|MLBPA Press Release
Japan Opening Series 2012 will mark the first MLB season opener in Japan since the Boston Red Sox and Athletics played at the Tokyo Dome in 2008. Since 1999, 10 MLB Clubs (Colorado Rockies, San Diego Padres, New York Mets, Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Red Sox and Oakland Athletics) have participated in international openers.
Japan Opening Series 2012 will be dedicated to assisting in the rebuilding efforts across Japan. Major League Baseball, the MLBPA and Yomiuri will announce details regarding their support in the coming weeks. The following is the tentative schedule of events:
Wednesday, March 28 - Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics* - Tokyo Dome
Thursday, March 29 - Seattle Mariners vs. Oakland Athletics* - Tokyo Dome
*The Athletics will be the home team and the Mariners the visitor for both MLB Championship Season games. Start times will be determined at a later date.
"Major League Baseball is very pleased to give Japanese fans a chance to see the Seattle Mariners and the Oakland Athletics, two franchises with great popularity in Japan," said Baseball Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig. "Opening Series 2012 will be an excellent opportunity to bring the game of baseball to fans across the globe and to celebrate the many contributions to the game by Japanese players. Most importantly, with the shared love of baseball between our nations, I believe that we can use this event to further assist the ongoing relief efforts throughout Japan."
"We are honored to open the 2012 season in Japan. The opening series provides Major League players with an opportunity to use baseball -- a sport cherished and revered by both our nations -- to help our Japanese friends continue their recovery from the devastating tsunami," said MLBPA executive director Michael Weiner. "Major League players look forward to playing before some of the world's most passionate and knowledgeable baseball fans, and we appreciate the support of Nippon Professional Baseball and Yomiuri for helping make this series possible."
"The Seattle Mariners are proud to represent Major League Baseball and open the 2012 regular season in Japan against the Oakland Athletics," said Mariners president Chuck Armstrong. "More Mariners games have been televised in Japan over the past ten years than any other MLB team, so the fans there will be familiar with us. This will be a memorable experience for our players and our organization."
"The Oakland A's are honored and privileged to participate in this season-opening series," said Oakland A's president Michael Crowley. "We were fortunate to make our first visit to Japan in 2008 and still remember fondly the warm reception we received from the fans, the host teams, and the people of Japan. We're very excited about returning next season."
Overall, more than 875,000 fans have attended 21 MLB Opening Series games in Monterey, Mexico (Rockies vs. Padres, 1999), Tokyo, Japan (Mets vs. Cubs, 2000, Yankees vs. Rays, 2004, Red Sox vs. Athletics, 2008), and San Juan, Puerto Rico (Rangers vs. Blue Jays, 2001).
Upon conclusion of Japan Opening Series 2012, the Mariners and Athletics will travel back to the United States to complete an abbreviated exhibition schedule before resuming their Championship Season schedules.
Organizers of Japan Opening Series 2012 include MLB, MLBPA, NPB and Yomiuri. Further details on all of the games and events surrounding Japan Opening Series 2012 will be announced at a later date.

The Sparkling Season: Holiday Color Makeover
Easy elegance
Lynn Eastin loves mirrored surfaces. In her living room, a fireplace mirror, wall sconces, coffee table and mercury glass vase all reflect pretty light, day or night. Sequined and beaded pillows add sophisticated holiday style to seating.
Click ahead to read more about how this Missouri homeowner transforms her home for the holidays. Slide 11 includes a buying guide.
Simple style
A few years ago, Lynn kicked one holiday tradition to the snow-covered curb: decking the halls in reds and greens. Visions of sophisticated creams and golds, shimmery silvers and nature-inspired brown tones danced in Lynn's head. "I just wanted to lighten it up and do it really natural," she says.
The color swap happened at a time when Lynn's life was topsy-turvy. Her son, Matt, had moved away to college. She and her husband, Phil, had just downsized to a 1928 English Tudor in University City that was half the size of their previous home. The low ceilings in her new living room meant she'd need to put up a shorter Christmas tree than in years past. All told, she felt the need to do something different. "We were in that change-of-life phase," Lynn says. "I said to my husband, 'Hey do you mind if we switch it up a little bit?'"
Pictured: Silver balls provide unexpected floor decor.
Color makeover
The color change stuck. For the past five years, Lynn has dressed her pine tree from top to bottom with shimmering mercury glass and gold ornaments, burlap ribbons and more than 50 pheasant tail feathers that have special meaning. "My son and my husband are hunters," Lynn says. "They've collected all the feathers for me. I love the texture and the color of them."
Nature gets a starring role throughout the house. Paperwhites bloom on a fireplace mantel, pine garlands wind around doorways and banisters, antique avian plates sit on the table and seeded eucalyptus wreaths—a favorite of Lynn's—hang from ribbons on the insides of the windows.
Pictured: Candlelight reflects off shiny accents.
Natural hues
Nature even inspired the home's paint colors. The living and dining rooms are a sage-gray, the kitchen is a sage-blue, and the master bedroom is a eucalyptus hue.
In the dining room, a vintage secretary supplies bar storage and a drop-down surface for serving pieces in the dining room. A new crystal chandelier hangs over the dining table. A cocktail table has an antiqued mirror top, and mirrored or crystal sconces sparkle. "I love to use reflective surfaces," Lynn says. "You'd be amazed how things reflect when the fireplace is going and the candles are lit."
Shimmer and shine
Glitter feathers and silver and glass orbs shimmer on a table.
Gold, white and silver
Felt trees dress up a radiator ledge buffet.
Bird-theme table setting
Speckled eggs in a gold-painted clay pot and napkin ties of twine bring earthiness to this elegant, bird-theme table setting.
Kitchen chic
Cosmetic changes, including refacing cabinets and adding a travertine backsplash, update the space. Holiday decorations include greenery and silvery accents.
All around the house
Lynn deviated from her natural color scheme in her tiny home office where black-and-white drapes set the tone.
Holiday headboard
A silver banner whispers the joy of the season on a pretty headboard in the master bedroom.
Old-world touches
Stonework around an arched door offers an old-world background for Phil and Lynn's exterior holiday decor.

You know how there are always those people at a concert that make you think, "Wow. She's really getting into it. She must love him. She knows all the words. And, oh my God, is she weeping?" Well, imagine a capacity crowd (and then some) of fans exactly like that.

Autism is difficult to diagnosis. When the diagnosis is made, it can be difficult for parents to accept. Denial is the first response, and it may last for so long that treatment may be delayed.
Parents are usually the first to suspect that something is wrong. A previously normal child will suddenly act oddly. Language development may stop or regress. Social reactions may become inappropriate or disappear. Bizarre behavior may appear, such as emotional breakdowns or obsessive repetition. Such symptoms should be mentioned at routine doctor visits to determine if a specialist needs to be consulted.
Professionals who specialize in autism—child psychiatrists, child psychologists, developmental pediatricians, and pediatric neurologists—will observe the child's behavior, social contacts, and communication skills. They will assess mental and social skills and develop a detailed history of the child's behavior. Some doctors ask parents to bring in videotapes of the child at home. Photo albums and other records may help identify time sequences.
If autism is suspected, other tests may include:
Psychological Tests
A variety of age-appropriate questionnaires and skill tests compare a child's abilities and responses to standards established by testing thousands of children who do not have autism. Some test motor skills, like stacking blocks. Some test visual and coordination skills. Some compare daily activities with others of the same age.
IQ Tests
These are comparative evaluations of individuals at the same age with respect to age-appropriate intellectual skills, like pattern recognition and problem solving. An IQ is the ratio of the child's calendar age to his intellectual age—the average performance of others at a given age. For example, if a 5-year-old child performs like a 10-year old, his IQ would be 200.
Blood and Urine Tests
Thousands of tests evaluate physical health. Some are done routinely, like a blood count and urinalysis. Others types of blood and urine tests are done only rarely for unusual conditions. Your doctor will select tests that are appropriate.
DNA and Chromosome Testing
Genetic disorders are detected by looking at genes. Certain genetic disorders are associated with autism, like tuberous sclerosis and fragile X syndrome .
This test records the brain's activity by measuring electrical currents through the brain. Abnormalities may indicate a seizure disorder , which is commonly associated with autism.
MRI Scan
MRI scans use magnetic waves to make images of the inside of the body. In this case, it is often done to look for abnormal brain growth that may be related to the cause of your child's autism.

A week ago Saturday, I erroneously mentioned that I was going to have a giveaway for SewMamaSew giveawaypalooza. Except I got my dates wrong. Yeah, sounds like me. 🙂 Well it gave me time to think and to change my mind, slightly.

Thank you so much for coming to visit me.
So for you I put together a bunch of goodies including an I-spy Charm pack and quilt pattern. This will be the grand prize for the first winner chosen, but I will also pick 5 others and send you one of my patterns (your choice.)
So if you'd like to enter feel free to leave a comment. Giveaway goes until Friday, Dec 16 at midnight MST. GIVEAWAY CLOSED. Winners listed at the bottom of the post.
I may be a little bit scarce this week – we've got a full slate of Christmas hoopla going on (Orchestra performance, dance recital, elementary school Christmas sing, piano performance, 2nd grade class party, husband's office party . . . and somewhere in there I need to find time to finish all the Christmas shopping before the kids get out for Christmas vacation on Friday. Whew!) I'm still waiting for the "all is calm" part of Christmas to show up, but I'll take the craziness too.
Grand prize winner: Jennie!
Pattern winners: Elle, mjb, Cassandra, Christie S. & Theresa

Among the calls of condolences, family members who have lost a loved one often are disturbed by a far less welcome call: that of collection agencies seeking payment of the deceaseds past due debt.
While survivors legally are obligated to pay only if they co-signed on a loan, car payment, mortgage or other debt, that wont stop the agencies from going after heirs.
Thats standard operating procedure for collection agencies, said Richard Emmett, a Durango estate attorney. Credit companies are not going to tell them theyre not responsible for it. Quite often, people feel a moral responsibility and pay the debts.
One ploy agencies use to guilt heirs into coughing up the money is to bargain with them and discount the debt by 40 to 60 percent. The agency tells the heirs that if they pay the remaining amount, the agency will leave them alone. And it can be very effective.
Emmett recommends heirs write the agency a letter documenting that they are not personally liable for the debt and not to contact them anymore. If the agency continues to contact the person, it is in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
The act was established in 1978 to protect consumers from abusive debt-collection practices.
As baby boomers age, they are accruing more debt, and a good portion of people have no intention of paying it off before they die. Nearly 40 percent of seniors in a recent survey by CESI Debt Solutions said they had accumulated debt in their retirement years, and they had no plan to pay it off during their lifetime.
Heirs may not be liable for the debt, but the deceaseds debt doesnt go away when they die, and heirs could be responsible for it should they take on the mortgage of a vacated home.
There is no inheritance liability that they get unless they obligated themselves to it, but that doesnt mean you get to wipe out the debt of the person who died, said Sen. Ellen Roberts, a former estate attorney. Just the fact that someone dies doesnt erase the deceaseds responsibility to pay the bill.
If someone wants to inherit the family home with a lien on it, the heir inherits that lien along with the home. The heir can refinance the home or, in some cases, keep making payments on the existing loan, said David Fountain, a mortgage consultant for Wells Fargo.
If no one wants to keep the home or pay the loan, the mortgage company will foreclose on the property.
It wont show up on a credit report, but if they want to keep the house or keep the equity in the house, then theyre going to be interested in making the payments so the home isnt foreclosed upon, Fountain said.
The deceaseds estate is responsible for paying off the persons debt, and the bills have to be paid before any inheritance goes to heirs.
The estate goes into probate, and the executor of the estate typically an attorney or an appointed family member is responsible for collecting the deceaseds assets and making sure creditors are paid.
The executor typically will put a Notice to Creditors in the newspaper asking creditors to present their claims. If the executor already knows of the debt, he or she will contact the creditors and settle the claim directly. Creditors have until four months after the first Notice to Creditors is published in the paper or one year from the day of the persons death, whichever comes first, said Geoffrey Craig, a Durango estate attorney.
If there is not enough money in the estate to pay off the creditors, the estate is considered insolvent. Creditors can try to settle for less money than they are owed, but the rest of the debt will disappear.
Regardless of heirs responsibility to pay, it still is a good idea for families to discuss what debt exists and who it belongs to so family members can ward off creditors and are not surprised to see a lien on the family home.
I think its a conversation that families really do need to have, and as their members become older, its more important to have those conversations so people do understand the financial situation and what the options are, said Julie Cooley, vice president of First National Bank of Durangos Mortgage Department.

The 2009 folder has been created and is ready to be filled with paranormal events.
Who owns the land? Only the land knows. We mortals are passersby, and our lives are but a brief moment in the great span of time and space. We are born, we live out our lives, and most of us do the best we can with it, but the wind is forever, and the rivers flow forever to the sea, and all the seasons of the weathers will come and go after we are gone. But the Earth endures, the Earth is eternal" - Earl Hamner

Evening Reading
No, ironically, the real loser out of these deals is the game. On a AAA game--particularly of the sort prone to get the review event treatment--hundreds of people have worked months and months, often stretching into years, to create the game. In fact, on many of these games the last few months all those people will have been playing the game over and over, tweaking this and adjusting that to carefully craft the final experience.
And then it gets handed to a reviewer and the clock started on the brief few hours they are afforded at the event to play the game. Who does this sound like a good idea to? Wouldn't you want the person critiquing the game to have ample time to enjoy that content at their pace? On top of that, I can't count how many times I've gone back to a game while working on a review to replay a section or try something different or just double-check my impression from the first time through. And don't invoke the piracy defense because any outlet for which that would be a concern opens a much bigger issue to be addressed.
Tl;dr -- game review events are bad for all involved.
Now here are the top stories from today's video game news on the Shack:

Ready for something cool? One of our favourite booths here at MWC has been the Qi wireless charging booth, it's small in comparison to some companies but it's showing off a few devices that sort of define the term 'gadget lust'. With Nokia announcing two new Lumia devices on Monday that both have wireless charging capability, the vision of "wireless charging everywhere" is becoming ever closer.
You'll find a full titillating gallery after the break, and we're also going to call out a few of the devices specifically that piqued our interest. That first image up top though you might recognise, it's the Tylt Vu which we covered just over a month ago when it was up for pre-order. Coming in several striking colours (although we only saw this yellow one), this charger would not look out of place in Nokia's accessory line up.
The next device to show off, which we really loved by the way, is the Qi 'PowerKiss'. This compact 'O' shaped peripheral is a Qi receiver that plugs in to any micro USB device, bringing wireless charging capability to it. Now you may ask what benefit you receive if you're carrying around an extra item in your pocket over just bringing a charging cable. Well the PowerKiss is clearly targeted as an interim device to aid the future we're all hoping for where we see wireless power points in local establishments on tables or other surfaces. Plus, it's compact, serves the purpose perfectly and we're told should retail for around 15 euros.
Following on from that we saw some evolution upon in-car wireless charging from Continental, who were demonstrating an app/charger combo (although the app only worked on Android for now). The essential concept is using secure, SIM-based NFC to unlock your vehicle, step in to it to dock your device, and then press that ignition button, all whilst your device is charging. The app can then be used for some simple GPS functionality although this was clearly still in the early stages of development.
We also saw plenty of other wireless charging designs, some built in to conventional alarm clocks, others bringing flare in the form of wooden designs. Oh and of course Qi were keen to demonstrate Nokia's commitment to the charging standard with several of their accessories on display. Wireless charging is the future folks, and now more than ever, we can see that future materialising.

The Michael Dunn case is of a type that we see with harrowing regularity. An unarmed black man is shot and killed by a police officer or a white person. The shooter says he felt threatened.
The way we talk about those cases follows a pattern, too. The conversation quickly becomes about politics, about race, and the messy intersection of the two. Stand Your Ground. Stop and Frisk. The War on Drugs. All these things snowball into each other, and while the trials of their shooters are about the particulars of their cases, they are also about all the other gruesome cases that came before them. Amadou Diallo. Patrick Dorismond. Sean Bell. Trayvon Martin. We end up talking about everything, all at once, even though our criminal justice system isn't meant to resolve all of that context. Sometimes it feels as if it's not even capable of resolving the specifics of the cases in front of it.
After the Dunn verdict — he was convicted of attempted murder for shooting at Jordan Davis' friends, but the jury could not reach a verdict on the question of whether he was justified in shooting the unarmed Davis — many people couldn't help but note the dark irony. Dunn wasn't convicted of killing Davis, a fact no one disputes, but was convicted of shooting at Davis' friends and missing.
I spoke to Ta-Nehisi Coates of The Atlantic ("On the Killing of Jordan Davis by Michael Dunn) and Jamelle Bouie of The Daily Beast ("White Fear Matters More Than Black Lives"), who both wrote searing columns in the immediate aftermath of the verdict that blew up all over social media, here at NPR Tuesday. Their essays got at a lot of the frustration that a lot of people were feeling with the way this trial played out, and the conversation surrounding it. Some of our conversation aired during Wednesday's Morning Edition, but quite a few people asked to hear it in full. So we've decided to share a director's cut of that conversation, which you can hear below.
Here are a few of the highlights.
In the George Zimmerman case, the hoodie Trayvon Martin was wearing became a kind of racial Rorschach — it was either a benign article of clothing or a signifier of racial menace. In the Dunn case, the hip-hop blaring from Davis' car played the same role. Here's what Coates and Bouie said:
Coates: If it was a car full of white kids, would that have gone down the way that it did? Even if they were listening to the same music? But also beyond that, hip-hop is no more violent than American pop culture is violent. What do our video games look like? What do our movies look like? What do our comic books look like? Is hip-hop really any different than the country from which it comes? And yet hip-hop in particular is "thug music"... that's actually not very different from the broader culture within which it resides. Which is not to say it shouldn't be critiqued, but I'm saying that those other things are not affixed with that label.
And so often, this is how racism actually works. ... Barack Obama is actually an exceptional individual. It is not the exceptional individuals who are the test cases for whether the country is racist or not. It is when we start getting to the mean — or very often, in the case of criminal justice, to those who are below the mean, if we want to put it that way — how are they then treated? If you mess up, if two people mess up, are they treated equally? That really is the test case, not whether an exceptional person can break all barriers. The majority of black people are not going to be exceptional. They're going to be mediocre, because the majority of white people are not going to be exceptional, they're going to be mediocre, because the majority of human beings are going to be mediocre. The test case is not our exceptions; it's the ordinary. And in the sense that hip-hop is like the rest of American culture, why that particular label? Like a lot of kids, my favorite comic book hero growing up was Wolverine, whose body count in a single comic book can be ridiculous. Was I engaging in thug [behavior], in murderous art? Well, yeah. Kinda, wasn't I?
Bouie: No one would go to, like, a comic book shop and see a bunch of kids trading Wolverine or Deadpool comics and say, "Those are a bunch of potential murderers." We would all treat them as distinct individuals — as well you should. Dunn, Zimmerman — each of these people did not look at Trayvon, Jordan. They were thugs. [A] nondescript mass of black threat. Which is, you know, I wouldn't say "in their defense," but in context, that's just how we've portrayed black men.
One common reaction to the media attention these cases draw is that there isn't nearly as much focus given to homicides in which both the killer and victim are black. No one in this conversation bought that premise, though.
Coates: First of all, it has no meaning because nobody talks more about black-on-black crime ...
Demby, Bouie: [in unison] ... than black people.
Coates: No one. No one. I mean, it's not our fault that people who say that don't pay attention. The idea that when Hadiya Pendleton got killed that black people in Chicago weren't talking about that is ridiculous.
Demby: It was all over the news. Michelle Obama talked about it.
Coates: Exactly. It was everywhere.
Bouie: It's part of casual conversation. I can't even count the number of time my parents or my church [said] ... "We've got to stop killing ourselves."
Coates: It's constant! The song was called "Self Destruction"! That was the actual song! That was the name of it! That's like a real thing. That more than anything about Klan violence or anything like that, that was the constant drumbeat of my youth in Baltimore. And so the idea that black folks don't talk [about it] ... first of all it's false.
But let's just pull out for a second and go 1,000 feet in the air and look at that. The neighborhoods in which there are higher crime rates for African-Americans and in which larger numbers of African-Americans are killed by African-Americans were produced by policy. The South Side of Chicago is not a mistake. North Lawndale [in Chicago] is not a mistake. West Baltimore is not a mistake. It was supposed to happen that way. And so ... watching a state, a society perpetrate an injury upon a group of people — and then hide it — and then use the results to perpetrate more injury, over and over and over again.
This case wasn't about the politics of Florida's Stand Your Ground statute inside the courtroom, but the larger conversation around this case is very much concerned with that provision as policy and politics. But Bouie said that repealing Stand Your Ground, a position that both he and Coates advocate, is an almost impossible lift.
Bouie: To repeal that law, in effect, [means building coalitions either] with people who support that law, or [who] represent constituencies who support that law; constituencies that are mostly white and are from certain portions of the state and have the attitudes they have for grounded historical reasons. ... So even that sort of Step 1 — how can we do something about this solution, repeal the law — is almost impossible. Like, it's, just not going to happen. ... The way our political system is designed, there's no way to fix that legislatively without the explicit cooperation and support of white Americans. ... Let's say that only 20 percent of white Americans believe that there are no significant racial disparities in American life: In the American political system, that just might as well mean a majority.
Coates shared the story of his college friend Prince Jones, who was shot and killed by police during a traffic stop. In the Washington, D.C., area, that killing became a huge story.
Coates: I have a piece I'm working on, I guess I can share this, about a buddy of mine who was killed. ... His mother was a radiologist. She made the mistake of being an American and buying her son a Jeep for his 23rd birthday. He went out in that Jeep. The police out in Prince George's County [Md.] were looking for a suspect with a Jeep of a similar make. They ran the tags. The tags came up for this woman in Pennsylvania — who was his mother — 'cause that's where it was registered. They assumed it was stolen and followed this young man through three jurisdictions and shot him. My friend, Prince Jones, was a born-again Christian. He was going to see his daughter. And his fiancee. His mother was perfectly upstanding. And her life was plundered; her legacy was plundered. Her child was taken away. Respectability has nothing to do with this. There's no way that you dress a certain way or speak more polished that [pause] makes you not a n- - - - -. And you all can cut that if you need to cut that; I'm sorry. But: These are the facts. There's no way ... there's no way to get you out of that. That's what racism says you are and the way to get out of that is to eliminate racism. [Laughs] Listen: That brother's mother, I sat with her and she said, "I had talked to him about how to deal with the police. It's not like we didn't have that conversation. Yeah, we did." I talked to Lucia McBath, Jordan Davis' mother. She said, "I talked to Jordan about that. It's not like we didn't have a conversation about how to comport himself when he's out. But that boy ... is 17 years old. You can't say that the way to not get killed is to have the maturity of a 45-year-old." That's just ... OK, so then we lose. That is actual racist logic. Because you're not requiring that of white young men. Seventeen-year-old white men. That is racism.
And now let's listen to some of the discussion spurred by the jury verdict in the Michael Dunn trial. Dunn is the white Florida man who shot and killed Jordan Davis, an unarmed black teenager at point blank range. The jury deadlocked on the charge of first degree murder of Davis, but did convict Michael Dunn of lesser charges, including the attempted murder of others who were with Davis at the time in a vehicle with him.
Gene Demby of NPR's Code Switch team has been following the discussion. He's in our studios. Gene, good morning.
GENE DEMBY, BYLINE: Good morning, Steve.
INSKEEP: And of course a lot has been said on the news and on social media, but you're trying to get us to a little deeper level here. Who'd you talk with?
DEMBY: So I spoke to two writers who wrote essays that got a lot of traction in the immediate aftermath of the verdict and who talked about a lot of the broader issues surrounding this trial.
JAMELLE BOUIE: I'm Jamelle Bouie. I am a staff writer at The Daily Beast.
TA-NEHISI COATES: I'm Ta-Nehisi Coates. I'm a national correspondent at The Atlantic.
INSKEEP: What do you mean broader issues?
DEMBY: So both Coates and Bouie talked about the role that our history and that race plays in the way a case like this is both talked about outside of the courtroom and in the courtroom. The problem is that a case like this is about the particulars of the case, but the discreet particularities of this case get mashed into all the other similar cases like it. This case becomes about Treyvon Martin. This case also becomes about the shooting of Sean Bell.
It also becomes about the shooting of Amadou Diallo. And so all of those things come to bear in the conversation around this case.
INSKEEP: You raise a good point when you say this is a particular case, it's a particular trial of particular events, but in many cases those specifics do end up getting mashed into the larger discussion of race. We end up hearing about, after the Zimmerman trial, the detail of a hoodie and what does the hoodie mean. In this case it was called the loud music trial.
DEMBY: Right. So just as in the Zimmerman case, where the hoodie became kind of a racial Rorschach, the music that Davis and his friends were listening to in their car became kind of a signifier of their putative criminality.
INSKEEP: So when music gets raised - essentially as a defense. They were playing loud music. I felt threatened. What does that make people talk about?
DEMBY: So the conversation often turns to this idea of respectability - that is, if Treyvon Martin had not been wearing his hoodie or if Jordan Davis and his friends had turned down their music, maybe they could've preempted this suspicion that they were criminals. But both Bouie and Ta-Nehisi Coates shot that idea down.
BOUIE: Respectability politics is both a response of and utterly incompatible with the existence of racism. (Unintelligible) by definition racism obliterates the individual.
INSKEEP: Obliterates the individual. His argument is that in some cases it's not going to matter what you do.
DEMBY: Right. I mean if the conversation becomes about what you're wearing or what you're listening to, then the conversation is about you becoming part of this undifferentiated mass of kind of black menace, right. And Ta-Nehisi Coates offered up a really chilling personal anecdote as a rejoinder to that idea.
COATES: A buddy of mine who was killed, his mother was a radiologist. She made the mistake of being an American and buying her son a Jeep for his 23rd birthday. He went out in that Jeep. The police were out in Prince George's County, were looking for a suspect with a Jeep of this similar make. They ran the tags. The tags came up to this woman in Pennsylvania who was his mother, 'cause that's where it was registered.
They assumed it was stolen, followed this young man through three jurisdictions, and shot him. My friend Prince Jones was a born again Christian. He was going to see his daughter and his fiance. His mother was perfectly upstanding. And her child was taken away. Respectability has nothing to do with this. I talked to Lucia McBath, Jordan Davis's mother.
I talked Jordan about that. It's not like we didn't have a conversation about how to, you know, comport himself when he's out. But that boy is 17 years old. You can't, like, say the way to not get killed is to have the maturity of a 45-year-old. I mean that's just, you know, okay, so then we lose. Like that is actual racist logic because you are not requiring that of white young men.
You're only requiring that of black people. That is racism.
INSKEEP: Powerful story there from Ta-Nehisi Coates. And Gene Demby, this is a reminder that while what we have here is a trial about specific facts, they spread out and there's a story in many people's heads that gets recounted, that they remember, that they tell to other people at a moment like this.
DEMBY: That's absolutely right. Again, this story becomes about a bunch of other stories like this. And these criminal cases are not set up to resolve these other stories, and that's why it gets so messy. These cases can't deal with any of the other issues at play.
INSKEEP: And of course there's also a political issue that gets raised here. For example, the Stand Your Ground law, which has been hotly debated and is going to be again after this trial.
DEMBY: Right. And to go back to the idea of snowballing, the Jordan Davis shooting happens after the Treyvon Martin shooting. The conversation around that case became about Florida's Stand Your Ground law. This case has, again, become a flashpoint for that same conversation. The Stand Your Ground statute is really polarizing. It's really popular among Republicans. It's deeply unpopular among Democrats.
And so Jamelle Bouie was talking a little bit about how this case doesn't really move the political landscape.
BOUIE: To repeal that law, in effect, either means building coalitions with people who support that law or represent constituencies who support that law, constituencies that are mostly white, that are in conservative parts in the state and have the attitudes they have for like grounded historical reasons. So even in that sort of step one, how can we do something about this solution, repeal the law, is almost impossible, right?
Like, it's just not going happen. You know, the way our political system's designed, there's no way to fix that legislatively without the explicit cooperation and support of white Americans. Let's say that only 20 percent of white Americans believe that there are no significant racial disparities in American life. In the American political system, that might as well just mean the majority though.
INSKEEP: Writers Ta-Nehisi Coates and Jamelle Bouie. Is all this a reminder, Gene Demby, that we just cannot expect too much of a given trial? We cannot expect it necessarily to address these larger issues in a meaningful way?
DEMBY: These trials tend to focus our attention on issues surrounding race in the criminal justice system, but they can't resolve them. The criminal justice system is a really bad proxy for the resolution of these big centuries-old historical issues that may come to bear on the criminal justice system. So there's this really weird paradox that happens in that we're talking about a trial, but we're not talking about the trial itself.
We're talking about everything all at once, and trials just aren't equipped to do that.
INSKEEP: Gene, thanks very much.
DEMBY: Thank you so much, Steve.
INSKEEP: That's Gene Demby of NPR's Code Switch team. It's NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Yann Tiersen Makes American Debut With Stirring New Album 'Dust Lane'
French composer and musician Yann Tiersen will release his American debut album Dust Lane today, October 12 via Anti Records. Tiersen is a consistently evolving artist who merges classical instrumentation with flourishes of folk, modern pop and atmospheric post punk. While his soundtrack to the hit indie film "Amelie" initially introduced Tiersen to a wider audience, it has been his riveting live performances - including a recent electrifying set at Coachella - and engaging recordings which have continued to expand Tiersen's dedicated fan base.
Dust Lane is an ambitious and emotional work which utilizes vintage electronics and lush choral textures to create a moving cinematic soundscape. The album was mixed by Ken Thomas (Sigur Ros) and features an assortment of instrumentation from acoustic guitars, mandolin, banjo, bouzouki and toy drums to electric guitars and bass, drums and vintage analogue synthesizer. The vocals are a combination of lush choruses with Matt Elliot (who has worked with Mogwai, Blonde Redhead, Thurston Moore, The Pastels) providing stirring narration on several tracks. The end result is a genre defying yet always engaging album of immense power.
Early Critical Acclaim For Dust Lane:
Sporting a résumé that includes film scores (Amélie) and collaborations with Cocteau Twin Elizabeth Fraser and rapper Sage Francis, French composer-instrumentalist Yann Tiersen resists easy categorization. His gently intoxicating sixth studio album casts throbbing anger and raging lust into a dreamlike haze of shadowy voices, acoustic guitars, and analog synths. Tiersen best displays his artful ingenuity on the title track, which subtly champions a loss of control, and "Fuck Me," a sweet-sounding reverie that suggests ABBA gone horribly, intriguingly wrong. - Spin
Dust Lane, (Tiersen's) new stateside debut, stands unattached to any movie, but it remains very much a soundtrack. It is a work of high drama: gushing choruses, sweeping orchestrations and ominous vocals often spoken in the furtive tone of a thriller. Performed almost entirely by Tiersen, the album deals with dark, personal themes in the somewhat jubilant, very public style that's increasingly employed on rock albums about sorrow. - Time Out New York
You won't find too much sonic similarity between his accordion driven soundtrack for "Amelie" and this dark rock record -- his first in English -- though it is no less gorgeous or indeed, cinematic. The result of Tiersen's island recordings (partly recorded in the Philippines too) vary from slow burn, macabre psychedelic rock explosions like "Dark Stuff" and "Till the End" to the hazy pop of "Amy," or the driving battle hymn, "Palestine." Then there's the delightful, little earthquake, album closer, "Fuck Me," pop gold. - IFC.com

The La Plata County Sheriffs Office served a search warrant Thursday morning at the home of Mark Redwine, father of 13-year-old Dylan Redwine who disappeared Nov. 19 while visiting his father during Thanksgiving week.
We are not calling Mark Redwine a suspect, Sheriffs spokesman Dan Bender said. It was only prudent to search, because this was the last place Dylan was seen.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation and the FBI had tents and a trailer set up outside the house Thursday morning. Investigators wearing white scrub-like uniforms made trips in and out of the house and a travel trailer parked nearby. Investigators also towed Mark Redwines two pickups from his property to an undisclosed location for further searching.
About 15 investigators and analysts were involved in combing the premises, Bender said.
Bender said Mark Redwine allowed investigators to look through his house on County Road 500 on other occasions.
But the meticulous nature of the search today required a search warrant, Bender said.
Bender didnt know the wording or scope of the warrant or why it wasnt executed earlier.
The investigation of Dylans disappearance is ongoing, Bender said. We wont be revealing any list of what we find until its over.
Dylans visit was the result of a court order by 6th Judicial District Judge David Dickinson, who said Thursday he is restricted from commenting on the order or the parenting plan.
Dylans mother, Elaine Redwine, said he texted her when he arrived Nov. 18 at the Durango-La Plata County Airport. The boy immediately contacted friends in Bayfield where he attended school until this summer when his mother, who divorced Mark Redwine in 2007, moved to Colorado Springs.
In an interview with ABC News Radio late Monday, Elaine Redwine said her former husband may have had something to do with Dylans disappearance.
I was married to Mark for a lot of years, and I know the way he reacts to things, she said. If Dylan did or said something that wasnt what Mark wanted to hear, Im just afraid Mark would have reacted.
Elaine Redwine said her former husband was upset that she had received primary custody of Dylan.
In an interview with The Durango Herald on Saturday, a few of Dylans friends said he had agreed to meet them in the early morning Nov. 19, but the meeting never took place. Mark Redwine told investigators that he left his house to do errands at 7:30 a.m. but found Dylan gone when he returned four hours later.
Authorities said Wednesday they no longer consider Dylan a possible runaway.
A law-enforcement task force comprised of agents from the Sheriffs Office, Durango Police Department, Bayfield Marshals Office, FBI and Colorado Bureau of Investigation continue to look for clues to Dylans disappearance, Bender said.
The task force of 50 members started going door to door Tuesday looking for any tidbit of information that could break open the investigation.
A telephone tip line has been set up: 382-7511. Calls also can be made to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at (800) 843-5678.
Anyone who took photos or shot videos that included vehicles along County Road 501 and Florida Road (County Road 240) from 6 p.m. Nov. 18 to noon Nov. 19 is asked to share a copy with investigators. The county dispatch center may be contacted at 385-2900.
The door-to-door canvassing by the task force came after days of searching with dogs and a dive team around Vallecito Reservoir. Community volunteers, as many as 200 in one day, visited vacant houses, barns and outbuildings looking for traces of Dylan.
Dylans case has drawn national and international attention. The Redwine family has received encouragement from well-wishers on Facebook from Australia. Bender said he continues to be swamped with media calls. He appeared several times on Nancy Graces Headline News show Wednesday.
The Vallecito and Bayfield communities have taken the search to heart. A vigil Tuesday at Eagle Park in Bayfield drew 150 people, including Mark Redwine, who addressed the crowd.
I want everyone to know how much I love that boy and how much I cared about him, and how much I thank the community for all the effort that they put in, he said. He was such a wonderful boy. He meant everything.
The Durango La Plata Crime Stoppers has a cash reward for information leading to Dylans whereabouts. The Crime Stoppers number is 247-1112.

Lactose intolerance is gastrointestinal upset related to the inability to digest significant quantities of lactose. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
Lactose intolerance is caused by a reduction in the digestive enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down the sugar lactose into sugars that can be more easily absorbed. When not fully broken down, lactose ferments in the colon and causes symptoms.
Some people are born unable to make lactase. Others develop the intolerance over time.
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chances of lactose intolerance:
- Black, Asian, or Native American race
- Jewish ethnicity
- Family history of lactose intolerance
Certain illnesses or conditions that can damage the intestinal tract such as:
- Gastroenteritis
- Celiac disease
- Cystic fibrosis
- Crohn's disease
- Chemotherapy
Symptoms of lactose intolerance generally begin within 2 hours of consuming milk or other dairy products. The severity of symptoms depends on how much lactase your body produces and how much lactose you eat.
Lactose intolerance may cause:
- Cramping
- Bloating
- Abdominal rumbling sounds
- Gas
- Diarrhea
- Loose stools
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may recommend a trial period of eating no milk or milk products to see if symptoms resolve.
Your doctor may want to perform tests to help make the diagnosis. These may include:
- Hydrogen breath test
- Stool acidity test
Your doctor may recommend a biopsy to examine intestinal tissue.
Temporary lactose intolerance following an infection usually goes away after the intestine heals.
Treatment for chronic lactose intolerance focuses on managing symptoms. For most people, removing dietary lactose, especially in children and adolescents, would not be recommended. Milk and milk products provide sources of calcium and other food elements that are hard to replace. If complete elimination is chosen, then careful replacement of calcium is needed for good health.
Treatments include:
Dietary Changes
Keep a food diary of what you eat and what the reaction is. Discuss the findings with your doctor or a dietitian.
Dietary changes may include:
Eat smaller amounts of milk or milk products with a meal. It may reduce symptoms. Many people can tolerate 4-8 ounces of milk. You may have better tolerance for some of the following dairy products made from milk:
- Hard cheeses, such as cheddar and Swiss
- Yogurt
- Try lactose-free milk and lactose-reduced milk and milk products.
- Ask a dietitian for help choosing substitutes for dairy products or recommending supplements to ensure that you eat enough calcium.
Nondairy foods rich in calcium include:
- Salmon
- Sardines
- Cooked spinach
- Oranges
- Broccoli
Read product labels because other foods can contain lactose including:
- Breads
- Baked goods
- Processed cereals
- Instant potatoes, soups, and breakfast drinks
- Margarine
- Processed meats
- Liquid and powder milk-based meal replacements
- Protein powders and bars
- Salad dressings
- Candies
- Pancake mixes
- Non-dairy coffee creamers and whipped toppings
Other words that indicate lactose are:
- Whey
- Curds
- Dry milk solids
- Nonfat dry milk
- Milk by-products
- Be aware that some medications may contain small amounts of lactose.
Your doctor may recommend lactase enzymes if you can tolerate only small quantities of lactose. The enzyme supplements come in liquid and chewable form. A few drops of the liquid added to milk, which is allowed to sit overnight, can decrease the amount of lactose in the milk. Tablets are chewed or swallowed before eating foods that contain lactose.
