Despite the current political climate where efforts to build walls, ban travel and separate different ethnic groups is increasing, an argument can be made that over time, the forces of globalization are simply too strong and, ultimately, will prevail.
Whether it relates to the economy, the environment, religion or culture, the fact is, the world community is becoming increasingly interrelated and interdependent. Travel is faster, safer, more affordable and more accessible to the masses. A distance that once took a day to traverse is now only hours away. You can be in New York today and Tokyo the next.
Global communication is now instantaneous and accessible to almost everyone on the planet. From Memphis to Mumbai, Sheboygen to Shanghai, all it takes to access the global communications network is a modem and electricity. From the challenges associated with the spread of disease to the spread of terrorist ideology to the fact that our children are now competing against the children of India, China and Russia for the world's best jobs. International and cultural boundaries are diminishing.
The result is that the U.S. is no longer a virtual island, protected by two major oceans. We can no longer isolate ourselves from the problems, issues and opportunities of the rest of the world. We are part of a global economic and geopolitical system. In so many ways, we are becoming one world.
In short, there is a big world out there and rather than trying to build walls we must learn to effectively deal with that reality.
This begs the question. What must our educational institutions do to effectively educate and prepare our children to succeed in this changing global reality? Increasingly, our schools are being asked to instill in our children not only an awareness and appreciation for these changing global circumstances, but also to prepare them to successfully navigate the challenges presented by an increasingly multiethnic and multicultural global community. In other words, proficiency in reading, writing and math is no longer enough. Today, a quality education must include an understanding of, appreciation for, and the ability to function in a multi-ethnic, multi-national, interrelated world.
If we expect our children and our nation to thrive in the 21st Century, our educational policies and programs must take into account these changing challenges and expectations, including priorities and policies relating to the role that music can play in the school curricula.
Music has always been viewed as a powerful tool in breaking barriers and promoting cross-cultural understanding. That is why, for example, there is a long and strong history of the U.S. State Department using music as a vehicle to promote cultural understanding. The number of cultural exchange music programs involving countries from all over the globe are too many to mention. And, there is a long history of radio networks such as Voice of America broadcasting American jazz, blues and rock-n-roll to a worldwide audience.
I was recently reminded of music's potential in this regard by a fellow musician recounting a visit to Italy. He described two very unexpected highlights. As he and his family entered an open plaza in Rome, they heard, flowing out of beautiful cathedral, the sound of a choral group in full-throated Latin. Upon further inquiry, they were surprised to discover the group consisted of high school students from all over the United States. They were rehearsing for a performance, one of several they were scheduled to give throughout Europe.
The second occurred at a café in Venice, where they noticed a play bill advertising an upcoming appearance by a choral group. Upon closer examination, they saw that the group was a high school chorus from a small town in rural Indiana. Imagine being a high school kid from a country town in middle-America singing in Florence, Italy. How cool is that!
Music is the universal language with an appeal that transcends language, cultural or religious boundaries. The notes played by a musician fall on the ears the same way whether you are American, Muslim, Jewish, African or Mexican. Engaging in music activities with people of another culture or country can increase cultural understanding and tolerance. It is the ability to build bridges to other cultures and societies that makes music such a valuable educational and cultural tool.
In an increasingly integrated global economy and diverse world community, providing our children access to music education opportunities is critical. Rather than building walls, school and community leaders should be working to leverage the power of music as a universal language to break down barriers and build community. In today's world, harnessing music's power in this regard is more important than ever.
This essay appeared in the September 22, 2018 edition of Blue Avocado.
As a former all-American and professional basketball player turned nonprofit leader, I see tons of similarities between life on the court and as an executive director of a small nonprofit. Everything I learned playing the game comes in surprisingly handy, especially the importance of both defining and continuously revisiting roles and responsibilities, trusting teammates, and striving to break records.
Are Roles and Responsibilities Clear?
On the basketball court, coaches spend an enormous amount of time outlining players' roles in an effort to maximize strengths and minimize weaknesses, both of which are key to winning. For example, I was a good scorer, while other teammates were incredible defenders.
Defining the roles and responsibilities of your staff, volunteers, interns, and board members is perhaps the central challenge of nonprofit leadership. Articulating and defining roles is critical because nonprofits rely so heavily on volunteers.
This is particularly important when it comes to identifying and recruiting board members. Just like a basketball team, an effective board must be well balanced with members who possess a varied assortment of talents and expertise. Simply being passionate about the mission doesn't qualify someone for board service, although of course it's an important pre-requisite. Most importantly, you need to ensure clarity around the specific skills and contacts candidates offer, and how these overlap with current or future needs. Make sure to clearly articulate new member's responsibilities and how they relate to the needs identified.
For smaller or start up organizations with minimal or no staff, developing a working board where members understand their specific roles and how those align with the organization's needs is essential.
On the basketball court, team chemistry and individual roles evolved over the course of the season due to injuries and constant adjustments in style of play. Nonprofits, like any team, must adapt as new opportunities, challenges, and issues arise. A lynchpin to ensuring this is constantly revisiting roles and responsibilities.
For example, we are in the process of finding a new board member to serve as our treasurer. The board member currently in that role conceived a program to catalogue and repair every single instrument at every public school in the county. It's a big, detailed, expensive, and operationally challenging program, but also a huge opportunity for us. We've been communicating throughout regarding him eventually relinquishing his duties as treasurer to tap his skills to build and execute what will become a major program, and we're excited to finally be ready to make that transition.
Once roles and responsibilities are established—or re-established over time—the real challenge begins: trusting your team to carry them out.
In my former basketball life, my most important role was scoring points. But to do that, I had to trust my teammates to help me get open and deliver the ball to me at the right time and place.
Trusting teammates to do their job is especially important if you lead a small nonprofit. In the case of my nonprofit, we started with a volunteer staff of one—me. Since 2006, we've grown to a point where we invested over $1.6 million in grants, scholarships, and general support for school and community music programs. With no full-time paid staff until 2016, we have been successful because we have a working board and volunteers who understand and execute their roles and responsibilities.
In short, whether on the basketball court or in a small nonprofit, all of that strategic recruitment and role defining is of little use if those people are not allowed to do the jobs for which they're recruited. Without trust, the ability to grow your organization and increase community impact will be severely limited.
Are You Striving to Break Records?
At Davidson College, I held the school career scoring record for 30 years, until Steph Curry came along. Records are wonderful, but they're made to be broken, whether in sports or in your nonprofit.
As a founder, I'm still working on letting our "doers do their thing." But we're making progress as evidenced in our evolution and growing impact. One of our signature initiatives is an annual instrument grant program. This year, we awarded over $112,000 to 51 different schools and community arts groups to purchase instruments, breaking our previous 2017 record. That's the kind of record we'd love to keep breaking!
When you set a new record, take the time to celebrate it, but soon after, set a new target that exceeds your old record, and put a plan in place to reach it. Where are you motivating your staff to exceed their previous successes?
Some have said, "If you play life as a game, you'll always win." While the work of nonprofits is no game, there are many lessons we can learn from them. In my personal experience playing basketball, the most relevant and applicable lessons I learned on the court and now think about daily in my new career as an executive director center around defining and continuously revisiting roles and responsibilities, trusting teammates, and striving to break records. Now that I've shared my playbook, I hope you find these helpful, too!
Can the NFL Recover Its Own Fumble?
My father was a successful high school football coach. He was an old school, three yards and a cloud of dust sort of coach. Nothing bothered him more than watching his offense fumble the football. Offenders of what he considered the ultimate football sin were made to carry a football around school all day, every day until the next game. Conversely, as a defensive minded coach, nothing delighted him more than when his defensive unit caused and recovered a fumble.
It's happened... again. Why not flag football?
A Georgia high school football player who came out of a game with an injury and then lost consciousness on the sideline has died, officials said. Dylan Thomas, a 16-year-old junior linebacker for the Pike County Pirates, came out of a game in the third quarter Friday night with what his coach Brad Webber said was a leg injury. He was pronounced dead Sunday night from a head injury.
We say that the game is "about the kids" and that it's about teaching valuable life lessons, developing healthy bodies and competitive instincts, building community and providing entertainment. But if that were the case, rather than refusing to consider a switch from tackle to flag football, we'd embrace the change. To do otherwise is to enable the continuation of an activity in which our children have a reasonable chance of sustaining life long brain damage.
Why would we not embrace such an activity when a significantly safer and less expensive alternative exists?
The fact is, virtually every benefit that can be derived from tackle football can still be taught and absorbed through participation in flag football. Players will still be on teams to learn sacrifice, personal responsibility and teamwork. They'd still be actively engaged in a physical activity. They'd still compete for starting positions and against other teams. And the game would continue to be wonderfully entertaining, but in a different, less brutal (and expensive) way.
So why not flag football?
I gently kicked the vintage, boxy suitcase that was on the floor between me and a group of 15 second graders. The suitcase literally vibrated with all types of rattling, clanging and ringing sounds.
"You want to see what's in there?", I asked.
I opened the suitcase to reveal more than 20 percussion instruments of various sizes, makes, functions and models. In a frenzy, they began to reach for them.
"What?", they asked in unison.
One of the best things about teaching second graders is that they believe just about anything you tell them. And they are game to try just about anything.
Some may consider it a bit silly or foolish for a 60 year-old man to have a make believe name and persona. But there is a long history of musicians with stage names. Muddy Waters' real name was McKinley Morganfield. Howlin' Wolf's was Chester Burnett. And that's simply a start. Jay Z's real name is Shawn Carter, Stephanie Germanotta is Lady Gaga and Dana Owens's stage name is Queen Latifah.
Not to be outdone, the names these kids came up with were priceless: Lion Slayer, Crazy Bone, Lightning Bolt, Jeffrey McMoe, Funky Nose, Princess Cotton Candy, Howlin' Hound Dog and Ruby Jewels to name only a few. And stage names are for adults as well. The three background singers in my current band each has a stage name, Queen Victoria, Honey Bee and Jackie Thunder. Together they comprise the "World Famous Marblettes".
Having a second name and identity allows a certain amount of freedom to step outside yourself. For performers, that can be an advantage. One of the most important characteristics of music and art is that it allows for the individual to "color outside the lines" without being unduly penalized or chastised. It allows you the extra space to stretch your imagination, vision and sense of self. A stage name and alternative persona allows you to be a bit silly, act a bit foolish and stretch and test the boundaries of creativity. That's one of the reasons why music is the most effective tool in our educational arsenal to teach out-of-the-box, creative thinking.
And while that is all great and valuable, the fact is, it's also just plain fun. And if you can't have fun playing music, what's the point? As Margaret Renkl recently wrote in the NY Times, "A person who is not afraid of looking like a fool gets to do a lot more dancing".
Having a stage name and alternative identity can be lots of fun. Although, as a general rule, if you begin to assume four or five alter egos or identities, you might want to seek some professional help.
But one or two? Why not take the opportunity to dance a bit more?
Sometimes you can repeat a phrase or articulate a theory or belief so often that it begins to become simply background noise or, if repeated enough, irrelevant. I am referring to my ongoing use of the metaphor, "another brick in the wall" as it relates to the future of tackle football in America. It seems as if no sooner do I write an essay identifying a trend or incident that, coupled with the larger trends of declining television viewership, declining numbers of participants at the youth league level, increased public and media scrutiny, contributes to the steady, drip-by-drip and brick-by-brick evolution of our society's relationship with the sport of tackle football.
These past few weeks offered another couple of bricks to add to the building of that wall. We're accumulating so many bricks that we'll soon have enough left over to "build that wall" on our Southern border. In fact, I'm sure Mexico will appreciate those excess bricks as it will reduce their building costs when they pay for it.
The addition of these bricks in the wall relate to two recent events that, once again, demonstrate how the culture surrounding the sport of football continues to reveal itself to be increasingly out of touch with rapidly changing American values, attitudes and norms. It is significant that the culture surrounding the game and its coaches is receiving such increased scrutiny as it is safe to say that for far too long, the football community has gotten a relatively free pass relating to the negative impact and influences of the culture surrounding the game.
Media and academic critics have long questioned certain aspects of that culture as it relates to the brutal nature of the game, its' anti-intellectualism, the corrupting influence of the win at any cost culture and the sense of entitlement that athletes and star coaches often exhibit. But for the most part, the scandals that have lead to increased scrutiny in these areas and the attention paid to them, generally fizzles out over time and we find ourselves resorting to our traditional treatment of coaches and programs as being too important and too big to seriously challenge.
But like a wall that becomes stronger as more bricks are added, increased scrutiny begets increased scrutiny. As the light of sunshine begins to spread wider and penetrate deeper into the culture of football, additional areas of concern begin to reveal themselves.
The first is the case of Ohio State University where the university suspended its football coach, Urban Meyer, for three games – a mere slap on the wrist – after he apparently lied about and deleted emails relating to his mishandling of domestic violence allegations against one of his assistant coaches. There was a day when there would be little initial scrutiny, much less dogged follow-up and investigation, into issues at the intersection of the culture of football and domestic violence. For far too long, in such cases, it has been the woman who has been shamed or pressured to quietly bear the scars and pain in the name of "protecting the coach and program". Often such accusations and claims never saw the light of day. But in the #MeToo and social media age, those days are gone. And as increased light is being shed on the "boys will be boys" culture of football, what the public is beginning to see more plainly, is a culture that is increasingly out of line with America's rapidly changing social norms and mores regarding treatment of women and domestic abuse.
The second incident is the tragic death of the University of Maryland freshman football player, Jordan McNair, a freshman lineman who died of heat stroke after running a set of 110-yard wind sprints. The first question is why lineman, who hardly ever run more than 20 yards on a play during games are running 110 yard sprints. Beyond that, apparently Maryland either did not have in place or did not follow commonly accepted treatment procedures for preventing and treating heat stroke.
But in the "increased scrutiny begets increased scrutiny" category, in the investigative process of McNair's death, according to an ESPN report, several current football players and people close to the program described a toxic coaching culture under head coach D.J. Durkin based on fear and intimidation. Belittlement, humiliation, extreme verbal abuse and embarrassment of players was common. According to ESPN, one player was belittled verbally after passing out during a drill. Coaches also used food punitively as it was reported that a player said he was forced to overeat to the point of vomiting.
As a former all-American and professional basketball player and son of a high school football coach, I have both witnessed and been on the receiving end of intense, profanity laced tirades. Highly competitive sports are intense and emotionally charged. As a player, you understand that a certain amount of that comes with the territory. But there are limits. Coaches don't get carte blanche to humiliate, belittle and berate young people. No one does. And in particular, anyone associated with an educational institution. Athletes deserve the same opportunity as all students to learn and experience college life in an environment that is safe and one that treats them with dignity and respect.
There are two salient issues as it relates to this particular situation and the culture of football in general. The sad reality is that far too many coaches and athletic administrators don't think of football "student-athletes" as students at all, but rather as hired guns and dumb jocks. As a result, they are denied the same rights as other college students, that being the right to have a quality educational experience and earn a meaningful degree. In short, it is clear to everyone, and in particular to the players themselves, that they are on campus, first and foremost, to play ball.
The second relates to the most fundamental justification used by the athletic establishment for athletic programs and their coaches to a part of the educational institution in the first place. Specifically, that athletic programs supplement the academic mission of the institution and that coaches are in fact "teachers". If coaches justify their place on campus in that they are educators and teachers, why aren't they held to the same standards of decorum and behavior as all other faculty members? You can't have it both ways. You can't justify your place and role in an academic community by claiming to be an educator while engaging in abusive practices that create an atmosphere of fear and intimidation. An atmosphere where students are verbally abused, belittled, berated and humiliated is hardly a nurturing educational environment.
The fact is, while there may have been a time when it was widely accepted that screaming, berating and intimidating players was simply a part of how coaches "made boys into men", those days are over. While such behavior and methods might be acceptable for training Marines for war, intercollegiate and interscholastic football is not war. Such behavior has no place within an educational institution.
Granted, these two incidents, in and of themselves, will not bring the American football industrial complex to its knees. But make no mistake, slowly and surely, things are changing as it relates to the role, influence and impact of football in our society. Consider these as another couple of bricks in the wall in America's reassessment of the role of football in our society.

Human Therapeutics
The Discovery of Bacteriophage
Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that attach to their specific hosts and kill them by internal replication and bacterial lysis. According to most estimates, bacteriophages inhabited Earth about 3-5 billion years ago, and since that time they have controlled the levels of bacteria in the environment via a classical "predator-prey" relationship. However, the existence of bacteriophages was not known until the early part of the 20th century, when they were first identified by Frederick Twort and Felix d'Herelle who called them bacteriophages or bacteria-eaters (from the Greek phago meaning to eat or devour). At that time, with the age of antibiotics still in the future, bacteriophages were considered to be a powerful cure for bacterial infections, and they were therapeutically utilized throughout the world during the pre-antibiotic era. Although exact numbers are impossible to calculate, it is likely that millions of people have been treated with various therapeutic phage preparations. Bacteriophages naturally inhabit various parts of the human body (e.g., the mouth, skin, gastrointestinal tract, etc.) and humans daily eat many foods containing bacteriophages.
Numerous published studies have indicated that the therapeutic use of phages in humans and animals is very safe; i.e., serious adverse reactions have never been reported. However, since some early studies reported that phage therapy was not always effective, the advent of antibiotics (which seemed to be like "magic bullets" against numerous pathogenic bacteria) gradually caused phage therapy to fall out-of-favor in the United States and Western Europe. Several factors (reviewed in more detail in 1,2), including the lack of a general understanding of phage biology and imperfections in the diagnostic bacteriology techniques available at that time, contributed to the failure of some of the early phage therapy studies and to the associated decline of interest in phage therapy in the West. However, at the same time, phage therapy continued to be utilized in the former Soviet Union (FSU) and in various other countries of Eastern Europe. In the FSU and Eastern Europe – and during the "pre-antibiotic era," in the United States, Western Europe and Australia – phage therapy was used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, ranging from skin infections to septicemia. Among the many routes of phage administration, oral and topical routes were the most frequently used.
The rapid and alarming emergence of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" has rekindled interest in phage therapy in the West. Intralytix, Inc., is one of the pioneering USA companies working to develop and commercialize therapeutic phages. Our approach is based on the results of research supporting the belief that bacteriophages can help to solve problems regarding (i) bacterial contamination during food processing, (ii) hospital and environmental sanitation, and (iii) human and animal diseases caused by pathogenic bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Whites Now "Minority" In Denver, Crackers Freaking Out!!
According to a recent report by the U.$. Census Bureau, Denver is now 50.01 percent non-white as of last year. So now, so-called minorities, or more accurately the non-white oppressed nations, outnumber members of the oppressor white nation in the Denver area.(1)
And not just in Denver. In nearly 10 percent of the counties in the U.$. white people are now a minority compared to non-white people, a trend that continues as time goes on.(2)
The growth of the non-white population is mostly due to the increase of "Latinos," most of whom are Mexicanos, others Central Americans. This has affected Denver and counties around it, likely to make the latter majority-minority too.(3) And with the changing demographics, everything from Spanish-language classes to buying more tortillas than white bread is changing also. And with the growth of "Latinos" comes with it white nativism, exemplified by fascist groups like the Minutemen and idiot cracker politicians like Tom Tancredo.
On the Cracker Talk Radio circuit, this news has the radio blowhards rattling their pinhead brains. In one documented instance, Gunny Bob of 850 KOA falsely reports the news that Hispanics are now the majority. This is contradicted by the official figures, and a caller even corrects him. Gunny Bob denies saying it, but later repeats the same lie he is
on record of saying, and denied. He even gives some nonsensical crackpotism about a "sunset clause" on Manifest Destiny, and bemoans the fact that whites will be a minority by 2050.(4)
Another white trash radio yapper is Peter Boyles of 630 KHOW-AM. In his virulent hatred of Latinos, he can't get his facts straight either. He bemoans about a Denver clinic serving Spanish-speaking peoples. He states "99 percent of Denver's 'Spanish-speaking population'–meaning Spanish only–coming to a health clinic are here illegally.(5) This report cited another bald-faced lie Boyles asserted: "I'm not an idiot."
With all this, the white trash nativist right wing will use this in their continuing spasms against "illegal immigration," despite what the facts are. No matter, we at RAIM-D welcome this news.
The United Snakes is an empire and has been an empire since its beginning. It has committed genocide against First Nations and stole their land, enslaved millions of Africans and continued national exploitation against the Black Nation, and committed imperialist aggression against Mexico and stole the northern half of the country along with oppressing the Chicano/Mexicano people on their own land. And it has committed and continues to commit imperialist atrocities in hundreds of countries since, the most recent being in Afghanistan and Iraq.
And the benefactor of this piggery has been all sections of the white nation of the U.$. The reactionary drivel from some sectors of this opppressor nation is only the more visible of the decadence of these parasites.
There is something we agree with from Gunny Bob. There is a sunset clause on Manifest Destiny, or there soon will be. Amerikkka's pig-ass imperialism will soon have its day and we welcome its destruction. We support national liberation struggles of the captive nations inside the United States, and build a base of nation traitorism within the white nation. Less white people in the city? It's nice to have good news once in a while.

White amerikkka enslaved and murdered it way towards becoming a majority in the first place. A few migrants move back to the land that was stolen from them by whites and the reactionary right throws a fit. What a bunch of privileged pricks.
Unless Ingenuous Peoples, Blacks, Chicanos/Mexicanos, Puerto Ricans, Central American, etc, etc are one single dark "race", then whites are still a majority. Perhaps in the racist heads of white amerikans, all these people are a single group; but otherwise not one of these groups is larger than white amerika.
killcrackasdead
White amerika always says that groups like Blacks need to quit blaming whites for their problems. They say that just because they're a small group it doesn't mean they should have no problem succeeding in merika. Now, whites become 49.9% of the population and they throw a fit. Hey cracka, quit whining.
lacidar
Chauvinist amerikans comment about how they don't feel any different now that they're a "minority". That's because they are still oppressors.
concerned parasite
True, by skewing the discussion merely in terms of population size it falsely negates the idea of economic and social oppression. In essence it doesn't matter how big or small white amerika is relative to oppressed nations within the U$, what matters is who has the power. A good example of whites being a minority oppressor-nation is South Africa.
FcukAmerica
It's very revealing that the hate-radio mouthpiece Gunny Bob complained that these racial/ethnic demographic changes herald a "sunset clause on Manifest Destiny."
America invented this ideology of Manifest Destiny itself to justify the USA's colonization and theft of First Nations' and Mexican lands.
In Orwellian fashion, America disguises the genocidal nature of its colonization of this continent through the romanticized propaganda myth about how the frontier West was settled by White pioneers steeped in their belief in God, "rugged individualism" and the "American spirit."
Though he doesn't realize it, Gunny Bob is implicity admitting that the demographic decline of Whites in the USA signals the end of this murderous American tradition and system.

It fills my heart with glee knowing, white nationalist-racists are crying over the fact that their precious Denver is succumbing to a populous of peoples who owned this place in the first place.

Looks like I may have been right on …..where's my post from August 30th? I suppose when it comes to having an opinion that is not in line with the moderators….you get deleted.
It's the problem with the current minority. You can not own up to your responsibilities of a failing race.
Truly pathetic that you could not even debate the truth but rather just delete my post.
raimd
If we went ahead and argued with every single idiot we encountered then we'd never have time to do anything else. That's the simple truth. It takes anyone (even a cop) 5 seconds to write something idiotic. It takes us much longer to produce a polished reply. So, instead of wasting our time responding to idiocy, we find it best just to delete such comments and spend our time doing real political work.
In the future, unless you can demonstrate serious inquiry into radical politics, you should have no reasonable expectation that your comments won't be deleted.
Since "niggapleez" loves to spew epithets against non-Whites, here is an outstanding example of the superiority of White people in all their glory:
White Guy
Alright! Hell yes! Can whites there now apply for minority programs or minority affirmative action grants? Or does that only count when non-whites were the minority? Ah, hypocrisy, what a ugly little thing.

From one white person to another, shut the hell up. It isn't about who is "more" or "less" in numbers, it is about who is given institutionalized privileges and who is faced with systematic oppression.
Fah-q KraKKer
Sure, no prob. Just go through the standard procedure.
Just get collectively stolen from your home, enslaved, forced into a serf-like position, lynched, excluded, beaten, targeted by the FBI, disproportionately arrested and imprisoned- and it's a deal.
If you don't like that plan you can have your home invaded resulting in your expulsion, forced into a serf-like position, lynched, excluded, beaten, targeted by the FBI, and disproportionately arrested and imprisoned.
Ignorant whiny white-supremacist trash, what a pathetic thing.
(And just so you know, oppressed nations never voted for Affirmative Action. It was forced on us by White Amerika and its Uncle Tom lackeys. Its only white people like yourself who are constantly asking for handouts.)
colored power!!!!!!!!!!!
dhevel
Even though I am a white, this is great news. I am a strong believer in the ideas put forth by Noel Ignatiev in regards to the abolishment of the white race and white privilege. As a guiding principle treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity. As a race, whites are parasites and feed off the labors of others. It is only the wealth that whites have that keep them in power and it is wealth that has been made from the sweat, blood and tears of minorities.
You my friend are an idiot. I guess Newton and all the other great thinkers were parasites right? The stupid computer you are typing now was created by a white person! Without whites this fucking planet will get back to the dark ages. Your kids will have to thank idiots like you for it!
To (racist) Joe,
Your thoughts on history are weak and Euro-centric. African slaves, stolen from their homeland and living on plantations, were inoculating themselves against small-pox while their masters were dying of it.
The only reason Amerikkka is so powerful is because we had abundant: land (stolen from the indigenous), labor (stolen from Africa), and when we wanted to industrialize we got start up capital (stolen from women in the "Salem witch trials")
We are a country of thieves.
It is funny that you bring up the "dark ages." While Europe was in the dark ages the rest of the world was doing fine.
Go learn some real history.
p.s. "The stupid computer you are typing now was created by a white person!"
…really? mine says "Made in China."
Goliath is Dead
Great statement dhevel, however there is one correction I must pass on. The wealth of white nation is not taken at the expense of minorities, but in fact the worlds majority.
eggs100
dhevel: move to Detroit. You'll love it there. Unfortunately, you'll be murdered inside of a month, but what the heck, at least you will have taken a stand.
Nation-traitor
The white "race" has got to go. This does not mean that whites must be killed off, only that they must be stripped of their superior status and position as exploiters.
Although this demographic report from the occupied Mexican city of Denver is certainly good news, the bad news is that many of the non-white peoples in u$-occupied territory are becoming white. Blacks and other semi-colonies internal to u$ imperialism now enjoy most of the fruits of whiteness, chief among them a heaping helping of superprofits extracted from the labor of the Third World.
Thank you Nation-Traitor for clarifying that abolishing the white race does not mean the killing of whites, but rather stripping away the privileges enjoyed by the white race only because of their skin color. Why should a person with white skin have anymore rights or privileges then anyone else?
Goliath is Dead, you too are correct, the white race has gained their wealth at the expense of all the minorities throughout the world. Still, it is that wealth and only that wealth that keeps whites in power. Until the white privileged are stripped of that wealth, unless there is a violent revolt, the parasites will continue to rule.
Fcuk America
US racial minorities are now becoming White? This is "Social Constructivist" racial theory at its most politically cynical and disingenous.
You should tell this to the millions of Blacks and Latinos languishing in America's prison gulag (the greatest in the world); or the thousands of Latino immigrants who have been harassed, deported, and killed by the ICE; or the thousands of South and West Asians who were racially cleansed from the USA under the pretext of terrorism after 9-11. I'd like to see what kind of reaction you get.
Minorities in the American Empire enjoy the benefits of American super-imperialism but not at the same level as Whites. For example, compare the median household income of Blacks vs. Whites.
To suggest otherwise is to gloss over the little issues of White supremacy and hegemony (not just "white privilege") inside the US evil empire itself.
Moreover, you are conflating American *nationalism* with race and Whiteness. Minorities in the USA may or may not be assimilated as Americans–but not as Whites. Minorities in the USA want a greater cut of America's economic spoils, but I doubt if they want the dishonor of being White.
It's Euro-Americans (from the Left Wing to the Right) that need to take moral ownership of the stigma and crime that is Whiteness and not try to disingenuously "share the blame" with minorities.
"the thousands of South and West Asians who were racially cleansed from the USA under the pretext of terrorism after 9-11. I'd like to see what kind of reaction you get.
I generally like your points, but the claim that thousands of South and West Asians were cleansed after 9/11 sounds like hyperbolic foolishness to me and needs verification.
I stand by what I said. Blacks, Latinos, and other oppressed nations under u$ occupation are becoming white in outlook. I don't see what's wrong with admitting that.
There is a class basis for the whitening of oppressed nations within the u$'s "borders." Those oppressed nations now absorb superprofits just as the white oppressor nation does. In fact, undocument migrants from southern Mexico quickly get access to stolen superprofits simply by being in u$-occupied North America, even though they cannot legally work and do not benefit from various state programs available to u$ citizens.
That's why oppressed-nation sovereignty is largely a dead issue nowadays.
What you mean by "white in outlook"?
If you mean that minorities in the USA identify racially and culturally with White people, you're mistaken.
Minorities want a greater cut of America's imperial spoils, yes. That is true. But this self-serving economic interest should not be conflated with White racial identification.
It's not the same thing.
Wanting to be white or having a "white outlook" is a mistake, when minorities can achieve their goals of a large piece of the pie, without giving up their identity. Besides the only thing keeping whites in power is simply wealth. Once whites no longer control the wealth of the nation, then you will see minorities take control and get their just riches.
Serve the People
No, most Black people do not consider themselves white. But lots and lots of them do consider themselves Amerikkkan. And that's what I mean by "white in outlook."

Saluting our Four-Legged Fallen: The Role of K9s in the Military
This past Monday, our country honored our service men and women, past and present, for Memorial Day. We at WINPRO thank all who have served to protect our rights for this great country (there's a reason WINPROpet supplements are proudly made in the USA!). We salute those who bring this country the freedom it thrives on and in turn, also honor our four-legged fallen.
The history of dogs in warfare dates back to around 600 B.C. where dogs were trained to break up enemy formations and aid soldiers who faced enemy troops. Just as warfare has evolved, so has the role of dogs in service. Though not officially recognized until WWII, military working dogs have "fought alongside American forces in every conflict since the Revolutionary War" where they ran into battle alongside both American and British troops. Dogs even took to the skies in WWII, leading paratroopers across Western Europe. In more recent years, dogs have taken on many different roles in the military ranging from scouts and sentries to mascots and messengers.
Military Working Dogs today, or MWDs, take on either a single- or dual-purpose position during their term of service. Single-purpose dogs tend to be "all nose, no bite" and are utilized for their keen sense of smell. Most often they are trained to locate either drugs or explosives, and MWDs hold jobs that include searching for explosives, narcotics, missing people, casualties, landmines, and IEDs and other weapon caches. Dual- or multi-purpose dogs are trained to detect these as well but also take on patrol work responsibilities and are even sometimes used in elite special operations teams like the Navy Seals.
Whatever their role, the majority of MWDs are trained at the Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, the military's primary canine facility. Here, "Personnel conduct operational training of MWDhandlers and supervisors and sustain the [Department of Defense]MWD program through logistical support, veterinary care, and research and development for security efforts worldwide" according to the United States Air Force.
There are a lot of lives that have a hand (or paw!) in keeping our country safe. Each and every day, roughly 2,500 military working dogs are active in service with around 700 serving overseas at any given time. Their work is hard and unconditional and for that, we salute our four-legged friends.

We have had a long run of cold and rainy weather. As in overnight temperatures in the high 40's and low fifties, and close to 6 inches in one day, last week. I don't think the pink fittonia has grown an inch.
However, this variegated tradescantia is really thriving-the color is so beautiful. It almost looks like it is blooming. I will plant this again, no doubt.
The begonias have held up amazingly well in the cold rainy weather. The caladiums and alocasia are so so-I would guess they are shuddering from the cold.
The Persian Shield on this north wall is such a beautiful iridescent purple. In full sun, the leaves green up-the resulting purple/green mix is a muddy color. This pot is holding its own. I have had the Persian Shields grow 3 feet in a single season. Not this year.
This lavender New Guinea impatiens is completely out of bloom, but is setting buds. They hate chilly weather.
The nicotiana has had quite a bout with white fly. I can't remember ever dealing with that before. I sprayed the foliage with water every day. Who knows if that helped. The cold may have slowed them down. I don't see them anymore, but the nicotiana were damaged. The coleus is filling in for them.
The plants in this pot seems to be thriving.
The cool and rainy weather has not fazed the heuchera one bit. They have put on some weight. The geraniums have not been happy. They like it hot, and on the dry side. But these Caliente geraniums are bravely budding up. It is hard to keep a good plant down.
The scented geranium topiary is shedding interior leaves. This is a sign of water stress-either too much, or too little. The scotch moss is loving the sun, the rain, and the cool.
I have no complaints with the Italian olive jar. Every plant is bearing up, in spite of the unseasonably wet and cold weather.
Container plantings are a joy, and a trial. Our summer has been cold and cool-no tropical plant loves this. I keep hoping for that warm up that never comes. By this time of year, my deck pots are usually overflowing. Do I have any complaints? Not really.
I could be looking at this.
your posts are inspiring and informative.
i could use your help. you created a blog post that i read recently that i'm having trouble locating again. the images showed a red brick bungalow home where you had installed boxwoods at a front yard, creating a courtyard and you were talking about phases of installation. that everything is not done at once. i believe you showed a before and after, etc.
seeing that again could be very helpful to me.
if you could guide me to it, i'd be grateful.
I am amazed how well your mandevillea (or is mandevilla?) is doing, considering the cool weather … Also like the variegated tradescantia. I didn't know this plant, what a nice discovery. Thank you!
Oh I adore your blog so much!
we are having a terrible time here! (God may strike me dead while I am writing this…..I am in Montecito…..the amazing "microclimate" and garden captital…..of the world. We are having a drought…..and because of mismanagement (my opinion) by our "water board" it is a horrible mess here. Rain dances I try daily….
thank you for your lovely and inspirational blog! I adore it!!!
Plants do much better than we do!! (I think!) They "adapt" better than we do (I think)!!
I think you are getting our rain! Not much in July and nothing so far in Aug. Temps here in Madison have been great. And no bugs since no rain. Just don't know what kind of weather to expect anymore, no matter the season.
And I'm afraid we'll be looking at "this" sooner than we like!
Beautiful plantings and helpful commentary. You are so right about cool summers; I remember a few years ago we had such a cool summer that my tropical annuls never even grew, so this year I didn't plant any heat lovers.
Well. That kinda says it all doesn't it. I had that first moment yesterday where I projected myself one month into the future (Sept 17)….my favorite time of hear; two months into the future (Oct 17)….actually not so bad; three month into the future (Nov 17)….well, who knows?! Let's enjoy it while we can because it is slipping way…BIG TIME. My favorite moment on your deck right now….the Irish moss bumps….too charming for words.

James Ernest "Jim" Hurtubise (* 5. Dezember 1932 in North Tonawanda, New York; † 6. Januar 1989 in Port Arthur) war ein US-amerikanischer Autorennfahrer.

Karriere

Jim Hurtubise war einer der populärsten US-amerikanischen Monoposto-Rennfahrer der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre. Obwohl er die ganz großen Erfolge selten feiern konnte, war er bei den Rennfans äußerst beliebt. Sie nannten ihn einen Old-Style-Rennfahrer und bewunderten seine Kaltblütigkeit. Nach einem schweren Unfall beim Rex Mays Classic 1964, wo er schwere Verbrennungen an den Händen davontrug, eröffneten ihm die behandelnden Ärzte, dass seine Unterarme und Hände für immer deformiert blieben. Hurtubise antwortete ungerührt, dass man damit ja nur ein Lenkrad halten müsse. Insgesamt sollen 40 % seiner Hautoberfläche verbrannt sein; er verbrachte sechs Monate in einer Spezialklinik. Nach einem Jahr fuhr er wieder Rennen.

Von 1959 bis 1975 startete er 97-mal in der USAC-Meisterschaftsserie. Vier Mal, 1959 in Sacramento, 1960 in Langhorne sowie 1961 und 1962 in Springfield, wurde er als Sieger abgewinkt.

Zehn Mal war Hurtubise auch bei den 500 Meilen von Indianapolis am Start. Seine beste Platzierung war der 13. Rang 1962. 1968 pilotierte er das letzte Frontmotor-Rennfahrzeug bei diesem Rennen. Da das 500-Meilen-Rennen von 1950 bis 1960 zur Weltmeisterschaft der Formel 1 zählte, war sein Debütrennen 1960 gleichzeitig sein einziger Auftritt in dieser Rennserie.

Hurtubise war auch ein lustiger Zeitgenosse, seine Scherze waren legendär. Am 21. Mai 1972 schob er seinen abgedeckten, von Miller Bier gesponserten Rennwagen knapp vor 18 Uhr über die Ziellinie in Indianapolis. 18 Uhr war das Zeitlimit, innerhalb dessen die Rennwagen diese Linie überqueren mussten, um noch in die Qualifikation zu kommen. Aber er hatte keinen Motor im Auto, sondern fünf Bierboxen, deren Inhalt er lächelnd an Mechaniker, Offizielle und Rennfahrer verteilte. Eine Woche später qualifizierte er sich als Dreizehnter fürs Rennen.

Hurtubise, der auch bei 36 NASCAR-Rennen am Start war, von denen er eins gewinnen konnte, starb im Januar 1989 an einem Herzinfarkt.

iPhone embeds images to one users outlook client... why?
I have a client who used to always send images via email from his phone to his email so he had them on his laptop. For the last month, and possibly even since an office upgrade to Office365, his phone embeds the images into his emails instead of attaching them and I can't figure out how to stop it.
Initially I assumed it was an iPhone quirk but he can forward the same email to another user and it is attached to the other user.
If I attach an image to an email from my android and send it to him it shows up as attached to both of us.
Where on earth could I find a setting on either an iPhone or Windows 10 Outlook365 client that would create this issue I am seeing?
Just curious is he using the native iphone mail app or are they using outlook from iTunes?
I think you need to turn the messages into HTML.. it is on some other type right now.
Under FILE, OPTIONS, MAIL. "Compose Messages"
It may be in RTF format.
I believe as John points out it has to do with the way the email is composed..some say even the signature should be plain text.
experience with the Outlook App.
how would that explain that my email sees the attachment but his email sees the embedded image?
It doesn't explain why you cant see it but your Original post said... He send images to his OUTLOOK and HIS CELL... which imbeds images now.. which is a function of Rich Text Format vs. HTML vs. Plain Text.
**Did you ever fix it?
still working on it... I now have an Outlook 365 user with the same issue... she is sending random winmail.dat files to a couple people who never see it from any other contacts.

Everybody Loves Tatiana is the title of Angolan singer Tatiana Durão new single. Tatiana and I met years ago. She was the first celebrity who gave me the first shot when I started working as a make-up artist. We did work together in different occasions such as videos, fashion shows, photoshoots (including my first magazine cover).
Because she was present in all DV Makeup LDA moments, our company sponsored Tatiana´s make-up for her first solo show and the release of her new single.
Tatiana had big curly hair and sexy clothes. Therefore I decided to do a sexy make-up look, using glitter, inspired by her black dress.
LOVE, D.V.M.

I have had difficulties with using company visas in the previous and obtaining to have them stamped, but I have also identified folks that have utilised them for a long period of time and continue to do so without problem.

Martyrdom of a brave Ghanaian soldier
Even though to be a soldier means going to war to face battles and probably pay the supreme sacrifice in the process, soldiers need not die needlessly in their homeland through mob lynching as the case was with the late Captain Adam Mahama who was sadly mistaken for an armed robber by a mob in Denkyira Obuasi.
Where did this inordinate desire to lynch emanate from? I believe a carry-over from the infamous June 4th and 31st December movements of the Rawlings era.
Ghana prides itself in having finely trained and disciplined crop of soldiers who have distinguished themselves on the theatre of war during peacekeeping operations in places such as Congo DR, Lebanon, Liberia, Sierra Leone, East Timor, Rwanda, and Kosovo, and Bosnia, among others.
We heard glorious accounts of our forefathers who fought gallantly in the First and Second World Wars as part of the colonial West African Frontier Force which took part in war campaigns in places such as Burma, Cameroons, and East Africa.
Circumstances which led to the the death of the late Captain are sad indeed as there are many accounts but what stands out clearly was that he went jogging in the early morning of that fateful morning not clad in his military uniform. Even then, it is a known fact that soldiers and policemen are easily identified by their unique tunic as well as haircut and the way they present themselves. No one needs to tell you who a soldier is.
However, villagers could be ignorant and unlettered in identifying such markings. The dastardly deed is done as a precious life has been lost. What a great loss to the nation of being robbed of the services of a budding and promising soldier! It was to be, was it?
In my own estimation and analysis, the following are the remote causes leading to such mayhem, bedlam, and lawlessness.
-	Lack of strong directive political leadership at the top. We need a strong leadership style emanating from the top. Nkrumah and Rawlings exhibited strong leadership styles, though in those days they trampled on many human rights. Our state security institutions should show strong presence on the ground everywhere in the country. We can form para-military units who can be stationed in every district in Ghana. They should be well armed and operationalized by giving them transport such as jeeps and motorbikes. This para-military unit can create jobs and maintain law and order. We have such units in Nigeria and Zambia. There is even a discreet armed unit in mufti called Flying Squad. These units can undertake route marches and morning jogging sessions to instil some discipline in the communities.
-	School-leavers should be given compulsory military training for one year so that they become disciplined. It will keep them occupied. During such training, they can be deployed to work on farms or taught some skills
-	All quack pastors should be banned from preaching on radio and those rouble-rousers who talk ad-nausea on radio should be stopped from polluting the air waves and the minds of the youth as many of our young broadcasters are inexperienced and half-baked literates who blow hot air on the airwaves.
-	The quack and sham District Assembly as now composed should be called District Legislatures because the name DAs is tarnished and has connotations to the PNDC revolutionary era and as such the concept should be scrapped and we revert to the old local government system which should now be decentralised and made autonomous with power to generate their own revenue with grants and oversight from central government. Appointments should be on qualifications and merit and not on partisan basis.
-	Local Governments should have two chambers or bicameral with Lower and Upper Houses, with the Upper House made up of Senior Local Citizens
-	The Constitution of Ghana needs reform to give powers to local government to deal with Galamsay and land issues. We should form land police who will enforce all land laws and deal with issues to do with sanitation, environment, etc. Perhaps we need three police units namely, Land Police Unit (LPU), Sanitation Police Unit (SPU), and Environmental Protection Police Unit (EPPU)
-	The old concept of the Ghana Bureau of Languages under Nkrumah, and Centre for Civic Education under Busia should be revisited so that we can educate our communities of their rights, obligations, and enlighten them on civil and national developmental issues
-	The Ghana Armed Forces, The Ghana Police Force/Service should increase their public relations outfits and engage the public often so that they can sensitize the public about their operations, and strategic plans, mission statement etc
-	The police and armed forces should visit colleges and universities to do presentations and identify students to be recruited.
-	Each District in Ghana should have a well-equipped police station
-	A monument should be set up at the site where Captain Mahama met his untimely death to serve as reminder to all the people in the area and Ghana that such untoward acts are not to be entertained
-	Local Vigilante groups in Ghana should be registered and they should work under police supervision
Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton made the famous observation that he could calculate the orbits of heavenly bodies but he could not calculate the madness of crowds. Well, we all know that mob psychology is a potent and dangerous weapon. Let us all help educate our brothers and sisters about the tenets of the law so that in every situation, we follow the law instead of taking the law into our own hands. Such actions border on crudity, barbarism, and savagery. Ghana is a nation of laws. Let us dearly uphold our national motto of Freedom and Justice which is emblazoned on our coat of arms.

About Keeping Watch
Acclaimed as one of the most original talents to emerge in the last decade, award-winning author Laurie R. King returns to Folly Island to deliver her most stunning achievement yet–a breathtaking novel of suspense that explores the very essence of good and evil.
Allen Carmichael came back from Vietnam a lifetime ago–but only now was he ready to return home. For years, he's lived on the fringes of the law, using a soldier's skills to keep watch over those too young to defend themselves. Some consider him nothing but a kidnapper for hire–the best in the business; others call him a hero. His specialty has been rescuing children from abusive parents and escorting them to loving homes. But after twenty-five years, he is ready to take on his final case–a case that could destroy him.
The boy's name is Jamie: He believes his father is going to kill him. Allen is convinced that the twelve-year-old is right and devises a strategy to save him. His last job done, Allen heads back to Folly Island, where he plans to settle into a quiet life. But not long after his return, a small plane piloted by the boy's father's crashes, leaving behind debris–but no body. Now it is up to Allen to resolve whether Jamie's father is dead or alive–and to make sure Jamie himself stays out of harm's way. But a series of ominous events leads Allen to question whether Jamie's father is really the enemy after all. Or if the real threat is far more unspeakable…and the killer unimaginable.
Riveting, harrowing, and unforgettable, Keeping Watch takes psychological suspense to its most dizzying heights and proves again why Laurie R. King has been called by both readers and critics an undisputed master of suspense.

CINCINNATI — Pitchers and catchers report for spring training in Goodyear, Arizona next week. Before the first pitch is thrown, Cincinnati Reds clubhouse staffers were up at bat to ensure the equipment beats them there.
That equipment includes at least 10,000 baseballs, 1,000 bats and 120 batting helmets, all loaded onto a semi Tuesday morning. The packing for spring training is about as planned as the season itself.
The truck driver will embark on the 1,825-mile trek from Great American Ball Park to Goodyear Wednesday with the trip taking two to three days.
The truck is packed with 400 socks, 200 hoodies, 100 jerseys, 160 buckets of bubble gum and, of course, sunflower seeds.
"We take a skid of sunflower seeds. I would say there's no less than 100 cases of seeds," Walter said.
Reds staff and about 65 players will be at spring training for 45 straight days. Walter said preparing is key.
"We don't want to want for anything when we're out there," he said.
The Reds take extra of every piece of equipment. Once in Arizona, unloading the truck will only take about another hour.
The first full-squad workout for the Reds is Feb. 18. The first spring training game is Feb. 23 against the Cleveland Indians. Click here for the full preseason schedule.

Kentucky school shooting trial to be in different county
BENTON, Ky. (AP) — A Kentucky judge has ruled that the trial of a teenager accused of killing two schoolmates will be moved to another county.
News outlets report Marshall County Circuit Judge James Jameson on Friday granted a request sought by lawyers for 17-year-old Gabriel Parker. Parker is accused of shooting and killing Preston Cope and Bailey Holt and injuring 14 others at Marshall County High School on Jan. 23, 2018.
Marshall County Commonwealth's Attorney Dennis Foust said the June 2020 trial will be held in Christian County, about an hour away.
Defense lawyers requested the change of venue, citing heavy publicity and "sensational" allegations. They said members of the community have contact with the high school and the victims and their families. Foust said he felt the change of venue was the right thing to do.


At New Life Community Church we experience God through worship, community, and the teaching of His Word. We are always excited to welcome new people into our family, and we look forward to seeing you.
Both our 8:30 and 10:30 services last about 90 minutes and provide a casual environment in which we learn directly from God's Word, participate in contemporary worship, and share communion with all believers.
We would love to get to know you! Please join us for coffee and snacks in the Fellowship Hall between services on Sundays or for dinner on Wednesdays between 5:30 and 6:15.
From a three piece suit to jeans and a t-shirt, relax there's no dress code here. We just ask that your attire be respectful of the atmosphere and not distract others from their worship experience.
New Life Community Church loves kids! At our 8:30 service we provide a nursery for children birth through 35 months. Our 10:30 service provides a full Children's Ministry program for kids birth through 6th grade. When you arrive, kids will be checked-in at our Children's Ministry Welcome Center in the lower lobby where they will receive a name tag and you will be given a security pick-up tag.
When attending our 10:30 service, children 3 years and older will go with you to service so you can participate in worship together. All kids will be dismissed to their age appropriate classes before the message. Children are always welcome to remain in service with their family. If they get the wiggles and you're worried about being a distraction, the service streams to a TV in our lower lobby. You're welcome to take them there at any time.
We offer two semesters of Wednesday evening classes for children and adults. Our Winter/Spring semester runs February through May and the Summer/Fall semester runs August through December. Dinner is served in the Fellowship Hall from 5:30 – 6:15 and classes begin for all ages at 6:30. Check out Events for dates and classes offered.

Q: How to get value of data-flag Community, I have a select drop down which is trying to pass two variables to javascript.  The first variable is (source_id) and the second is (source_flag).
My select looks like the following...
<select id="ticket_source" name="ticket_source" onchange="showEmail(this)">
<option value="">Select Source</option>

I use query to populate remaining options.
$get_sources = mysql_query("select source_id, source_name, source_flag from ticket_source order by source_name ASC");
while(($source_list = mysql_fetch_assoc($get_sources)))
{
    echo '<option value="'.$source_list['source_id'].'" data-flag="'.$source_list['source_flag'].'">'.$source_list['source_name'].'</option>
}

<option value="0">Other</option>
</select>';

My javascript will make a hidden div appear.  I'm trying to obtain the value stored in the data-flag attribute, and I'm not quite sure if there is a certain route to do that.
function showEmail(element)
{
    var id = element.value;
    var divTwo = document.getElementById("ticket_source");
    var flag = divTwo.getAttribute('data-flag');
    alert(flag);
    // Do something with flag...
    var div = document.getElementById("received");
    if(id == 2 || id == 3 || id == 5)
    {
        div.style.display = 'block';
    }
    else
   {
       div.style.display = 'none';
   }
}

A: How about this in pure javascript
var flag =document.getElementById('ticket_source').options[select.selectedIndex].data-flag;

or
var flag =element.options[element.selectedIndex].data-flag;
var flag =element.options[element.selectedIndex].getAttribute('data-flag');

See Fiddle Here

A: Try this:
var flag = document.querySelector('#ticket_source').dataset.flag; // using javascript
var flag = $('#ticket_source').data('flag'); // using jquery

JSBIN Link: http://jsbin.com/ujiday/228/

A: In modern browsers you could do this
document.getElementById('myThing').dataset.flag

However, that won't work in non-HTML5 compliant browsers, so you'd want to use getAttribute like you've done in your code above.
Alternatively if you're using jQuery, Mohit Pandey's answer would be good.
Edit: Looking at your code, it also looks like you're trying to pull the data value from the select box, while in your PHP you're adding it to the options, which would explain why it was returning null/undefined.
