The Tulsa race riot was a large-scale, racially motivated conflict on May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which a group of white people attacked the black community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It resulted in the Greenwood District, also known as 'the Black Wall Street'[1] and the wealthiest black community in the United States, being burned to the ground.
During the 16 hours of the assault, more than 800 people were admitted to local white hospitals with injuries (the two black hospitals were burned down), and police arrested and detained more than 6,000 black Greenwood residents at three local facilities.[2]:108–109 An estimated 10,000 blacks were left homeless, and 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire. The official count of the dead by the Oklahoma Department of Vital Statistics was 39, but other estimates of black fatalities varied from 55 to about 300.[2]:108, 228
The events of the riot were long omitted from local and state histories. "The Tulsa race riot of 1921 was rarely mentioned in history books, classrooms or even in private. Blacks and whites alike grew into middle age unaware of what had taken place."[3] With the number of survivors declining, in 1996, the state legislature commissioned a report to establish the historical record of the events, and acknowledge the victims and damages to the black community. Released in 2001, the report included the commission's recommendations for some compensatory actions, most of which were not implemented by the state and city governments. The state has passed legislation to establish some scholarships for descendants of survivors, economic development of Greenwood, and a memorial park to the victims in Tulsa. The latter was dedicated in 2010.
The riot occurred in the racially and politically tense atmosphere of post-World War I northeastern Oklahoma. The territory, which was declared a state on November 16, 1907, had received many settlers from the South who had been slaveholders before the American Civil War. In the early 20th century, lynchings were common in Oklahoma, as part of a continuing effort by whites to assert and maintain white supremacy. Between the declaration of statehood and the Tulsa race riot 13 years later, 31 persons were lynched in Oklahoma; 26 were black and nearly all were men and boys. During the twenty years following the riot, the number of lynchings statewide fell to two.[4]
The newly created state legislature passed racial segregation laws, commonly known as Jim Crow laws, as one of its first orders of business. Its 1907 constitution and laws had voter registration rules that disfranchised most blacks; this also barred them from serving on juries or in local office, a situation that lasted until the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, part of civil rights legislation passed by the US Congress. Major cities passed their own restrictions.[2]
On August 16, 1916, Tulsa passed an ordinance forbidding blacks or whites from residing on any block where three-fourths or more of the residents were of the other race. This made residential segregation mandatory in the city. Although the United States Supreme Court declared the ordinance unconstitutional the next year, it remained on the books.[2]
As cities absorbed returning veterans into the labor market following World War I, there was social tension and anti-black sentiment. At the same time, black veterans pushed to have their civil rights enforced, believing they had earned full citizenship by military service. In what became known as "Red Summer" of 1919, industrial cities across the Midwest and North had severe race riots, often led by ethnic whites among recent immigrant groups, who competed most with blacks for jobs. In Chicago and some other cities, blacks defended themselves for the first time with force but were outnumbered.
Northeastern Oklahoma had an economic slump that put men out of work. Since 1915, the Ku Klux Klan was growing in urban chapters across the country, particularly since veterans had been returning from the war. It first appeared in Oklahoma in a major way later that year on August 12, 1921, less than three months after the Tulsa riot.[5] The historian Charles Alexander estimated that by the end of 1921, Tulsa had 3,200 residents in the Klan.[5] The city population was 72,000 in 1920.[6]
The traditionally black district of Greenwood in Tulsa had a commercial district so prosperous it was known as "the Negro Wall Street" (now commonly referred to as "the Black Wall Street"). Blacks had created their own businesses and services in their enclave, including several groceries, two independent newspapers, two movie theaters, nightclubs, and numerous churches. Professional black doctors, dentists, lawyers and clergy served the community. Because of residential segregation in the city, most classes of blacks lived together in Greenwood. They selected their own leaders, and there was capital formation within the community. In the surrounding areas of northeastern Oklahoma, blacks also enjoyed relative prosperity and participated in the oil boom.[7]
Sometime around or after 4 p.m., nineteen-year-old Dick Rowland, a black shoeshiner employed at a Main Street shine parlor, entered the only elevator of the nearby Drexel Building, at 319 South Main Street, to use the top floor restroom, which was restricted to blacks. He encountered Sarah Page, the 17-year-old white elevator operator who was on duty. The two likely knew each other at least by sight, as this building was the only one nearby with a washroom which Rowland had express permission to use, and the elevator operated by Page was the only one in the building. A clerk at Renberg's, a clothing store located on the first floor of the Drexel, heard what sounded like a woman's scream and saw a young black man rushing from the building. The clerk went to the elevator and found Page in what he said was a distraught state. Thinking she had been assaulted, he summoned the authorities.[8]
The 2000 official commission report notes that it was unusual for both Rowland and Page to be working downtown on Memorial Day, when most stores and businesses were closed. It suggests that Rowland had a simple accident, such as tripping and steadying himself against the girl, or perhaps they were lovers and had a quarrel.[9]
The word rape was rarely used in newspapers or academia in the early 20th century. Instead, assault was used to describe the same attack.[2]
Although the police likely questioned Page, no written account of her statement has surfaced. Whatever conversation transpired between Page and the police, it is generally accepted that they determined what happened between the two teenagers was something less than an assault. The authorities conducted a rather low-key investigation rather than launching a man-hunt for her alleged assailant. Afterward, Page told the police that she would not press charges.[2]
Regardless of whether assault had occurred, Rowland had reason to be fearful, as at the time, such an accusation alone put him at risk for attack by racists among white men. Upon realizing the gravity of the situation, Rowland fled to his mother's house in the Greenwood neighborhood.[9]
On the morning after the incident, Detective Henry Carmichael and Henry C. Pack, a black patrolman, located Rowland on Greenwood Avenue and detained him. Pack was one of two black officers among the city's approximately 45-man police force.[2] Rowland was initially taken to the Tulsa city jail at First and Main. Late that day, Police Commissioner J. M. Adkison said he had received an anonymous telephone call threatening Rowland's life. He ordered Rowland transferred to the more secure jail on the top floor of the Tulsa County Courthouse.[10]
Word quickly spread in Tulsa's legal circles. As patrons of the shine shop where Rowland worked, many attorneys knew him. Witnesses recounted hearing several attorneys defending him in personal conversations with one another. One of the men said, "Why I know that boy, and have known him a good while. That's not in him."[11]
The Tulsa Tribune, one of two white-owned papers published in Tulsa, broke the story in that afternoon's edition with the headline: "Nab Negro for Attacking Girl In an Elevator", describing the alleged incident. According to some witnesses, the same edition of the Tribune included an editorial warning of a potential lynching of Rowland, and entitled "To Lynch Negro Tonight". The paper was known at the time to have a "sensationalist" style of news writing. All original copies of that issue of the paper have apparently been destroyed, and the relevant page is missing from the microfilm copy, so the exact content of the column (and whether it existed at all) remains in dispute.[12][13][14]
The afternoon edition of the Tribune hit the streets shortly after 3 p.m., and soon news of the potential [16]
About 8:20 p.m., three white men entered the courthouse, demanding that Rowland be turned over to them. Although vastly outnumbered by the growing crowd out on the street, Sheriff McCullough was determined to prevent another lynching and turned the men away.[2]
A few blocks away on Greenwood Avenue, members of the black community were gathering to discuss the situation at the courthouse. Given the recent lynching of Roy Belton, a white man, they believed that Rowland was greatly at risk. The community was determined to prevent the lynching of another young black man, but divided about the tactics to be used. Young World War I veterans were preparing for a battle by collecting guns and ammunition. Older, more prosperous men feared a destructive confrontation that likely would cost them dearly. O. W. Gurley walked to the courthouse, where the sheriff talked with him and assured that there would be no lynching. Returning to Greenwood, Gurley tried to calm the group, but failed. About 7:30 p.m., a group of approximately 30 black men, armed with rifles and shotguns, decided to go to the courthouse and support the sheriff and his deputies to defend Rowland from the mob. Assuring them that Rowland was safe, the sheriff and his black deputy, Barney Cleaver, encouraged the men to return home.[2][17]
Having seen the armed blacks, some of the more than 1,000 whites at the courthouse went home for their own guns. Others headed for the National Guard armory at Sixth Street and Norfolk Avenue, where they planned to arm up. The armory contained a supply of small arms and ammunition. Major James Bell of the 180th Infantry had already learned of the mounting situation downtown and the possibility of a break-in, and he took appropriate measures to prevent this. He called the commanders of the three National Guard units in Tulsa, who ordered all the Guard members to put on their uniforms and report quickly to the armory. When a group of whites arrived and began pulling at the grating over a window, Bell went outside to confront the crowd of 300–400 men. Bell told them that the Guard members inside were armed and prepared to shoot anyone who tried to enter. After this show of force, the crowd withdrew from the armory.[2]
At the courthouse, the crowd had swollen to nearly 2,000, many of them now armed. Several local leaders, including Reverend Charles W. Kerr, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, tried to dissuade mob action. The chief of police, John A. Gustafson, later claimed that he tried to talk the crowd into going home.[16]
Anxiety on Greenwood Avenue was rising. The black community was worried about the safety of Rowland. Small groups of armed black men began to venture toward the courthouse in automobiles, partly for reconnaissance, and to demonstrate they were prepared to take necessary action to protect Rowland.[16]
Many white men interpreted these actions as a "Negro uprising" and became concerned. Eyewitnesses reported gunshots, presumably fired into the air, increasing in frequency during the evening.[16]
In Greenwood, rumors began to fly – in particular, a report that whites were storming the courthouse. Shortly after 10 p.m., a second, larger group of approximately seventy-five armed black men decided to go to the courthouse. They offered their support to the sheriff, who declined their help. According to witnesses, a white man is alleged to have told one of the armed black men to surrender his pistol. The man refused, and a shot was fired. That first shot may have been accidental, or meant as a warning shot; it was a catalyst for an exchange of gunfire.[18]
The gunshots triggered an almost immediate response by the white men, many of whom fired on the blacks, who continued firing back at the whites. The first "battle" was said to last a few seconds or so, but took a toll, as several white and black lay dead or dying in the street. The black contingent retreated toward Greenwood. A rolling gunfight ensued. The armed white mob pursued the black group toward Greenwood, with many stopping to loot local stores for additional weapons and ammunition. Along the way innocent bystanders, many of whom were leaving a movie theater after a show, were caught off guard by the mob and began fleeing. Panic set in as the white mob began firing on any blacks in the crowd. The mob also shot and killed at least one white man in the confusion.[16]
At around 11 p.m., members of the American Legion joined in on patrols of the streets. The forces appeared to have been deployed to protect the white districts adjacent to Greenwood. This manner of deployment led to the National Guard being set in apparent opposition to the black community. The National Guard began rounding up blacks who had not returned to Greenwood and taking them to the Convention Hall on Brady Street for detention.[16]
Many prominent Tulsa whites also participated in the riot, including Tulsa founder and KKK member W. Tate Brady who participated in the riot as a night watchman. He reported seeing "five dead negroes," including one man who was dragged behind a car by a noose around his neck.[19]
At around midnight, white rioters again assembled outside the courthouse. It was a smaller group but more organized and determined. They shouted in support of a lynching. When they attempted to storm the building, the sheriff and his deputies turned them away and dispersed them.
Throughout the early morning hours, groups of armed whites and blacks squared off in gunfights. At this point the fighting was concentrated along sections of the Frisco tracks, a dividing line between the black and white commercial districts. A rumor circulated that more blacks were coming by train from Muskogee to help with an invasion of Tulsa. At one point, passengers on an incoming train were forced to take cover on the floor of the train cars, as they had arrived in the midst of crossfire, with the train taking hits on both sides.[2]
Small groups of whites made brief forays by car into Greenwood, indiscriminately firing into businesses and residences. They often received return fire. Meanwhile, white rioters threw lighted oil rags into several buildings along Archer street, igniting them.[2]
At around 1 a.m., the white mob began setting fires, mainly in businesses on commercial Archer Street at the southern edge of the Greenwood district. As crews from the Tulsa Fire Department arrived to put out fires, the white mob turned them away at gunpoint.[2] By 4 a.m., an estimated two-dozen black-owned businesses had been set ablaze.
As news traveled among Greenwood residents in the early morning hours, many began to take up arms in defense of their community, while others began a mass exodus from the city. Throughout the night both sides continued fighting, sometimes only sporadically.
Upon the 5 a.m. sunrise, reportedly a train whistle was heard (Hirsch said it was a siren). Many believed this to be a signal for the rioters to launch an all-out assault on Greenwood. A white man stepped out from behind the Frisco depot and received a fatal bullet from a sniper in Greenwood. Crowds of rioters poured from places of shelter, on foot and by car, into the streets of the black community. Five white men in a car led the charge, but were killed by a fusillade of gunfire before they had gone a block.[2]
Overwhelmed by the sheer number of white men, more blacks retreated north on Greenwood Avenue to the edge of town. Chaos ensued as terrified residents fled for their lives. The rioters shot indiscriminately, and killed many residents along the way. Splitting up into small groups, they began breaking into houses and buildings, looting them and taking whatever they fancied. Several blacks later testified that whites broke into occupied homes, and ordered the residents out to the street, where they could be driven or forced to walk to detention centers.[2]
A rumor spread among the whites that the new Mount Zion Baptist Church was being used as a fortress and armory. Supposedly twenty caskets full of rifles had been delivered to the church, though no evidence was ever found.[2]
Numerous witness accounts described airplanes carrying white assailants, who fired rifles and dropped firebombs on buildings, homes, and fleeing families. The planes, six biplane two-seater trainers left over from World War I, were dispatched from the nearby Curtiss-Southwest Field (now defunct) outside Tulsa.[20] White law enforcement officials later stated the planes were to provide reconnaissance and protect whites against a "Negro uprising".[20] Eyewitness accounts and testimony from the survivors maintained that on the morning of June 1, the planes dropped incendiary bombs and fired rifles at black residents on the ground.[20]
Several groups of blacks attempted to organize a defense, but they were overwhelmed by the number of armed whites. Many blacks surrendered. Others returned fire, and ultimately died. As the fires spread northward through Greenwood, countless black families continued to flee. Many were estimated to have died when trapped by the flames.
As unrest spread to other parts of the city, many middle class white families who employed blacks in their homes as live-in cooks and servants were accosted by white rioters. They demanded that families turn over their employees to be taken to detention centers around the city. Many white families complied, and those who refused were subjected to attacks and vandalism in turn.[16]
Adjutant General Charles Barrett of the Oklahoma National Guard arrived with 109 troops from Oklahoma City by special train about 9:15 a.m. He could not legally act until he had contacted all the appropriate local authorities, including the mayor, the sheriff and the police chief. Meanwhile his troops paused to eat breakfast. Barrett also summoned reinforcements from several other Oklahoma cities. By this time, most of the surviving black citizens had either fled the city or were in custody at the various detention centers. The troops declared martial law at 11:49 a.m.,[2] and by noon had managed to suppress most of the remaining violence.
The reported number of dead varies widely. On June 1, 1921, the Tulsa Tribune reported that 9 whites and 68 blacks had died in the riot, but shortly afterward changed this to a total of 176 dead. On the next day, the same paper reported the count as 9 whites and 21 blacks. The New York Times said that 77 people had been killed, including 68 blacks, but then lowered the total to 33. The Oklahoma Department of Vital Statistics count put the number of dead at 36: 26 black and 10 white. Maurice Willows, an American Red Cross social worker, reported that up to 300 blacks were killed. He also reported that there was a rush to bury the bodies and that no records were made of many burials.[2]
Of the some 800 people admitted to local hospitals for injuries, the majority are believed to have been white, as both black hospitals had been burned in the rioting. Additionally, even if the white hospitals had admitted blacks because of the riot, against their usual segregation policy, injured blacks had little means to get to these hospitals, which were located across the city from Greenwood. More than 6,000 black Greenwood residents were arrested and detained at three local facilities: Convention Hall, now known as the Brady Theater, the Fairgrounds (then located about a mile northeast of Greenwood), and McNulty Park (a baseball stadium at Tenth Street and Elgin Avenue).[2]
Several blacks were known to have died while in the internment centers. While most of the deaths are said to have been accurately recorded, no records have been found as to how many detainees were treated for injuries and survived. These numbers could reasonably have been more than a thousand, perhaps several thousand.[21]
The commercial section of Greenwood was destroyed. This included 191 businesses, a junior high school, several churches and the only hospital in the district. The Red Cross reported that 1,256 houses were burned and another 215 were looted but not burned. The Tulsa Real Estate Exchange estimated property losses amounted to $1.5 million in real estate and $750,000 in personal property ($30 million in 2015). Local citizens had filed more than $1.8 million in riot-related claims against the city by June 6, 1922.[2]
A grand jury in Tulsa ruled that Police Chief John Gustafson was responsible for the riot because he neglected his duty, and removed him from office. In a subsequent trial, he was found guilty of failing to take proper precautions for protecting life and property, and for conspiring to free automobile thieves and collect rewards. But, the former chief never served time in prison. Instead, he returned to his private detective practice.[2] No legal records indicate that any other white official was ever charged of wrongdoing or even negligence.
Dick Rowland remained safe in the county jail until the next morning, when the police transported him out of town in secrecy. All charges were dropped. He never returned to Tulsa.[2]
No charges were filed against individual white rioters.[22] Other lawsuits against insurance companies for losses were unsuccessful as well.[23]
The division between white and black residents of Tulsa was so deep that the end of the riot did not begin to bring reconciliation. The widespread destruction of Greenwood was not sufficient for those whites who wanted to separate even further from blacks. A week after the riot, W. Tate Brady was appointed to the Tulsa Real Estate Exchange ("The Exchange"). The Tulsa Chamber of Commerce had created the group to estimate the value of property damaged or destroyed in Greenwood. The Exchange also contrived a scheme to relocate black Tulsans farther north and east of the original Greenwood.
In cooperation with the City Commission, the Exchange prepared new building codes for the original Greenwood that would make rebuilding prohibitively expensive for the original owners. The land could then be redeveloped as a commercial and industrial district - no longer residential. The plan was never implemented because the Oklahoma Supreme Court overruled the proposed ordinances as unconstitutional. B. C. Franklin, the lead attorney of the black community who challenged the ordinance, was the father of John Hope Franklin, who became a notable historian.[24]
In 1996, following increased attention to the riot because of the 75th anniversary of the event, the state legislature authorized the Tulsa Race Riot Commission, to study and prepare a "historical account" of the riot. Undertaking the study "enjoyed strong support from members of both political parties and all political persuasions."[25] The Commission delivered its report on February 21, 2001.[26][27]
In addition to thoroughly documenting the causes and damages of the riot, the report recommended actions for substantial restitution to the black community; in order of priority:
Direct payment of reparations to survivors of the 1921 Tulsa race riot;
Direct payment of reparations to descendants of the survivors of the Tulsa race riot;
A scholarship fund available to students affected by the Tulsa race riot;
Establishment of an economic development enterprise zone in the historic area of the Greenwood district; and
A memorial for the reburial of the remains of the victims of the Tulsa race riot.[28]
The Tulsa Reparations Coalition, sponsored by the Center for Racial Justice, Inc., was formed on April 7, 2001 to obtain restitution for the damages suffered by Tulsa's Black community, as recommended by the Oklahoma Commission.
In June 2001, the Oklahoma state legislature passed the "1921 Tulsa Race Riot Reconciliation Act". While falling short of the Commission's recommendations, it provided for the following:
The state government has made limited attempts to find suspected mass graves used to bury the unknown numbers of black dead. The Commission reported that it was not authorized to undertake the necessary archaeological work to verify the claims.
Five elderly survivors of the riot, represented by a legal team including Johnnie Cochran and Charles Ogletree, filed suit against the city of Tulsa and the state of Oklahoma (Alexander, et al., v. Oklahoma, et al.) in February 2003, based on the findings of the 2001 report. Ogletree said the state and city should compensate the victims and their families "to honor their admitted obligations as detailed in the commission's report."[31] The plaintiffs did not seek reparations as such; rather, they asked for the establishment of educational and health-care resources for current residents of Greenwood.[32] The federal district and appellate courts dismissed the suit, citing the statute of limitations on the 80-year-old case.[33] The US Supreme Court declined to hear the appeal.
In April 2007, Ogletree appealed to the US Congress to pass a bill extending the statute of limitations for the case, given the long suppression of material about it.[34]

Health care workers are some of the most underappreciated and overworked individuals in any industry. Due to the fast-paced and risky nature of their jobs, these men and women may face a higher chance of suffering injuries and facing exposure to dangerous illnesses. Fortunately, it is possible to minimize the risk of illness or injury by implementing certain safety measures.
Weekly wage may average 2 wages for workers' compensation amount
When a worker in New York City is injured at work, the injuries suffered must be covered by workers' compensation benefits, which is a basic principle of coverage applicable in all states. What happens when the worker has two jobs and is injured when off duty for his or her main job? It depends on the facts, but every worker must be covered for workers' compensation benefits by each employer for whom he or she works.
Employer charged after 1 death, 2 construction injuries at site
One of the cardinal rules of workers' compensation is that the employee cannot sue the employer. As a trade-off, claims are supposed to be paid quickly and without hassle, regardless of fault. Regarding construction injuries and related mishaps, that premise often has resulted in greater benefit to the employer and substantial hardship to the employee, both in New York City and nationwide.
Workplace injuries hit new workers in greater numbers
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration reports that about 40 percent of injured workers are in their first year on the job. Why do new workers have such a high risk of injury in their first year? In New York City and nationwide, the reasons for many first-year workplace injuries follow a pattern that employers must work to change.
Workers' compensation carrier uses computer models in treatment
For New York City construction workers and other workers in the city, chronic pain is a central aspect of many workplace injuries. A major workers' compensation insurer, Travelers, has initiated a predictive model that it asserts focuses more intensively on the worker's treatment needs sooner after the injury occurs. This allegedly results in a shorter recovery period and counters the use of opioids in the treatment of such pain.

Work centers like WeWork, Merkspace and others have become very popular among entrepreneurs, start-ups, and freelancers from a variety of fields who work without a permanent office. Now, a new Israeli venture is trying to present something a bit different through a conference room complex, which operates according to the model of renting rooms at an hourly rate. The project, "Meet in Place," wants to save you the hassle of reserving your office meeting room or the uncomfortable feeling of sitting in a coffee shop for 3 hours. The concept also offers the possibility of conducting meetings and conferences in the heart of the city.
A very clear purpose
"Meet in Place" offers a similar but different concept to the work areas we know, being a designated place for meetings and conferences in the heart of Tel Aviv – whether that be a professional interview, start-up work meetings or a presentation to be given over to 30 people. The complex includes 20 meeting rooms of different sizes and styles (including a classic meeting room, large meeting room, a Salon and a Grand Salon), all with WiFi connection.
A nice feature 'Meet in Place' offers is the ability to see the availability of the rooms at any given time (even a few months ahead, similar to hotel booking sites,), reserve them in advance and secure your reservation without even having to raise the phone. The whole process is done online through their website or application. Another perk is that meetings in an office space are considered tax-deductible, unlike a meeting that takes place in a café.
In terms of rates, the Classic Conference Room cost about 98 NIS per hour for up to 3 participants – each additional participant will cost an additional 8 NIS. The room can accommodate up to 10 participants. In the evening hours (starting at 19:00) the rate is lower and stands at 65 NIS per hour. The Grand Salon for up to 10 people costs 144 NIS for 3 people (each additional person will cost an additional 8 NIS) and the Large Conference Room that can accommodate up to 30 people costs 196 NIS for 3 people, and an additional 8 NIS per extra participant.
In addition, the rate of the Classic Conference Room includes espresso and soda water. Those of you who are not satisfied with espresso can order the Classic room, which also includes a cappuccino at NIS 108 per hour. The room with the highest upgrade, which includes cookies alongside the coffee costs about NIS 118 per hour. You can go through the rooms and see their exact specifications from the size of the TV screen to how many people it can accommodate. By the way, we checked and there is a 'club membership' that can be purchased, allowing users to buy and bank hours from 25, 50 or 100 hours at a time for a discounted rate of up to 20%.
On the surface, it seems to us that this is an interesting concept. For a reasonable amount, it is possible to have a quiet conversation over a cup of coffee with other people right in the center of Tel Aviv (the compound is located at 8 Rothschild Street). The brains behind the project are entrepreneurs Mickey Dorsman, who is also a partner at WeWork and Yaron Kopel, a former senior executive at SodaStream (so now you understand why there is a soda machine in each room).

Christmas Lights Maps
What does it take to make the list?
- More than one element in the display
- LOTS of lights
- Music or sound is a plus even if it isn't timed to your display as some are.
- Creative display or themed to a current pop culture item (like 5710 Mt Vernon way in Mount Pleasant)
- Over the top additional decorations with the lights.
- Fun factor...... hard to define but if it makes you go "WOW" or makes you smile when you see it then it qualifies
We hope you have as much fun looking at these displays as we did researching them and we look forward to seeing your suggestions on ones that we missed. (cause after all we aren't God and dont see everything)
Racine "High"lights
You have the map but now here are the some of the reasons we picked the ones we did.
- Of course the Racine Zoo is on the list because it is easy to access and all viewable from main street.
- We especially liked the North Bay neighborhood because so many people participated.
- Hialeah and Appaloosa Trail are NOT TO BE MISSED we couldn't pick just one house because there were so many fabulous choices
- Also the Hampton Heights neighborhood had some standouts but overall had lots of lights so if you can only hit one that is the one to get
- And our top pick in Racine this year is 2616 Northwestern Ave. Gawdy during the day, beautifully lit at night.
Kenosha "High"lights
You have the map but now here are the some of the reasons we picked the ones we did.
- All of 15th Ave from 80th St to the Dead end at 8330. This is a neighborhood that gets excited about Christmas lights
- You can zig zap through the whole square section of 22nd Ave to 30th Ave between 80th and 85th St and not be able to list them all.
- 7951 33rd Ave Starts off its whole street with an amazing display (they are the top of the page looped video this year)
- Of course Christmas Ln shouldn't be missed (68th St from 57th Ave to 63rd Ave) Bring a donation for the charities they support if you can
- and our top pick in Kenosha this year is 9937 Cooper Rd in Pleasant Prairie because not only does it have a massive light display and sound but it has multiple songs to enjoy for as long as you wish.

Tips for Organic Mosquito Control
Many natural products including citronella buckets are not very effective at keeping mosquitoes away. Another option is to use an oscillating pedestal fan on high. The fan will stop mosquitoes from being able to land and reduce their landings by between 45 to 65 percent.
There are other options of natural mosquito control that are more effective at controlling the mosquito population in your yard. These steps can help reduce the number of mosquitoes.
- Cover your garbage containers.
- Turn your wheelbarrows, boats and canoes over when you store them.
- Put away containers that may collect water. Flower pots, toys and buckets may all gather water.
- Keep your gutters clean.
- Keep your grass cut and your shrubs neat and trimmed.
- Clear your yard of old tires.
While these can reduce the number of mosquitoes, they will not completely eliminate them. Contact Mosquito Tek to set up a program to eradicate mosquitoes from your yard using our Organic Compliant Products. Our comprehensive natural mosquito control uses the best mosquito management practices in the industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a product "organic compliant?"
The National Organics Program (NOP) has set up regulations and specific standards that mean the product is safe to use on and around food crops. The products also maintain organic compliance on properties where it is required.
Is the organic product as effective as the conventional product?
Yes. The organic product is label designated to kill mosquitoes for up to 14 days. It offers the same protection as the conventional product. Since it is organic, it does break down faster than the conventional treatment and needs to be applied biweekly. The conventional product is designed to last 21 days with a better residual barrier, which means you will only need the treatment every 21 days.

From an aggrieved Global Times:
Artist Ai Weiwei published the private cell phone numbers of several people on the Internet November 20, making them suffer from many prank calls. The editor-in-chief and an editor of Global Times were among the victims. This is a prominent case in which political dissent drives people to take immoral activities. Unethical political struggles are more active in China's microblog sphere now and even many intellectuals and social celebrities are involved. This should not happen in a rational society ….
… As many microbloggers try to attract more followers, their posts veer radical, which causes violent opposition online and brings out more negative influences on Chinese society. It is not teaching people how to accept dissent and be tolerant to each other, but is demonstrating how to become prejudiced and assert dominance ….
All games have their rules and so does the political game on the Internet. If China refutes any regulation of the online world, its social morality will be damaged. The Chinese government should take measures to regulate the online order and curb the increasingly rampant violations on personal rights, including invasion of privacy and death threats. The relevant authorities should take actions to crack down on these illegal acts while safeguarding the freedom of speech.
Ai posted the phone numbers on Twitter, however: the relevant authorities in that case may not be eager to cooperate with the proposed crackdown.

On February 2nd, Peter Falker, CFA, gave a presentation titled "Debt Deflation and Quantitative Easing" to the Ham 'n Eggs Club, a business professionals' group that meets weekly at the Edina Country Club.
Peter drew on the writings of Irving Fisher, a 1930s-era economist, who correctly identified the economic symptoms that created the deflationary environment of the Great Depression. He went on to show, by the use of a series of charts and graphs, that those same symptoms exist in the United States economy today.
He quoted Fisher from a 1933 statement that "It is always economically possible to stop or prevent such a depression simply by reflating the price level up to the average level at which outstanding debts were contracted by existing debtors and assumed by existing creditors, and then maintaining that level unchanged."
Peter went on to show that this is precisely what the Federal Reserve is doing today with "Quantitative Easing", which is the largest inflation of the U.S. money supply in history. Since 2008, the Fed has expanded the monetary base by over $1.25 trillion, with the stated purpose of reflating the price level, i.e., literally creating inflation to offset deflation.
He quoted the "Bernanke Playbook" from a 1999 article written by Ben Bernanke, while he was an economics professor at Princeton, calling for Japan to deal with their own deflationary symptoms in the following way:
- Maintain a zero level of interest rates and a stated inflation target.
- Depreciate the currency through large scale open-market sales.
- Initiate a "helicopter drop" of newly printed money to domestic households.
- Buy government and corporate bonds, commercial paper, etc.
While Japan has pursued aggressive monetary policy since 1989, incorporating much of what Bernanke advocated, it has not stopped the deflationary tendencies in that economy. Because of its unstable condition, Japan has remained highly sensitive to negative global economic events. While not a perfect comparison to the U.S., it is important to understand the Japanese experience in the context of current monetary policy in the U.S.
Peter concluded his presentation by pointing out that, while the U.S. stock market has appreciated 20 percent since the Fed's announcement of its latest round of quantitative easing (QE2), the lasting impression left by debt deflation leaves the economy vulnerable to external economic shocks.

In natural selection the fittest individuals survive and pass on their genes to the next generation
Animals' features are highly functional, otherwise they wouldn't survive. But what possible function could a peacock's tail have? The answer lies in another of Charles Darwin's great ideas – sexual selection.
Sexual selection is based on the theory that competition for a mate drives the evolution of certain characteristics. In nature males typically have to compete to be chosen by females. If females favour some attractive feature of a male, the genes for that feature will thrive, as will genetic changes that enhance it – until the benefits in the mating game are balanced by the cost of such extravagant and useless features.
But why do females choose decorated males? Possibly, showy features help females to choose a mate with the 'best' genes. An extravagant display, in beautiful condition, suggests that the male has managed to acquire plenty of food, and has defended himself well against predators and disease. While he might just have been lucky, more likely he has a fine set of genes.Lead image:

Mets' Steven Matz Delivers Win Over Marlins in Series Finale
Standing in foul territory, Steven Matz stared at the ball he had just mishandled and started to give it an angry kick, then changed his mind and instead just picked it up.
Matz and the Mets kept their cool Sunday, barely, overcoming three errors and escaping the National League East cellar after a one-day stay by beating the Miami Marlins, 5-2.
The Mets, who endured their worst June ever, won for only the second time in the past 12 games to reach the season's halfway point at 33-48.
"We're all disappointed with where we're at," Matz said. "We had higher expectations. We're just going to keep pushing."
Matz (4-5) did that in the series finale, when he pitched five and a third innings and allowed only an unearned run. It scored on his error, and he worked around misplays by two teammates — an encouraging sign from a pitcher still learning not to let setbacks snowball.
"You still see him get a little flustered out there," Manager Mickey Callaway said. "But he regroups and makes the next pitch. Today he won the game for us because he did that, because they easily could have tacked on some runs there early. He held them right where he needed to hold them."
The Mets' bullpen leads the majors in losses but limited Miami to one hit in the final three and two-thirds innings. Jeurys Familia completed the four-hitter with a perfect ninth for his 15th save.
Asdrubal Cabrera hit his 14th homer off Dan Straily (3-4). Todd Frazier had two hits and scored three times, and Kevin Plawecki doubled home the Mets' first run.
Straily allowed three runs in seven innings, matching his longest outing of the year. Cameron Maybin hit his first homer for the Marlins, but they slipped back into last place in the division.
"We just didn't do a whole lot with Matz," Manager Don Mattingly said. "That's probably the best I've seen him."
Matz loaded the bases with two out in the second by walking Straily, an .056 career hitter, but then struck out Starlin Castro to escape.
Matz also reached behind his legs to snare Lewis Brinson's grounder and retire him in the fourth. But Matz failed to come up with Straily's safety squeeze bunt with two out in the inning, allowing Miguel Rojas to score from third.
"If I had taken my time I would have had him, but I rushed it," Matz said.
Manager Mickey Callaway talked before the game about how the Mets needed to play better defense, but they did not. Second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera and third baseman Todd Frazier misplayed grounders for errors. Miami misplays in the eighth led to the Mets' final two runs. Center fielder Lewis Brinson failed to catch Frazier's drive after a long sprint, and the play was ruled an RBI double. Frazier then came home on a wild pickoff throw by catcher J. T. Realmuto.
