Black Patriotism
In two days, some of you will wave sparklers and flags like wands, others of you may head to the local park for a thunderous fireworks display, and a few of you may even don an outfit with the red, white and blue. The Fourth of July wells many people with patriotism. But, for some African Americans, patriotism doesn't come so easily. A history of slavery, segregation and racism overshadows and contradicts a sense of patriotism — loyalty felt to America. Black poet Langston Hughes captured this contradiction in his poetry and writings. The poem "Let American be America Again" is a lyrical criticism of the notion of freedom and the realities of inequality. "There's never been equality for me.. Nor freedom in this 'homeland of the free,'" he writes. And in "I, Too, Sing America" he reminds us that black America is American. Today, we talk about black love of country and why some African Americans struggle with it. If you're black, do you struggle with patriotism?

If Langston Hughes thinks America is a raw deal, he should try Zimbabwe the Sudan, the Congo for size. God bless America, however imperfect!
I believe Michelle Obama said it was the first time she was 'really' proud of her country. Check it out. Would make a difference.
When I say the pledge, I think of the ideals that our nation stands for and what I can do to help it live up to those ideals. I keep my mouth closed at the "under god" phrase because one of those ideals is separation of church and State and I believe strongly that this 1954 addition to the pledge should be removed.
You have misquoted Michelle Obama. What she said was, " For the first time in my life, I am REALLY proud of my country.."
She was saying, like many African-Americans feel, that she has always been proud of her country, but recent events have increased that pride.
Your misquote does damage to the dialogue.
The flag pin is not nearly as strong a symbol of Revolutionary American Ideals as Senator Obama, himself, is. Shouldn't some consideration be given to the fact that he has already worked within the American polical process to obtain one of the highest offices in the land?
I'm white, a gay man living in a red state that voted to amend the state constitution to prevent me from gaining
equal rights. Because of that legislation it is now a struggle for gay families to even get health insurance benefits through their employer.
I do not hate my country, I do not wish my country ill fortune, but given the right opportunity, I would not hesitate to walk away from my country and accept citizenship in a new home that treats me as an equal citizen.
I don't like to compare the gay rights movement to the civil rights movement, there are big differences but through my own experience I try to imagine how it feels to be part of a racial minority that has been treated as second class.
A strong sense of patriotism requires having something to be proud of, I've been ashamed and embarrassed by my country over the last 8 years as my community has been used in the worst possible way for political gain. There is a similar history with African Americans and the Republican's Southern Strategy that continues to this day.
I am not African American, but have worked all my life for civil rights, beginning in the 60's. I risked my life for my belief in our country's ability to grow beyond racism. But I believe that our generation was robbed of our dreams, actually losing much of our patriotic ideals. For the first time, beginning with Bill Clinton and now especially with Barack Obama, we are beginning to dare to believe that patriotism might be tangible for us. I am deeply patriotic, but like most of my compatriots, I have been ashamed to be American, both here and abroad. Finally, we can hope that our patriotism is meaningful
Hello, can your guest address the "otherness" that Latinos have been placed into and how their patriotism have also been question in various forms. For example, when Latinos bring out flags representing their own countries.
Here's the thing--blacks in America have been asked to take care of us who are white--to carry the current and past burdens of racism all the while allowing whites to think they are not racist. Any black person who wants to discuss current racism suddenly gets the race card played on him by whites who start complaining that he or she is "playing the race card."
I'm especially sensitive at the moment, as I am reading "Slavery by Another Name" (Douglas Blackmon) and just heard Harper Barnes talk about his new book " Never Been a Time: The 1917 Race Riot That Sparked the Civil Rights Movement" and am thus confronting the history of white American behavior and attitudes toward black Americans which, I believe, lingers today.
I actually know it lingers as I hear Neil's tone of voice as he demands to be reassured that all that is in the distant past and has no affect on blacks today.
Phooey. We are all guilty and we need to start owning up.
The discussion of this show is important to the nation, but it is based on the premise that the questioning of Sen. Obama's pratriotism is genuine. It is a campaign strategy aimed at getting votes. Those questioning his patriotism are only using it to win, they could care less if it is true.
I too have difficulty with the phrase : liberty and justice for all. As an Anglo woman I have seen too much inequality, and injustice, to believe that being a Patriot means accepting all of the institutional practices that our Government has historically been involved in. Sadly, we seem to unwilling to look at our history realistically. I am pleased to think we can have a more realistic and deeply representative government--It is about time. How can we question our citizens patriotism?
The mayor of Denver did his state of the city yesterday in which a professional black singer decided at the last minute to sing instead of the Star Spangled Banner; the black national anthem. She told the TV stations; she only told her husband and a friend before hand; she wasnt sorry she did this and she decided this on her own.
This made the news all over the metro area and alot of people were upset that not only someone is hired to do a job (doing it 10 years) but doesnt do it but as well no one stopped her from doing it.
We are not black but we are disabled and we can understand being discriminated against but this went too far. While you may not fully respect the national anthem; you are hired and paid to do a specific job and that doesnt give you the right to voice your opinions by doing another song.
The topic of this program is absurd. Should anyone be patriotic? Should gay people be patriotic? Should poor people? Should atheists?
Are black Africans patriotic, they did after-all take part in selling the slaves to America. Not to mention all the other egregious cases of blacks treating blacks poorly in Africa, gee Rwanda. How much time has to pass before it is okay for black Americans to be patriotic? I personally, don't think anyone should feel patriotic, but to argue on these grounds is really lame.
I really am so sick and tired of the abandonment of all reason on NPR when it involves black Americans. It is real shame. This intellectual dishonesty makes people really not care.
I am a white American and I have not heard anything from the panel of African Americans that I would disagree with. I find it difficult,knowing our history, to wholeheartedly fell a sense of patriotism to the United States. There are maning wonderful things about this counrty including its Constitution/Amendments/Bill of rights. Yet there is a cloud of hypocrisy that has loomed over us since the country's inception and you don't have to be an African American to appreciate that and to feel both a sense of shame and frustration regarding these issues.
Thank you for this discussion. I am a 37 year old white female and feel there are many wounds that have not been healed from slavery in this country. We cannot ignore or cover them up thinking that slavery happenend so long ago and that it does not affect us now. To heal these wounds we need to be concious of the inequality and injustice that has happened in the past and that continues to this day. Please continue have such frank and open conversations.
H-E-L-P! I am a black American in the discipline of architecture connected to a prominent university in the US. I speak in code words to my identity because the discipline is run by those who are racist/supremacist in theory and practice, and the community is small and will "blacklist" people for their comments. This country has a lot of work to do on the topic of race and the most "liberal" of people and disciplines are some of the worse criminals. Yes things are better than the past, yes I KNOW I am American, but we cannot hide from the inequality that exists even at the levels of those blacks in prominent professionals.
Why did everyone fault what Michelle Obama said and no one took McCains wife to task about her statement. As an African American Waoman I was offended by her comment. Was she proud when she learned about the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, or the internment of the Japenese during World War II, or when she read about Wounded Knee. I love this country but I am not always proud of it. I think African Americans love it more because we have love this country even when we were not loved in return.
We develop ideas about people and things in part by the way we label them. If African-Americans want to be partiotic, they should simply label themselves as Americans, not African-Americans. Few of them are Africans. Most of the ones living here having been born here. If they want ot be viewd as patriots, they should refer to themselves are Americans. Or perhaps Americans of african descent. Calling themselves African-American indicates a preference for being African over being American. I say, if you are born in the United States, you cannot be aything other than an Amreican. Be proud of your heritage, but be American first.
I was a long time volunteer in the Texas prison system & now work for the court in Hays County, Texas & I am ceratin that there is far more predjudice of blacks against whites than the other way around. On my mother's side,my family was made up of Quakers who assisted in the underground railroad & Union soldiers died on my father's side and we are now a mixed race family. But often,that does not stop African Americans from mistrusting me & sometimes treating me w/disrespect.
What would be those folks condition if their own ancestors had not sold them into slavery? Facing that issue honestly should produce some form of patriortism for this country.
We should read Frederick Douglass's speech given in 1852 when asked to give a 4th of July address, the last paragraph of which says, "Go search where you will, roam through all the monarchies and despotisms of the Old World, travel through South America, search out every abuse and when you have found the last, lay your facts by the side of the everyday practices of this nation, and you will say with me that, for revolting barbarity and shameless hypocrisy, America reigns without rival."
...In a country riddled with a constant effort to develop our political status both locally and internationally, I have noticed an essential "blip" regarding the pride of country;
In all of these healthy debates, we forget that this type of dialogue regarding social injustice is not only open & entertained but can do so while BROADCASTED on a national level!
I found my patriotism lies with that simple luxury, and how proactive it can be for the future.
Thank You for it!
Why does it seem that the media is teaching the black community to whine about the past? Keep living and move on in this future-American culture includes all of us here to make it the best we can, with the past teaching us what not to do again. Photos of the past, be they there or not, do not disprove what we know in writing. Sometimes photos are lost in homes or home fires. I see plenty old photos at garage sales. Mr. Glover's concerns about the few published photos of blacks in civil war are biased. I've seen many of the black soldiers just in my children's text books. I can be biased too, where are the photos of all the black women who supported these men, or the white women for that matter?
I think that some of these discussion instills racism in African Americans where there was no ill feelings before. What is the purpose? My ancestors had a terrible life, but I dwell upon making mine the best that I can despite their past. LARGE CHESTED WOMEN ARE ALWAYS STARED AT IN UGLY WAYS - SO, get over it! MOVE ON, MAKE IT THE BEST, STOP WHINING. After-all, Better here than in Saudi Arabia where women are not seen.
I wanted to respond to a comment made about, African Americans understanding Michelle Obama's comment about being "proud of her country for the first time." I felt the same way, that we understood. I saw it in a new light, when Whoopi Goldberg made a point of actually playing the clip of Mrs. Obama's speech on the View. What she said was "for the first time she was really proud of her country". That really made a different I think even white america would have understood. The fact that it was deleted is another thing that African Americans understand also.
I am an Afro-American although I consider myself an American-Afro. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps in Vietnam, and received a combat award. Unlike most immigrants who come to America and who maintain some identity to their native country even if they have never actually visited that country, this is not true for Americans with an Africian ethnic heritage. Whether Americans-Africians acknowledge it or not, they are more American than Native Americans. The American culture, however you define it, is the only culture we truly know and feel comfortable experiencing. Our American culture is deeply rooted in the soil of American slavery. The stench of brutal and inhuman enslavement connects every cell of our body. Its in the food we love, our belief in God, our anger, and our struggle to fully recover. Nevertheless, our patriotism and belief in the higher character and values of America has remained consistently high through the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Jim Crow Impositions, Indian Wars, WWI, Depression, New Deal, WWII, Korean Conflict, Vietnam Conflict, Desert Storm I, Desert Storm II, and Iraq Occupation. No embattled citizenry in history has been more patrotic than Americans of Africian heritage. This includes me.
As a 32 year old African- American, I appreciate NPR for presenting such a wonderful program. While I also love my country, I have also struggled with patriotism for my country.As the daughter of a WWII veteran, the sister to the first African-American girl who attended my cities all white high school, as well as growing up in a city which staged the only state supported government coup in American history (1898 riot), which affected my family both financially and emotionally for years, I can understand and apperciate the struggles of my family. I was raised to always be proud of the progress of those around you, but to always view whites in America with caution. However, I was also taught to never turn a person away who is sincere in there actions and deeds, It's been done to often to us (African-Americans) for it to happen to anyone else.
When I heard the comments of Michelle Obama, I felt I could relate to how she felt and could not understand why others could not. It took many days of pondering to know that not everyone in America shares the same family or cultural history.
I would like to thank NPR again, for allowing the views of African Americans to be heard when it relates to patriotism.
I disagree with the comment left by Scott. Some of the Africans that sold other Africans into slavery did not care that the people they sold into slavery where fellow Africans. They sold people because they got something in return that they valued more, whether it was guns, fabrics, foods or in some cases their own freedom. As far as my thoughts on the topic of Black Patriotism it is a difficult issue for some blacks, at least those who are the decedents of enslaved Africans, because of the history of how the United States government treated blacks for so many decades. (the original enslavement of their ancestors, Jim Crow laws, unfair treatment, etc.)
In reference to "playing the race card," players in card games, usually play the cards they're dealt. Therefore, Blacks or any other non-white groups play the cards they're dealt.
The "odd" (unpatriotic?) responses to America--as some like to think will continue as long as millions of Americans are unable to accurately understand the meaning of words by Senator and Mrs. Obama, The Reverend Wright, any and all people who have a different experience and interpretation from the jingoistic,flag wavers. There is a different drummer,many of them.
One of the speakers spoke of race making Obama the "outsider" and contributed to the accusations against his patriotism (as well as being Muslim, etc.,). I would argue that while this IS a variable, one must also take into account the fact that he is what people are beginning to call a "Third Culture Kid". This is someone who spends a significant part of their developmental years outside their parents home culture. Obama's father being Kenyan, and Obama having himself lived in Indonesia as a child, have made him a "TCK".
I would argue that this is also a variable which creates "exclusion". Many Americans who are TCKs have issues with acceptance within the community because there is an element of society which views them as outsiders despite that their language, their basic culture, and their education has been "American". For me, while race IS a big issue, it is not the only issue that contributes to "exclusion"
To the man of German descent who questioned the patriotism of African Americans while repeating the mythology of the patriotic fast Americanized immigrant.
I suggest he read his own American history before defaming mine. There are parts of Wisconsin where German was spoken in 'hoods the way Spanish is the local lingo of East Harlem.
And, speaking of patriotism, as recently as the 1940s the pro NAZI, pro German nationalist group the Bund were goose stepping in the Manhattan neighborhood of Yorkville. Hardly, patriotic.
Thanks for the segment "Shades Of Gray Cloak Black Patriotism." I appreciated not only the wisdom of your guests, but the insights of your callers. I fully support Barack Obama's choice NOT to wear a flag lapel pin. In fact, since 9/11, the ubiquity of the suit and tie with the flag pin on the lapel has become a sort of uniform, not unlike the Nazi swastika was in the late thirtys and early forties. As my anthropologist fianc?? says, "A lot of people do a lot of bad things and then cover them up by wearing a flag lapel pin." Let's put this "FLaP" behind us and remember that this IS a free country.
I am a patriot and a veteran (served in Iraq, Kuwait and Afganistan between 2001 and 2005) but because of my skin color or the block I check my patriotism is often devalued. And to most Americans confusion the "White Block" includes Arabian and North African people....Kinda interesting I'd say...
I was not born in America. I am a naturalized citizen of America. I consider myself an American, but am forced to accept the status quo of African American. As an outsider, I understand why some African-American's views on patriotism and their lack of acknowledgement. The history of America show black Americans have been denied, they have had to struggled and fight for the same rights as white americans despite all they have done and contributed to this country. So why be patriotic when we are not accepted and treated as such
HARARE, Zimbabwe -- About 220 Zimbabweans have fled to the U.S. Embassy in Harare, seeking refuge from election-related violence, embassy spokesman Mark Weinberg said Thursday.
Don't they know that U.S. is racist? They ought to seek refuge with a country that wasn't built on slavery.
Like every edition of TOTN which I've heard that's dealt with this whole problem of race, touched off by the success of this amazing half white/half black candidate, I'm driven nearly to tears when listening to the dignity and fears of our black citizens.
It's not a matter of being ashamed of my race which has perpetrated the most appalling injustices upon those of color, not even a matter of being still appalled at how excruciatingly slowly progress is being made at repairing the monumental insults, not even being profoundly embarrassed by the stinginess and lack of imagination of those of my race in equitably resolving the horrific affront done to those of color in the service of greed.
For me, there's a big component of joy at hearing the truths that your guests are willing to express, and that joy seems to want to be expressed with tears rather than smiles and laughter.
Thank you so much for making these opportunities for us white people to hear our compatriots of color speak so eloquently of their lives.
Why do we not hear much about the Native American? No one seems to want to talk about the atrocities inflicted on these people. Trail of Tears etc. I wonder how many people even know about such things. Who wants to discuss their patriotism?
My late father-in-law, who was of Italian birth, saw German and Italian prisoners of war being treated more deferentially than African-American soldiers, and found the treatment of peaceful civil rights marchers to be similar to the treatment of protesters in fascist Italy. I'm surprised at the lack of bitterness among the African-American community.
This country is built on the solid patriotism of people like Michael, MNH, Shayna, and DJ. I am so impressed by your experience and comments. Maybe people like Mo will learn from you some day.

General Petraeus resigned as head of the CIA on Friday, after an FBI investigation uncovered an extramarital affair with Ms Broadwell.
The investigation began when Jill Kelley, a long-time friend of the Petraeus family, complained to the FBI that Ms Broadwell had sent her threatening emails, warning her to stay away from Mr Petraeus.
Meanwhile, a senior defence official has said under condition of anonymity that General John Allen, the top US commander in Afghanistan, is also under investigation for alleged inappropriate communication with Ms Kelley, the very same woman who sparked the investigation into Broadwell and Petraeus.
The US official said the FBI uncovered between 20,000 and 30,000 pages of communications, mostly emails spanning from 2010 to 2012, between Gen Allen and Ms Kelley.
It is still unknown if the documents reveal the disclosure of classified information. The US defence official said that the concern only lies with "inappropriate communications".
Defence Secretary Leon Panetta has said that he asked that Allen's nomination to be Commander of US European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe be delayed and added that President Barack Obama agreed.

The global financial crisis has brought into sharper focus the long-term shift in economic power towards the developing world. Global consumer product companies are embracing this underlying trend and the mantra of reaching the next one billion customers in emerging markets.
To help companies turn their ambitions into reality, we've conducted a research project to understand the differences in shopping behaviour around the world. The research also highlights some of the issues western consumer product companies and grocers should consider, before launching in developing markets.
The study consisted of 5,375 consumers in the UK, US, Brazil, China, India and Nigeria. All questions were asked through a survey taken via the mobile Internet and we used our own panel of respondents.
Key considerations for developing markets:
In developing markets people are more inclined to use public transport or walk, therefore smaller sized products and low cost basket sizes will have more appeal.
Local brands and stores should not be underestimated - shopkeepers are the gatekeepers and even the best conceived consumer strategies need their support to succeed.
Setting up shop in close proximity to where people live is a critical success factor, as is having access to a local distribution network. To give the data a human perspective we also asked respondents to take a picture on their mobile of their main grocery store, the transportation they use to get to the store and their grocery shopping.
The images provide a stark contrast in lifestyles around the world.

The CW's Supernatural spinoff is looking a lot clearer as the days go by. Soon after it was revealed the new series will be set in Chicago, executive producers Jeremy Carver and Robert Singer have offered Entertainment Weekly more details about the project.
The backdoor pilot has been slotted in as the 20th episode of Supernatural's upcoming ninth season. "We'll have main characters who are both human and monsters," Carver said. Singer added that "families of monsters and families of hunters," will also feature heavily in the show.
The new show, described by Singer as "more of an ensemble," will also feature a new group of characters, which will give Supernatural stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki an opportunity to appear and meet new people.
"Most spinoffs, you spin characters out and create a show about them," Singer said. "Jared and Jensen will be in the spinoff, but it's an entirely different cast of characters. And unlike Supernatural – which is a road show — this will take place in one place with a wider cast of characters."
For fans who might be thinking news of a new series means the original is looking toward its end, don't worry: The CW President Mark Pedowitz assures that, "As long as they keep telling great stories and Jared and Jensen still want to do it, why wouldn't you continue?"
Please let the spin off not be about men of letters… I felt like that whole story point in the most recent season was horrible!
What about Misha Collins? It'd be awesome if he was in the spinoff too…
I thought it was pretty awesome especially considering how it got them a wicked awesome home.

The Sun Belt has officially announced the addition of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern to the conference effective July 1, 2014.
Appalachian State and Georgia Southern will both be eligible to compete for the Sun Belt Championship for the 2014 season. After the 2015 season, both schools will then be eligible to participate in bowl games.
Both schools are members of the Southern Conference and are perennial powerhouses in the Football Championship Subdivision. Appalachian State has collected three national championships and won or shared the Southern Conference championship 12 times.
Georgia Southern has twice as many national championships as Appalachian State with six, but two less Southern Conference titles (ten). GSU also trails in the head-to-head series 11-14-1.
"Georgia Southern University has a rich history in athletics dating back to 1909 and has won six football national championships at the FCS level, so it brings a winning tradition to the Sun Belt Conference," said Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr., Chancellor of Troy University and President of the Sun Belt Conference Executive Committee. "More important, GSU is an outstanding public institution that is a good fit for our league—academically, athletically and geographically."
"Appalachian State University adds value to the Sun Belt Conference academically and athletically, plus it fits well in our league's southeastern geographic footprint," said Hawkins. "ASU offers a well-rounded athletics program and has one of the premier FCS football programs in the nation. Appalachian State is a welcome addition to a growing conference."
The addition of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern gives the Sun Belt Conference ten football-playing members for the 2014 season. Current members include Arkansas State, Georgia State, South Alabama, Texas State, Troy, UL Lafayette, ULM, and Western Kentucky.
The Sun Belt football membership is expected to expand to 12 as early as next week with the additions of Idaho and New Mexico State. The conference would then split into divisions, likely geographical (see below), with each division winner facing off in a championship game held on campus.
East Division*
Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, South Alabama, Troy, Western Kentucky
West Division*
Arkansas State, Idaho, New Mexico State, Texas State, UL Lafayette, ULM
*FBSchedules.com prediction only.
Someone should turn off the lights for this crap conference!
No one seems to be minding the front office of this disaster…
Sun Belt will go the way of the WAC (and Big West before that). It's only a matter of time.
The Sun Belt has many years left. There's no other place for these schools to go for the forseeable future. Looks like a pretty solid slate of schools some decent ballclubs.
If that were true, what would happen to all of those schools? They couldn't compete even in the Big East or Mountain West
While it is a weak conference you have to remember only 1 FCS team counts for bowl eligibility(and most likely playoff)this is a fbs conference which insures a win that could have trouble with the higher end FCS teams. Teams from the SEC or Big 12 could schedule these schools and could argue that since they didn't play a fcs team that they should have a higher ranking.
GSU and ASU would beat Wake, Duke, BC and Maryland from the ACC hands down.
In REALITY, that would NOT happen. (-:
If the ACC team was the road team? Perhaps.
FYI – GaSo just joined obscurity and oblivion! And quit pretending to be named "GSU."
Idaho could beat 80% of all high school teams guarenteed!
Any given Saturday a team will compete doesnt mean they are good, but sometimes the underdog wins 1 out 20 games played against the top conferences. Just see this conference as JV before they play Varsity.
I know that App. State was trying to join C-USA for a little while. They never joined them, so now they joined the Sun Belt
ATLMAFIA, they shouldn't turn off the lights they should just revoke georgia state's football membership. I mean what Athletic Department and Football conference looks at a team that went 1-10 in the Colonial Athletic Association and thinks moving up a division is a wise choice? At least The Georgia Southern University Eagles are proven winners: 275-101 (.731) with 9 conf. titles and 6 national champs (GA. So). However, what you should do is stop hating on Georgia Southern every chance you get. I swear you have been on every forum regarding our move up. I guess you must be compensating for something small…like an overall record 10-23 (.303).
While GA State isn't worthy of being in the Sun Belt, GS is worthy.

Alchema makes your hipster small-batch cider brewing dreams come true
When I was in high school, a friend of mine wanted to brew his own beer and his setup involved a bath tub and a lot of food safety risk.

Alchema CEO and co-founder Oscar Chang wanted to make… Read More

Girl threatens to jump from 50-foot tower at center
Published: Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at 11:33 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at 12:57 p.m.
THIBODAUX -- A teenage girl threatened to jump from the top of a five-story tower Monday afternoon, spending two hours there before negotiators persuaded her to come down.
Authorities say they dont know why the unidentified 15-year-old climbed atop the 50-foot wooden structure near the Lafourche Parish Juvenile Justice Center about 4 p.m. Thibodaux Police, firefighters and State Police were called to the tower, standing by while Thibodaux Police Sgt. Laura Guise talked with her.
After talking with Guise, the girl, whose name is not being released because of her age, agreed to let Bob Licalzi, program director for the Juvenile Justice Center, help her rappel down.
The girl arrived at the Juvenile Justice Center Aug. 30 from Baton Rouge, said Bob Licalzi, program director for the Juvenile Justice Center. She stayed in the onsite emergency shelter, which can accommodate 15 children, and attended school at the center.
Its staff uses the tower -- on the same plot of land as the Juvenile Justice Center on Veterans Boulevard -- for exercises designed to teach children self-respect and self-discipline.
"She came down virtually without incident," Thibodaux Police Chief Craig Melancon said of the girl.
"Weve had kids try to make it onto the course, but this is the first time weve had one climb (the tower)," Licalzi added. "Thats one of the reasons" the towers rungs are so high.
The teen must have squeezed through a crack in the locked gates, Licalzi said. From there, she used a ladder inside the gates to reach the lowest rungs, which are 10-12 feet off the ground.
Residents in the emergency shelter are allowed to walk freely throughout the area, Licalzi said. Workers at the center are generally able to persuade residents not to leave the grounds, he added.
The girl previously spent time in the state foster-care program for abused and neglected children, police said.
Licalzi said his office made attempts to call the girls state worker afterward.
The girl is not facing any disciplinary action but will be subject to writing a series of periodic 10-minute journal entries daily.
"We hope to prepare her to move on to wherever shes going next," Licalzi said.

Neca Figures Really Capture Contra's Good Side
Figure maker Neca has been doing great things with their video game appearance line over the past couple of years. Lance and Bill from Contra might be the best yet. It's all about those bullets.
Figure maker Neca has been doing great things with their video game appearance line over the past couple of years. Lance and Bill from Contra might be the best yet. It's all about those bullets.
It was one of the first NES games to include the well-known Konami code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A) and now thanks to NECA, Contra fans can finally own action figure versions of the game's main characters: Private First Class Bill Rizer and Lance Bean.
Fourteen years after first appearing in Halo: Combat Evolved on the original Xbox, the Needler still remains a popular choice of weaponry among the game's fans. And as dangerous as it is to Master Chiefs and Covenant forces, NECA Toy's new animated Needler replica is an even greater threat to your budget.
We've known for a while that Striker Eureka would be NECA's next plus sized Pacific Rim toy — but now that the figure is hitting shelves next week, the company have released more pictures of the toy, and it's looking rather lovely indeed.
Across its handful of properties Blizzard has some of the most iconic characters in gaming. It's free-to-play MOBA Heroes of the Storm brings them all together, and now NECA's Heroes of the Storm action figure line is making toy collectors' dreams come true.
NECA just announced its new toy line based on the 1993 video game Robocop vs. The Terminator:
Before he let himself go, Marlon Brando was pretty much the pinnacle of American masculinity. Too bad that Halo didn't come out until a few months after the actor already finished his final role in the 2001 thriller The Score, then. Because you know what he could've used 48 years earlier on the set for The Wild One? A…
As promised back in April, the folks at WizKids/NECA have come through on the BioShock Infinite front, delivering a set of tiny playable figurines that look just like the promotional, only with incredibly sloppy paint jobs.
Commence to placing finger guns to your temple (or under your chin). NECA, makers of all sorts of plastic goodness for gamers, will have a latex Psycho mask from Borderlands 2—and another for insufferable baddie Handsome Jack, available in September.
Friday the 13th, the 1989 game, is widely considered to be one of the worst video games of all time, certainly one of the worst ever made for the NES. So of course it rates a special edition figurine—Jason Vorhees in the strange purple getup he wore for the final, deeply unsatisfying boss battle.
Last year, we saw a prototype of a Half-Life 2 gravity gun made by NECA, a toy company previously behind the replica Portal guns. While the gravity gun replica won't be out until June, NECA released the first official image of the final design this Monday. Take a look.
Coming this summer to a hobby shop near you, the ultimate struggle for air superiority (or against air superiority?) spills over into WizKids/NECA's HeroClix universe. I cannot wait to pit old guy in suit against Wolverine.
Sadly, it won't make the holiday shopping season, but toy company NECA's replica Half-Life 2 gravity gun will be available for purchase next Spring.
While we've shown the Gordon Freeman and Left 4 Dead figures before, this gallery of images from Comic-Con give us a good look at some other video game figures coming from toy company NECA, including their Borderlands 2 line and some awesome Team Fortress 2 pieces.
Earlier this year NECA displayed the prototype for their Gordon Freeman action figure at the international Toy Fair in New York. Now, Mr. Freeman is almost ready to come out and play in all his scientific glory.
Limited to just 5000 pieces and priced at $150, most of you will never get your hands on one of NECA's replica Portal guns. Ah well. You may as well do the next best thing and check out this video of one of the beasts in action.
Fears of that Portal Gun replica gun being on infinite hold are hopefully vanished to infinity! Starting today, collectible toy maker NECA is kicking off pre-orders for its replica Aperture Science Handheld Portable Device.
You know that awesome Portal gun NECA was working on? The one everyone was excited about buying? As it turns out, folks were excited about selling it as well, and that excitement might have just gotten the amazing replica cancelled.
Kotaku was at the New York Toy Fair this weekend in full effect, snapping photos, taking footage and just generally gawking at all the awesome new video game toys that'll be lining up for your disposable incomes in 2012.
Valve action figures. Based on Half-life, Team Fortress, Portal and Left 4 Dead. It was amazing news back in June, but since then, all we've seen is teases. Nothing final. That changes today.

Clayton Fredericks has announced that he is moving to America 'to expand the Team Fredericks business overseas'.
The plan is for him to move to the United States, to set up a yard and provide teaching and clincis, while also running a branch of the Southern Stars Saddlery business, which is run by Clayton and his brother Kelvin.
He will spend 'significant time in the US initially', according to a statement released by Team Fredericks, while Lucinda will stay in the United Kingdom to manage the team's headquarters at Rosegarth in Wiltshire.
"I have been looking at opportunities to expand Team Fredericks for some time now, and several different options in America have been presented to me. I have spent a lot of time in America and have always felt really welcomed there, and the sheer size of the market means I would be foolish not to explore the possibilities," said Clayton.
Clayton will continue to compete at top level internationally and has plans to compete on the US eventing circuit.
Both Lucinda and Clayton represented Australia on the 2012 London Olympics team, which finished in sixth place.

CHINA: Renault CEO 'very optimistic' on Dongfeng joint venture talks
By Simon Warburton | 26 November 2012
Renault says it is "very optimistic" in discussions with Chinese manufacturer, Dongfeng Motor Group concerning a potential joint venture, but is declining to reveal further details.
The French automaker has been in talks with Dongfeng following a memorandum of understanding [MoU] inked in March and although details are sketchy, including whether any joint venture could set up a $1bn factory in China, it appears the deal is being discussed at the very highest level.
"Things are going along just as planned and [CEO] Carlos Ghosn is very optimistic," a Renault spokeswoman told just-auto from Paris. "We can't comment on any of the figures - it is just speculation from anonymous sources.
"Negotiations are on-going - we can't communicate on any of the articles in the press because we are bound to confidentiality. We signed an MoU at Dongfeng last March ahead of the Beijing Auto Show and we said we planned to arrive at a final agreement at the end of the year, but it could be sooner or later than that."
Dongfeng Motor is China's second largest automaker in terms of sales and has a joint venture with Nissan.
Renault sales in China last year were 24,000 units.

Hello. Hopefully someone can help. I have recently moved from wp.com to w.org. Since then I have received absolutely zero likes for any new post since the migration and no notifications. Also my new blog wasn't appearing on the reader until I inserted a RSS feed into the sidebar. This made by posts appear but without the tags and I am told that users were unable to like the post. On my blog where the wordpress 'like button' is, it constantly says loading. Can someone please help as I am a new blogger and need to expand my audience. My w.org is http://www.travelshutter.net and the old wp.com is travelshutter.wordpress.com.
Please help :/

How to Draw a Cartoon Girl Face
Want to make a quick, easy drawing of a girl? This article can teach you how.
1Draw an oval. This will be the girl's face.
2Draw two small ovals in the first oval. These will be the eyes.
3Draw a slightly curved line about 1 centimeter (0.4 in) above the bottom of the oval. This will be the girl's lower lip.
4Draw a curved line connecting to the slightly curved line underneath it. There are many different lip shapes, so don't stress out about getting it perfect.
5Draw a curved line. It should be located midway between the eyes and slightly below. Below this line, draw two dots. You have just drawn her nose!
6Draw a circle in each eye. Shade or color them in. Then draw three lines at the corners of the eyes; these will be the eyelashes.
7Add the ears and hair. Color in, if you like, and your drawing is complete!

Oh well, it seemed a good idea at the time. Mallard was originally going to use GnomeCanvas as its graphics library, but after some experimentation, we have decided that writing in entirely in Python using PyGTK and PyGame (aka SDL) will be easier and more efficient all round, for both us and the end users. So there you are.

Part of Classic Elite's Verde Collection, Woodland is a beautiful DK blend of wool and nettles, a fiber similar to flax or hemp, but more environmentally friendly as it requires minimal use of chemicals. The two fibers absorb the dye differently, creating a stunning effect with deep, variegated color. Grab these discontinued colors at a great price! Made in Italy.

PreSonus was proud to be a part of the 2013 ASCAP Songwriters Retreat, held September 25th to October 4th at the 14th-century Château Marouatte in the Dordogne region of France—an inspiring place for the lyrically inclined.
And that's the point. ASCAP has designed this retreat to bring out the best in talented writers. This year's 30+ participants were divided into different groups, every day, to write and record, keeping collaborative spirits fresh and healthy. At the end of the session, attendees return home with renewed artistic vigor, their hearts and hard drives full of song.
In fact, a dozen of the songs written at the camp this year are already on hold for major label artists, including The Temper Trap, Kelly Clarkson, Melanie Fiona, Nylo, Jessie Malakouti, and Jon Bellion.
PreSonus was happy to provide a metric heap of equipment to foster the creative process, including:
Photos from the event follow, as well as a kind thank-you video from the songwriters themselves. You're welcome, folks, and we hope you wrote enough hits to fill a 14th-century dining hall. Read more about it here.
Who are you, where are you, and what do you do?
My name is Graham Cochrane. I am a producer, engineer, songwriter, and worship leader based in Tampa, FL. I'm also the founder of The Recording Revolution, a popular audio training resource.
How were you introduced to PreSonus?
Word of mouth, years ago.
What PreSonus software/hardware do you use and for what purpose?
I currently have a Eureka and ADL 700 in my rack. Both are excellent preamps and channel strips that make recording easy and fun. I'm using the Central Station Plus for monitoring. I also do all of my mastering in Studio One Professional. Love that project page!
What's so great about PreSonus, anyhow?
You guys make great products, and make them available at real-world prices, and you have an obvious passion for making music. What more could you want?
What's the last big project that you worked on using PreSonus gear?
I tracked my band's most recent EP using just about nothing but the Eureka on the front end. Everything I've mastered this year has been exclusively in Studio One.
What are you working on now—or next?
Mixing for a few bands this summer. Also writing a new solo album. I'm always making content for The Recording Revolution including a recent video series called Mastering With Stock Plug-ins that was done all in Studio One. It's free, you should check it out!
Where can our readers learn more about you online?
Halocene has been using PreSonus since their first purchase of a FireStudio years ago. Of late they've picked up a StudioLive console, a Eureka, and Studio One Professional 2… and in-between they've opened for Jimmy Eat World and Blink-182.
Lesson learned: You don't need to be signed to a major with world-class studio access to open for a band who is. Just get some PreSonus.
Oh, also be sure to write good songs and be young and enthusiastic. That helps, too.
This just in from Josh Gilligan, who claims "95% of my album was tracked through XMAX preamplifiers," among other things. The proof, as they say, is in the custard, so be sure to scroll down to hear his recordings for yourself.
"Hey, guys! I just wanted to let you all know that PreSonus is a central part of my home studio and production process. I've been a PreSonus user for years with the TubePre and Eureka, and now the Studiolive 16.0.2 and HP4. 95% of my album was tracked through XMAX preamplifiers and I would put their sonic integrity up against just about anything. Looking to go to an interface with an ADAT option soon, and I've got my eye on more PreSonus gear. Thank you guys so much. You really make it possible for independent musicians to make great sounding records on a budget and in tight spaces. I've shared with my friends and they love your gear as well. Listen to my record over on SoundCloud, I couldn't have done it without PreSonus."
-Josh Gilligan
L'dia on Bass, the First Lady of Four Strings, brought the house down with her brand of hip-shaking, string-breaking thunder at our booth at MusikMesse. She recently launched a new website, and wanted to make sure that all the PreSonus fans out there knew about it!
L'dia on Bass is an enthusiastic Eureka and Studio One user, and we're lucky to have her representing us. Check out her new site… she gives lessons, and you could learn a lot!

Tom Ford Soleil Collection is a shimmering, warm-toned collection of eyeshadows, cheek colors, and lip colors. There were several great products in the collection with a few so-so shades, though no total misses. The one downside is that three of the four duos feature a Cream Color for Eyes that has been previously released, so for those who have been collecting them, it will seem redundant. My favorite products were the Pink Glow Eye & Cheek Compact (A) and Golden Peach Duo (A). The collection is available for pre-order online at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Tom Ford.

Compared to him Neil deGrasse Tyson is cool.
Oh wait, make that Orville Redenbacher, if he were still alive.
"Thing"? Gettin' a little sloppy on the spelling of late,Charlos.
Just a minute, how exactly is NdGT not cool, compared to anybody?
And yet, she married him.
Absolutely! Neil's cool just straight up, without comparison to anyone! And he's a great guest on Ferguson. Can't wait for Craig to have him on again sometime.
I'm sorry, although "wife beaters" are third on the list of those deserving to spend eternity in the Fires of Gehenna, "child abusers" being second on the list, there are situations where I'm willing to make exceptions.
A cool and/or trendy person wouldn't have to ask, nor would he need to tell others how cool /trendy he is. He would know it, and others around him will pick up on it. The very fact that he has to ask should answer his question for him. I sometimes go to the point of saying to my wife, "It's a good thing for you I'm such a cool husband, isn't it?". She'll reply, "Oh yes, you're really cool". Not sure what the eye-rolling is all about though.
There is absolutely nothing "cool" or "trendy" about NdGT. Aside from that obvious fact, he's also an arrogant arse. :)

text: farmers The State Of Farming In N.H. By Laura Knoy • Jun 19, 2014 lehcar1477 / Flickr Creative Commons New Hampshire's farm legacy extends to the very beginning of our state's history, when farmers from over-crowded areas in southern New England started to move north in search of more open land. While the soil in New Hampshire was not as fertile as they'd hoped, farmers did take root in the state and are still here. And while the country overall has seen a trend toward fewer, bigger farms, new data from show the reverse in New Hampshire and New England: over the past five years, the state's number of farms has grown 5%, for a total 30% increase over the past decade. Yes Or No To GMOs? By Laura Knoy • Nov 26, 2013 brianjmatis / Flickr Creative Commons The national debate over whether foods that contain 'genetically modified' ingredients should be labeled has come to New Hampshire, with a bill in the legislature to require such language on food products- ranging from corn flakes to canola oil. We're looking the arguments, from questions about health and environmental impacts to the economic costs of labeling. GUESTS: At Dinner Series, You Meet The Farmers And Eat Their Food, Too By Michael Brindley • Aug 1, 2013 NHPR / Michael Brindley Farm-to-table has become increasingly popular among people looking to eat local. But a dinner series in Nashua takes that concept a step further, by connecting people directly to local farmers and the food they produce. Chef Sergio Metes carefully pulls a large pan out of the oven. He takes off a sheet of aluminum foil, releasing a wave of steam. The Dirty Truth Behind Idyllic Farm Photography By Virginia Prescott • Jun 12, 2013 modernfarmer.com As farming takes off for a new generation of hip young homesteaders, beautifully crafted farm photos have made an impression in digital media – who hasn't seen an adorably old-fashioned photo of sun-drenched pasture on Facebook… or a picturesque sunrise over a dewy, field of grazing grass-fed livestock on Instagram? As a goat farmer and freelance photographer based in Vermont, Stephanie Fisher worries her own idyllic farm photos might be sugarcoating a job that's often tougher than it looks. She spoke with word of mouth producer Taylor Quimby about her recent article in Modern Farmer, "The Side of Farming You Won't See on Facebook". Should Farmers Tweet? Program Helps Farmers Market Their Business By Melanie Plenda • Dec 13, 2012 Melanie Plenda Listen Listening... / 3:24 It used to be all farmers needed was some land, some seed, a little luck and a lot of hard work to be successful. Today's farmer needs all of that plus social media skills, marketing savvy and a business plan. Hacking the Plough By Virginia Prescott • Jul 24, 2012 CIMMYT via Flickr Creative Commons Produced with Zach Nugent The community-based organization Farm Hack brings together innovative farmers, technology designers, and hackers to approach agricultural challenges without the top-down energy-intensive tools used in mainstream mega-farming. Farm Hack uses both online and face-to-face meetings to encourage and share creative methods among small farms all over the country.
