  • ANDREW HURLEY Billy Ramirez Drummers Making a Difference from the GRAVE to the CORK TREE
    14.5_39-40.qxp 4/11/05 10:38 AM Page 39 by VibeVVibeViibbee ANDREW HURLEY Billy Ramirez Drummers Making A Difference FROM THE GRAVE TO THE CORK TREE ook reports, gym class, stale lunch, and driver’s ed are all still fresh in the memories Bof the members of Fall Out Boy. The Boy was born just a few years ago while bassist Pete Wentz, vocalist Patrick Stump, and guitarist Joe Trohman were in high school in Chicago. They recruited their buddy Andrew Hurley to man the drums, and the quartet quickly recorded a demo (a joint CD with Project Rocket), and released their first full-length record Take This To Your Grave on the Fueled By Ramen label. At their age, it’s a good bet Top Ramen is their source of fuel. Hurley, one of the band’s elder statesmen at 24 years old, joined after Fall Out Boy unsuccessfully auditioned a series of drummers. “I was in college, going full-time, and we were playing local shows. That was about the time we started talking to labels, and interest started growing, and it totally took off very fast,” Hurley says with an innocent voice that befits his calm, bespectacled face, but belies his tattooed arms and intense playing. “We were writing and recording Take This To Your Grave when I was still in school full time. I’d be going down from Milwaukee, which is an hour and a half away, so I’d be driving there and back everyday to go to school, and then I’d go do pre-production for the record.

  • ABSTRACT TAYLOR, JAMI KATHLEEN. the Adoption of Gender Identity Inclusive Legislation in the American States. (Under the Direct
    ABSTRACT TAYLOR, JAMI KATHLEEN. The Adoption of Gender Identity Inclusive Legislation in the American States. (Under the direction of Andrew J. Taylor.) This research addresses an issue little studied in the public administration and political science literature, public policy affecting the transgender community. Policy domains addressed in the first chapter include vital records laws, health care, marriage, education, hate crimes and employment discrimination. As of 2007, twelve states statutorily protect transgender people from employment discrimination while ten include transgender persons under hate crimes laws. An exploratory cross sectional approach using logistic regression found that public attitudes largely predict which states adopt hate crimes and/or employment discrimination laws. Also relevant are state court decisions and the percentage of Democrats within the legislature. Based on the logistic regression’s classification results, four states were selected for case study analysis: North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Massachusetts. The case studies found that legislators are often reluctant to support transgender issues due to the community’s small size and lack of resources. Additionally, transgender identity’s association with gay rights is both a blessing and curse. In conservative districts, particularly those with large Evangelical communities, there is strong resistance to LGBT rights. However, in more tolerant areas, the association with gay rights advocacy groups can foster transgender inclusion in statutes. Legislators perceive more leeway to support LGBT rights. However, gay activists sometimes remove transgender inclusion for political expediency. As such, the policy core of many LGBT interest groups appears to be gay rights while transgender concerns are secondary items. In the policy domains studied, transgender rights are an extension of gay rights.

  • Annual Report 2009 from the Director Janet Domenitz, Executive Director
    Massachusetts Public interest research GrouP & MassPirG education Fund Annual Report 2009 From The Director Janet Domenitz, Executive Director Dear MASSPIRG supporter, In his historic inauguration speech in January 2009, President Barack Obama said we should not have to make false choices. Specifically, he said we do not have to choose between our security and our ideals. That thought stayed with me throughout the year as we pushed for many important public interest reforms. For example, we should not have to choose between access to, and quality of, our health care. We should not have to decide whether we’re going to bury or burn our waste. And we should not have to choose between borrowing beyond our means or foregoing higher education for our children. In all these examples, and more, what we see is powerful special interests attempting to dictate the debate and present these “choices.” Of course the big insurance companies want us to think the choice is quality or access to health care, because they don’t want to submit to the sorely needed reforms that would make them more transparent, accountable and fair. The landfill and incinerator lobby envisions a future in which we burn more waste or bury it in landfills. They are lobbying hard against the reduce, reuse, recycle advocates like us, who can see an entirely different future for Massachusetts simply by rejecting the status quo and embracing common sense measures that don’t line the pockets of the huge waste companies. I could go on—but the point is, our agenda is more than the sum of its parts.
