Race and attitudes toward the police Assessing the effects of watching ‘‘reality’’ police programs Sarah Eschholz, Brenda Sims Blackwell, Marc Gertz, Ted Chiricos Abstract Compared with Whites, African Americans generally have less positive attitudes toward the police (ATP) and this is most often attributed to the differential nature of citizen–police interaction experienced by Blacks and Whites. It has been suggested that the media play an important socializing role, in the form of ‘‘vicarious’’ police contacts, in generating ATP. To assess this possibility, this research examined the relationship between ATP and watching television news as well as ‘‘reality’’ crime programming, such as COPS and America’s Most Wanted. Data used in these analyses were taken from a 1996 survey of 1,492 adults residing in a southeastern metropolitan area. When other factors influencing ATP were controlled for in ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions, the frequency of watching news was positively related to ATP for Blacks and Whites alike, but watching ‘‘reality’’ crime programming improved ATP only for Whites, males, and those with no college experience. ‘‘Reality’’ crime programming increased the racial divide in ATP. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Cancel your credit card before you die..........(hilarious!)
Now some people are really stupid!!!! Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die. This is so priceless, and so, so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today. A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00 when she died, but now somewhere around $60.00. A family member placed a call to Citibank. Here is the exchange : Family Member: 'I am calling to tell you she died back in January.' Citibank : 'The account was never closed and the late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member : 'Maybe, you should turn it over to collections.' Citibank : 'Since it is two months past due, it already has been.' Family Member : So, what will they do when they find out she is dead?' Citibank : 'Either report her account to frauds division or report her to the credit bureau, maybe both!' Family Member : 'Do you think God will be mad at her?' Citibank: 'Excuse me?' Family Member : 'Did you just get what I was telling you - the part about her being dead?' Citibank : 'Sir, you'll have to speak to my supervisor.' Supervisor gets on the phone : Family Member : 'I'm calling to tell you, she died back in January with a $0 balance.' Citibank : 'The account was never closed and late fees and charges still apply.' Family Member : 'You mean you want to collect from her estate?' Citibank : (Stammer) 'Are you her lawyer?' Family Member : 'No, I'm her great nephew.' (Lawyer info was given) Citibank: 'Could you fax us a certificate of death?' Family Member : 'Sure.' (Fax number was given ) After they get the fax : Citibank : 'Our system just isn't setup for death. I don't know what more I can do to help.' Family Member : 'Well, if you figure it out, great! If not, you could just keep billing her. She won't care.' Citibank: 'Well, the late fees and charges will still apply.' (What is wrong with these people?!?) Family Member : 'Would you like her new billing address?' Citibank : 'That might help...' Family Member : 'Odessa Memorial Cemetery, Highway 129, Plot Number 69.' Citibank : 'Sir, that's a cemetery!' Family Member : 'And what do you do with dead people on your planet???' (Priceless!!) You wondered why Citi is going broke and need the feds to bail them out!! |

A child’s world can be very egocentric and views are skewed accordingly—if his mother left her husband and household, it is only natural that Michael would feel she has left him as well. For this purpose, I would like some solo time with Michael before meeting his father. I would utilize toys, drawings, and other child-friendly tools that are present in a school counselor’s office so that Michael could help me see this situation through his eyes. Using the National Career Development Guidelines, I could approach Michael’s issue from the appropriate angle when we bring the father in. For example, if he is feeling helpless, we could empower him by pointing out the fact that he is still growth in numerous ways, gaining strength and intelligence every day (Self-Knowledge). If he feels hopeless, we can point out his career options to remind him there are things in his future about which he can be excited (Career Planning). Once he is excited about the future, we can help him understand that good grades now will make all those things possible and motivate him develop better study and work habits. Even though dad is busy providing for him, these are things they could talk about when they are together. Having a parent in on these wonderful dreams and goals may provide a sense of security in Michael where one has been lacking, permitting him to merely focus on being a kid who is growing up.

1.Locate the headlight under the hood. This is the passenger side headlight.
2. Disconnect this plug by pulling it toward the rear of the vehicle. 3. Remove the rubber gasket by pulling the tab on the bottom. 4. There is a wire bail holding the headlamp in the socket. Move it by pushing the handle toward the front of the vehicle, then pull it up to disengage. (Much like a safety pin.) 5. Pull the headlight directly backwards out of the socket. 6. The now empty socket. 7. Locate the 3 tabs on your new headlight. The big tab goes to the top. The headlight should only fit in the socket with the big tab facing up. Try not to touch the glass on the headlamp. 8. Replace the components in the reverse of the removal diagrams. 9. The driver's side installation is the same with the exception of removing an air intake. It pulls off with a little effort. 10. Make sure all your connections work before closing the hood. Make certain you replace the air intake on the drivers side before you close the hood! This is from an old thread.....unfortunately the pictures that went with it were lost in a server crash. |
