Paul Krikman, Noted Prize-Winning Economist, announced today that economists have discovered that money is the source of all wealth. "It was in front of us the whole time," he said in a wide-ranging interview, "I don't know how we didn't realize it. It was it was right in front of our noses."
When asked what the tipoff was that got him looking in the right place, he said, "I'm embarrassed to say it, but I couldn't help but notice that the main difference between rich people and everyone else is that they have more money. That was the tipoff.
"Of course, this immediately led to a whole bunch of other obvious things," he continued. "For instance, all we have to do to create wealth and prosperity is to print more money!"
"Why do people work? To make money. What is a Recession? Not enough money. What is Capitalism? Concentrating too much money in too few people's hands. You see, this is easy. Don't print that! We have to complicate things so that people will still pay pundits and economists like me."
One reporter asked, "Isn't wealth created by taking raw materials — concrete objects or knowledge — and building them into things that are more valuable than their constituent parts?"
"That's old-fashioned thinking," Dr. Krikman replied. "That's so analog and 20th Century. We're in the digital age. We create value by doing cool stuff. Then the money just materializes. We call it 'monetizing our site.' What could be cooler than printing money? It's so pretty, especially the redesigned bills. Very impressive. They even feel valuable!"
"But what about the people who will say that it's just paper?" He drew himself up out of his slouch and puffed up his chest. His voice deepened. He scratched his beard and put on the earnest face he'd practiced so much. "It's guaranteed by the Full Faith And Credit Of the United States Of America!" "Guaranteed?" reporters asked. "Yes, if some ignorant people were to lose faith in it, we would print more."
"Besides, we don't have to only print it. We can take it away from those rich people who have much more of it than they deserve, more than they can ever use. The myth that they've earned it and it's theirs is nonsense. In most cases, their grandparents earned it. It's only money. They'll continue to make more of it. They produce a lot of stuff. That's what productive people do. They produce. They can't help it. Their greed drives them. That's why we call them Greedy Capitalists. Besides, taking money from them makes the rest of the people feel good. We'll make them feel even better by calling it Social Justice, or Redistribution of Wealth. Robin Hood had no PR savvy: he talked about robbing the rich. Talk about highway robbery just gets fair-minded people upset. Better to call it "redistribution" or "justice."
"If you will indulge me for a moment, let me tell you an interesting story. In the old days, people used to practice division of labor. They'd get good at what they liked to do, then trade stuff they made for stuff that other people made. So, the baker would trade loaves of bread for vegetables the farmer grew, or for a haircut, or for drinks or other unmentionables at the saloon. They called it trading or barter. How quaint. That was before the internet.
"But it was hard to carry around a lot of loves of bread, and not everybody needed a haircut. They found that it was much more convenient to take the stuff they made and trade it for some interim stuff that everybody valued and that was easy to carry around. After trying salt, butter, chickens, beads, pretty stones and some other stuff, they found that gold and silver was durable, divisible, combinable, portable, had a stable supply and was hard to counterfeit. So it was a pretty good intermediary.
"They called it a "medium of exchange" — Cash or Money for short. They pressed it into coins because lumps of it wore holes in their britches, were difficult to count and easy to cheat with. Even coins were sometimes inconvenient to carry and store, so they had some of their more trusted people, called trusts or banks — whose stock in trade was trust in their word — hold their coins and issue receipts that substituted temporarily for the coins, but were easily exchangeable back into the silver and gold coins. In the US we called these dollars, but every country had their own. They became very decorative and a great source of pride. Each bank issued its own, guaranteed only by the demonstrated track record that its issuers would cash it back for what they called Coin or face some pretty stringent fraud laws. Trusts would even loan out some of this money for a fee. Sometimes, they could even loan out a little more than they had because not everyone would want to redeem their receipts at the same time. If word got out that they loaned out more than they could redeem in Coin, people would lose confidence in them and everyone would run to the bank to withdraw their money. They called it a 'run on the bank.'
"To protect their citizens, and to engage in some cheating — I mean 'monetary policy' — of their own, some countries formed central banks owned by the government, to print money so they could spend more than they had. But our Thomas Jefferson was a wiseass. He had this quaint old notion called individual rights. At the heart of it was the silly idea that people owned what they called "the fruits of their labor." Property for short.
Tom said,
A private central bank issuing the public currency is a greater menace to the liberties of the people than a standing army…We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt."
The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution. I am an Enemy to all banks discounting bills or notes for anything but Coin. If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered.
"How silly," Dr. Krikman opined. "Tom didn't know what he was talking about. Nowadays, if we want to be wealthy, all we have to do is print money, or borrow it from our neighbors or from our children through national debt."
"Won't people eventually catch on that it's a fraud, an illusion, and refuse to accept it, or keep raising their prices?" we asked.
"All we have to do is pass a 'legal tender law' that requires that our money be accepted be accepted for all debts, public or private, and print it right on the money. That makes it illegal to write contracts payable only in gold or silver."
"It used to be called 'fiat money,' but that's an old-fashioned term that shouldn't be used anymore because all fiat money, first invented in the Song Dynasty in 1000 AD, for 1000 years have collapsed, usually in hyperinflation." (He was a bit of a show-off.)
"Instead, we'll call it 'monitory policy' or 'flexibility' or 'deficit spending.' It will allow government to spend more than it takes in, and give people the illusion that their elected officials are giving them services they don't have to pay for, guaranteeing their reelection. Even the politicians who know it's wrong will vote for this when it preserves their jobs.
"We'll allow banks to lend out 10-40 times what they hold in these unbacked dollars, so that they can further create the illusion of prosperity. If the bubble bursts, we'll blame in on the financial institutions who were so irresponsible for using the leverage we required them to use. If anyone calls it legalized cheating, we'll call them ideologues."
"In the meantime, prices will gradually creep up, since we keep printing more dollars. Remember our new discovery: dollars are wealth. So, as prices rise, things like our houses are becoming more valuable, we are making more wages and we are wealthier because we have more dollars. The stock market will rise dramatically. There are more and more millionaires. It's like a gigantic magic illusion. No one will realize that gold, their houses or even their bank accounts aren't growing and getting more valuable, the dollar is shrinking, so prices go up and things look like they are worth more."
"If someone calls this an illusion, or even a fraud, we'll say it's treasonous talk from the right-wing loons. If they start a movement or a party to oppose government spending, printing of money, fiscal irresponsibility, national debt and the like, remember that these people are bound to be independent thinkers. They are bound to have some radical ideas that sound crazy and some people who are genuine nuts. Just seize on these genuine crazies and use them to marginalize the serious questions being raised."
"Also, the lack of fiscal discipline caused by printing money will cause periodic crises. We can use every crisis to claim that the sky is falling. No one can prove that the sky isn't falling. We can say that we haven't spent enough, borrowed enough and regulated enough, and that have fallen victims to the greedy villains who have taken advantage of us. In fact, let's use the slogan, 'Never let a crisis go to waste."
"If our policies and action fail, we can always say we didn't do enough of whatever it was that failed: not enough stimulus, not enough spending, not enough regulation, not enough taxes."
"If we fall into a severe recession or depression, we can always create more wealth by creating more money, which is the same thing. Let's call it a 'stimulus package.'"
"If people save gold and silver, we can always confiscate it from them like Roosevelt did in 1933. The laws that allowed him to do it are still on the books."
"We'll call it Hoarding and make savings unsavory by calling it unproductive."
"Anyway, now that the government has taken over issuing money from the banks, when it needs more money and people balk at more taxes or borrowing, all we have to do is print it."
- Money equals Wealth. Mock anyone who asks where wealth comes from.
- The way to stimulate an economy is to, well, stimulate it. Duh! If people and businesses won't, the government has to, or the sky will fall. Duh!
- If the stimulus doesn't work, we will just say we didn't do it big enough — the opposing party wouldn't let us. We can say that if we hadn't, the sky would have fallen, that we saved [fill in any number here] jobs, etc.
- Keynes was right. Roosevelt spent us out of our Great Depression. Capitalists are greedy evildoers; just look at our well-connected, government protected bankers and other financial institutions. No one is actually going to study these things. Economics is too complicated for anyone to understand.
- Keep repeating: Economics is beyond human comprehension; that's why it must be left up to Congress.
- "There's no such thing as a free lunch" is so retro and analogue. Of course there is: It's free if I eat your lunch. You're too fat anyway. I'm doing you a favor.
- We're safe, now that we've eliminated the old boom-and-bust cycles. Hide all graphs that show that the old ones were not as severe as the newer ones. While we're at it, hide all graphs that show the purchasing power of gold, silver and dollars, like the purchase price of the average American House, in gold vs. dollars. They will show what really fluctuates. Wait a minute. In the Digital Age, we can't hide information. So make the graphs so complex that nobody understands them. Keep quoting Keynes. Nobody is going to slog through his
dense gibberishsubtly nuanced writing.
- Keep wrapping the Federal Reserve in mystery. We all know that it couldn't operate under the light of day. We can trust it because it's a government-protected private corporation that's entitled to manipulate our money in private. We know that transparency leads to nakedness. And we all know what nakedness leads to.
- But, keep calling for greater transparency for Wall Street.
- Freedom causes chaos. Chaos causes anarchy. What we need is total control. They will scream "Socialism, Fascism, Nazism." That's what we want. Dismiss them as name-callers. Don't ever ask what they mean. They're not as socially savvy as we are, so they'll keep using the inflammatory words like "socialism and fascism" instead of just using the phrase 'total governmental control.' The search for clarity can lead to dictionaries. Dictionaries lead to definitions. And, we all know that definitions are arbitrary, make us look pedantic, and lead to headaches. Jeering and mocking makes us look flamboyant and hip. Spouting precise definitions makes us look boring. In the world of infotainment, who do you think will win?
- Let's not have a serious discussion about new things that are now possible in the digital age: whether there is an alternative to government control vs. roving gangs of thugs and where does wealth really come from. What is money? Is central governmental regulation even possible as presently conceived? Is there a better way?
OK, enough satire. I think you can see what a persuasive and powerful tactic it can be.
Without it, the following questions would fall flat:
Where is the serious discussion? Where is the mutual respect? Why so much mockery, ridicule and sarcasm? Since when has name-calling replaced problem-solving, mutual exploration, rational fact-finding and creative idea generation? Why are we debating past history when the world has totally changed? Where are the new ideas and incisive questions?
Why are we having a debate about whether we need to do more of what isn't working vs. going back to what we did in the past that also didn't work?
Why is bipartisanship so desirable when both parties are obviously wrong? Why in the middle always right? What if there is an altogether different way that isn't on the continuum?
Why aren't we asking, "Where are all these new problems coming from and how can we use our amazing new capabilities to solve them in new ways?"
Can we please have a serious exploration of new ideas in which it's OK to say, "I don't know, but let's figure it out together"

21st Century Learning | Feature
In a companion piece to a popular article on the history of educational technology, we trace the trends of the present and look to the future, all with an eye toward helping districts find the right device for their classrooms.
In June 1997, THE Journal published an article called "Computers in Education: A Brief History." That article is still one of the most popular on our website, but — to put it mildly — a lot has changed in ed tech since then. This is less a sequel to that article than a companion piece that dips back into the past, traces the trends of the present and looks to the future, all with an eye toward helping districts find the right device for their classrooms.
When thinking about the role of technology in education, the logical starting point is exploring why the connection between computers and education was ever made in the first place. My starting point is Logo, an educational programming language designed in 1967 at Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) by Danny Bobrow, Wally Feurzeig, MIT professor Seymour Papert and Cynthia Solomon. This language was a derivative of the AI programming language LISP, and ran on the PDP-1 computers from Digital Equipment Corp. Seymour Papert had studied with constructivist pioneer Jean Piaget, and felt that computers could help students learn more by constructing their own knowledge and understanding by working firsthand with mathematical concepts, as opposed to being taught these concepts in a more directed way.
In 1973 the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center introduced the Alto computer, designed as the world's first personal computer. At Xerox, Papert's push to turn kids into programmers led to the development of Smalltalk — the first extensible, object-oriented programming language — under the direction of Alan Kay. Because these early computers were captive in the research lab, local students were brought in to explore their own designs.
Another path to educational technology began that same year, when the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) was started in an old warehouse in Minneapolis. Part of the state's educational software push, the original programs were simulations designed for a timeshare system running on a mainframe, with terminals placed in schools. Using this system, students could take a simulated journey along the Oregon Trail, for example, and learn about the importance of budgeting resources and other challenges that faced the early pioneers. Another simulation let the students run a virtual lemonade stand. Years later, the MECC software was rewritten for early personal computers.
In the early days, educational computing was focused on the development of higher-order thinking skills. Drill-and-practice software only became commonplace much later, with the release of inexpensive personal computers. By the late 1970s, personal computers came to market and started showing up in schools. These included the Commodore PET (1977) and Radio Shack TRS-80 (1977), among many other systems. But the computer that ended up having the greatest impact on schools at the time was the Apple II, also introduced in 1977. One characteristic of the Apple II was that it used floppy disks instead of cassette tapes for storing programs and also supported a graphical display, albeit at a low level. The first generation of computers in schools was not accompanied by very much software, though. The customer base was not yet big enough to justify the investment.
The Uses of Ed Tech, Past and Present
In 1980, Robert Taylor wrote a book, The Computer in the School: Tutor, Tool, Tutee. The underlying idea in this book was that students could use computers in three different ways: 1) As a tutor running simulations or math practice, for example; 2) as a tool for tasks like word processing; or 3) as a tutee, meaning the student teaches the computer to do something by writing a program in Logo or BASIC. This model touches on several pedagogical models, spanning from filling the mind with information to kindling the fire of curiosity. Even though technologies have advanced tremendously in the intervening years, this model still has some validity, and some contemporary technologies are better suited for some pedagogies than others.
After decades of desktop and laptop computers, we have added a host of new tools: smartphones, tablets and Chromebooks, to name just a few. The long-time dream of 1-to-1 computing seems to be coming true in schools all over the world, and is even being eclipsed by those who have more than one computing device. For example, I travel with a laptop, tablet, smartphone and Chromebook. While my case may be a bit extreme, many kids have two or three devices in their backpacks.
The problem that arises is when schools or districts decide to choose a single technology for large-scale adoption in a traditional 1-to-1 program. With so many options on the table, the desire to grab hold of the next shiny thing has pushed some deeper questions into the background. For decades, I have argued that the process of choosing computers for school use needs to be driven by the answers to these questions: 1) What is the educational objective? 2) What software meets that objective? 3) What platform(s) run the desired software?
In other words, educators need to start at the beginning — the things teachers hope to accomplish in schools — and then move to thinking about technology, with software driving hardware selections. There are two reasons that this process is important: First, these tools are expensive and schools need to get as much use out of them as possible. Second, time in the classroom is a scarce commodity, and it needs to be used wisely.
Choosing the Right Device
With all the new devices on the market today, choosing just one can appear overwhelming, but there is a process that brings some order to the task. The tool I will use is the SWOT diagram, which lays out strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. SWOT was originally designed for analyzing companies, but it works for our purposes as well.
The basic idea is that there are external forces (strengths and weaknesses) as well as internal forces (opportunities and threats) that apply to every technology you're considering for school use. While cost and trendiness are two factors influencing device purchases today, these are really secondary to the core issue: How will these devices be used to improve education in your school or district?
I will provide a brief SWOT analysis for four kinds of computing devices found in schools today, but this analysis is purely for demonstration purposes. Parts of the process are subjective, so you will need to create your own analyses, and not just rely on what I provide. The real power comes when this process happens in a school or district setting and includes teachers, technology coordinators, administrators and, in some cases, students. The devices we will look at include: laptops, smartphones, tablets and Chromebooks, with the understanding that, as new technologies come to market, the same process should be used with them.

Looking Toward the Future
The world of educational computing devices is far from static. Today's tech community is paying a lot of attention to wearable technologies, some of which communicate with other tools we might have, like smartphones.
One of the most prominent devices in this new market is Google Glass, which mounts on glasses, accepts voice commands and has a small (but high-resolution) display positioned over one eye. While it is hard to see how this device can address educational needs, it has the advantage of letting the user look forward to see both the real and computer-based world at the same time. Perhaps, for example, while a teacher was giving a presentation on the history of the Middle Ages, students with Google Glass could, while watching the presentation, also be bringing up online resources on the topic.
Smartwatches are also proliferating. These may start out being seen as more of a distraction than as a positive tool, since they deflect students' eyes and ears from the classroom to a small device that functions as a watch, music player, messaging tool and even as a portal to the Web. As new wearable technologies are introduced, including bracelets or even "smart" rings, educators are likely to see these devices as distractions, too. This is a logical conclusion to reach right now — but it doesn't change the fact that someday, a wearable device might prove to be a hugely useful educational tool.
This all brings us back to the beginning, with the ideas of Seymour Papert and his colleagues who saw computers as tools that students could use to explore rich topics through their own constructions. While technologies have advanced tremendously since the 1960s, our pedagogical models have not. With the rise of new standards that support more constructivist models of education, we can help our students most by applying the old ideas to the new tools, something that most technologies used in schools today are capable of doing. We make a big mistake when we think the new tools, by themselves, impact learning. The coolest tools are those that let students learn in ways that result in lifelong intellectual development.

He's a mod mariner, the Gucci man for next winter's storms.
This Gucci sailor cuts a boxy figure in the peacoat that anchors the collection. This version in a rich, knotty texture is achieved by working a traditional Tuscan fabric with neoprene.
The looks previewed Monday, the second day of Milan Fashion Week, have a definite 1960s vibe, with loose fitting short jackets and generous sweatshirts paired with slim fitting trousers, and worn with solidly soled shoes.
Creative director Frida Giannini's palate of dusty pastels creates a mood of a just-calmed storm and lends smoky contrast to the perfect black that permeates the collection.
Giannini fully exploits Gucci's roots as a leatherwear company with many leather pieces, from a dusty blue biker jacket accented with silver zippers to the dusty rose shirt layered over a turtleneck.
The collection finished with dark evening wear, including a tuxedo coat with leather lapels modeled by Fabien Alain Delon, the son of that 1960s icon, French film star Alain Delon.
Ready to set sail, the Gucci mariner tucks an oversized duffel or folded shopper with bamboo handles under his arm, dons his seafarer's cap, in cloth or leather with a smart leather braid around the crow, and sails off into the sunrise, not squinting behind his round Gucci sunglasses.

Press Release
NEW YORK – When consummately curious comedian/host/actor Joe Rogan is on the case, nothing stops him from barreling headfirst into uncovering the truth – not to mention misinformation – behind life's most startling theories and unexplained mysteries.
In Syfy's newest unscripted series, Joe Rogan Questions Everything, premiering July 24 at 10 PM ET/PT, anything could happen when Joe blends his unique brand of comedic insight and hard research to leave no expert or eyewitness un-interrogated, no forest un-scoured and no piece of evidence unexamined in his passionate quest to get to the bottom of the most unorthodox theories out there.
After exploring these extreme theories and mysteries for years on his popular podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," Joe now takes his inquisitive nature on the road, crisscrossing the country and knocking on any door necessary to uncover the truth behind hush-hush and bizarre beliefs that have obsessed portions of the public for generations.
In the series premiere, titled "Bigfoot Human Hybrid" (airing July 24), Joe's lifelong quest to find Bigfoot sends him crashing through forests in the Pacific Northwest in search of the elusive creature. Joe follows the trail of evidence and finds strange new facts at every turn, speaking with eyewitnesses who claim to live with the Sasquatch and a former military man who can decipher strange audio recordings theorized to be Bigfoot. If Bigfoot is part human, perhaps his human intellect is helping him evade detection.
The six episode season also sees Joe donning a HAZMAT suit while looking into killer man-made viruses, exploring the possibility of weaponized weather and learning how to psychically "remote view" while investigating the government's "Project Stargate" program. Joe also examines the underbelly of the robot revolution and speaks with the masterminds behind merging man with machine.
Joe Rogan Questions Everything is produced by A. Smith & Co. Productions (Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, American Ninja Warrior). Arthur Smith, Kent Weed, Frank Sinton, Michael Braverman, Barry Bloom, Joe Rogan, Chandra Keyes, Jeff Sussman and Tod Mesirow are executive producers.
Comedian and actor Joe Rogan previously hosted NBC's Fear Factor and played Joe Garrelli, the resident electrician, on the hit NBC comedy series NewsRadio. Since 2002 he has provided color commentary for the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship). He currently hosts one of the most popular comedy podcasts, The Joe Rogan Experience, a twice-weekly long-form conversation with guests available on iTunes, Ustream and Sirius XM's "The Virus" channel.
A stand-up comedian for more than 20 years, Rogan sells out theaters internationally with his inquisitive and intense comedic style. He released his third hour special, Joe Rogan Live From The Tabernacle, exclusively through his website on December 18, 2012 and has been seen on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Scuba dive in the crystal clear waters of the south Pacific. Live in paradise on a beach camp and carry out important marine conservation work.
Prices from US$445
The Fijian archipelago lies scattered lazily in the achingly blue waters of the Pacific Ocean, bathed in the radiant antipodean sunlight. Its towns and villages are veritable melting pots of cultural influences.
Fiji's irresistible shores are fringed with picture-perfect palm trees, and the azure waters that surround the islands are inhabited by an astonishing array of marine creatures; over 1,200 species of fish including clownfish, triggerfish, blue tangs, 12 species of whales, dolphins, anemones, soft coral and much more.
Enjoy fragrant sun drenched days and exotic nights of delectable food cooked in a traditional underground oven. Fiji will enchant you with its infectious, chilled out "Fiji time" lifestyle, its heavenly beaches and surrounding mountains of rainforest– the perfect paradise location for your Frontier adventure!
Free airport pickup and transfer to the island is provided for volunteers arriving on the first Monday of each month. For volunteers arriving on different days airport pickup, transfers to the island and hostel accomodation for the first night can be arranged at an additional cost
Communal cast away style camp a few minutes walk from the bay, with timber frame house
Diving projects: Dive training to PADI Dive Master courses available & FREE use of Frontier project dive equipment, including tanks, BCDs, Regs, weights, compressor & all air fills, boats, outboard engines (personal dive kit, including mask, fins, snorkel and wet suit not included). Scuba dive courses available subject to availability, confined water dives may be done in Suva.
PADI Open Water Diver US$595
PADI Advanced Open Water US$561
PADI Emergency First Response US$221
PADI Rescue Diver US$595
PADI Dive Master US$1,105
Dive kit available for rent in Suva (please contact Frontier for details)
Night dives, fun dives, shore dives, recreational dives and speciality dives available at extra cost based on volunteer interest and skill
A variety of qualifications are available on many of our projects. For example, BTEC certificates and diplomas on our Group conservation projects and TEFL certificates and BTECs on most of our teaching projects. You may also be able to gain a CoPE to support your university application. For more information on these qualifications, please see the qualifications section of our website or ask your volunteer advisor.
The aim of Frontier-Fiji Marine Conservation Project is to better understand the marine resources of the island of Beqa, and to provide teaching and training to enable local communities to make informed decisions regarding the management of their coastal ecosystems.
To achieve this mission, we conduct scientific baseline data surveys of reef areas. Once a long-term data set is obtained, patterns of resource use can be identified and work with local communities can begin to build awareness of the value and vulnerability of their marine environment.
The marine research and conservation programme is run in association with the University of the South Pacific. The work aims to provide the local stakeholders, research organisations and government bodies with the information they need to design and implement management plans for the future protection of Beqa island and lagoon marine ecosystem.
To gather the data needed you will be diving to locate and map the extensive coral reefs and study the various communities living on them (if necessary you will learn to dive first). To do this you will deploy a wide range of newly learned research skills and scientific techniques including: underwater visual census of reef and commercial fish such as triggerfish and parrotfish, indicator species (both fish and coral), assessment of algal and coral cover to determine the extent of coral bleaching and damage, and line intercept transects for benthic life and indicator invertebrate species such as nudibranchs. With so much to learn it's worth noting that those joining for only a few weeks will be training most of the time and may not get to do a lot of surveying. You may record observations of the feeding habits and behaviour patterns of a range of marine life. You may even get to study the impact of artisanal fishing on the coral reefs or report the effects of Global Warming on marine communities. The type of fieldwork underway will depend on the time of year and the content of the research program when you join up and how long you are joining for.
Whilst diving, you'll see an extraordinary array of animals from turtles to rays, sea cucumbers to feathery starfish, spiny urchins to octopus and jellyfish. When you motor out each day on the Frontier boat to distant dive sites you may even encounter flying fish, sharks and dolphins. By the end of your project you will be expert at identifying vast numbers of colourful and patterned reef fish as well as being an experienced and competent diver. Although the work is intense and challenging you'll get immense satisfaction from having survived and from having made a valuable contribution to the conservation of this untarnished marine wilderness. You will return home with the new friends you've made and a wealth of fascinating stories and memories.
You'll find your team to be a fun, dynamic mix of ages and experiences, with members who all share a passion about travelling in developing countries and saving endangered life. Your staff will be young, friendly individuals who are highly experienced in their field and many have volunteered on a Frontier project earlier in their career.
An airport pick-up service is offered to volunteers arriving on the first or third Monday of the month, whose flights land before 2:30pm local time. All other volunteers must make their own way to the project site. We will provide you with easy to follow instructions prior to your departure to enable you to plan your journey. If you are arriving into Fiji on days other than the first or third Monday of the month but wish to travel to the project site with the main deployment group on the first or third Monday of the month, the overland arrival meeting point is at Nadi international airport arrivals hall. Please make sure that your intended arrival/travel plans have been arranged and confirmed with the project field staff a minimum of 1 week before your project start date.
If you are travelling to a marine project on Beqa island, you will only be able to travel to the island on the same day if your flight arrives before 9am on the Monday (due to limited boat timetables). However, you are more than welcome to spend one night with us at our homestay family in Suva, or you can choose to stay in Nadi or Suva for a night, in preparation for your journey to Beqa the next morning.
You will travel from the airport along the Coral Coast of the Island of Viti Levu to the town of Navua. Following this you will take a local boat for the one hour journey to the spectacular and famous south Pacific island of Beqa.
If you are an independent traveller arriving on any other date you are welcome to join the project on any Monday, (please discuss your intended arrival date and duration of stay with our travel advisers, especially if you need to book a dive training course, to confirm availability), and please be aware that you will need to organise your own transfer between Nadi and Suva and first night hostel accommodation in Suva at a cost of US$42/$40. We will arrange for you to transfer from Suva to Beqa the following day at your own cost where our field team will be ready to welcome you to the Frontier house and camp. Again, you must confirm your exact arrival time/date with in country staff at least 1 week before arrival.
During the project you'll live in our simple but comfortable timber frame house on a cast away camp about 5-minutes walking from the Bay on the south Pacific island of Beqa. We aim to provide you with an authentic and memorable living experience. The Beqa house and camp has been constructed by local craftsmen using traditional building techniques and locally sourced building materials. The camp is situated up a short hill from the shore through the rainforest. Camp life is very simple, unsophisticated and fun. You will be staying in communal house near to the local communities. Your "shower" consists of a pipe that runs into an outdoor stall from the local stream and runs 24 hours a day. We have a western style bucket flush toilet and camp-style gas hobs to cook on. Prepare for the basic, cast away, virtually footprint-less lifestyle!
As well as the diving and marine conservation work you may be asked to help with the scientific data entry and will need to help with daily camp maintenance, taking turns to cook, tidy and clean the camp, rinse dive kit, and help with a wide variety of other important and essential camp duties.
Camp food is simple and consists largely of rice, lentils, split peas, pasta, tinned tomatoes, potatoes, onions, curry, rolled oats, freshly baked bread, and any fruit or vegetable grown on the land (pumpkin, eggplant, papaya, banana, mango, cassava, bele leaves, etc. depending on season). All food is purchased in-country or made on camp in order to help support the local economy. Luxuries such as sweets, biscuits and drinking chocolate have to be brought over to the island from Suva, so make sure you stock up before heading to the camp! Part of your role on camp will be to help with the cooking, so get your cookbooks out now and start practising! Also, with luck you'll be invited to local feasts and festivals – a great way to integrate with the local communities in the nearby villages and absorb the fabulous and welcoming local culture.
Some local dishes to look forward to include taro, taro leaves, breadfruit, sweet potato, cassava, and cassava chips, coconut and fabulous seafood. A delicious Fijian speciality is a lovo feast, which is a meal cooked in a hole in the ground – unusual but very tasty!

Gaza Conflict Unites Some Palestinians Behind Hamas
ANTHONY KUHN, BYLINE: I'm Anthony Kuhn in Gaza City. Just before the cease fire took effect, the streets were silent and deserted. War-weary Gazans know that this is the time the combatants take their parting shots just before they let their guns go silent. At the Al-Sheefa Hospital(ph), Dr. Ashraf al-Kidrah(ph), a health ministry spokesman, says that the news of the cease fire brings forth mixed emotions.
ASHRAF AL-KIDRAH: (Through translator) I'm very happy, but I'm still scared because I'm afraid Israelis will not honor the cease fire. The Israeli planes are still everywhere over Gaza. They have targeted some civilians, even though they know that there will be a cease fire.
KUHN: He says another 17 Palestinians were killed just this afternoon. As the cease fire took effect, the streets erupted in celebration, with some crying, bomb Tel Aviv, bomb Tel Aviv. Dr. Ahmed Yosef(ph) is a Hamas leader and former political advisor to Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. Speaking just before the truce came into effect, he said that the conflict has united Palestinians behind Hamas, both in Gaza and the West Bank.
AHMED YOSEF: We are Palestinian. We are all targeted and this is what the Israeli tried to do, it's all-out war against the Palestinians, not just about Hamas alone.
KUHN: He adds that Arab and Muslim nations have rallied to the Palestinian cause and given Palestinians a new spirit.
YOSEF: And with the support and backing from the Arabic state and Arab regime, I think we will be capable to continue defending ourselves and making the Israelis actually to be a big reprise if they continue on their policy of assassination and occupation.
KUHN: Yosef says the cease fire negotiations were difficult because both sides didn't just want a truce, they wanted to completely change the status quo. But it's not yet clear from the terms of the agreement that that is what they got. Anthony Kuhn, NPR News, Gaza City. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

The third hearsay exception – TRE's 803(3) then existing mental, emotional or physical condition – is also similar to the first hearsay exception, the present sense impression. As its name implies, this exception applies to statements about a declarant's state of mind at the time the statement is made. Included within this exception are statements about thoughts, emotions, sensations and physical condition.
Texas courts have held that the type of statement contemplated by this rule would include a statement which, on its face, expresses or exemplifies the declarant's state of mind, e.g., fear, hate, love, pain. What isn't included in the exception are statements of memory or belief.* As with the excited utterance, this exception includes an element of contemporaneity. Once the subject matter sensation has passed, a declarant's statement about it no longer falls within this exception.
Likewise, while a statement regarding the existence of a mental, emotional or physical condition falls within this exception, its cause does not. One federal court has explained this distinction this way:
A (declarant may say) "I am scared," but not "I am scared because the defendant threatened me." The first statement indicates an actual state of mind or condition, while the second statement expresses belief about why the declarant is frightened. The phrase "because the defendant threatened me" is expressly outside the state-of-mind exception because the explanation for the fear expresses a belief different from the state of mind of being afraid.
That being said, don't let the inquiry stop there. In the above example a creative lawyer still might manage to get both statements into evidence by looking to other hearsay exceptions. Depending upon the circumstances under which the statement "the defendant threatened me" was made, the latter statement, while not falling within the state of mind exception, might constitute an excited utterance discussed in the last post.
Most understand the notion of objecting to evidence on the grounds of "double hearsay" (hearsay-within-hearsay); don't forget the possibility of offering evidence under a "double hearsay exception" as well.
— Bonnie Sudderth, Judge of the 352nd District Court, Tarrant County, Texas
*(unless the statement is related to the execution, revocation, identification or terms of a declarant's will)

Backing up and restoring SharePoint 2010 databases, content, and configurations can be a complex endeavor. Microsoft has made some significant improvements to the native tools, including the addition of features that let administrators back up an entire farm configuration, an individual web application, an individual site collection, or even specific content. In addition, administrators can now connect to unattached content databases and restore content from them. With that said, it isn't immediately obvious which backup and restore tools are best for which situations and how to use them. So, I'll first shed some light on the available backup and restore tools, then concentrate on the tools with which administrators should be familiar.
Related: Delivering BI through SQL Server and SharePoint
Knowing Your Options
There is a wide array of options to back up a SharePoint environment:
- SQL Server tools. SharePoint content that's stored in SQL Server databases can be backed up using SQL Server's built-in backup and restore tools. You can initiate the backup as a one-time task or as a scheduled job. SharePoint database backups can be combined with other SharePoint backups, such as those available through SharePoint's Central Administration site or the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. Unlike SharePoint restore procedures, SQL Server restore procedures can't restore item-level objects. Only complete database restores are possible.
- Central Administration tools. The Central Administration site includes several tools that can be used to backup and restore the SharePoint environment. However, not all backup and restore options are available when using the Central Administration tools.
- SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. SharePoint 2010 introduces the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, which is built on top of Windows PowerShell. By executing SharePoint-specific PowerShell commands in the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, administrators can gain some functionality that isn't available through the Central Administration tools.
- Recycle Bin. Originally introduced in the SharePoint 2007 wave of products, this tool is used by users and administrators. Data can be restored by users within 30 days of deletion and thereafter by site collection administrators. SharePoint 2010 SP1 added the Site Recycle Bin, which lets site collection administrators restore entire sites that have been deleted.
- AppCmd. Using the AppCmd command-line tool, administrators can back up the Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 configuration file on a Windows Server 2008 machine. The IIS 7.0 configuration file consists of web.config and applicationHost.config files. When a system failure occurs, administrators can restore the IIS 7.0 configuration from the backup file.
- Stsadm. Although available in SharePoint 2010, Stsadm has been deprecated and is provided only to support backward compatibility. PowerShell is the preferred option—and in certain situations, the only option—for managing the SharePoint 2010 environment.
- Microsoft System Center Data Protection Manager (DPM) 2010. DPM 2010 is Microsoft's enterprise backup tool. It does snapshot-level backup and restore of SharePoint content, providing for full-farm or item-level recovery. DPM is a separate component that isn't included with SharePoint 2010.
- Third-party backup tools. Multiple vendors have backup tools for SharePoint 2010 that offer advanced functionality, such as item-level restores.
By using the SQL Server backup and restore tools and SharePoint 2010 Management Shell in addition to the backup and restore options in Central Administration, you can be fully prepared in the event of outages and other problems. The SQL Server tools and SharePoint 2010 Management Shell give SharePoint administrators more backup and restore options—particularly those related to restoring SharePoint databases, performing incremental backups, and scheduling—that aren't available when using the Central Administration tools. So, let's take a closer look at these three tool sets.
Using the SQL Server Tools
Fully loaded, a SharePoint 2010 environment will have about 25 databases that contain a significant amount of crucial content. (By fully loaded I mean deployed with FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint; Microsoft Office Web Apps; all service applications; and content, logging, and configuration databases.) That's a huge number of databases to maintain and back up. To minimize the potential for lost content, it's crucial to have a solid database backup plan.
There are many options available to back up and restore SharePoint databases. In addition to the Central Administration tools and SharePoint 2010 Management Shell, other options include using SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or T-SQL scripts. You can also use a third-party database backup tool.
No matter which tool you use, it's important to understand that when you back up the databases, the search index and any web server customizations aren't backed up. So, database backups generally aren't the only backup option chosen by most administrators.
SQL Server offers many different types of database backups, including:
- Full backup. The entire database (including the transaction log) is backed up.
- Differential backup. All the data changes since the last full backup are recorded.
- Transaction log backup. All transactions performed against the database since the last full backup or the last transaction log backup are backed up.
- File and file group. A portion of the database is backed up.
- Partial backup. All data in the primary group, every read-write file group, and any specified files are backed up. File groups marked as read-only are skipped.
- Differential partial backup. Although similar to the partial backup, this backup only records changes to the data in the file groups since the previous partial backup.
- Copy-only backup. Unlike the other types of backups, a copy-only backup isn't recorded in the database and isn't used for restoration. Any type of backup (e.g., full, differential, partial) can be a copy-only backup.
Here's an example of how to use SSMS to perform a full backup:
- Open SSMS.
- In the Connect to Server dialog box, select the name of the database server you want to connect to and click Connect.
- In the left pane of Object Explorer, expand the Server folder, then the Database folder.
- Select the SharePoint database you want to back up.
- Right-click the database, select Tasks, then click Back Up.
- In the General page of the Back Up Database window shown in Figure 1, confirm the name of the database to be backed up and confirm that the Backup type option is set to Full.
- Set the Backup component option to Database.
- In the Backup set section, enter the name and description for the database backup.
- In the Destination section, select Disk or Tape. (The Tape option will be grayed out if there are no tape devices attached to the database server.) You can back up information to as many as 64 disk devices or tape devices. If multiple devices are specified, the backup information will be spread across those devices. All the devices must be present to back up the database. If you need to add a device, click Add, enter the requested information, and click OK to return to the Back Up Database window.
- Click Options in the Select a page pane to configure advanced backup options. (Alternatively, you can click OK to initiate the backup if you don't want to configure any advanced backup options.)
- In the Options page's Overwrite media section, you can choose to add the backup to an existing media set or new media set. If you want to add the backup to the existing media set, you have the option of appending it to the existing backup set or overwriting all existing backup sets. For this example, maintain the default settings of Back up to the existing media set and Append to the existing backup set.
- In the Options page's Reliability section, leave the Verify backup when finished option selected. Microsoft recommends that you leave it selected so that your database backup is verified. However, the verification process extends the time it takes to complete the database backup.
- In the Options page's Reliability section, select Perform checksum before writing to media. This option ensures that the database backup is completed without any errors. However, the checksum process extends the time it takes to complete the database backup.
- In the Options page's Reliability section, select Continue on error. This option ensures that the database backup will continue even if an error is encountered. However, selecting this option will have an impact on the performance of the server because it increases CPU overhead.
- Click OK to execute the backup.
- Review the backup operation's success or failure error messages and click OK to finalize.
- Repeat steps 2 through 16 for any additional SharePoint databases.
Using the Central Administration Tools
The most obvious choice to back up SharePoint configurations and components is to use the built-in tools in the Central Administration site. The site's Backup and Restore page comes with two options: Farm Backup and Restore and Granular Backup. Using the Farm Backup and Restore option, administrators can back up and restore a complete farm, a farm's configuration, or individual components in a farm. New to SharePoint 2010, you can use the Granular Backup option to back up a site collection, export a document library or list, and recover data from an unattached content database.
As with previous versions, scheduling backups via the Central Administration site isn't an option. However, you can perform a one-time backup. For example, to back up a farm configuration, you need to perform the following steps:
- Open the Central Administration site on a SharePoint server. Select All Programs on the Start menu, click Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products, and choose SharePoint 2010 Central Administration.
- Select Backup and Restore in the Quick Launch toolbar.
- Select the Perform a backup option in the Farm Backup and Restore section.
- In the Select Component to Back Up page, select the Farm component and click Next.
- In the Select Backup Options page shown in Figure 2, select Full in the Backup Type section.
- In the Data to back up section on the same page, select Back up only configuration settings.
- In the Backup location text box on the same page, enter a backup location.
- Click Start Backup.
After starting the backup, SharePoint 2010 displays the Backup and Restore Job Status page. It might take several minutes for the backup process to appear on the page, depending on the backup type and the data being backed up. It might be necessary to refresh the screen occasionally to see the updated status. You can also monitor the backup progress by clicking the View History link, which shows the historical backup progress rather than the current status.
You can view the backup files in the location you selected in step 7. You'll find an XML manifest and files with .bak extensions. The XML manifest is required for a restore, so don't delete it.
Restoring content is more difficult than backing up content. Fortunately, restoring content is fairly straightforward with the Central Administration tools. For example, here are the steps to take to restore a farm:
- Create a new farm to which to apply the restore if it doesn't already exist.
- Open the Central Administration site on a SharePoint server.
- Select Backup and Restore in the Quick Launch toolbar.
- Select the Restore from a backup option in the Farm Backup and Restore section.
- In the Backup and Restore History page, enter where your backup files are located in the Backup Directory Location text box.
- In the Top Component column, select the farm that you want to restore and click Next.
- It will take a few minutes before the Select Component to Restore page appears. On this page, select the farm components you want to restore and click Next.
- In the Select Restore Options page, select either the New configuration option or the Same configuration option. Choose the New configuration option if you want to restore the data to a farm with a different configuration, in which case it'll have different computer names, web application names, and database server names. Choose the Same configuration option if you want to restore the data to the same farm, in which it'll have the same computer names, web application names, and database server names.
- Click Start Restore to commence the restore process.
Using the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell
The SharePoint 2010 Management Shell makes it easy to automate backup and restore processes. All the backup and restore options in the Central Administration site can be initiated in the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. For example, to back up a farm configuration, you'd execute the following PowerShell command from the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell:
backup-spfarm -BackupMethod Full -Directory C:\Backup\ -ConfigurationOnly
(Although this command wraps here, you'd enter it all on one line in the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. The same holds true for the following command that wraps.) To back up a single web application, you'd execute this command:
backup-spfarm -BackupMethod Full -Directory C:\Backup\ -Item http://webapplicationname
Besides automating backup and restore processes, administrators can schedule their backups—something not possible with the Central Administration tools. For more information about using PowerShell for SharePoint backup and recovery, see the "Backup and recovery cmdlets (SharePoint Foundation 2010)" web page.
Developing a Backup Strategy
The wide array of tools to back up SharePoint content, configurations, and components can be quite daunting. However, you can develop a backup strategy that has the correct mix of tools based on your business requirements. A good place to start is to use the SQL Server tools and SharePoint 2010 Management Shell along with the backup and restore options in Central Administration. With these tools, you can effectively back up your SharePoint environment and restore it if needed, without any loss to your business.

What could be more lovely than an afternoon spent frolicking with unicorns in the wilderness with Deathspank and his best pal Sparkles?
Ron Gilbert's latest and potentially greatest is coming out this month for Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network, and Hothead Games is celebrating the impending release with a brief look at the cooperative multiplayer aspect of the Monkey Island meets Diablo action RPG.
The good news? Another player can drop in at any time, sharing Deathspank's life bar as the two get viciously mauled by beautiful horse creatures.
The bad news? You're a purple wizard named Sparkles. I suppose you can't win them all.
Deathspank comes out on July 13 on PSN and July 14 on Xbox Live.

Jake Smolinski is doing what Jake Smolinski always does, walking as much as he strikes out, with 19 walks and 20 strikeouts. But he is also flashing more power than usual in his first season in the Texas Rangers' organization.
Through 27 games, the former Boylan star has been the second-best hitter for the Class AA Frisco Rough Riders. Smolinski easily leads the team in walks and is second in RBIs (14), on-base percentage (.409) and on base plus slugging (.897). He is tied for second with 12 runs scored and his three home runs are just one shy of being tied for second on the team.
Hit batting average (.267) is only average, but his more important numbers are all stellar.
Smolinski, 25, spent his first seven seasons in NL systems for the Nationals and Marlins. He hit a career-high nine home runs in 95 games in AAA for the Marlins last year, but was left off the Marlins' 40-man roster and signed with the Rangers as a free agent.
All 2005 draft picks, both out of college and fresh out of high school, had to either be put on a team's 40-man roster or become a free-agent last fall. The Marlins also offered Smolinski a contract, and an invitation to the team's major league spring training camp, but he chose to have a fresh start with Texas.
This year, he is back in Class AA, but has so far posted career highs in both on-base percentage and OPS, probably baseball's two most-important hitting stats. His .488 slugging percentage is also a career high.
Seth Blair, who knocked Smolinski's Boylan team out of the playoffs his senior year (even though Smolinski went 4-for-4 against him), is also off to his best start. The Rock Falls right-hander was an All-American at Arizona State but has had an ERA above 5.00 his first three years after the Cardinals used a sandwich pick on him between the first and second rounds. Blair is 2-0 with a 2.54 ERA in 28 innings in Class AA this year for the Cardinals.
Another former Rock Falls pitcher is also thriving. Jake Junis is 1-2 with a 2.78 ERA in 22 2/3 innings in low-Class A for the Royals.

50 years ago, 'Freedom Summer' changed South, US
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss. >> As a teenager growing up in a Jim Crow society, Roy DeBerry wasn't waiting for white folks to come down to Mississippi and "save" him. But in the summer of 1964, the factory worker's son was very glad to see people like Aviva Futorian.
The young history teacher from the affluent Chicago suburbs was among hundreds of volunteers — mostly Northern white college students — who descended on Mississippi during what came to be known as "Freedom Summer." They came to register blacks to vote, and to establish "Freedom Schools" and community centers to help prepare those long disenfranchised for participation in what they hoped would be a new political order.
Opposition was brutal. Churches were bombed, volunteers were arrested, beaten — even murdered.
"There was real terror in Mississippi," DeBerry said during a recent visit to his hometown, Holly Springs.
Fifty years later, Freedom Summer stands out as a watershed moment in the long drive for civil rights. Mass resistance to integration started to crumble. Congress took a monumental step toward equal rights. And scores of young, idealistic volunteers embarked on careers of activism that continue to shape American politics and policy today.
And in this vortex of history, lifelong friendships formed between people from vastly different worlds.
So it was that a black 16-year-old from Mississippi and the 26-year-old daughter of a Jewish furniture mogul bonded over books and bologna sandwiches during a summer that would define their lives.
Sitting side by side recently in Futorian's condominium overlooking Chicago's Lincoln Park, the two friends reminisced about lessons under a tree, practice sessions for a sit-in at a segregated theater, taboos that prevented a white woman and black man from sitting next to each other in a car.
"I probably didn't have as much trepidation as I should have," said Futorian, now a 76-year-old attorney. "Because it's hard to imagine your own death."
Years of demonstrations by determined local blacks, boycotts, legislative campaigns and bloody pitched battles had not dislodged segregation. On March 20, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, which had been fighting for integration, announced the "Mississippi Summer Project." The group concluded it needed a dramatic tactic to draw national attention to the injustices — and putting Northern whites in harm's way seemed sure to accomplish that.
Volunteers converged for training at a college in Ohio. On June 21, even before orientation ended, chilling word spread: Three young volunteers — New Yorkers Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, and Mississippi native James Chaney — had vanished while investigating the burning of a black church.
En route to Mississippi, the menace quickly became clear to Futorian. Following a gasoline stop in Tennessee, her car and its mixed-race passengers were chased for miles at high speeds. Finally, their pursuers gave up.
Maybe it was because his grandparents had been landowners since just after slavery days, or because his father wasn't dependent on sharecropping a white man's land. Whatever the source, DeBerry had "an independent streak."
He sensed the injustice of having to climb to the gallery at the segregated Holly Theatre. He resented having to call the white kid behind the counter at Tyson's Drug Store "sir."
"No one needed to teach you that," the 66-year-old DeBerry said. "It was just something that was in your DNA."
So when a Freedom School opened in an unassuming white-frame building, DeBerry found his way there.
When Futorian — who'd teach at two Freedom Schools that summer — met with a group of black teenage boys, she asked them who were the richest blacks in town, how they earned their living, were they involved in the civil rights movement and if not, why not?
"Roy was the only one who knew the answers," she recalls.
DeBerry says this was his first interaction with a white person "on a social level."
Through donated books, Futorian introduced him to James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright and other "subversive" black authors. They shared sandwiches at Modena's Cafe in the "colored" section of town. They worked on voter registration — though separately.
They were well aware of the risks they were taking even before Aug. 4, when searchers dug the bodies of the three missing civil rights workers from an earthen dam.
Freedom Summer was lurching toward a bitter close.
By fall, most of the Northern volunteers had returned home. Aviva Futorian remained.
She worked as a field organizer for SNCC and held a college preparatory study group for a few particularly promising students, including DeBerry.
She returned to Chicago after a year and a half, and decided to pursue justice as a lawyer.
With her help, DeBerry was accepted at her alma mater, Brandeis University. He helped found a black student association there.
That summer brought the beginnings of change in Mississippi and beyond. Systematic resistance to integration began fading in the state. Congress passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which became law July 2.
And though fewer than one-tenth of the 17,000 black residents who attempted to register succeeded, the effort helped create momentum for the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Some believe this activism planted the seeds for history-making events generations later. "If it hadn't been for the veterans of Freedom Summer, there would be no Barack Obama," longtime Georgia congressman John Lewis, then a coordinator for SNCC, wrote in a memoir.
Rita Bender, Michael Schwerner's widow, is less optimistic.
She says a refusal by some to recognize past inequities is partly to blame for today's social ills. Now an attorney in Seattle, she's dismayed at recent developments — a Supreme Court decision that nullified portions of the Voting Rights Act, voter identification laws, "stand-your-ground" laws. The country, she says, is "moving backward."
Back in Chicago, Futorian and DeBerry chat about that sweltering season 50 years ago — and the legacy they share.
If not for Freedom Summer, DeBerry says he probably would have left Mississippi permanently. Instead, he returned and worked in higher education and government.
Mississippi led Futorian to a legal career, focusing in recent decades on death row inmates and a successful campaign to abolish capital punishment in Illinois.
Following a 1995 SNCC reunion in Holly Springs, the former teacher and student began collecting oral histories of those who'd lived under Jim Crow in two Mississippi counties. In 2004, they formally launched the Hill Country Project, which has since grown to include education support and economic development.
Through all the change over the last five decades, there has been one constant for DeBerry and Futorian — their friendship.
