COUNTRYMAN University of Michigan This article traces the origins of black independent electoral activism in Philadelphia during the 1970s to the Black Power movement of the 1960s. Specifically, it argues that Black Power activists in Philadelphia turned to electoral strategies to consolidate their efforts to achieve community control over public insti- tutions in the city’s black working-class neighborhoods. Finally, the article concludes with a brief evalu- ation of the careers of African American activist state legislators David Richardson and Roxanne Jones and W. Wilson Goode, Philadelphia’s first African American mayor. Keywords: Black Power; community control; independent politics; Democratic Party The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and politicians in his own community.

    Chapter 1 A Red Wagon in a Field of Snow n the morning of December 11, 2008, a New York real estate developer on a JetBlue fl ight from New York to Los Angeles O was watching CNBC on the small seat - back television. A crawl across the bottom of the screen reported that Bernard Madoff, a legen- dary Wall Street fi gure and the former chairman of NASDAQ had been arrested for running the largest Ponzi scheme in history. The developer sat silently for several seconds, absorbing that news. No, that couldn ’ t be right , he thought, but the message streamed across the screen again. Turn- ing to his wife, he said that he knew that she wasn ’ t going to believe what he was about to tell her, but apparently Bernie Madoff was a crook and the millions of dollars that they had invested with him were lost. He was right — she didn ’ t believe him. Instead, she waved off the thought. “ That ’ s not possible, ” she said, and returned to the magazine she was reading. The stunned developer stood up and walked to the rear of the plane, where the fl COPYRIGHTEDight attendants had gathered MATERIALin the galley. “ Excuse me,” he said politely, “ but I ’ m going to be leaving now.

"Pennsylvanians don't often get a chance to matter in presidential primaries, and this year they have the opportunity to play a key role in one of the best political dramas in a generation," said Chris Borick, a politics professor at Muhlenberg College. "They're seizing that opportunity." 1 Clinton is favored to win the state. But with the contest so tight, both candidates are looking to build their vote totals toward a final victory. Obama leads Clinton in overall delegates, but neither is close to achieving the 2,025 needed to win the nomination. Obama also has a thin lead in the popular vote that Clinton would like to overturn before the final ballots are cast in June.2 A strong showing in Pennsylvania for Obama, if not a victory, would keep his accumulated lead in delegates and in the popular vote more or less intact.

  • Newark Assembly Plant: Glycol Ether Reduction In
    Newark Assembly Plant Glycol Ether Reduction in Surface Preparation Materials ________________________________________________________________________ The Newark Assembly Plant manufactures and assembles passenger vehicles. During 1995, Newark manufactured the Chrysler Concorde and Dodge Intrepid model lines. The Newark Assembly Plant receives automobile components from Chrysler stamping and engine manufacturing plants as well as other mechanical and electronic components from numerous suppliers. The production of vehicles required many different operations including welding, brazing, conversion coating, adhesive application, painting and automotive fluid filling as well as ancillary operations such as machine maintenance and wastewater treatment. Auto bodies receive surface preparation, primers and topcoat paint for both corrosion protection as well as for consumer preferance. Surface preparation is critical for inter- coat adhesion as well as finished paint quality. Part of the surface prep process is the Body Washer. The Body Washer consists of a high pressure water and surfactant spray process used to clean the body of the vehicle. The purpose of washing the body is to remove drawing compounds, stamping lubricants as well as dirt and debris that may be present on the metal surface of the body. This is done prior to the body moving into the metal finishing area. Previously a surfactant mixture which contained glycol ethers was used for washing the bodies. Through product reformulation, a substitute surfactant was developed which contained no glycol ethers. This product substitution resulted in a reduction of approximately 75,000 pounds of glycol ethers. After the body comes out of the metal finishing area, the same product containing glycol ethers was used in the pre-wipe area prior to entry into the phosphate system.

Punishment And Privilege: The Politics Of Class, Crime, And Corporations In America Abstract As the global leader in incarceration, America locks up its own citizens at a rate that dwarfs that of any other developed nation. Yet while racial minorities and the urban poor fill American prisons and jails for street crimes, the state has historically struggled to consistently prosecute corporate crime. Why does the American state lock people up for street crimes at extraordinary rates but demonstrate such a limited capacity to prosecute corporate crime? While most scholarship analyzes these questions separately, juxtaposing these phenomena illuminates how the carceral state’s divergent treatments of street crime and corporate crime share common and self-reinforcing ideological and institutional origins. Analyzing intellectual history, policy debates, and institutional change relating to the politics of street crime and corporate crime from 1870 through today demonstrates how the class biases of contemporary crime policy emerged and took root during multiple junctures in U.S.
