[scifinoir2] Study: Black Men, White Ex-Cons Have Equal Job Prospects

Study: Black Men, White Ex-Cons Have Equal Job Prospects
http://www.nbc17.com/money/4620844/detail.html
POSTED: 8:53 am EDT June 17, 2005

NEW YORK -- A new study says black men with no criminal histories are about
as likely to be offered jobs in New York City as white men with felony
convictions.

The study, released by the city Commission on Human Rights, finds employers
call back black men who present resumes with no criminal background 16
percent of the time -- about as often as white men who report criminal
histories.

Meanwhile, blacks with convictions in their past were called back 6 percent
of the time. Whites with clean records were offered jobs 21 percent of the
time.

The study, led by sociology professors at Princeton University, followed 13
men on 3,500 job interviews over the course of a year beginning in February
2004.

The men posed as high school graduates with similar credentials and applied
for such jobs as deli clerks, telemarketers and cashiers.

On some interviews, candidates told employers they had spent 18 months in
prison on a drug conviction.

Princeton University sociology professor Bruce Western helped conduct the
study. He told the New York Daily News that employers are hesitant to trust
young black men.

[scifinoir2] Re: Grandfather kills leopard with his hands

2005-06-23 Thread Amy Harlib

  Mind boggling!  Truth is stranger than fiction!  Shows you what a lifetime of 
healthy physical labor and adrenalin can do for you!


  Grandfather kills leopard with his hands Wed Jun 22,11:42 AM ET

  A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking
  leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday.

  Peasant farmer Daniel M'Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in
  a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long grass
  and leapt on him.

  M'Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down
  the leopard's mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal's tongue,
  leaving it in its death-throes.

  It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping, he
  told the daily Standard newspaper of how the leopard came at him and knocked
  him over.

  The leopard sank its teeth into the farmer's wrist and mauled him with its
  claws. A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the
  panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide open mouth. I obeyed,
  M'Mburugu said.

  As the leopard was dying, a neighbor heard the screams and arrived to finish
  it off with a machete.

  M'Mburugu was toasted as a hero in his village Kihato after the incident
  earlier this month. He was also given free hospital treatment by astonished
  local authorities.

  This guy is very lucky to be alive, Kenya Wildlife Service official Connie
  Maina told Reuters, confirming details of the incident

[scifinoir2] Re: Say Researchers: 'Blade II' is a Bad Film

2005-06-23 Thread Amanda
So that means film such as The Legend of 1900 are bad films.  Or just 
that people like to watch bland blockbusters.

--- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, Brent Wodehouse 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050613/full/050613-1.html
 
 Published online: 14 June 2005
 
 Modellers measure 'word of mouth' for films
 
 Mark Peplow
 
 Mathematics calculates quality of sleeper hits and movie bombs.
 
 
 It's official, says one group of researchers: Blade II is a bad 
film.
 Their study turns patterns of attendance into a single number that 
claims
 to grade a film's quality1.
 
 The number attempts to gauge of how good the 'word of mouth' was 
around a
 given film, based on the behaviour of the harshest critics of all, 
the
 paying public.
 
 César Hidalgo, now a graduate student in physics at the University 
of
 Notre Dame, Indiana, and his colleagues, decided to study the 'word 
of
 mouth' effect in the film world simply because reviews often have a 
huge
 impact on audience numbers and there are copious data on ticket 
sales.
 
 Hidalgo, along with Carlos Rodriguez-Sickert, an economist at the
 Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Santiago, and Alejandra 
Castro of
 the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, constructed a mathematical 
equation
 that approximates box-office takings in the weeks after release. 
They
 assume that revenue relies on three major factors: the size of the
 possible audience, the initial desire of audience members to see 
the film
 (which is often dictated by the amount spent on marketing and 
publicity),
 and audience response to the film.
 
 The team then plugged arbitrary numbers into their simple equation 
to
 create dozens of graphs describing weekly box-office results for a 
film
 during its cinema lifetime. If the marketing weighed in heavily, for
 example, but audience reviews were poor, the resulting graph would 
peak in
 the first week and then plummet. If the reviews were good, however, 
the
 graph would keep climbing.
 
 When they compared their graphs with actual box-office data 
(available on
 the Internet Movie Database) for 44 recent films, they found good 
matches
 for films ranging from huge blockbusters to budget flicks. It was a
 surprise that the model behaved nicely for all different 
behaviours, and
 was not just a coincidence for some of them, says Hidalgo.
 
 
 Staying power
 
 The team says that the review coefficient (the word-of-mouth 
component of
 their equation) is a rough indicator of the film's quality.
 
 The comedy Kissing Jessica Stein, for example, can be modelled 
using a
 large, positive review coefficient. It started with initially poor
 attendance, but increased its box-office take over the following 
five
 weeks owing to good reports from the audience. In contrast, Blade 
II looks
 like a classic bomb: a large negative review coefficient matches 
its quick
 dive in takings.
 
 It's a fun paper, says Gerben Bakker, an economic historian who 
studies
 Hollywood marketing at the University of Essex, UK. But it's quite 
a
 basic model. They don't consider a lot of the complications.
 
 Bakker says that the model could be improved by factoring in the 
effect of
 a film's availability on its box-office take, for example. Many 
people who
 would like to see a particular low-budget film are unable to 
because it is
 not playing in a local cinema, he says.
 
 
 Show me the money
 
 Good quality films don't always win financially, even if they do 
have more
 staying power. A bigger initial interest in Blade II meant that its
 overall box-office take was more than ten times greater than that of
 Kissing Jessica Stein, which took just US$7 million in the United 
States.
 
 Big blockbusters are often simultaneously distributed to more than 
3,000
 cinemas in the United States, explains John Sedgwick, a media 
economist at
 London Metropolitan University, UK. So a film generally does enough
 business in its first two weeks to recoup its costs, which is the 
first
 priority of the studio.
 
 However, about 70% of film revenue now comes from outside the box 
office,
 he adds. The rise in home video and DVD sales, along with toys and 
other
 products, means that pleasing the audience is ever more important 
for a
 film's overall financial success.
 
 Hidalgo adds that thinking of films this way should help studios to 
decide
 whether to commission a sequel. Even high-grossing films can be 
deeply
 unpopular with the audience, which dooms their cinematic offspring, 
he
 says.
 
 If only they'd thought of that before commissioning the third in 
the Blade
 series.

The problem is Hollywood is making these films.  And not just that, 
they are making films to target a mass audience.  Not always a good 
way to make a film good.  No offense to audiences, but when you make 
films like that you end up making a bland movie.  You try not to 
offend people, have people feeling left out etc.

I ended up watching the whole show. It was good, and I was pretty much

As always with the AFI lists (which i follow), I'm always aware of how 
few Blacks make the list. I think They call me Mr. Tibbs! was possibly

the only quote spoken by a Black actor in the whole list!  Note that

RE: [scifinoir2] What are Good Fantasy Books for Black Youth to Read

2005-06-23 Thread Keith Johnson
What age range? Do you have issues with magic, sorcery, demons, etc? Do
the books need to have a moral?  Specifically fantasy here, not hard
scifi?

I'm trying to find fantasy books that black youth could read.  They 
don't have to be by or about African Americans, but I would like to 
find those as well.  Also what about African etc?

A Wrinkle In Time series. I still love that today, and I think it was the first 
fantasy/sci-fi book I ever read. Also, the Earthsea series. 

My nephew is 15, and he reads the junior and the actual Wheel of Time series by 
Robert Jordan

Hope these help.
