If you like anything at all on the Kranky label, you will like Aarktica. Soft, gentle, and painfully beautiful, Aarktica sounds like the post-climatic parts of a Godspeed You Black Emperor! song (if GYBE! stopped hating America and fell in love with someone), but you don't miss the climax at all.

I agree that the findings of the study are not entirely a surprise. Similar studies have been conducted before
and consistently show the same results in that many employers (including minority employers) show preference
on racial lines at all stages of the hiring process.
Fortunately, such discrimination is already illegal; however, it is difficult to pinpoint violations because
the law requires that an offense be intentional and demonstrable. In a 2002 study conducted by two professors
from the University of Chicago and MIT that utilized racially indicative names (i.e. there was a "Brad" and a
"Tyrone") submitted with resumes of equal qualification. The study recorded how many of the applicants
received callbacks or interviews based on resumes where the only significant difference was in the name. In
findings consistent with this new Princeton study, it showed that applicants with "white-sounding" names were
50% more likely to receive a call for an interview than those with "black-sounding" names. What's more
interesting in the context of this new study involves the apparent lack of impact of the credentials of
applicants on the stigma of being an ex-convict. To bolster the comparison between blacks and white ex-
convicts offered by the Princeton article, the former study found that the positive impact of the(identical)
credentials of those with "white-sounding" names was far greater than that of those with "black-sounding
names" on the chances of getting an interview. Just an interesting comparison I thought was poignant to this
topic.
It seems, however, that studies like this do little to address the issue of racial discrimination in hiring
practices beyond shining a glimmer upon it every five years. Greater accountability of employers through
rigorous audits of this kind with actual penalties for violations would perhaps be prudent.

Comment by Coach Outlet Online — November 17, 2011 @ 12:56 amThe Hawks have struggled to fill the void at point guard for years with no success, but Bayless could be the missing piece to the puzzle. The Hawks will save $4 million in salary and could be in good financial shape if they find a taker for Hinrich or possibly waiving Marvin Williams.The Raptors will receive a leader and defensive monster whose presence alone could take them to the playoffs.
