NORTH SMITHFIELD – Divers recovered the body of a Providence man from the Slatersville Reservoir late Wednesday night after a search that lasted almost three hours.
The body of Johnny Oun, 22, was located at 10:06 p.m. near the base of the Upper Dam, not far from where he was last seen, said North Smithfield Fire Chief Joel Jillson.
Oun was reported missing by several friends with whom he had been swimming, said Police Capt. Bradley Aubin. Oun disappeared after they all jumped off the waterfall together and tried to swim back to shore.
WOONSOCKET — City Planner Jane Talbot is trading her seat behind a desk at City Hall for one on a farm tractor in the Great Plains.
Talbot, who got married on July 4, is quitting her city job at the end of the month to join her husband, who runs a big cattle and grain spread in Oklahoma.
"I'm going to miss a lot of people around here," she says. "This was my childhood home."
NORTH SMITHFIELD — It's called the "black money" scam, a popular fraud that has apparently snared a victim in North Smithfield.
North Smithfield Police Captain Bradley Aubin said a person who lives in town came to the police station on Wednesday to report that he had been victimized by the scam, in which the scammers show the victim several black pieces of paper which they claim is cash that has been dyed. The scammers tell the victim they need money for a special chemical solution to clean the bills and make them usable again.
WOONSOCKET — Retail giant Wal-Mart might not shut down its outmoded Diamond Hill Road store as soon as the company had originally predicted.
The store is on track for retirement when a bigger, modern Wal-Mart Supercenter, under construction in North Smithfield's Dowling Village, opens for business. Store officials had been shooting for a switchover by the end of next month, but the construction project is taking longer than originally expected.
Bucci Development of Warwick, the company building Dowling Village, now says it could be the end of the year before the Supercenter opens.
WOONSOCKET — The pair of bicyclists heading up Social Street Monday evening had a bit more on their minds than a little summer recreation.
And even though their outfits might have been more fitting for a ride on the Blackstone River Bikeway, Patrolmen Michael Flood and John Raymond were still on duty and fully equipped as police officers.
Their four-hour shift on the bikes was part of the Police Department's community policing efforts and was putting the two officers in closer contact with the residents they serve.

Oh for the love of God, will someone please help Victoria Jackson get a grip? She's having an election-induced meltdown. Take the Twitter away from this woman. She's bananas.
"I can't stop crying. America died," she tweeted the day after the election. And before that she tweeted "America died." And before that she tweeted, "I can't stop crying." And you thought Diane Sawyer sounded drunk!
Okay, I had a bit of wine on election night, too. And then the next day I drank some freakin' coffee and WENT TO WORK. Maybe we should cut Victoria some slack because she was obviously off her rocker well before election night. We've heard her insane rants before. There's a reason why she was so hilarious on SNL all those years ago. But there's just something super-special about Victoria Jackson's brand of wing nuttiness.
By the way, America didn't die. It's still here. And if you're a true patriot you'll believe American is collectively stronger than any one of its leaders. America didn't die when George Bush was elected -- twice -- and it won't die during Obama's term. One guy can't break America.
Things that Obama's presidency may cause to die:
I could go on. You get the point. But what I'm more concerned about are the 809 people (and counting) who FAVORITED Victoria Jackson's insane rant. Really, people? You favorited that? Shaking. My. Head. Oh well, I guess I should be glad it was only 809 people. 809 people with no sense of perspective. They won't break America, either.
What do you think of some of the extreme reactions to the elections this year?

It's Roe vs. Wade. Just fyi.
So you are allowed to have an opinion but no one else is? Get a life!
I am getting so sick and tired of these obnoxious liberals bragging about how they won and we lost. Stop it, already! Stop being nasty and accusing us of things that just aren't true! I actually had a 'friend' on Facebook (a friend since High School, none the less) who called me stupid and accused me of trying to take away his civil rights because I voted for Romney. This is how you act when you win? What would have happened if Obama'd lost? I've been accused of a lot more by other people online, too, so it's not just one isolated incident.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Did any of you read for content?
He said as a melee class with 1 strike Ret Paladins are even more boring than Enhance Shaman.
Jordrah: Nothing about dual-wield changes the overall lack of much to do when waiting on the cycle, and the cycle is almost the same as a Ret Paladins. Ret uses big 2-handers better, so it's a wash.
Zach: I also didn't mention Whirlwind, Lifetap, or Iceblock. What do those things have to do with Enhancement or Ret Paladins? About as much as lightning spells. An Enhancement Shaman in melee is not throwing any lightning out. That's a stupid thing to bring up and had nothing to do with what he was talking about. Ret is glorified auto-attack. Well, Enhancement isn't much better yet somehow the perception was different. 4 totems? Please. 2-3 are the maximum you get out of a fight unless you like breaking sheep (that searing totem is always aiming right at the guy with a moon on him right before he gets sheeped, I swear) or having useless totems that suck up GCDs.
Water totem: meh, useful, not needed. Healing sucks for enhance. Fire: See above. Earth: Blessing of might. Air: Grace of air. So I got 2 totems that matter. Not that much different than an aura and blessing. Water shield might give me 1 more thing to do during a fight. Wow, vastly different.
The truth is in melee, Enhancement isn't that different. I've got both, I played with Ret a little and thought "If I wanted an Enhancement Shaman, I would have rolled another, going to tank now. Heck, tanking isn't even that different as Holy Shield takes Crusader Strikes place, and you only have to taunt mobs, and consecrate that are added to the mix.
Darian: What about the cooldown matters? I have a cooldown that makes my rotation shorter, so I might push 2 buttons more in 15 seconds? Paladins in raids cast more than blessings and I never see 4 totems as buffs, ever. It's just dumb to try. I buff people with 2-3 and while they are helpful, they are rarely ever all being used by people. I put down WF for melee, I don't see it so I am losing, mana isn't helping rogues, and fire does nothing except shoot things.
Gadai: Nice math that is incorrect to say the least.
3 second coldown means there is a MAXIMUM of 20PPM. This is not affected by haste or extra attacks (SoC is), it is a 20% chance regardless. So now you have a buff that when off cooldown has a 72% chance to proc if your weapons are synched. That is not a definite proc the first swing off CD, so it is less than 20PPM. Additionally, how many swing timers are exactly at 1.5 seconds to get the maximum number of proc chances? Well, if you have bloodlust up (10 min CD) and flurry, your swing timer with a 2.6 weapon is 1.6. You still will never see 20PPM. Crit has nothing to do with it, by the way.
The point of the post was lost on some people, let me explain. He acted as if an Enhance Shaman was somehow inherently less boring in melee than a Ret Paladin. I was pointing out that the two classes are so similar that if you change words you have almost the exact same pattern in melee. These 2 classes are boring as heck in melee. We get 1 swing, some buffs to our weapons to do more damage, a spell occasionally to do more damage, and that's about it. We do not get a huge amount of melee options (rogues, cats or warriors) not any special mechanics to make the class operate differently than spellcasters or hunters.

Well said Northguy.
Last night at the ACC was incredible and to be honest the best in form RUSH that I have seen over the past few tours. High energy from the get go and the guys tighter than ever.
I'm sick of hearing about all of these so called RUSH FANS who only want to hear the classics. They just did the TIME MACHINE tour which gave you three hours of classics. A few years back R30...once again classic filled set list. RUSH have a new incredible piece of work called Clockwork Angels which obviously some of you so called RUSH FANS seem to never have heard of. In case you didn't notice this is the Clockwork Angels Tour 2012.
If you are a true fan of the band you support the entire body of work whether you like it or not. It was a breath of fresh air to see them break out a selection from POWER WINDOWS and I was very happy to see them play Grand Designs, Territories, Middletown Dreams.
As for the second set and 9 of 12 from Clockwork Angels it was incredible, I only wish it had lasted longer. The staging and lighting told the story beautifully and with the string section it only took the entire set to a higher level.
No sound issues where we were sitting and I honestly think it is luck of the draw where you sit. All the tones were crisp and clear with everyone balanced perfectly. The strings came through chrystal clear. Only regret was not getting Manhattan Project on this date as I would have loved to see the strings on that.
Basically no matter how much you like or hated the set, the point is that RUSH are still in their prime and on top of their game. Can't say the same about some of the new up and comers who can't even really play their instruments without the help of overdubs and lots of studio work. On the flip side, there are a few too many washed up bands still taking a kick at the can who could pack it in. RUSH are not one of them.
Compeltely agree that it is awsome to see so many torches being passed within families and I am very happy to say that I was present with my 4 year old daughter (1st RUSH show) and my 8 year old daughter (2nd RUSH - 1st was TM 2010). They loved every single minute of the 3 hour show. They are both talking now about how they want to learn to play drums and instruments now. Another positive considering most kids want to be pop stars.
THANK YOU RUSH for the continued top notch shows, and congrats on Clockwork Angels it is an epic addition to your catalogue and pleasure hearing live.
Posted 10/17/2012 10:37 AM by analog_kid
Couldn't agree with you more, Northguy, on everything you said. You got your "classic hits" on the Time Machine tour and, one could argue, on the S&A tour as well (when they dusted off Entre Nous, Circumstances, and Bankok!!).
I was at the show on Sunday night and it blew my mind. Loved the 80's tunes - that's a great era for the band, in my opinion, one that has been neglected in recent tours.
Rush rules!!
Posted 10/17/2012 9:10 AM by northguy
Well...it's the morning after the night before and I have to say Rush was amazing! Everything I expected and hoped for. Having seen the setlist rotation on their current tour, I knew what to expect, dusted off my 80's albums the past couple weeks and listened to most of the songs I knew were coming.
I loved both sets, but particularly the run of Clockwork Angels songs in set #2.
In my opinion, CA is perhaps their best album since Moving Pictures and I would have been happy to hear the entire album (they played 9 of the 12 songs from the album). The use of the string ensemble really works well...I mean really, really well. And the band played these songs as if they had been peforming them for years. Has a better rock song than Headlong Flight been released by anyone, anywhere the past couple years?
Some people have complained about the heavy rotation of '80's songs from Signals, Grace Under Pressure, Power Windows, etc. in set #1 and wished they would have played more of the classic "hits". However, I saw the Time Machine tour two years ago and got my fill of those great classics. The first set of those 80's songs was performed and sounded much better than I thought they would - but then again, with Neil, Alex and Geddy I didn't expect anything less. All three were on their game, but it seemed to me that Alex was particularly on fire - all his solos were simply spot on and he brought the ACC down in Analog Kid.
BTW - noticed so many father/son groupings like mine (this concert was a birthday gift from my 20-something sons). Seems like we're passing on the torch to the next generation :>)

THURSDAY, Nov. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Eating more protein sourced from vegetables might help people with chronic kidney disease live longer, a new study suggests.
In people with chronic kidney disease, poor kidney function means that toxins that are normally excreted in urine can build up in the blood.
According to the Harvard School of Public Health, good sources of vegetable protein include beans, nuts and whole grains.
Prior research has shown that vegetable protein beats animal protein at lowering the production of blood toxins, the authors of the new study explained.
Led by Xiaorui Chen of the University of Utah, the researchers looked at more than 1,100 chronic kidney disease patients who took part in a major U.S. government health survey.
After adjusting for factors such as age, smoking and weight/overweight, the researchers found that for each 10-gram rise in vegetable protein intake per day, the patients had a 14 percent lower risk of dying by the end of 2006.
Two kidney disease experts said the findings highlight diet's effect on the illness.
The study suggests that "the type of protein consumed may have an important impact on outcomes, namely that higher vegetable protein intake may be associated with better survival," said Dr. Joseph Mattana, chief of the division of nephrology and hypertension at Winthrop-University Hospital in Mineola, N.Y.
He said that managing the nutritional needs of kidney disease patients who aren't on dialysis is a "complex" task. He called the new findings "encouraging," but said that better studies are needed to test the theory that higher vegetable protein intake offers a real benefit.
Dr. Stephen Fishbane is chief of the division of kidney diseases and hypertension at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, N.Y. He said the study was "interesting" but added that it had some limitations.
"For example, people who eat more healthy diets may have other health behaviors that are also more positive, perhaps it is not the vegetable protein that is helpful," said Fishbane , who is also chief of the division of kidney diseases and hypertension at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, in New Hyde Park, N.Y.
"Although the results are promising, patients with kidney disease should not change their diet based on this one study alone, more work will be needed to confirm these results," he said.
For his part, study author Chen agreed that only more research can confirm whether boosting chronic kidney disease patients' vegetable protein intake will result in fewer deaths.
The study is scheduled for presentation Thursday at the American Society of Nephrology's annual meeting in Atlanta. Findings presented at medical meetings are typically considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Is the Green Bay loss one of the top five worst regular season losses in Cowboy history?
Nick: Not to me, honestly. I know it hurts because they led 26-3, but the fact that it really doesn't mean that much in the standings doesn't allow me to put it there – yet. I know it could be bigger depending on what happens next week. But if they beat Washington and the Eagles beat the Bears at home, then it still comes down to beating the Eagles at the end. And it wouldn't have really mattered what happened here. So for that reason, I won't say that. And as for some bad ones, obviously you've got Detroit in 2011 and about four of them in the 2008 season. And that's just recent history. Yeah, it was bad. But I wouldn't put it there yet. Now if the Eagles lose to the Bears, it might change things.
Rowan: Yes. I don't even have to look them up. A 23-point lead at halftime against a quarterback who'd thrown for three touchdown passes all year should be comfortable enough for a victory. The collapse featured all the aspects that have burdened the Cowboys either in the past or this season, adding to a growing list of close games this season that end in poor fashion.
David: There have been some brutal losses just in this season, let alone recent seasons, and this one just might be the worst of 2013. At least the Denver loss was to all-time great Peyton Manning, and at least in Detroit it was all-time great Calvin Johnson who buried the Cowboys. They just surrendered a 23-point lead to Matt Flynn and a rookie running back – at home, no less. I don't know where it ranks historically, but I think it's the worst loss in a season that's had plenty of bad losses.
I saw a lot of poor decisions that I attribute to the loss to Green Bay. While Romo's INTs were heartbreakers, why didn't the Cowboys run the ball more when it seemed to be effective -- especially late in the fourth quarter?
Nick: Because they get too cute. They were playing too aggressive. We always talk about teams playing to win. Well sometimes YOU SHOULD play not to lose. It's ok. The result is the same. And the Cowboys should've either called more runs and forced the quarterback not to change out of them. That cost them the game without a doubt. There's no way a back should have 11 runs in the first half and his team lead 26-3, and then get only seven in the second half, especially when the defense had no answer for him.
Rowan: There are no excuses for that. Jason Garrett said Romo checked out of the first interception, but he shouldn't have had that option.
David: I don't want to repeat Nick and Rowan, but I just want to add: only three of Murray's second half carries came in the fourth quarter. You know what's even worse? It's not like the Packers found a way to slow him down – he averaged 5.8 yards per carry in his seven second half attempts. It's baffling and it will continue to be baffling.
With the coaching decisions made in the Detroit game, I thought that would be the end of this era. After today's game against a horrible Green Bay team, will the head coach leave with his job?
Nick: Ask me in two weeks. Seriously, it's just not to the time for all of that. As bad as this one hurts, the Cowboys can still win the next two games and make the playoffs. I don't know if that saves his job, but I just think he'll be viewed differently. As I've said all along, if he doesn't make the playoffs, I don't see him coming back. So until that's off the table, I still would like to wait.
Rowan: I think he'll leave the game with it. Jerry Jones seemed to make that pretty clear. But if the Cowboys don't turn it around their last two games, that answer will probably change after the season
David: A month ago, I wasn't sure the Cowboys needed to reach the playoffs for Garrett to keep his job. But with the way December has started – a blowout loss and a head-scratcher of a collapse – it seems more likely there will be a change if this team doesn't reach the postseason.

Celebrate only a few select birthdays
Most birthdays are not landmark occasions. And think of all the money we could save.
This post comes from Paul Michael at partner blog Wise Bread.
What if we suddenly stopped celebrating every single birthday in our lives, and instead concentrated on just the important ones? Would you care? Would you support it? I'll tell you one thing -- we'd all save a bunch of money.
The idea comes from one of my favorite comedians, Patton Oswalt. If you don't know the name, you'll certainly know the voice. He played Remy in "Ratatouille." He was also Spence Olchin in "The King Of Queens," and he's an exceptional comedian.
- Bing: More about Patton Oswalt
On his CD "Werewolves and Lollipops," he outlines a plan to stop the celebration of most birthdays, saying that there's nothing special about most of them. And he's right. What's so special about hitting 36 (my next birthday)? Or 42? Or even 14? They're not landmark dates in your existence. They're just another year.
The full list is printed below.
Birthdays you can and cannot celebrate:
- Ages 1 through 9. Yes. You're a little kid, and kids should get to celebrate birthdays.
- Age 10. Yes. You've entered the double digits. Something different has happened. You get a birthday.
- Ages 11-12. No. Nothing special about those years.
- Age 13. Yes. Now you're a teenager, and that's worth celebrating.
- Ages 14-15. No. Again, nothing special here.
- Age 16. Yes. The laws have changed. Now you can drive. That's worth celebrating.
- Quiz: Test your driving skills
- Age 17. No. What's special about being 17? Exactly.
- Age 18. Yes. Awesome birthday. You can vote and own a gun. That's all worth celebrating. (And if you're in other countries, including England, you can drink alcohol. Now, that is worth a party.)
- Age 19. Yes. It's your last year as a teenager.
- Age 20. Yes. You've entered your twenties.
- Age 21. Yes. Awesome birthday. You're an adult. Hit the bars.
- And then only one birthday every 10 years (30, 40, 50, 60 and so on) until you hit 90. After 90, you get a birthday every year because the rule no longer applies to you.
Now, as 90 is a rare age for most of us to reach, I'd say most of us are in for 22 or 23 birthday celebrations in our lifetime. That's a lot less than 70 to 80. And think of all the money we wouldn't have to spend. Hallmark would see its profits go down the toilet, but personally I wouldn't shed a tear (especially when you can make those cards on your own). Paying $4 or $5 for a card someone reads once and throws away is something of an extravagance anyway. And think of all the trees and resources we'd save.
Not only that, but once you reach the adult years, you usually don't want for that much anyway. As a kid, you have no income. Your birthdays are what you rely on for toys, clothes, games and candy. But as a 36-year-old, I'll be getting stuff for my birthday that I could afford anyway. I usually have to search my brain for days to come with ideas for people. And they're the same. My dad's birthday is in a few weeks. He had no idea what he wanted, so I bought him some DVDs. He's probably seen them, he may even have them, and who knows if he even wants them.
Now, I'm not saying we should treat the day like any other. By all means, have a few drinks after work or go to the movies. Have a good meal. But do we really need to continue spending all of this money on each other, buying junk we don't need for people who don't want anything, just because we've reached the grand old age of 27 or 43? Many people in this world would be thankful for a healthy meal and sanitary water every day, and the money we throw at each other on gifts, cards, and endless wrapping could more than pay for that.
This idea may have started as a joke, but I think it's far from just a bit of comic relief. Think it over.

Static Shielding, Cleanroom Bags (MIL-PRF-81705D, TYPE III, CLASS 1)(JPG-5322-1 Level 100) - 3Mil OnlyOctober 3, 2012 10:27 am | Degage Corp. | Products
DC-7000-C Static Shielding, cleanroom bags (MIL-PRF-81705D, TYPE III, CLASS 1.) DegageCorp. Class 100 (ISO Class 5) cleanroom film ("Metal-In") static shielding bags will also meet the military specification of MIL-PRF-81705D, type 3 as well as the the cleanliness specification of NASA JPG 5322-1 Level 100 and ISO 14644-1 Class 5. DegageCorps. metalized static shielding bags are a 3mil composite consisting of an outer layer of static dissipative coating applied to a layer of polyester that is vacuum deposited with a conductive aluminum metal coating and laminated to an inner layer of permanent static dissapative 108th low density polyethylene. The DegageCorp. transparent static shielding bag provides complete shielding from electrostatic discharge, RFI frequencies and EMI impulses. DegageCorps. static shielding bags instantly dissipate static charges. Loaded circuit boards can be safely handled and stored, shipped and are readily identified without removal when placed in our transparent static shielding bags. Your products are static secure and totally enclosed in a Faraday Cage environment. Electrostatic voltages applied to the outside of the bag cannot affect components within the bag. This is not the case with Anti-Static bags which slowly dissipate static charges. Slow dissipation generally results in increased voltages inside anti-static polyethylene bags, potentially causing component degradation. The DegageCorp. transparent static shielding is the best protection available for static sensitive components that are being brought into an ISO Class 5 cleanroom.LISTED UNDER: Films/Foils | Other Packages | Pouches/Bags

Because like, honestly, that's the backbone of Chinese cooking: how you prepare it. Not even how you COOK it (because like there's really only one rule for HOW to cook something in Chinese culture: WITH A REALLY…
8 vegetables that you can regrow again and again.
You can regrow scallions by leaving an inch attached to the roots and place them in a small glass with a little water in a well-lit room.
When garlic begins to sprout, you can put them in a glass with a little water and grow garlic sprouts. The sprouts have a mild flavor than garlic and can be added to salads, pasta and other dishes.
Bok Choy
Bok choy can be regrown by placing the root end in water in a well-lit area. In 1-2 weeks , you can transplant it to a pot with soil and grow a full new head.
Put carrot tops in a dish with a little water. Set the dish in a well-lit room or a window sill. You'll have carrot tops to use in salads.
Put clippings from basil with 3 to 4-inch stems in a glass of water and place it in direct sunlight. When the roots are about 2 inches long, plant them in pots to and in time it will grow a full basil plant.
Cut off the base of the celery and place it in a saucer or shallow bowl of warm water in the sun. Leaves will begin to thicken and grow in the middle of the base, then transfer the celery to soil.
Romaine Lettuce
Put romaine lettuce stumps in a 1/2 inch of water. Re-water to keep water level at 1/2 inch. After a few days, roots and new leaves will appear and you can transplant it into soil.
The stems of cilantro will grown when placed in a glass of water. Once the roots are long enough, plant them in a pot in a well-lit room. You will have a full plant in a few months.

Anonymous asked: how do you write an essay?
This is how i write philosophy essays:
IDEC - introduction, description, explanation, conclusion. Use IDEC for your essay structure but also within each paragraph.
Make a plan - know your argument and the conclusion you are heading toward. Each paragraph ought to lead fluidly from the last and be clear how the points link together. Compare and relate different points/views, show clearly that you understand the connections and any flaws/resolution of flaws within arguments.
BE CONCISE. Avoid too much exposition, and be wary of merely juxtaposing points/sub-arguments. A says this but B said that doesnt show much. WHY did A say that in regard to what B said? What impact does B's point have on A's, or vice versa?
Paraphrase, paraphrase, gets you As, gets you As!!!!!
SIGNPOST! Okay so I'm assuming you're a student of some sort who is writing for a marker, so the easiest way to get some marks is to make it obvious where your argument is going and what each paragraph is about. There's no point making a great point if it's buried in prose and not made clear how it relates. It might feel bit clunky and awkward to state things you feel are obvious but question as often as you can. Think - WHY am i mentioning this, WHY is it important, HOW does it impact, HOW is it relevant to the essay title, HOW do i make this clear?
Write a fucking good conclusion. My sister is doing her A levels at the moment and she was told she can't get higher than a C without a conclusion. Its important!! Be firm and thorough with it. Be confident, but don't ignore flaws - it is better to show you have noticed them and weighed the other strengths of the argument against them, or suggested potential resolutions, rather than that you didn't notice them at all. Usually a topic essay doesn't allow space for arguing points not directly relevant to the question, and it is okay to say that this is a problem picked by many within the philosophical community but you do not have the space to extrapolate on it within said essay. Try to finish on a strong point - you want it to end with a bang rather than a wet slap.
The moment you've all been waiting for. The moment I've been procrastinating forever. Here you go. The list of what to bring to college. Just a little something before I begin:
One of the most important things to remember is that you don't need to bring your life to college. You have a limited amount of space that you're probably sharing with another person. Keep it light, keep it neat. Your life now consists of dorms, classes, dining hall, and parties. You're going to be seeing the same people every day and doing the same thing every day. Don't let this list influence you to buy stuff that you're not going to use, because the main thing here is saving money and downsizing. On the other hand, you're going to be on your own for the first time and there are probably a lot of things you usually don't have to think about (laundry supplies, dishes, extension cords, etc).
Anyways, enjoy the list, reblog the shit out of it, and HAVE AN AWESOME TIME SHOPPING.
Discussions about racism should be all-inclusive and open to people of all skin colors. However, to put it simply, sometimes White people lack the experience or education that can provide a rudimentary foundation from which a productive conversation can be built. This is not necessarily the fault of the individual, but pervasive myths and misinformation have dominated mainstream racial discourse and often times, the important issues are never highlighted. For that reason, The Frisky has decided to publish this handy list that has some basic rules and information to better prepare anyone for a worthwhile discussion about racism.
1. It is uncomfortable to talk about racism. It is more uncomfortable to live it.
2. "Colorblindness" is a cop-out. The statements "but I don't see color" or "I never care about color" do not help to build a case against systemic racism. Try being the only White person in an environment. You willnotice color then.
3. Oprah's success does not mean the end of racism. The singular success of a Black man or woman (i.e. Oprah, or Tiger Woods, or President Obama) is never a valid argument against the existence of racism. By this logic, the success of Frederick Douglas or Amanda America Dickson during the 19th century would be grounds for disproving slavery.
4. Reverse racism is BS, but prejudice is not. Until people of color colonize, dominate and enslave the populations of the planet in the name of "superiority," create standards of beauty based on their own colored definition, enact a system where only people of color benefit on a large-scale, and finally pretend like said system no longer exists, there is no such thing as reverse racism. Prejudice is in all of us, but prejudice employed as a governing structure is something different.
5. America has not "gotten over" its race-related problems. In American History class you learned about slavery and Jim Crow, but sadly you were taught that figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks eradicated an entire 200-year history of oppression, discrimination and segregation. Your history teachers and books tried close the race chapter on a high note, however the ongoing history of America's systemic racism cannot be simply wrapped up and decorated with a "now we all are equal" bow.
6. Google is your best friend. Search: Black/White wealth gap, redlining, "White flight," subprime mortgages and black families, discriminatory sentencing practices, occupational overcrowding, workplace discrimination, employment discrimination, mandatory minimum sentences and in-school segregation to start. Here are some highlights:
- The median wealth gap difference between a White family and a Black family is $80,000.
- 1 in 9 Black children has an incarcerated parent compared to 1 in 57 White children.
- A White man who has been to jail still more likely to get a job than a Black man who hasn't.
7. Then read some more. Google: Black Wall Street, Sundown towns, eugenics and forced sterilization, and Black voting prohibition.
8. Buy and read a book from a Black author. Some recommendations: W.E.B Dubois, James Baldwin, Frederick Douglass, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, Ralph Ellison, Alice Walker and Zora Neale Hurston would be a great start.
9. Realize that segregation is still rampant. Step outside and take a look around your neighborhood. Lacking people of color much? That is called segregation. It is not by chance, though sometimes by choice. (Refer to "redlining" Google search.)
- About your neighborhood again: Displacing people of color much? That is called gentrification.
- Think about the schools you went to and the classes you had. Not too many minorities in either? (Refer to school segregation/in-school segregation.)
10. Programs or initiatives that target systemic racism are not "charity." We do not refer to the 200 years of free labor provided by enslaved Blacks as charity. Or the Black property stolen by Whites during the decades of state-supported terrorism? Or, say, the unfair banking practices that have completely decimated the Black middle class through foreclosures (refer to subprime mortgages and Black families google search)?
11. Black on Black crime does not exist. There are countless White people committing crimes against White people, but "White-on-White crime" is strangely absent from the rhetoric reporting everything from elementary school shootings to world wars. Why should crimes committed by and against people of color be labelled any differently?
12. White people will not become the minority in America in the next 20 years. "Whites" were originally Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPs). The definition of "White," as a racial classification, has evolved to include "Whiter-skinned" minority groups who were historically discriminated against, barred from "Whiteness" and thus had little access to opportunity. Some examples: Italians and the Irish (who were frequently referred to as n***ers in the 1800's), Jewish people and more recently Hispanic (George Zimmerman) and Armenian minority groups. Such evolutions, however, always exclude Blacks.
13. Hip-hop culture is no more dysfunctional than Wall Street culture. At its worst, commercial "Black culture" is a raw reflection of broader society. The caricatured imagery of drugs, money, and women are headlined most prominently by Wall Street, politicians, and media moguls but this reality never comes to reflect on White people. America spends more on weaponry than the most of the rest of the world combined but somehow it is the "violence" of hip-hop that is an exclusive pathology.
14. Black people are angry about racism, and they have every right to be. Anger is a legitimate and justified response to years of injustice and invisibility.
15. There are poor White people, but racism and discrimination still exists. The plight of the poor White midwest always makes a convenient appearance to deflect any perceived accusation of privilege or to derail conversations of racism. Racist American policy was never about securing the success of all White people, but rather about legalizing the disenfranchisement of Blacks and other people of color.
16. Silence does nothing. Blank stares and silence do not further this difficult but necessary conversation.
17. White guilt is worthless, but White action isn't. One of the most immediate responses to racial discourse is that the effort is all about making White people feel guilty. Discourse about racism is not meant to stir up feelings of guilt, it is meant to drive people to action against injustice. During the times of slavery and the era of the Civil Rights Movement, both Black and White people played and continue to play instrumental roles in Black advancement.
18. Black people are not obligated to answer the "Well, what do we do about it?" question. Though many of us do and are not heard. The call for reparations in the form of "Baby Bonds" is a great idea. So isdesegregating our classrooms and closing the school-to-prison pipeline. These courageous voices are speaking very loudly — it is time to start listening.

Caux Collective Recommends: Heydays (The Streethearts Project)
There are many fantastic blogs here on Tumblr, which specialise in typography and branding, but I would have to say my personal favourite of them all is Type That I Like and it was thanks to this very blog that I was made aware of this, my all-time favourite branding project, from the fantastic Oslo-based design studio, Heydays.
In this project, Heydays undertook the job of designing a brand new, hand-drawn logo, as well as creating a simple and recognisable brand for fellow Norwegian compatriots, The Streethearts, who Heydays describe on their website as, "a street fashion blog with worldwide focus, run by two talented photographers, Andreas Schjønhaug and Eirik Slyngstad."
When speaking of their approach Heydays explained, "We created a logotype, business cards, notepads and their web layout. The bold hand drawn logotype is inspired by street aesthetics, which creates a contrast to the clear and fashion inspired typographic layer beneath."
If you would like to see more from the blogs or companies mentioned, see the appropriate links above, where you will find the websites for each of them.
We hope you enjoyed this post. If there are any Artists you'd like us to write about, or you'd like to give us your opinion on any issues we've raised in this post, contact us on our Twitter, email us on firstname.lastname@example.com or message us here on our Tumblr page.

Over many years of writing about ethics in the conduct of science, I've had occasion to consider many cases of scientific misconduct and misbehavior, instances of honest mistakes and culpable mistakes.

Buses brought volunteers from Philadelphia to Ocean City to help clear the beaches of debris and trashed washed ashore by Hurricane Sandy.
The cleanup was organized by United By Blue, an apparel company with a special focus on ocean and waterway preservation.
Two school buses brought in volunteers from Philadelphia to assist with gathering trash and organizing donated supplies.
Sunday's effort was the first in a planned series of cleanups in the coming months.
"We felt really compelled to restart our cleanup season. We have a whole campaign called the After Sandy Initiative, we're working on multiple cleanups not only in the Jersey Shore but all areas impacted by the storm," said United By Blue founder Brian Linton.
United By Blue plans on holding similar events to clean up waterways in Staten Island and Rockaway, New York.
In total 150 people assisted with the Ocean City cleanup.
Some volunteers were local while others were seeing the Jersey Shore for the first time, but all were united with a sense of responsibility in restoring the shore's beauty.
"Where I was living I didn't really experience any sort of devastation or damage," said volunteer Ben Nelson. "It gave me an opportunity to just see how important it is for volunteers like us to get out here and do our part too and help everybody out cause we're all in this together."
As the calendar moves further away from the devastation of Hurricane Sandy, event organizers realize the importance of sustained cleanup effort well into the future.
"Its really important that people see this and understand just how important it is for continuous work to be done not just a week or two weeks after the storm," said Linton.
In addition to beach cleanups, United By Blue is offering special t-shirts and hoodies with all proceeds going to fund future beach cleanups and aid Sandy victims.

You might remember this Atlanta band as the pop-punk quintet that recorded an album in a glass-encased studio sponsored by MTV and Dr. Pepper. The band's third album, "Cycles," has been a long time coming and it's the first for Wind-Up Records (home of Evanescence, Seether, Finger Eleven and Creed), the band's third label. The group's first album, 2005's "Chroma," was released by the Militia Group. Sony/BMG affiliate Epic Records then signed the band for the self-titled follow-up (that's the one they recorded in the glass bubble).

August Belmont, Sr. (December 8, 1813 – November 24, 1890) was an American politician.
Early life[edit]
August Belmont was born in Alzey, Hesse, on December 8, 1813—some sources say 1816—to Simon and Frederika Elsass Schönberg, a Jewish family. After his mother's death, when he was seven, he lived with his uncle and grandmother in Frankfurt.[2] He attended the Jewish Junior and Senior High School until he began his first job as an apprentice to the Rothschilds.[2] He would sweep floors, polish furniture, and run errands while studying English, arithmetic, and writing.[3] He was then given a confidential clerkship in 1832 and promoted to private secretary before traveling to Naples, Paris, and Rome.[3] In 1837, Belmont set sail for Havana charged with the Rothschild's Cuban interests. On his way to Havana, however, Belmont stopped in New York. He arrived there during the Panic of 1837 and then remained to supervise jeopardized Rothschild interests there instead of continuing on to Havana.[2] After he emigrated to the United States, he changed his surname, Schönberg (German for "beautiful mountain"), to Belmont (French for "beautiful mountain").
August Belmont and Company[edit]
In the Panic of 1837, hundreds of American businesses, including the Rothschild's American agents, collapsed. As a result, Belmont postponed his departure for Havana indefinitely and began August Belmont & Company, believing that he could supplant the recently bankrupt firm, the American Agency.[3] August Belmont and Company was an instant success, and Belmont restored health to the Rothschild's US interests over the next five years.[2] In 1844, Belmont was named the Consul-General of Austria at New York. He resigned the post in 1850 in response to what he viewed as Austria's cruelty towards Hungary, even as his interest in politics grew.[2]
Entry into politics[edit]
Belmont married Caroline Slidell Perry, the daughter of Matthew Calbraith Perry, on November 7, 1849. According to Jewish newspaper sources, he converted to Christianity at that time, taking his wife's Episcopalian faith.[4][5] Soon, John Slidell, his wife's uncle, made Belmont his protégé.[2] Belmont's first task was to campaign for James Buchanan in New York. In June, 1851, Belmont wrote letters to the New York Herald and the New York National-Democrat, insisting that they do justice to Buchanan's presidential run.[2] But Franklin Pierce won the nomination instead, and Belmont made large contributions to the Democratic cause, weathering political attack.[3] After his victory, Pierce in 1853 appointed Belmont chargé d'affaires and minister to The Hague. While in the Netherlands, Belmont urged American annexation of Cuba as a new slave state in what became known as the Ostend Manifesto.[6]
Though Belmont lobbied hard for it, Buchanan denied him the ambassadorship to Spain after his election in 1856, thanks to the Ostend Manifesto.[7] As a delegate to the Democratic Convention of 1860, Belmont supported Stephen A. Douglas, who subsequently named Belmont chairman of the Democratic National Committee. Belmont energetically supported the Union cause during the Civil War as a War Democrat, conspicuously helping Missouri congressman Francis P. Blair raise and equip the Union army's first predominantly German-American regiment.[8] Belmont also used his influence with European business and political leaders to support the Union cause in the American civil war, dissuading the Rothschilds and other bankers from lending to the Confederacy and meeting personally with the British prime minister, Lord Palmerston, and members of Napoleon III's French government.[9]
Postwar political career[edit]
Remaining chairman of the Democratic National Committee after the war, Belmont presided over what he called "'the most disastrous epoch in the annals of the Democratic Party.'"[10] As early as 1862, Belmont and Samuel Tilden bought stock in the New York World in order to mold it into a major Democratic organ with the help of Manton M. Marble, its editor-in-chief.[11] According to the Chicago Tribune in 1864, Belmont was buying up Southern bonds on behalf of the Rothchilds as their agent in New York because he backed the Southern cause. Seeking to capitalize on divisions in the Republican party at the war's end, Belmont organized new party gatherings and promoted Salmon Chase for president in 1868, the candidate he viewed least vulnerable to charges of disloyalty to the party during the Republican Lincoln-Johnson administrations.[12] Horatio Seymour's electoral defeat in that year paled in comparison to liberal Republican Horace Greeley's disastrous 1872 presidential campaign. While the party chairman had promoted Charles Francis Adams for the nomination, Greeley's nomination implied Democratic endorsement of a candidate who often had referred to Democrats as "'slaveholders,' 'slave-whippers,' 'traitors,' and 'Copperheads' and accused them of thievery, debauchery, corruption, and sin."[13] Although the election of 1872 prompted Belmont to resign his chairmanship of the Democratic National Committee, he nevertheless continued to dabble in politics as a champion of US Senator Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware for the presidency, as a fierce critic of the process granting Rutherford B. Hayes the presidency in 1877, and as an advocate of "hard money."[14]
Belmont died in New York in 1890. His funeral was held at the Church of the Ascension in New York.
The Letters, Speeches and Addresses of August Belmont was published at New York in 1890. Belmont left an estate valued at more than ten million dollars.
He is buried in an ornate sarcophagus in the Belmont family plot (along with other Belmonts, Perrys and Tiffanys) in the Island Cemetery in Newport, Rhode Island.[3]
Belmont's sons were Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, Perry Belmont, and August Belmont, Jr..
In culture[edit]
Belmont threw lavish balls and dinner parties, receiving mixed reviews from New York's high society. He was an avid sportsman and the famed Belmont Stakes thoroughbred horse race is named in his honor. It debuted at Jerome Park Racetrack, owned by Belmont's friend, Leonard Jerome. Today The Belmont Stakes is part of thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown and takes place at Belmont Park, just outside New York City.
Also named in Belmont's honor is the town of Belmont, New Hampshire, an honor Mr. Belmont never acknowledged. Edith Wharton reputedly modeled the character of Julius Beaufort in The Age of Innocence on Belmont.[15]
In 1910 famed sculptor John Quincy Adams Ward completed a bronze statue of a sitting Belmont. The statue was originally installed in front of a small chapel adjacent to the Belmont burial plot. It was later moved to the park in Washington Square where it was replaced by a marker dedicating the park as Eisenhower Park in 1960. The statue was loaned by the city of Newport to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1985 and was eventually installed about 1995 in front of the headquarters building for the Preservation Society of Newport County at the corner of Bellevue and Narragansett avenues in Newport.
Belmont was referenced as a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant in Paddy Whacked by T.J. English.
