and suffered their first loss since a 7-3 setback against Minnesota-Duluth in late November.
Vermont coach Mike Gilligan, who is just two victories shy of the 400-win plateau for his career, thinks his team will take the loss in stride.
"We knew we weren't going to go 22-0 in the league," he said.
"Dartmouth seemed to have better legs tonight. We knew they were a good team, and we respect them. Any team that beats Maine and New Hampshire deserves your respect."
Dartmouth outshot the visitors 13-3 while taking a 2-1 lead into the first intermission, but Vermont opened the scoring three minutes into the game when senior captain Jerry Gernander beat goaltender Nick Boucher (19 saves) after the sophomore had made a pair of acrobatic saves. Gernander's third goal of the season gave him points in eight of nine games.
The Big Green had a power play minutes later, and from then on took control of the period. The hosts made it 1-1 with an even-strength goal at 11:19, as sophomore center Kent Gillings took a feed from left winger Maturo and rifled a quick liner past a helpless Andrew Allen (23 saves) in net. Gillings' goal was his fifth of the season.
"The power play makes a big difference because it can change the momentum," Gaudet said. "We were up to speed in the first few minutes, but I think we really started to play well as the first period went on."
Dartmouth took its first lead of the game soon after Gillings' marker, when junior Chris Baldwin one-timed a Frank Nardella pass from behind the net. Chris Taliercio also earned an assist on the play.
The teams traded power-play goals in an exciting middle frame that included an eye-popping 11 penalties. The Big Green extended its lead to 3-1 early in the period, as Maturo took advantage of a fat rebound and hammered home his team-leading eighth goal of the season. Baldwin, who fired the initial shot, earned an assist on the play.
Vermont responded just over a minute later. Fourteen seconds into a power play, Jeff Miles — the top freshman scorer in the ECAC — took a pass from center Patrick Sharp and roofed his fourth of the year, giving him 17 points on the season to make it 3-2.
Dartmouth iced the game in the third period, as Boucher played well — stopping a perfect seven of seven shots — and defenseman Trevor Byrne added an insurance goal with a blast from just inside the blue line. Byrne's goal was his third on the season.
The Big Green closed the scoring when defenseman Pete Summerfelt — whose family made the long trip from Anchorage, Alaska — chipped in an empty netter.

20 Years Ago: Matthew Sweet's 'Altered Beast' Album Released
We gather Matthew Sweet is one of those guys who goes searching for "the big find" at the local record store on a lazy Sunday afternoon, geeking out with the bespectacled know-it-all behind the counter about the greats — the Byrds, the Beatles, Dylan, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Big Star, etc. Sweet is like John Cusack's 'High Fidelity' character, only he's a professional musician, not a "professional appreciator."
'Altered Beast,' his fourth album, which turns 20 today, is a study in the influences he's digested over the years as one of rock music's premiere songsmiths. And some of his heroes even appear on the album. Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, Jody Stephens of Big Star and Robert Quine of the Voidoids — who would later show up on the 'Beast' follow-up '100% Fun,' whose cover shot features a 10-year-old Sweet listening to a record — all show up.
The album dropped in 1993, two years after Sweet's breakthrough hit, 'Girlfriend,' which makes it a quasi-sophomore effort. There was probably considerable expectation for a second 'Girlfriend,' and to some extent, 'Beast' is a strong follow-up. The album was seemingly sequenced as if it were a vinyl offering, with seven tracks on the A-side, an 'Intro' to the flipside (a quote from the infamous X-rated Malcolm McDowell flick 'Caligula'), and then the B-side, beginning with a rockier rehashing of 'The Ugly Truth,' one of the album's singles. There are hints of alternative country (a nascent genre at the time), as well as nods to Neil Young & Crazy Horse ('Falling'), the Byrds ('Life Without You') and Big Star ('Time Capsule'), who invited him to sit in for a reunion show. (He declined the offer.)
What may be most interesting about 'Altered Beast' is how little has been written about it over the years. This may be because of its lack of critical cheerleaders, and reviewers at the time accused Sweet of writing an uninspired, patchy group of songs. When asked by about the record in a 1995 Spin interview, Sweet said he didn't think 'Altered Beast' was "as weird as its reputation." He also talked about how the success of 'Girlfriend' had driven him to drink and, to some degree, over-analyze himself.
The critical backlash strikes us as odd, because the album has an edge that sets it apart from Sweet's other discs. Alternately angry ('Someone to Pull the Trigger') and filled with self-loathing ('Dinosaur Act'), 'Altered Beast' may have turned off listeners craving more of the fun, poppy Sweet they'd become accustomed to — the one that would show up two years later on '100% Fun.'
Only time will tell if more (digital) ink is spilled on this record, which reached No. 75 on the Billboard 200, besting 'Girlfriend' by a full 25 places. (Both '100% Fun' and its follow-up, 'Blue Sky On Mars,' fared better, cresting at No. 65 and 66, respectively.) It certainly deserves more than just a handful of question marks.

by George Eliot
Middlemarch Theme of Society and Class
The title of the novel is the name of the town, which is a hint that this isn't a novel about one or two individuals: it's a novel about the entire society of this small town and the surrounding area. Eliot's interested in showing how the relationships between different people have large and small effects on everything around them. The society of Middlemarch is like an intricate web of relationships, and it's hard to put any one person or group at the center of that web.
Questions About Society and Class
- How do societal expectations affect each of the three major couples in Middlemarch (Fred and Mary, Dorothea and Casaubon/Will, Rosamond and Lydgate)?
- Does social convention have a greater impact on the men or the women in the novel? How so?
- Is society or personal mistakes more to blame for the unhappiness and dissatisfaction experienced by many of the characters?
- Most of the characters in Middlemarch are of a similar social class (upper middle class to lower aristocracy). Why is that?
Chew on This
Society is to blame for the dissatisfaction that pervades Middlemarch, because characters are unable to reconcile their ambitions with the contingencies of social expectations.
The huge social web that Eliot develops in Middlemarch consists almost entirely of members of the upper middle class. Eliot is more interested in showing the intricacies of social relationships within the same class than she is in demonstrating the interrelationships across a more vertical cross-section of society.

BATON ROUGE, La. – No. 10 Stanford tied its season-best team score of 197.275 Saturday to finish second at the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional and qualify to the NCAA Championships.
The Cardinal returns to the NCAA Championships for the seventh time in the past eight years and 14th time in program history.
Stanford will be joined at the national finals by LSU, which tied the nation's highest score this year with a 198.325 to place first. The Cardinal finished ahead of third-place Iowa State (196.350), Kent State (195.125), Auburn (195.050) and Arizona (194.825).
The Cardinal recorded its second-highest team score at an NCAA Regional in program history. Stanford tallied its second-highest event scores on the year on beam (49.450) and floor (49.325), and its third-best total on bars with a 49.325.
"It was an outstanding team effort today," said head coach Kristen Smyth. "The team showed grit, they fought for everything and they did a great job of covering each other when they needed to. We are definitely peaking at the right time."
Samantha Shapiro and Kristina Vaculik tied for the regional title on bars with meet-best scores of 9.950. Shapiro tied her career best in the event, while Vaculik set a career high.
Vaculik had a terrific meet, finishing third in the all-around with a 39.475 – tying her third-highest score in the event on the season. She went 9.875 on beam, 9.850 on floor and 9.800 on vault.
Shona Morgan continued her strong senior campaign, recording top-10 results in each of her three events. Morgan performed in the leadoff position in each event and tied for third on bars (9.900) and beam (9.925), and tied for ninth on floor (9.875). Her score on bars tied her career high.
"I can't say enough about Shona and how she led us off on three events, setting the tone with her confident and aggressive work," said Smyth.
Stanford got off to a great start on floor with all six gymnasts scoring 9.850 or higher. Morgan, Taylor Rice and Rachel Daum tied for ninth in the event, each scoring 9.875. Jenna Frowein delivered a collegiate-best 9.850, and Vaculik and Shapiro also tallied a 9.850.
"I was really proud of our floor team, led by our assistant coach Tabitha [Yim]," said Smyth. "We got off to a strong start, hitting our second-highest score in the event of the season."
The Cardinal continued its momentum on vault with all six gymnast scoring 9.800 or higher. Melissa Chuang and Nicolette McNair paced the team with scores of 9.875 to tie for seventh. Rice earned a 9.825, while Daum, Vaculik and Danielle McNair scored 9.800.
A bye in the fourth rotation couldn't cool off the Cardinal, which returned in the fifth rotation to post a 49.325 on bars – the team's third-highest score in the event on the season. Stanford was led by Shapiro and Vaculik's first-place finishes, followed by Morgan's 9.900 to tie for third. Nicolette McNair scored a 9.850 to tie for eighth.
Stanford entered the final rotation in second place with a significant lead but needed to hit its routines to secure a top-two finish.
The Cardinal did just that. And then some.
Stanford posted its second-highest score on beam this season with a 49.450. Morgan and Rebecca Wing led the team with scores of 9.925. Wing's score was a career best.
"There were so many clutch performances from a variety of gymnasts who stepped up when we needed big hit routines," said Smyth. "I was really impressed with our gymnasts who competed on one event. Jenna Frowein, Becky Wing and Melissa Chuang did a great job of filling their roles and scoring a couple career highs."
Vaculik and Amanda Spinner delivered strong performances on beam to score a 9.875 apiece. Nicolette McNair provided Stanford's final score with a 9.850.
Though her score didn't count toward the team total, Daum also showcased her strength on beam with a solid routine that earned a 9.825.
Stanford will have next weekend off before traveling to Alabama for the NCAA Championships on April 18-20.

Encyclopedia of Jazz Musicians
Washer, Bill (William Knight)
Washer, Bill (William Knight), guitarist, educator; b. Philadelphia, PA, 27 September 1949. At the age of 4, his family moved to Rochester, N.Y. where he grew up. He began taking guitar lessons at the age of 10 and began playing with others his age in different combos. In High School he began studying with Don Ames and spent summers at the Eastman School of Music playing in Father George Wiskershens jazz big band. Around this time he also did gigs with his own band playing rock and blues. It was during this period that he became interested in jazz, listening to the late night jazz show on radio station WHAM.
At the age of 17 he began studying with Mick Goodrick at Boston's Berklee School of Music. Over the next three years he was playing with many musicians in Boston including Jerry Bergonzi, Andy LaVerne, Harvie Swartz, Art Baron, Abe Laborial, and others. He also worked in the local stage production of "Hair". When New York jazz musicians were in town, he would frequently sit in with them including Elvin Jones and Joe Henderson where he met Dave Liebman, Steve Grossman, Don Alias, Gene Perla, Lenny White, George Cables, Stanley Clarke and Curtis Fuller among others. At this time he was also working with Stevie Wonder. When Curtis Fuller was not available, he also worked with Joe Henderson. He moved to New York in 1971. Work was scarce and he was forced to move to Montreal in the summer of 1972 to work in a road show. A phone call from saxophonist (now pianis ) Marc Copland, who he jammed with at his Warren Street loft, got him back to New York for a job with the Joffrey Ballet. In the autumn of 1972 he moved into his own loft on 6th Avenue in the flower district and began playing and having sessions. He began doing recording and Broadway work throughout the 70's and continued with the Joffrey Ballet where he met his future wife, Trinette Singleton in 1975. They were married in 1979 and moved to West Greenwich Village. Their daughter Katie was born in 1984.
In 1985 they built a house in the Pocono Mountains in northeast Pennsylvania where they spent much of their free time. While still working in New York, they became acquainted with the local music and dance scene. When Katie reached school age, they moved to Pennsylvania full time. Bill was working with the Liza Minnelli orchestra at the time. Most of this work was on the road so living in New York was no longer a priority. Trinette has since opened her own dance studio and Bill continues doing gigs both in eastern Pennsylvania and New York. He also began teaching jazz guitar at Moravian College in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as well as private students. He still travels to New York to do Broadway and recording work and is currently the guitarist with singer/songwriters Ashford and Simpson. His jazz trio ("The Absolute Trio") perform in eastern PA.

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
A lot of different groups and people are making use of the map of race in America, based on the US 2010 census. Many are noticing that while we're far less segregated than we were 50 years ago, too often, cities have clear and stark enclaves of single-race groups.
So how does Lowell fare? I decided to take a map of streets and voting precincts and try to match it up as best I could to a screenshot of the race map. (The result is pretty well lined up, but may not be exact.) Click the image to get a very large resolution - 3000 pixels - though the dots will be pixelized since I used a screenshot of the dot data (it still works to give you an idea of the makeup of the neighborhoods).
The obvious first observation to make is with Belvidere, the western parts of the Upper Highlands, and Christian Hill/Pawtucketville, where whites (blue dots) are pretty dominant. Basically, the "outside" of the city (and also a portion of JAM/downtown) are white. It's like white flight, in miniature…people are staying in the city, but moving to where there is more space/single family neighborhoods. If we were truly better integrated as a society (not just as Lowellians), the number of Hispanics, Asians and blacks would, proportionately, be able to afford the aforementioned affluent neighborhoods. We should see more mixed dots in Belvidere. This is, of course, less a condemnation of Lowell, and more a condemnation of our nation and its inability to address poverty and the lack of equal opportunity for minorities.
The fact that you can see some mixed dots even in the bluest parts of the city, particularly the red dots of Asians, speaks well of Lowell, if only compared to some of the other race data maps of cities in the US I've seen.
There are certainly a lot of very mixed neighborhoods, as well. Precincts 10-1, 2 and 3, 11-1, and 5-1 seem to have areas of high integration, my neighborhood included. (This reflects my experience in my neighborhood.) I think part of this is the affordability of these neighborhoods - houses in several of these locations are in "decent" neighborhoods but not overly expensive. I have pretty diverse neighbors, mostly in single or owner-occupied two-family homes. Do we integrate well? Not as well as I'd hope. Of course, my neighborhood doesn't really have a neighborhood group truly representing it, so I'd be hard pressed to say whether or not such a group would have a proportionate representation of the ethnic diversity of my neighbors.
Then there is also, of course, the Acre, the Lower Highlands, and other enclaves of minorities. Concentrated in what I like to call the "transient" areas of the city (ie, largely rental units), Hispanics (yellow dots) dominate Moody Street almost exclusively, and are found around the borders between Precincts 5-2, 9-1, and 9-2, and also in some of Back Central and Lower Belvidere.
Again, I think this speaks to a much larger issue of inequity than can be simply addressed by our own city; minorities are behind whites in unemployment numbers, pay scale and other measures of economic wealth across the entire nation, and we should address those issues as a whole country. I think it's also true that immigrants coming to the US, be they Hispanic, African, Middle Eastern, Asian, or other ethnicities often wind up in these enclaves where there is affordable rental housing. You'll note that our Asian population, peopled by a large number of Cambodian-Americans who have been here for two, three, or more generations, have long since begun their migration out of the center of the city into the more open, single family, ownership neighborhoods.
Those are only simple observations I've made on the mostly macro level. I'm sure readers will be able to take a look at this and comment further on it. Hope this is useful to you!
Update: Check out this post by Dick which talks about the Cambodian makeup of the electorate!
You're reading into it a bit too far, IMHO, at least with the Asians. It took my family *70 years* to escape the neighborhoods that you're saying we haven't done enough work to integrate, often with groups who have been here for fewer than 30 years. Some places, like the outer edges of Belvidere, I bet if you looked at the age groups, are populated by the same Greek and Irish descenders who first bought those homes when they were new in the 1960s and 70s.
I disagree. I've lived in several neighborhoods in Lowell, one of the "edge" neighborhoods, and two of the moderate-owner-occupied ones. (We'll not speak of the first two years in Dracut.) I have to say, the Cambodian-Americans (those who are staying in the city that is) are expanding into these types of neighborhoods; when, and this is a guess, but a good one, their first gen arrival was concentrated in the affordable-rental areas of the city. I doubt a large number of them were in these largely-owner neighborhoods during the first decade or two they lived in Lowell. So many came here with nothing.
What's weird about Lowell, is this: Two blocks in either direction in many areas of the city, you wind up in a totally different "type" of neighborhood. I live in a largely owner-occupied part of my street. Down one way is high concentrations of slightly ratty rentals packed in like sardines, and down the other end is a weird mix of single fam and ratty rentals which are packed in. When we were looking for a house, I noticed this happens all over the city (well, OK, at least south of the Merrimack, we didn't we even consider any address that requires a bridge crossing!). Move a block, or two, and the street or block totally changes character. Maybe this a result of inconsistent zoning laws or enforcement, I don't know. I think I like it, if only because it doesn't totally concentrate the .1 acre single fam lots in a few large areas, and the tenement/three-to-ten-family rentals totally separate areas. But it is rather schizophrenic!
Other places in the country, I think, are more like the difference between Pawtucketville and the Acre, or at least, that's my impression. Or maybe more like the difference between the Acre and the Upper Highlands. Except there's not a lot of places in between mixing it up like we have here.
I think I can safely say, Manchester NH is one such place. So many nice, neat, .1-.2 acre lots in a large swath of this or that part of the city, and then there's the packed in areas that are mostly rentals, and the parts that are one or the other are large areas of the city, not a block-by-block shift between one or the other.
Are you disagreeing though? You're saying it's taken time with the Cambodians, as it always has with everybody who has ever come through this city. Like everybody else who has ever come through, they really can't go home. This is in sharp contrast to *my understanding* of the "other" big immigrant group in Lowell: the Caribbean Spanish. Many come and go as they please, and they often don't plan to stay or integrate. Puerto Ricans are citizens already, even. Come for a few years, make some money, send it home. That's going to look very different.
I think it's unfortunate that we spend so much time with "Asians" and "Hispanic" and "White" demographics. Southeast Asians, who escaped from genocide and war, have nothing in common with the Indians and the Chinese who often come here highly educated from well-to-do backgrounds. Yet they are the same color dot.
I guess I misunderstood what you were getting at.
Good point about the truly transient (coming in, making some money, leaving the country again).
"It took my family *70 years* to escape the neighborhoods that you're saying we haven't done enough work to integrate"
I didn't read where she prescribed what people should do and what 'enough' is. To the extent that she even came close it was a comment about class and affordability.
Mr Lynne,
"…a condemnation of our nation and its inability to address poverty and the lack of equal opportunity for minorities…we should address those issues as a whole country."
Doesn't that mean that it's wrong that we have racial/income enclaves (and that they are often one and the same) and that we should work to fix it, which would imply we haven't done enough?
The bottom line is, it ALWAYS comes down to money. If everyone had equal opportunity (say, the unemployment rates were the same across racial lines, there was no pay gap, equal access to good education, higher ed, etc), I think this map would look totally different. I think it looks this way on mostly economic grounds. Every person, no matter their race, wants to "move up and out," as in, you start out renting at the beginning of your adult life, and if things go well, you wind up buying a house or moving to a more desirable location. I think if all things economic were equal, this racial divide would wind up being more of an age divide, with the Acre and other "transient" areas full of young adults just starting out, going to school, etc, and ownership areas are where they eventually move to.
The disparity between whites and minorities is both where they start out in life, AND what opportunities are given whites compared to similar-in-background minorities. These two elements serve to push the gap wider, and create what I suspect are mostly economic enclaves…there are other reason for enclaves (for example, first gen immigrants tend to want to be with people who speak their native language, while their kids, who are more integrated into the culture, don't need this as much), but I think most of the enclave problem is all about money, and who has it. I don't think there's a (permanent, long term resident) minority group who would NOT, given the economic power, move "up and out" to the single family neighborhood with a backyard and a fence and a dog.
Let me revise that, somewhat. I think it's mostly economic, BUT there is still a certain amount of enclavery that is about racism and tribalism. However, I think that's mostly in the older generations and the younger generations would learn to live without that pretty quickly. At least that is my impression.
Especially in places like the northeast. Maybe this would be a more difficult item to address in, say, Atlanta.
I may have misread something:
"we haven't done enough work to integrate"
I heard that 'we' as the minority 'we' ('they'), not the all of us 'we'. People often blame the enclave's themselves for their own lack of integration.
To address the issue directly, there is a 'stickyness' to class that minority populations seem to be more vulnerable to. Our problem with income mobility in this country is worse among minorities. The result is often that enclave's that appear to be based on class also often appear to be based on race. In a less 'class-sticky' world we'd have more integration, although I think cultural enclave's would still exist. The difference is that they'd represent opportunities to live in a cultural enclave, not difficulties in escaping a class enclave.
The situation is complex, isn't it? We have these factors:
* The US Government breaks down people into neat color-coded categories that stretch across all sorts of actual lines.
* Prior to the 1960s, it was harder for non-white people to come to the US because of the countries immigration was open to and who lived there.
* Around that time, changes in the domestic economy made it harder for people at the bottom of the ladder to move up. Note the famous erosion of income gains in the bottom quintile.
* The end result of that, mixing in some good old-fashioned racism here and there, is that entire color-groups came over poor and are still just as poor, a generation or so on. We can no longer tell race from class in large American cities.
This is most clear I feel with Asians. Many of them are fairly new to the US, a generation or two. However, they are, on average, wealthier and more educated than White People. Why? Unlike many groups, they didn't come over with nothing. Talk to Indians about the servants they have back home.
Compare the Africans we have in Lowell, who are coming over and can somehow afford college, etc, with the African Americans, who were facing institutional racism up into the 1960s, which, as we know, was about the end of the good expansion years for class movement. Now we have a real problem there because we have multi-generational hatred, disrespect, and mistrust all around and we have a cultural divide to add to the economic divide. It gets even worse because unlike the Asians, who will always look Asian and the good stereotypes that carries with it, we have a different–as the Canadians put it–"visible minority group" who is reminded day in and day out they are different in a way that people think negatively about. The connotations of "acting Black" and "acting White" really upset me.
In a paper entitled "On The Measurement of Segregation" , the author developed spectral segregation index which is supposed to avoid some of the concerns arising from the use of census tracts.It is found at www.vanderbilt.edu/econ/sempapers/Fryer.pdf.
This index shows Lowell to have been , based on the 2000 Federal Census ,the most segregated city in the US from a White perspective.
The link I sent before does not seem to work now. Try www.nber.org/papers/w11258
Thanks for posting the research paper. It would be good to get a 2010 Census update. I suspect there would be some change in pattern, but nonetheless this analysis provides a different view.
Based on that paper, I can safely draw the following conclusions:
White people smoke too much and talk a lot, and these behaviors are contagious.
Statisticians need to make sure they have an English major in their circle of friends.
I don't know the map goes - but my street has 5 white families, 1 Brazilian, 1 Azorian, 2 Cambodian, 1 Lao and some doofus who has decided to turn his Mother's 3 family home into student housing (Mixed bag there) Some speak good English, the others try really hard. We all smile and wave , talk over the fences and last week commiserated over our third fried squirrel in transformer outage. None of us are wealthy and range in age from 99 to 6 months. All in all, it works.

Importance of Writing an Essay to the Appropriate Length
If this is your first experience with writing essays, the question which is likely to trouble you the most is the essay length. You wonder what the ideal essay length is and how you can go about filling your pages to achieve the set number of words or pages.
For a start, do remember that writing an essay is not simply about completing the essay length, number of pages or words required by your professor. Rather than worrying about your essay length, you should choose a topic which interests you so that you feel the prescribed essay length is not suitable or enough to write all you have researched and want to write about your topic.
The essay length of a normal essay should ideally be about four to five pages in length, two hundred and fifty to two hundred seventy-five words on each page. The essay length is also determined by the font and size which should ideally be Times New Roman or Ariel 12 point. The essay length presentation will be ideal if your essay is double spaced all over.
There is actually no such thing as ideal essay length, which varies according to personal preferences and specification set by the college or university. However, even though the essay length may not be accurately prescribed in many cases, you should try and avoid getting too wordy in your essay and avoid writing pages and pages on information.
Restricting yourself to a minimum length is the ideal choice since you will be able to write more in the set number of pages and will be able to filter out unnecessary information from your essay. Finally, remember that it is not the essay length which will gain you marks; it is the content, references and your presentation which will earn you good grades.

As executive director of Restorative Justice for Oakland Youth, Fania Davis sees programs like hers as part of the way to end the school-to-prison pipeline.
Education Uprising
Craft instruments from easy-to-find materials and invite more music into your family's life.
These three young activists found creative ways to tackle issues from climate change to voting rights.
Curtis Acosta's classes in Mexican American Studies gave kids pride in their heritage—until the Arizona Legislature canceled them. That's when his students became activists, and some real-life lessons began.
Teachers are fighting the privatization wave by connecting with families right where they live.
The secret to learning self-awareness, cooperation, and other "social and emotional learning" skills lies in experience, not in workbooks and rote classroom exercises.
New approaches to kindergarten offer us a glimpse of what childhood used to be, and still could be—the modern re-creation of the children's garden. If we looked to these examples, we might be able to rescue childhood.
And other facts you should probably know.
On the heels of pot legalization in Washington and Colorado, the movement for less punitive drug policy is coalescing at every level. Its new leaders could come from the very countries that have suffered the most.
In her new book, Diane Ravitch—one of the leading thinkers behind the controversial Bush-era law—explores how the faulty logic of high-stakes testing, charter school expansion, and privatization hinders education.
Parents, students, and teachers all over the country have joined the revolt to liberate our kids from a test-obsessed education system.
In the tradition of "Maus" and "Persepolis," "March" tells the story of young African Americans who, like its author, rose up from the Jim Crow South to assert their human rights.
"The United States of Energy" was a colorful series of lessons on the advantages of coal, aimed at 4th-graders—and sponsored by Big Coal. Here's how educators and activists worked together to get it out of classrooms.
When it comes to limiting digital rights, big companies are in cahoots with governments like never before. But the belief that everyone deserves safe, affordable, and private access to the Internet is taking off.

Next month, the battle over the future of London Underground ticket offices is going to escalate. The Rail, Maritime & Transport Workers (RMT) Union confirmed on Friday that its members are going to hold two 48-hour strikes on the Underground in February, due to proposed changes by London mayor Boris Johnson and Transport for London (TfL).
Johnson and TfL revealed in November a plan to transform the Tube into a "21st century service." This involves operating a 24-hour service on parts of the network at weekends; rolling out WiFi in most below-ground stations this year; and closing all 268 ticket offices by the end of 2015 with the loss of 950 ticket staff jobs.
Bob Crow, RMT general secretary, has criticized the "cash-led cuts" and said closing the ticket offices is "unacceptable... when the Tube network is under growing pressure from customer demand" and needs more staff, not less. I have some sympathy with his view. I am concerned that replacing ticket office staff with tablet-wielding colleagues will affect the service they offer, particularly to tourists, the elderly, and disabled.
But I am also interested in the other proposals for the ticket offices that have surfaced since Johnson and TfL revealed their vision for a "21st century service" on the Tube.
Most of these are retail-focused. Only a few days after the plan was announced, it was revealed that online retail giant Amazon was in talks with TfL about converting the ticket offices into "drop-off" lockers for goods bought online. There are already such lockers in shopping centres and offices; and stations look a good way to grow that network.
Supermarkets are also looking at how to use these spaces. Marks & Spencer, Waitrose, and Asda are in talks about how they might use the ticket offices; and Asda has already started trialling a click and collect service outside six Tube stations. Graeme Craig, director of commercial development at TfL, told the Financial Times he is looking at ways to create a "supermarket aisle" in stations to serve busy commuters.
And Boris Johnson said on his LBC 97.3 radio phone-in show last month that TfL is also considering turning some of the ticket offices into coffee shops. These are all services that I would use, but I'd also like to see more non-retail uses in these discussions.
These small spaces could suit a network of small business centres that enable people to drop in for a short term and work without having to visit an overpriced coffee shop. The Tube is installing WiFi in all below-ground stations anyway, so this could help it get some value for that; and it could help workers become more productive out of the office.
They could suit health services. I'm guilty of avoiding my doctor, dentist, and optician because I'm too busy to take time off for a routine check-up; but I'd be more likely to do so if there were experts in locations that I'm passing through. This could help people to get or remain healthy; and help businesses by keeping their staff healthier for longer.
And what about public toilets? The British Toilet Association says 40% of public toilets in the UK have closed over the last decade. Opening new ones in some of these ticket offices could make cities friendlier for the elderly, and those of us with children who sometimes need to do an impromptu nappy change while we're out and about.
Retail should still feature in these discussions, but it isn't the only option. There are plenty of things Johnson can do if he wants to make London more people-friendly.

Worlds Inc. has begun a lawsuit against World of Warcraft creator Activision Blizzard. The firm asserts that games like World of Warcraft and Call of Duty infringe on its patent regarding a "system and method for enabling users to interact in a virtual space." The patent seems extremely broad, but they did manage to use it to get a settlement out of NCSoft for City of Heroes in 2010.
"Technologies created by Worlds have helped the businesses of virtual worlds gaming and the sale of virtual goods to grow into a multi-billion dollar industry," said Worlds CEO Thom Kidrin. "While we are pleased to see that the gaming industry and its rapidly growing customer base have enthusiastically embraced our patented technologies, we deserve fair compensation for their use."
It will be interesting to see how this plays out in court. If this patent is truly infringed upon by World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, I think many other games would also be considered infringing. That said, I haven't read the patent in full detail. It's scary that a patent can be this broad. It stifles innovation.

So, the GOs wearing each others' avis as "costumes" got me thinking and I was wondering if there's a story behind your avi. Obviously some people use pics of themselves or their families - if you do that, why did you pick that particular photo? What is it's significance? For people with seemingly random photos, share your story! Enquiring minds want to know.

"Big Brother" 2014 spoilers are already pretty juicy. Though the first episode of "Big Brother 16" hasn't aired, information is already leaking. The first major "Big Brother" 2014 spoilers reveal that the first HOH (Head of Household) competition has taken place in the house. According to a report from Big Brother Network on Tuesday night (June 24), the first eight houseguests have entered the house and participated in the first competition.
Joey Van Pelt, Amber Borzotra, Frankie Grande, Nicole Franzel, Paola Shea, Donny Thompson, Devin Shepherd, and Cody Calafiore are in that first group of competitors. This season producers have split the competitors in half, with each group participating in an HOH competition right away. While it hasn't been explained fully, there will be two houseguests with the HOH title each week in the house. They will also each get to select nominations. That group will be shown entering the house on Wednesday (June 25).
According to these "Big Brother" 2014 spoilers, the members of group two will move in to the house during the Thursday night episode (June 26). Those competitors are Brittany Martinez, Caleb Reynolds, Christine Brecht, Derrick Levasseur, Hayden Voss, Jocasta Odom, Victoria Rafaeli, and Zach Rance. It has already been suggested that they too have already completed an HOH competition, leading to the assumption that there are already two people in power within the house.
As has been advertised on the main CBS site for the show, the season premiere has been split into two nights so that they can show the separate entrances of the houseguests. The season premiere is on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. PT/ET on CBS. From there, new episodes of "Big Brother 16" will air every Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday night during the summer.
The names of the winners haven't yet been leaked, but it's possible that some of the fan sites could figure it out before the first two episodes air on CBS. If not, the producers will show it during the typical "pretend it's live" season premiere.

This has been going on since the end of apartheid.
Daily Mail (UK): Mandela's passing and the looming threat of a race war against South Africa's whites. As a widow mourns the latest murdered Afrikaner farmer, a chilling dispatch from a nation holding its breath
(h/t: Iron Fist)
- Roelof du Plessis, 46 shot on his farm outside Pretoria by gang of black intruders
- Fears rise that killings are part of a systematic bid to drive white people out of South Africa
- President Jacob Zuma known to sing 'struggle song' about killing white Afrikaners
The horror started just before midnight on Wednesday this week.
After listening to the latest television news about the health of Nelson Mandela, a South African family living not far from the former President's hospital unit turned in for the night.
But Roelof and Laura du Plessis, a married couple with four children who live on a heavily fortified farm outside Pretoria, did not have a peaceful night's rest.
In fact they were about to become the latest victims of what white pressure groups in this troubled nation say is nothing less than a savage war against them.
Hearing noises outside their home, Mr du Plessis, 46, got out of bed and ran outside.
To his horror, he found his 19-year-old son being held with a gun to his head by a gang of five armed black attackers.
Father and son were ordered to lie on the ground. The invaders did not ask for money or the keys to the expensive vehicles in the drive. They were there only to terrorise and kill.
Much more here.

Do Libyan Rebels Want to Join Occupy Wall Street?
Some interesting graffiti in Libya.
This graffiti on a shuttered shop in Sirte, Libya, is probably just a message of solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement, not a promise by Libyan rebels to come overthrow the banking industry just as they overthrew Muammar Qaddafi. We hope, at least. Things are crazy enough over here without the presence of machine-gun-toting Libyan insurgents. Guitar guy is welcome any time, however. He'll fit right in.

NORMAN, Okla.- Oklahoma's Allen Patrick ran for 110 yards and a fourth-quarter touchdown to lead th No. 20 Sooners to a 24-3 win over Colorado Saturday night in their first game without Adrian Peterson.
Paul Thompson added a touchdown pass to Manuel Johnson, and Oklahoma used a wind gusting up to 30 mph as its ally throughout the game.
Colorado (1-7, 1-3 Big 12) couldn't do much on offense, no matter which way the wind was blowing. The Buffaloes managed only two first downs on their first nine possessions, and Bernard Jackson didn't complete his second pass until the fourth quarter.
He finished 3-for-14 for 39 yards with one interception, and Colorado had a season-low 113 yards of total offense.
The Buffaloes avoided their first shutout in 18 years on Mason Crosby's 39-yard field goal, a line drive into the wind, with 6:13 to play. The last time Colorado was shut out was a 7-0 loss at Nebraska on Nov. 12, 1988 - a span of 218 games.
With Peterson expected to miss the rest of the regular season, it was up to his former roommate to carry the load. In his first start, Patrick surpassed his career-high for carries early in the third quarter and finished with 35 rushes - more than even Peterson has had in a game this season.
He was the first player to run for more than 100 yards this season against Colorado, which entered with the nation's No. 9 defense against the run.
Patrick got the ball on seven straight plays as Oklahoma ran out most of the final 6:13, finally getting a rest after converting a fourth-and-inches with 2 1/2 minutes left. Freshman Chris Brown took over and scored on a 4-yard run with 17 seconds left.
The Sooners (5-2, 2-1) got all four of their scores going with the wind, and coach Bob Stoops even called two timeouts to keep the wind at Oklahoma's back before Garrett Hartley's 46-yard field goal that made it 10-0 at the end of the first quarter.
Oklahoma went to Patrick heavily from the start. He carried seven times for 36 yards on the Sooners' first scoring drive, setting up Thompson's 3-yard TD pass that Johnson caught with one foot inside the left edge of the end zone.
Matt DiLallo's 22-yard punt into the wind gave Oklahoma field position for Hartley's field goal, and neither team moved the ball much until the fourth quarter.
Crosby missed a 56-yard field-goal attempt wide left that would have pulled Colorado within 10-3 in the second quarter, and Zach Latimer intercepted a tipped pass by Jackson after the Buffaloes had taken possession in Oklahoma territory on Jordan Dizon's fumble recovery.
The loss ended any remaining bowl hopes for Colorado, which ended a 10-game losing streak with a win against Texas Tech last week. The Buffaloes are winless in their last 13 games against ranked opponents.
