By MINA MOHAMMADI Deputy News Editor As a soulful Quranic recitation rang across the stage at Kimmel’s Rosenthal Pavilion with views of the New York City skyline in the background, Sheika Ieasha Prime, Scholar-in-Residence and Associ- ate Champlain at NYU, took the stage to speak to an eager crowd of around 200. “Being an ally calls for you to know who I am,” Prime told WSN. “If you are going to be an ally to me, do you know my history? Do you know my story? Do you know my narrative? Before you can show up and say, ‘No Muslim ban,’ do you know why I have the PHOTO COURTESY OF AROOSHA AAMIR right to be here?” Students gather at Kimmel Rosenthal Pavilion for the 2nd Annual Black Muslim Symposium.

Photo by David Asti A clothesline full of colorful t-shirts expressed horrific stories of violence committed against women. The shirts lined the dining area from Oct. 24 through Oct. 27 in the Mourant building. The collection, named the Alaskan Clothesline Project, travels the state displaying color coded shirts that describe the type of violence committed against its victim. One shirt displayed a message about a child asking her father why she was sexually assaulted by him. Norene Otnes of the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium (SEARHC) blessed the hanging of the shirts with chanting and spiritual beating of drums. “I want to come and support by encouraging,” Otnes said. The purple, orange, green and red t-shirts signified women who were victims of rape, physical assault, child abuse, and anti-lesbian hate crime. Especially noteworthy were the white shirts which were created in memory of women who were murdered. http://www.uas.alaska.edu/whalesong/archives/2007/2_l2_2DD7/Clothesline_project.html Student wellness supervisor Cheryl Loudermilk helped facilitate the display of the project at UAS. “Having (the shirts) here for a few days gives people a chance to read and become aware of the issue,” Loudermilk said.

  • Critical Criminal Justice Issues
    U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs National Institute of Justice CriticalCritical CriminalCriminal JusticeJustice IssuesIssues TaskTask ForceForce ReportsReports FromFrom thethe AmericanAmerican SocietySociety ofof CriminologyCriminology toto AttorneyAttorney GeneralGeneral JanetJanet RenoReno FOREWORD There is a discernible urgency to the crime issue. Crime and the fear of crime rank as the most important issues in public opinion polls. Some communities resemble war zones where gunshots ring out every night. Other cities struggle to create islands of civility amid threats to public order posed by low-level criminal behavior that eludes traditional measures. Appropriately, public policymakers and administrators in the criminal justice system are responding to the issue of crime in all its complexity. Every aspect of the infrastructure of our traditional criminal justice policy is undergo- ing fundamental rethinking. Our approaches to policing, adjudication, sentencing, imprisonment, and community corrections are changing in significant ways. Indeed, communities that are suffering from crime are changing their interactions with the agencies of the criminal justice system as the concepts of community policing, community prosecution, and community justice take on real meaning in cities and towns around the country. This combination—a sense of urgency on the part of the public and a rapidly changing policy response—creates a compelling need for policy-relevant research. When Attorney General Janet Reno addressed the American Society of Criminology at its annual meeting in November 1994, she challenged Society members to translate their re- search findings into recommendations that would benefit the practitioners and policymakers who confront the issues of crime and justice. The reports presented in these pages are the response to that challenge.

  • WRCU 2/10 ROTATIONS RIYL = Recommended If You Like
    WRCU 2/10 ROTATIONS RIYL = Recommended If You Like Alone, Omen 3 by King Krule RIYL: Cosmo Pyke, Ariel Pink The chameleonic singer-songwriter is gearing up for the February 21st release of his next album, Man Alive!, with single "Alone, Omen 3", which displays elements of both the stark, rough-shod post-punk of his first record, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, and the more eclectic art pop leanings of his second, The OOZ. But "Alone, Omen 3" also hints at a new, psychedelically inclined direction for Marshall, featuring a more understated vocal performance and a woozy, meditative tone. By Colin Jones Run by Joji RIYL: James Blake, Rejjie Snow George Kusunoki Miller began his online career as Filthy Frank (a sketch comedy act), transitioned to Pink Guy (a comedy rapper), and finally realized his full musical form as Joji, the lo-fi hip hop artist inspired by Donald Glover and influenced by electronic and R&B music. On “Run,” a haunting, mysterious electric guitar snakes its way through the song supported by heartbreaking lyrics. Imagine you’re driving along a coastal highway, top-down, feeling the wind, letting the song’s words wash over you, and thinking of your last great love...all while wearing a bad-ass, black leather jacket. That’s what this song is like. By Chase Garvey-Daniels Shangri-La by EOB RIYL: Radiohead, The Postal Service Shangri-la is one of three singles released ahead of Radiohead frontman Edward O'Brien’s upcoming album, which will be called “Earth”. This is O’Brien’s debut album as a solo artist, marking the end of (or at least a break from) his 20+ years with Radiohead.

  • PRESS KIT 2004 in May of 1999, a Team of Music-Science Journalists Were on a Routine field Outing in Manhattan
    PRESS KIT 2004 In May of 1999, a team of music-science journalists were on a routine field outing in Manhattan. What they discovered shocked and perplexed them. Many experts classified The Heroine Sheiks as odd and primitive throwbacks, though others pointed out that the musical structures of these creatures were absolutely unique (some even thought the species of higher intelligence.) The scientific mainstream was unconvinced. The musical DNA evidence is now in and the dissidents have been vindicated, this is a NEW species. Many scientists still insist that these creatures will be unable to adapt themselves to a conservative climate regime. Others counter that those scientists have not personally observed The Heroine Sheiks in the wild and have ignored new data (RE. SIAMESE PIPE, Rubric Records) which suggests that these creatures have in fact been expanding their range across a spectrum of ecosystems- to the alarm of many music environmentalists Bios- Eric Robel, Drums From the Great Plains of North America, this animal has astonished naturalists in that when it attacks, it appears to possess six arms! However, careful follow-up ob- servations with slow motion photography have revealed only the normal two. The phantom appendages are in fact a rare beneficial genetic mutation. Witness that the most elusive of evolutionary events – “The Hopeful Master.” Martin Ros - Guitar This newly discovered sub-species is thought by some scientists to have rafted over in recent times from another nearby island, perhaps on matted vegetation or some other flotsam. It has flourished in its new environment through its brute power and surprising cunning.

Photography: Still from 'Biscuit Town'. Today King Krule releases a music video for "Biscuit Town," the opening track from his Mercury Prize nominated album The OOZ. The video comes as the first of a three-part collaboration with WeTransfer, which sees King Krule explore the creative process with each video’s director, hosted on WePresent. Directed by friends and long-term collaborators cc. Wade (aka Michael and Paraic Morrissey), the video sees King Krule (aka Archy Marshall) inhabiting his own noir ‘Biscuit Town’- waking up and retracing his footsteps through the city, piecing together the remnants of a hazy, half- remembered night before. A reflection of his futuristic, jazz-inflected, film-inspired sound, the video serves to compliment the warm, dreamlike quality of ‘Biscuit Town’. King Krule’s second LP The OOZ was released in October last year to wide spread critical acclaim, and follows on from 2013’s also critically lauded album Six Feet Beneath the Moon. In the interim, Archy Marshall also released A New Place 2 Drown, a collaborative multimedia projects with his brother, Jack.
