DITCH LILIES
Ditch Lilies chronicles street youth in late 1980's Pittsburgh, when Downtown's major avenues hopped with vice and depravity. The homeless and displaced kids who find themselves at the center of its sensual squalor put survival first with consequences left to chance. Daimey is the young urban emperor struggling to not cave to the inner decay of life on Liberty Avenue. His partner, Kat, is just looking for a life not her own. At the crossroads of priorities and personal demons, the decisions they make shape far more than their individual journeys. Culturally diverse and explicit, Ditch Lilies is rich with gritty travels that sometimes end in redemption, and sometimes not.

Why didn't they vote? The results are summarized into five types of nonvoters: doers, unplugged, irritable, don't knows and alienated.
Abracadabra
BAG OF TRICKS Eleven-year-old Juice Smith's favorite place in the whole world was the old abandoned Wilner Theatre. There on its dark and dusty stage she could pretend to be "Juice the Magnifico" performing magic with her bag of tricks. Her grandfather, a long-time member of the local Sleights-of-Hand, had given her a special skeleton key, and to Juice's surprise it fit right in the lock of the ornate old trunk that had been left backstage … BLACK MAGIC The Sleights-of-Hand were furious when they discovered at their next meeting that Nat Smith had given his skeleton key–the skeleton key–to his granddaughter. Nat wondered what they could possible be afraid of after all these years. But one by one over the next few weeks, the venerable members of the Sleights-of-Hand would find their magical talents failing them at crucial–and gruesome–moments. And Nat would discover there was good reason to be afraid. Very afraid.

"A typical presidential election campaign in Latin America sees between one-third and one-half of all voters changing their vote intentions across party lines in the months before election day-numbers unheard of and rarely seen in older democracies.

Describing and examining social networks of political discussion, the authors propose that everyday social communication is the hidden a...
