By Jamie Dupree
As Democrats focus on the fight ahead on health care in the U.S. House, they have only one number in their heads: 218 votes, a majority needed for approval of the bill.
Can they fashion a majority in the House on health care? Of course they can. Could they suffer a humiliating defeat as well? Absolutely.
The big job right now for Democratic leaders is to get their people to vote for whatever the final bill is, and limit their losses among Blue Dogs, Democrats in swing districts and red states, and maybe most importantly, among freshman Democrats.
In the three House Committees that approved health care bills, there were 11 Democrats who voted no on the three different health reform bills.
Energy and Commerce: Rep. Rick Boucher (D-VA), Rep. John Barrow (D-GA), Rep. Bart Stupak (D-MI), Rep. Jim Matheson (D-UT) and Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-LA).
Ways and Means: Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI), Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-ND) and Rep. John Tanner (D-TN).
Education and Labor: Rep. Jason Altmire (D-PA), Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) and Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV).
The question Democrats have to ask is will these eleven lawmakers stay as 'no' votes, or can they be brought back to the fold?
Right now, Democrats hold an advantage of 256-178, with one vacancy in the House. That seat will soon go to the Dems, so let's just keep the number forty in mind.
If Democrats lose 40 votes in the House - and no Republicans vote yes - then the health care bill would go down to defeat.
If you think those eleven members are going to vote no, then the "magic number" drops to 29.
Last Friday, one Democrat who voted for the bill in the Ways and Means Committee, suddenly announced that he would now vote 'no.'
"I have wanted for seven years to vote for a bill that would improve the quality and availability of health care," said Rep. Artur Davis (D-AL), "But after analyzing this legislation for two weeks, I have come to the conclusion that the House bill is the wrong approach and unless it changes in a substantial way, it will not have my vote on the floor."
Davis is an interesting person to watch here, as he is running for Governor of Alabama, which means he has to face a statewide electorate, not just his own House district next year.
Maybe that number is now at 28.
What about other Blue Dogs? I guess if I had to list a few that would jump out at me right away as possible 'no' votes, I would start with two from Davis' home state of Alabama, Rep. Bobby Bright and Rep. Parker Griffith.
I would almost bet that one 'no' vote will come from Rep. Gene Taylor of Mississippi. He got into a verbal spat last week with one anti-tax group that said he would vote for the health care bill, calling Americans for Tax Reform, "lying sacks of scum."
"I am opposed to the current health care reform bills being debated in Congress," Taylor says on his House web site.
For the sake of argument, let's say the number needed for opponents is now 25.
Other possible 'no' votes might include Taylor's fellow Mississippi Rep. Travis Childers, whose web site describes him as "A pro-gun, pro-life Mississippian."
Then there is Rep. Walt Minnick, who somehow won the Democrats a seat from the state of Idaho. Let's just say I don't see him voting 'aye' anytime soon.
So we're at 23 now.
Let's throw in a few more possible 'no' votes, like Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma, Rep. Jim Marshall of Georgia and Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina.
We could be down to 20 maybe.
I've left out a bunch of other Blue Dogs who will certainly be in play, but some of them also star in another category - freshmen Democrats, like Rep. Glenn Nye of Virginia and others.
They include, Rep. Frank Kratovil of Maryland, who will be under extreme pressure to support the bill from House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer of his home state.
There is Rep. Susan Kosmas of Florida, who has been under fire from the GOP since she won over a GOP seat last year.
Another one to watch is Rep. Steve Driehaus of Ohio, who took a Republican seat in Cincinnati.
There are two other freshmen in Virginia, Rep. Tom Perriello and Rep. Gerry Connolly.
Connolly has already publicly registered his opposition to new taxes in the bill, and raised other questions about the reform details as well.
So while the public face of this debate will be important, the behind the scenes arm twisting is just as fascinating as well. There will be a lot of people counting votes in the weeks ahead, me included.
Can Democrats lose this? Of course they can. Can they win it? After watching them break enough arms and wheel and deal their way to victory on Cap and Trade, the answer is yes.
What happens back home during Congress' August break will determine which way this goes.
And don't forget the most important group in this fight - seniors. If they break one way or the other, they can determine who wins or loses.

Founded in 1884, the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology holds world-class collections of art and artefacts from all over the world, representing cultures and histories over millennia.
In 1997 the Museum's entire collection was recognised as a Designated Collection of national importance.
Venue Type:
The entire collection of this museum is a Designated Collection of national importance.
This museum was founded in 1884 on the basis of two important collections: the Cambridge Antiquarian Society collection relating to British archaeology; and anthropological artefacts from the South Seas acquired by, among others, the museum's first curator, Baron Anatole von Hügel. The collections now comprise approximately half a million archaeological items and over 150,000 ethnographic objects. Most have been acquired through Cambridge-based research and are exceptionally well documented.
The strengths of the archaeological collections include their worldwide scope and the extensive Palaeolithic and Mesolithic material. Important anthropological collections include artefacts from Cook's first voyage to the Pacific in 1769 and artefacts and photographs from the 1898 Cambridge Expedition to the Torres Strait.

Chiefs and Governors: Art and Power in Fiji
- 7 June 2013 — 19 April 2014 *on now
This is the first ever exhibition dedicated to Fijian Art outside Fiji. It draws on MAA's exceptional collection of Fijian artefacts, photographs and archives, a collection closely linked to the early colonial history of Fiji and the foundation of the Museum.
Baron Anatole von Hügel, MAA's first curator, travelled within Fiji between 1874 and 1877, a period coinciding with Fiji's entry into the British Empire. Along with Sir Arthur Gordon (First Governor of Fiji) and Alfred Percival Maudslay (Sir Arthur's private secretary), von Hügel assembled an impressive Fijian collection, including outstanding objects presented by Fijian and Tongan chiefs. This material formed the founding ethnographic collection of the Museum when it opened in 1884. The opening of this exhibition in June 2013 marks the centenary of the Museum moving to its current building on Downing Street.
Chiefs & Governors introduces important aspects of Fijian art and culture and highlights key moments of Fijian pre-colonial and colonial history. Combining historical and contemporary objects and installations, Chiefs and Governors emphasises the dynamism and creativity of Fiji.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue: Chiefs & Governors: Art and Power in Fiji by Anita Herle & Lucie Carreau.
Suitable for
- Any age

all trucks have cruise controll???
On my 04 2500HD, is does not have cruise...I fella at a car show told me that ALL newer trucks have the components for cruise control already installed. and that all I need to do is purchase the turn signal handle with cruise and extend the plug wires down into some plug under dash.
Does my truck most likely have the components for cruise controll?
Thanks, Mark
02-25-2008, 05:16 PM #2Most likely it does, yes but there are more than a couple parts to buy. Head to you local dealership and they should be able to hook you up.

5 Most Influential First Ladies of the 20th Century
Sunday, 13 March 2011 19:32 Published in PoliticsAsk the average American to list the five most influential U.S. presidents of the 20th century and a handful of names will be quickly mentioned. Ask the same person to name the five most influential first ladies of the 20th century and you'll likely be met with silence. That's not surprising, because for much of American history, first ladies have been in the background as their husbands ran the country.
Yet beginning with Eleanor Roosevelt and continuing into the latter half of the century, first ladies began taking a more active role in promoting social and charitable causes. That made compiling this list a challenge in choosing the first ladies whose influence has had a lasting impact on our society. For example, Lady Bird Johnson was left off the list although she inspired highway beautification efforts. Hillary Clinton would have made the top five save for the fact her legacy is still evolving.

According to weigh-in-motion data collected by fifteen states, the majority of 5-axle tractor-trailers on the road weigh between 33,000 and 73,000 lbs.Eleven percent of the tractor-trailers had weight recorded around 72,800 lbs and 10% around 68,300 lbs. Another 10% of tractor-trailers were on the lighter end of the scale – around 37,500 lbs.These data show that only a small percent of trucks on the road are near the maximum roadway gross vehicle weight of 80,000 lbs.Thus, most trucks are filling the trailer space to capacity (cubing-out) before they reach the maximum weight limit (weighing-out).
Note: Data are from these 15 States: California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington.

Grischuk wins 2nd World Blitz title in Astana (VIDEOS)
Alexander Grischuk won his second World Blitz Championship on Tuesday in Astana, Kazakhstan. Six years after his first title, won in in Rishon Lezion, Israel the Russian grandmaster finished clear first in Astana. Just like in the Rapid World Championship, Magnus Carlsen of Norway finished second. The third place went to the winner of the rapid event: Sergey Karjakin of Russia.

Even though it wasn't his first world blitz title, Alexander "Sacha" Grischuk was quite surprised that he actually won it in Astana. The reason? He was not in his best physical shape. Probably suffering from a flu, after the first day Grischuk declined an interview before our camera because of a sore throat. Just after the tournament finished, we did have a brief interview. "Somehow I started to score points and score points..."
Grischuk already started with a lead, as we know from our previous report: at half time he was a point ahead of Dmitry Andreikin, Vassily Ivanchuk and Sergey Karjakin. Magnus Carlsen was one more point behind.
Of these players only Karjakin won in the 16th round and so he came half a point closer to Grischuk. Ivanchuk fell back a bit; he lost to Gelfand and then to Andreikin.
Le Quang Liem had a much better second day. In fact over rounds 16-30 the Vietnamese player finished shared second with 9.5/15, the same score as Morozevich and Grischuk. In round 17 he defeated the eventual winner convincingly:
Magnus Carlsen again needed some rounds to warm up. His score over rounds 16-22 wasn't good: just 3/7. This included losses with White against Mamedyarov, Morozevich and Svidler.
However, when the Norwegian motor was finally running, it didn't stop. Carlsen finished with an amazing 8/8 which got him in fact the best score of the second day: 11.0/15. Grischuk's 9.5 was just half a point enough to finish ahead.
Carlsen won his last eight games | Photo courtesy of the organizers, more here
Carlsen won all three games against Sergey Karjakin. The last of these encounters was the most convincing:
After 17 rounds everything was possible, as Andreikin, Grischuk and Karjakin were all on 11 points, followed by Carlsen on 10. Grischuk then immediately regained clear first place in the standings by beating his compatriot Morozevich with Black.
Dmitry Andreikin kept on doing excellent, and after 21 rounds he caught Grischuk again; both were on 13.5 points. Topalov didn't have a chance.
In the same round, Grischuk and Karjakin drew their game.
Then one of the crucial games of the tournament followed. Andreikin went for exactly the same ending has Le Quang Liem had done the day before, and again Grischuk outplayed his opponent with the black pieces. Instructive stuff for KID players!
The winner: Grischuk, here against Kotsur | Photo courtesy of the organizers, more here
Here's another win by the winner from the 27th round.
We'll return to Carlsen once more, because one of his victims during his 8/8 streak was the eventual winner.
The following game needs some explanation, because Carlsen starting his game against Radjabov with 1.a4 had a little history. During the previous World Blitz Championship, in Moscow, November 2010, Radjabov had said to Carlsen:
Everyone is getting tired. You might as well start with 1.a4 and you can still beat them.
And so it was little inside joke (and a successful one):
The playing hall on the last day | Photo courtesy of the organizers, more here
Games rounds 16-30
World Blitz Championship 2012 | Final standings
Apart from Grischuk and Karjakin some participants were: Svidler, Morozevich, Caruana, Andreikin, Jakovenko, Liem, Andreikin and Carlsen slayers Nepomniachi and Sjigurov.
The fact that Karjakin had to play so many <2700 players only demonstrates that blitz ratings are not equal to standard ratings. Morozevich finished 42 f.e.
Defenitely a top event and you defenitely didn't even know it was played.
2nd example: the world rapid cup in 2010 was won by Karjakin. I suppose you didn't know that one either. He eliminated Grischuk in one of the last rounds btw. It seems Karjak won more speedplay events than your "best" player really. He certainly lost fewer..
Any event missing *all five* of the top players in the world can hardly be compared to events that contain several of them. It's much easier to win an event when the strongest players decide not to participate. As to Amber, Grischuk and Karjakin both participated in both years I referenced. Combined, they managed to score a grand total of -3 - hardly anything to write home about. They were also both in the World Blitz in 2009 and 2010. The highest either managed to place in either year was Karjakin's 3rd-4th place finish in 2009 - 6.5 points behind Carlsen. That's not bad at all, but it in no way shows that either of them comes close to being the best.
Don't misunderstand me - I'm not trying to take anything away from their victories here. They were well-played and well-deserved against a strong field. But one victory doesn't make you the best - and they have no other results to indicate that they truly are the strongest.
Results in blitz at world ch tournaments:
Grischuk 1rst, 3/4, 3, 9,1
Karjakin -, - , 3, 6, 1
Carlsen: -, 9, 1, 3, 2
Apart from that Carlsen lost a blitz match to Nakamura while Grischuk and Karjakin have won events like the Aeroflot blitz. Like you said, one victory doesn't make you best, especially when it was 3 years ago. Only Grischuk stands out a bit with his 2 titles and the best most recent performance.
At rapid Carlsen has only won Amber (1/2 2010, 1 2011) where nothing big is at stake and no serious title can be won (and I do wonder if all players took it as serious as him ). Do these results outweigh Anand and Aronians monsterscore in rapids like Mainz, Corsica and Amber? Or Karjakins achievements in more serious events?
I really think it isn't as clear (and as important, so I'll quit:-) as you seem to think.
Your presentation of "facts" is both incorrect and misleading in many ways as you know, so understandable that you quit.
"Apart from that Carlsen lost a blitz match to Nakamura"
Carlsen won a blitz match against Nakamura 24.5-15.5.
"At rapid Carlsen has only won Amber (1/2 2010, 1 2011) where nothing big is at stake and no serious title can be won (and I do wonder if all players took it as serious as him ). Do these results outweigh Anand and Aronians monsterscore in rapids like Mainz, Corsica and Amber? Or Karjakins achievements in more serious events?"
Amber is the by far strongest rapid event, but you count Corsica instead. In Corsica 2011 Anand played three opponents, Grigoryan, Sasikiran and Mamedyarov. In 2006 he lost the final against Kasimdzhanov after beating Golog, Gurevich and Kazhgaleyev. Compare with the field and result in the latest Amber rapid:
Also, when lining up Grischuk's results one could mention that he failed to qualify for last year's (later cancelled) blitz world championship after finishing 8th in the qualification. There's also the Tal Blitz 2012, with Carlsen as shared first, ahead of Grischuk:
Karjakin has considerably improved in the fairly recent past, so it's pretty odd and a bit unfair to him to include results from more than two years ago - Carlsen fans would also (understandably) object if sufficiently dated results of Carlsen are used to make a point.
Recent results by Karjakin at least suggest that his latest success wasn't an accident or fluke. In the given events, Karjakin and Grischuk were at least equal to Carlsen - I would say the best ones won, best ones _at this occasion_.
On longer timescales, Carlsen has an edge, the future will tell if he keeps an edge. Does Carlsen also have an edge over Anand and Aronian who were absent this time? One can certainly find statistics to prove this, one can also find statistics to prove the opposite.
I should have mentioned Tal blitz, I suppose I forgot about it because this event was in the same year. Anyway, Carlsen was 1/2 and Grischuk 3/4rd. It doesn't change the fact that Carlsen hasn't won more events than Grischuk at all.
And as for me only mentioning Nakamura's won match-the other one was a friendly all night gig at Carlsens hotel room and has no meaning what so ever. For once it wasn't an official event, and secondly Nakamura had just finished Tal memorial and Tal blitz whereas Carlsen had only played the blitz and was comparatively fresh. At any rate it's pretty bad that he lost a match against Nakamura at all. That's not being "clearly best", is it?
@ Anonynous
Another sore loser. Yes you are. I state the obvious for People like you---just in case you missed it. There's a big chance you got all caught up in the hype. You thought a 2830+ Rating was some kind of guarntee to win a tough Wch tournament like this. You're wrong. You think a 2830+ rating makes a better player than the World Champion. Wrong again.
But we (people who aren't that impressed with Dudley-Do-Right--Carlsen--since he backed out of the Wch qualifer) have to listen to your redundant exagerated praise of anything (draw win sneeze lose blunder) the guy does.
In 2010 Anand took second three tournaments in a row (Nanjing, Bilbao, London) and was ridiculed to no end by people just like you. Now what?
Listen buddy, I remember when movies were in black and white. And so was everything else.
Now now, lets be nice to RealityCheck. Being a Carlsen detractor almost never gives any reward - Carlsen has been world #1 almost constantly for three years, has placed 1st in 11 of his last 16 tournaments etc.
Let him bask in what little vindication he can muster from seeing Carlsen place "only" second in both tournaments.
Of course Carlsen's combined score from both events was 30 points (tied for first with Karjakin), but we'll ignore that measure of Carlsen's performance...
Second is also not bad, I guess? There are many great players, but Magnus is getting all the weird comment just because he came 2nd within 14 player event. People mostly prefer to hate that is the pathetic part!
Maybe Carlsen fanboys should stop with the silly predictions and comparisons as well. After all it was neither nice nor smart to (f.e.) say that Carlsen has no competition in this event. When those people are proven wrong these reactions are bound to happen. And usually it's only then that guys like you object to such comments.
By the way, it was a 16 player event even.
Congrats to Grishuk and Karjakin for winning a tournament each, great pleayers in really interesting event. World number 1 Magnus Carlsen finishes 2nd in BOTH events - clearly proving his consistency and overall class despite a very bad start in blitz. On a side note, I guess he probably also takes the highest prize money in Astana.
Guess you're right, misread sth (since 3rd and 4th prizes were shared in rapid).
Congrats to Sergei and Sasha. A triple triumph for Russia (Rapid, Blitz and the Russia-China match).
I agree, great stuff. Taking Russians lightly in chess never seems to be a good idea :-)
Congrats to Grischuk on his 2nd Blitz WC Title!
@RealityCheck- I'm not a Carlsen fanboy. However the way you talk about Carlsen is kinda petty and childish. And no , I never said he would win those titels. You always come up with those things. Where are they, those comments? Show em to me.
So, you are not a Carlsen fanboy. Good for you.
As for "the kinda petty and childish way I talk about Carlsen", this I do intentionally. I must in order to reach his petty and childish army of supporters.
In all honesty, I have no real beef with him. Lemme take a moment to congratulate him as our Vice Rapid & Bltiz World Champion. Oooo000ps! "Vice" as in Vice-President, is not a cool word in FIDE circles these days.
How about this: Congratulations Magnus Carlsen!! World No. 2 Rapid & Blitz Champion. You did a fine job clawing your way back up the score board. Better luck in Biel.
Overall I saw great sport and had a lot of fun watching the games. I have to say though, that the organization of the FIDE is abysmal. Why are there so many top players missing? Imagine Wimbledon with that kind of line up. I think that a world championship deserves the best players and not just a dozen but the top 100 should compete like in any other sport. What really would be needed is are semifinals and a grand final. Before there could could be round-robin or swiss, but a real final is a must. Like in all other sports.
I also must say there were too many Russians and others from the area. That is not good for chess and unfair. It could not happen in any other sport. It also leaves room for manipulation. E.g. in round 27 in the very important game of Grischuk against Ivanchuk on move 46 Ivanchuk made a very strange move. He missed to take a pawn with check - very, very simple and obvious - which would have equalized the position. Maybe it was a honest error. But it secured the win for Grischuk.
What should FIDE have done to make all top players participate? Kidnap them and put them on a plane to Astana? Come up with drastic sanctions such as removing them from the Elo list if they don't play?
Location and date may have been inconvenient (the event was even stronger when it was held in Moscow right after Tal Memorial). The surplus of "Soviet" players merely reflects the situation at the world top (and a bit the fact that Anand and Nakamura declined their invitations), maybe that's not the case in other sports - even though marathon races are also dominated by runners from Kenya, Ethiopia and (less so) other African countries. I don't think that Ivanchuk from Ukraine was deliberately helping Grischuk from Russia - according to your handle you may be Norwegian so it's worthwhile mentioning that Ivanchuk's losses against Carlsen were far stranger than the ones against Grischuk.
And there actually was a qualifier, open to about the top 8000 (Elo >2300) which also attracted mostly "Soviet" players
Ivanchuk played some strange moves against Carlsen too, don't forget it was blitz games.. Besides, Ivanchuk isn't even Russian.
Ok I'll take the bait: Check your facts. Like Thomas said, Ivanchuk is not a Russian. Take a look at the games of Ivanchuk vs Carlsen. In 2 games he had won positions yet he didn't win any of them. Missing mate, blundering pieces. Those things happen. And today they happened mostly to the opponents of Carlsen. So do you think that Magnus paid Ivanchuk to throw the games?!
Excluding players because of their nationality, that would be unfair!
Besides, those "unknown" Russian players were refreshing playing stuff like 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Nf6 3. Nf3 Nxe4 and the Petroff..
As for the organisation, to me it looked pretty good and I think the organisers deserve praise.
What a fault of respectt by Carlsen during the national anthem of Russia! (official video provided by chessbase.com)
Which one? It was played twice in a row. Not exactly a short version at that. A kind of a running gag.
Congratz to Grischuk, but also a good performance of Carlsen.
there will be doubts..russian playing against russian especially if one is in for the title.
carlsen still the best,one would think that he was prevented from winning by the russians.
There will be no doubts; one would not think. Stop with the conspiracy theories. They are idiotic and boring.
In two games it probably mattered that the players are from the same country, the quick draws between Radjabov and Mamedyarov - even Sofia rules cannot prevent early move repetitions (their drawn rapid game had been a bit longer with a little 'content').
The second time (round 26) Radjabov playing white had still certain medal chances so the game [not necessarily the result] was a bit surprising for me. If he had won - with or without a blunder from the opponent - eyebrows may have been raised, but it would be no evidence for collusion. From Mamedyarov's point of view, it would even be understandable if he wasn't fully concentrated!? "For me (10.5/25) it doesn't really matter any more, for my friend (14.5/25) it does."
Anyway, a rapid world championship without Anand is not really a "world championship" but still congrats to the "russians" new or old for their wins and Carlsen for his come back. Lots of fun an drama and this kind of events !
So it's easy for Anand (or Aronian or Kramnik or Nakamura, or Carlsen at an earlier occasion?) to 'invalidate' a world championship: all they have to do is decline their invitation(s)!?
This sort of reminds me of the Tournament vs Match debate launched after Anand won in Mexico. Which system to determine the World Champion was the real deal? At the time there was an overwhelming majority in favor of the Match system. This kind of argument was often posed by folks bent on invalidating the Wch Title Anand now owned.
Carlsens' management team used his withdrawl (a failed tactic) from the Candidates Matches in the same way: to invalidate the qualifier and ultimately the 2012 Wch. And, Kasparov kept the party line alive during the contest with his crude remarks....
+1. But Anand has shown that he wins when it matters. In a WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP, no matter the format. And Carlsen just failed at that. He lost the fight for the title twice which is pretty bad if you market yourself as the best. And he was not even beaten by top players like Kramnik, Aronian and Anand but by supposedly second rate GM's.
Let's see if he does better in the classical cycle. At least he is playing this time.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - West Virginia Power outfielder Josh Bell said it's always fun to play baseball for a living, but when you're surging like he and his teammates have been since April 29, your days can't get much better.
"It's awesome," Bell said. "It's a grind and the bus rides are a definite grind, but when you're going out to war with a group guys that are all playing well and all have each other's backs, that makes it a lot easier."
In sweeping Wednesday's doubleheader with the Greenville Drive, 7-3 and 7-6, the Power also swept the four-game series and climbed to .500 for the season (16-16). West Virginia has won five consecutive games and seven of its last eight.
"We want to pitch it, we want to pick it up and we want to run the bases aggressively," Power Manager Mike Ryan said. "It's a recipe for success and it's been showing. We're starting to play better in close games where we're not putting pressure on our defense because we've been playing some really good defense.
"The nervousness is going away. We're really aggressive on the bases and we're getting outstanding pitching, which is the story of what we're going to be."
In the first game, the Power waded through soggy conditions to post the win. West Virginia jumped to a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the third. Drive starter Cody Kukuk walked in the first run, then gave up a two-run single to right to Power catcher Francisco Diaz. D.J. Crumlich then came home on a Raul Fortunato fielder's choice.
Greenville cut the lead to 4-3 in the fifth when Power starter Clay Holmes walked Mookie Betts and Cody Coback, then gave way on the mound to Thomas Harlan. Harlan gave up a single, then walked home both Betts and Coback. West Virginia responded with a Diaz RBI single in the fifth and a towering two-run home run from Bell in the sixth, his fifth of the year.
Ryan said Holmes, Harland and Kyle Haynes all pitched well despite adverse weather. The skies opened up about halfway through the seven-inning first game and threatened to end that contest after five innings. But the rain subsided long enough to get through.

2001 OPEN FORUM Abstracts
Marsha A. Rogers CRT, RobertChatburn RRT, FAARC, Timothy R. Myers BS, RRT. Rainbow Babies and Children'sHospital, Cleveland, OH.
Introduction: Asthma is achronic inflammatory airway disease that affects approximately 5 million childrenin the United States. While asthma is the most common discharge diagnosis inpediatric hospitals, it also accounts for significant daily morbidity. Childrenwith asthma tend to have increased airway sensitivity to a variety of stimuli,such as allergens, irritants, and viruses. Often, an offending environmentaltrigger can in large part be located within the patient's own home. While asthmaticfamilies appeared to have a solid foundation of knowledge in relation to thedisease and medications prescribed, this knowledge base appears inadequate inidentifying causative triggers (Resp Care 1998; 43(10) 844). Asthma triggereducation could potentially be streamlined to specific, common indoor inner-cityallergens if they could be identified. The purpose of this study was to identifyspecific indoor asthma triggers or trigger categories present in inner-cityhomes.
Methods: Over a 3-month period(May-August), all family caregivers of patients admitted to our Asthma CareUnit (ACU) were asked to complete a questionnaire to identify indoor asthmatriggers that were present in their place of residence. The questionnaire wasdesigned to identify allergens by category; Second-hand Smoke, Dust Mites, Fumes,Pets, Pests and Mold. Each main trigger category had specific allergens andsome potential preventative or causative behaviors.
Results: A total of 113 childrenand their families participated in this descriptive pilot study on Inner-cityindoor asthma triggers. Presence of indoor triggers identified by families rangedfrom 0-11 triggers (out of a possible 22 listed). The average number of identifiedindoor triggers per home was 5.2. The five most prevalent sources of potentialtriggers in this cohort of patients were: carpeting in child?s bedroom (76.1%),presence of gas stove (72.6%), carpeting in "television" room (63.7%), presenceof stuffed animals in the child's bedroom (60.2%) and exposure to second-handsmoke (32.7%). On a preventative note, the following percentages of familiesreported potential positive trigger remediation behaviors: washing of bed linens>1 time/week (87%), vacuuming of carpets >2 times/week (78.8%), householdsreporting no smokers (76.6%) and presence of dust proof casings on pillows andmattresses (25.7%). In the tables below are results reported for presence oftriggers by category (averages) and identified triggers per household (percentages).
IdentifiedTriggers by Category | ||||
Dust Mites | 2.28 | Pets | 1.18 | |
Fumes | 1.65 | Pests | 1.09 | |
Second-handsmoke | 1.36 | Molds | 0.50 | |
IndoorTriggers Present per Household | ||||
None | 2 (1.8%) | Six | 22 (19.5%) | |
One | 2 (1.8%) | Seven | 15(13.3%) | |
Two | 4 (3.5%) | Eight | 7 (6.2%) | |
Three | 10 (8.6%) | Nine | 2 (1.8%) | |
Four | 24 (21.2% | Ten | 1 (0.9%) | |
Five | 22 (19.5%) | Eleven | 2 (1.8% |
Conclusion:Most inner-city asthmatic families that participated in this study had exposureto significant amounts of indoor allergens in their own homes.

The third anniversary of the international day of solidarity with Marie Mason, Eric McDavid, and other longterm anarchist prisoners is quickly approaching! We realize that it may seem like there is a lot of time before the day, but we hope that you're starting to plan your 2013 events and that we can work together to make this the most powerful June 11th yet. To tell us about an event you have planned, email email@example.com
To learn more about the day, click "about"; to download posters, hand-outs, and zines to distribute, click "resources"; to find links to support pages and articles, click "links"; to see what happened in 2011 and 2012, click here
June 11, 2013: Connection, Resistance, Celebration
Solidarity events and actions for long-term anarchist prisoners
This year, we celebrated the third annual international day of solidarity with Marie Mason, Eric McDavid, and long-term anarchist prisoners. Below, we share the reports received from organizers of support events around the world along with anonymously-published communiqués from solidarity actions. We've noted with pleasure how comrades from diverse locales have appropriated the call for solidarity, by:
Continuing to provide direct support to Marie, Eric, and other prisoners via letter-writing and fundraising.
Organizing, with increasing frequency, events like conversations, dinners and debates. These strengthen local struggles and better connects them to companions who've been kidnapped by the state to be held in cells.
Further elaborating the direct struggle against the structures of domination, not only by continuing to carry out actions but by concretely demonstrating new connections in the web of power (particularly by acting against surprising targets) that imprisons our friends, comrades, and loved ones.
Building new networks against repression and imprisonment, and connecting via solidarity seemingly disconnected prisoners.
In the spirit of this last point, we'd like to thank everyone who organized events and carried out actions that made it clear that Marie and Eric aren't the only prisoners facing repression, but are instead part of a worldwide movement. In particular, local organizers linked June 11 to these other prisoners and comrades: Oso Blanco, Walter Bond, Chilean anarchists in both the old and new cases, grand jury resisters in the USA, Richard Williams (combatant who died in a US prison in 2005), those facing the campaign of anti-anarchist state violence in Greece, the Cleveland 4, the Tinley Park 5, along with others we've overlooked. It's important that long-term anarchist prisoners receive specific solidarity, since they are particularly susceptible to being lost in the oblivion of the state's dungeons and communications management units. However, it's also clear that they must not be treated in isolation from others struggling against repression.
We are also heartened that so many of the events linked Marie and Eric's experiences to ongoing struggles in defense of the earth and animals. Multiple cities organized solidarity events that were also in explicit opposition to the Tar Sands pipelines, while others linked the organizing to action against animal exploitation and prisons. Many of the solidarity dinners were vegan, echoing the conscious choice of both Marie and Eric to maintain their vegan diets, despite the challenges of doing so in prison.
The fight for Marie and Eric's freedom is not limited to a single day per year, but is present whenever we resist prison-society and the forces of domination. They, and all of us, will be a little closer to freedom if the hunger strikers up and down the west coast of the USA succeed at challenging the power of the prison system. We'll all be safer if the repressive drive of the grand juries in NYC and the Pacific Northwest is brought to a halt, and if the Mapuche indictees are acquitted in Chile.
Jock Palfreeman, a long-term anarchist prisoner in Bulgaria, was just denied the transfer to Australia that he has been fighting for, and has requested support and pressure against the prison officials. Further, Krow, arrested on June 11 in an eco-action against mining in the Penokee mountains of Wisconsin, urgently needs support. We call for solidarity with everyone facing repression in these situations. The happy news of Kostas Sakkas' recent release from jail, secured by his hunger strike alongside intense collective struggle, confirms the importance of revolutionary solidarity. Regardless of whether our actions successfully return our comrades to the streets, the practice of solidarity always leaves us stronger.
The list below is not comprehensive, but does represent perhaps half of the events and actions organized for June 11, 2013. Please see http://june11.org/events.html for the full list of planned events from this year. We invite others to continue to post news and report-backs from other solidarity efforts, and would like to thank the translation collective of Contrainfo.espiv.net for their work in diffusing news.

Athens, Greece
"Free Marie Mason & Eric McDavid, And All political prisoners. Antispeciesist Action"
June 11th has been defined as a day of international solidarity with comrades Eric McDavid and Marie Mason and with all political prisoners who are incarcerated all over the world. Imprisoned comrades experience this situation not only due to their direct action and the transubstantiation of their words into action, but also because of their choice to be anarchists.
In the struggle for degradation and destruction of state/authoritarian complex, anarchist comrades and activists-abroad and in Greece, too-consider as an integral part of animal and earth liberation human liberation, too.
In U.S.A., the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front have been proclaimed by the FBI as the No. 1 enemy of domestic terrorism. Eric McDavid and Marie Mason were arrested in January 2006 and September 2008 respectively, without proof but with plenty of accusations. The State's choice of their imprisonment was far more than random.
Marie was arrested in May 2008 by the federal authorities for charges related to two acts of property damage which were claimed by ELF in 1999 and 2000: damage of an office connected to a GMO's (Genetically Modified Organisms) research and destroying a piece of logging equipment. She faced a life imprisonment before accepting a plea bargain, in September 2008. She was sentenced on February 5, 2009 to almost 22 years - the longest sentence of any "Green Scare" prisoner. ("Green Scare" is the name given to the arrests of animal rights and environmental activists accused of economic sabotage. Federal authorities have requested insane penalties -often life imprisonment- and have named the activists as "terrorists", despite the fact that no one has ever been killed or injured in any of these actions). The penalty imposed to Marie was even larger than the one that was suggested by the prosecutor who indicted her. The appeal for reduction of her sentence was rejected in 2010.
In the case of Eric McDavid, the state charged him with "thought crime", i.e that he was thinking of doing some aggressive actions, without them having been carried out, or any other evidence against him. Currently, he is serving a 20-year-sentence in federal prison since January 2006 when he was arrested as a part of the ongoing campaign "Green Scare" of the U.S. government. Eric was trapped by an undercover informant who spied every move of his. He was targeted by the state for his political beliefs and his case is indicative of the dimension that can be taken by the repression against anyone who dares to resist.
The repression against anarchists is something that also escalates in Greece. The state clearly shows its position against any hostile moves towards authoritarian structures: arrests, DNA and fingerprint identifications, publishing photos and personal data, targeting friendly and personal relationships, beatings, preventive detentions. All these means are used aiming to set an example to the outside people (i.e: the non-imprisoned ones) and to exhaust the inside people (the imprisoned ones).
As far as our actions are concerned, we hung two banners and spread several flyers in the streets of Athens to show our solidarity towards our comrades. Solidarity is our connection with the imprisoned comrades and it is expressed in many different forms: from solidarity texts, demonstrations, events, to arsons, robberies for the financial support of comrades, explosive attacks and sabotage.
No prisoner in the hands of state! Assembly for the Antispeciesist Action (Greece) http://antispe.squat.gr/ [1]
Austin, Texas, USA
Nearly 40 letters were written to Eric, Marie and other political prisoners at a solidarity gathering. We had a lot of zines left over, some of which were left at Treasure City Thrift (a radical thrift store, and the place where the event was held) while the rest were sent to other prisoners through the local Books to Prisoners program.
Bloomington, Indiana, USA
We hung two banners to honor anarchist and antifascist comrades from Bloomington who have
been kidnapped by the state. Marie Mason is doing 22 years for actions including arsons against developments on Lake Monroe, while the members of the Tinley Park 5 are doing 1-5 years for violently
breaking up a nazi meeting. Even with so much repression, struggles here continue to develop
along lines of class-conscious action, against all forms of domination.
We will never forget our prisoners.
Solidarity with the comrades in Brussels. We won't rest until the prison-world is reduced to ashes.
Bloomington, Indiana, USA
June 11 celebrations were kicked off by a memorial hike to the Prometheus tree, the site of a successful treesit that counted Marie among its participants. A few days later, a solidarity demo was held and later that night, more than 50 people gathered for a cook-out and letter-writing party. We rounded off the evening with a benefit organized by the Punk Rock Karaoke collective.
Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
$270 was raised, several dozen letters written, with a call-in rally for Oso Blanco, and along with workshops and music.
Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
On June 11th we hosted a night of letter writing, art, and dance. A total of probably 30 people showed up. We wrote over 40 letters to prisoners, raised money for the Cleveland 4, and gave a presentation about Marie, Eric, and the Cleveland 4. We played 'smash the surveillance camera pinatas,' 'pin the bolt cutters on the prison bars,' and ended with a dance party.
Hamburg, Germany
For more than one and a half years we've organized on one day a month an open space in Hamburg(Germany), called "Solidaritätswerkstatt", for information about the prison(-system), about resistance against it and for organizing solidarity and support for and with (combative) prisoners. Our last day of "Solidaritätswerkstatt" (06.06.13) we dedicated to the international day of solidarity with Marie Mason, Eric McDavid, and other long-term anarchist prisoners. On this day we had an info-table with the June 11 call, some flyers about Marie and Eric, some stuff about the E.L.F. and (anti-)prison in general. Although there were not many people, we could send some solidarity-letters to Marie and Eric and spread some information about their cases. We appreciate the attempt to connect the anti-prison structures, the rebellious people outside and inside the prisons worldwide to spread the idea of attacking this prison-system through subversive solidarity by all available means. Strength and courage to you, Marie and Eric! Strength and courage to all the fighting and rebellious prisoners in the world! Freedom for all!
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
On June 11, we had a film screening of "Cointelpro 101" here in Hamilton, Ontario as part of the international day of solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners. After the screening, this year's letters from Eric and Marie were read and addresses and information about North American and European anarchist prisoners were shared. We then had an actually meaningful discussion covering repression, security, and anarchist engagement in our town!
Houston, Texas, USA
June 11th was pleasant and intimate in Houston. The day brought together around 10 people ranging from people engaged with current struggle against the Tar Sands project to people who knew Marie from organizing she did in Ohio. We took advantage of the opportunity to update each other on Marie's conditions around communication (it was a relief to understand why letters hadn't been responded to!) and to talk about the Green Scare as well as recent repression in response to anti-Tar Sands organizing. Letters were written, we watched If a Tree Falls, and enjoyed some delicious vegan cupcakes.
Madrid, Spain
June 11th in Madrid was more successful than we expected! About 35 people gathered at the Local Anarquista Magdalena (http://www.localanarquistamagdalena.org/) to talk about the cases of Marie and Eric and other US anarchist prisoners facing long sentences. We also discussed the Green Scare and the current Grand Juries targeting anarchists in the Pacific Northwest and in New York City. The audio of the talk can be downloaded here: http://ia601802.us.archive.org/5/items/Charla11Junio/11Junio2013.mp3
A zine, compiled by La Cizalla Acrata (http://lacizallaacrata.nuevaradio.org/) using an indispensable resource of international political prisoner addresses created by CNA Peninsula Ibérica also distributed at the event (original version of the list, in Spanish, can be found here http://www.nodo50.org/cna/?page_id=85).
After the presentation, participants walked to the three metro stops in Lavapies: Tirso de Molina, Anton Martin, and Plaza Lavapies, and hung banners including "Contra su represión, nuestrx solidaridad" (against their repression, our solidarity), and others against prisons and repression.
Melbourne, Australia
Propaganda and messages were spread on the streets.
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
In Minneapolis, organizers put together a low-key event in solidarity with Eric and Marie on the evening of June 10. Several bands played, folks talked about the cases, all in our local worker-owned/run Seward Cafe. About 50 people came in throughout the event, and in the end we raised about $800. Our goal wasn't really to raise money (though we're stoked we did!), but to create a chill weekday evening event in which to re-affirm and grow a local community of support for Eric and Marie. It feels like the event was a success in many ways!
Never Alone Exhibit
For June 11, 2013 Sacramento Prisoner Support organised an online exhibition fundraiser for Marie & Eric - "Never Alone" (neveraloneart.org) which ran for the month of June. Sixteen different artists, including Marie & Eric themselves, and supporters from as far away as Tasmania, contributed to a beautiful exhibition of works inspired by themes of earth & animal liberation, and state captivity. The exhibition was projected at a few other June 11 events, and we received a lot of inspiring and lovely feedback from supporters. Activists in the radical uprising in Turkey are even using one of the pieces of artwork in their struggle.
We were able to make a great donation to Eric & Marie's support funds, thanks to the generosity of the artists involved and the people who supported the exhibition with purchases and helped spread the word. The exhibition will be happening again next year, please get in touch if you are interested in being involved email@example.com. Many thanks to the artists: Marie Mason, Eric McDavid, Cristy Road, Josh MacPhee, Eileen McDavid, Jeff Luers, Eva Hall, Corina Dross, Pete Maarseveen, Sofia Yu, Ali Cat Leeds, Matt Guack, Pat Perry, J. Ost, Dee Allen and Yank.
Northeast Kingdom, Vermont, USA
Wheelock Mountain Farm, a non-profit 600 acre land trust and popular education center (wheelockmtnfarm.weebly.com), hosted a potluck, info session, and letter writing event on June 11th in Solidarity with Marie Mason, Eric McDavid, and other long term ecodefense prisoners. In attendance were approximately 50 folks from across central and northern Vermont including Sally Stoddard (wife of deceased Ohio 7 PP Richard Williams), and their adult aged children Henekis and Netdahe. The crowd was comprised of a diverse mix of families, farmers, teachers, healers, organizers, Earth First!ers, Mountain Occupiers, anarchists, and communitarians.
In addition to sharing lots of literature, information, and conversation, we gathered many (20+) letters for Eric, Marie, and Lynne Stewart. Some of the most moving letters were written by the young children in attendance. They were not prompted, but wrote of their own volition because of a profound desire to protect the earth and confusion about why people who were fighting for it were in prison. Some 20 folks spent the night at the farm, and devoted the following morning to discussing the tar sands pipeline proposed to transect Vermont.
After getting everyone caught up on the details of the project, and brainstorming how to stop it, we drove along the route to discover possible points of intervention and to gain greater first hand knowledge of the communities and ecosystems jeopardized by the project. The love and dedication motivating Marie and Eric's actions continue to bring together amazing people in Vermont, and inspire and inform our collective struggles to defend the land while building healthy and empowered communities. Marie and Eric will be in our hearts and on our minds all year, but we look forward to gathering again in their honor next June 11th.
Olympia, Washington, USA
It's easy and fun to attack! In the early hours of June 11 we glued the locks and a keypad on two doors of the westside police substation in Olympia. It really wasn't difficult at all. With gloves, masks, and a couple tubes of superglue, we were able to render the locks inoperable. A little bit of superglue squirted into the keyhole goes a long way, and it's quick and silent. Do you have a spare hour in the dark of the night? Well then you could do this quite easily too.
June 11 is the international day of solidarity with Eric McDavid, Marie Mason, and other longterm anarchist prisoners. Eric McDavid is 7 years into a 20-year prison sentence for the thoughtcrime of "conspiracy," after being entrapped by a paid government informant, known only as "Anna." Marie Mason is 5 years into a 22-year prison sentence for being involved in actions that damaged an office connected to GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) research, and destroyed a piece of logging equipment.
There are many important ways to support imprisoned comrades; tonight we chose to attack a symbol of state control in order to send a small greeting of solidarity and complicity to Marie and Eric. The police are an integral part of the same system that stole Marie and Eric away from their loved ones and keeps them in a cage. The police are the guard dogs of capitalism, which depends on constant expansion and the destruction of all that is wild. The police can lock in cages those who rebel against the ruling order or simply dream of a life worth living, but they can never lock away our rage.
Fuck yeah, wreck some shit!
some anarchists
Olympia, Washington, USA
In solidarity with Steve, Kerry, and other grand jury resisters on the run, and in celebration of the annual day of solidarity with long-term anarchist prisoners, a big front door at a Mormon church in Olympia had its glass busted out and lock glued on June 10.
The Mormon Church, and churches in general are institutions of the systems of patriarchy, white supremacy, homophobia and hierarchy in general. We are against those who would tell us that we must submit to authority, whether that be "god," the father, the state, or some religious leader.
For the destruction of every church, school, factory, courthouse, prison, police station, and border! Stay wild and free!
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
At least three events took place this year in Pittsburgh for June 11, a letter writing early in the day, followed by a demo on a busy intersection and a fundraiser dance party in the evening.
At the demo we hung numerous banners such as "burn the prison,""a comrade in prison is a call to action," "solidarity with Marie & Eric" and several others, converting a rapidly gentrifying area to a temporary anarchist space. We also had the benefit of a loud sound system blasting hot jams, and people chalking up the sidewalks and walls with anarchist slogans, handing out info about June 11 to cars and pedestrians. Eventually the police arrived, apparently somebody had complained and said we were doing "something about Marie Mason, against prison and playing Fuck the Police loudly", so we are confident that our message was communicated effectively. The police quickly left finding we had already packed up the sound system. To conclude the demo a couple people spoke about local environmental defense and ongoing struggles against prison.
Later in the evening was a dance party, with delicious refreshments for sale and all money benefiting Eric and Marie. $1100 was raised, well beyond anybodies expectations. As the party was winding down a few bored uncontrollables took to the streets with torches and burned an effigy of an FBI agent in the middle of an intersection and dispersed quickly, wrapping up the day with a small but energetic expression of rage.
Portland, Oregon, USA
Action taken for the anarchist prisoners
Locks glued shut at Sheepskin of Oregon on NW Glisan Street. This action took only a few seconds. It was quiet, easily reproducible, and caused financial loss to capitalists who profit off of misery and exploitation.
In solidarity with the grand jury resisters, in solidarity with Eric, Marie, and the long-term anarchist prisoners.
Prague and Caslav, Czech Republic
( http://anarchistblackcross.cz/zpravy/2013/06/16/caslav-solidaritu-s-vezn... )
"Earth liberation is not a terrorism. Freedom for
Eric McDavid and Marie Mason"
There was an info evening organised in anarchist infoshop Salé in Prague.
Around ten people came for the dinner and short speech about cases of Eric
McDavid and Marie Mason. Finally, some letters for both of them were
written, which was actually the main reason to organize this meeting.
In other city, called Caslav, there was also info evening and the movie
If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front was screened. After
that, people wrote collective letter to Eric and Maria and a banner was hung on the bridge over a highway.
Sacramento, California, USA
Approximately 30 people gathered for a short talk about
Marie and Eric, followed by a screening of "Who Bombed Judi Bari?" A
lively Q&A about government repression and prisoner solidarity ended the
evening. Money was also raised for Marie and Eric.
Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
June 11th was observed in Salt Lake City, Utah in two ways. The first was a day in the park on Saturday, June 9th organized by the ABC. This included a vegan pie baking/judging contest and a prisoner letter writing table. A donation based dinner plate with jackfruit shepherds pie was prepared and exchanged, with all proceeds being donated to Eric and Marie. This was a family friendly event with a deep sea clean up line (fishing line for those of you who grew up Mormon) and balloon animals.
On June 11th, the Salt Lake Anarchist Black Cross also hosted their monthly Prisoner Letter Writing night.
St. Louis, Missouri, USA
Commuters along the many interstates that intersect in this city found new reason to turn their heads on June 11th. Several highway spots were painted in solidarity with Marie Mason, Eric McDavid and all long-term anarchist prisoners. Not pictured are the 'Free Eric McDavid' and 'Fire to the Prisons'
slogans painted in the same spot. This action was a very small acknowledgement of the importance of this day and of not forgetting comrades stolen by the state.
Tel Aviv, Israel
It was an amazing event, so many people came, around 50-60 people which really exceeded our expectations, people of all walks of political activism, from animal rights people, to human rights activists- people from anarchists against the wall, people from workers rights movement etc. We laboured for two days on the food but it was worth it since it was delicious and everybody loved it. We talked about Eric and Marie's cases and about repression in general in the U.S. today, on grand jury resisters etc. people were really interested and asked many questions. We are super happy with how good it went. We have images of people holding a sign "I support Eric", "I support Marie" were sent to them. Also a few people wrote postcards, which were also sent. The program of workshops was as follows:
* workshops- direct action why, how, and how not to *Prisoner support and letter writing * Italian meal (naturally vegan)- Cannelloni, lasagna, gazpacho, antipasti, focaccia and much more. * Letter-writing area and zines, support t-shirt area. * Screening of the film Bold Native.

June 11th is the international day of solidarity with Eric McDavid, Marie
Mason, and other longterm anarchist prisoners. If you are planning on
doing an event for the day, please email us at june11[at]riseup[dot]net. You can find
resources, information about events from previous years, and word on
upcoming events at june11.org. Read on to see our thoughts on what it
means to do longterm solidarity, on how Eric and
Marie inspire us, and to learn how June 11th began.
The state stole Eric McDavid and Marie Mason from us in 2006 and 2008 respectively. In the years since their arrests, repression has come to feel less like a specific event and more like an inescapable, ongoing nightmare. Sentenced to 22 years and 20 years, respectively, Marie and Eric remain in cages to this day, and know this nightmare more intimately than most.
Lately, we hear lots of talk about the end times, and total environmental collapse seems imminent. But what do these forces mean to those inside prison cells? And what do they mean for us on the outside? We are trying to save both each other and some shred of wildness on this earth. Our task is difficult, and sometimes seems impossible, because the harder we fight, the more repression we face. Every day we lose more species, more land, more friends... and this process shows no signs of slowing. How do we survive and continue to struggle in the face of this reality?
If winning was our only goal, it would be easy to quit. But although we may fight to win, we also fight because, in this situation, to fight means to live. From the outside it's easy to equate a prison sentence with the end of everything... but Marie and Eric are still fighting. With both our love for them and our hatred for their jailers intact, we fight alongside them.
That means not only continuing our struggles on the outside, but also engaging with the imprisoned in ways that keep them connected to their friends and communities on the outside. The state has kidnapped our friends, and we must ensure that the state is not successful in its attempts to isolate and destroy them. Our struggle can only continue if we struggle together.
June 11th is a means to that end. June 11th is about remembering-- not in the way that we remember a fact or history, but an active remembering: a re-membering, a putting back together. It is often easier for us to raise money and generate material support for people who have just been arrested than for people who have been locked away with many years in prison ahead. This day is a time for us to concentrate our energy, resources and love on those people, who cannot be forgotten.
June 11th has also become a staging ground for building our international ties of solidarity. The last two years have seen an incredible show of support from people outside of the US for Eric and Marie, and some efforts within the US to show solidarity to long-term anarchist prisoners in other places. This year, we hope to have more translations, more cross-referencing of struggle, and a further broadening of solidarity that does not take away, but adds. We refuse to recognize their borders; we aim to make that refusal more tangible.
June 11th is only two months away. Hold a fundraiser, plan a noise demo, host a letter-writing night, or use your own context and imagination to explore other possibilities. Use your creative energies to show your comrades that they're not alone and that we will continue to struggle for them, for the earth, and for total liberation. They have tried to destroy us, that's what they do--but Marie and Eric, Justin Solondz, Marco Camenisch, the grand jury resisters of today and tomorrow, and so many others show us how to survive those attempts. Let's make June 11th a celebration of our shared survival and resistance.

PS For a brief history of June 11th, click here
P.P.S. Here are some of Marie's and Eric's words that we find comforting and inspiring.
Marie: I have been processing a lot of my own history this year, probably just a function of so much isolation and time spent in confined quarters. In my former free life, if I was faced with difficult decisions or sadness, trauma or trouble I would go to the woods and hike, or swim in one of my beloved Great Lakes to find solace and focus. The natural world is my source of strength and my comfort. It has been hard to be unable to walk on the ground, touch a tree or see the sky without metal in between. Prison on the compound was one level of removal from life, but this is another level of intensity entirely. So it was a joy to be able to hear from so many folks actively working in service to this Earth, to be inspired by you all and to be comforted to know that, though I am no longer able to walk with you, that you are continuing the journey forward. That is my comfort now.
Eric: 7 yrs... i can't say it's easy 2 put these words dn on paper – that it doesn't pain me 2 look bk over these past 7 trips around the Sun... w/the process of the courts continuing n the final appeal stages; it's end yet 2 show up on the horizon = no illusions, while still Dancing w/wishes... Love & Joy have also made their presence known = the overwhelming support from all over the Earth ~ i wish 2 Thank every persyn/grp that has written & supported me along this journey – Ur intents, N which ever forms they've taken, have aided & nourished me N remembering who i am N a situation & environment bent on unraveling, dismembering & remolding...along w/all the communal Solidarity, i'm grateful 4 the support of friends & family - & how i've been buoyed by the Love and Passionate Patience of my Partner = i Love you J, you R my Joy... … i'm unable 2 adequately express my feelings of Respect & Solidarity 4 all the folx Dancing w/the overt repression across the continent while staying True 2 their Hearts... 2 the folx Dancing w/Grand Juries = bide Ur time, this is 1 of the few circ.s where time is on the SD of the oppressed... w/N this cultural climate the Path is not easy or simple by any means – making it all the more important 2 find those unique, ever changing, beautiful & sustainable ways 2 aid & nurture each other... …. i'll close wishing that each of U continue 2 explore & heal Ur Hearts & communities; may U find the space & time over the coming yr 2 let Ur minds play w/new & safe communication skills, & Ur bodies w/self-defense...
