More Information From PIE-Up:
I didn't get everything straight when I sent out Thomas Padilla's contact information yesterday.
Actually, Padilla was mentioned in connection with the Digital Humanities, and work on audio collections and searches.  Here is contact information for Thomas Padilla:  http://libguides.lib.msu.edu/profile.php?uid=96099

In relation to human trafficing and slavery and the music project,  The work has a site here: Cuatro Corridos http://cuatrocorridos.com/. The soprano who envisioned and initiated this project is Susan Narucki, and they will be performing it as part of "Latin Is America", spring 2015.  Right now, Molly Fillmore, Music, and Jane White in Criminal Justice, and soon, Jeff Grabill and Bill Hart-Davidson (WRAC) will be taking the lead on MSU's involvement. Molly and Mark Sullivan met with Hi Fitzgerald yesterday, and he gave them several more names, and offered some staff help, and suggested they reach out to Detroit. Jane White, and the MSU Task Force already have contacts with the U of M College of Law, and with people at Wayne State. 

Did you know MSU School of Criminal Justice and College of Social Work coordinate the Michigan Human Trafficing Task Force?   http://www.humantrafficking.msu.edu/index.html

Share this:  Big Bill Broonzy was born in the Arkansas Delta and headed north in the Great Migration after World War I. He was the leading Chicago bluesman of the 1930s—fusing traditional rural blues with the electrified urban sound. He brought the blues to Europe and was a major figure in the folk revival of the ’50s before his untimely death in 1958.

He was a great man, and one of the great musical artists of the twentieth century, as well as an intellectual, a term usually given to college people. I think he was genuinely reaching out all his life to different people.

Shared by Rick Cole:

I don’t know if this is something that fits the scope and mission of your blog, but it is certainly something that you will enjoy.

I have included a description of what I see as the value of the linked video — a description that I sent to my daughters and their mates in the hope that they will watch it.   

The link below will connect you with a 30 minute comprehensive and simple explanation of the economy that Deb and I discovered after watching Charlie Rose interview Ray Dalio — one of the country’s richest and most interesting guys — be interviewed on CBS. On the macro level, it explains the difference between the function of government (which provides goods and services and redistributes wealth to varying degrees) and the independent role of the “central bank” which controls interest rates and is responsible for printing money.  On a micro-economic or personal level, it provides four principles, which if incorporated into personal or business goals will provide a pretty simple basis for understanding “Uncle Jack’s Rule” — something he told me a couple of decades ago that applies to individuals, businesses and governments.  “The secret is to always have a little more coming in than you have going out.”  This is probably the most significant of all the economic principles I have ever heard and, at various times in our personal and business cycles, can provide guidance in developing investing, debt and spending priorities.  I hope you’ll take the time to watch it. It’s elegant in its simplicity.
