Latest surface analysis
A trough of low pressure will move through the area today.A high pressure system will move east from the Bight into SE Australia behind the trough, extending a ridge of high pressure over the region.
At 0630hr the surface wind at Hamilton Island was 310 deg at 04kn, gusting 05kn (temp 17C, pressure 1017hPa) indicative of the synoptic wind. At Hardy Reef (further offshore at 19.7S 149.2E) the wind was 040deg at 4kn.

Pretty good model agreement for today with a weak trough pushing through the area between 0900hr and 1100hr this morning. The resulting winds should be SW'ly going through the S to a SE to ENE'er.
There is a chance that the wind speeds could be 3-5kn stronger than above on the passage of the trough before easing.
An weak early to late afternoon sea breeze is possible via a glass-out?
A complicated day wind-wise by the look of it.
Wind may be channelled and hence a little stronger at times between islands and out of some bays. Winds may be lighter and more flicky in the lee of Islands and land masses generally?
Natural oscillations: around 20-40degand up to 80deg in the lee of land masses.
Dry and mostly sunny.
Maximum land temperature at Hamilton Island: 22 degrees.
Wind Waves:
0.3 to 0.8metres, less in lee of land,more when wind wave opposes tidal current.
(Wave heights quoted are Significant wave heights).
Current: A weakening flood this morning then slack followed by a strong ebb this afternoon/evening. Be extremely careful in channels, etc.
Remember: Tide floods to the south and ebbs to the north in the Whitsundays (there are many localized variations so be alert).
Tide at Shute Harbour: Low of 0.60m at 0500hr, High of 2.84m at 1058hr and Low of 0.42m at 1645hr
Sea Temperature: about 19 degrees.
Sunday 19th: Cloudy with some light rain or showers. Max temp 21deg.
S-SE 14-17kn (ave) increasing to 15-22kn (ave) during the day.

Rancho Cucamonga, CA - The Quakes earned their first victory of the season Saturday night in walk-off fashion. Pratt Maynard's ninth inning sacrifice fly to left field scored Corey Seager from third for the winning run against San Jose in a 1-0 game.
Brian Wilson made a rehab start for Rancho Cucamonga (1-2). The righty retired the side in order, including a strikeout of San Jose (2-1) leadoff man Jesus Galindo to start the game. He was relieved by Lindsey Caughel in the second inning. Caughel was masterful in six innings of relief. The returning Quake struck out eight and scattered six hits over as many innings.
San Jose's pitchers were just as good. Starter Joan Gregorio combined with Mason McVey and Jorge Bucardo to keep the Quakes off the board for eight innings. Gregorio struck out five in four innings of work before being pulled in favor of McVey in the fifth. The lefty did not allow a hit in three innings of scoreless relief.
The Giants nearly broke the scoreless tie in the top of the eighth inning. Rando Moreno walked with one out and stole second to give the Giants a runner in scoring position. Mitch Delfino followed with a single to right field, but Rob Garvey's throw was on target to catcher Pratt Maynard. Maynard tagged out Moreno at the dish to keep San Jose without a run.
The Quakes made some noise against Jorge Bucardo in the home half of the eighth. With two outs, Brandon Dixon singled to give Rancho their first base runner since the fifth inning. James Baldwin followed with a base hit to right field to move Dixon to third. With runners on the corners and two outs, Rob Garvey bounced out to third base to end the threat.
Rancho Cucamonga closer Owen Jones (1-0, 0.00 ERA) made his first appearance of 2014 to begin the ninth inning. He needed just seven pitches to retire the side in order, setting up a dramatic final frame for the Quakes.
With one out and the bases empty, Corey Seager hit a line drive into right-center field for extra bases. Center fielder Jesus Galindo's throw back to the infield was out of second baseman Trevor Brown's reach, and Seager advanced to third base on the errant throw. The only error of the game would prove to be costly. After a five-pitch walk to Steven Proscia, Pratt Maynard came to the dish with a chance to end it. He took a 1-0 pitch to left field, and it was deep enough for Seager to tag and score the only run of the ball game. Giants' reliever Stephen Johnson (0-1, 0.00 ERA) took the loss despite not giving up an earned run.
The Quakes mobbed Maynard at first base to celebrate their first victory of 2014. Fans were treated to a Fireworks display courtesy of the Best Western Heritage Inn after the game.
Sunday's game features another Dodger rehab appearance brought to you by San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino, as Chad Billingsley is expected to start for Rancho Cucamonga. First pitch is at 2:05 pm. Any kid with a ticket to the game is welcome to attend a U.S. Bank Youth Clinic with Quakes' players at 10 am. Tickets are still available by calling (909) 481-5000 or online via rcquakes.com. We hope to see you at LoanMart Field very soon. Go Quakes!

A Drooling Attack Over the BeagleBone Black
There's been no shortage of gloom and doom here in the Linux blogosphere lately, what with Fuduntu's demise, a fresh round of anti-FOSS FUD, and even criticisms of Linux distros' girth. So it was with particular joy that Linux bloggers received the news about the all-new BeagleBone Black.
"BeagleBoard.org on April 23 will officially announce a faster 1GHz version of its hackable, open-source BeagleBone SBC for only $45," read the report a day ahead of time from LinuxGizmos, and in no time at all every patron down at the blogosphere's Punchy Penguin Saloon was sitting up in rapt attention.

On the boundaries of GPL enforcement
Last October, the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) and Free Software Foundation (FSF) jointly published "The Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement". That document described what those organizations believe the goal of enforcement efforts should be and how those efforts should be carried out. Several other organizations endorsed the principles, including the netfilter project earlier this month. It was, perhaps, a bit puzzling that the project would make that endorsement at that time, but a July 19 SFC blog post sheds some light on the matter. There have been rumblings for some time about a kernel developer doing enforcement in Germany that might not be particularly "community-oriented", but public information was scarce. Based on the blog post by Bradley Kuhn and Karen Sandler, though, it would seem that Patrick McHardy, who worked on netfilter, is the kernel developer in question. McHardy has also recently been suspended from the netfilter core team pending his reply to "severe allegations" with regard to "the style of his license enforcement activities".

I enjoyed it a lot. Very claustrophobic and just all around unsettling. Infinitely better the the most recent rash of horror movies that substitute extreme gore for genuine scares.

Gee u think they will release an unrated edition?
Tigerclaw Member Join Date: November 2005 Location: Canada Posts: 493
1408 is definitely one of the best horror flick I've watched in a while. I feel it is Stephen King best adaptations in years ... I would even say it's by far his best adaptations since The Shinning.

From "It's A Wonderful Life " (2001) (I DO NOT OWN this song. No copyright infringement is intended, and all materials belong to the rightful owners or companies.) The first horse turns up in the opening couplet. "A murder of crows" ushers us out in the album's hidden track. All around are mouldering remains of human activity: the buried pianos and clawhammers of Mark Linkous' psyche, covered in creepers and yielding up their secrets only in part. With this heavy payload of imagery, it's a miracle that Sparklehorse's third album of backwoods blues hasn't ended up a junk shop of Southern Gothic clichés. Old dog Tom Waits even wades in, hollering like an incestuous uncle on 'Dog Door', while Linkous' rusty cabin music creaks insalubriously beneath. But that's just the first of many wonders of this exceptional record. It takes worn, weary scenes and makes them inviting. It takes a saccharine adage like 'It's A Wonderful Life' and imbues it with afflicted and affecting truth. Not all of this skewed joie de vivre comes from Linkous' infamous brush with death a few years back. He collapsed, nearly lost his legs and saw things from a wheelchair. But his band Sparklehorse have, over the course of three magnificent records, always wrung the sweet from the bitter with great poignancy. Perhaps more significant is the fact that this is the first record Linkous has made drug-free. Every moment of '...Wonderful Life' thrums with micro-activity: Wurlitzers whirr, strings ache, and little analogue touches animate every piece. And then there's the songs themselves, effortlessly beautiful, and made more hair-raising by backing vocals from PJ Harvey ('Eyepennies' and 'Piano Fire') and Cardigan Nina Persson. 'Gold Day''s wheezing organ recalls Mercury Rev at their most fairground, and indeed, Rev producer Dave Fridmann brings his delicacy to bear throughout. Then there's Linkous' new broodiness: like Lambchop's Kurt Wagner, whose 'Up With People' single featured the chorus "Come on, progeny", Linkous sees them everywhere, and wishes them well. The blaring 'King Of Nails', in contrast, boasts ragged guitars, tearing through the cobweb silk of its predecessor, 'Apple Bed', the album's only sinister moment ("Please, doctor, please", it wails). Throughout, though, Linkous conjures up a riveting private world of lost plastic spades and snakepits, fat babies and "piano birds" (the heirs to his pain birds?) - mundane and fantastical, troubled and tender. It's a wonderful record. Unofficial video Sing through the rings of Saturn

Year on year, revenues jump 15% and EBITDA 23% as Corporates move to the Company's "virtual" Data Centres and accelerate Unified ICT evolution
London, 6 November 2012 - Interoute Communications Ltd, owner operator of Europe's largest cloud services platform, is building out its European Data Centres as demand increases for its cloud services. The introduction of an applications management product set and the launch of Interoute's Virtual Data Centre (VDC) solution have contributed to the surge in computing revenues. The Company's Unified ICT strategy, leveraging Europe's largest cloud services platform to offer computing, communication and connectivity services, continues to attract international enterprises that demand an integrated approach.
In Q3 2012, Interoute extended its Virtual Data Centre platform into its Berlin facility and prepared its Paris Data Centre for the launch of its innovative solution in Q4. Earlier this year, the Company was selected by the UK Government as an IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provider for that nation's G-Cloud programme. Interoute's Virtual Data Centre enables organisations to create highly dynamic scalable cloud computing services, allowing customers to provision new computing resources in minutes and to select from any of Interoute's VDC enabled Data Centres in Amsterdam, Berlin, Geneva and London via a fully automated online portal.
Interoute is also investing in a new state of the art Data Centre in Ghent, Belgium, which will be fully operational in January 2013. The enhanced security at this facility features biometric fingerprint controlled access, 24/7 remote security, which is managed from Interoute's Amsterdam Data Centre, and multiple High Definition cameras monitoring the building inside and out. The Data Centre is ISO-2007 and PCI certified, and will have an excellent, "green" Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) classification of 1.4.
Interoute's growth has defied the recession with top line revenues jumping 15%, to €296.7m, in the first three quarters of 2012 over the same period in 2011. A surge in demand for its enterprise cloud-based Unified Computing offering, combined with sustained international demand for pan-European private network services, have fuelled the Company's growth. EBITDA rose to €52.8m in the first nine months of 2012, a rise of 23% over the same period in 2011.
Gareth Williams, Interoute CEO, commented: "Owning and operating Europe's largest private cloud infrastructure means we are perfectly positioned to help enterprises take advantage of the benefits of innovative connectivity, communications and cloud computing services. In essence, we combine the unprecedented scale of the platform with the operational agility that comes with an ever increasing virtualised service offering."
Joel Stradling, Research Director, Business Network and IT Services, Current Analysis, commented: "Abundant fibre and capacity reserves coupled with high-performance services, fast provisioning times and attractive pricing, put Interoute in a strong competitive position in the retail enterprise and wholesale carrier-to-carrier segments. The company has sensibly embellished these strengths with on-demand computing and its Virtual Data Centre offering, and the results presented today demonstrate positive take-up of Interoute's Cloud based services."

This is part of a series of articles describing how to use the new features of vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC) v0.4.0. In previous posts, we have looked at deploying your first VCH (Virtual Container Hosts) and container using the docker API. I also showed you how to create some volumes to provide consistent storage for containers. In this post, we shall take a closer look at networking, and what commands are available to do container networking. I will also highlight some areas where there is still work to be done.
Also, please note that VIC is still not production ready. The aim of these posts is to get you started with VIC, and help you to familiarize yourself with some of the features. Many of the commands and options which work for v0.4.0 may not work in future releases, especially the GA version.

The Jackson County Regional Health Center Board of Trustees this week hired architectural and construction management firms to help the board plan a new hospital.
On a 5-0 vote, the board on Tuesday approved an administrative recommendation to hire BWBR Architects Inc. of St. Paul, Minn., at a cost of up to $95,000 and J. H. Findorff & Son Inc. of Madison, Wis., at a cost of up to $10,000, for a maximum total of $105,000.
Board member Eilene Busch was absent.
The two firms will work with the board and administration over the next three months to develop a master site and facility plan to replace the current hospital facility.
The firms will work together and present a report offering recommendations and options to the board at the end of October.
The board acted after hearing presentations by managers of the two firms over an hour and 15 minutes.
The firms were recommended from among six firms that were interviewed by a committee of board members, hospital officials and officials from Genesis Health System of Davenport, which manages the hospital under a management services agreement.
The hospital board has undertaken the issue of whether to remodel the present facility, replace the current hospital with a new one at its present site or build a new facility elsewhere.
The impetus for the action is a report the hospital board received in April that showed the hospital has multiple serious deficiencies with its facilities, including deteriorating electrical, plumbing and air handling systems, too much unused space and systems that do not meet hospital building code requirements.
That study found the hospital would have to spend $15.6 million over the next 10 years to correct the deficiencies, including $7.28 million of repairs and renovations seen as an "immediate need."

MAQUOKETA – With a cluck-cluck here and feathers flying there, hundreds of poultry underwent blood tests Saturday morning on the Jackson County Fairgrounds.
The dozen-or-so human volunteers weren't testing the chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese for performance-enhancing drugs but for pullorum-typhoid, a disease that can be spread among flocks.
All poultry being exhibited at the county and state fair must have had a negative pollorum-typhoid test within 90 days of public exhibition, according to the Iowa Department of Land and Ag Stewardship.
Only poultry need such extensive testing, according to Katie Bopes, Jackson County youth 4-H coordinator.
"All livestock are checked by a vet before they can enter the livestock buildings at the fair," Bopes said. "However, no other species have to have additional testing like poultry do this year."
Bopes said no pollorum-typhoid outbreaks have been reported in the immediate area, "but we're being pro-active."

It appears that voters in Maquoketa's 3rd Ward will have the opportunity to select their new city council member.
With three residents applying for appointment to the vacant position, the council on Monday night said it will switch procedures and instead call a special election to fill the opening created by the resignation of Eric Pape from the council.
Pape resigned last month effective July 1 due to plans to move outside the city.
The council earlier this month decided it would fill the vacancy by appointment and issued a call for applicants from the southeast side ward.
Council members changed their minds Monday after they noted that three residents – Jerry Bowen, Vicki Hansen and Josh Smith – had applied for the appointment.
"My thought is with these three great candidates, I'd personally like to see it go back to a special election," said council member Amy Moore.
"I think that it's great that we have three great candidates for the 3rd Ward position because in the past we haven't had very much interest, especially in that one ward seat," Moore said.
"When we initially made that decision to
A Davenport man was arrested in Maquoketa this week and charged with first-degree murder in the 2015 death of his infant stepson.
Robert John Brewer Jr., 31, was taken into custody Monday after officers obtained an arrest warrant.
At about 1:30 p.m., Brewer, who works at Family Dollar Distribution Center south of Maquoketa, was arrested and taken to the Jackson County Detention Center pending extradition to Illinois.
Jackson County court documents show he waived extradition. Bond was set at $1 million.
Brewer is charged with first-degree murder for the 2015 death of three-month-old Eli Brewer in Rock Island.
Rock Island police officers responded to the 1200 block of 31st Street on reports of a child not breathing on Aug 16, 2015. They found Eli not breathing and with no pulse, according to a statement issued by the Rock Island Police Department.
Following CPR, the baby was taken to Unity Point Medical Center in Rock Island, then OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, Illinois, but died two days later.
The police department said Eli had sustained injuries "that were consistent with having been intentionally inflicted" and those injuries did "directly lead to his death."
Eli was the son of Lindsey Brower and Russell Burmeister Jr., according to his obituary, which listed Brewer as the baby's stepfather.
Anyone with information related to this case is asked to contact the Rock Island Police Department at 309-732-2677 or Crimestoppers at 309-762-9500.

The post Dept. of Justice Crackdown on Sanctuary Cities Will Boost Americans' Safety appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
Currently, sanctuary cities don't permit their local police forces to detain foreign criminals wanted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Instead, they release them back onto the streets. That puts Americans' lives and jobs at risk.
That's why the DoJ's move is so welcome — and why the federal government should go to even greater lengths to crack down on sanctuary cities.
Specifically, the DoJ announced that to receive funding for two law enforcement grant programs, cities now must prove that they do not block their police from sharing information with immigration officers. The desire for funding will hopefully compel sanctuary city officials to change their ways.
Sanctuary cities that that refuse to aid ICE put their citizens' lives in danger.
Consider the case of Jose Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, who infamously shot and killed Kate Steinle in San Francisco last year. He had previously committed several felonies. Yet, because San Francisco is a sanctuary city, he, along with thousands of other dangerous illegal alien criminals, wasn't handed over to ICE after he was arrested by local law enforcement. He killed Kate just weeks after being released from custody.
Illegal aliens also threaten Americans' economic security. By competing with U.S. workers, they inadvertently drive down wages. In fact, illegal immigration reduces the wages of American workers by almost $120 billion per year.
Unfortunately, the DoJ's carrot-and-stick approach only applies to two grant programs. To force all sanctuary cities to reverse their disastrous policies, the federal government would need to cut off a far larger percentage of funding.
The Senate recently considered a bill from Pat Toomey (R-PA) which would have done exactly that. The proposed law attracted bi-partisan support — but not quite enough to make it out of committee.
Americans shouldn't have to live in fear that illegal aliens will take their jobs — or their lives. Compelling local leaders to end their sanctuary policies and cooperate with ICE would boost citizens' physical and economic safety.

The post Gang of Eight Would Devastate American Workers appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
They're either working part-time when they want full-time work or they're not using their education and training in their jobs, according to a new survey. Meanwhile, roughly 7.8 million Americans are flat-out unemployed, and one-quarter of them haven't held a job for at least six months.
If some in Congress get their way, the employment situation could soon become even bleaker for American workers.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) just announced that he aims to 'dust off' the Gang of Eight immigration 'reform' bill in 2017. Originally introduced in 2013, the bill proposed giving illegal aliens a path to citizenship and greatly increasing the number of legal, low-skill work visas. Both moves would devastate American workers.
If illegal aliens and additional low-skilled foreign laborers are suddenly eligible for work, competition for jobs would skyrocket. American workers would struggle to secure good-paying positions.
Already, many employers are more likely to hire foreigners than Americans, since it's easier to exploit non-citizens. Consider one Georgia farm, which fired all but 5 of its 121 American workers. It then replaced these Americans with foreign-born workers.
The influx of workers would also drive down wages, which have remained stagnant for decades. Harvard economist George Borjas concluded that immigration between 1990 and 2010 depressed Americans' wages by almost $1,400.
Americans desperately need the next president and Congress to implement real immigration reform that protects workers' wages and job security. The Gang of Eight bill would fail on both counts — and leave more Americans underemployed than ever before.
The post Gang of Eight Would Devastate American Workers appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
The post Supreme Court Strikes Down Executive Amnesty — For Now appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
The decision is great news for American workers, who would have faced increased competition for jobs had the program been upheld.
The justices announced that they were divided evenly in their opinions about the program's legality. Their split decision means that the lower court's ruling — which froze the program — will prevail for the time being, as the case is re-litigated. Since the re-litigation process will last at least until 2017, the next president will ultimately decide whether to continue the program, or spike it.
Had justices ruled in favor of the administration, the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans program would have gone into effect. Over 4 million illegal aliens would have received not just a reprieve from deportation, but also legal working privileges and various tax and public assistance benefits.
That would have been disastrous for millions of unemployed and underemployed Americans. Over 9 percent of the workforce can't find full-time jobs.
Their struggle would have become much worse if formerly illegal workers flooded into new fields, thereby increasing competition for jobs and driving down wages. Already, illegal immigration depresses native-born Americans' wages by up to $118 billion per year.
The Supreme Court's split decision underscores the importance of the upcoming elections. The next president will have enormous influence over immigration policies. And he or she could nominate several Supreme Court justices, which could sway the outcome of similarly contentious cases for decades to come.
American workers should count the ruling as a victory. But they should remain vigilant — further political battles to defend Americans' rights to employment surely lie ahead.

Finally, finally, finally, when they discussed the main News Hour story about the June 24th Brexit results, they finally came clean on why it happened.

Brexit forced these worthies to finally talk about the repressed anger of the shrinking Middle Class and the down trodden working class, particularly those with no special skills or higher education about how the elites of America had, as Brooks, the Republican voice, admitted, brought in too many immigrants. Wow! And then Democrat Shields chimed in by noting that college grads were having trouble finding jobs.
My wife and I have been concerned for decades about the out of control immigration situation—we take in the more legal immigrants every year than any other nation on Earth and a lot of illegal aliens, always dubbed "undocumented immigrants" by most media outlets. This utter disregard for the interests of American citizens has now produced the latent anger that allowed that improbable presumptive Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, to surface. He brings a lot of warts, but his initial call for control of our borders was the trumpet sound that enabled him to beat out 15 other candidates and get the Republican nomination over the screams of the Republican elites who wanted no change in their continuing greedy requests for more and more, just as the Democrats felt that loading up on more minorities was a path to a permanent voting majority.
Of course to me the ultimate racist position of the Democrats is that while accusing American citizens of racial bias if they protested the vast incursion of immigrants, they asked American citizens to give endless benefits to aliens. At the same time, elites in and out of office failed to take seriously the dire effects on our poorer citizens such as inner city African Americans and millions of blue collar workers idled by the big businesses which have imported huge numbers of cheap foreign labor while at the same time sending so many jobs which our citizens could do to China and other lower cost countries.
Opinions of why the Brits voted as they did included Brussels' alleged arrogant mismanagement, of the EU, but to me the main beef from the beefeaters was immigration. Yes, the inability to control almost anyone who wanted to come into the UK got under the skin of the white working class majority.
So let's understand why so called populist sentiment is rising rapidly. The elites of both parties have ignored the pain of the little people and now as Shield noted when college grads are getting out and not getting the jobs they were trained for. Both admitted correction was needed, but when citing as a solution passing various versions of bills about Comprehensive Immigration Reform, they should have noted that the CIR legislation did not offer proper safeguards and was rejected several times as not providing the corrections needed.
Simple question: why did it take the Brexit vote before this illustrious pair of Brooks and Shield could clearly articulate what they must have understood long before, but ignored, was the seminal problem, buried, ignored and untreated?
Immigration is going to get focused on now big time and if these angry ignored Americans are not happy with the prospect for real change, the presumed political outcome in November may surprise those elites from both parties.

The post Brexit is a Wake-Up Call to Global Elites on Immigration appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
The vote is a wakeup call to global elites that their populations will no longer accept high immigration policies that depress wages and limit job opportunities for ordinary citizens. Let's hope progressive leaders in the United States heed the message.
Ordinary British citizens have suffered economically due to high immigration from European Union countries — especially lower-wage ones in Eastern Europe. Last year alone, a record 184,000 EU citizens moved to Britain. Many were attracted by the opportunity to earn higher wages and work better jobs than they could find in their home countries.
Of course, that creates quite a problem for British workers, who need those same jobs. So it's no surprise that three-quarters of Britons support reducing immigration.
Middle and working-class Britons have long pressured their leaders to curb the number of new arrivals. Back in 2010, Prime Minister David Cameron, who is now stepping down due to Brexit, had promised to limit immigration to 100,000 people per year. But he never fulfilled his pledge.
So the people of Britain finally decided their only option was to leave the EU.
Many American progressive leaders worry that the same economic frustrations with high immigration policies will lead working-class citizens to vote for Donald Trump in this fall's presidential election. These leaders are concerned what a Republican victory would mean for a whole host of progressive causes.
Instead of continuing to ignore these frustrations, progressive leaders would be wise to change course and adopt the immigration views that guided the progressive movement for decades. Civil rights leader and Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, for instance, chaired a commission in the mid-1990s that recommended cutting legal immigration to 550,000 — about half today's level. President Clinton endorsed that proposal.
A generation before them, labor activist Cesar Chavez argued vigorously for deporting illegal aliens. He understood that working Americans would never be able to secure pay raises and better working conditions as long as employers could exploit a ready supply of cheap, illegal, labor.
British leaders, including progressives, ignored their citizens' demands for economic justice and a fair chance to find decent paying jobs in their own country. Let's hope American progressive leaders don't make the same mistake.

The post Immigration System Should Prioritize America's Needs appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
There's certainly no room in America for bigotry or intolerance of different ethnic and religious groups. But it's perfectly reasonable to expect the immigration system to put the security and economic needs of Americans ahead of foreign interests.
Right now, there's significant evidence that the system fails to do so.
Consider the repeated terrorist attacks carried out by foreign nationals and their U.S.-born children. The Orlando shooter was the son of an Afghan immigrant who openly supported the Taliban. The Boston Marathon bombers were born in Chechnya. The San Bernardino killers were first and second-generation immigrants, respectively.
The violence isn't limited to terrorist attacks. An illegal alien infamously murdered Kate Steinle on a California pier last summer. Her death was tragic — but not uncommon. Illegal aliens commit over 30 percent of all murders in California, Texas, Arizona, Florida and New York, despite accounting for less than 6 percent of those states' populations.
Simply put, the existing immigration system is failing to keep dangerous individuals out of the country.
Current levels of immigration are also harming Americans economically. About 1 million new foreigners receive permanent U.S. residency — and work permits — each year. Tens of thousands of foreigners also illegally journey to the United States each year. These workers compete with Americans for jobs — and drive down wages by $400 billion per year.
Leaders have a responsibility to evaluate whether granting over a million foreign nationals the privilege of moving to America each year is in the nation's best interests. The evidence currently indicates it is not.
It's time to design an immigration system that protects citizens' lives and livelihoods. What could be more American than that?

The post Jobs Report Reveals a Discouraged Labor Force appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
Employers created just 38,000 jobs — less than a quarter of the number economists had expected. The labor force participation rate plummeted back to a near-historic low of 62.6 percent, reversing several months of increases.
U.S. workers are disheartened. Millions cannot find jobs that pay a living wage. But one solution offers hope. Curbing immigration would reduce competition for jobs, giving American workers a much-needed wage boost.
It's well documented that high levels of immigration depress wages. Labor economist George Borjas says that foreign workers reduce Americans' wages by over $400 billion each year.
Of course, immigrants don't intentionally push down wages. It's simply an issue of supply and demand. When there's too many workers competing for the same jobs, employers can cut or freeze wages without experiencing staff shortages.
Instead of improving workers' job prospects by cutting immigration, Congress is trying to increase low-skilled immigration. In December, lawmakers effectively eliminated the cap on H-2B "low-wage" visas — previously set at 66,000 annually — by exempting those who obtained a visa from late 2012 to 2015 from counting towards that limit.
Now, many in Congress want to make that exemption permanent. If they succeed, as many as 264,000 H-2B visa holders could flood the labor market to compete with blue-collar U.S. workers for jobs.
These workers already face dire economic straits. From 1979 to 2013, their inflation-adjusted hourly wages dropped five percent.
High immigration policies restrict job opportunities and depress wages for American workers. Considering the latest anemic jobs numbers, the last thing Congress should do is double down on these failed policies.
The post Jobs Report Reveals a Discouraged Labor Force appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
The post Across the Pond and at Home, Workers Oppose High Immigration Policies appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
EU agreements allow laborers from across Europe to easily obtain work permits in the United Kingdom. And since there are better job opportunities in the UK than in many less prosperous EU countries, a net total of about 2 million EU citizens have immigrated to the island nation. Last year alone, net migration from the EU to the UK hit an all-time record, at roughly 185,000 people.
These EU citizens directly compete with British workers for jobs. The percentage of immigrants in the UK workforce has more than doubled since 1993, the year the EU was created.
Lesser-skilled British workers have borne the brunt of this competition for a limited supply of jobs. For instance, from 2002 to 2014, the share of immigrants working in low-skill "process operation" jobs, such as food production at factories, increased from 8.5 percent to 32 percent.
With plenty of workers desperate for jobs, employers have no incentive to pay workers higher wages. Wage growth for workers in the UK has declined precipitously since 2004, when the UK began admitting immigrants from low-wage Eastern European nations. In fact, since 2008, wages have actually declined about 5 percent after accounting for inflation.
British taxpayers haven't escaped the negative consequences of high immigration from EU countries. The British government doled out about 2.5 billion pounds, or $3.7 billion, in tax credits to low-wage EU immigrants from 2013 to 2014.
American workers and taxpayers have suffered similarly on this side of the Atlantic, due to the United States taking in about 1.25 million immigrants per year. Despite rising worker productivity, real hourly wages for low-skilled workers fell five percent from 1979 to 2013.
High immigration policies hold down wages by increasing competition for jobs. And they import many people who can't support themselves financially, straining government budgets. On both sides of the pond, workers and taxpayers would be better served by reducing immigration.

The post Progressive Disconnect on Trade and Immigration Policy appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
"They [free trade agreements] have been a disaster for the American worker… I do not want American workers competing against people in Vietnam who make 56 cents an hour for a minimum wage," explained Bernie Sanders in a recent interview.
Unfortunately, these same leaders often support high immigration policies that ultimately have the same effect — putting American workers in competition with low-wage foreign laborers. If these leaders want to help U.S. workers, they ought to be consistent and oppose job-destroying, wage-depressing high immigration policies.
Every year, the United States takes in about 1.25 million immigrants. Many of these immigrants work in low or medium wage jobs. In California, for instance, immigrants already make up 41 percent of the construction workforce.
Yet political leaders, spurred on by corporate interests, continually seek to import ever-greater numbers of low-wage laborers. Right now, Congress is trying to expand the H-2B visa program to accept up to a quarter million foreign workers each year for jobs in traditional blue-collar industries like food processing and landscaping.
That puts foreign laborers in direct competition with American workers, driving down their pay, especially in low-wage occupations. Harvard economist George Borjas found that low-skilled immigration led to a 10 percent drop in the wages of native-born high-school dropouts.
Concern for American workers' job prospects and wages has prompted every presidential candidate left standing to condemn free trade policies. Yet two of the three have yet to acknowledge that high immigration policies yield the same negative consequences.
For workers' sake, let's hope they all come around by this fall.

The post PFIR's Environmental Impact Statement: Part IV appeared first on Progressives for Immigration Reform.]]>
Nations across the globe, including the United States, are pumping more and more oil. This increase in production has sent oil prices to some of their lowest levels since the 1990s.
But this resource boom won't last forever. As PFIR's new Environmental Impact Statement explains, population growth in the United States will eat up that oil glut — and then some. Such population-fueled increases in demand for oil and other resources won't just send the price of those goods skyward — they could undermine national security and global ecosystems, too.
The United States must work to ward off such catastrophes by limiting the growth of its population. The most straightforward way to do so? By reducing immigration.
If the United States were to hold immigration levels steady at 1.25 million immigrants each year, the ensuing growth in the population would increase the country's energy consumption up to 70 percent by 2100. Even if the United States were to implement policies that reduce energy usage, total consumption would still rise by 19 percent.
America won't be able to meet this demand on its own. Our nation would again become dependent on other countries' resources. But many of these foreign nations are politically turbulent — and could use oil or other resources as geopolitical weapons.
That's happened before. Russia cut off natural gas supplies to Ukraine in 2006 and to Belarus in 2009. When Moldovans considered signing a free-trade agreement with the European Union, Russia threatened to cut off their supply as well.
Russia produces more than 12 percent of the world's oil supply. So it has significant leverage to use its resource riches as a weapon.
Over-consuming resources also negatively impacts global ecosystems. When burned, fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the air. And CO2 emissions don't stop at the borders of the nation that produced them. They contribute to climate change all over the globe.
The poorest countries and poorest people are hurt most. They lack the resources to adjust to the increased temperatures, droughts, and crop failures that man-made climate change engenders.
Cutting immigration levels to one-quarter of a million people per year certainly wouldn't erase these problems. But it would substantially lessen the demand for resources. There'd be 145 million fewer people in the country than if America kept its immigration levels steady.
The United States owes it to itself — and to the rest of the world — to curb its population growth by reducing immigration.

After accidentally being shot 10 years ago, man still searching for the hero who saved him
Nate Keller
It's been 10 years since Nate Keller was shot and nearly bled to death on a dinner date gone wrong in 2003. Ten years later, he has never been able to thank the anonymous man who helped save his life by putting pressure on his gunshot wound until paramedics arrived.
It all started in 1999 when Keller decided it was time to learn to use a gun. He bought a handgun and a pass at a local shooting range and began introducing friends and family to the skill of handling and firing handguns. "Safety is the most important aspect of shooting" according to Keller. He spent 30 minutes teaching safety and the functionality of guns before he entered the range with each friend or family member. "The rules are quite simple, don't ever point a gun at anyone (loaded or unloaded), and don't touch the trigger until you are ready to shoot your target. If you follow these simple rules, no one can ever get hurt." It was on one such shooting range trip in 2003 that Keller learned the consequences of not following these simple rules.
It was April 22, 2003 when Keller headed to Kearns, to the "Totally Awesome Gun Range." Keller's date had requested that he take her shooting before dinner since she had never been shooting before and was moving to New York City that same week. The usual safety and gun functionality lesson came to a close and they entered the range. They were both shooting very well and after about an hour Keller began to put away the guns and ammo as his date finished shooting the last clip from his .22 caliber handgun.
Keller was about 10 feet behind her as he saw her, with his peripheral vision walk toward him to hand him the gun with her finger still on the trigger. The gun went off sending a massive jolt through Keller's right thigh. "It felt like a bomb going off in the middle of my leg." Keller remembers. Keller instinctively grabbed his thigh and ran out of the range to the sales area of the store and yelled, "Call 9-1-1, I just got shot in the leg!" The worker ran to the phone as Keller pulled off his protective eyewear and earplugs.
"My leg felt warm and wet as the blood poured out of the wound and down my leg making the front of my jeans look almost black." His femoral artery had been completely severed. The sudden, massive loss of blood caused Nate to start blacking out so he immediately laid on the ground to keep blood to his brain. Miraculously remaining calm, he pleaded for a nearby store patron to put pressure on his wound to slow the bleeding (he was later told by the surgeon that he would have been unconscious in 30 seconds and would have bled to death in less than 2 minutes if his wound had been left unattended). The man was understandably reluctant in such a traumatic situation, but he came forward like a hero and pressed his palms on the pressure point to slow the bleeding.
Providentially, Keller had just seen an episode of HBO's "Band of Brothers" where a soldier was shot in the femoral artery and died very quickly. "Had I not seen that episode, I never would have known the gravity of my wound. Most movies make it seem like getting shot in the leg is no big deal."
Keller was life-flighted by helicopter to the University of Utah Hospital where surgeon Larry Kraiss patched his severed artery using a piece of his saphenous vein from his ankle, narrowly saving his leg from amputation.
Coincidentally, this was the same week that Aron Ralston was pinned beneath a boulder in southern Utah and had to amputate his own hand with a camping knife. His story was documented in the recent Hollywood film "127 Hours."
Keller shares, "I am so grateful to have no long-term effects from my gunshot injuries. Every day of my life is a gift and I try to spend it wisely."
And spend it wisely he does. Today Keller is a multifamily real estate investor living in Orem. He plays the stringed bass in the Utah Valley Symphony and is on their Board of Directors. He plays the banjo and directs a folk band that tours to Europe every summer to represent the United States in international folk festivals. He also hosts free house concerts every month in Orem. He is a dutiful uncle to 28 nieces and nephews, rarely missing their many events. He is a model citizen and a great asset to the community.
But something still haunts him about that fateful night in 2003: Keller never had a chance to thank the stranger who helped save his life in the most critical moment. "I'd like to thank him for being a hero and being brave enough to come to my aid during such a traumatic event."
If anyone knows the identity of the man who helped save Keller's life in April of 2003, please contact us at email@example.com.
