Bisbee is a city in Cochise County, Arizona, United States, 82 mi (132 km) southeast of Tucson. According to 2005 Census Bureau estimates, the population of the city was 6,177.[1] The city is the county seat of Cochise County.[3]
Bisbee was founded as a copper, gold, and silver mining town in 1880, and named in honor of Judge DeWitt Bisbee, one of the financial backers of the adjacent Copper Queen Mine.
In 1929, the county seat was moved from Tombstone, Arizona, to Bisbee, where it remains.
Mining industry[edit]
Mining in the Mule Mountains proved quite successful: in the early 20th century the population of Bisbee soared. Incorporated in 1902, by 1910 its population swelled to 9,019 and it sported a constellation of suburbs, including Warren, Lowell, and San Jose, some of which had been founded on their own (ultimately less successful) mines. In 1917, open pit mining was successfully introduced to meet the heavy copper demand due to World War I.
High quality turquoise was a by-product of the copper mining and has been promoted as Bisbee Blue. Bisbee is noted for the variety of copper minerals and the high-quality specimens that have been taken from its mines. Bisbee specimens can be found in museums worldwide. Cuprite, aragonite, wulfenite, malachite, azurite, and galena are just a few of the minerals that have been found underneath the town.
Bisbee deportation[edit]
- For full article see: Bisbee Deportation
In 1917, the Phelps Dodge Corporation shipped more than 1,000 striking miners out of the town at gunpoint, because they were believed to be members of the Industrial Workers of the World and the company was trying to prevent unionization.[4] They were transported to Hermanas, New Mexico. Earlier in that year of national labor unrest, in central Arizona, the Jerome Deportation took place.
Mining decline and closure[edit]
By 1950, boom times were over and the population of the City of Bisbee had dropped to less than 6,000, but the introduction of open-pit mining and continued underground work would see the town escape the fate of many of its early contemporaries. However, in 1975 the Phelps Dodge Corporation finally halted its Bisbee copper-mining operations. The resulting exodus of mine employees might have been the end of the town. Phelps Dodge Corporation closed the Bisbee underground mines in the summer of 1975. Bisbee Mayor Chuck Eads, with the generous cooperation of Phelps Dodge, brought to reality the idea of opening a mine tour through a portion of the world-famous Copper Queen Mine. Mayor Eads felt that history of mining should be kept alive in Bisbee and in a manner that would attract tourists to the community. Many faithful volunteers cleared thousands of tons of fallen rock and re-timbered the old workings. They were assisted by local individuals and groups who furnished support and food for the workers. The local effort came to the attention of a federal agency, the Economic Development Administration, which approved a large grant to the City of Bisbee to help the mine tour project and other improvements in downtown Bisbee designed to aid the tourist business. The Queen Mine Tour was officially opened to visitors on February 1, 1976. Since then, more than a million visitors, from all 50 states and more than 30 foreign countries, have enjoyed the ride into the mountain on the underground mine tour train. Bisbee survived and remains as the county seat.
Modern Bisbee[edit]
The sudden flood of real estate onto the market and crash in housing prices, coupled with an attractive climate and picturesque scenery, led to Bisbee's subsequent rebirth as an artists' colony in the early 1970s. Artist Stephen Hutchison and his wife, Marcia, purchased the town's anchor business and architectural gem, The Copper Queen Hotel, from the Phelps-Dodge mining company in 1970 after the company had failed to find a local buyer. The deed to the hotel had been offered to any local resident for the sum of $1.00, with no success.
Hutchison purchased and renovated the hotel, as well as other buildings in the downtown, which included a start of the 20th century Brewery and Stock Exchange. Hutchison began to actively market Bisbee as a destination where travelers could find the authentic, old southwest. Hutchison's endeavors attracted developer Ed Smart. Among the many guests at the hotel were celebrities from nearby California. John Wayne was a frequent visitor to Bisbee and The Copper Queen. He befriended Hutchison and eventually partnered with Smart in his real estate ventures. This period of Bisbee's history is well documented in contemporary articles in The New Yorker and in an article by Cynthia Buchanan in The Cornell Review. It was at this time that Bisbee became a haven for artists and hippies fleeing the larger cities of Arizona and California and, later, the increasing gentrification of places like Aspen, Colorado.
The rediscovery of Bisbee by baby boomers in the 1990s saw it develop a more polished look, complete with coffee shops and live theater. Many of the old houses have been renovated, and property values in Bisbee now greatly exceed those of other Southeastern Arizona cities.
Today, the original city of Bisbee is known as "Old Bisbee", and is home to a thriving downtown cultural scene. Old Bisbee is also noted for its architecture, including its Victorian style houses and elegant Art Deco courthouse. Because its plan was laid out before the automobile, Old Bisbee has an almost European feel. The town's hilly terrain is exemplified by the old four-story high school: each floor has a ground-level entrance.
In the May–June 2000 issue of Modern Maturity, the AARP highlighted what they called the most 'alive' places to retire in the U.S. Bisbee was a runner-up as one of the "quirkiest" towns in America.[5]
The city of Bisbee now includes the historic downtown Bisbee, as well as the geographically spaced but administratively combined satellite communities of Warren, Lowell, and San Jose. The Lowell and Warren townsites were founded around their own mining subdivisions before being purchased in large part by Phelps Dodge and then consolidated into Bisbee-proper during the early part of the twentieth century. There are also smaller neighborhoods interspersed between these larger boroughs including Galena, Bakerville, Tintown, South Bisbee, Briggs and Saginaw.
Warren has the distinction of being Arizona's first planned community. Although there were mines operating in the vicinity, it was primarily designed as a bedroom community for the more affluent citizens of the mining district. The centrally located Vista Park and its adjacent downtown area at one time comprised a thriving center of commerce. Warren boasts a fine collection of Arts and Crafts style bungalow houses, many of which are historically registered and can be visited by the public during the city's annual home tour. Since the exit of mining in the 1970s, Warren has seen a steady decline in its standard of living, but its residential district still houses a significant portion of the population and it boasts ownership of many public services including City Hall, Greenway Elementary School, Bisbee High School, and the historic Warren Ballpark.
Lowell was at one time a sizable mining town located just to the southeast of Old Bisbee. The majority of the original townsite was consumed by the excavation of the Lavender Pit mine during the 1950s. All that is left today is a small portion of Erie Street, along with Evergreen Cemetery, Saginaw subdivision and Lowell Middle School. These days Lowell is considered by most of the local residents to be more of a place name than an actual community.
San Jose, on the southern side of the Mule Mountains, is the most modern of the city's subdivisions, and has seen the most new growth in the last two decades as it is not restricted by mountains. Named after a nearby Mexican mountain peak, it hosts many newer county government buildings, Huachuca Terrace Elementary School, and a large shopping center.
Resurgence of mining industry[edit]
In 2007, in what has been noted as the world's biggest-ever mining takeover, Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold bought Phelps Dodge Mining[6] and has begun some preliminary work in the area.
Special events[edit]
The Bisbee 1000 Stair Climb is a five kilometer run through Bisbee that goes up and down 1,034 stairs. Because much of Old Bisbee is built in the hills of the Mule Mountains, many of the houses can't be reached by car. Billed as "The most unique physical fitness challenge in the USA!" by the organizers,[7] it includes being serenaded by musicians at various locations among the stairs. The event has grown to include the Ice Man Competition, designed to honor the history of men delivering blocks of ice by hand before the advent of refrigeration. In the Ice Man Competition, entrants race up 155 steps carrying a ten-pound block of ice with antique ice tongs.

Naco and Bisbee Junction[edit]
Naco, Arizona is a small unincorporated border community some three miles south of the San Jose district of Bisbee. It straddles the Mexico – United States border and is home to an official port of entry. Naco features a U.S. Post Office, an elementary school, and several businesses, including a small store, garage, and saloon.
Bisbee Junction (formerly Osborn or Osborn Junction) is located four miles south of Warren. It was originally a railroad siding where ore trains from the Bisbee mines joined with the main Southern Pacific rail line. A Southern Pacific depot and U.S. Post Office building in the style of the first half of the 20th century originally stood at the railroad junction, but it was closed in the late 1950s and razed soon afterward. A dance hall, an Elks club and small dry goods store were once located near the depot, and the settlement was once home to several cattle ranches and dairies. The Arizona Cactus Botanical Garden was located in Bisbee Junction.
Bisbee is located at 31°25′6″N 109°53′52″W / 31.41833°N 109.89778°W (31.418390, -109.897772).[8]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 4.8 square miles (12 km2), all of it land.
Bisbee has the typical semi-arid climate (Köppen BSk) of the upland Mountain West. Summer days are warm to hot and dry before the monsoon brings the wettest season from July to September with 10.65 inches (270.5 mm) of Bisbee's total annual rainfall of 18.63 inches (473.2 mm). During the winter, frontal cloudbands may bring occasional rainfall or even snowfall, though average maxima in the winter are typically very mild and sometimes even warm.

I am trying notify.app, but I'm not able to get it to work just quite right for outgoing mail through my two Yahoo accounts. Does anyone here have a menubar application to recommend for email notifications on Snow Leopard (10.6.8)?

I have been using Notify.app since earlier this afternoon. It cannot send e-mails with Notify.app with either of my Yahoo accounts, but it receives e-mails okay from Yahoo. Notify.app receives and sends well with Gmail. When the Notify.app is configured to open up an e-mail with my default Mail.app client, it marks the e-mail as read -- which overrides my user preference of don't mark as read (TruePreview add-on). So if I do not send an e-mail using Yahoo with Notify.app, and if I do not open up my e-mails from Notify.app with my Mail.app, it is a workable solution.
I bought Sparrow today, but it automatically marks e-mails as read and doesn't show the read / unread count in the inbox. The mailtab option in iTunes recommended by cuestakid is a wonderful option for people with only gmail accounts. |

I now have MacBiff and Notify running in the menubar, and like both. I have been unable to obtain a copy of MailCue 2.0.4 and/or a license because the developers discontinued supporting it earlier this year.

Well, more than a year has gone by and there is still no solution . . . Sparrow sucks, and Notify doesn't work with Mountain Lion. I'm going to have to write a letter to the CEO of Apple. Such a simple thing . . . let Mail.app run under the hood and send notifications to the notification center.

It is a good day for the Mac world!!!
Mail Call (in the App Store) is a suitable replacement for Notify.app. It's missing a few bells and whistles, but the basic functionality is already there.
MacBiff was also updated at the end of 2012. |

Hey I'm in the market for a new MMORPG this winter, since i'll be in Corvallis and it will be raining the whole time. What's so good about FFXI? Maybe i'll get it. You'll have to tell me the server you're on.
Dragondeva | #35 Subject: FFXI Posted: 09/21/2004 15:36:48 |
I dont play final fantasy online. I have tried quite a few of the online games. Never FFXI tho'. I have been a Ultima Online fan for years.. still play. I may break down one day and try FFXI.
FFguru | #36 Subject: What's good and bad about FF XI Posted: 09/21/2004 16:03:10 |
Well as far the good goes from what I can tell the biggest one is that unlike most other mmorpg's that are on a comp and game system this one allows both users to interact with each other. So basically you have comp and PS2 players on at all times. The chaceter selection is awsome and so is the job selection. The can get repetive up to level 10 or so because a lot of time is spent soloing and leveling up. The city's are always active and plenty of people to talk with. There are a lot of nice people out there on this game, so if ya find some get a linkshell and start something. the worst parts that I can see is the money situation. Monsy is real hard to come by in the game so you spens a lot of time selling your items and armor you no longer need. But I will say this if you get the higher level jobs SAVE YOUR ARMOR for them. Money does become harder to come by later in the game. Then also the one thing I have heard from a lot of other players is they have a problem not being able to cutomize the armor. Like colors, and such other things. But to me there is so much already on the program that would just add a little more lag and prossesing time. But with all that I guess if you love FF you'll love it. One more good thing about it is that unlike a lot of mmorpg's it doesn't matter as much if you have dial up or high speed dsl, and you can play anywhere with it on a comp or any line connection with your ps2 no matter the connection.

Hey Dagger, welcome to the club. If you have any interesting photos or screenshots feel free to post them. And as for FFXI, FFguru, it sounds like a cool gaming environment. However, I might have to check the review in CGW or PCgamer before I buy, their opinions are gold to me.

Obama briefed on 9/11 anniversary preparations
Monday - 9/10/2012, 5:12pm  ET
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has been briefed by his top national security aides on the government's preparedness ahead of the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The White House said Monday the president and his advisers discussed specific measures the administration was taking to prevent 9/11-related attacks. They also discussed steps that were being taken to protect Americans abroad and U.S. forces serving in combat zones.
The White House did not detail any of the measures being taken, noting only that Obama instructed government agencies to do everything possible to protect the American people both at home and abroad.
It will be 11 years on Tuesday since the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The short answer is no, except in very rare circumstances.
The New Mexico Workers' Compensation Act is a no fault system, designed to benefit both employees and employers. The primary benefit to this no fault system for the injured worker is that her or she does not have to prove negligence to receive compensation, as would be required in a typical personal injury claim. Generally, a worker injured in the course and scope of employment is entitled to benefits, regardless of whether the employer or the worker, or even another employee was negligent. Simply put, for the most part negligence is irrelevant in worker's compensation.
The no fault system further provides a benefit to the worker because he or she does not have to prove up negligence. This allows for a more timely award of benefits to the worker.
The New Mexico Workers' Compensation Act provides a very important benefit to the employer as well—that is, the employer can not be sued outside of workers' compensation. In other words, the law does not require the worker to prove negligence, but as a tradeoff, it prohibits the workers from suing the employer outside of worker's compensation.
Thus, for 99% of workers that means the worker cannot sue his or her employer, not even if your employer is negligent, or even grossly negligent.
I did mention there are rare situations in which a worker can sue an employer. This is known as a "Delgado Claim" named after the New Mexico case which first provided this right to workers. Without getting into the specifics of the case, and a complex analysis, I can simplify it with a simple example of what is required.
Assume there is a fire at work, and your employer demands that you rush into the burning fire or you will be fired. You refuse citing the obvious risks, and your employer again demands that you rush into the burning fire risking your life. You reluctantly agree, and are injured in doing so.
Okay, this is a bit of an exaggeration, but not much! While not exactly the standard for bringing a Delgado claim, this provides a helpful example as to the extremely high burden an injured worker must overcome to sue his or her employer. Another way of looking at it is that it must almost be intentional.
If you believe you have a situation that may rise to this level, please contact me and I will be happy to discuss your situation in more detail.
But as a general rule, assume you can't sue your employer.
A couple quick side notes that must be mentioned while we are on this topic…you can potentially bring a claim outside of worker's compensation if someone other than your employer or fellow employee caused your injury. The most common examples of this are negligent third party contractors or negligent drivers injuring you in a car accident while you are in the course and scope of employment. In this situation, you can potentially bring a worker's compensation claim and a personal injury claim.
This is obviously meant to be a very quick overview of this area of the law, and is not intended to be a complete explanation. I will be happy to discuss the facts of your case if you need further information.

brill service great new venu ,great food me and my friends love going to indian kitchen it is also great for birthdays the staff make you feel welcome and nothing is a bother to them,you must try!!!!jade smith
What a fantastic gem in Cleethorpes!!! We had booked our table the week before and this is to be advised if you come on a weekend. As we noticed upon our arrival that the Restaurant was fully booked and the atmosphere and decor was absolutely amazing. The staff where very friendly and tentative throughout our meal. They offered us some recommendations and also had a special dish of the day, which is always a good sign of professional restaurant. Myself and husband eat a lot of Indian cuisine and I can certainly assure anyone that they serve exceptional Indian food. So do yourself a favour and get down there if you are looking to experience the best Indian Curry in Cleethorpes or Grimsby and make sure you come hungry!
Had a meal out here with some friends a few nights ago and the service and meal were first class, one of my friends didn't know what he wanted and just said a Korma but the waiter recommended a dish for him to try and he was very impressed. The atmosphere was bustling without being overbearing and very friendly. Overall great
The new menu has some amazing delights that can't be found in Cleethorpes and the service from Zick, Naz and Jamin is on a different level. They really do make you feel part of the Indian Kitchen family. Try the new ice creams - out of this world..
My brother raves about this place, so we decided to make the effort to change from our usual indian and try it. And boy, where we disappointed! The meal was bland - lacking any kind of flavour at all, and one of our dishes - chicken tikka was flourescent pink! I have had some strange Tikkas in my time, but none of thel glowed in the dark!!! The food was cold, tasteless and boring. Not what I want from an Indian - the cuisine of spices, flavours and texture. Had the food been better quality,. I could have forgiven the above-average prices.
Great indian food with a great location... staff are alwasy friendly and the takeaway service is great.. one negative i did once have very sloppy rice on a takeaway.. but other than that it is delicious
Good restaurant with welcoming staff. The modern decor makes it a pleasant dining experience. Never had a bad meal here.
We dont often eat out at an Indian, but Indian Kitchen is our first port of call, out of the many restaurants in the area. The decor is modern and bright, and the restaurant is always buzzing, with music. I often stick to the same meal every time I go, but each time I am not disappointed. We usually have a take away from here too, which is always of a high standard, but on the odd occasion we did have to wait nearly an hour and a half for our delivery, but as compensation we did have some money taken off our bill, and it hasnt put us off returning to them.
I cannot recommend The Indian Kitchen enough, it is one of if not the best Indian in Grimsby, they have an extensive menu, all freshly prepared and being one of those people who is never quite sure what they want they are really good at creating something that is unique for you.... that is what you call service

How to count to a zillion without falling off the end of the number line
Brian Hayes
In their native habitat—which is not the digital computer—numbers are boundless and free-ranging. Along the real number line are infinitely many integers, or whole numbers. Between any two integers are infinitely many rational numbers, such as 3/2 and 5/4. Between any two rationals are infinitely many irrationals—numbers like √2 or π.
The reals are a Garden of Eden for doing arithmetic. Just follow a few simple rules—such as not dividing by zero—and these numbers will never lead you astray. They form a safe, closed universe. If you start with any set of real numbers, you can add and subtract and multiply all day long—and divide, too, except by zero—and at the end you'll still have real numbers. There's no risk of slipping through the cracks or going out of bounds.
Unfortunately, digital computers exist only outside the gates of Eden. Out here, arithmetic is a treacherous process. Even simple counting can get you in trouble. With computational numbers, adding 1 over and over eventually brings you to a largest number—something unknown in mathematics. If you try to press on beyond this limit, there's no telling what will happen. The next number after the largest number might be the smallest number; or it might be something labeled ∞; or the machine might sound an alarm, or die in a puff of smoke.
This is a lawless territory. On the real number line, you can always rely on principles like the associative law: (a+b)+c=a+(b+c). In some versions of computer arithmetic, that law breaks down. (Try it with a=1030, b=–1030, c=1.) And when calculations include irrational numbers—well, irrationals just don't exist in the digital world. They have to be approximated by rationals—the very thing they are defined not to be. As a result, mathematical identities such as (√2)2=2 are not to be trusted.

"The expression [the shit hits the fan] is related to, and may well derive from, an old joke. A man in a crowded bar needed to defecate but couldn't find a bathroom, so he went upstairs and used a hole in the floor. Returning, he found everyone had gone except the bartender, who was cowering behind the bar. When the man asked what had happened, the bartender replied, 'Where were you when the shit hit the fan?'

CORRECTED-Sri Lanka film on war crimes makes debut at U.N.
- Tweet

(Adds desciption in 12th paragraph of scene featuring Prabhakaran's son; in paragraph 13 replaces quote that pertained to another scene in film)
* Documentary has first public viewing in Geneva
* Sri Lanka government sought to halt screening
* Film depicts horrific scenes from 'No Fire Zone'
* Filmmaker Macrae says it is a "call to action"
GENEVA, March 1 (Reuters) - A documentary purporting to show the execution of civilians and other war crimes committed by the Sri Lankan army had its first public screening on Friday but was swiftly rejected by the government as part of an "orchestrated campaign" against it.
The documentary "No Fire Zone: The Killing Fields of Sri Lanka" is the third by British journalist and director Callum Macrae about the final stages of the nearly 30-year civil war.
"We see it as a film of record, but also a call to action," Macrae told a news briefing. "All of it is genuine. It is evidence of war crimes and I have to warn you it is pretty horrific."
Tens of thousands of civilians were killed in 2009 in the final months the war, a U.N. panel has said, as government troops advanced on the ever-shrinking northern tip of the island controlled by Tamil rebels fighting for an independent homeland.
The film depicts terrifying scenes from the territory held by the Tamil Tiger rebels just before their defeat in May 2009. In the so-called "No Fire Zone" declared by the army, rights groups say soldiers killed thousands of Tamil civilians by heavy shelling and massacres yet perpetrators have gone unpunished.
"The Tigers are guilty of war crimes, guilty of using child soldiers and preventing civilians from leaving, so they are complicit in some ways in what happened," Macrae told reporters.
Sri Lanka's government this week formally protested against the film's screening on U.N. premises on the sidelines of the Human Rights Council. The event, organised by activist groups seeking an international inquiry into atrocities by both sides, was allowed to proceed.
"By providing a platform for the screening of this film which includes footage of dubious origin, content that is distorted and without proper sourcing and making unsubstantiated allegations, the sponsors of this event seek to tarnish the image of Sri Lanka," Ravinatha Aryasinha, Sri Lanka's ambassador to the United Nations in Geneva, told the audience on Friday.
Aryasinha - who did not attend the viewing but entered just after the 90-minute film ended - said: "It will take a few days, possibly weeks, before experts in the field would be able to ascertain the true facts about the contents of this film."
Colombo considered the film as "part of a cynical, concerted and orchestrated campaign that is strategically driven and aimed at influencing debate in the council on Sri Lanka," he said.
Some footage of troops executing naked and blindfolded prisoners are from "trophy videos" taken by government soldiers on mobile phones, according to Macrae, whose two previous films on Sri Lanka's civil war were broadcast by Britain's Channel 4.
Balachandran Prabhakaran, a 12-year-old son of the slain Tamil Tiger founder Velupillai Prabhakaran, is shown in a series of photographs in the last hours of his short life. He is first shown eating a biscuit while held captive by soldiers, then shot dead along with other men presumed to be his bodyguards.
"There were five gunshot wounds indicating the distance of the muzzle of the weapon to the boy's chest was two or three feet or less. This is a homicide, murder, there's no doubt," forensic pathologist Derrick Pounder says in the film.
Rights groups and a member of a U.N. expert panel set up by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said the footage corresponded to evidence they had gathered from the conflict.
The panel, whose findings have been rejected by the Sri Lankan government, said the army committed large-scale abuses and that as many as 40,000 civilians were killed in the last months of the conflict.
"I believe that most of the footage in the film can be corroborated. In fact in our report you find references to many things you see in the documentary," Yasmin Sooka, a member of Ban's panel, told Reuters after attending the screening.
Julie de Rivero, director of the Geneva office of Human Rights Watch, one of the organisers, said: "The Human Rights Council cannot continue to ignore the call for an independent international investigation into war crimes that were committed.
"All our investigations corroborate what is shown in this film, that civilians were indiscriminately targeted, that thousands and thousands and thousands of them died unjustly." (Reporting by Stephanie Nebehay; Editing by Rosalind Russell and Kevin Liffey)

Growing your own pecan tree is a surprisingly affordable way to bring beauty to your landscape, and enjoy nuts that will enhance the flavor of your food, and provide important nutrients for your diet. When these stately trees mature, they are very tall (about 75-100'), and can also function as shade trees, protecting you from the elements and helping to keep energy costs down. They are also very productive, giving you bushels of flavorful pecans that are ultimately much less expensive than those sold at the grocery store. They are perfect for eating as tasty snacks or making delicious pies, pralines or cookies. And they're healthy — pecans are an excellent natural source of antioxidants, protein, unsaturated fats and more. And since pecan trees can continue to bear nuts for hundreds of years, these homegrown treats can be enjoyed for generations.

United States Senator
June 15, 2004
Thank you very much Mr. Chairman for inviting me to testify.
The need for greater border security became glaringly evident to us in the Northwest in 1998 when Ahmed Ressam, a terrorist trained at one of Osama bin Laden's training camps in Afghanistan, was arrested shortly after crossing the Canadian border at Port Angeles, Washington. Explosives and other bomb-making materials were found in the trunk of Ressam's car. Ressam's plan was to head to Los Angeles to blow up the Los Angeles Airport. Thanks to the work of Diana Dean, the U.S. Customs Inspector, this terrorist was apprehended. This frightening incident made clear the vulnerabilities we face along the porous northern border, vulnerabilities that became even more concerning after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
But the Ressam case raises questions about our international standards. Ressam began his journey on a French visa, leaving Algeria and landing in Versailles. Ressam came into the United States after creating a trail of fraudulent documents on his journey from Algeria to the United States - first obtaining a French passport on the basis of a fake French birth certificate; he then entered Canada under his own name, seeking refugee status. While living in Canada, he used a false baptismal certificate to obtain a Canadian passport under an alias.
An international biometric standard for visas would have identified Ressam the first time he tried to enter France. That identification would have been traceable when he entered the United States and he would have more easily been stopped.
In the Patriot Act, I was able to work with Senators Hatch and Leahy to add provisions in to establish technology standards for the U.S. visa program. Those provisions, section 403(c) of the Patriot Act, called for technology standards to facilitate a comprehensive screening of visa applicants at our overseas consulates; access to the necessary law enforcement, watch-list and intelligence information at our consular offices and at border crossings, and verification of the identity of persons crossing our border as being the same person who obtained the travel documents and that the person is someone we would not want to exclude from entering the United States.
In the Enhanced Border Security and Visa Entry Reform Act of 2002, I worked closely with Senators Kennedy, Feinstein, Brownback and Kyl to include in Section 603 a requirement that the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security coordinate this same technology into their work with Canada, Mexico and the 27 visa waiver countries. This would implement standards for visa programs that would be compatible with those adopted in the U.S.
More simply said, we must recognize that we need international cooperation, we need the international community to adopt visa technology standards compatible with our own. This would enable us to catch the Ressams of the world sooner.
The problem begins in the United States. The requirements of the visa technology standard, like the passport standards, have not been met. Congress required that visa standards be set by 2003. In a report issued in November of 2002, The National Institute for Standards and Technology, the standards body responsible for certifying the standard, recommended dual-biometric for visas: fingerprints and facial recognition. With the US VISIT Program, the Department of Homeland Security has begun to implement a national biometrics program using dual biometrics. But the biometrics chosen don't allow for searching FBI or Interpol databases. More analysis should be done on the appropriate standards.
The Departments of State and Homeland Security, must make it a priority to establish U.S. standards, and to work with the International Standards setting Organization, the ISO, which is the network of national standards institutes from 148 countries, and the International civil aviation organization, to adopt these standards.
We need to stop terrorists before they are at our borders. In fact, we should be working first and hardest in regard to the seven State Department listed "terrorist states." These are the countries in which we must first implement biometric standards in travel documents and make the screening information available to those issuing those documents, along with the 27 visa waiver program countries. It should be the priority.
The 19 hijackers that perpetrated the attack on the U.S. on September 11, 2001 had submitted 24 visa applications, receiving 22 tourist visas and one student visa. The 19 entered the United States a total of 33 times before flying airplanes into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon. We have got to do a better job at securing our visa process.
I am asking this committee to take a very close look at the progress on the international establishment of both the visa standard and the passport standard - these technical matters are inextricably linked in how we protect our borders. Given the significance of these technology standards, and the delay in implementing the requirements of the statute, I ask that committee be updated by the Administration every six months.
Thank you Mr. Chairman for giving me the opportunity to testify.

Several desktop computers are available in a smaller room, and they're equipped with software needed to perform homework for engineering or similar classes.
Students will be able to check out laptops they can use in both the center and library, King said. Wireless internet service will be available in the center. The lack of such service has been a problem in most of Tech's academic buildings.
Another large room with a digital projector can be reserved for group projects. Smaller rooms are intended for quiet study, especially for the large number of students who commute to campus, King said.
Furniture cost nearly $54,000 and was the most expensive part of the project. Carpeting cost $32,500; construction came in at a little more than $17,500; new paint ran $12,500; and technology network expenses were $5,300.
The center is a part of Tech's revitalization efforts. In the fall of 2011 state legislators reviewed a report chronicling various problems: declining enrollment, crumbling infrastructure and mounting financial deficits.
Tech spent $26.7 million in 2011, compared to the $20.7 million it brought in during that time period. Fall enrollment was 1,106, almost 23 percent smaller than it was in 2007.
Long acknowledged Tech has had trouble recruiting and retaining students.
Many of those problems stemmed from lack of resources aimed at freshmen in particular, she said.
"At Tech, you can't solve problems unless you recognize them, and we recognize that one of our problems is retention. And so we needed to do a better job with our freshman," Long said.
"We had other ways that we were working with freshman, but we didn't have a completely coordinated way. So this not only meets the needs of our freshman, but some of our other students that need places to come and study, want to study with groups, those sort of things," she said.
The official opening of the success center is set for Monday.
It's not the only new feature on campus: the school just completed some exterior and utility improvements at Old Main, the main administration building on campus. All dorms will have wireless capabilities by the start of school next year, Long said.

Meanings in life Change: April 2011 It is clear that in every phase of life the importance of material and feelings change. When you're a baby a dirty diaper makes you upset, later it's the car your older brother has confiscated by force. Sometimes we think we understand the meaning for some feelings and later they changes as rapid as clouds for the sun. Here I am 29 years old ... read more

Here's how RW members rated this race (347 votes).
In short: The error over the extra distance is unforgiveable. Last time I do this one I'm afraidIn full: Whilst the apologies of the race director are appreciated, the cock up over the extra distance will put many faster runners off this race for good. The pre-race facilities were poor, with people squeezing into the clubhouse. Sadly the scenery was never going to compensate, making it a pretty miserable day out. There are plenty more half marathons to run at this time of yearDate of review: February 26, 2006
In short: despite the added length, I found this a friendly and enjoyable raceIn full: didn't look at my watch after 7 miles, but nevertheless was surprised to reach the finish in a slower time than I'd anticipated. The mystery was soon solved though, as the organisers owned up to an unintentional added extra 0.7 mile. Which means I probably did a pb, which is why I'm not too upset. I found this a really friendly race, with lots of support from marshals and other runners. Date of review: February 26, 2006
In short: The Roding Valley 14.1 mile Half MarathonIn full: Due to a cock-up by the marchsall & the lead car mile 7-8 was about 1.7 miles (and uphill & into the wind). In my opinion, once the organisers realised this, the should have instructed all other marshalls (where possible) to let runners know they had ran an extra 0.7 mile, as many didn't have a clue & were left with nothing to run for or push themselves for in the latter stages. Their revised times may come out quite good. Other than that, which may be handy in prep for London, having ran 14! I wasn't overly impressed.The course was tricky & hard to get any fluency, constanly having to avoid cars beside you, pulling out of junctions, roadworks, over hanging thorn bushes, the drink stations weren't up to much, there wasn't any marker at the start (that I could see) and no drinks for the last 4 miles or at the finish line was disappointing. Even a small goody bag with something to eat wouldn't have gone a miss.On the plus side, the support was good, the parking was good & the price was good & being able to enter on the day was excellent & well manned. And there were some gorgeous women running around my pace which made it easier.But it will always be remembered for the cock up by the marshall & the stretch along by the David Lloyd centre & M11 really needed to be roped off to some degree. It was hard enough to fit one person down it.Date of review: February 26, 2006
In short: cold, a bit hilly and the race was longer than shown on the mapIn full: I just did the race today and when comparing it to the race map, realised that the second large loop was in fact longer than described on the map. It incorporated the first small loop again, when I'm not sure if it was suppoes to or not! I really hope I haven't run more than the necessary 13 miles!!Date of review: February 26, 2006
In short: My first half - was fine, finish a little confusing and DM not 100% but can't really complainDate of review: March 4, 2005
In short: Challenging, but well worth the effort.In full: This certainly isn't the easiest or most picturesque half marathon course you'll ever see but if you like a challenging course that still has the potential to produce a good time if you're prepared to work for it, then this is a good one. Traffic can be a problem on some parts of the course (more of an annoyance than a real hinderance - just need to be careful)& an early start time isn't particularly convenient if you're not local but aside from that it's difficult to find fault with this race. I have run it for the last 4 years and will definitely be back for a 5th next year.Date of review: March 4, 2005
In short: a good challenging 1/2 proir to FLMDate of review: February 28, 2005
In short: Hilly but so cold you had to run fastDate of review: February 28, 2005
In short: Could have been so much better!In full: Overall it wasn't a bad run, thank you to all the friendly marshalls and it was great to receive a medal rather than the usual t-shirt we get at a lot of races. However, I would have expected the organisation to be a lot better for such a reputable club..I was suprised that there was no baggage area, also the start and finish weren't clearly marked..especially the finish (I was heading towards the track!), there was no clock..and a cup of water wouldn't have gone a miss! Sorry to whinge but it just seemed like a lot of obvious things had been overlooked by the organisers.Date of review: February 28, 2005
In short: Boring scenery, and didn;t like having to dodge pedestrians and carsIn full: A few more signs for people who have never been to that club or ran that race before, like 'toilets this way', 'baggage' etc etc. Most importantly a finish sign would have been helpful. I was in a small group of runners that kept going on the wrong side of the rope and had to climb under it to get our places noted. Not impressed with that race finish at all.Date of review: February 28, 2005
