King Kennedy - Meeting Up (1975)
In the South African context of 1975 it's not difficult to imagine urban, affluent and politically conscious black consumers being drawn to this cover. Vinyl diggers and archaeologists have been similarly drawn in by the imagery and the suggestions contained therein. But all is not what it seems.
The record label on which King Kennedy appears is EMI Brigadiers, which came into being just two years earlier in 1973 as a joint venture between EMI and local company Brigadiers. In the Billboard report of the time Brigadiers was noted as the largest producer of indigenous product in South Africa. Brigadiers had been responsible for recordings by the Zorro Five, Buttercup, the Drakenberg Boys Choir, Min Shaw, Kobus en Hannelie amongst others. The new label continued with indigenous artists such as Pacific Express, Richard Jon Smith, Steve Kekana as well as artists signed to EMI internationally. Of the joint-venture, the chairman of Brigadiers, Albie Venter said "It's a breakthrough for South African independent record producers, artists and composers." (Billboard, 24/3/1973)
The King Kennedy album is credited as "An EMI Brigadiers Studio production" and follows a similar South African pattern of record production and promotion where the performing artist remains uncredited. We had a similar conundrum with the 1969 Brigadiers released Zorro Five album Reggae Shhh (http://electricjive.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/reggae-shhh.html). With a little more research we were able to establish that Zorro Five was a group created and led by Zane Cronje, who won the Best Beat Group SARI Award in 1971 with Zorro Five. Cronje went on to create similar fusion for soundtracks the most notable of which was for the film Snakedancer (http://www.parisdjs.com/index.php/post/Glenda-Snake-Dancer-South-African-OST), that featured South African stripper Glenda Kemp and her python Oupa.
Perhaps then it's no surprise then that King Kennedy is not the bearded and bare chested black man holding the flute with raised fist. It is the nom de plume of John Eric Boshoff (aka Johnny Boshoff), a leading session musician, composer and arranger. Credits for Boshoff pop up all over the place - he played with the Square Set, Neil Cloud, the SADF Band, composed and arranged a number of film soundtracks (see IMDB http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0097945/) and was a key figure behind the breakthrough album that launched Juluka onto the international stage (African Litany). Al Hall Jnr (from the Mallory Hall Band and the Kirk Lightsey album Habiba) talks very highly of him and Boshoff was the only South African to play on an all-star line-up for those recordings replacing Monk Montgomery who, for contractual reasons, could not play.
Listening to the record today it's not difficult to imagine John Boshoff enlisting the skills of Zane Cronje for the album. Whether Boshoff enlisted leading black performers for this remains unclear but given that he worked extensively with Robbie Jansen on a number of projects I would surmise that it is indeed Jansen on flute. Requests for further information from Johnny Boshoff have not been successful.
EMI Brigadiers disappeared around 1983 although the Brigadiers name did continue to be used by Albie Venter for a film production company until his death in 1990. Take a listen and let us know what you think. More unknown pleasures?

Jazz in South Africa (live) (c1959)
Recently, I came across this Austrian EP featuring the Manhattan Brothers and the Jazz Dazzlers amongst others and assumed, like so many other vinyl compilations of this time, that it was compiled from tracks previously issued on 78 rpm. Remarkably the disc happened to be of a live recording!
Given that live performances, especially with these artists, were very scarce at this time, this certainly was an unusual find, and I embarked on a kind of "autopsy" of the disc to see where it would lead.
Beyond the Manhattans, the performance also included the Swanky Spots; Doris, Ducky and the Harmoniens; with the Jazz Dazzlers backing all. The EP includes five tracks and all appear to be from the same performance. None of the tracks are attributed to any particular artist and while it may be possible to figure out a few of the performers, a number of tracks seem to include some or all the artists. Certainly the Jazz Dazzlers appear on all the tracks.
My first question was where was the recording made and in what year?
Interestingly, many of the tunes are in English; most if not all are cover versions. Two of the tracks, Ntyilo-Ntylio and Hush, are South African classics and the remaining three appear to reference major American rock and doo-wop hits of the 1950s. In my research for my previous post on the Bogard Brothers, regarding the influence of rock in South Africa, I came across a reference to a concert "Township Rock" at Johannesburg's City Hall from 7 - 9 May, 1958. The show included amongst others the Woody Woodpeckers and the Jazz Dazzlers. Could this be a recording from that concert?
Ntandane appears to be a Zulu-based cover of Paul Anka's 1957 hit Diana. If there is any doubt, a translation of the German liner notes makes it plain. The notes go on to say that the song is performed by a fifteen year old singer who also happens to be the person featured on the cover image. Could this be Doris?
I do a search for the "Swanky Spots" and discover that Letta Mbulu began her career by joining the close-harmony group in 1956. She was invited by Jimmy Mabena and they would go on to win first prize in a talent contest organized by Union Artists in 1957. Born in August 1942 (according to Wikipedia), Mbulu would have been fifteen in late 1957 and 1958. Is the image on the cover Letta? Could the EP recording be from 1958?
The article on Mbulu goes on to say that she won a part in the 1959 production of King Kong but also claims that she was thirteen at the time. If the later age is true, that would make her fifteen in 1961. Mbulu would go on to perform in both the local and the 1961 London productions of King Kong. Again, could this image be of Letta? Could the EP recording be from 1961?
Further research on the "Swanky Spots" leads me to the credits of the King Kong LP where the group is identified as James Mabena, Letta Mbulu, Johnny Dlamini, Jerry Dube, Joseph Nyembe, and Bobby Mphahlela. I move onto other tracks.
Long Tall Sally was a major hit for Little Richard in 1956. Though South Africans may have been more familiar with Pat Boone's 1956 version which was issued there on the Dot label (D 163). South African record companies chose not to release records by black American rockers, at least in the mid to late 1950s.
The doo-wop track, Little Darlin first by Maurice Williams' Gladiolas was a hit for them early in 1957 and then went on to be an even bigger hit for the Diamonds a month latter. Certainly the Diamonds version would have made it to South Africa that same year.
The track Hush however was a huge hit for Miriam Makeba and the Skylarks and only appears to have been recorded around June of 1958, and was probably issued later that year. While Makeba worked closely with the Manhattan Brothers in the mid 1950s and it is certainly conceivable that they could have recorded this tune before Makeba, Lars Rasmussen's discography makes no mention of it. In my opinion the Manhattan's are covering the tune on the EP in the wake of the Skylarks's success with it. That would put the recording date for the concert around late 1958 or 1959.
Alan Silinga's classic tune Ntyilo-Ntyilo was a hit for the Manhattan Brothers and Miriam Makeba in 1954. The backing group on that recording included Kippie Moeketsi, Mackay Davashe, Boycie Gwele, General Duze, Jacob Lepere and Willie Malan, sometimes known as the Shanty Town Sextet. This group would continue to back the Manhattans, but later, after the inclusion of more musicians became known as the Jazz Dazzlers. Hugh Masekela, Jonas Gwangwa, Gwigwi Mrwebi, Sol Klaaste, Ben Mawela along with Davashe, Moeketsi, Lepere and Duze would record three tracks as the Jazz Dazzlers in Cape Town in July of 1960. Essentially the core of this group was the King Kong band for both the 1959 South African and 1961 London productions. After receiving approval for 60 passports from the South African authorities, on August 11, 1960, the production travelled to London where it opened at the Princess Theatre on February 23, 1961.
After the close of King Kong in London, many of the cast and musicians chose to remain there and not return to South Africa. Lars Rasmussen's biography of Joe Mogotsi does reveal that the Manhattans toured a number of European countries including Switzerland. The group also recorded a live album — Sing Freedom — for The English Folk Music Society at Cecil Sharpe House in London, 1963. Apparently their only live recording!
After all this time I had assumed that the EP was recorded in South Africa. Is it possible that is was made in Europe?
The final clue comes from a translation of the final paragraph of the liner notes. Apart from the potentially racist references to "civilization" and so on, the writer informs us that "our engineer, Wettler" had some difficulty in recording the "microphone unfamiliar" artists. Wettler certainly sounds to me like a German name, and while it is not conclusive, after all Vanguard Records could have sent their recording team to Johannesburg, my gut feeling tells me that the tracks were made in a German-speaking country around 1961.
Furthermore the liner note also reveal an additional EP recording from the same concert (EPA 17005).
Certainly Mackay Davashe and Kippie Moeketsi would return to South Africa and record as the Jazz Dazzlers at the classic 1962 Castle Lager Jazz Festival. The Manhattan Brothers however would not return.
Postscript...
The comments below reveal that the recording was indeed made in Johannesburg. That would put the potential date of the concert somewhere between June 1958 and August 1960.

Bogard Brothers - Street Corner Rock (c1961)
For the next couple of posts I want to focus on some EPs starting with this amazing issue by the Bogard Brothers. The title, Street Corner Jazz, is quite misleading... "Street Corner Rock" would probably be more appropriate!
You may recognise some of these tunes from Pat Conte's classic cassette, Flying Rock, posted at the Hound Blog. Conte's compilation sourced from his extensive collection of 78 rpms, featured a blend of mostly South African rock-derived kwela and jive, from 1950 to 1962. His cassette included four tracks by the Bogard Brothers, three of which can be found on this EP including the title track Flying Rock. Conte also included their raucous interpretation of Buddy Holly's That Will Be the Day on the cassette. Sadly that tune is absent from this EP which makes me wonder if his four tracks may have been sourced from the original 78 rpms. Oh, She's There is the track included on this EP that is absent from his cassette.
Coming out of Rupert Bopape's stable at EMI, the Bogard Brothers appear to be a quartet from Alexandra Township in Johannesburg. Three of the tracks are penned by Finish Mohamed and the fourth by Lawrence Motau, while the first also credits Isaac Nkosi (surely not Zacks) and Rupert Bopape. In the track That Will be the Day, the vocalist calls out to the other band members as "Finish, Tiny and Joey". Interestingly, Conte in his liner notes suggests that it is Finish Mohamed leading Black Mambazo on their track After Muchacha. Black Mambazo (not LBM) also hailed from Alexandra.
Stylistically, while rock was marginally adopted by some black musicians in South Africa in the late 1950s, the principle focus was on jazz, jive and (that short-lived commercial competitor to rock) kwela. Reasons for this are well outlined in Charles Hamm's essay "Rock 'n Roll in a Very Strange Society" in his book Putting Popular Music in its Place. According to Hamm, while executives at record companies in South Africa made a decision in the mid 1950s to market rock 'n roll to the black population through a sampling of international hits on 78 rpm, they failed to included any by black artists: Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino and so on. White artists such as Bill Haley, Elvis Presley, Pat Boone were widely available, adopted, collected and reviewed in the black press.
"Though Todd Matshikiza reported in his review of "Rock Around the Clock" (Drum, July 1956) that 'nobody has done the rock around here yet', within a matter of months various non-white South Africans were emulating this music. Many new releases by local performers were identified, in advertisements or reviews, as being examples of indigenous rock 'n roll." (Hamm)
Hamm goes on to explain that by 1958 many blacks were turning away from rock 'n roll just as it was peaking for whites. "The black press rarely reviewed rock 'n roll discs after 1957, and mostly to make disparaging comments." In many respects, Hamm suggests, rock in South Africa became identified as a "white" music. "By contrast, five years later when the twist came to South Africa, it was identified from the beginning with Chubby Checker and quickly became immensely popular amongst blacks". (Hamm)
Interestingly 1958 also happened to be the same year that Spokes Mashiyane exchanged his flute for a saxophone in recording the hit Big Joe Special which introduced the ever popular sax-jive. Which leads to Hamm's third point and main thesis in that, in his view, it is mbaqanga that becomes the dominant style in the 1960s and in many ways became an equivalent for rock 'n roll within the black community. (Hamm)
Perhaps this might partially explain the use of the term "jazz" in the EP title "Street Corner Jazz" rather than rock...?
Hamm, in his many examples of black South African artists adopting rock elements, does mention a 78 rpm recording by the Bogard Brothers, Red River Rock (JP 669) which I estimate was issued in 1961. To my ear, the style of rock on Street Corner Jazz sounds like it comes from the late 1950s, but my sense is that the EP was issued somewhere around 1961 or 1962.

Ndamukong Suh: I can't be friends with a quarterback
Dave Birkett and Carlos Monarrez
Ndamukong Suh and Aaron Rodgers got to know each other at a football camp last summer
Suh said he likes Rodgers%2C but added%3A %22I don%27t think I%27ll ever be able to have a friend as a quarterback%22
Said Rodgers%3A %22I think he needs to expand his mind a little bit%2C kind of branch out%22
DETROIT -- Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers got to know each other better at a youth football camp this summer in Oregon.
Are they best friends forever now?
Did they exchange half-heart pendants?
"Well, I haven't gotten any calls from him yet," Rodgers told reporters during a conference call Wednesday. "Not sure if there's going to be some sort of exchange of numbers at some point."
Suh said a budding friendship might be out of the question, even though he likes and respects Rodgers.
"I don't think I'll ever be able to have a friend as a quarterback, especially one I see twice a year," he said. "But without question, off the field, he's good people, and I definitely enjoyed being around him."
When Rodgers was told he might never make Suh's BFF list, he shot back with a joking — or maybe not so joking — response.
"I think he needs to expand his mind a little bit, kind of branch out," Rodgers said. "Does that mean that he's not buddies with Matt (Stafford)? Or Shaun (Hill)? Or Kellen (Moore)? I'm being sarcastic."
It's clear both players are competitive and admire each other's ability. Rodgers called Suh an "elite player." Suh said Rodgers was among the NFL's top quarterbacks, although he would not rank him.
"He's definitely up there, without question," Suh said. "I haven't had the time or (haven't taken) the time to rate my quarterbacks. I just look forward to taking them down."
Birkett and Monarrez cover the Lions for the Detroit Free Press, a Gannett property.

Oh yeah, ain't that the truth. AKA "who do you think you are? Evel Knievel? Yes, I had fun with this one and got to play along with a few more challenges. Today's LOAD prompt is to make your own embellishment. I did not play along with this prompt today. Short on time and needed to use it wisely.
But the ideas for this age come from 123 Get Scrappy and My Scraps & More. The item I used from the board at 123 Get Scrappy are balck background, polka dots and more than 2 clusters. The title is from My Scraps & More.
Oh this title is perfect and the bold papers as well. They kind of add to the chaos of the photos. I haven't done a page like this in a while, but I was determined to use the photos I had, with out resizing and reprinting them. I did start with balk cardstock, but covered most of it in patterned paper. There are lots of polka dots and I did create 3 small clusters around the edge of the page. It was fun just putting random items together to create a cohesive cluster.
Great LO!!Thanks for joining us @ 123 Get Scrappy.
Love this layout! The combination of patterned papers and the darling title are wonderful together. Great job.
Great layout and fun pictures.
Beautifully done, thanks for joining us at 123 Get Scrappy!
Very cool layout! Thanks for joining us over at 123 Get Scrappy!

Adam Emery
Did convicted murderer Adam Emery jump to a watery grave?
Suspect:
The Newport Bridge stands a majestic 219 feet above the Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island. But on the evening of November 10, 1993, the bridge was the scene of a sobering discovery, the latest twist in one of the state's most sensational murder cases.
Adam and Elena Emery
Shortly before 7:00 PM, a bridge supervisor and a state trooper investigated an empty car that was blocking one of the westbound lanes. The engine was running and the headlights were on. On the back seat were several articles of clothing, neatly folded. Up front, there was cash, cut up credit cards, and a driver's license.
Robert Moorehead was the bridge supervisor on duty that evening:
"When I first got up there, I thought it was an abandoned car. He checked the car and… that's when we knew… it's the Emery's car."
Most anyone in Rhode Island would have recognized the name Emery. That very day, Adam Emery, the car's owner, had been convicted of murder. Though he was free on bail, Emery faced 20 years to life in the state penitentiary. Now it appeared that Adam and his wife, Elena, had found a way out of their impeding separation–by jumping to their deaths off the Newport Bridge.
Newport Bridge, Rhode Island
The apparent double suicide of Adam and Elena was shocking news. But soon authorities began to suspect that the Emerys were in fact, alive. They believed the abandoned car was just the final touch in a well-planned escape to freedom.
It all began three years earlier, on August 30, 1990. Adam Emery, his wife Elena, and another couple stopped for dinner at a local seafood stand. It was just before 9:00 PM when a car whizzed by and sideswiped Adam's car. The car then sped away and disappeared around a corner.
Reporter Elizabeth Rau covered the Emery trial for the Providence Journal :
"Adam Emery headed out, and he saw a car way off in the distance, and his wife yelled out, 'That's the car, let's chase them.'"
The car they were chasing was driven by 20-year-old Jason Bass. His cousin, Joshua Post, was in the car with him:
"He got out of his car, yelling and screaming that, 'We'll kick your butt! I'm gonna kill you!' Major fighting words. Unbelievably, this guy was so mad and I've never seen anybody madder than this."
Adam and Elena after the trial
It was at that moment that Adam pulled out a knife and jumped on the hood of Jason's car. While clinging to the car, Adam began to slash at Jason with the knife. Jason put the car in reverse and attempted to flee, but it was too late. He was stabbed once through the heart and died instantly. Neighbors rushed out to help. They were soon joined by Kevin Hopkins, an off-duty detective for the Rhode Island State Police who lived just down the street:
"When I arrived, the whole air about the scene was very spooky. It had a haze, and it was a warm summer night and it just had a spooky eerie feeling about what I was going into. And I pulled up, thinking that it was just a motor vehicle accident."
The tragedy of Jason's death was compounded by the facts that soon emerged. According to Detective Hopkins, Jason never so much as touched Adam Emery's car:
"The Ford LTD that was being driven by Jason Bass was not the vehicle that hit Adam Emery's car. They took paint chips off of Adam's car and they tested those paint chips with the… paint of Jason Bass's car, and proved conclusively that it was a different vehicle that struck Adam Emery's car that evening."
An extensive search was conducted
Those who knew Adam were stunned by the turn of events. He had never been in trouble with the law. Now, Adam Emery stood accused of second-degree murder. Reporter Elizabeth Rau was in attendance at Adam Emery's trial:
"Adam Emery's testimony was very rigid. He never expressed any remorse for killing someone. He said that he stabbed Jason Bass in self-defense."
The trial ended on November 10 th , Adam Emery's 31 st birthday. Adam Emery was found guilty of second degree murder. The judge allowed him to remain free on bail pending formal sentencing a month later. But by nightfall, Adam and Elena were dead. Or so it seemed. After the police found the car, they began to reconstruct the events leading up to the apparent double suicide.
At 3:00 PM, Adam left the courthouse with Elena. A half hour later, the Emerys showed up at a local sporting goods store. Joel Smith, the store's manager, was working that day:
"Elena was far from nervous. She'd smile, she was talkative, it didn't seem like there was anything on her mind or she had anything planned."
The Emery's bought sweatsuits, athletic socks, and 80 pounds of strap-on exercise weights. But curiously, the salesman reported that Adam was disturbed by the total bill. To police, saving money seemed an unlikely concern for someone about to take his own life.
An hour later, at 4:45 PM, Adam and Elena pulled up at the Newport Bridge. The previous hour, they had been observed, calmly dining at a fast food restaurant, which also seemed out of character for a couple bent on suicide. At 4:50 PM, eye-witnesses recalled seeing the Emerys on the walkway of the bridge. By 5:15, Adam and Elena had driven away. Two hours later, their car was found back on the Newport bridge. Apparently the Emerys had returned to the bridge, but what happened then is still a mystery.
The search for the bodies of Adam and Elena Emery was one of the most extensive in the history of Rhode Island. In the end, not a single scrap of evidence was recovered from the bay. Then, Detective Hopkins remembered a taped conversation Adam and Elena were having in the courtroom following Adam's guilty verdict:
"I obtained that tape, and I took it to a… person who was hearing impaired. One of her means of communication is to read people's lips, and I asked her if she could interpret the conversation that was being held between Adam and Elena Emery."
Hours of replaying the tape finally revealed Elena's words. According to the lip reader, Elena told Adam, "We're gonna do what we originally said you promised me." Clearly, the Emerys had a plan … but was it a desperate suicide pact or a bold scheme to fool the authorities and run away?
Months after the Emerys disappeared, a fisherman working in the bay found two human leg bones in his net. Clinging to one was a fragment of a sock that was identical to those purchased by Adam and Elena. Authorities compared the DNA sample from the bone with DNA samples of both Elena's mother and sister. It was a match.
Then a few weeks later, Detective Hopkins responded to an urgent call from the harbor. Narragansett Bay had given up another grim piece of evidence. A skull recovered from the east passage of the bay was positively identified as that of Elena Emery. Elena had at last been found. But to date, there's been no trace of Adam. Perhaps, his bones are deep in Narragansett Bay. Or perhaps, the day will come when Adam Emery turns up alive.
Officially, the case is still open. Reliable sources say there's no reason to believe Adam Emery ever committed suicide.
Watch this case now on Amazon Prime in season seven with Robert Stack and in season three with Dennis Farina. Also available on YouTube with Dennis Farina. Various seasons available now on Hulu.
Glad the FBI got involved. The local DA was going easy on them. You know how it is. Hope they did their duty and confiscated the bail houses
Bill Blask
I understand the FBI said there was a serious update in the case. They also said he'd be caught in 5yrs? Anyone know what the update was?

Nearly 25 Years Ago Morgan Nick, described as having a big Heart with a fire of conviction and Loved Cats She had a Cat Named Emily She set her heart on that Cat and it slept in Her bed every night, She rescued the Little Kitten from Sebastian county Humane society, when She was 5 in October 1994, She took one look around around the cat room and picked out the ugliest, scrawniest, most pitiful looking kitten in the entire place. Such a tiny little thing that it was mostly all eyes and declared that was Her Cat and a day later Morgan got Her Kitten, Where Morgan gets used to, Emily gets used to. They played together. They ate together. They watched Barney together. They slept together Morgan cherished Emily for nearly two years before she was kidnapped. After that day Emily would not rest at night. For weeks and weeks she wandered through our house, crying out, looking for Morgan. It was heartbreaking to watch her kitten grieving. Finally, one night, Emily came into Colleen's room and nestled up on my left shoulder and went to sleep and She did that ever since until She passed away
She was only 6 Years Old when She was cruelly ripped away from Her Family while She was catching Fireflies with 2 Older Friends, at an Alma ball park in Alma, Arkansas on June 9th 1995
Morgan went with Her Mom and their Friends to watch their Friends Child play in a little league baseball game in Alma Arkansas, a small town 30 minutes away from where they lived in Ozark, Arkansas
The Little league game started late around 9pm and Morgan sat with Her Mom Colleen the entire game, At around 10:30 p.m., Morgan asked Her Mother if She could catch Fireflies with Her 2 Older Friends at first Morgans Mother wasn't sure but Her Moms Friend said that it was safe and Children played their all the time so She let Morgan go it was only a few ft away
Morgans Mom recalls Her Daughter "throwing Her arms around Her neck in a Bear Hug and planted a Kiss on Her cheek and ran to catch fireflies with Her friends" that's the last time She saw Her Daughter Morgan, She was last seen by Her Friends at 10:45pm emptying sand out of Her shoes near Her Mother's car
Morgans Friends that were playing with Her separately told the police about seeing a creepy man with a red pick-up truck and a white camper shell on the back, talking to Morgan. Police have never identified the man despite thousands of leads
He was described as white, 6 feet tall, with a mustache and a beard. He was believed to be between 23 to 38 years old although police believe he could of been younger police suspect he's a loner by nature and probably doesn't have alot of friends or family and probably never told anyone
Within minutes, a bystander called police to report Morgan missing and authorities arived at the scene six minutes later,
Authorities launched their investigation immediately reaching out for help from local agencies, the state police, the FBI, The FBI brought in lots of extra people and resources they did not have, like a computer system that could handle this kind of case in 1995 which helped tremendously
Police even turned a courtroom into a call center for all the tips that were pouring in that night. The FBI brought a mobile command center to the courthouse parking lot. The volunteer fire station was across the street, and Colleen said she and her family moved in there for six weeks and it became the volunteer headquarters, Friends and Family and Volunteers conducted grid searches, investigators gathered home videos from the surrounding areas to search for vehicles matching the description the kids at the ball game had given
Authorities also collected bottles, cigarette butts and other various items from the ball fields, they have tons of DNA but don't know if they match their suspect, they've had dozen of leads and continue to get leads on Morgans Case today, but She hasn't been found
In Alma police station theirs a room dedicated to Morgan Nicks Case

Why do you uaeblack lettering on a black background? I can't read any of the comments?? Lol great idea!
I'm wondering why he bothered purchasing wetsuits? Perhaps, if he had never done any scuba before, he may not have realized that neoprene is very buoyant. One of the main reasons divers have to wear weight belts is to counteract the buoyancy of the wetsuit. If you're planning to die (drown) you would not wish to be buoyant, nor would you need to be protected from the cold water, thus making the wetsuit superfluous. The weights would have been sufficient.
Perhaps they didn't wish to be uncomfortable in their last moments. I mean that sincerely. Perhaps they thought the wetsuits would give them a small amount of protection or comfort in their final moments. Who can know what someone thinks when contemplating his own death?
However, I wonder if maybe he bought the weights for his wife (intending to kill her) and the wetsuit for himself as a way for him to make a long swim without suffering hypothermia in the November water temps. If he survived the jump, it would have been dark enough at that time of year (especially if the wetsuits were a dark color) for him to swim quite a long way without being seen.

I believe Adam jumped as well. It's not easy to go this long without slipping up. Very interesting how they brought in the girl who read lips. That alone tells me they both jumped.
Agreed. The whole "cut-up credit cards in car, Yet-leaving cash" in the car on the Bridge "Before jumping" is such a bogus touch…. But Unfortunately, Elena was the instigator in this case & Dealing with That remorse as well as the pain of losing her husband to prison had her obviously very distraught. I hope Adam is found , in any way. This victims family is getting no justice at all.

I also believe Adam pushed his wife off the bridge and either walked away after he pushed his wife or was picked up by a friend. I also believe he had this planned out for awhile, in hopes of people would see them in the sporting good store buying the weights. Adam was hoping bones would be found and they would declare him dead. He's alive and got away with murder. He's in a country with no extradition treaty with the U.S. This guy is still alive living it up while his wife is dead.

There's No Way He Had Jumped Off And Had Committed Suicide He's Out The Some Where Seeing Himself On The FBI Top 10 Most Wanted List!
This entire incident never would have happened if not for that hit and run driver who sideswiped the Emery's car at Rocky Point, and took off. That person is still living his life. I hope that person at least has lost sleep over it. Did they ever locate that driver? I have not even heard that part of the story since the day after it happened.
Adam is in Italy….
UnsolvedHistory
So sad and he's not dead he pushed her off and killed her cause he knows that obviously the cops are gonna look for bones and so forth so he pushed her off and took off and is probably in Mexico or something
I think Adam could still be alive. They searched that bay thoroughly. My guess Adam had second thoughts about the suicide pact and was picked up by a driver or a friend. Don't see why the wife would kill herself when Adam one going to jail. There was cash and credit cards in the car on the bridge. This Adam seems to have a hot temper. That could help police catch him if he's in Maine or Canada. Adam would be around 53 if he engineered the disappearance. I think this will be a case that is solved soon through skeletal remains in the Bay or Capture.
He must've threw her off the bridge. Why would he kill her? Why couldn't he go on the run with his wife? He must be hiding in Canada or somewhere else. Have one of you seen this man before?
He's alive and well and is in Canada too
There are one of two theories. One they planned a false suicide; they both decided OK let's do it.. He at the last minute changed his mind and let his wife drowed.. A little far fetched… Two they really did it only his bones are deep in there never to be find… Two things bother me one why argue over the price in the sporting goods store if your going commit suicide. Second why leave all your items in the car money; cut up credit cards; clothes; leaving the engine on. If this was planned why did you care at all to leave anything. Double suicide strange.. He was going to prison not her so why say honey the only way out is kill ourselves. More strange. Unless she felt guilty; she did in fact tell her husband to chase the car. Why didn't they just write down the license plate like normal people instead going psycho. Feel bad for the kid that died.. Shouldn't have happened. Sick couple… They will never find that guy he probably drowned in the water too.

A judge declared Adam Emery dead in 2004, but in 2010 the FBI placed Emery on their list of wanted criminals in 2010.

How can I get the actual program
Hi Allan – the show is currently airing on Lifetime (http://bit.ly/1kUd5Fb) and Escape (http://bit.ly/ZsbEHC).


Broadband There's a truly idiot article in US News claiming the current bandwidth glut will become an acute shortage, which ended up on Slashdot. It gets both the technology and economics wrong. All the sunk fiber will be lit once it's economically feasible to light it. Lighting fiber has higher fixed cost per pair than sinking it, but lower total capital outlay.
Just for fun I think this is just hilarious.


On Tuesday night, like many Americans, I watched some of the coverage of the election returns, with a combination of despair at how divisive the dialog around our differences is, and hope that we might find a path to conversation and greater unity. I've always believed that all humans, even coming from drastically different cultural, political, religious and economic places, have much more in common than not. But sadly, we prove easily distracted from that fact by leaders who choose the shortcut to power found in dividing us from each other.
Searching for my rose colored glasses, perhaps you're not surprised that I keep coming back to music. I admire the composers of the past who continued to practice their art through the wars, political and theological divisions that fractured people and countries. There was beauty to be made, the mystery of God to express. Music, with its many independent yet harmonious voices, models for how we too could get along, work together, collaborate to form a cohesive whole. At GPC every week, we have the unique privilege to do just that, to cut through the chaotic noise of division with the even more powerful music of unity.

NASA's InSight Mars lander bounces back from dust storm, but its days are numbered
SNN February 17, 2022 2 min read
Dust has been building up on NASA's InSight Mars lander, as shown by this photo taken by the spacecraft's Instrument Deployment Camera on Feb. 13, 2022. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)
InSight may not be able to collect science data beyond this summer, thanks to long-term dust buildup on its solar panels.
NASA's InSight Mars lander has shaken off the effects of a recent dust storm, likely allowing the spacecraft to collect science data for a few more months.
InSight went into a protective safe mode on Jan. 7, temporarily shutting down its instruments after a huge dust storm prevented the solar-powered lander from soaking up enough sunlight. The spacecraft emerged from safe mode on Jan. 19, and things are now getting back to normal.
"Several weeks after the end of a dust storm on Mars, the solar panels of NASA's InSight lander are producing almost as much power as they did before the storm," NASA officials wrote in an update on Tuesday (Feb. 15)
This is probably just a temporary reprieve, however, for InSight is losing its battle with dust over the long haul. Indeed, the newly regained power level should let the lander continue science work just "into the summer," the update states.
InSight ("Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport") touched down near the Martian equator in November 2018, on a mission to help scientists understand the planet's interior structure and composition like never before. The lander has been doing this primarily by detecting and characterizing marsquakes.
Mission team members are also using InSight's communications gear to precisely track the wobble of Mars' axis of rotation, which yields information about the planet's core. InSight carries a burrowing heat probe as well, but the little digger failed to get deep enough on Mars to return the desired heat-flow data.
InSight's primary mission lasted one Mars year, which is about 687 Earth days. The lander is currently operating during an extended mission, which is funded through the end of the year. InSight team members will try to get the lander through that finish line, though success is far from guaranteed.
"Having completed all primary mission science objectives, the goal now is to enable the spacecraft to operate through the end of its extended mission in December," Tuesday's update states. "A passing whirlwind that removes dust or a new dust storm that increases the dust accumulation could alter the timeline."

Hillary Mantel Explains Thomas Cromwell's Rise
One of the difficult things for us moderns to understand about the past is the centrality of inherited status, which sometimes seems to determine everything; but on the other hand the way some men rose from humble beginnings to the heights of power, without that every undermining the fundamentally hereditary nature of the system.
The best book I know for understanding how this worked is Hillary Mantel's trilogy on Thomas Cromwell. Read them, and you will learn more about the interlocking workings of birth, patronage, ability, effort, and status than you could from a stack of worthy books on Tudor governance.
The first point is that the only way for a humble person to rise in an aristocracy was through patronage. To rise, you had to be lifted up from above. You had to serve. And this service was not to an abstraction like the state or the church, but to some particular person, some patron who would recognize your efforts and reward them. To rise, you became the man of another man.
Thomas Cromwell rose in England as the man of Cardinal Wolsey, the chief minister of Henry VIII's early years on the throne. He dedicated himself completely to the Cardinal's service, faithfully executing every command, taking the Cardinal's part in every quarrel. This meant he was hardly every home, but was constantly waiting on the Cardinal, or doing his business from one end of England to the other. One reason why the great wanted servants of humble background was that men of high birth were less willing to be at a lord's beck and call; they had their pride to consider, and their own lands and households to look after. A nobody like Cromwell could render service a lordling could not, especially if he had Cromwell'a astonishing work ethic.
To be a great man in such a society, a lord needed followers. Some might come to him by old family connections, but others he must find and promote. A powerful minister like the Cardinal needed many assistants, and his own rise or fall would be determined partly by the work they produced. A great lord therefore needed to be as much as anything a judge of talent. Wolsey was in this superb; many of the great men of Tudor England started in his household, chosen and trained by him: Cromwell, Thomas More, Stephen Gardiner, and many more. Cromwell eventually became a great man partly because he also excelled at this; of the young men he brought into his household, who figure as key character's in Mantel's story, two eventually became Chancellors of England and another the Lord Privy Seal.
Notice what happened to the Cardinal's men after his fall from power and death. The Cardinal's enemies did not scorn them because of their association with the Cardinal, but recognized that they had been simply the Cardinal's servants, not at all responsible for the Cardinal's policy. Those that were known as the ablest and most loyal were scooped up by other lords, and the most impressive (Cromwell, More, Gardiner) were taken on by the King. The same happened to Cromwell's men after he fell. To rule required able men to do the hard work of governing, and men who would and could were valuable no matter their backgrounds.
But power, of which Cromwell eventually accumulated a great deal, was not the same thing as high birth. The great hereditary lords never liked Cromwell, and let him know it; they scorned him for an upstart. Hillary Mantell's Cromwell feels keenly his ambiguous status. On the one hand he strives to imitate the old lords, for example building up a fine stable of hunting horses and hounds even though he very rarely hunted. His greed for land was famous. On the other hand he did not pursue certain other lordly activities, most notably war; when it threatened he stayed in London raising the money while lords of old chivalric families led the troops. He had more exalted hopes for his son Gregory. The son was raised to chivalry rather than business, and studied jousting and French rather than accounting. Indeed the son was so successful at becoming a much admired knight that when his father was beheaded he was spared and eventually made the first Baron Cromwell, starting a long line.
This was a major part of what power meant, in that world: being able to choose the best servants and raise them up. To reward them with money and land, to defend them against enemies, to direct their efforts. But never, ever regarding them as your equals.

Laurie, life, etc...: Bloglovin' followers are they really there? A call to action!
Bloglovin' followers are they really there? A call to action!
I started this blog not long ago, the blog is new, but I am myself am not new to blogging, I been around for like two years now and I have learned a lot. I don't know why, but my following has always grown, I dunno if people are really interested in what I have to say, because this blog honestly had no niche, its mostly speaking my mind on what ever I feel needs to be said, so I am somewhat confused.
My first blog Themakeupsquid.com grew in all areas, quickly too. I jumped on the Follow for follow band wagon and my Bloglovin' feed became a mess, mixed with follow for follows as well as blogs I actually read. So I decided to put the blogs I actually read in a section I call favs, these are personal bloggers I grew to know and love, we all kinda started at the same time.
Blogging about anything has become so saturated today, so it can be hard to know if your followers are there for their own motives or are they truly interested in what you have to say.
A call to action has become a known phrase among bloggers, it means that somewhere usually at the end of a post you ask your audience to answer a question, sign up for something or any other thing you would like them to do.
I have been writing posts with no call to action anywhere in them and I noticed that the one post I did place a call to action in, I got a responce.
Your readers want to interact with you, sure you may have a great post and people enjoy it, but if you leave them with nothing to do at the end, they are going to either click our of your blog or hop on to something else.
Asking a question relevant to your post will engage your audience.
Don't make this a general boring question, like "Which do you prefer?" or "How do you feel about such and such?" What the hell is that, I might as well write my own post.
I really hate when I don't know where the question marks goes.
talk to your audience like your talking to a friend or someone you just met, not a random person on the street, that's awkward and just weird.
I am going to create a simple call to action follow button that I am going to place at the bottom of my posts, I am also going to make this the default signature on my blog, so that it is automatically there at the end of every post.
Step 1. Get your button.
You could make one yourself or get yours from bloglovin' itself.
Go into your bloglovin' profile under the little blue heart icon, click down to the bloglovin button section, this will take you to a page that has button options for you, now you can get the button counter with the counter on there, but I am going to suggest the simple follow on bloglovin' button, why? Because I just feel its saying I am new to this and have no idea what I am doing, so come join my 55 followers, so no this isn't for me. You can change this at anytime once your numbers get into the three digits, it just looks better.
Step 2. Copy your code.
Once you have chosen the style you like, click the get code button and a pop up will appear with the code, now you can do the add widget thingy through blogger or whatever your using, but where I want to place this code, I am going to have to copy it, so right click that baby like you mean it.
Step 3. Paste your code.
I use blogger as my blogging platform, but I am sure the others has the same option or feature.
Go into your post template and paste your code there. You can add a phrase or other links that you want to appear at the end of every post.
This is a great and easy call to action and it has great results, enjoy.
From March 15th - April 13th I gained 55 followers on Bloglovin'. Now just because I gained these followers, that doesn't mean they are actually reading my posts.
My page views for all time since I started this blog are at 390.
My best post is My Personal Disclaimer, with 33 views.
I don't think this is bad for less than 30 days.
Do you think bloglovin' actually helps your blog grow?


Legend has it that if you throw a frog into boiling water, it will jump straight out. However, if you put a frog into cold water and gradually increase the heat then it will boil alive without knowing it. For those out there who need everything to be evidence informed I must confess that I don't have any research to hand which will back up my claim, I myself am happy to accept this analogy though.
I first came across this way of thinking when I worked in the NHS. I was part of a team of people who were tasked to roll out a national project and we were told to treat staff like the frogs, roll out the project in such a way that they didn't notice the change. Some changes in the NHS have been good ones, as have some in education. However a number of initiatives brought in to support our public services seemed like a good idea at the time but have created a learned helplessness within our professions.
Recently, I attended a session delivered by Daisy Christodoulou recently on comparative judgement and its use in education. What struck me most was the spectrum of responses to this way of assessment. When I began to consider the demographic of the room I realised that the majority of people there had experienced only National Curriculum levels and GCSE grade descriptors, both as teachers and students themselves. When asked to compare one piece of work against another, teachers looked for the safety of grade descriptors and rubrics. Comparative judgement is not about categories or pigeon holes, it's simply about professional understanding and the effective application of subject expertise. Once teachers set about completing the exercise Daisy had set it within a couple of minutes they were feeling more comfortable with their judgements. There was a sense of empowerment in the room, it was liberating.
I've found that the initial anxiety of the teachers at the beginning of Daisy's session is much more indicative of the bigger picture for assessment across education, often without the reassuring atmosphere that professional development events like No More Marking deliver. Teachers can feel very isolated and in a situation where they are consciously incompetent. Worse still, there are teachers and schools who are unconsciously incompetent because they don't know what they don't know. They don't feel confident assessing students' learning and communication of their subject without a tick-box or a data tracking grid. Why? Simply because we are in a situation where we don't know any different. The National Curriculum was introduced following the Education Reform act in 1988 and students were first formally assessed on its content in 1991. Since this time there has been a descriptor or level apportioned to everything teachers do. Schools like ours rejoiced at the removal of levels because we felt that we were being trusted to assess our students using our professional judgement and that we were empowering our teachers as experts. However, this wasn't the case for everyone. Over the last few years we've seen levels replaced by descriptors or words which again have no tangible meaning to them and give no insight into what a student knows or doesn't know. Assessment is just one of many aspects of education where we have developed a learned helplessness, something which needs addressing with an intelligent and stealthy approach.
How can we redress the balance?
When head teachers are asked by governing bodies, LAs or trust boards to set targets for the school there is an enormous amount of pressure to set unrealistic and unachievable markers, which in turn cascades onto staff – turning the focus away from teaching. The best head teachers will be brave and only agree to targets which are reasonable and promote a sustainable improvement. On a similar point, there is a tendency from some head teachers to move from one initiative to the next. If the environment is one of constant change, teachers can't keep up, practices never get embedded and professionals can't take responsibility for their own teaching.
The importance of acknowledging teachers' ability to apply their professional knowledge is vital for any SLT. When individual responsibility is taken away by enforcing systemic procedures and practices that don't add value the damage done can be catastrophic. Often these are to make monitoring and box ticking easier. This approach diminishes professional curiousity and impacts on a teacher's desire to keep learning about their passions. Furthermore, it develops a sense of relinquishing personal responsibility. Leadership teams need to lead, set out expectations, accept that there are many ways to meet those expectations and facilitate teachers in their efforts to achieve them.
This ties in with my previous point. If you ask a teacher what they need to develop the majority will be able to tell you. The minority that don't know would benefit from a developmental conversation. Trying to apply a one size fits all attitude to CPD can be detrimental to the development of more (and less) experienced staff, as can prioritising generic professional learning at the cost of subject specific enhancement. Having an annual INSET session on generic questioning skills is useless if a teacher doesn't hold the domain specific knowledge to know which questions to ask. Leadership teams should also encourage further scholarship in their staff as well as this perpetuates the love of learning whilst keeping teachers at the top of their intellectual game so to speak.
This is not about showboating or creating an environment where you can't leave until the head teacher does. Equally it's not about those who pay lip service to a work life balance. As senior leaders it is our job to facilitate teaching and learning at its very best. We must work hard quietly behind the scenes to enable that to happen. To make it easier for teachers takes a significant amount of effort from us. Encouraging departments to mark in the most effective way for them or record the data that gives the most useful insight to their students' learning and needs will produce a spectrum of information, it is the role of SLT to make sense of it whilst quality assuring that what's happening in classes. In my experience, a procedure put in place to make monitoring easier very rarely improves the quality of first wave teaching.
Will we ever achieve perfection?
The reality is that we are never going to get to a perfect situation where students and teachers alike all assume the level of personal responsibility for their own learning and practice. Why? Simply because humans are beautifully flawed, we're all different and we all have different perceptions of excellence and expectation. Good leadership teams will recognise this and work hard to communicate their expectations to the people within their communities. They will focus on empowering staff and students, recognising potential and supporting the efforts of individuals to improve. Brave leaders will have conversations and invest time working with adults and students who are struggling to enhance their own personal development rather than giving out blanket messages and INSET that are wasted on the many. Above all, they are discerning in what they choose to ask teachers to do – considering whether the impact is worth the effort of their staff. All of this takes huge effort in the first instance and a relentless commitment to continuous refinement of practices – tweaking not transforming. The question is this, are we as leaders willing to put in the effort needed or are we going to take the easy option of line of least resistance then complain about how incompetent everyone else is?
I think he had a point.

Turning a moment into a movement after the deaths of unarmed black men

In the months following the shooting death of Michael Brown, Tony Rice quit his job to lead nightly protests in Ferguson, Mo. But after a grand jury decided in November not to indict the officer who shot Brown, Rice said, "we just woke up one morning and no one was out there protesting."
That hasn't deterred Rice. As the nation's attention has turned elsewhere, he and fellow activists have switched up their tactics, slowing down and digging in, trying to nurture a nascent civil rights movement by shifting to local issues and a broader critique of American society.
The deadly confrontations in Ferguson; in Cleveland, where police shot and killed a 12-year-old boy who was playing with a pellet gun; and in New York, where police choked and killed a man who was selling loose cigarettes on the sidewalk, prompted young people to take to social media and the streets to express outrage and demand change.
The unrest generated by the deaths of Brown in Ferguson, Tamir Rice in Cleveland and Eric Garner in Staten Island may eventually become the first scene in a stirring saga of how a moment builds into a movement. Or it could end up as a cautionary tale about how a righteous activism born of traumatic incidents fizzles, the energy of dozens of new activist groups sapped by quotidian realities and the shortened attention spans of a society that expresses its political passions in Likes and tweets.
"To go from protesting to power, you need demonstrations, legislation and litigation," said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the veteran civil rights leader who has acted in recent months as an informal adviser and cheerleader for several new groups. "Sprinters burn out real fast. These young people need to be in it for the long run. And it must be an intergenerational coalition. A movement that's mature requires clergy and lawyers and legislators. The struggle is never a one-string guitar."
The new activists are still trying to tune their instrument. They are still figuring out whether to hew to local issues or go national. For the most part, the young protesters haven't connected with elders such as Jackson or the Rev. Al Sharpton. They have uneasy relationships not only with civil rights fighters of generations past, but also with the black mayors and police chiefs who owe their own positions to the successes of that earlier activism.
All that adds up to a fractured puzzle composed of idealistic young activists who believe ordinary people can band together to make black lives matter more, but who haven't yet figured out how to boost their generation into action.
In Ferguson, some activists moved from street actions to events such as "Books and Breakfast," a giveaway featuring books such as "The New Jim Crow" and "I Love My Hair!" and free yogurt parfaits. One recent day, only a few dozen people stopped by, mostly familiar faces of hard-core activists.
Nonetheless, they talked about marching at a local high school where white students had said disparaging things about black protesters. The meeting ended with pleas from organizers to hug someone in the room and take another look at the books, half of which were left unclaimed.

Two days before the book event in Ferguson, the roads were slick in Cleveland, with heavy snow falling, as about a dozen activists gathered at the Unitarian Universalist Society in Cleveland Heights — a racially and economically mixed suburb up the hill from downtown.
The meeting, called by a local activist group called Puncture the Silence, was an effort to press beyond the squabbles and rivalries that have plagued the protest groups that emerged after the Rice shooting. Although protests have continued almost weekly in Cleveland through a harsh winter, the wait to hear whether the officers involved in the shooting will face criminal charges has left many activists frustrated, splintered by arguments over strategy, objectives and media posture.
[Related videos: Ferguson, six months later]
Some want more marches, sit-ins and disruptive protests. Others propose to stage a tribunal, rendering an extrajudicial verdict in several cases of police use of force. Still others want a focus on policy, but what should they demand? Body cameras? Special prosecutors? Police training? Collective bargaining?
"We need to keep the direct pressure on elected officials, but we also need to stay active in the streets," Rachelle Smith, 31, who has been a key player among Cleveland's young protest groups since the Rice shooting, told the group.
The next move after expressing anger in the street is often the hard part for new civil rights groups. Do they seek changes in the law? Push to elect sympathetic candidates? Focus on winning over those who aren't yet on their side? Or pull back from the moment and get radical, pressing for wholesale social change?
In Ferguson, many of the more than a dozen organizations that formed in the tear-gas clouds of August fragmented over the course of the fall. Conflicts flared over organizers who spent much of their time honing their profile on Twitter and attending an endless series of conferences on activism. Members of some new groups grumbled about leaders who seemed more interested in scoring airtime with Don Lemon on CNN or winning donations from wealthy celebrities than about recruiting poor people to their cause.
On the night of the grand jury's decision not to indict Officer Darren Wilson in the Brown shooting, Tory Russell and other members of a new civil rights group called Hands Up United knew one thing they had to do: Race to their office to fend off vandals and prevent violence.
Today, six buildings across from the group's original office remain boarded up. The Metro PCS shop is a blackened heap; a steel bar bears a slogan written in rust: "America Wake Up!"

Hands Up United has moved to a new location but isn't going away, said Russell, a burly man with a thick beard who wears his devotion to the movement on a T-shirt emblazoned with the first names of young African Americans whose deaths have fueled this fight — Trayvon, Mike, Eric . . .
By the time Brown was killed, Russell, 30, had already dropped his plan to become a teacher — a dream he traces to his days in the library at Sumner High School in St. Louis, alma mater of Chuck Berry and Tina Turner. Today, Russell views his old school as dominated more by in-school suspension than reading books, so he has focused his political work on distributing books on black history and radical politics.
He sees a surer path to change at the neighborhood level than in any effort to win nationwide notice. "And now the real work begins," Russell said. "You can complain about the system being bad and how it affects the community. But if your room is dirty, you're going to have to pick up the clothes and wash the dishes. And that's what we're doing."
Hands Up's leaders haven't lost sight of the issue of police brutality: "We still believe the ultimate piece of the narrative is that unarmed people are being killed by police," said Tef Poe, 27, a rapper from St. Louis who started the group with Russell.
But since the TV cameras left town, the heady camaraderie of those first weeks has given way to infighting and a struggle for attention.
Poe joined other organizers on a trip to the Palestinian territories last year and he recently returned from the Sundance Film Festival — decisions that have raised questions among some activists about how groups are spending the hundreds of thousands of dollars that have come in from foundations and ordinary people who hit "donate" buttons online.
Poe and Russell said they are not getting paid by Hands Up. Neither was sure of the exact size of the organization's budget. Hands Up United — which like many of the new groups has not established nonprofit status of its own — has received organizational help from a group connected with the California antiwar nonprofit known as Code Pink.
Russell said Hands Up United, unlike other groups that flared on TV and Twitter and then disappeared, is in it for the long run. "For some people, when it wasn't sexy anymore, when CNN left, it died down for them," he said. "What we're doing is not hashtag activism, this is actually community organizing. I've never seen hashtags change my community."
Athousand miles away, Hands Up United's shift in focus from civil disobedience to community development — from leading rallies to giving out books — sounds familiar to Phillip Agnew.
The group he founded in 2012 — after a former neighborhood watch volunteer shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed black 17-year-old in Sanford, Fla. — had a two-year head start on those that have emerged in Ferguson and Cleveland. Agnew's Dream Defenders have been through it all: the rush of the marches, a 31-day sit-in in the state capitol, confrontations with the powerful, promises that they would be listened to, frustration when nothing changed.
Now, on the same day that Hands Up United gives out books in Ferguson, Agnew's Dream Defenders stage a multicultural festival in front of a sprawling, brightly colored mural of Haitian village life in Miami's Little Haiti neighborhood. The attractions includesalsa dancing and African drumming; speeches in English, Spanish and Creole; testimonials from farmworkers and college students — all spiced with gentle reminders of the need to do something about the number of young people from Miami's crazy quilt of impoverished communities who drop out of school, land in prison, or subsist without career or much hope of one.
The Dream Defenders — the name refers to the effort to build on the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy — started out demanding the repeal of Florida's "stand your ground" law, which allows people to use deadly force if they feel threatened by another person. But after their sit-in failed to persuade Gov. Rick Scott (R) to call a special session of the legislature to reconsider the law, Agnew and his fellow Defenders concluded that they needed to move on to "the next phase."
What that would look like took many months to decide. Agnew — at 29, he is thoughtful yet blunt, insisting on talking about fomenting revolution even when his older advisers counsel more moderate rhetoric — said he was initially distracted by the celebrity that came with being a prominent activist.
"It was very easy to accept invitations all over the country," he said. "It's very, very, very alluring and seductive to have folks know you and to go to conferences and workshops every week. I was in Time magazine, on television all the time — it does begin to create some kind of friction within the organization. And then you look up and feel like we haven't gotten anywhere. We had to pump the brakes."
Some other groups that formed after Martin was killed have left Florida and are trying to find traction on a nationwide scale. The Million Hoodies Movement for Justice was started by a young Floridian, but its leaders are now spread around the country, active mainly through video and social media.
"Nobody's going to have their political beliefs changed on Facebook, but it is a way for us to connect," said Peter Haviland-Eduah, the group's spokesman, who lives in Michigan, where he is in graduate school. "We want to build coalitions across the country, and we have to find small, tangible wins. The civil rights movement in the '60s was about changing laws and they had tangible goals, like getting more folks to register to vote. We're about changing the consensus, changing beliefs, and that's much more difficult."

The Dream Defenders concluded that the only way forward is to embed themselves in local issues. "It's a big mistake for these groups in Ferguson and other places to go national," said Sherika Shaw, 26, the group's South Florida coordinator, who left a graduate program in art education after learning about Dream Defenders on Instagram. "The people are here, where you are. It's not about changing policy; you can't use the master's tools to destroy the master's house. We don't want to be the people the TV networks call; we want to be who the people call instead of the police when there's a domestic dispute."
Shaw spends her days trying to establish Dream Defenders groups in local high schools, appealing to teens to speak out against having uniformed security officers on their campuses.
The group's core members lived for a time in a borrowed house in the lush suburb of Miami Lakes — the dream house, they called it — allowing them to talk and plan around the clock. They lived on Agnew's credit card and his savings from four years he spent selling erectile-dysfunction and anti-depression drugs for a pharmaceutical company in North Carolina.
They studied past movements, read history and made two defining decisions: Unlike many other new groups, they would stay local, rooting themselves in Florida's problems and people. And they would get radical, spurning elective politics and emphasizing their belief that the persistent poverty and social immobility in many black communities result not from specific policies but from the very nature of capitalism and racism.
On one morning in early February, Agnew arrived at work angry because he woke up to a flat tire on his car. "This system of capitalism creates a lot of stress around money," he said. He put on his black "People Over Money" T-shirt and began another day of trying to convince blacks and Hispanics that the problem they see as police brutality is really far deeper.
"A community that just lost someone to a police shooting may not be ready to hear that," he said. "They may not have that language. But if we talk to them about what they experience — being ignored, being invisible, the contempt for black people, the contempt for poor people — they begin to see that this is much larger."
At the street festival, which draws about 150 people over the course of the afternoon, Shamile Louis, the 23-year-old daughter of Haitian immigrants, tries to get that message across. Louis, who has worked with Dream Defenders since her junior year in college, recalls watching George Zimmerman's trial in Martin's shooting on TV every day; when he was acquitted, "my soul was shattered," she said. She spent 27 days at the sit-in at the capitol in Tallahassee. But although she's still committed to the cause, the realities of surviving are pulling her away from full-time activism.
"I'm going to have to find work," she said. "The movement is really struggling. We were really amped up at the capitol. The reality now is people have real lives and have to work."
She spent part of the afternoon at the Dream Defenders table in the center of the courtyard. By day's end, only six people have signed cards expressing interest in the group's work.
Jesse Jackson came to Tallahassee to join the Dream Defenders in their sit-in. Sharpton shuttled into Ferguson to lead marches and rustle up media attention. Black clergy and leaders of traditional civil rights groups reached out to the new groups, offering advice and organizational support.
And in December, Agnew and six other leaders of new groups met at the White House with President Obama, who told them he would set up a task force to address the "simmering distrust" between police and African Americans. Agnew came away from the meeting convinced that protest groups must become more radical because change will not come from those already in power.
"The concessions won by the civil rights movement in the '60s are our biggest obstacle," he said. "We have black Fortune 500 CEOs, an African American president, African American mayors and chiefs of police, and still the lot of black people, Latino people, has not risen."
Dream Defenders, which has a minimally paid staff of seven, works largely off a $200,000 grant from the Tides Center, a San Francisco-based foundation that supports groups seeking social change. Agnew said he expects the Tides money to dry up eventually "because in the end, we're going to be too radical for them."
In Cleveland, the mayor, police chief and much of the City Council are black, as are many influential pastors. But some young black activists say their fight puts them squarely at odds with the city's black power structure.
"As an African American guy trying to make a difference, I am fighting the white establishment, and I'm also fighting the black establishment," said Alonzo Mitchell, an organizer who hosts a local radio show and is a regular at council meetings.
When Mitchell, 33, approached a city official to seek backing for a mentorship program for future political leaders, he says he was told: "No one is going to teach you. Power is never given, it's taken."
On the city's west side, below the modest Guide to Kulchur bookstore, an expansive basement meeting room has become the headquarters of an activist collective determined to change how Cleveland police operate.
In the basement one recent afternoon, activists peppered half a dozen council members with demands, insisting that each official complete a report card, answering yes or no to statements such as "The officer who killed Rice should be immediately indicted." All but one of the council members in attendance said they favored an indictment.
When protesters planned a march after the Rice shooting, Police Chief Calvin Williams volunteered to shut down parts of a highway. Commuters griped about the protests impeding traffic, but Mayor Frank Jackson said "that's the inconvenience of freedom." Cleveland police officers working at demonstrations conversed and joked with protesters, a strikingly different approach from officers in St. Louis, who met similar protests with riot gear, tear gas and rubber-coated bullets.
Despite such efforts at cooperation, pressing for change is harder in cities with black elected officials, some veteran civil rights leaders say.
"It is more difficult to organize against a black power structure," said Lawrence Hamm, 61, who formed the People's Organization for Progress in Newark in 1983 after a police shooting of an unarmed black man. "You might be marching against a popular black mayor, and it's going to be harder for you to get people to join you."
The new groups need help from the old-line black civil rights groups they sometimes view as having sold out, Hamm said: "The black radical organizations — the people who want more fundamental change — are not going to be strong enough to get there on their own."
Although Hamm's group still agitates for police overhauls, its founder long ago realized he needed to work both with elected officials and with older, mainstream organizations.
"We formed our group because we felt the traditional civil rights groups were not aggressive enough," said Hamm. "But now, I belong to three branches of the NAACP."
Three decades after Hamm set out to be more in-your-face than the black organizations of his parents' generation, Ciara Taylor, the 25-year-old political director of Dream Defenders, found her way to a more radical path by volunteering in Obama's 2008 campaign.
Knocking on doors in Vero Beach, Fla., she was called the n-word and confronted with the reality that a black senator's candidacy for president "does not make race go away," she said. "There was a great hope within my generation and within me that we could be free of racial identification, but we realized that race does not go away."
But it took a one-two punch three years later to propel her into full-time activism: In her senior year at Florida A&M University, the school proposed to eliminate her major, Spanish language; she switched her concentration to political science and joined a campaign to reverse the cutbacks. A few months after that, when Martin was killed, Taylor, daughter of a corporate manager and a career Navy officer, felt jolted from her middle-class trajectory.
"Being a young person, you're impatient," she said. "You see these trigger moments happen and you automatically want to fight the big beast that our parents tried to protect us from."
Now, two years into her life as an organizer, Taylor bristles at the notion, expressed by some veterans of the 1960s movement, that the new activism is dissipating. "A lot of the older generation looks at movement work as physically being at a protest," she said. "That's important, but a more radical expression of social engagement is simply choosing to love yourself in a society that tells you you look like a thug or your nose is too big."
When Taylor sees new groups fading away, she doesn't take that as a defeat, but as a sign that people are "caring for themselves. The fact that a lot of movements are disintegrating comes from the inability to care for oneself, especially mothers with families."
Ferguson remains a hive of activism. For the first time, the Organization for Black Struggle, which grew out of the Black Power movement of the 1970s and '80s, has enough money to pay six staff members, thanks to support from individuals and progressive groups such as the Center for Popular Democracy, Color of Change and the Open Society Foundations, which was founded by liberal billionaire investor George Soros.

Seven months ago, Charles Wade was adjusting scarves and trimming hems for Hollywood stars. Now he's in St. Louis, where the former image consultant to Solange Knowles, Beyoncé's sister, is alone, in black sweats, scrubbing the floor of a townhouse that is part of a transitional housing program he has set up through his new organization, Operation Help or Hush.
It's been a trying few days. His asthma was acting up. A protester he's been housing lost Wade's credit card while out buying supplies. And on Twitter, he's dealing with a protester who questioned his funding, his newfound fame as an activist and his devotion to the cause.
"It's really demoralizing that you have to fight so hard just to do something decent for people," Wade said.
Immediately after the Brown shooting, Wade, a native of Bowie, Md., started raising money on Twitter to provide food, housing and even expense money for protesters who paused their lives to go into the streets. He raised $25,000 in one week. On one occasion, after putting out a call on Twitter for help for protesters who needed gas money, Wade stood in the parking lot of Andy Wurm Tire & Wheel handing out $20 bills.
Since grand jurors decided not to indict Wilson, many activists have scattered. Wade stayed. He still expects to house 27 new activists by April, and he's raising money through Twitter and from friends and family.
He's determined to keep going, he said; there's so much more to do: "There's very little we've actually gotten for Ferguson except for it to be known nationally."

Texas Supreme Court Panel: Electronic Briefs, Persuasive Writing, and What's on the Docket
Friday, January 21st, 2011 by Don Cruse · Add a Comment
Thursday's meeting of the Austin bar appellate section featured a panel of Texas Supreme Court Justices. The panel included Justice Nathan Hecht, Justice Phil Johnson, and the Court's newest member, Justice Lehrmann. The moderator was former Justice Brister.
The format was Q&A, with a few topics that should be of interest to readers of this blog.
Electronic briefs — who likes them, and what do they like?
Of the three panelists, two (Hecht and Lehrmann) said that they are already reading both petitions for review and merits briefs online. The other (Johnson) said that he reads on paper but — after a jocular exchange with Justice Brister — said that he does occasionally refer to the electronic version if he hasn't taken a whole case file home.
The panel was asked about hyperlinks in briefs. Justice Hecht said that he liked them and found that they made his job easier, as did Justice Lehrmann. Both Justices expressed some sensitivity about the cost involved in making these more complicated briefs.
(If you want some tips on how to make your own, you can of course check out my page collecting information about how to make e-briefs. You might also consider using hyperlinks only selectively, to highlight the most important authorities. That is one of the emerging debates about the best way to make e-briefs, but the selective approach does conserve both your resources and the readers' attention.)
The Justices were also asked about footnotes — one of the great legal-writing debates of the last decade. Justice Hecht and Justice Lehrmann both agreed with the Bryan Garner position that the brief was often easier to read when legal citations were moved to the footnotes. Justice Johnson preferred, instead, that footnotes be limited to items such as record citations. ("If it's important enough to be in the brief, it ought to be in the text.")
Writing persuasive briefs
The panel was asked how they felt about argumentative statements of fact. Justice Johnson and Justice Lehrmann both said that they thought this was a place where advocates sometimes were unprofessional. Justice Johnson expressed his frustration at situations where, after reading the two statements of fact, it looked like there were two different cases. Justice Lehrmann noted that open emotional appeals in the fact statement detracted from the persuasiveness of the brief.
Justice Hecht's view was more pragmatic, that he thought good statements of fact advanced the argument in how they were constructed. But he did note that it was a serious blow to an advocate's credibility if they left out a critical, harmful fact that was then revealed by their opponent.
On a similar note, the panel was asked about opening paragraphs (what are sometimes called "preliminary statements"). None of the Justices thought it was useful to include the usual formulaic "COMES NOW…" text. On the other hand, the Justices warned against going overboard too soon because your credibility as an advocate is still at stake.
As part of an answer about the role of the appellate bar, Justice Hecht noted that he is seeing amicus briefs in more cases, "which I think is helpful."
Issues that are dominating the Texas docket
The panel was also asked what issues are dominating the docket. The first answer: "immunity." The Court also noticed a recent trend to takings cases, medical expert reports, and some disputes about the reach of tort reform.
Justice Hecht noted that the Court doesn't see as many common-law cases as in past years. Instead, the docket is dominated by statutory construction or contract interpretation.
With recent personnel changes, will the Court be less contentious?
The newest member, Justice Lehrmann, answered a question about whether the Court would be issuing fewer dissents after the retirement of Justice O'Neill (a noted dissenter). As her replacement, Justice Lehrmann may have a unique perspective on the question.
Her answer: "No."
