The Editor in Chief of East Palo Alto Today Henrietta J. Burroughs and East Palo Alto's Chief of Police Ron Davis made guest appearances on the Shedding Light show with host Byrd. The three of them discussed the Culture of the Hood and the Culture of the Brotherhood with respect to the No Snitching policy and the Code of Silence which characterize the two cultures, respectively.
In their groundbreaking discussion, which included questions from Hale and Burroughs, Davis talked about the work he does with the U.S. Justice Department in examining and investigating police departments throughout the country and the steps that he is currently taking to improve police relations within the East Palo Alto community. These are a few steps he believes the policing profession should consider to improve departments and to improve the publicâs perception of the police.

Speaking before the Operations Committee of the St. Lawrence County Legislature, Don Hassig, Director of Cancer Action NY describes the need for widespread public education on the subject of pollutant carcinogen exposure reduction based upon exposure avoidance. Director Hassig requested that the County Legislature write to the offices of Senators Schumer and Gillibrand seeking the services of these two New York State elected representatives in the creation of a Pollutant Carcinogen Exposure Reduction Act, which would mobilize the public health agencies of federal, state and county governments for the purpose of informing Americans concerning changes in diet and behavior that can reduce exposure to pollutant carcinogens thereby reducing cancer risk. Priority pollutants for such an educational outreach include: dioxins, dioxin-like compounds, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), bisphenol-A, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), benzene, and carcinogenic metals.

Dec. 2, 2009, 2:42 a.m.
I saw Neil Hamburger last weekend, and man that guy is hilarious. He understands probably better than anyone else that if two jokes about Anthony Keidis merely elicit a response of, huh? Forty-seven jokes about the man all streamed together are comedic gold.
But he was in peak form, pouring drinks on hecklers, clearing his throat, and telling his hurky jurky jokes. Funny guy.
Erik is sick tonight, so I'll be doing the duties. But do not worry, he's left me with music for his portion of the program, so the usual right brain, left brain randomness will march on.
Solidarity with the Native American community; BDS campaign
Dec. 1, 2009, 5:16 p.m.
Activist Salma Abu Ayyash (sitting in for Sherif) tells of attending the annual National Day of Mourning in Plymouth MA during Thanksgiving. All or nearly all of the Native American speakers at that gathering proclaimed their solidarity with the victimized Palestinians. We air an excerpt. The gathering was dedicated to our brother in injustice, Leonard Peltier. One of our Palestinian brothers wrote a poem to honor Leonard Peltier, which was put to song. Salma offers her translation of the poem to English, following which we air a performance of the song.
Salma reviews some of the dark history of the genesis of the Israeli takeover and occupation of Palestine, along with its distorted treatment by today's mainstream media.
There's a brief discussion of the growth and significance of the ongoing BDS campaign (BDS = boycott, divestment, and sanctions).
Finally, to bring us up to date, Salma presents a brief summary of some of the most recent Israeli attacks and incursions on the Palestinian people and the implications for our survival.

Smoke 'em if ya got 'em!
Nov. 30, 2009, 10:03 p.m.
Tomorrow marks the end of an era,even more so than when they successfully did this in the 46 states before us already.
Banning smoking in VIRGINIA isn't like banning it in Utah. Frescoes of big,beautiful,golden brown tobacco leaves adorn our state Capitol's rotunda ceiling for chrisake!
But Virginia knew that it had to cave in sooner or later.
I mean,46 of the 50 states had some form of ban and it probably would've been even more embarrassing to be the FINAL holdout,that would've been just TOO cliche'(we'll leave being cliche' to the states that are more accustomed to that:Alaska,Alabama,WEST Virginia...y'all know who you are,you don't need me to tell you).
Keep in mind however,that of all the 47 states that have some kind of formal ban,ours is probably the most lax in that the penalties are negligible(maximum $25 fine).
This ban is the extremely watered down version of the more ambitious ones that have failed miserably before it,and essentially,the "ban" just makes official what 70% of restaurants in the state ALREADY do,so this is actually nothing more than a token gesture.
IN OTHER WORDS,
politics at it's best (or worst,depending on your level of cynicism).
The amount of money the tobacco and restaurant lobby spend in our state Capitol certainly can't be compatible to what they perceive they're losses would be had they not greased the wheels of legislature,or at the very least,is a wash.
The point being is that A LOT of money has changed hands between lobbyists and state officials over this matter and nothing was actually accomplished other than state official pockets getting fatter.
Personally,I could care less either way,it's just a good excuse to do a theme show!
